LEGO May the 4th (and 5th) Event Offerings

April 27, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

LEGO’s May the 4th event is a week away and I’ve just received an email from LEGO detailing some of their offers during the event. If you’re a VIP member you should’ve gotten a similar email showcasing their specials for next week. There will be FREE shipping for purchases of $49 or more. We all know about the FREE Han Solo (Hoth) minifigure by now. You can get it with Star Wars purchases of $75 or more. Finally, you can get an exclusive poster with any Star Wars purchase. Plus, the Red Five X-wing Starfighter (10240) is released on the same day so you can get all the deals with that one purchase.

LEGO Star Wars UCS Red Five X-wing Starfighter (10240) Revealed

February 15, 2013 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 2 Comments

At LEGO World in Copenhagen, LEGO has officially announced the next LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collectors Set, the Red Five X-wing Starfighter (10240). A few days ago, Kevin Hinkle did mention that a new exclusive set will be revealed outside the US and today, we now know what that set will be. The X-wing will contain 1558 pieces and will retail for $199.99. It will be released in May 2013. This is the second incarnation of the X-wing with the first one being released back in 2000 (7191). Like the previous model, this X-wing will also include a R2-D2 minifigure which we probably have about 3 or 4 of already.

With the release of this X-wing, I feel that the phrase “Ultimate Collectors” is diminished because in my opinion, sets shouldn’t be remakes of previous models but something new that haven’t been released before. On the other side of the coin, it’s nice for newer collectors who didn’t get a chance to get it the first time around. With that said, I’ll probably be picking it up since I got back from my “Dark Ages” a little late.

Below are the details of the UCS Red Five X-wing Starfighter:
