Hey LEGO fans! Exciting news! May 2024 is shaping up to be a blockbuster month for new LEGO sets, and I’m here to give you the scoop on what’s coming, straight from the LEGO wonderland. The highlight of May LEGO Shopping is undoubtably May 4th this year celebrating the 25th Anniversary of LEGO Star Wars.
So, first up, let’s dive into the Star Wars galaxy. We’ve got the massive 1,931-piece TIE Interceptor making its grand entry. If you’re more into the classic scenes, the Mos Espa Podrace Diorama set is going to transport you right back to that iconic race from “The Phantom Menace”. And for those who love a bit of strategic gameplay, the BARC Speeder Escape set is ready to provide some action-packed fun.
