Billund, April 15, 2024: As celebrations for the LEGO Star Wars 25th anniversary continue throughout the year, fans should hold on tight to their TIE Interceptors as a lot of exciting things are happening. May the 4th be with you!

New 25th anniversary products are coming for May the 4th:

The TIE Interceptor building set that was part of the first launch of the Ultimate Collector Series in 2000 is back in a new and redesigned version. Admirers of Star Wars: Return of the Jedi™ can relive the action of the movie, as they recreate the distinctive wings, detailed cockpit, and laser cannons of the magnificent LEGO Star Wars TIE Interceptor™ building set.

The 1,931-piece set is an impressive 40 centimeters/16 inches long and comes complete with an exclusive TIE Pilot minifigure and Mouse Droid figure, currently limited to this set. The model is mounted on a stand with a printed plaque and includes a printed brick (3.2 centimeters/ 1.3 inches wide, 0.8 centimeters/ 0.3 inches long and 3.2 centimeters/ 1.3 inches high) with the LEGO Star Wars anniversary logo.

Fans of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace™ can dive into building a dynamic snapshot of Tatooine with the Mos Espa Podrace™ Diorama building set. The 718-piece display set includes Anakin Skywalker, the Arch Canyon and a plaque with Qui-Gon Jinn’s advice: “Remember. Concentrate on the moment. Feel. Don’t think. Use your instincts.”

For those who have already ventured to the dark side, the 640-piece Darth Maul’s Sith Infiltrator™ building set could be ideal. Fans can fold out the wings and retract the landing gear for flight, fire the 2 spring-loaded shooters and press the trigger to drop 3 DRK-1 probe droids from the front compartment.

Alternatively, fans can check out the brick-built destroyer droid, Droideka™ set with 583 pieces. Those who prefer brick-built display characters are also in for a treat with the set of six collectible LEGO BrickHeadz™ figures featuring the characters of Jar Jar Binks, Anakin Skywalker, Queen Amidala, Captain Panaka, Qui-Gon Jinn and Darth Maul.

For Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith™ fans, there is also a BrickHeadz™ Clone Commander Cody set.

Anyone who is team Grogu will be happy that they can now immerse themselves into the building experience of the 221-piece BARC Speeder™ Escape alongside Kelleran Beq.

And the May the 4th celebrations continue in LEGO Fortnite, with exciting new LEGO Star Wars content to discover in the survival crafting game beginning May 3rd. Fans should keep their sights to the stars in LEGO Fortnite later in the month!

Also launching for pre-order on May 1st is the new LEGO Star Wars Coffee Table Book, The Force of Creativity – 312-page hardcover book in a slipcase with collective memorabilia which takes fans on a journey through interviews with more than 50 contributors from the LEGO Group and Lucasfilm. The book includes development art, character designs and gives fans a true insight into the LEGO Star Wars galaxy. The book will be available for pre-order here.

“May the 4th be with all LEGO Star Wars fans! We are excited to continue our 25th anniversary celebration with an exciting line-up of new sets, events, and experiences for fans to enjoy. I’m looking forward to seeing how fans choose to celebrate all things LEGO Star Wars on this iconic day around the world,” said Mike Ilacqua, Head of Product, LEGO Star Wars products at the LEGO Group.

Fans are also invited to join the 25-Second Film Festival, which will be open until April 22nd and culminates on May 4th when the festival truly kicks off, with all videos featured on the LEGO YouTube channel, as well as highlights on LEGO.com

The film festival is inviting fans to submit their own 25-second clip that recreates their favourite Star Wars moments or forges a new one with LEGO Star Wars building sets and minifigures they treasure.

From May 1st to 5th, LEGO Star Wars fans will receive all three Gift with Purchases when purchasing the new LEGO Star Wars TIE Interceptor™: including the Battle of Yavin collectible depicting Darth Vader’s cockpit view, the Trade Federation Troop Carrier set commemorating the 25th anniversary of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace, and the AAT™ building set. These offerings coincide with the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th Livestream Event featuring special offers, set reveals, designer presentation and exciting giveaways like a signed TIE Interceptor™ set in the US, UK, and Germany on May 1st.

The new LEGO Star Wars products will be available from 1st May 2024. The LEGO Star Wars TIE Interceptor set is available exclusively at LEGO stores and online at LEGO.com with LEGO Insiders early access from 1st May 2024, and all shoppers from 4th May 2024. www.LEGO.com/Star-Wars

New Despicable Me Set Revealed – Minions and Banana Car

Looks like a new LEGO Despicable Me 4 set is on the way! An Australian LEGO store just spilled the beans on this upcoming model called the “Minions and Banana Car.” Apparently, it’s a 136-piece set that comes with 4 Minion figures, a little car, and all sorts of fun accessories like a remote control helmet and a dirty diaper gun. Sounds like a wild ride!

From what we can tell, the car itself has a removable engine that the big Mega Minion guy can lift with one hand. Meanwhile, the other Minions will be busy doing Minion things like painting bananas and pretending to fly around. Pretty silly stuff, but hey, that’s Despicable Me for ya!

No official release details yet, but this 75580 Minions and Banana Car set is supposed to hit shelves on May 1st, just a few months before the new Despicable Me 4 movie comes out in July. Gotta love how LEGO and the movies work together to give us all these awesome new toys to play with. Can’t wait to see what other Minion madness they have in store!

Sweet Surprises Await: LEGO’s Fruit Store Set Unveiled!

Hey folks, guess what? LEGO just dropped some juicy news! They’ve unveiled their latest microscale shop gift with purchase set, and it’s the Fruit Store (40684). This little gem packs in a sweet 337 pieces, promising loads of fun. Just like the Flower Store (40680) that was up for grabs last month, you’ll probably need to splash out around $200 to snag this one. As for when the promo kicks off, your guess is as good as mine, but I’m betting it’ll hit stores sometime in the latter half of April or early May. Keep those eyes peeled! 🍏🍇🍊

Welcome to the LEGO® Fruit Store. Built at mini-scale, this displayable collectible toy is the second in a series of 4 model LEGO stores for adult and teen builders aged 12 and up. Admire the architectural features on the front of the store, then turn it around to explore an interior packed with a bounty of colorful fruits. Above the store is a welcoming apartment, and the building is modular so you can display it as a 2-story building or place the levels side by side.

BREAKING: LEGO Star Wars Drops Epic Clone Commander Cody BrickHeadz – Here’s the Scoop!

Another set is joining the ranks of the May 2024 LEGO Star Wars lineup, and this time, it’s the highly anticipated BrickHeadz rendition of none other than 40675 Clone Commander Cody! Remember his epic debut in his Phase II armor back in 2022’s AT-TE set (75337)? Well, it was only a matter of time before he made his BrickHeadz debut, and now, thanks to an Australian Certified LEGO Store, we’ve got our first peek at him. From his iconic orange visor to the small blue plate to suggest Palpatine’s hologram, this BrickHeadz looks like it’s going to be a must-have for collectors.

Priced at AUD$15.99 (with international prices likely to match other BrickHeadz characters), Clone Commander Cody will be hitting shelves alongside at least four other sets on May 1, just in time for this year’s May the 4th celebrations. And that’s not all! Rumor has it that we might also see the release of the 40676 The Phantom Menace BrickHeadz Collection, featuring beloved characters like Jar Jar Binks, Queen Amidala, and Darth Maul. Keep your eyes peeled for more updates on these exciting releases!

Australian LEGO Site First To Reveal 2 New Star Wars Sets

Hey, fellow LEGO enthusiasts! If you’re a die-hard Star Wars fan like me, you’re in for a treat! The Australian Certified LEGO® Store has just dropped some exciting news: two brand-new additions to the LEGO Star Wars 25th Anniversary line-up of sets. Picture this: a sleek Droideka ready for display and another diorama scene straight out of the adrenaline-pumping Boonta Eve Podrace on Tatooine. While these sets won’t feature any exclusive figures, they do come with some pretty cool 25th Anniversary bricks to sweeten the deal. And guess what? You won’t have to wait long to get your hands on them because both the Mos Espa Podrace and Droideka sets are set to hit shelves during this year’s extra special May the 4th event. So, why wait? Let’s dive in and check out these stellar sets below!

75380 – Mos Espa Podrace – 718 Pieces

“Freeze-frame a moment from the thrilling Mos Espa Podrace with this LEGO® Star Wars™ Diorama (75380) buildable model kit for adults. This collectible building set invites you to channel the force, as Anakin Skywalker did in the Star Wars: The Phantom Menace adventure, to create a LEGO brick-built snapshot of his Podracer powering through Arch Canyon in hot pursuit of his racing rival Sebulba.

The impressive build-and-display model comes with a plaque bearing Qui-Gon Jinn’s advice (“Remember. Concentrate on the moment. Feel. Don’t think. Trust your instincts.”) and a LEGO Star Wars 25th anniversary brick.”

75381 – Droideka – 583 Pieces

“Celebrate the 25th anniversary of Star Wars: The Phantom Menace and LEGO® Star Wars™ sets with this collectible, Droideka LEGO droid figure (75381). The buildable destroyer LEGO droid figure in this playful display set for adults inspires memories of the Invasion of Naboo in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace and the Star Wars: The Clone Wars fantasy adventure. Realistic details include the Droideka’s arms, which can be moved back and forth in a shooting motion, and you can reattach the legs to transform it into its iconic ball shape.

To complete a striking centerpiece, this creative building set also has a stand with an information plaque, a LEGO Star Wars 25th anniversary brick and space for the included small LEGO figure of a Droideka.“
