Lego Star Wars 2012 Sets – Savings on Amazon

On Amazon, a couple of 2012 Lego Star Wars sets are on sale. Check them out below:

Lego 9492 TIE Fighter
MSRP: $54.99 | Amazon: $49.97 (9% savings) | Amazon Sellers: $44.39 (19% savings)

Lego 9493 X-Wing Starfighter
MSRP: $59.99 | Amazon: $49.95(17% savings) | Amazon Sellers: $43.98 (27% savings)

The MSRP is the manufacturer’s suggested retail price, which is Lego’s selling price. The next one is Amazon.com’s price; if you buy from them, you’re buying directly from Amazon themselves. If you buy from Amazon sellers, you’re buying from individuals who have set up shops on Amazon (similar to eBay sellers). Happy hunting!

May the 4th Be With You and Revenge of the 5th

May the 4th Be With You and… Revenge of the 5th? That’s certainly new. So we know that on May 4th and 5th, we can get ourselves a shiny chrome TC-14 minifigure with a purchase of $75 or more in Lego Star Wars products. But this isn’t what it’s about – Lego decided to run a contest. On May 4th (Friday), it begins – all builders be on the alert because this is your time to shine. Check out the promotion poster below:

You can upload an image of your creation at starwars.LEGO.com/creations to participate in the contest. You can also go to a Lego store near you to have someone take a picture of your creation there or to make one there yourself and photograph it.

On May 5th (Saturday), they will release a Lego Star Wars mosaic of someone (or something) made with all the creation images submitted. Additionally, they will randomly select one of the submissions and the winner will receive a desktop-sized Lego Darth Maul. Note that the submissions will ONLY be accepted on May 4th and that ultimately, all submissions will be online.

May the Fourth Be With You! Promotion

With May 4th just a month away, Lego is again offering a promotion. This year, you can receive an exclusive chrome TC-14 minifigure with a purchase of $75 or more on May 4th and 5th.
If you haven’t already purchased sets from this year’s first wave, but you plan to, it would be a good idea to hold off until May, because it would make it much easier to rack up the required $75 if you really want that figure. And it doesn’t hurt to wait since the next wave of sets will not be released until late summer – given that though, some of those new MINI planet sets and miscellaneous polybag sets could be released in the time between now and August, so that’s even more reason to refrain from making any hasty purchases this month. Those could make all the difference if you find yourself short $5 – $10 of $75. You never know what they may release come next month.
