How did you spend Star Wars Day 2026? We headed down to our local LEGO Store, where Matthew dressed as a pizza and I went mad for minifigures. Join us for a tour…

A journey to the LEGO Store is a rite of passage on launch day for new Collectible Minifigures series – you’ve got to scan them in person, can’t just be ordering them blindly online – and occasionally Matthew and I will take a camera along with us. So it was today, when if you were also at the Leeds store for opening you might have spotted a couple of guys pratting about near the giant pizza minifigure.

You can join us on our LEGO Store adventures for Star Wars Day by watching our latest YouTube video, in which Matthew finally gets hands-on with the UCS N-1 Starfighter, I scan too many minifigures (with the help of Brick Search) and we pick out what’s secretly the best May the 4th deal…

I like to think of myself as a journalist first, LEGO fan second, but we all know that’s not really the case. Journalism does run through my veins, though, like some kind of weird literary blood – the sort that will no doubt one day lead to a stress-induced heart malfunction. It’s like smoking, only worse. Thankfully, I get to write about LEGO until then.
