The LEGO online shop may have wrapped up the extended May the Fourth promotion yesterday, but today sees another Star Wars deal begin. Any pre-order from shop.LEGO.com gets a free R3-M2 astromech droid polybag added to the order.

This is the first minifigure, or droid, to include a little display stand with a nameplate that has pins on the side – suggesting that future releases will also include such buildable bases.

With a huge range of LEGO Star Wars sets currently available, some retiring soon, there is plenty to choose from to get this latest free astromech droid.
