Why should you buy LEGO Star Wars sets before May the 4th?
A new wave of LEGO Star Wars sets is now available, including the first two bust builds, and you don’t need to wait until May the 4th to pick them up.
There’s a lot to look forward to this May the 4th, from new gifts-with-purchase to Insiders rewards and make-and-take events. You can find out everything you need to know about the most exciting day of the year for Star Wars fans on our dedicated page. While the event has yet to begin, a fresh wave of LEGO Star Wars releases has launched in advance.
Despite May the 4th starting next weekend, you can get a head start on these new sets right now, and there are a few reasons not to wait until the offers start.
Beat the crowds
Whether you’re choosing to attend May the 4th online or in a physical LEGO Store (but especially if you’ll be doing it in a physical shop), the early launch of these LEGO Star Wars sets is a good chance to beat the crowds, at the cost of missing out on the 40917 The Darksaber gift-with-purchase. Some of the new The Mandalorian and Grogu builds may be popular and go out of stock next weekend, though stock may also hold just fine.
From online queues to potentially crowded stores, expect May the 4th to be busy, whether you’re shopping on LEGO.com or in person next weekend. The best way to avoid the crowds and get these new sets is simply to pick them up in advance, and there will still be an opportunity for a gift-with-purchase.
You’ll still get a gift-with-purchase
Until the end of the day today, 40760 Adventure Peely & Cuddle Team Leader is free with all online orders of £115 / €130 or more. A selection of the new LEGO Star Wars sets will be enough to get you over that threshold and ensure you don’t miss out on them before May the 4th while enjoying some kind of LEGO freebie.
There’s no doubt that 40760 Adventure Peely & Cuddle Team Leader isn’t quite the same as 40917 The Darksaber, but there will be other options for LEGO Star Wars sets during May the 4th 2026 to qualify for the new GWP.
There will be other options during the event
You don’t need to worry about picking up the new LEGO Star Wars sets to qualify for 40917 The Darksaber. One specific set is all you need to qualify for everything free during May the 4th. 75442 The Mandalorian’s N-1 Starfighter is the latest UCS set, which will launch on May 1 for LEGO Insiders and at £229.99 / $249.99 / €249.99, it’s all you need this May the 4th. It’s one that collectors are likely considering picking up during the event, anyway.
There will be hundreds of other LEGO Star Wars sets to get over that threshold, too, but 75442 The Mandalorian’s N-1 Starfighter comes with a unique gift-with-purchase during the event or while stocks last. You don’t need to worry about picking up the new LEGO Star Wars April 26, 2026, sets during May the 4th, specifically.
