LEGO May the 4th 2022 deals explained
Trying to figure out how to make your money go further for May the 4th this year? Here’s everything you need to know about theLEGOStar Warsevent in 2022…

The LEGO Star Wars UCS Landspeeder once looked more like the 1999 version
At one stage in its development cycle,LEGOStar Wars75341 Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder took one of its design cues from the original 1999 set.

75341 Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder

This year’s first Ultimate Collector Series set – and May the 4th launch model – is 75341 Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder, the first-ever iteration of the Episode IV vehicle at this scale. It packs in 1,890 pieces, two minifigures – including the most detailed C-3PO to date, with a dual-moulded silver leg – and sits on the UCS series’ customary display stand with plaque.

75341 Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder is available from May 1 for VIP members only, ahead of a wider launch on May 4. If you want to be first in line, you’ll need to be signed up to the LEGO VIP program. The set rings in at £174.99 / $199.99 / €199.99, so buying it will net you all of this year’s freebies.

LEGO May the 4th free gifts

The LEGO Group is giving away three different bonuses across May the 4th, each one unlocked as the size of your order increases. 40531 Lars Family Homestead Kitchen is the most tantalising, given it includes our first Aunt Beru minifigure, and is therefore gated behind the highest qualifying threshold at £160 / $160 / €160.

If you’re spending at least £70 / $70 / €70, you’ll bag yourself 5007403 The Mandalorian Beskar Keyring, a gift that doesn’t immediately scream ‘LEGO’, but will at least look very cool on your keys. It’s probably not big enough to repurpose into armour, though. Finally, orders of at least £40 / $40 / €40 will come away with a copy of 30495 AT-ST, which shrinks this year’s 75322 Hoth AT-ST into a polybag.

Each of the free gifts available across May the 4th will stack, which means that spending £160 / $160 / €160 will net you all three. Here’s a summary of how to make the most of the gifts-with-purchase this year.

Spend on LEGO Star Wars sets (May 1-8)	Free gift(s) whilst stocks last		VIP Points earned (double points* May 1-8) UK	VIP Points earned (double points* May 1-8) US	VIP Points earned (double points* May 1-8) EU	VIP Points value*

You could always try spending them on winning 75271 Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder (the smaller one), 75257 Millennium Falcon and a copy of Anthony Daniels’ book ‘I Am C-3PO – The Inside Story’, all signed by the actor. The VIP sweepstake runs from May 1.

May the 4th history

While the original line appeared early on in the Star Wars franchise, the concept of a May the 4th event is relatively younger. May the Fourth has also been used as a playful slogan outside of the context of Star Wars celebrations, with concrete examples appearing as early as the mid-‘90s.

May the 4th events first appeared in 2011, including an organised celebration in Toronto’s Underground Cinema. The Walt Disney Company has also enthusiastically embraced the idea following its purchase of Lucasfilm in 2012, as visitors to Disney parks can enjoy special events like stormtrooper processions, exclusive merchandise and themed food and drink on Star Wars Day.

More recently, May the 4th has proven a popular release date for several pieces of Star Wars media. TV shows like The Clone Wars and The Bad Batch debuted chunks of content on this date, while The Rise of Skywalker debuted on Disney+ on May the 4th as well.

Elsewhere, May the 4th is often when Star Wars products are released or discounted. Owners of consoles like the PlayStation 5 can look forward to discounts on various Star Wars video games. More pertinently, the LEGO Group has also explored Star Wars Day events since 2011. New entries in the Ultimate Collector Series release on or around this time and unique promotional items can frequently be found on May the 4th too.

LEGO May the 4th sets

For Star Wars fans, May the 4th is a chance to check out the latest Ultimate Collector Series model. The first UCS model to release as part of a Star Wars Day promotion was 10225 R2-D2, in 2012. This large-scaled recreation of the astromech is designed for display, though still offers play functionality with extending tools and a turning head.

R2-D2 was joined a year later by 10240 Red Five X-wing Starfighter, a new large-scale version of the classic Rebel ship. This model offers unfolding wings, extensive detailing and naturally comes with a display stand. However, its canopy stickers are notoriously difficult to apply, and two copies of them are included with each set as a result.

Many other original trilogy icons have cropped up during this period. 75059 Sandcrawler appeared in 2014, offering a massive version of the Jawa vehicle. It comes with working steering, various cranes and ramps, and plenty of droids to play with. 75095 TIE Fighter appeared in 2015; while not quite as feature-filled, its massive wingspan allows it to make a statement on display.

Not every May the 4th release has been a success, though. 75098 Assault on Hoth appeared in 2016, recreating Echo Base from The Empire Strikes Back. While it focused on functions, it drew widespread criticism at the time for its scattershot design and egregious inaccuracies. An RRP of £229.99 / $249.99 / €249.99 didn’t help things, either.

Recent Star Wars Day releases have fared much better in comparison. 75308 R2-D2 offers a new take on a large-scale LEGO R2-D2, with slightly more accurate shaping than before. Like the original, it features several points of interactivity: a rotating head, extendable tools and a third foot that can be retracted.

This year’s 75341 Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder realises the iconic A New Hope vehicle at UCS scale for the first time, and also includes an incredibly detailed C-3PO minifigure.

LEGO May the 4th free gifts

LEGO Star Wars Day promotions have historically offered a mix of iconic scenes and obscure characters. The first LEGO May the 4th promotion arrived in the form of a ‘Shadow ARF Trooper’, which appears to be a unique variant of a Clone Trooper. Interestingly it appears to be the LEGO Group’s creation, bringing together elements of other Clone Troopers from this period.

Later May the 4th promotional sets and minifigures are a little more recognisable. 2012 brought us a minifigure of TC-14, the silver protocol droid from the beginning of The Phantom Menace. Like many other Star Wars Day promotional minifigures, they have never reappeared in LEGO form. Other May the 4th highlights of the early ‘10s include obscure minifigures such as Darth Revan (created for the Knights of the Old Republic video game) and Admiral Yularen, who appears briefly in A New Hope.

As we approach the ‘20s, the form factor of May the 4th promotions starts to change a little. 30611 R2-D2 appeared in 2017 and offers a mid-scaled LEGO version of the astromech droid. He would be joined by a similarly-scaled BB-8 (40288 BB-8) a year later. The most recent Star Wars Day promotions, meanwhile, have offered micro-scaled vignettes of key Star Wars scenes.

40333 Battle of Hoth – 20th Anniversary Edition released – in case you hadn’t guessed by the name – during the 20th anniversary of the LEGO Star Wars theme in 2019. The set includes a small AT-AT, a pair of Snowspeeders, the Echo Base shield generator and even a tiny Imperial Probe Droid. All of these are positioned on a stretch of snowy terrain, which – in an unusual move – features studs on its sides instead of on top.

Similar vignettes have appeared in the following years. 40407 Death Star II Battle (released in 2020) depicts a thrilling dogfight between an A-wing and a TIE interceptor, as well as chunks of scaffolding on the surface of the second Death Star.

40451 Tattooine Homestead offers a more peaceful scene. Released in 2021, this is one of the very rare occasions that Luke’s Tatooine home is depicted in LEGO form. A stretch of the Tatooine landscape can be found here, along with a Sandcrawler, Luke’s landspeeder and a pair of moisture vaporators. Characters like Luke, the Jawas and the droids are represented with simple studs.

For 2022, the LEGO Group has moved away from microscale dioramas to a minifigure-scale vignette in 40531 Lars Family Homestead Kitchen, which includes the first-ever Aunt Beru minifigure.

May the 4th LEGO deals

There’s usually plenty to look forward to when it comes to the LEGO Group and its Star Wars Day LEGO deals. The double LEGO VIP Points offer is always a huge hit, while LEGO also tends to offer free gift-with-purchase sets over this event. The recent microscale scenes have been extremely popular, while before that there were promotional minifigures to collect. From exclusive sets to free posters, we’ve also seen sweepstakes for prizes included in the annual May the 4th LEGO deals.

This year, we’re in store for three new gifts-with-purchase, a VIP Sweepstake, double VIP points on selected sets, and the launch of a brand new UCS set in 75341 Luke Skywalker’s Landspeeder.
