Also, Razor Crest refers to the class of the ship right? So it’s very plausible he gets a new one after a brief stint with the N1 for plot reasons (“get me another Razor Crest”). And a $530 Razor Crest doesn’t sound so bad if it’s a full interior one. At 5000 pieces it could be highly detailed with greebling both on the inside and outside, including living quarters, carbon freezing room, hallways, etc. I wouldn’t mind shelling out $530 for that to be honest.

The limited 1/5000 UCS Landspeeder print and the ordinary print are both available on the Dutch rewards center now (so a brief heads up to all Dutchies here).

I have to say the UCS Landspeeder is growing on me the more I watch reviews of it. It surely doesn’t lend itself perfectly for the UCS slot, but the overall design of the model is pretty much flawless I’d say. And given the often heard complaint that a lot of Star Wars vehicles are just piles of grey bricks, I absolutely love all the nougat pieces

I’ll still get the UCS Landspeeder, but it’s a bummer it’s excluded. Not a dealbreaker for me, but it would have softened the deal a bit.

Double points will only be applicable to the following sets according to the Dutch Lego site: “De aanbieding van dubbele VIP-punten geldt uitsluitend voor geselecteerde LEGO® Star Wars™ sets (75268, 75297, 40557, 40558, 75266, 75295, 75298, 75307, 75320, 75321, 75269, 75270, 75271, 75281, 75283, 75299, 75310, 75342, 40391, 40431, 75249, 75254, 75300, 75311, 75319, 75324, 75251, 75257, 75272, 75284, 75286, 75291, 75293, 75301, 75302, 75312, 75314, 75316, 40539, 75255, 75278, 75288, 75292, 75315, 75317, 75318).”

Yeah perhaps a stupid question, but I assume the UCS landspeeder will drop on the 1st of May, right?

Don’t alert them to it! I think it looks pretty cool though, and perhaps we’ll also get the Bantha print on the blue container here?

Yeah true, I am also hoping for a minifig or something. Perhaps this will be some kind of gift you can exchange VIP points for. Anyway, we’ll probably hear soon enough. I do have to admit it looks pretty cool; can I share the photos here or would that go against the rules?

Someone in one of the Facebook groups has shared a photo of a Lego VIP Beskar ingot keychain that is for sale at a Belgian market place platform. It seems to be produced by RDP, which is a company that creates promotional goods and has worked with Lego before (a.o. on the Han Solo VIP keychain). It looks pretty cool and could potentially be the GWP for May the Fourth. As of yet, it’s not something anyone recognizes and I can’t find anything similar. It also has a production stamp referring to 3-22 (so March 2022). Thought I’d give you guys a heads up!

With the latest Harry Potter wave they kept posting memes and pictures that alluded to a remake of the Shrieking Shack with Sirius Black and Lupin, which was highly desired by fans of the theme. They did put in some effort to mess around with us

Haha this is a coincidence, I just remember that scene because I always thought it was pretty freaky for him to do that (as in; why on earth would he stick out his tongue during a spell?). I’m definitely not willing to sacrifice my eyes to some of that questionable fanart haha!

I’d say an even more iconic scene where he actually sticks out his tongue is during the ministry battle with Dumbledore, when he creates this dragon of fire that shoots towards Dumbledore. So perhaps an extension of the new ministry set or something?

Yes that’s true, it will probably remain a Schrödingers Luke till May arrives :’) Though if true, the licensing thing could be a real obstacle.

A reply from Lego CS that was posted on a Dutch FB page said this regarding the Blue Milk Luke: ”Unfortunately we are not able to send out the minifigure as we don’t have any outside of the physical game packaging as they were packaged together and due to the licensing agreement for the game. The only way to acquire the minifigure would be to purchase the physical copy of the game when it comes back into stock at a local retailer or through LEGO.com.” So I guess that would strongly contradict it also being overproduced and a May the Fourth promo?

Legohio just confirmed on IG that all his ‘leaks’ were fakes, just for some laughs. This means we can finally bury the ‘force ghost shell’ and Minidoll Taun We :)

Hi! Longtime lurker (and always enjoying this topic), and wanted to chime in on the D2C. I guess I’m mostly on board with the DA expansion (Gringotts etc.). Though not hard evidence, I thought it was an interesting coincidence we got a new and unique Leaky Cauldron sign in the AC, as well as the Gringotts vault etc. One thing I could imagine driving a higher price point than the 2020 DA is the inclusion of LOTS of chrome gold coins to fill up the vault(s). Also, a big fig dragon comparable to Smaug would warrant a sweet premium. Throw in the Leaky Cauldron and a modular design Knockturn Alley extension and I can see them charge ~470.
