LEGO Star Wars May the 4th 2023

When and what time?

The event will start on Monday, May 1 in the LEGO Shop and will run until Sunday, May 7, 2023. It’s recommended to act quickly since some gifts with purchase (GWP’s) may run out fast. Moreover, a new Ultimate Collector Series set, the LEGO Star Wars 75355 Luke Skywalker’s X-Wing Fighter (UCS), will be released, and it qualifies for all promotions due to its price.

Double VIP points on Star Wars sets

Let’s start with the promotions during the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th event in 2023. You’ll receive double VIP points on all Star Wars sets, which means you can use 10% of the purchase amount as a discount on your next order or choose from various gifts. A LEGO VIP account is free and can be created during checkout. After purchasing, you can redeem the VIP points for a discount code that can be used on all future purchases in the LEGO Shop. Double VIP points can be earned from May 1 to May 7, 2023.
