This GWP is available today. Is this a poly bag? Looks a little big to be a poly bag maybe? $40 buy in of select sets.

 

Polybag.

Cosmic Cardboard Adventures GWP
Availability: May 16 - 30 | With purchases over $160

Oh, and @Captain_Obviouswas correct about the big SW May 4th drop. If you redeem 500K VIP points you get one of those Beskar keychains, but made out of real Beskar

Did the Easter promos (box and poly) ended officially? Trying to see if it’s worth to shop locally

Sold my space hat for $50. Low place to be, selling clothes of your back 

[zaphoid]

I don't even see the space or Octan hats on the rewards page anymore.

Agreed, I grabbed a Space hat code yesterday when I read Phil B's post about the backorder.

[Lordoflego]

Got it yesterday with 3-1 creators :

I used it on an order but It just failed. Support told me it is no longer available and they were refunding my points and some but I have yet to see them pretty disappointed.

Saw some Harry Potter mbom in London but they wanted 200gbp purchase for it. Would have bought a burrow or Fawkes if the threshold was like a 100gbp...

why did your order fail ? the codes are supposed to last 60 days ? did they give you points because they couldn’t give you a new code for trying again ?

No clue, I used it it showed on my order then I submitted it and then it disappeared from order when I submitted. I had to wait several hours to even see my order where I saw it wasn't on the order. But they could see I submitted. I don't understand how they don't lock the number of redemption to inventory.

Thanks for getting in touch with us and for the code!

You successfully included the code in your order but we ran out of units for the Retro Space Logo Cap and for this reason it wasn't added to your purchase

Obviously I've added the 2400 points you'd used back to your account and bunch of extra points to apologize for what happened. I hope you can exchange them for something nice in our VIP Rewards Center

I apologize for the inconvenience caused. If you've questions or queries let us know and we'll be happy to help you.

I called before using it.  they said the cap was over sold, they don't have enough and they will not be producing more.  he gave me back points.  might buy the hats on ebay.  sounds like they are going to be rare to me : )

this is strange and somehow oddly exciting.  mini figures are back for may 4th.  not in the traditional poly bag either.

It will be nice when the folks making decisions about Star Wars content realize that there is a whole universe beyond Tatooine. Between the Book of Boring Fett and crap like this, Star Wars is getting pretty tiresome.

There is only so much you can do with the OG trilogy. I'd personally like to see the game of Dejarik (the chess game played on the MF) set with half real figures and the other half Augmented Reality and a line of blind bag mini-figures of characters you can build as part of the game. Outside of that I really dunno what hasn't been done or redone. It's a been a minute since we've seen Ewoks I guess.

I have a kitchen LEGO can copy as a diorama, if they need an idea.

Yay LEGO!

This was very disappointing. I just got a reply back from Lego and they refunded me my 4800 points plus 3250 points for my trouble.

Idk. I know I’m having trouble finding enough Star Wars sets that I want to buy to justify getting this. I used to like the idea of these vignettes but I guess this is just uninspired to me.

I suppose I could find enough and flip this to lower my costs.

I know right?  There are multiple desert / desert-like planets to be explored in Star Wars.  I am sure in season 3 Mando will travel to other desert planets, some might have a hill and a lot of boulders.  Or maybe even a small creek surrounded by barren hills..   Any place imaginable, as long as the shooting locations are within 2 hours drive from Hollywood..
