Im returning to lego collecting and just for clarification; does reaching the $165 threshold mean you get the droid carrier as a bonus or does it mean you “unlock” the ability to purchase it?
@@aspenEarthmover Yeah MrAdamc81 has it right. It’s a “gift with purchase” aka spoken simply as the acronym “GWP”. Whenever Lego does a GWP, not just Star Wars, once you meet or exceed the threshold dollar amount on whatever theme the GWP is running for, you will receive the GWP item free of any additional charge. Important to note that GWP specific sets will never be available for direct purchase from LEGO.
Yeah, I feel Lego should allow us to buy the gift with purchase sets after a month of its offer alone on its site. As there are no doubt people who want these sets, but don’t want to spend $200+ just to get the one set they want
if you get that, maybe ring up your lego store nearby to ask if you would get maybe 2, 3 or 4 of the driod carriers, since you spend so much over the treshold
I generally try to purchase sets on my backlog that either: 1. Are selling out soon 2. I feel are worth sale price So the sets I'll be purchasing to meet the $160 threshold are: 1. Commander Cody Helmet 2. Boarding the Tantive IV 3. Clone vs Battle Droid battle pack 4. Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighter Definitely will be purchasing all of them online, too, and will use some store credit!
10:13 If the UCS Tie is like last years UCS X wing, that will drop in price by 30% at some retailers by this time next year (several retailers I’ve seen have the x wing marked down by 25% some by 30%). So unless you really want the droid GWP you could easily wait to get the Tie!
Retailer discounts seem to be heavily store-to-store based. I keep seeing random steep discounts like described on reddit, only to find out no where near me has it or will honor it.
Would Lego technically make more money if the Trade Federation Troop Carrier was available to purchase individually? Prequel fans like myself would buy like 5 or more for army building
My favorite combos for $160: AT-TE: $140 Barc Speeder with Side Car: $30 $170 The Ghost: $130 after discount Any set over $30 Sith Infiltrator: $70 Phantom Menace Brickheadz: $55 Any $40 set Droideka: $65 R2-D2: $100 Mos Espa Podrace: $80 Sith Infiltrator: $70 501st/332nd Battle Pack: $20 Commander Cody Brickheadz: $10 Invisible Hand: $50 Barc Speeder: $30 One of each battlepack: $70 Literally anything else to push it over the threshold (Note that since most prices on Lego aren’t exact dollar amounts, eg battlepacks for $19.99 and not $20, that you won’t get the troop carrier if you are a few cents short. That’s why on some you have to spend an extra couple bucks)
I like Maul with no pupils. Besides, there's a bunch of 'pupilled' Darth Mauls around, just buy one of those if this one bothers you so much ('you' being people complaining about it.). Also, not buying any of the new sets now, I'd rather wait for a nice discount down the road. I'd rather buy something like a Ghost or the Gunship, or the Cantina.. 🤩 Maybe the brickheads too..
Excited for tonight! I’ll be ordering my sets on online at midnight. Definitely getting all the promos. I’ll probably get the New Republic E-Wing Vs Shin Hati’s Starfighter since that is 4X points. And then I’ll probably get either 2 Trooper and Battle Droid Battle Packs, or Barc Speeder Escape with 1 Battle Pack.
Good review and my only critique is to not add battle packs because you can get those cheaper elsewhere. Any resale value of the GWP goes out the window when you’re adding on the $5-7 in cost of the battle packs.
I will be ordering, if I am not already late in my country, both throne room diorama and sith infiltrator. It is a bit more over the treshold, but I really like master-pupil relations between those minifigures. And Anakin and Vader.
Thanks for posting this video it really help me decide what to get. Today is my brothers college graduation and I got him a millennium falcon Lego set.
I have not opened any free sets I've received from Lego in years. They're part of my retirement fund. I bough the R2-D2 V39 @ 299.99 CAD which gave me the Trade Federation Troop Carrier, the AAT V39, the Lego Star Wars Collect Global 1, and I spent the 1500 pts to get the Insiders-LSW Coin.
I only got the diorama to take the pod racers off, to display my set of cac bad batch minifigs, although not sure whether to have them fighting loads of droids or in a stand off with cad bane holding omega hostage 🤔
I went today and ended up getting: Sith Infiltrator, BARC speeder escape, Yoda’s Jedi Starfighter and The Invisible Hand… I was thinking of getting The Ghost instead but I really wanted the Sith Infiltrator and Invisible Hand and I wasn’t going to skint myself getting them all 😂
I was at my local Lego store and know management well . Sales are dismal so Far this year and really bad the past 2 months. I do t see massive sales . Most will go In a spend the minimum just to get the GWP but you won’t see customers going back to get multiple GWPs. Economy is on life support.
I’m going to try getting two troop carriers by purchasing the UCS Tie Interceptor myself and give my wife the cash to pick up the Droideka, Phantom Menace and Cody Brick Heads, and two 332nd battle packs.
I’ll get the ghost + either 2 battlepacks or 1 battlepack and 2 bricksheads. Republic gunship + either the phantom menace brickheads or spider tank and the UCS X-wing. I’ll wait on the tie interceptor. Everything above 160€, I’ll cover with insider points (if possible) since we got vouchers in Europe and perhaps double VIP points, since that’s what it says on the website if sets apply.
Honestly I would buy anything that’s just coming out tomorrow you will Have years to do so and at a cheaper price. Strictly sales and retiring sets only. That’s the way to do it
Think I'm going to go hallway, Infiltrator and Phantom Menace Brickheadz for the threshold. No point getting battle packs at the Lego store, considering they all end up at least 25% discount within months
My prom is May fourth, they better play the Star Wars theme for us at some point. My friends said we can have a lightsaber fight after the party though 😂
My combo is(Europe): Coruscant Guard Gunship 119,99 € Clone Trooper & Battle Droid Battle Pack 29,99 € 501st Clone Troopers Battle Pack 19,99 € 332nd Ahsoka's Clone Trooper Battle Pack 20,99 € Obi-Wan Kenobi’s Jedi Starfighter 34,99 € Total: 225,95 € I have taken advantage of the promotion to buy several sets that I have wanted to buy for a long time.
It's the AT-AT for me. Then I might circle back around and pick up the Coruscant Guard Gunship and a Clone vs Battle Droid battle pack to get another Battle Droid Troop Carrier, depending how I'm feeling after dropping the 900 something dollars (with tax) on the AT-AT
Just put in my order, I went with the Droideka, Sith Infiltrator & Podrace Diorama! The diorama’s a little overpriced but it looks great and I love the diorama collection. Great year to be a Phantom Menace fan 😁
For some reason right after the launch of may the 4, the promo code for the CG Gunship did not work. But this morning it did work and a got 60 euros discount, instead of 30 euro's (geuss something went wrong with the Lego site). I bought three of them with three different accounts :). I saved 180 euro's, I think the force is with me or something.
Im getting: Sith infiltrator (£60) Invisible hand (£47) Cody brickheadz(£10) Barc speeder escape(£25) And just to get over the £145 threshold im getting the luke skywalker keychain which is £5 Total: £147
I don't get what the hype around this event is, the prices on the lego store are original price which is already about 25% higher than what you would find in retail, so you're not actually buying it for less even with the quadruple points. The troop carrier and polybag add a bit of value if you're patient enough to wait years to resell a single small set, so at the end of the day you're maybe making a bit of money back making the bottom line slightly better than if you just went to your local store and bought it off the shelf.
Bought the tie interceptor. Don’t need the three gifts since they will be doubles. On average what would the estimate be for the three gifts to sell after?
Sith infiltrator, invisible hand, and 2 clones vs droids battle pack myself, think I’ll hit 160 will throw in the commander Cody brickhead to get it if not
Not saying this to troll but M&Rs video on this topic was way better done, anybody can figure out what combination of sets they want to buy, he actually went in detail about exactly which sets will be on sale and by how much, very helpful
I am getting the ucs xwing for the 4x vip points, and I don't have that set yet. The AT-AT is the best 4x points deal but I already have that set and the cantina.
Never got a ucs set, but it tie interceptor seems really nice, I’ve always wanted to get a may 4th promo, but I know I won’t be able to, as their is a lot going along in my life. I don’t wanna ask my parents for money we don’t have to spare, as we just had a new baby, which I love. Hope you have a great may the 4th…
Does anyone know the genuine vip point multipliers yet??!! I’m seeing conflicting info all over… Reddit says 4x for the atat, cantina etc (few more obv)c this guy says 5x, the Lego site doesn’t have any info at all..
I’m going to be bankrupt
no
You mean broke?
Relatable, on top of these I’m also buying gru’s house
This is the way.
😅😅😅 @@Simebag
I got a bad feeling in the pit of me wallet.
Aren’t thou feeling it now Mr. Krabs?
My college graduation is on May 4th, gonna be a fun weekend
Congrats 🎉 🥳
Congratulations 🎉🎉🎓
You're graduating from the Jedi Temple? Sweet dude!
@@TheWingedHussar_ 🤓
May the force be with you
My combo to reach the $165 threshold-
Tantive IV hallway $55
Invisible Hand $50
Droideka $65
$170 ✅
That was my first option too, imo 3 of the most solid sets so far this year.
Im returning to lego collecting and just for clarification; does reaching the $165 threshold mean you get the droid carrier as a bonus or does it mean you “unlock” the ability to purchase it?
@@aspenEarthmoveryou get it as a bonus

Yeah, I feel Lego should allow us to buy the gift with purchase sets after a month of its offer alone on its site. As there are no doubt people who want these sets, but don’t want to spend $200+ just to get the one set they want
Definitely picking up the AT-AT after waiting for so long
Was thinking the same
I am too. I’m scared other people will do the same so I hope they’re not sold out in store
If you're in Europe, there's a 170€ discount on the UCS AT-AT during May 4th. Hope you are cus this is looking juicy
if you get that, maybe ring up your lego store nearby to ask if you would get maybe 2, 3 or 4 of the driod carriers, since you spend so much over the treshold
I got one for 599€. That’s still quite the sum, but at 8 cents per piece and 10kg of lego you go with it.
I generally try to purchase sets on my backlog that either:
1. Are selling out soon
2. I feel are worth sale price
So the sets I'll be purchasing to meet the $160 threshold are:
1. Commander Cody Helmet
2. Boarding the Tantive IV
3. Clone vs Battle Droid battle pack
4. Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighter
Definitely will be purchasing all of them online, too, and will use some store credit!
How have they not done another bad batch set yet ??? They’ve done 2 and one wasn’t needed and overpriced

As if starting at 1 dollar when auctioning off a 2000,- minifig means anything, it's an auction, the price will go up, up and up.
I mean, you gotta start somewhere.
Can't wait for that sith infiltrator and barc speeder
My dog wants the bark speeder. ;)
😂😂😂😂@@moonshoes11
I’m suprised by the amount of these new sets I’ve seen at Walmarts and targets
My combo to get the droid carrier
30$ Barc speeder escape
65$ Buildable Droideka
70$ Sith infiltrator
165$ total
I got one early from an online seller for $20 😅 good luck
midnight time is for eastern standard people we over here in the central US the promo starts at 11PM April 30.
My favorite combos for $160:
AT-TE: $140
Barc Speeder with Side Car: $30
$170
The Ghost: $130 after discount
Any set over $30
Sith Infiltrator: $70
Phantom Menace Brickheadz: $55
Any $40 set
Droideka: $65
R2-D2: $100
Mos Espa Podrace: $80
Sith Infiltrator: $70
501st/332nd Battle Pack: $20
Commander Cody Brickheadz: $10
Invisible Hand: $50
Barc Speeder: $30
One of each battlepack: $70
Literally anything else to push it over the threshold
(Note that since most prices on Lego aren’t exact dollar amounts, eg battlepacks for $19.99 and not $20, that you won’t get the troop carrier if you are a few cents short. That’s why on some you have to spend an extra couple bucks)
I like Maul with no pupils. Besides, there's a bunch of 'pupilled' Darth Mauls around, just buy one of those if this one bothers you so much ('you' being people complaining about it.).
Also, not buying any of the new sets now, I'd rather wait for a nice discount down the road. I'd rather buy something like a Ghost or the Gunship, or the Cantina.. 🤩 Maybe the brickheads too..
I'm buying something like the CG gunship that will be 20% discounted in Europe, Grogu's escape and Din Djarin microfighter just to reach 160 euro
I'm not sure if the discount code removes money from the gwp limit
@@kiryowtk2869OOOH! GOOD POINT!

And then I’ll probably get either 2 Trooper and Battle Droid Battle Packs, or Barc Speeder Escape with 1 Battle Pack.
Got that and the Sith Infiltrator to hit the $160.00 (plus the book).
Probably gonna get the invisible hand when it goes down to $40 not usually a fan of the mini models but this one is beautiful
It's on sale at target for $40! Not sure if you are USA based or not
@@rexeater14 I am in the U.S. , thank you for the information appreciate that🤝👍 a surprise to be sure but a welcome one.
Good review and my only critique is to not add battle packs because you can get those cheaper elsewhere. Any resale value of the GWP goes out the window when you’re adding on the $5-7 in cost of the battle packs.
May 4 is my birthday, it’s always fun getting deals on Lego Star Wars and getting to watch new Star Wars content
I haven’t bought Lego since 2018 and I kinda want to get the Venator or the Razor crest but I don’t know which one to get.
Razor Crest, on sale and will likely be discontinued sooner.
Make sure u get any multiple orders to a different address with a different account because they will cancel your order if u don’t it happen to me
Good. People shouldnt abuse GWP
the ghost and t6 shuttle. I teached maths so many hours to fullfill this target
Thinking about getting the throne room diorama set instead of the sith infiltrator, obi-wan’s star fighter, and boarding the tantive IV
I will be ordering, if I am not already late in my country, both throne room diorama and sith infiltrator. It is a bit more over the treshold, but I really like master-pupil relations between those minifigures. And Anakin and Vader.
If you grab the coupon for Ghost you can add a clone trooper battle driod and make it bak up over the 160. The battle pack is basically free
Picked up the Cantina🌟 Waiting for Lego to fix Tie plate back to matte💫
i'm about to buy gunship with the -20% sale, grogu's escape, and some keychain for my dad and i will be just above the threshhold
People are sleeping on 4x vip gunship!!!
Turns out the ghost would sell out everywhere within an hour
Thanks for posting this video it really help me decide what to get. Today is my brothers college graduation and I got him a millennium falcon Lego set.
Take a shot every time he says "Troop carrier".
8:00
They could stop you because you have to give them your insiders number so you get your points....and that could be tied to your personal info...
Might be worth not getting the points then. I can’t believe they have a one item per household limit. This is the first I’ve heard of it
Someone at my local Kohl’s put a droideka out on shelves early so now I’ve got one! I highly recommend this one!
I really need the Tie Interceptor. Got my wife the black and blue play set many many years ago. The new one looks amazing.
can you move the stream earlier? it would be too late to stream for me in Italy, I want to buy some things
quindi esistono italiani appassionati di lego star wars
Ma cosa!
Dobbiamo parlare di lego dove puoi?
UCS Razor Crest on sale at both Amazon and Best Buy (Best Buy also has a membership discount).
I have not opened any free sets I've received from Lego in years. They're part of my retirement fund. I bough the R2-D2 V39 @ 299.99 CAD which gave me the Trade Federation Troop Carrier, the AAT V39, the Lego Star Wars Collect Global 1, and I spent the 1500 pts to get the Insiders-LSW Coin.
I feel like the Mos Espa podrace looks like not that much bigger than the 2021 May 4th promo
Love the new tie interceptor but i think im leaning more towards droideka and luke skywalker landspeeder combo
I only got the diorama to take the pod racers off, to display my set of cac bad batch minifigs, although not sure whether to have them fighting loads of droids or in a stand off with cad bane holding omega hostage 🤔
I went today and ended up getting: Sith Infiltrator, BARC speeder escape, Yoda’s Jedi Starfighter and The Invisible Hand… I was thinking of getting The Ghost instead but I really wanted the Sith Infiltrator and Invisible Hand and I wasn’t going to skint myself getting them all 😂
I was able to purchase my order on the Lego web site with no problem. I picked up the R2-D2 and Sith Infiltrator.
5:52 where's the lamp?
“I love lamp” - Brick Tamland
I'm getting the Sith Infiltrator, Droideka and BARC Speeder Escape as soon as my LEGO store opens in the morning.
what i'm thinking is sith infiltrator, boarding the tantive iv and the invisible hand
I got the small 25th Falcon and the UCS interceptor! I also got the special coin on the side with point :)
I was at my local Lego store and know management well . Sales are dismal so
Far this year and really bad the past 2 months. I do t see massive sales . Most will go
In a spend the minimum just to get the GWP but you won’t see customers going back to get multiple GWPs. Economy is on life support.
Thanks for all the reviews David.
I think i'm going with the invisible hand, the sith infiltrator and the Boarding the Tantive IV.
Just bought the Lego cantina and got the troop transport with it. Had to buy it before it retires
I’m going to try getting two troop carriers by purchasing the UCS Tie Interceptor myself and give my wife the cash to pick up the Droideka, Phantom Menace and Cody Brick Heads, and two 332nd battle packs.
In Europe the Ghost is getting a discount, so I'm getting that and add a battlepack to reach the 160 euro threshold.
I’ll get the ghost + either 2 battlepacks or 1 battlepack and 2 bricksheads. Republic gunship + either the phantom menace brickheads or spider tank and the UCS X-wing. I’ll wait on the tie interceptor. Everything above 160€, I’ll cover with insider points (if possible) since we got vouchers in Europe and perhaps double VIP points, since that’s what it says on the website if sets apply.

I got 2 purchases.
In store: The Ghost, Clone Battle Pack and Cody (169)
Online: Gunship, Barc Speeder (169)
Im planning to snag the UCS X-Wing for the 4X VIP points and to beat the threshold for the troop carrier.
Lamp post of Coruscant Speeder set where?!?!
My prom is May fourth, they better play the Star Wars theme for us at some point. My friends said we can have a lightsaber fight after the party though 😂

501st Clone Troopers Battle Pack 19,99 €
332nd Ahsoka's Clone Trooper Battle Pack 20,99 €
Obi-Wan Kenobi’s Jedi Starfighter 34,99 €
Total: 225,95 €
I have taken advantage of the promotion to buy several sets that I have wanted to buy for a long time.
7:30 so we need different adress, or different account if we want to spend online only?
Also the Ghost and phantom 2 are gonna be on sale for €130 so that's a great option
Interesting video, can't decide what to do 🙈
I went with the Droideka, Podrace, and a 501st battle pack
If there was a padme in the sith infiltrator that would really push me to get it, but at the moment it's jut not enough to justify.
Walmart near me had all the sets early and it took everything in me not to buy them cause I need that GWP😂
It's the AT-AT for me. Then I might circle back around and pick up the Coruscant Guard Gunship and a Clone vs Battle Droid battle pack to get another Battle Droid Troop Carrier, depending how I'm feeling after dropping the 900 something dollars (with tax) on the AT-AT
So wish I could afford spending money for that droidcarrier but I'm only sixteen gonna have to settle for a droideka.
How you did not recommend The Ghost and Phantom 2, Ashoka's T-6 Shuttle and the Yavin IV Rebel Base is crazy!!!
Just put in my order, I went with the Droideka, Sith Infiltrator & Podrace Diorama! The diorama’s a little overpriced but it looks great and I love the diorama collection. Great year to be a Phantom Menace fan 😁
I will pre-order The Force of Creativity book!
The Force of Creativity doesn't qualify for the GWPs, unfortunately.
I am getting that one minus the infiltrator. 3:57
For lego moc can you do umbara and mount tantiss please I'd love to see those in lego
I'm still saving up for the UCS destroyer so imma have to miss out on the troop carrier unfortunately
I’m getting the sith infiltrator the droideka the 501st battle pack and the ahsoka clone balttle pack which amounts to £156
Just got the cantina 🎉 was going to wait till tomorrow but I figured it would be sold out lol😂
Do you know if I do 2 orders with my account at 2 delivery at two different house they cancel the second order ?
i am purchasing the most eisley cantina because i missed out many times and its retiring this year

I got the infiltrator bark speeder and the droidika and that was enough to get all three promos
I got the yavin base, I love the mini figs with the medals! Website was crazy slow!
Video rolled like a full on advert 😂
My Combo:
Coruscant Guard Gunship and Commander Cody Brickheadz
While In American prices this doesnt work in my country it does.
Can I make a purchase that goes to my address and then make one that goes to my friends address to get more than one troop carrier?
Great vid Dave! Insight and recommendations always A+!

I am getting the ucs xwing for the 4x vip points, and I don't have that set yet. The AT-AT is the best 4x points deal but I already have that set and the cantina.
4:20 is what I’ve planned on buying, although I’m going to get a Darth Vader keychain instead of the Cody Brickheadz.
Do u have to buy Star Wars themed Lego to get the GWP?
Yes
Yes
getting the gunship with the €30 off joined with the tantive hallway. perfect €175
Never got a ucs set, but it tie interceptor seems really nice, I’ve always wanted to get a may 4th promo, but I know I won’t be able to, as their is a lot going along in my life. I don’t wanna ask my parents for money we don’t have to spare, as we just had a new baby, which I love. Hope you have a great may the 4th…
