Force Friday (30th September) promotions

[pittpenguin123]

My guess is it will be the same as last year, a promotional brick (panel) with a Rogue One print.

As for Revan, I'm excited. I hope their supplies are not too limited.

Prbly will be a brick...

wonder if we will ever see those figs

would have been cool to get things from more then one place...

So how the heck does lego think they are going to give away these 2 polybags that been shows and never said how to get them -_-

[BioBrick]

Is Lego's upgrade for their shop website causing hanging issues with anyone else? I use Firefox as my browser.

Maybe they'll be announced the day of? Hopefully that means less crazy demand!

[Kodan Black]

I'll buy something if I can get Revan, otherwise won't. I'm hoping Revan isn't in super limited supply though, I am not going to go online at midnight just to get it. I'll hop on when I get up and try.

At what time is the promotion likely to start on Shop at home?

In North America, it's usually midnight Eastern Time. Not sure which timezone(s) are used for the European sites.

Yeah me too :(

Send them an e-mail, got the standard reply saying that they're still working on it. I remember that when I used to be 10 I got free goodies when I pointed these things out xD

Today in the mail, I received a mini catalog from TLG with ads for rogue one/Death star. It also had the double Vip points and revan minifig. Sorry Europe/Asia/Australia/South America/Antarctica/Africa, revan is exclusive to US/Canada :( I may be wrong but it only says US and Canadian prices in fine print.

Could you provide us with a pic? No minimum purchase?

Edit: You forgot Mexico and Central America.

I hope Revan doesn't sell out before I wake up. I'm not getting up to make an order at midnight.

[makoy]

Btw, if this is like the last "Force Friday" I hope that it is coordinated worldwide like the last time.

[RetroInferno]

Part of waitting for it at midnight is also double VIP, sets fly by extremly fast when these occurs, especially in regions where deals are extremly rare.

On the last may the 4th the Tydirium shuttle was reduced to 95 CAN ( usually 120 ) and double VIP were on. Waited for midnight to get one and checked back at 7am and they were gone.

Thanks for picking up on that. But there's no need to share a pic. It's the same exact thing as that leaked pic. The only thing is it has 2 pages for Death Star and 1 page for rogue one and it doesn't even have hover tank but all other 4. No minimum purchase.

I just got the catalog extension in the mail with the Rogue one sets and Death Star promo for the star wars force friday deals and dammit Lego, I hate you. I want that Darth Revan and will strive to get the Death Star and more than anything, I am soooo tempted on getting Krennic's Imperial Shuttle just because I love bad guys XDDD

Ah, the joy of being in the US...

*jealous*

[Only Sinner]

I might very well be in the minority here, but I would have preferred the five stormies offer. That's only because I already have two of those Revans. It's cool for other people who may have missed him the first time around, though. He's a fantastic figure. Also, sorry Antartica FOLs, No special LEGO promos for you!

[brobert]

So if I understand correctly, we are almost certain that the Revan minifig is for America only? 

It would be nice if LEGO actually promoted this promotion everywhere else too, I didn't find any official info in either of the EU stores. Not that I could order from anywhere else than my residing countries store, although I have a shipping address in Germany, they don't deliver to those...and ofc the swiss store is more expensive and they only provide free shipping from 100 CHF, whereas in Germany it's 55 EUR...besides, I can't even register for the VIP program, because the mighty new shop doesn't want to play nicely...

So even if there's a promotion I'll have to think twice about getting anything from the official store to avoid either spending over 100 (I only like the AT-ST at the moment), or if I don't I have to pay 15 CHF for shipping, which gets to me in 4-10 business days... yay lego!

All of a sudden I'm reminded of one of the many reasons I should consider myself lucky to have immigrated to the US!
 

Also, thanks for the pics. I guess I hadn't seen the leak, so I wasn't entirely sure that we were getting the exact same figure. Now I have every reason to stay up at midnight Force Friday!

I'm just glad the Revan promo isn't a hoax.  That's what I was thinking when I first saw it.  I think I'll go to my local LEGO store when they open next Friday morning and get 1 or 2 sets, probably the tank and the AT-ST or hopefully the TIE Striker.  My wife will probably want the Advent Calender.

I agree that it sounds too good to be true. Lego seldom re-releases promos like that. I missed out on it on 2014, when I didn't really hunt figures that weren't from the 6 original films, so I'm glad I'm getting a second chance.

Does anyone know where the 5 stormies rumour originates from and if it has been proven to be a hoax? (I really hope it's not fake.. )
