I haven't seen any May 4th news yet. Beyond the rumored DS GWP.

LifeBricks just threw up some insta stories regarding price thresholds claiming to have seen the $85 promo

I'm expecting any day tbh, Lego's site already features the May 4 tab

Just picked up the non-UCS AT-AT, it turns out it's an Amazon exclusive here in the UK, I hadn't realised that. ( Well all exclusives like that are also available at the Lego shop at least in my experience) But anyway it seems like the Amazon exclusives like that ( and Vader's castle and the non-UCS Razor Crest) don't really get good discounts.

Ack if you'd waited until May you might get extra VIP points on that at the lego store. It could be 5x vip points (basically 25% back) if Lego happens to pick that as one of the sets for it. Not a discount per se but it's some money back to spend on more lego later.

That's what i'm waiting for before buying one. Hoping they have 2x vip points atleast on it and the hoth trooper battlepack.

He also claimed it was a non-brick built top 5 GWP of all time. Which is interesting.

Ah, poodoo, I was worried it was gonna retire soon. I was hoping they'd have it at celebration but I was only there for the last day and the only Lego set they had left in the Lego shop stand was the brickheadz. I might just wait for may 4th 2024 for whichever of the new ones is the Amazon (and Lego shop) exclusive this time. Cause if it's the ghost or the gunship they are both ones I want.

Non brick built and not a figure. Then what it can be? Printed piece ? Sticker?

You have my attention. Though I have my doubts about his channel but that is just my opinion and not going to get into it here.

some sort of non-lego nik-nak I imagine, like last year's beskar ingot key ring.

He didn't say it wasn't a figure.

The $150 GWP will be a brickbuilt death star
The $85 GWP is currently unknown but we know it's not something brick built.
The $35 GWP will be an Xwing polybag.

This all according to Lifebricks' instagram.

He's gonna get everyone excited thinking it's a Gar Saxon figure he's such a troll sometimes.

No figure  

[Legofan2001]

Is it possible the figure he is hinting towards is Moff Gideon?

Spoiler

(He supposedly will wear a horned mando helmet these final 2 episodes)

Do we have any details on the Yoda’s starfighter set? 

Minifigs are Yoda and Artoo.

If the promo actually is a Minifig, Moff would be an absurd and unprecedented choice; he is the main villain of The Mandalorian, and he can easily be included in an actual set. If we are getting a horned Mando, a more likely option is the Super Commando Captain.

Do we trust him? He was the one pushing the “leak” of Rex and Luminara in the ISP. 😕
 

Re: Advent calendar - Yes!! Hopefully Cad Bane and Todo will appear in a more reasonably-priced set soon, as well. The inclusion of a 212th Trooper should bring down the US prices for him somewhat, and it opens up the possibility of getting a Shock Trooper in the 2024 calendar!

Oh my gosh- I know the ISP is the swamp speeder, but whenever I read "ISP", my brain tries to autofill the acronym and gives me "Imperial... uh... Swamp Peeder". INFANTRY SUPPORT PLATFORM. GET WITH IT, BRAIN.

It does not help that 'ISP' and 'ISB' also rhyme!

TBH I don't trust anything Lfebricks is saying cause he's missed so many times like with Rex in the Swamp or the Jabba's palace earlier this year. Unless promobricks, falcon, or someone like that is posting (ie that one Redditor who had proof) I'd say take it with a large grain of salt. 

Also on the GWP If it was a fig I don't see why Moff would be chosen. He should be made widely available in a set as he will be in the Mando finale and is the main villain. IMO GWP figs should be things like Aunt Beru where they might not sell super well as a whole set but work well as a special thing for May 4th and hardcore LEGO SW fans. 

With that said I am formally requesting the GWP be a Babu Frick, Dexter, or Nien Numb as I feel I am personally owed one upon rewatching the entire saga.

Babu Frik and Nien Nunb can be included included in regular sets (a new A-wing or B-wing for the latter).
