US LEGO brand store calendar for May

 

  • US LEGO brand store calendar for May

    The May calendar is now out, and thanks to toomuchdew for uploading it to his flickr stream again. The big news this month is the 'exclusive limited edition' Star Wars offer during the first week of May. Last year it was a poster. I wonder what it'll be this year?

The Master Builder Bar seems cool, but if I ever try it in my local LEGO store, I'd probably wear rubber gloves to keep my hands clean...and I recommend that everyone else do so too.

I'm also looking forward to getting the latest LEGO Club magazine on May 6...perhaps it will also arrive in my mailbox on that date.

The Club meeting also sounds interesting, but I think I'd rather just build a droid by myself in MLCAD or LDD and avoid all those kids.

Maybe the white Boba Fett?
Whatever the exclusive is, I'm sure it will be something good.

The Master Builder Bar does sound like a fun thing to add to any store and I agree with Toa Of Justice(original OP)...just bring some Purell and you'll be fine.
Any word on the new stores opening up in New York City? Dates, what will be the giant build(R2D2, or Buzz Lightyear?), etc.?

I wonder if the Bar will add an even greater experience, like maybe we can upload creations and get it at the store without paying shipping.

I want that orange LEGO Universe minifig sooo much! sadly, I don't think I'll be able to get it, being a beta tester for the game... if anyone gets an extra minifig, send it to me!! :P
p.s. I wonder what the star wars exclusive is?

@ alpha 40 the white boba fett was an exclusive to the toyfair so i doubt it.
maybe a minifig or another poster maybe or even a comic book?

ceroknight: there was only 150 at the Toyfair and there is supposed to be a total of 10,000 in North America. They might be available at Celebration V or SDCC, but it could very likely be here too.

The "white Boba Fett" is actually a Mandalorian.

What is the "Master Builder's Bar" though?

maybe, it's this poster?:

Boba Fett is a mandalorian, well a clone. It was made to look like a prototype of him. The master builder bar is basically a computer with LDD built in.

I wonder what the Stars Wars exclusive will be. It would be cool if it was an exclusive minifig rather than a poster.

Posted by ceroknight in Canada, 15 Apr 2010 19:24

interesting i thought the master builder's bar was like a place with all sorts of lego pieces that you can choose from (thats why toa of justice said he will use rubber gloves) and i thought clones were replicas of jango fett and the mandolians were a tribe not clones......
if the exclusive was a chrome r2 d2 that would be awesome

What exclusive minifigure are you guys talking about?

Posted by Brickmatic in United States, 15 Apr 2010 23:59

@legostarwarsdude We're speculating that the special offer referenced in the store calendar might be an exclusive minifig. Also, someone thought the special offer might be a white Boba Fett, like the actual exclusive minifig given out at the toy fair. The special offer might not be a minifig at all. It could be something else, like a poster.

ceroknight: sorry, I was using an iPhone and was getting kind of lazy. I meant Boba was a clone of a Mandalorian(Jango Fett).

I went to the Lego Store in Natick, MA and on top of getting losts of lego , I noticed that they already had the Master Builder Bar!

I will upload the photo to my Flickr soon!

sweet no problem so is a master builder bar a computer with LDD?

Posted by alpha 40 in United States, 17 Apr 2010 08:29

sorry, I still haven't uploaded it because of some technical difficulties. I was in a hurry and did not pay much attention, but it did have legos website, I am not sure, but maybe LDD and also instructions online, that people would build with PAB.
