Is this North America, Europe, or Worldwide?
We need a Malak, not Revan again.
Hmmm... really interesting that they would bring Darth Revan back from the dead (kinda like Maul...). Nice to see it will be available again for those who missed it the first time though. Wonder what will happen to Revan's aftermarket price now?
They're just doing what they did in 2015 with the Hoth Han Solo. Personally I'm glad because I missed him the first time!
You can enter the Space Slug contest without a purchase too.
OH MY GOSH! REVAN is back! :) I missed him the first time so I will gladly save up a bit of cash to get him this time around! So excited!
I'm glad to have another chance to get Revan, I regret missing it the first time. But I'm not going to have $200 worth of sets I want to buy on September 30th (because no chance in hell I'm paying for shipping), so I guess I'm missing it again :(
Eh, what are the chances the promotion will even be available in Australia in the first place anyway
I hope that this means that the prices of Darth Revan will go doooown...
Ooo that's tempting. Will probably have to stop in and grab a little something to get that Revan figure.
This just isn't my year. So many repeats of things I already have. Oh well, more money to not have to spend I suppose.
YES!!!! This is exactly what I wanted!!! I've really wanted that Revan minifig for a long time! So I'll get the new Hovertank, with free shipping, and a Darth Revan! That's awesome!!!
Further evidence that many of the Lego Star Wars designers have mysteriously disappeared!
Oh yes!!! I'm gonna stay up at midnight to buy something to get Revan, this is a big surprise I can't wait Revan forever!
I sure hope they have alot of Revan's in stock!
^^Me too!^^
I had to google who Revan is. Still not much wiser! :-)
I'll use it as an excuse to buy more Lego anyway.
Isn't it strange that they're giving us another chance to get Revan? I thought the EU or Legends or whatever it's called was no longer canon and isn't that just where Revan comes from? That would make it like they're releasing a fanfic character at this point. Not really sure on my own info here though. I haven't watched/read much Star Wars stuff other than the movies.
Can someone please confirm wether this promo is global or just for North America?
Hothbricks is reporting a rumour that the force Friday deal for France will not be Revan but FIVE first order stormtroopers! http://www.hothbricks.com/2016/09/30602-first-order-stormtrooper-de-retour-force-friday/
Ps. I used the £10 discount from new website get get some advent calendars and got the Ninjago polybag as expected. However, I also got the Spider-Man vs a little robot polybag too (nice silver dishes!). Anyone else get similar.
Yes, the Revan figure polybag is currently £39.99 on Amazon UK, watch that price fall as well as plummet!!!
^I did! Spiderman was a pleasant surprise, although i wished for the something star wars related (also ordered the advent calendars). Anyway nice thing to get two polys. Damn i got excited for Revan since i missed him last time....
@Aragosta Revan wasn't canon the first time they released him either. The EU was renamed to Legends and made definitively non-canon in April 2014, and Lego Revan was released May 3rd 2014. Of course, it was no doubt in production before the EU was ditched. The bigger oddity is Anakin's Azure Angel II Lego released last year.
@Richpepperell & Kris_PL
I also recieved that Spiderman next to the Ninjago thingie. Makes it a pretty good deal, had free shipping, €10 discount with the code, spend some VIP points and so 2 extra polybags :)
Any Purchase, a 10 dollar microfighter to get a free Darth Revan. Yes please. I wonder if they updated him a little. The space slug is neat but not really worth the money. I wonder if Revan is similiar to a Rebels Inquisitor in Season 3.....
PLEASE BE AVAILABLE IN EUROPE
*sorry, I'm freaking out a little. missed him last time and was really bummed.
Oh, and for @Aragosta: No, even after the canon-wipe, SWEU/Legends is licensed material and not fanfic. The rights to the material belonged (and still do) to Lucasfilm. They can draw ideas etc. from it.
I was not an AFOL the first time Revan came out and I'm interested in a lot of sets, so this will work out great
This is the US deal. I posted it on the AFOLs of Facebook group yesterday evening. It's the same Revan as before, 5002123.
Edit: I think Revan will still be rare enough that this new batch won't have much price effect; maybe it drops a few bucks.
Keen for Revan, hopefully applicable in the UK and I will pick up the AT-ST
Hmm... wonder if buying the Star Wars advent calendar would count. I would totally buy the Death Star to MOC it, but that price point! Sheesh LEGO! You have to pay an extra $100 for 200 pieces?! I guess I'll start saving:(
Regan is currently non-canon, but he's a fan favorite and there were plans to incorporate him into an episode of Clone Wars. Bits of the KOTOR game Were canonically acknowledged on the season 2 finale of Rebels.
win win! ive got my revan, but happy those that missed it can get one again without padding evil reseller paypal accounts
What?! Now I have to decide whether to buy the Rogue One sets on September 30th or October 1st. One gets me Darth Revan, one gets me a free advent calendar. I worry about waiting until the 1st, since LEGO has shown in the past to not always have a good stock in hand upon initial release of popular sets.
I think I'll get 2 AT-STs and maybe... the Death Star. I don't think there will be a better way to get the Death Star unless they offer triple points at some point.
Revan.... Again..... Glad to know I payed 75$ to get him before.................
I am interested in Escape the Slug set but I won't be buying the Death Star to own a chance to own it. I already have one Darth Revan but another won't hurt (this may set a precedent where previous Lego offers return making me hopeful that Martian Manhunter returns).
Zero motivation for the promo
^why its reven hes awesome comes out to a good promo
I was planning to buy the SW advent calendar a little later. Looks like I'll buy it for the Revan promo. Sure, he's a Legends character, but it would be great to have him.
Will this be available in the Netherlands??
I love this. Chances to get things that are simply too overpriced on the secondary market.
My Lego game plan, U-wing at Lego store on the 30th and Krennic's shuttle and advent calendar on October 1st. Revan and advent calendar = win win
Still wishing LEGO would make a Ponda Baba polybag (or Ponda Baba minifig for that matter), but another chance for some people to get Revan is nice, considering how much he goes for these days.
Yes Now I Can Get Darth Revan :)
@legomakerhomeboy - half the fun for me is working out the plan that gets you maximum bricks-for-your-bucks!
They should do a rebels stormtrooper with a phoenix logo defacing the helmet
@Richpepperell Lol same here!
I just had a thought. I'm sure it's just speculation, but what if this is an indicator that Revan is canon again?
I wonder if this means Revan is cannon. Really surprised they brought him back.
Revan wasn't canon the first time LEGO released him..... So, no, he's still not canon (at least, not atm).
They still have the old Revan's at my local Lego store. But he's still better than that generic Stormtrooper the last time we had a Star Wars minifig promotion.
Since the articulate is kinda about the Death Star, Lego learn from your mistakes and let Cloud City make everyone forget about 2016 Lego Star Wars.
Same goes for the UCS Snowspeeder.

@Lordmoral There are directions on the Lego website for how to enter to win the space slug via email. You don't actually have to buy the Death Star.
https://shop.lego.com/en-CA/Death-Star-TandC
"Alternatively, to enter without making a purchase:
1) Send us an email at the address below, with the following information:
• Write “LEGO Star Wars™ Escape the Space Slug™ Sweepstakes” in the subject line
• First and Last Name
• Email Address
• VIP Card Number
2) Send the email to enterVIP @LEGO.com"
I used the 10 Euro store opening discount to get me another Mini Cooper. Love the set and want to try some of the awesome alternate builds in Rebrickable without dismantling my built one.
Also got the surprise polybag 30305 Spider-Man Super Jumper next to the 30422 that was promoted on the site. Nice to receive something extra you don't expect every once in a while. And even though I am not the greatest superheros fan, a free giveaway is always appreciated.
Of the SW promotions, I am not sure if I am going to take advantage of them. Too many other things on my list to get before Christmas.
@nate-dog7:
It seems that here in this side of the ocean the entry without purchase is not advertised.
I checked the linked page in some European sites of shop.lego.com, the paragraph about the alternative entry is missing form the European pages.
Anyway I sent the email, let's see if they accept my entry. I haven't received any confirmation from LEGO wether they accepted my email entry or not.
Haven't we had 'sweepstakes' draws before where for some lawful reason North America can enter by email, but Europe can't? Bit annoying because there's no way I was going to get a Space Slug set in person when it was first issued, and there's also no way I will be buying the new Death Star.
Are we certain that it is the same exact Revan?
Oh great on Sept. 30th I can get a bonus Darth Raven minifigure I already have to go with the Death Star I already have, and I can pay an extra 100.00 for it! Yeah! Bring on the double VIP points though.
Revan's cool, already have him though. Like larsnelson said, Malak would probably have been a better choice, or even Meetra Surik.
I've tried to send the sweepstakes email twice now, and yahoo is saying the emails weren't sent. I put down the address and everything exactly as it says on the Lego site. Is anyone else having the same problem?
Revan is cool, I just have to decide if it's worth buying for extra money to get him. Although I don't suppose the AT-ST will cost much more on the official site than on any other webshop at the start...but still, in the Swiss lego online shop, I have to spend 100 CHF to get free shipping, whereas for example in Germany, the limit is just 55 EUR...
This is kind of lame. Also, the standard shipping (15 CHF) takes up to 10 business days. Which is ridiculous even if they get it from Germany effectively.
Plus, I can't even sign up for the VIP program, cause their shitty new site throws an error every time...
Less than an hour before Friday begins and the LEGO.com site in the UK is advertising 'Triple Points' and 'Free First Order Stormtrooper' for Rogue Friday.
Not quite the Darth Revan and Double Points offer suggested in the article.
Still, anything can happen in the next half hour! (As someone once said in a children's animatronic show...)
Nibbos
So I am putting a star wars set into the bag but Revan isn't showing up.
I tried buying a star wars set at like 1:00am this morning, and Revan was showing up, but it gave me an error and I couldn't buy it. Now at like 4:00pm and Revan isn't there v_v Did they sell out of him already i wonder?
I just emailed Lego because Revan doesn't doesn't show up in my cart
