New Star Wars and Thor sets now available at LEGO.com
Posted by Huw,
Four Star Wars sets, including the three new dioramas, and two Thor: Love and Thunder sets are now available at LEGO.com in all regions:
- 75329 Death Star Trench Run
- 75330 Dagobah Jedi Training
- 75339 Death Star Trash Compactor
- 75342 Republic Fighter Tank
The gift with purchase in the UK and Europe is currently 40487 Sailboat Adventure, with purchases over £/€150. You may want to wait until the May the Fourth offers commence on Sunday before ordering the Star Wars sets, though, and hope that stocks last!

Can't wait to build The Goat Boat!
I hope the early release of Star Wars items doesn't destroy the May the 4th Star Wars promotion.

It's just a shame there isn't some sort of theme tune that could run alongside a promo like that!
Pretty sure the dioramas are excluded from the double points event, but I guess they'd still get you the GWPs.
I bet the star wars sets will be OOS when the GWPs are valid
I really like the dioramas. I see the 2 cheaper ones are already on Amazon so pretty sure of being cheaper in a couple of months. 75339 isn't though. Lego exclusive maybe (for a while at least)?
So is the Trash Compactor diorama a Lego Shop exclusive?

Maybe they're double-checking with LEGO if that RRP isn't a mistake.
On a more serious note, I noticed Amazon is pretty random with when the new sets appear at the store (at least the Polish one), so I wouldn't worry about it.

Of course the decent thing to do would be for any out of stock Star Wars set to immediately go on back-order and therefore still be eligible for GWPs, however....

I hope to be awake by May 1st very early to buy the sets.

It will be a Walmart retailer exclusive (in the US) outside of LEGO.

But will still be on LEGO.com
Also, I'm just waiting for a T-Rex breakout restock
Bet they're out of stock before the May the 4th promo kicks in. Seems weird they'd release them 5 days before that, combined with exclusions on which sets give double VIP points, im sensing a real "disturbance in the force".

Hence the "outside of LEGO."
Going to have to dig deep to resist the Trash Compactor set until either May 4th or when it’s in stock if it’s unavailable at that time. Love that scene, like the set (nitpicks aside - more brown less grey, mf issues, price, etc) and have a special place set aside to display it.
Now I just need to figure out how to add some music to it. It’s one of those segments that got it’s own motif from John Williams and to integrate it into this would be groovy.
Here’s that clip from the OST, in case you don’t recall it:

But this is what marketing wants to see...more frequent purchasing. FOMO to drive today's release and May 4th promos to drive additional purchasing. And then again in 2 weeks for additional desireable GWPs. Marketing mantra..."spend more and spend often"...
I guess we will see what's available in a few days. I guess if what I need in the Star Wars theme isn't available, I'm not going to buy something I don't want for some freebies. I'd only want Beru set anyway, but naturally that's the most expensive level. I guess it just wasn't meant to be.

No time for love Dr. Jones!

Ah, misread sorry
As a big Star Wars and Marvel fan, I do not care about any of these sets. Just not appealing in any way to me.

I'm afraid you are totally right about TLG's marketing strategy... :-(
And -in Yoda's way of speaking- admit I will, this year some FOMO I have on May the 4th promo's!
FYI, here in the Netherlands at least the 75342-1 Republic Fighter Tank is already on back order... unsurprisingly.

Let's hope so, if that's going to be the case (which seems very plausible).
