It’s officially May, and we’re just three days away from May the 4th, when Star Wars Day kicks into high gear. But here’s some good news — if you’re one to celebrate (and let me wish you an early Happy May the 4th), Lego is kicking things off early.

Not only is it officially shipping its latest Star Wars sets — many of which are themed to The Mandalorian and Grogu, which hits theaters on May 22, 2026 — but it’s also launched its next Ultimate Collector Series set. Additionally, you can earn double points when purchasing select Star Wars sets directly from Lego, and it’s free to become a Lego Insider to earn them. You can save those points and redeem them for money off future Lego purchases or use them to enter to win other collectibles.

It’s also a weekend with excellent gifts with purchase, and there’s one in particular that I’m eyeing — the Darksaber, which comes free when you spend $160 at Lego. Additionally, you can get a mini build of the Razor Crest — The Mandalorian’s iconic ship — with a spend of $40 or more.

Last but not least, before I highlight my picks from the May 1 Lego Star Wars launches and some deals on sets over at Amazon, we’re approaching launch day for Lego’s next Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series set: The Mandalorian’s N-1 Starfighter. It goes on sale May 4, 2026 — or right now if you’re a Lego Insiders member.
