May the 4th has come and gone but that doesn’t mean the LEGO Star Wars fun is over.
From yesterday (May 7th) until May 31st you can get a free R3-M2 set with any LEGO Star Wars purchase.
This particular droid features in Rogue One, for those of you who aren’t experts on Astromech droids.
There is no minimum spend on this particular promotion, it just has to be Star Wars. Unfortunately Australia’s shipping costs are high if you aren’t spending $200 or more.
Here are the terms of the offer:
LEGO® Star Wars™ R3-M2™ (40268) offer is valid for orders online at shop.LEGO.com and telephone orders from 7th May until 31st May 2017, or while stocks last. Qualifying purchase must be in LEGO Star Wars™ merchandise only. One LEGO Star Wars™ R3-M2™ (40268) per household. Cannot be applied to previous purchases or combined with any other discount, offer or free gift.
This offer is not likely to be currently available at Chadstone or Dreamworld.

Buy an $8 keyring with $25 shipping to get a “free” astromech droid. It starts to sound like a pretty expensive minifig. And after just dropping $200+ during the May the fourth promotion to get the R2 polybag (like a ton of people judging by the number of SW sets that are on backorder) the timing of this promotion is unfortunate. I hope it becomes more widely available.
