Star Wars | CASETiFY Dark Side-inspired collection
Thousand-piece LEGO sets. Dirt-cheap video games. Stormtrooper-shaped squeaky toys. Washable rugs patterned with tiny Grogu heads. A Jedi craves these things.
And those are exactly the types of things we’re getting for Star Wars Day 2024. This unofficial holiday celebrates the beloved space saga every year on “May the 4th” (because wordplay), ushering in an exciting lineup of limited-time deals and new product releases across retailers.
Below, we’ve put together a running list of all the drops you shouldn’t miss, whether you’re a casual fan, a hardcore collector, or a stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf herder.
May the 4th sales
Target — save up to 20% (but sometimes more) on select Star Wars merch
Live now through May 4, Target’s Star Wars Day sale is crammed with deals on themed apparel, toys, limited-edition collectibles, costumes, home décor, books, backpacks, and even groceries. (I’m disappointed that no one thought of “Gro-gurt,” though.) Its main landing page promises discounts up to 20% off, but we found some that are even higher: A Star Wars laptop backpack is 58% off, and Star Wars Jedi: Survivor is 57% off, for example. (For even steeper discounts on Star Wars video games, keep scrolling.)

Buying any of them and uploading your receipt to preorderforapin.com sometime between now and May 14 will net you a free limited-edition “May the 4th Be With You” pin.

HELLO???) If you buy two of them, you’ll get a third for free. The retailer has also marked down a handful of its exclusive deluxe Funko POP! sets to the tune of 40% off.

The LEGO Store is also coming out with a new 312-page illustrated hardcover coffee table book called The Force of Creativity. It features development art, character designs, and interviews with folks from LEGO and Lucasfilm that shed new light on the evolution of the Star Wars brand — not just LEGO sets, but Star Wars video games, experiences, the fandom, and more. It comes in a protective slipcase that contains a “time capsule” of memorabilia (like an unproduced animation script), and you can preorder it now ahead of its release on July 20, 2024.
