UK Lego Stores Are Giving Away Free Star Wars Lightsabers Next Month
AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Select UK Lego stores are hosting a free lightsaber giveaway event this March, though international fans will miss out.
For anyone who still refuses to grow out of collecting brick-built sci-fi memorabilia, Lego has a fun little weekend event lined up for March. According to a report by Polygon, select Lego retail locations in the UK will be handing out free buildable Lego Star Wars lightsabers to visitors. The promotion is scheduled across two specific windows, running on March 7 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and March 8 from 12 p.m. to 2 p.m.
As much as we love a physical goodie bag, there are a few frustrating catches to keep in mind. First off, supplies are strictly limited and distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, meaning you will likely need to queue up early if you want to secure one before stocks run dry. More importantly, the promotion is currently locked to participating stores in the UK only, leaving international fans empty-handed for now.
While regional store exclusives can be a tough pill to swallow for the wider global community, successful brick-and-mortar giveaways often pave the way for broader rollouts down the line. If you happen to reside across the pond and want to try your luck, you can check the official Lego website to see if your local storefront is taking part in the festivities.
