LEGOLAND Malaysia Star Wars Celebration Sneak Peek

Wednesday, April 26th, 2017 by Brickfinder

We were invited to the LEGO regional office today for a sneak preview of the upcoming Star Wars Celebration in LEGOLAND Malaysia!

Teaming up with the LEGO, they have rolled out the activities and events that will take place over the course of one month at LEGO’s official theme park in Johor Bahru.

For starters, there will be the largest gathering of Star Wars Troopers who will grace the event with a massive parade to open the celebrations. There are various building campaigns around the park and an activity trail for you to complete and win some prizes.

There will be a Jedi Academy that is open for kids to learn how to be a Jedi and defeat the Sith.

Unfortunately, there will not be any exclusive Star Wars celebration Duplo brick this year which is a bummer as I was looking forward to it since they did have one for Lunar New Year in February.

One of the major revelations at this sneak preview was the announcement that both the Singapore and Malaysia market will be the FIRST in the world to receive the latest LEGO Star Wars Sets!

They will be available on May 1st onwards and this is exclusive to LEGO Certified Stores and LEGOLAND Malaysia.
