LEGO Celebrates Star Wars Day 2025 with a Free Grogu Toy

— April 24, 2025 — Pop Culture
LEGO stores are celebrating May the 4th, which is also known as Star Wars Day, by launching a specially limited Make & Take event where fans can visit and create their own miniature Grogu toy. The adorable character can go home with visitors -- it also features his signature hover pram.

The exclusive toy is seen wearing his familiar outfit and will be given away, similar to the buildable hearts campaign that LEGO hosted this Valentine's Day. This promotion will be running from noon until 2 PM at local times. It takes place at participating LEGO stores in the US, the UK, and Canada. It is meant for builders from the age six and up and functions as a first-come, first-served basis.
