10-10-09 is LEGO Star Wars Day!
October 6th, 2009 by Tommy Day
If you follow me on Twitter (and you should), you’ve probably heard me mention that this coming Saturday is going to be a big day for Saturday Morning Central. SMC is proud to be partnering up with DK Publishing as part of their blog team covering the release celebration of LEGO Star Wars: The Visual Dictionary.
To celebrate the 10 year anniversary of the marriage of LEGO and Star Wars, DK is publishing a visual dictionary packed with facts and photos. The book also contains an exclusive Luke Skywalker (awards ceremony from ANH) minifig!
If you’ve never read one of DK’s books like this, here’s a good idea of what you get.
You can buy the book now on Amazon!
I grew up addicted to their Star Wars Visual Dictionaries, and I was pretty excited to hear about the LEGO Star Wars version. 10-10-09 isn’t just a book release, it’s also a day packed with events all over the country. You can check out the official website of the book to find a complete list of stores, and if you’re lucky enough to have an event close to you, you should go check it out. Members of the 501st will be there to represent the Empire, and you may just run into one of my fellow blog team members.
Unfortunately, there is not a store in Indiana participating, so I will be coming up with some alternative coverage here on the site. Oh yeah, and did I mention the PRIZES? Soon I will post details on how to enter, but here is what you could win from DK:
- Mega Prize (1 Winner): 1 copy of LEGO Star Wars Visual Dictionary, 1 special 10/10/09 LEGO Star Wars t-shirt, 1 postcard pack from San Diego Comic Con, and 1 Darth Vader Minifigure.
- Mini Packs (3 Winners): 1 copy of LEGO Star Wars Visual Dictionary and 1 10/10/09 LEGO Star Wars t-shirt.
Wondering what other sweet blogs are covering this event? Check em out!
Every day this week until Saturday I will be posting something LEGO Star Wars related, including an official review of the book itself and leading up to the big giveaway, so stay tuned!
