We recently reported that 5005376 Star Wars Anniversary Pod was going to be a gift with purchase over the Christmas period.

Unfortunately an issue has arisen which has resulted in the promotion being cancelled. Here's the official statement:

"We have to inform that as part of our internal quality screening process, we have found that the Star Wars Metalized Pod 5005376 does not meet our strict standards.

"As you know, we take the quality and safety of our products extremely seriously, and so out of an abundance of caution we have decided not to launch the Star Wars Pod .

"We are committed to continuing support for our Star Wars promotion, and will offer consumers 10% off across all LEGO Star Wars products from 18th – 24th December 2017, excluding 75192 Millennium Falcon."

Update: the 10% discount will not apply in North America and Canada, where another promotion will take this one's place. We'll provide more information when we have it.
