LEGO® Star Wars Magazine Gifts Are Still Available in the U.S.

Summary: Newsstand stopped sending the toy to the U.S. due to new customs rules. We bulk import, clear customs once, and ship from our U.S. location—so subscribers still receive the minifigure or mini build. U.S. shipping is included.

If you follow the LEGO® Star Wars Magazine, you may have seen Newsstand’s email stating they can’t ship issues with the minifigure or mini build to the United States anymore. This is not about removing the gift from the product. It is about compliance costs. New U.S. customs rules require that every package containing a toy passes individual clearance, which makes single-issue international mailings too expensive.

The toy isn’t gone—here’s how U.S. fans still get it

We take a different approach. Instead of shipping one issue at a time internationally, we bulk import the official LEGO® Star Wars Magazine into the U.S. Each consolidated shipment clears customs once. Then we fulfill to subscribers from our U.S. location. The result:

• The magazine arrives with the official minifigure or mini build sealed in its foil pack.
• Free U.S. shipping. No hidden fees.
• Faster, more reliable delivery after customs is cleared.

Why this matters to collectors and parents

The “free gift” is not an afterthought. These are exclusive LEGO® items—characters, ships, and mini builds—that often become hard to find. Collectors care about complete runs. Parents know the build is what makes the magazine interactive and fun. Without the toy, the experience is diminished. Our model preserves the full package as intended.

Subscribe with confidence

U.S. fans do not need to settle for magazines without the gift. Our import-and-fulfill workflow keeps the collectible included for American subscribers—month after month.
