LEGO Star Wars 2013 Pictures and Rumors

[Chills]

It may yet be ANH heavy. Considering that the new movies will pick up from Luke Leia Han etc, it would not be a bad plan for Lucasfilms and Lego to push the focus to going back to those beginnings. They are going to be seeking to re familiarize everyone with the OT, so late 2014 may have some real love for OT fans.

That would be pretty awesome, I could pick up some new sets that were last out when I was in my Dark Ages.

Though I have to admit the PT sets this year are quite cool. I hope TLG mixes in some ROTS sets in 2014 with the rumored OT sets.

All of the Summer sets are available at Celebration Europe. Was going to buy some but lost my wallet during the convention... hopefully someone will find and report it, though I'm not holding out hopes.

Saw (I think) all the Summer sets today at the Mall of America store! (near the end of the video)

Not sure if this is the right thread (I'm so bad with SW sorry guys ) but they were also at the Downtown Disney Florida store today.

I saw all of the summer sets (except for the Coleman Trebor set) at the local TRU in Yuma, Arizona! Sorry if this is the wrong place for this, just trying to help anyone on the hunt ;)

Someone mentioned solid statue-like polycarbonate minifigs earlier. It's not a bad idea, but not as useful as many people would like.

Yes, I am someone who came up with that idea. The new Ewok Village would have been the place to put the ghost figs, now it looks like it's either custom moulds or none at all.

The solid figs idea was not well recieved at all. The fans would rather have ghosts that can hold things and sit down, and do other things that ghosts should be able to do.

I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic or not. To be fair, ghost Obi-Wan did sit down in Jedi.

And wasn't ghost Yoda sat on a railing in the Ewok village?

Oh, you're right; but it wouldn't matter as far as LEGO minifigs because the short legs don't bend whether they're transparent or not.

Looks like I have to take a trip out to the MoA next week.

What about holograms?

[Artanis I]

The sets are STILL not available in Australia..... -_________-

They've been on the website for a while now, but they'll be in shops from this week - the official release is August.

[Mr Man]

What about holograms?

Holographic Sidious was sitting in TPM and the Jedi council holograms can sit as well.

I've just noticed that 3 of the new planet sets are available on the LEGO website (link). I'm going to do my best for this not to sound like a rant but:

The UK price for them is £11.99 each, which is the same as the current battle packs!! Considering they're struggling to sell some of the last series at 50% off (£4.99) it's an interesting price-point

Ah well, I'll wait for the inevitible sales on these; perhaps it's the reason why one of the main UK stores (Argos) isn't selling them anymore.

Yeah, I picked up the last lot for £3 each from Morrison's.

Wow, I thought they were going to cancel the release of series 4 because of how horrible the other ones were selling, but selling them as much as a battle pack!? The only good thing that will happen is that people will begin to appreciate the battle packs more.

[TheLegoDr]

I guess I didn't realize they weren't selling well. The planet sets are some of my favorite. You get a neat character and a neat mini build that I normally wouldn't attempt to build.

same I like some of them too, but why people dislike the planet sets isn't so much what you get inside but is more price, packaging etc.

No they haven't ,they have only been on the Lego website, but not in stores.

Maybe they haven't been in for the last two months but they've been here for about a month

. I know bluewater had all of the new sets.

Since we will have the Ewok Village in September, should we expect a second UCS set this year, or will the EV (which is more a big playset) replace the H2 UCS ?

i'm not sure UCS sets are usually ships but seeing as this is a 12+ it probably is replacing a UCS. And, by now we probably would have seen pics of a UCS.
