LEGO Star Wars 2010 Pictures and Rumors

[Big Cam]

I think that was more to do with the fact that TLC reps have said, time and again, that a transparent/translucent minifigure is just not happening. This is because transparent lego parts are made of a different material than ABS, which has a different gripping strength, molding process etc. Which means a ghost of Ben Kenobi or Hologram of the emperor minifig won't happen, at least not now.

You think they could at least make one in a solid piece, it may not be poseable like a regular minifig but at least it would look like one.

Kim you sound sure about the new carbonite Han and Aayla, anything you want to share?

Though I've heard that 2010 is cool, but 2011 is going to rock your world.

I am not sure though, I haven't seen or heard what the 2011 lineup is.

Only word is that it's better than anything we've seen so far.

But let's stick to 2010 in this topic until rumors and pics start surfacing.

So is getting Aayla

I'd absolutely love to get Aayla Secura; verily one of my favourite Jedi! Love to see Aurra Sing too.

That's some hype you're laying down KimT... I'm going to have to work even harder or win the lottery methinks!

[RocketClone]

I doubt they will use the in-game model. It looks pretty cartoony and if TLC set their minds to it, they could make a much better one than that. As for the box art, I don't think so as that was an anniversary thing (ten years of LSW).

True but next year is the 30th anniversary of ESB though.

[filip skywalker]

Are we trying to see into the future here Kim or are you just tossing something out there?

Then I do it as well...

What about if we would get Aayla Secura and Barriss Offee in the new CTT??

I think a new Han Solo in carbonite and new Boba Fett is very likely.

So is getting Aayla

Hard to see the future is, the dark side clouds all...

A new Han mold would be awesome, so would an Aayla Secura.

Arg , now you have me all excited

[Darth Legolas]

If/when Lego makes, Aayla, it better be just like Arealights. The head was perfect, and I bet TLG's will sell for so much more but in the end will be worse.

I already stated my prediction for Boba. New Clone jetpack+same body+detachable helmet.

And for Han in Carbonite, I've got no clue. The only thing to change would be to make it 3-D, and that's quite excessive, for Lego.

2011 is probably going to the best considering its the last year of LEGO Star Wars. Or was it 2012?

[KimT]

It's not the last year

Wait and see, the license will be renewed.

Hello!

I guess that we will see Lego Star Wars sets for a long time.

Here are some facts from a Lego Press Release found at Star Wars Union.

Sorry, if it is already posted, but did you know, that

in 2008, in every second 28 Lego SW sets were sold ?

80% of all Star Wars Merchandise in Germany is Lego ?

Worldwide 106 ooo ooo Lego Star Wars stes were sold?

I doubt that they stop this river...

Regards,

JanSued

I agree with that prediction. I also made a prediction of my own when we first heard the rumors about the summer 2010 sets, and that is that the CTT will include both Aayla and Bly.

I'm assuming you highlighted the good bits but this is an English speaking forum, I have no idea what your link is talking about?

The stats are great, it shows LEGO that the license is worth fighting for!

[Klaus-Dieter]

I think a new Han Solo in carbonite and new Boba Fett is very likely.

I partly agree with you, KimT.

Imo a new Boba Fett is not very likely: the new jetpack appeared already this year - so if TLG planed to use it for Boba Fett why didn't they already use it in the Magnet set?!

But I agree with you that a new Han Solo in carbonite is very likely since the old one was too small. Perhaps a mold in which the real Han Solo minifig fits?

Though I've heard that 2010 is cool, but 2011 is going to rock your world.

I am not sure though, I haven't seen or heard what the 2011 lineup is.

Thank you very much for this news, KimT!

That sounds fantastic! Since I'm not interested in CW I have no idea what we'll have to await there for sets - but for OT I'd bet and hope for a new Jabba's Palace and a Yavin Base or a new Cloud City. Hopefully we'll even get a better version of the Imperial Shuttle.

But til we'll get rumours about the 2011 sets it takes about 3/4 year - and now we firstly want to have some pics of the 2010 sets.

Sorry I forgot. I just babelfished it:

Munich, 10 November 2009. LEGO Star Wars celebrates anniversary! For ten years Darth Vader, hatch Skywalker and master Yoda are as LEGO mini figures on galactic mission.

In more than 180 LEGO models they struggle for the Superiority in the universe. All products are to the world-famous double trilogy of George Lucas and the new TV-series Star Wars: The clone Wars . The LEGO Star Wars row developed and inspires in the meantime to the third-follow-richest LEGO line small and large fans starting from six years.

The LEGO GmbH with three anniversary models as well as the first LEGO Star Wars encyclopedia from the Dorling Kindersley publishing house commits the round birthday. All anniversary products are already available. In the course of its ten-year history the LEGO Star Wars license set up already various galactic superlative:

- the LEGO Star Wars 10179 Millenium Falcon (Ultimate Collector edition) is with 5195 LEGO elements the largest LEGO model, which was ever produced. With an overall length of scarcely 90 centimeters and more than 50 centimeters width weighs the developed model approximately ten kilograms.

- More than 250 different mini figures were designt so far for the sets, among them Obi Wan Kenobi, R2-D2, princess Leia, Chewbacca and a Tauntaun in 2009. Those are on average 25 mini figures per year. For other LEGO play rows are developed in the same period only three to four figures.

- 2008 was sold world-wide 28 to LEGO Star Wars set per minute. Those are 1,680 sets per hour and 40,320 each day. - World-wide were sold so far more to than 106 million LEGO Star Wars set.

- the LEGO Star Wars X-Wing Fighter is world-wide the usually-sold product in the entire LEGO history. It was produced for the first time 1999.

- Come more than 80 per cent all Star Wars licensed products on the traditional play produce market in Germany from the LEGO group.

The tenth birthday of LEGO Star Wars is celebrated with three anniversary products and an encyclopedia: Darth Vader' s TIE Fighter corresponds to its model from Star Wars the episodes IV to VI in all details: The wings are brought to Darth Vader in landing position and get out of with its red laser sword the cockpit. In The Battle OF Endor face each other twelve mini figures in the famous scene from episode VI, in which the rebels attack the secret imperial shelter. In the battle of Hoth from episode V Han solo one leaves the icy echo base on its Tauntaun, in order to save its friend hatch Skywalker. The LEGO Star Wars encyclopedia of the figures, spaceships and Droiden specifies all products appeared so far and explains their technical details. A view into the LEGO workshop as well as in models produced by fans round the volume off

True but next year is the 30th anniversary of ESB though.

Then maybe we'll see some ESB-exclusive box art. Oh, and whoever was talking about 2010 being the last year, the license will most likely be renewed, as SW is one of TLC's most popular themes. I don't want to get too far off topic, so I'll link to the License Discussion.

The german LEGO magazine has a new pic of the ARC-170 Fighter who will get a bigger advertisement in the next issue.

Bigger version of the last pic:

Looks to me like real-life Clones and not this zombie-faces we got in all the other TCW sets.

I agree with that prediction. I also made a prediction of my own when we first heard the rumors about the summer 2010 sets, and that is that the CTT will include both Aayla and Bly.

The Bly and Aayla would make me the most happy man on earth. A Gree would also make my year in some other set.

It's a shame about that as they wont fit in with my current army, but I assume that it is closer to Episode 3 so it's okay I guess.

That´s look really great (for me) :blush: I am wondering how exactly will look the pilot helm...

[Mission Commander]

Yes those new clones look awsome! The new helmets look cool too.

[Ras 74]

I bet that they will do one common head with the new printed visor.

That way they easily can use it for a pilot to a snowspeeder if it will be a new one with the Wampa Cave for instance

Or even to the X-Wing pilots if there will be a new one one day.

[pedro]

Damn that new ARC does look awesome. An improvement on the original, superbly detailed and normal LSW printed faces, new helmets on the minifigs too. I wasn't going to bother but it'll be hard to resist now!

I know

And the remake of Grievous Starfighter is also worth getting, especially when considering that we're getting a new Grievous minifig

Now that my friend, is music to my ears!

Maybe then it'll be time for me to disassemble my brickbuilt Grievous, hopefully to pave the way for awesomeness!

[General Magma]

Wow, I guess ep3 style ARC-170! With dot-eyed figs! That's awesome!

That may mean I was right back then, when I said it looked like an ep3 set.

Aayla and Bly in the CTT would be awesome too,

and a new General Grievous fig! I have my own brickbuilt version of GG, I keep it anyways I think, and to be honest I don't think the new Grievous figure would be really posable actually... but it's possible, just unlikely for TLG.

That will be a dealbreaker, I really hope they make him bigger and more accurate!!
