LEGO Star Wars 2010 Pictures and Rumors

[Jar Jar]

Will the Swamp Speeder be available in the U.S.A? I have to get my hands on that Barriss!

Maybe, or Derek 'Hobbie' Klivian. He's a pretty famous rebel pilot, and he has an interesting helmet design.

Why a debate? What are you arguing about?

Zev fought in the Battle of Hoth as well, piloting a snowspeeder. He died when it was shot down by an AT-AT.

Point 1. No argument here, just saying about who's piloting what, where and when in ESB in reference to the Lego sets.

Point 2. Er, if Zev was killed in his snowspeeder by blaster fire from an AT-AT and snowtroopers come after the walkers (I think), then why is he still alive and fighting a ground battle with the rebels ?

Of course it's going to be available in the United States. When was the last time a Star Wars set wasn't released in America...?

I got my lego club mag today, it shows the 2010 sets, the droid tie fighter has a red star, the swamp speeder also has a red and it has a green star, the swamp speeder says it is out in February, all the others are January.

Limited edition sets tends to be released a bit later than the regular wave like the count dooku solar sailor and ahoska fighter. Those were released 1-2 months after the wave with Republic gunship, AT-te, v-19, etc.

[DarthSion]

I know, but the front page doesn't have a release date, now people will know when the speeder is due.

Well, maybe he was fighting on the ground, then, went and grabbed a snow speeder. Who knows...

I don't get why that pic of the swamp speeder is on Tatooine, then on the box art of the set, the background is most likely Felucia.

Oh well, the set looks Great!

Is the speeder going to only be exclusive to Toys R Us? Or will they sell the speeder in other stores because I don't want to be paying $30 dollars at Toys R Us.

No one knows, just it will be an exclusive, but yeah no one wants TRU to get the exclusives, here is hoping LA makes TLG dump TRU exclusives.

You just posted that afew minutes ago.

In the end, Lego are most likly thinking that, if you love the set, you won't mind paying another three or four more dollars.

I wasn't being angry, but to have a debate, you need to argue and oppose. I was just wondering why you disagreed with me.

Of course there were no pilots fighting in the trenches, they were in T-47s or spacecraft. TLG just wanted to keep some variety in the battlepack.

[Mraz Skintas]

I think that having three footsoldiers and a pilot is the best way to do Battle Packs, so that way, if you loose one, or there is a set with two seats and only one person to man them, they are easy to afford, and plus, they go great if you plan on doing a hangar diorama.

The reason the first Swamp Speeder pic is on Tatooine is because it was preliminary, and it may have something to do with the fact they are coming out around the same time, but I don't know.

If all of you are wondering why Zev is in the BP, what you really should be wondering is why there are two of him in the ARC-170. It's the same head. So basically, it can be used as anyone you want to have orange goggles and a chinstrap.

Some sets are exclusives to TRU in the US while they're common in other countries.

Let's stick with discussing the sets here and keep questions on availability in the Star Wars Sets Anyone?-topic where they belong.

As for the neverending discussion on cartoonish heads versus system heads, feel free to make a new topic on that, but for now keep it out of here.

How dare you forget about those three mini's! I still want to punch Lego in the face for not giving me a Stormtrooper Speeder!

But yeah, the big sets always come out here.

I think he's refering to boxed regular lego sets, like the ones you can buy from Shop@home.

[KimT]

Did you guys ignore what I just posted?

Lay off the availability discussion please...

Summer sets! I love you KimT! *faints but wakes up because wants to see more sets again*

[DarthSion]

OMG is that Cad Bane in the CTT?, and Aayla Secura?.

That Wamap cave looks sweet, lol skeleton with it.

Like Plo's fighter.

New grievous looks interesting, wonder what the other droid is, OMG is that Kit fisto's old padawan Nahdar Vebb.

Another new Vader?, definitely getting Emperors shuttle, and a new medical droid?.

Oh man how can they do flick missiles on Slave I, and Boba has a cape?.

God damn this has to be the best year for lego.

What a lot of new figures, so many thing year.

Glad i saved them before they get removed.

[ADHO15]

Thank you so much, Kim!

Wampa cave has a cool Wampa with tauntaun horns, a pilot for the (new again) snowspeeder and nice Hoth Luke. The cave looks interesting too.

Plo's fighter looks small and cheap which is good. Has his astromech too.

A newly-designed and more accurate Grievous, it looks like his medical droid and Nahdar Vebb. A cheap Calamari head! Looks like it has a little repair bench too.

It looks like the Death Star Palpatine, a new flesh & damaged Vader, one of the new clone pilots and medical droid. The ship looks just a little bigger than the RAS.

New Boba & Bossk figs, Han & new carbonite mould. An upgraded, but still very multi-functional Slave 1.

Clone turbo tank has new AT-RT, Cad Bane and Aayla Secura! Tank looks quite similar to the old one, though.

Remember that they're preliminary, so the designs aren't quite right yet (thankfully ).

Let's not have any deeplinking of them. They're clearly watermarked and confidential.

It looks like it'll be an expensive summer!

[Big Cam]

OMG, 2010 is going to be an expensive year for me, is that a total of 3 new jedi's then.

I saved them as well.

[RoryoCox]

OMMMMMMMG! Thank You so much KimT.

I cannot believe it. These sets look brilliant.

However they are obviously still in progress because Aayla has a white head and a lot of the other minifigures are a WIP.

I cannot wait until the summer.

Also the new boxart looks brilliant.

The Wampa cave is cool.The figs are brilliant

The Slave 1 is brilliant. Boba has a cape!! The others figs are good as well and I am glad to see they have increased the size of the frozen Han.

The Turbo Tank is good. The minifigures are good especially Bane and Aayla.

The shuttle is amazing. A new Darth Vader, a medical droid, Emperor Palpatine and a Clone Pilot.

Greivous' starfighter is alright. I am not sure on the cockpit but what are the other 2 minifigures along with the General.

Plo Koons fighter is the same old design. The droid is still a WIP but it should be a good set.

Overall the summer will be more expensive than January with a lot of big sets coming out. I cannot wait!!

Again thanks KimT.

[the Inventor]

Great find, KimT

OMG, 2010 is going to be an expensive year for me, is that a total of 3 new jedi's then.

For me too, a really long list of new figures in these sets.

[Bobskink]

I really like the trashcan that comes with Plo Koon

And a new Boba fett... I think some fans will have an orgasm (I hope can I say that over here in this context)

Not to mention all the new figures.
