LEGO Star Wars 2012 Pictures and Rumors

[Algernon]

Thanks to hi-res photos. This is my test-build and rendering.

Somehow, your render looks quite a bit better than the official model.

Looking good! Did you make that with Ldraw or LDD?

Not a bit. It looks way better

But the model itself looks very, very good. Only this price...

Overall, one of the best SW sets ever in my opinion.

The Malevolence is on USA S@H with a ship date of 07/23/12. No other 2012 sets though, besides the UCS B-Wing

Thanks, I use LDD and Ldd2POVRay.

Thanks, I wonder why not somebody make a set weight/price or volume/price ratio, too. (?g/US ?cc/US etc.)(include/exclude non-plastic parts)

All we need is a database of parts weight/volume.(Can be estimate by digital part model database, or measure the real parts)

Look at the top right of the picture, there is something SW on that poster

[Brickdoctor]

Thanks for the pic, Bricksan, and thanks for the link, just2good.

The 2013 rumors topic is now up; further discussion of the Rancor Pit belongs there. I'll move these posts over there in a moment...

...and done.

*EDIT* Wait, that was already posted in 2013 rumours and pictures. My bad.

Remember, guys, this thread is for discussing the rumored (pretty much all confirmed, now) 2012 sets themselves, not where they've been spotted and where they're available. I've moved a few posts over to Availability. (Future Star Wars Sets) Thanks!

[Spider-Man]

I apologize, I was just responding to the comment, trying to give an answer. I will stay on topic

Oh, sorry . I will stay more on topic.

And thanks for the answer Spider-Man.

Sorry for the double post.

I know off site reviews aren't recommended here, but the brickshow has posted the first review for Palpaines arrest. I would not usually post this but there is not one yet on EB. Enjoy .

Here's another (and earlier) one:

[Bilbo Baggins]

Wow! The minifigures on the set are spectacular specially Palpatine I cant wait for a written review in EB.

[The Joker1]

Ooh that reveiw just makes me want the set even more. Does anyone know when it is out here in the UK?

[eric729]

Sorry if this was posted already, but Legoboy12345678 has reviews on all the summer sets (including the planets sets) execpt Pre Viszla's Starfighter

[Spider-Man]

Does anybody know of any good review for the Battle of Hoth board game? I can't find a review on EB and was really considering trying to get this shipped over to the US

[Bilbo Baggins]

Is there any possibility for a Winter wave?

[augustus]

Hi, if this is a dumb idea, then sorry, but I have checked the German prospectus and Pre-Viszlas Starfighter is listed as a normal set, not as exclusive limited edition. Then my question is - since Lego used to produce two exclusive limited edition sets in second wave, what is the second set together with the Palpatines Arrest. Is it the Advent Calendar, or is there any possibility that Lego may surprise us with one more set?

[Vindicare]

For what? The next SW wave should be coming out Nov/Dec, here in the States. But that would be the '13 sets...

I'm pretty sure that 9525 is a LE set. Maybe not in your part of the world? I'm not 100% though, so I may be wrong.

Well, in Germany it definitely is not. It stands in the prospectus and moreover I bought one in a normal retail shop, so there may be a hope for one set more, although its unlikely. But lego has surprised us many times..

2012 should be pretty much tied up now apart from the full release of the UCS B-wing and some kind of exclusive set for the up coming Star Wars Celebration.

[Vindicare]

9494's Obi Wan is just awesome! His face print with that great head of hair. Just sayin'
