LEGO Star Wars 2013 Pictures and Rumors

[just2good]

Wow, J2G! Like GROgall spends his days getting us (excellent) pics, do you search the web for listings of the sets?

Yes. I have each major retailed bookmarked with "lego" searched in.

Anywho, I'm amazed that these are out this early! I was expecting an August release.

[8BrickMario]

Well, that wouldn't make sense, as all the other summer sets are coming out then, too. You gotta make all the wallets commit suicide at once!

[Legoman123]

Does anybody know, are there any news abot Ewok Village?

I dont think there is any news on the Ewok village set as of yet, but I think that we will here something in the next couple of months. There is a video on brick shows channel talking about this, and if they have it on there channel it is pretty much confirmed.

I would say it´s coming out later this year, probably August/November window. This means we will probably get the announcement with 30 high-res pics and all the info two or three months prior to release.

There's a review for the republic gunship now.

[Only Sinner]

Yeah, K-Mart has four on the site, but now they all say "unavailable". The sets aren't even out yet and one of them was on sale already! How about that? I can't wait to get these.

Now I want it! I was thinking I could pass it up, but now I don't know. Darn you, LEGO, and your excellent sets...

Good thing I got JEK-14's Stealth Fighter when I did this morning. A leaked set on sale? Yes please!

[Darth Malgus]

Like the minifigs of both the JEK and TOR sets! Thanks for the pics!

[FoggyNelson]

That set hits all the marks. I can't wait. Those figs are to die for.

[8BrickMario]

^Which set? The Defender or the Gunship?

^^Thanks! I was happy to provide pics of the SWTOR minifigs, especially the Consular I'm drooling over.

Off-topic, but TRU's "longer in stock" thing blew me away again when I saw Battle for Geonosis on the shelf. I missed out on Luminara, and that was the easiest way until it was discontinued. I didn't get it, though. I think LEGO nailed the Mirialan appearance with the Jedi Consualr, and hope for a redesign of Luminara from the films akin to this. I like the female Jedi LEGO has released, film versions better (except Barriss, her CW version looks so good), so the Consular is a must have for me, along with Stass Allie.

Am I the only one who wants the Homing Spider Droid set? I'm not even a Star Wars fan, but it comes with Stass Allie- the first (and only) black female minifigure! I'm just not willing to fork over $30. $20 would be much better, as the rest of the set is crap. The only cool pieces besides the Stass figure is the grey dome corners. It's a darn shame, but I might have to get Stass off of eBay/Bricklink.

[8BrickMario]

I'll gladly pay $30. I didn't realize the price prior to now. The Spider Droid looks cool to me, and of course Stass Allie... Although she's the first black LEGO female, she has solid purple eyes and a bit of the Tholothian headdress on her head, so the head doesn't allow for use outside of Stass. Shame, but not a surprise.

I want to like the Sail Barge, as I'm first and foremost an OT fan, but it isn't cutting it for me, It'll be sad to pass up Slave Leia and Max Rebo, but I'll probably skip this set. My top 3, in order, are the Defender Cruiser, Homing Spider Droid, and the Duel on Geonosis.

Eh, it's good enough for now. She's a great figure- I'd pay a good $10 for her!

Maybe she can be used as Storm from the X-Men in "Storm Mode?" (is that what they call it?)

[8BrickMario]

Me too. I like my LEGO female Jedi. They seem to be more unique and diverse than the men. We have 3 Mirialans, two Togruta, one Twi'lek, one Tholothian, and one human.

The LEGO male Jedi are diverse, too, with 3 Zabrak, one Vurk, one Nautolan, one of Yoda's species, one Lannik, one Cerean, one Kel Dor, one Kiffar, one Iktoch, one Mon Calamari and six humans. (I'm not a SW genius, I used the old Brickipedia SW minifig template and looked at the Jedi, and then looked up what species they were on Wookieepedia.)

I think the females look more eye-catching and colorful than the guys, so I like their minifigs better.

EDIT: Allie's head would make a great Storm with a long silver hairpiece!

Well, i like the Homing Spider droid set, too. The Stass Allie minifig is plain beautiful. However, it goes at 40 EUR which equals 51,97 USD atm. Sail Barge is 120 EUR, equating 155,92 USD.

Pricing is once again outrageous. A nice collection of new sets - but no way i'll get anything before 20+ % discounts.

[Dragonfire]

I only really want the Mando Speeder.

[Cyberbricker]

I want them all except the Barge and Jek Fighter, those don't really interest me...

[DrasticPlastic]

Is it me...or is the new gunship abit...plain? The 2008 version had the different nose stickers, the bacta tank, a more detailed troop bay (albeit one that fit fewer troops), the droid storage and the command centre bit - for quite a bit more cash we seem to be getting less.

That said, it's clearly a very accurate set, maybe Lucas is the problem!

[8BrickMario]

I actually think the outrageous pricing is toned down a bit. The Spider Droid and Corporate Alliance Tank Droid seem well priced. I only wish Duel on Geonosis was $30 as well.
