8th of May date came from a Lego store manager

I think if any part of VII was on Bespin, Billy Dee Williams would have been part of the official cast announcement yesterday.

Not necessarily. Considering that the events of Ep6 and Ep7 will likely be many years apart in the movies it could mean that Lando has probably moved on to better pastures.

Anyway, I got my new Visual Dictionary today. Does that count as a "set"? It looks a lot more comprehensive than the old one, though it doesn't have flip art in the lower margins anymore. Also, no mention of the other two DK book/set combo sets...Anyway, it seems to cover pretty much every set released to date, up to the Micro Fighters. (The only thing I haven't seen so far is the Yoda Chronicles holocron room, which I can't blame them for overlooking since it's so rare.)

I found images of the Anakin's Jedi Intercepter on the Toys R Us. Sorry I cannot post on here since I have trouble uploading photos.

I went to my local lego store to get Darth Revan and got some extra stuff, poplybags, etc... Also this poster with the Bespin Duel on it. I didn't open the poster and at first I declined it, but the girl in the store (who I know is a big SW fan) was pretty insisting that I should take a good look at it before declining it.

Maybe she was hinting that something interesting was on it.

Don't know, maybe I'm reading to mush into it.

Or maybe she fancied you and was trying to keep you there talking to her

Im slightly confused, which sets are being released on 8th May in the UK? I thought all currently known sets had now been released already?

The summer wave of star wars sets(star destroyer,at-at, snowspeeder etc.)

That's good news, didn't LEGO say they were initially releasing the sets in August at the NYTF? The sooner the better. Can't wait for the reviews!

@Cammo: The signs at the NYTF always indicate August as the release date If I remember correctly, the SW release dates usually look like this: Europe (excluding the UK): May, UK: June, US/Canada: July/August. I'm referring to s@h by the way, most retailers in Europe don't get the sets until August/September

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but there's a new book on the way: http://jedinews.co.uk/news/news.aspx?newsID=16615

It sort of felt like it before, but this is the point where I now definitely think they're milking the concept of the LEGO kid's guide/dictionary/encyclopedia with an exclusive minifig. (Not that it's surprising, just mildly annoying.)

I can't tell the exclusive minfig. Is it supposed to a dark Yoda or a new variant of Sith Anakin?

The exclusive minifig usually isn't revealed immediately; they just make the spot where it would be in the cover blank.

Thank you threepwood, I had forgot about those!!

Is it me or is the new summer sets pictures on S@H UK. Before going to the SW section of the shop.

Could well be!! Think they arrive earlier in the UK

I see them at the Dutch website too, but they are not available yet.

Indeed, on the Belgian site too, but I only see the new B-Wing and ISD on the front page.

I didn't expect the UK to be getting the summer wave this early at all.

Great news! I really hope we will get the new sets in May!

I don't know if anyone noticed, but in the new Yoda Chronicles trailer, you can see a glimpse of what appears to be a new TIE Advance, so perhaps it'll be one of the Summer Exclusive set this year.

On the topic of the summer exclusive sets, I'm really surprised that we haven't gotten any news of what they'll be yet. Does anyone remember when we got news of the two summer exclusives last year?

I remember, we should get the info in dec ...

Kinda surprised in a good way that they are getting released a month earlier than the previous years in the UK. A good sign by the 75050 and 75055 early pics on S@H.

So it could be May after all.

Can someone remind me what summer exclusive we got last year other than the Jedi defender?

I think it was the HH-87 Starhopper.
