Ah, that makes sense. Haven't seen Episode IV in fourever!

Anyways, LEGO Stores are already stocking on the 2015 sets... including the retail exclusive ones! Here's a look at the Azure Angel set!

Overall, this set is very cool and a great representation of the Azure Angel from the Clone Wars 2003 show. The Asajj minifigure is very welcomed, as this one doesn't have the goofy Clone Wars look. Also, the $40 price point is alright, as the ship size is satisfying as is the minifigure selection... to an extent.

Hm, I likey. So I guess they're done with the Clone Wars style of faces, even with Clone Wars minifigures (this dude's from Clone Wars, right?). Where is this picture from?

You can tell it's not clone wars style due to his eyes

That's Wulff Yularen of the Imperial Security Bureau (ISB)! Seen first in ANH but also seen in a few TCW episodes.

This is the ANH version- same rank insignia, same white uniform, same hairstyle. In the Clone Wars show, he wears a gray uniform of a different cut and has darker hair.

Yes, my mistake... been a while since I've seen ANH.

One slight difference... He actually had black pants in ANH (he, or a VERY similar ISB officer, is seen walking around in an officer's cap while Han and Luke are escorting Chewie around, I think... white tunic, black pants)

So he was Anakins admiral in the Clone Wars series?

Polybag is from original trilogy

Yes. We saw him a lot in the series.

That was my point, it's not exactly the same. Sorry if I wasn't clear. In my mind a re release is a set that is 100% the same. Same parts, same figs, same set number. I know I'm splitting hairs here but yes then you could count multiple sets that only have minor differences.

That Technic rerelease even has the same set number even though it's years out of sequence. Yes, they do rereleases.

That Azure Angel looks much better than in the watermarked preview images. Asaji's looking a bit like she's put on some weight, though.

To end the debate on an exact rerelease, what I heard secondhand was that it won't be an exact rerelease. There are many surprising aspects to it and I want to confirm that what I heard is legit from the informant. Will let you know when I can.

The Azure Angel looks outstanding and I'm impressed they made Yularen from Episode IV which is great for OT fans like myself. I'll need to pick him up so he can be in the deathstar's conference room.

Either Yularen was fine with me, and I'm glad we're getting one at all. For what it is, it looks amazing.

Here's that polybag!

I like it, well aged and white uniform nice...

Such an obscure choice though.

Maybe Yularen will appear in Rebels? That seems highly plausible given that the show is produced by the same people who made the CloneWars series.

I was thinking the same thing. He is the head of the ISB, right? Agent Kallus is from that department. You never know.

White pants? LEGO, do your homework!!!

Isn't that the Rebel colors on that polybag? Same orange as my AT-DP box.

It's already been reviewed on Eurobricks. Don't be mysterious when you don't need to be.

The yularen poly has no rebel logo at the bottom so its not a rebel minifig.

It is the box theme for this year. For all the sets even those who aren't rebels sets. (like Vader for last year and Yoda the year before)

The rebels sets have an additional "Star Wars Rebels" label written on the box

Edit: irispen beat me to it by a couple seconds

Wow, I love that we're getting ANH Yularren and not the CW version! Awesome! This may be the first May the 4th promo I actually make an effort to get. Is it usually with a purchase of 75$?

Agreed. That's pretty awesome.

Where is the source/evidence that the Hoth set is going to be a large scale one? I'm not seeing it.
