Disney Buys Lucasfilm…Star Wars: Episode VII in 2015

October 30, 2012 / / 0 Comments

This is not really LEGO related but will have LEGO implications in the next few years. The Huffington Post reports that today, Disney announced they have purchased Lucasfilm for $4.05 billion. They also state that Star Wars: Episode VII is targeted to be in theaters in 2015 with Episode VIII and Episode IX in theaters “every two or three years.” Since LEGO just signed a licensing agreement extension for 10 more years with Lucasfilm in February, it probably means there’s a good chance that there will be Star Wars: Episode VII-IX LEGO sets in the future.

Street Fighter 2 minifigs - complete roster

A couple of months ago, Julian Fong, aka levork, posted images of his custom LEGO Street Fighter minifigures on his Flickr account as well on LEGO CUUSOO. Unfortunately, LEGO quickly rejected the project due to the content not being appropriate for children, but now you can own these same minifigures as he is selling them. Julian has put the minifigures on eBay and all the proceeds will be going to the Child’s Play Charity. If you’ve wanted these Street Fighter minifigs, bid on them to help a great charity, which is a win-win situation. There is about 4 days 12 hours left on the listing as of this posting so please help out Julian and Child’s Play. Below is a brief description of the listing:

Bison, E. Honda, T. Hawk, Fei Long, Dee Jay, Guile, Blanka, Zangief, Vega, Balrog, Sagat, Dhalsim, and Cammy. Water-slide decals were designed and printed by me and applied to new Lego parts, then sealed with polyurethane for a durable finish. Custom hair elements were fashioned either from a combination of other Lego parts, and/or incorporate epoxy sculpts or paper elements. These figures are meant for display or very light play: the decals are fairly
