LEGO Star Wars 2014 Advent Calendar (75056) Round Up

December 31, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The LEGO Star Wars 2014 Advent Calendar (75056) is been completed but not without its faults. Here’s a recap on what was good about the Advent Calendar as well as the bad.

Good

There are many miniature models as well as minifigures that were a pleasant surprise for this year. Luke’s Landspeeder on Day 12 is probably my favorite model for 2014. The design of it was spot on and it was very hard to top. The speeder on Day 19 was another build that I liked. Making it into a sleigh-type vehicle and incorporating Santa’s satchel was an interesting move on LEGO’s part.

Some of the minifigures that I liked were the Festive Astromech Droid on Day 22, the Rebel Pilot from Day 16, and General Rieekan on Day 18. Of couse we have Santa Darth Vader on the last day of the Advent Calendar.

Bad

Unfortunately, there are also bad things that went along with the LEGO Star Wars 2014 Advent Calendar. One of these miscues was the reuse of the Y-Wing from Day 21. There are numerous vehicles in the Star Wars Universe but LEGO decides to reuse the same model from three years ago. Another thing that I wasn’t into was the Super Battle Droid from Day 2. Every year either they or the regular Battle Droids seem to make their way into the calendars. Some people may like them, but I’m not.

Results

Overall, the LEGO Star Wars 2014 Advent Calendar (75056) was an above average … Continue

LEGO January 2015 Promotional Polybags Now Available on Shop@Home

December 31, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

If you still have some older sets to purchase from LEGO Shop@Home, you may want to know that the new 2015 promotional polybags are now available as of yesterday and they do stack.

You can get a FREE LEGO Star Wars At-DP (30274) with any LEGO Star Wars purchase during the month of January. For the FREE LEGO Creator Flower Cart (40140), you need a purchase of $75 or more in your shopping cart. Finally, for the LEGO Friends Mini Golf (30203) polybag, you just need to get any LEGO Friends item.

I tested it with a larger set that I know will cover the criteria to get both the AT-DP and Flower Cart polybags and threw in a random Friends set and sure enough, they all show up in the shopping cart.

If you don’t have anything left to purchase this year, I would hold off one more day when all the new 2015 sets will be available tomorrow. Thanks to Chris for the heads up yesterday.

LEGO Star Wars Admiral Yularen Minifigure Polybag Image

December 30, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

CM4Sci over on Eurobricks has shown an image of the new LEGO Star Wars Admiral Yularen (5002947) minifigure polybag that will be given away during LEGO’s May the 4th event in 2015. For those who aren’t familiar with the character, Admiral Wullf Yularen was the head of the newly-formed Imperial Security Bureau on the first Death Star in Episode IV: A New Hope.

LEGO Star Wars Summer 2015 Set Rumors

December 25, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

After a long Christmas day, it’s time for more Summer 2015 rumored sets and this time we have LEGO Star Wars. Just2Good over on Eurobricks has given some details on what we can expect in Summer 2015 for LEGO Star Wars. Demetri also has jumped on and given some set numbers as well for the sets.

First up is a set called the Imperial Assault Carrier which will go for $129.99. My guess is that it could be the Gozanti-class Cruiser which has been seen in the Star Wars Rebels TV series a few times.

The second set that was given is the Death Star Final Duel. This set is based on the finale of Episode VI: Return of the Jedi where Luke Skywalker duels Darth Vader and where Vader throws Emperor Palpatine down the power core/reactor shaft. A couple of small sets were based closely to the scene in the Final Duel I (7200) and Final Duel II (7201) but they weren’t the actual duel between father and son. This set could also feature the new Darth Vader helmet that we reported about yesterday.

The final set that was mentioned by J2G was the Tydirium Imperial Shuttle, aka the Lambda-class Shuttle. We’ve had a version of this ship in the UCS Imperial Shuttle (10212) as well as a couple of smaller sets but this will probably be a medium-scaled version much like what LEGO did with the B-Wing (75050).

Classic
Flash Speeder (75091)
Naboo Starfighter (75092)
Death Star Final Duel (75093)
Imperial Shuttle Tydirium (75094)… Continue

New Darth Vader Helmet in 2015

December 24, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Eurobricks member Fives has found a new image that has been uploaded to LEGO’s servers which shows a number of main villains from the LEGO Star Wars Universe including Darth Vader, the Inquisitor, and Emperor Palpatine. What’s interesting about this image is the Darth Vader helmet in particular. It is a completely new mold from what we’ve had before. This new image may be a preview of a possible Darth Vader minifigure in the Summer 2015 wave of LEGO Star Wars sets. After comparing the helmet to the Rebels video below, they do look very similar.
