LEGO Star Wars Celebrates 15th Anniversary

June 6, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The LEGO Star Wars theme is celebrating their 15th Anniversary and LEGO has released a short video to mark the event. It shows a Darth Vader minifigure standing in front of a cake and with some clever editing, he blows out the candles with the Force.

The description of the video is in French but with the power of Google Translate it is as follows:

15 years LEGO Star Wars supports a galactic adventure to all families. But what would happen if one of the characters LEGO Star Wars decided to come into your houses to bring the action to Father’s Day?

To find out and try to win a lot of gifts LEGO Star Wars visit: http://laforce15ans.fr/

May the Force be with you!

So apparently there is some kind of contest at the link above, although it is currently down, and it looks like it may be a France only contest. Hopefully we’ll also get some kind of contest here in the States as well.

More Reports of LEGO UCS Slave I Releasing in 2014

June 1, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

DarthAlex92 on Eurobricks has reported that they have some information of a new UCS LEGO Star Wars Slave I that may be released later this year. As we reported last year, there was a rumor already that the Slave I could be coming out this year. So now there are two reports that the Slave I would become an UCS set so it’s plausible that the rumor may be true.

For the details of the UCS Slave I, it will be Boba Fett’s version and will include a brand new Boba Fett minifigure. The model of the Slave I will be similar in size of the new Imperial Star Destroyer (75055).

The information above was acquired by the DarthAlex92 from a LEGO product design manager. What are you thoughts of the new Slave I?

Update: Ed over on Brickpicker “confirms” that the set will have set number 75060 and will be priced at $199.99. Brickset already has the listing in its database as well with the same set number.

In the clips, you can somewhat see some of the play features of the sets. These summer wave sets should start showing up in stores in late July/August.

Amazon LEGO BOGO 40% Deal

May 27, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

I don’t usually do deals but Amazon has a pretty good one going on right now with a BOGO 40% off sale on select toys including LEGO sets from various themes like Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, The Hobbit, and Castle. Add a set to your cart and another of equal or lesser value and that one will be 40% off. Some of the sets already are already discounted so you’ll be getting a better deal.

One good deal is the LOTR Pirate Ship Ambush (79008) which has a discounted price of $82.50 and if you buy another one, you’ll be saving $33 on the second one making your total $132 or just $66 each. This is a pretty good way to build up your collection of ships. Another deal is the LOTR Battle at the Black Gate (79007) where you can have a full gate just like the film. Check out the full list of eligible sets here.

First Image of LEGO Star Wars MTT (75058)

May 27, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

LEGO Kocka has posted the first image of the new LEGO Star Wars MTT (75058). Earlier this month, we reported that there were some minifigures listed with the set number in the instructions of the Mos Eisley Cantina (75052) set but there was no mention of what the set was. The minifigures that are in the set include Obi-Wan Kenobi, Qui-Gon Jinn, a Naboo Royal Security Guard, a Battle Droid Pilot, several Battle Droids, and a PK-4 Worker Droid. The last regular MTT set that was released was back in 2007 with the Trade Federation MTT (7662) and the polybag was in 2012.

LEGO Star Wars 2014 Advent Calendar (75056)

Nrg on Eurobricks has posted a link to German toy store Spielwaren-Bludau.de who posted the official images of the LEGO Star Wars 2014 Advent Calendar (75056). The set was first seen at New York Toy Fair 2014 and we already know that Santa Darth Vader will be the final thing in the calendar. We now get to see the other builds for the rest of the calendar. A couple of the things that I like are the lightsaber fireplace and Luke’s Landspeeder. It consists of 274 pieces and retails for $39.99. What are your guys’ thoughts on the calendar?

LEGO Star Wars: The Dark Side Exclusive Minifigure Revealed

May 10, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

There is now information of the exclusive minifigure that is in the new book by DK Publishing, LEGO Star Wars: The Dark Side. Over on the forums of Imperium der Steine, a user by the name of marc.hb has revealed that the minifigure included with the book will be Emperor Palpatine/Darth Sidious which was seen in an image of the German cover of the book. Although there is no images yet of the minifigure, there was an image a few months back on Eurobricks of a new torso for Palatine which is very similiar to the one seen in Episode 3 of the Microfighters video (see below). You can also see that the torso has tan hands. Will we also get those hands with the minifigure in the book? We’ll have to see when DK reveals the minifigure. So it looks like we’ll be seeing a new Emperor Palpatine/Darth Sidious LEGO minifigure. How do you guys feel about that?
