Packaging Design Explanation for LEGO Star Wars UCS Sandcrawler 75059

March 8, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

The LEGO Marketing department has given an explanation of the Ultimate Collector’s Series seal on the new LEGO Star Wars Sandcrawler (75059).

“The decision has been made to change the packaging for future “LEGO exclusive” Star Wars sets to include the UCS seal and de-link from the core Star Wars packaging. In addition to the packaging change an update has been made to the building instructions. The building instructions will have additional pages detailing the model’s connection to the movie and its development process. Much as the Creator Expert badge differentiates the larger models from the core assortment the goal of this change is to better communicate to builders that these sets represent our biggest building challenge in the LEGO Star Wars theme.”

LEGO Star Wars Microfighters Clone Turbo Tank (75028) Review

March 2, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

When the images of the new LEGO Star Wars Microfighters first came out last year for this current wave, I was a thousand times more excited for these set than the regular system sets. These Microfighters are miniature models, aka chibi-style, of their regular counterparts. These new sets have also replaced the Planets sets.

The first Microfighters set that we have for review is the Clone Turbo Tank (75028). The set has 96 pieces and retails for $9.99. The contents of the box includes a small instruction booklet, two unnumbered bags, and two loose 1×10 black Technic brick with holes.

First Image of the New LEGO Star Wars Sandcrawler (75059)

March 1, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Flickr user kjavis88 has posted the first image of the new LEGO Star Wars Sandcrawler (75059). The image appears that it’s from the LEGO Star Wars: The Visual Dictionary: Updated and Expanded that is supposed to come out in May. The new Sandcrawler has lots of plates usage and also includes Uncle Owen Lars and at least three Jawas minifigures. Other things the Sandcrawler has are LEGO Technic treads, a magnetic winch, and a Jawa hoversled. It has been rumored that this new set would be revealed at Brick Cascade 2014 and would be the exclusive for LEGO’s May the 4th promotion. Other reports show that the Sandcrawler would go for $349.99. Now we just have to wait for the official images of the set. This also makes me wonder what other new things are updated in the new LEGO Star Wars: The Visual Dictionary.

LEGO Star Wars Rebels The Ghost (75053) Product Image Found

February 26, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

There is now an official product image of the new LEGO Star Wars Rebels The Ghost (75053). The image below came through my Facebook feed but didn’t attribute a source. I’ve also checked the normal news sites but nothing was found for that particular image either. You can see a clearer image of the ship as well as the minifigures including Zeb Orrelios, Hera Syndulla, and Kanan Jarrus, and a Storm Trooper. Nothing much new but at least there’s another image of The Ghost. The set contains 929 pieces and will retail for $89.99. It will be available in August along with the other sets from the summer wave.

LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon Being Released in Future?

February 21, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Over on the Bricklink forums, there is a discussion that LEGO is planning a re-release of the LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector’s Series Millennium Falcon (10179) at end of this year or early next year. The originator of the thread states someone “very reliable” from Denmark emailed them about the news. There’s no details if the re-release is the same as the previous model or a new design. These are rumors but it’s something to keep an eye on.

As we all know, the UCS Millennium Falcon is a highly sought item from the LEGO Star Wars line and are many collectors’ white whale item. They are currently going for a couple of thousand dollars on the secondary market and people have also resorted to buying the parts separately to build their own.

Again, these are all rumors but we’ll stay on top of it. More details as they come.
