LEGO Star Wars 2013 Summer Set Rumors

LEGO Star Wars Battle of Hoth (75014) Box Art

With the new LEGO Star Wars 2013 Winter sets not even released yet, one of the members on the Swedish forum, swebrick.se claims that he has information about the 2013 Star Wars Summer sets from a retailer’s catalog and are rumored to be released in June 2013. This is all speculation since there’s no confirmation at this point in time. Below is a rough Google translation of the post, tidied up a little to make it readable.

– Jabba Sailbarge, about 5-6 minfigs. There is a Jabba and a blue figure. The actual construction of the ship looked sadly much worse than the former 6210 set. There was no round shapes and were narrower and simply much uglier in the design.

– AT-TE, was very similar to the previous models, about 4-5 minfigs. Nothing special that I could discern.

– Republic Gunship, same here was very similar to the previous models, about 4-5 minfigs, nothing special.

LEGO Technic Motorized Tumbler Batmobile

PaweÅ‚ “Sariel” Kmiec, author of The Unofficial LEGO Technic Builder’s Guide and creator of many amazing models, has created one of the most realistic Christopher Nolan Tumbler I’ve seen and one in which fans would beg to see this on LEGO CUUSOO. This remote-controlled Tumbler has many cool features including full independent front suspension as well as live axle rear suspension. The steering mechanism is as real as it can get. While cornering, pieces of the body unfortunately fall off slowly due to the “powerful propulsion system with a soft suspension” of the Tumbler. A nice little touch is the LED-lighted jet engine that is connected to the drivetrain. It even has two spring cannons that is fired remotely. Overall, this is probably the best Tumbler I’ve seen and could possibly pass off as a model in the Dark Knight Trilogy. Check out more details of it on Sariel’s site.

More LEGO Minecraft Sets On The Way

The LEGO Minecraft (21102) set has been a hot selling item this year for LEGO and has been selling out very quickly but some relief might be coming. An article by Forbes states that in a tweet by Mojang CEO Carl Manneh, more LEGO Minecraft sets will be available in stores before the the holiday season. There’s no word on how many sets will be available for sale though. This is great news for individuals who have been wanting a set but couldn’t get a chance to buy one. Keep checking LEGO Shop@Homeicon as well as Jinx to see when they will have them back in stock.
