StarWars.com interviews 7754 Home One Mon Calamari Star Cruiser designer Jens Kronvold Frederiksen [News]
We first saw prototypes of LEGO Home One at Toy Fair 2009 a couple months ago, but StarWars.com has an interview with Jens Kronvold Frederiksen, who designed the upcoming LEGO Star Wars set 7754 Home One Mon Calamari Star Cruiser.
The article also includes our first look at high-resolution shots of the box art and minifigs.
In fact, Jens tells StarWars.com that “all the mini-figures except the A-wing pilot are brand new!”
Read the full interview on StarWars.com. For those of you wondering what a “Toys R Us Exclusive” means, it just means that TRU is the only store other than the LEGO Shop online and local LEGO Stores that will carry the set.

“IT’S A TRAP!”
There, I got that out of the way.

^^ I love how the interviewee answered the “IT’S A TRAP” question.
I think this is going to a fun set and not just for the mini figs.

Yeah, looks really neat. New minifigs and particularly love the glisteny heads of Akbar and the other misc Mon Calamari. Big set with lots of moving parts (command chair!) and floor compartment for tools. The green was always my favorite of the A-wings, so nice to see it.

I’m surprised he didn’t say the Death Star hologram was a new piece (Or two new pieces?). Isn’t it new?

Another A-Wing? This is starting to get ridiculous.
Laughing out loud at their choice for Lando’s head.

Actually, the piece used for the hologram is a bionicle piece from 2008, featured in the evil ‘Phantoka’ sets. Anyway, it certainly seems to be a cool set, even though I don’t plan on buying it.

It’s only the third A-Wing, there have been 5 “different” X-Wings.
I love the minifigures, but I will never buy the set.
