LEGO Star Wars 2009 7753 Pirate Tank and 7778 Midi-scale Millenium Falcon revealed on StarWars.com [News]
Apparently, StarWars.com is getting all the exclusive details about the upcoming 2009 LEGO Star Wars sets. I didn’t notice when I blogged 7754 Home One Mon Calamari Star Cruiser, but the site also has articles about 7753 Pirate Tank and 7778 Midi-scale Millenium Falcon.
From the Clone Wars animated TV series, 7753 Pirate Tank could be at home in the 2009 LEGO Space Police theme.
The pirate figs (Hondo Ohnaka and Turk Falso, apparently) look unlike any other LEGO Star Wars minifigs I’ve ever seen.
7753 Midi-scale Millenium Falcon is the third fourth scale in which the Millenium Falcon has been released, following 7190 and 4504 at minifig-scale, 4488 at mini-scale, and 10179 at UCS scale.
Read the interviews with Jens Kronvold Frederiksen in the articles about the Falcon and tank on StarWars.com.

“7753 Midi-scale Millenium Falcon is the third scale in which the Millenium Falcon has been released, following 7190 and 4504 at minifig-scale, 4488 at mini-scale, and 10179 at UCS scale.”
Doesn’t that make it the fourth scale? Mininifig — Micro — UCS — and now “Midi”.

Correct. Apparently, I can’t count past three today. :-D

Black epaulettes! Finally!
That whole set looks great. But actually I’m not joking, I’ve been wanting some black epaulettes forever.

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Roll pop? 1-2-3- *Crunch!* Three. :)
This set is really… interesting and not very Star Wars-y. Oh that’s correct it’s a prequel set, so it isn’t real Star Wars. :)

5th scale for the Falcon, surely ? The ‘bag charm’ is quite a lot smaller than the MINI set.
