Summer 2009 LEGO sets out now: Star Wars, Indy, Grand Carousel, etc. [News]
LEGO Space Police, Agents 2.0 and other third-quarter/summer 2009 LEGO sets have been out for a month or so, but the rest of the new sets are now available from the LEGO Shop online.
First up, 10196 Grand Carousel incorporates Power Functions and plays music. The set is also the first to feature tan beards.
New LEGO Star Wars sets feature vehicles from the Clone Wars, including 8037 Anakin’s Y-Wing Starfighter and the Venator
playset.
Other new LEGO Star Wars sets include:
- 7748 Corporate Alliance Tank Droid
with a pair of Clone Troopers wearing jet packs.
- 8036 Separatist Shuttle
The newest magnet sets make buying rare LEGO Star Wars minifigs affordable, including the LEGO® Star Wars™ 10th Anniversary Stormtrooper™ Magnet for $10. I call him “Chromy”.
The latest LEGO Indiana Jones sets take us back to the classic trilogy.
Finally, trolls and dwarves from the current LEGO Castle theme get their own Battle Packs.

Hmm, in my Lego catalogue, at the picture of the Carousel the tan beards look gold.

@All: Talking to the manager of my local LEGO Store today, these were apparently not supposed to go live on the website yet. The brick-and-mortar stores haven’t even received the shipments of most of these items. Might explain some of the backordered items (the warehouse also might not have received its complete shipment).
@Optimystic: Not in this photo. You can see the gold flag on the top, which is a distinctly different color from the beards.

I for one am breathing a sigh of relief that we will in fact be getting the SP impulse sets in the US. :D

All sets have become available in the Netherlands – probably they’re out in most countries now.
