LEGO Star Wars is one of the most popular LEGO themes of all time. Far beyond X-wings and TIE fighters, there’s a whole expanded universe of inspiration, and an army of LEGO fans ready to build whatever comes out of George Lucas’s head next.
In November of 2007 Mike unleashed perhaps the greatest Star Wars creation of all time, everyone’s favorite obese X-Wing pilot and his trusty ”keg-droid” sidekick B3-3R. For my money, this this model perfectly symbolizes Mike’s inventive building style and clever sense of humor.
Jerac‘s TIE fighter is a realistic and elegant take on the iconic Star Wars ship. The combination of the round corner bricks and the printed dish makes for the best cockpit design I’ve seen for the TIE.
My local toy store is stocking up on the first wave of 2013 sets, so I’ll be reviewing several in the near future as I get time. Today, though, I’ll start with one of the new Star Wars sets, the 75002 AT-RT. With 222 pieces, it’s actually quite a steal with an MSRP of USD Continue reading →
Some of next year’s LEGO Star Wars sets are out a couple weeks early on Amazon.com. They’ve also discounted a bunch more LEGO sets. First up, 75005 Rancor Pit comes with Luke, Rancor keeper, and Gamorrean guard minifigs, plus the monstrous Rancor. The set has 380 pieces and goes for $59.99. Amazon had also briefly Continue reading →
Amazon currently has the LEGO Star Wars Super Star Destroyer 10221 on sale at $309.99. If you have an Amazon Visa, you can use the code TOY20OFF for en extra $20 off. This is the lowest price that I’ve seen the set go for on Amazon, and there’s no guarantees how long it will stay Continue reading →
I love Ewoks! When I was but a wee lad, I would run around the forest with a stick pretending I was on Endor. I even named my parents’ dog Wicket :) So seeing Eric Druon’s (Baronsat) recent LEGO Star Wars creation just had me smilin’. He is just too darn cute :D
As Ace rightly guessed over at FBTB, Amazon.com has followed the lead of another store and discounted 10188 Death Star 15%, which works out to $60 off ($340 instead of $400). With free shipping and no tax in most states, it’s a pretty sweet deal (if you don’t balk at $340 on a four-year-old LEGO Continue reading →
Anio‘s UCS-style Sebulba’s Podracer fits well with Lego’s UCS Star Wars models. This creation was built last year but the photos are new.
It would appear that Brian Kescenovitz (mondayn00dle) has similar feelings on Battle Droids and Jar Jar Binks that I do. Good to see that they will get their just deserts! It also must be noted that the alien is constructed with some unique top notch techniques!
The Star Wars Advent Calendar, featuring the adorable Santa Maul, is currently 20% off at Lego.com. I have no idea how long this is going to last so you had better grab one quick before they are gone. Also, don’t forget that you get double VIP points through the end of October and free shipping Continue reading →
The first high-res photos of upcoming LEGO Star Wars sets for 2013 have been posted by Jeroen_K. Good news if you like dark red. :)
Bored at work? Take a break and solve this maze by Dave Benson. In this custom Star Wars board game, the goal is to reach your opponent’s corner by moving based on the dice roll. It’s simple and well-presented.
The 10227 B-wing Starfighter comes out on October 1st. Here’s the first review of the set posted on FBTB by Ace.
This is the STAR WARS: RETURN OF THE JEDI Chess set. It is the 3rd and final installment in a series of three LEGO Star Wars chess sets that Brandon Griffith built in celebration of the Original Star Wars Trilogy. Check out the other two sets; A NEW HOPE and THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK Will Continue reading →
Nick D.M. (AKA DarthNick) just came out of hyperspace with two AMAZING Chibi Star Wars models! Not only does his Chibi X-Wing and TIE Fighter capture that unique playful style, they are also minifig compatible and remain faithful to the original designs of the ships.
