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.

Amazon sales include 20-30% off on LEGO Star Wars

UPDATE: the sale on the Clone Walker was short lived; it is no longer valid.

Good morning Amazon! Today you can find some decent sales including the soon to be out of production 8014 Clone Walker Battle Pack for $8.54. In addition, the 8086 Droid Tri-Fighter has been further marked down to $17.54. I take my words back, but I still abide by the belief that these sales could end at any moment.

Unfortunately, you can only buy up to three copies of each, but that’s enough to qualify for free shipping on your order.

Girl identifies Star Wars minifigs with her mouth

A girl appeared on a German TV show to identify Star Wars minifigs, not through any conventional way of referencing Peeron or Bricklink but by using her mouth! I’d say that’s a pretty useful skill to have, don’t you think?

25% off 8086 Droid Tri-Fighter on Amazon

One of the best Star Wars sets to hit shelves in 2010 is the
8086 Droid Tri-Fighter because of its great parts. Now you can get the set for $19 on Amazon, and you should take advantage of their free shipping and tax-free attributes for most states :)

I don’t know how long the sale will last; it could end any moment as with sales from Amazon. It is unlikely that you’ll be able to find this set at 25% off or more in the future. LEGO Star Wars sets rarely make it to clearance before they’re sold out or out of production.

The best ASS model contest

With a title so catchy, I just had to share it on the blog. FBTB’s newest contest asks you to build an Alternate Separatist Shuttle model, oh what else were you thinking? The winner will receive a cool 8088 ARC-170 Starfighter. Head over to FBTB to view the details. The deadline is March 31st.

What the Death Star looks like as a floating rock

Barney Main (SlyOwl) knows our soft spot when he built his entry for the Time Twisters Contest. The association with 10188 Death Star is so obvious and hilarious that you don’t even need to know the rules of the contest to predict this as a likely winner.

30,000-piece Star Wars Droid Control Ship

After two-years in the making, Paul Yperman‘s Droid Control Ship will no doubt enter the ranks of the legendary Star Wars creations. Compared to Thomas Benedikt‘s version, Paul’s build differs in the surface textures of the model. He uses tiles and greebling elements in shades of gray to add realistic-looking details, which really enhances the appearance of this amazing creation.

Twisted? Most certainly.

There are some fantastic entries coming in, for Classic-Castle‘s Time Twisters contest. For a brief re-cap, the idea is take an existing set, and turn your wayback machine a few centuries…or in this case, switch your “fantasy worlds” entirely!
