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.

Hammerhead cruiser from the Old Sith Wars

Steef de Prouw (mediocre) presents a lesser well-known ship from the Star Wars universe based on the Harbinger. The hammerhead shape is as distinctive as it is hard to build, featuring techniques such as half plate offsets to replicate the narrowing tips of the hammer shape. You can read more about this 122 stud long SHIP on MOCpages.

10212 Imperial Shuttle out, LEGO Harry Potter pre-order + free shipping [News]

The large-scale LEGO Star Wars set 10212 Imperial Shuttle unveiled at BrickWorld in June is now available from the LEGO Shop.

The set includes 5 minifigs and 2503 pieces, and costs 260 USD.

The Harry Potter book series may have come to a conclusion, but the movies continue, with the first half of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows due out later this year. LEGO still has the Harry Potter license, and will be releasing a full line of sets on October 1st (the night of the LEGO Store event at BrickCon, by the way). For those of you not joining us in person, you can pre-order the LEGO Harry Potter sets today.

The fourth LEGO incarnation of Hogwarts Castle (4842) includes 10 minifigs and appears to be modular like the previous versions.

I’m personally most excited by the six new minifigs in 4840 The Burrow:

Again, the full line of six sets is available for pre-order now, and will ship on October 1. (The video games and board game are all available now.)

Finally, LEGO has free shipping on $75 or more from now through September 19th.

Imperial probe droid scouts the surface of Hoth

Phil Memmer built an UCS-style model of the probe droid, making good use of the quarter saucer pieces. The detailed mechanical arms are simply fascinating to look at.

Toy Story + Star Wars = Toy Wars

When Okay Yaramanoglu used Lego Toy Story minifigs to create Star Wars characters, the result is both startling and hilarious. See if you can identify who is who in this photo. You can find the answers in Okay’s Flickr photostream.

LEGO at Star Wars Celebration V

Star Wars + Space Invaders

Equals Chris McVeigh’s (powerpig) latest creation. I wonder how many points you get for shooting an Imperial Royal Guard. Check out the details to see more angles.

8128 Cad Bane’s Speeder has five minifigs, including some dude with a really funky hat.
