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.

News: More Mid-2007 Sets at Nuremburg Toy Fair

Pictures from the Nuremburg Toy Fair have shown up on Brickshelf. We’ve seen pictures of most of these sets already, and known most of them were in the pipeline, but it’s nice to see pictures — and there are a couple surprises.

EDIT: Looks like the pictures have been moved or deleted, and the folder itself is currently not public. I’ll add pictures again once they become available.

Reto Geiger’s Droid Trifighter

And straight out from the Star Wars movies, we have Reto Geiger’s Droid Trifighter:

Reto is well known in the community as a master of the UCS-scale, which basically means that he is great at building realistic replicas of the ships from the movies. Check out his UCS gallery for more examples of that.

Matt De Lanoy’s Mos Eisley diorama

Matt De Lanoy, aka Pepa Quin, impress us all with a diorama he showed at a recent LEGO exhibition called Brickfest. It is just wicked. Besides having a good amount of details, it is also motorized so that a bunch of vehicles can run around on it! Here is a gallery with pictures of it, and there is also a complementary video on YouTube showing it in action. Good stuff.

X-Rayed LEGO

Have you ever wondered what an X-ray of LEGO would look like? Neither have I, which is why Brickshelfer Menoriel’s new gallery of ghostly images is so fascinating. Here’s what Obi-Wan and Darth look like under those crazy invisible rays (click for more):

FBTB R-Wing: C-22 by Mike Psiaki

I can’t say I’m tired of all the sleek fighters in what is turning out to be a really fun contest, but Mike Psiaki’s entry is just plain different:

With hardly any big sloped pieces in sight, Mike uses very few pieces found in current sets. Different is good.

FBTB R-Wing by Legohaulic

Okay, I’m on page 7 — I promise I’m almost done. Here’s Legohaulic’s entry:

FBTB R-Wing: RXS-7 by Dennis Coh

I didn’t mean to negate the coolness of Dennis Coh’s FBTB contest entry in my previous post by only blogging the minifig. The R-wing itself is pretty darn cool:
