Once the LEGO brick company and Star Wars movie creator, George Lucas, teamed up to make a range of toys, collectors have gone mad buying, collecting and then building LEGO sets and minifigures.I suppose that a lot of these sets are aimed at the high end builder and collector but no matter what I am sure that anyone, child or adult, would love to have one of these LEGO collectables.The Star Wars sets cover all the movies that have been made and each have a collection of little LEGO Star Wars minifigures with great little details on them.The sets vary a lot with how hard they are to build and how many bricks are included but that doesn't worry the movie fans as they want the minifigures and ships to re-enact their favourite scene from a movie.LEGO first licenced toy deal was these Star Wars collectible sets.The huge interest that Star Wars collectors and movie fans showed ended up being that the company has made more than 200 sets so far and more are coming.There are sets and minifigures based on all the movies - Episode One. The Phantom of the Menace, Episode Two. Attack of the Clones, Episode Three. Revenge of the Sith, Episode Four. A New Hope, Episode Five. The Empire Strikes Back, Episode Six Return of the Jedi, and the newest one The Clone Wars.So there is a set from your favourite episode, mine would be The Empire Strikes Back.The main characters in the movies are available, of course. Luke and Anakin Skywalker, R2-D2, C-3PO, Chewbacca, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Han Solo and Darth Vader, all in minifigure size.They have now reached the tenth anniversary and are celebrating it with specially mark sets with re-released set from 10 years ago.LEGO has also made Ultimate Collector series sets - these are not to minifigure scale but are big with high detail and look fantastic.These USC sets come with authenticity cards and a display stand to show them off.They are the largest sets the LEGO makes.The licensing deal that LEGO and George Lucas has is said to expire sometime around 2013, so making the available sets now even more rare and more popular for collectors.There is even a range of Star Wars games, in LEGO form, out for all the main consoles so this will make the LEGO Star Wars sets stay popular for a long time coming.
