In the last month, at Annual Toy Fairs around the world, LEGO have unveiled the next wave of releases in their popular Star Wars line.Due for release in August 2010 the LEGO sets are a mix of old and new with brand new sets and re-releases from the Original trilogy, the Prequel Trilogy and the Clone Wars.One of the main draws of any new Star Wars set is the new minifigures and this wave doesn't disappoint.Along with new sculpts of Boba Fett (with more authentic blue jumpsuit coloring), Han Solo in Carbonite and General Grievous there are previously unreleased minifigures of Aalya Secura, Empire Strikes Back bounty hunter Bossk and Clone Wars villain Cad Bane.The sets themselves are also a mixture of new models and old.As usual the focus is on vehicles but the addition of a play set will also appeal to fans.With 297 pieces, model 8089, The Hoth Wampa Set combines the new figure of the powerful Wampa with a redesign of the snowspeeder.This is the third interpretation of the snowspeeder, it has been previously released twice in standalone sets and once in another Hoth play set.The Hoth Wampa set also comes with Luke Skywalker in Hoth gear (ready to be suspended in the Wampa's meat freezer) and a snowspeeder pilot and will retail for $39.99.The re-release of Boba Fett's Slave 1 includes the third version of Slave 1 to be released as well as the figures of Boba Fett, Bossk and Han Solo.The latter includes a Carbonite mould that can be attached to the Han Solo figure and carried by two other figures.The redesign of Slave One looks to be a huge improvement over previous versions.Boba Fett's Slave 1 has been released twice before and the latest version, model 8097, is more screen-accurate in both colors and design.It will retail for $79.99.Model 8096 is Emperor Palpatine's Shuttle as seen in Episode Three, where it was used to rescue a scarred and burned Anakin Skywalker after his battle with Obi Wan Kenobi.The Shuttle is a first time release from LEGO and includes figures of The Emperor, Anakin in transition to cyborg Darth Vader, a shuttle pilot and a medical droid.The vehicle will have 592 pieces and will retail for $59.99.Model 8095 is another re-release, General Grievous Starfighter.With 454 pieces it comes with 3 figures a beautifully designed General Grievous, a medical droid and Bant Eerin.A Mon Calamari, Bant Eerin is Kit Fisto's padawan and met his demise in the Clone Wars Season one episode The Lair Of General Grievous.As mentioned previously the General Grievous minifig is a huge improvement on previous Episode 3 sets and this figure will no doubt be highly sought after on the sets release.The General Grievous Starfighter will retail for $49.99.Set 8093 is Plo Koon's Starfighter a debut model in LEGO.Plo Kloon was a renowned pilot and famously met his demise in Episode Three after being shot down by fellow clone pilots after Order 66.The starfighter set is 175 pieces and includes the figures of Plo Kloon and his astromech droid.The fighter itself is a beautiful blue and white design reminiscent of the Jedi Starfighters from Episode two.Set 8093 will retail for $24.99.The last set for this late 2010 wave of Star Wars LEGO sets is the re-release of the Clone Turbo Tank.Released around the time of Episode Three, the original set came with Mace Windu and clone troopers but this newest release gives us a Clone wars TV series theme.Figures include two new designs-Clone wars villain Cad Bane and Jedi Master Aalya Secura.Other figures in this set include Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, and two clone troopers.The Clone Wars Turbo Tank will have 1141 pieces, making it the largest set of this wave and indeed of the years so far.The Turbo Tank also comes with a clone walker that can deploy from the tank and the set will retail for $119.August cannot come too soon for fans of the highly popular Star Wars LEGO licence and although the release dates give plenty of time to ponder and over-anticipate the details of each set it also allows ample time to save!

Star Wars LEGO Review - Set 8087 Tie Defender
As part of Lego's first Star Wars wave for 2010 this model is featured briefly in Episode Six, Return Of the Jedi.The Tie Defender was an extension of the basic tie fighter used by the Empire in episodes four and five, the defender developed shortly before the battle of Endor as seen in Episode six.The Tie Defender had the added benefit of a hyperdrive as well as deflector shields so it could operate beyond the short range of regular tie fighters.With 304 pieces and two minifigures this set is the second largest in this first 2010 wave.It comes with a regular stormtrooper and a Tie pilot and the vehicle is impressive size given the amount of pieces in the model.It measures over 8" (20cm) tall and over 9" (22cm) wide.The opening cockpit can spin and the ship has four flick fire missiles to rid the skies of any Rebel fighters.The set retails for $49.99 which is commensurate with other sets in this wave, being slightly more expensive per piece than other sets from last year.It is a fun set - with the spinning function and the ability to hold the ship it has a high swooshability factor.Collectors will not be attracted to the set because of the figures this time because they are both fairly standard reissues of minifigs that have been released previously.Yet the fact that this is the first time this cool ship, barely seen in the movies, has been made into LEGO will be a big draw.Overall a good set, despite the high price point and low awareness of its place in the Star Wars canon, but it may end up being a set that people choose to purchase at the end of the LEGO season at a significant discount.

| 33 of 34 people found the following review helpful  Lego Grievous star fighter, = Durability: = Fun: = Educational: Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: LEGO Star Wars General Grievous Starfighter (8095) (Toy) The Lego Grievous star fighter is a very durable, playful, and fun to build model. There are many interesting features on the star fighter and minifigures. The star fighter has four rockets that come out of the "wings", two on both sides. It also has a bomb that is located on the bottom of the fighter that is released by hand and will drop to the floor. My favorite part is the sliding cockpit that closes and opens. However, be aware that none of Grievous' lightsabers, or gun, or extra arms will fit into the cockpit. There is also a manually moving tail fin which is vertical when flying and horizontal when landed. General Grievous has 4 arms and 4 lightsabers plus a gun. The set also comes with a jedi named Nadaar Vebb from the Star Wars: The Clone Wars t.v. series and a medical droid of Grievous'. Lastly the set comes with a swivel chair for Grievous to sit in and be repaired by his droid and a rack for his lightsabers and gun. There is only one little thing that is wrong with the set... Read more 12 of 14 people found the following review helpful  Awesome, = Durability: = Fun: = Educational: This review is from: LEGO Star Wars General Grievous Starfighter (8095) (Toy) I got this toy because I liked the awesome General Grevious that came with it, the ship is in amazing detail with cool flick missals and a sweet tracking missal, the new jedi that came with the set is awesome. I think that this set should be built by intermidiate and above. I would recomend [ASIN:B003F7WLAM LEGO Star Wars Plo Koon's Jedi Starfighter (8093)]] to go with this set. 8 of 11 people found the following review helpful another nice lego toy, = Durability: = Fun: = Educational: Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: LEGO Star Wars General Grievous Starfighter (8095) (Toy) My son is almost 5. He was able to build this on his own with my limited guidance. He enjoyed it a lot. |
