I haven't bought a Lego set in years but I always get a kick out seeing what they are doing with the Star Wars franchise. Like many retailers this year Lego seemed to be a bit scaled back as far as the depth of offerings in each of their franchises. What they had out though was pretty spectacular...
The Millennium Falcon is making a return (I think they've done this set before...) and I must say I am really tempted to get this one. Why didn't they make Lego's like this when I was a kid?
The Republic Frigate is getting the Lego treatment this year. Includes 5 minifigs!
A Bounty Hunter Assault Ship from The Clone Wars had everyone drooling.
A Sith Infiltrator might be another must get for me as no-one has really ever made a nice toy of this design in proper scale to the figures.
The pod racers from Episode 1 get a remake.
Imperial V-Wing deco fighter is joining the lineup as well.
The Battle of Naboo gets a playset with the addition of the Droid Troop Transport set. I like how the battle droids fold up and fit inside.
Geonosian Starfighter
Jedi T-6 Shuttle from The Clone Wars makes an appearance this season. Again this one was really popular with all the Collectors as the Lego breakfast.
And last but not least to round out the display we get some battlepacks to army build with. A Clone Trooper Battle Pack and a Mandalorian Battle Pack were on display.

1 comment postedI already have my eyes set on the Bounty Hunter ship and T-6 shuttle for review here. Think I'll stick with my special-edition Republic Cruiser though; that Frigate is looking a little too kit-bashed/Corellian Corvette for my taste.
Ooh- updated podracers! w00t
(*eyes Sithfiltrator cautiously*)
Ugh, another Millennium Falcon set??? I'm not saying don't make it because I don't like her, but give us a break; they have a set running all the time, skipping from old to new without a break! Sheesh...
