Star Wars Lego Collectables for Christmas

Look at this wonderful Star Wars Lego scene someone has made. It is a Christmas nativity scene made out of Lego blocks from Star Wars sets and a fantastic Lego Santa sleigh from Star Wars minifigures. Lego themselves should release something like this at Christmas time, I am sure they would sell a million of these Star Wars minifigue sets.

Star Wars Lego Collectables wishes everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all.

Lego 8010 Darth Vader Star Wars Collectable Figure

I am not a great fan of the Lego Star wars Technic versions of Star Wars (they also have sets to build a Storm Trooper – looks a bit goofy, R2D2, C-3PO and others) – but once I saw a completed build of the super villain in Star Wars , the dark Sith called – Darth Vader I changed my mind. The 8010 Darth Vader set is from the year 2002 has around 400 Technic pieces comes with a real cloth cape and plenty of moving parts and a really cool Lightsaber. Darth Vaders head and helmet looks fantastic! Originally it was around the $40 mark but now it sells for at least a hundred more.

But this is not for the beginner Lego Star wars builder. The directions to build Lord Vader are advanced and the parts a little hard to construct. Considering how simple it is to put together most of the Lego Star Wars sets, this Technic Darth Vader 8010 kit should presents a bit of a challenge for some children (and adults too I suppose) who love building Lego but want to move to the next level.

“He’s more machine now … twisted and evil” That’s what Old Ben Kenobi (Obi Wan Kenobi) told Luke in the great Star Wars movie Return of the Jedi when he was describing Darth Vader “But I can still feel good in him”. But he could’ve been talking about the Lego Star Wars: Darth Vader 8010 set. Fantastic .. hard to build but a great set, a real  Lego Star wars collectible.!

2009 Lego Star Wars - 8014 Clone Walker Battle Pack

Another nice unreleased kit. This Star Wars Lego set will be out around Feb 2009 and will be one set that is usually about the $15 range. The 8014 Clone Walker Battle Pack has a neat looking little Star Wars walker and four really good Clones.

It has three standard Clone Troopers, one with great accessories and one fantastic Clone Gunner minifigures . The Gunner mini figure has a standard Clone Wars helmet but it has a large black Republic symbol on the sides, with gold surrounding them and the body has the usual chest imprint but with an added triangle symbol and grey arms instead of white.

Nice and a worthy minifigure collectible. I am guessing that this will be a rare Star Wars Lego minifigure to collect.

Latest 2009 Star Wars Lego Set - 8019 Republic Attack Shuttle

It is not a bad looking Star Wars Lego set, I like the dark red bricks and the lego minifigures that are included are Mace Windu looking like he does in the Clone Wars and not the previous sets, one Clone Pilot, and one Clone Trooper. The Lego ship is pretty much like the Republic Attack Shuttle in the clone wars movie, well close for being made out of Lego.

Some nice new Star Wars Lego Collectable sets are coming. The new 8019 Republic Attack Shuttle set is meant to be released at the start of 2009 under Star Wars The Clone Wars Lego line.

This is all pre release sets but I think it will be the final form now.

Slave 1 Lego Star Wars Instructions

If anyone is after some instructions on how to build the Slave 1 Star Wars Lego kit (it is number 7153 not the 7144 Slave 1 Lego set) well here it is straight from Lego themself. I am pretty sure it would suit both sets as the 7153 is just a re-release of the original 7144 Slave 1.

I hope it helps you out, Lego has many instructions for sets available as free downloads for people that lose their printed instructions.
This Star Wars Lego set is pretty good but I like the older green 7144 set with Lego Star Wars Mini-Figure Han Solo frozen in a Carbonite Block.

And here is a super fast time lapse video of a build of the Star Wars Lego Slave 1, pretty good hey?

7681 Separatist Spider Droid Star Wars Lego Collectables

This 7681 Separatist Spider Droid is an excellent Star Wars Lego Collectable! It has four legs, medium and heavy guns, three battle droids minifigures (they have different arm to others), a Clone Trooper minifigure, the really cool looking and rare Commander Fox minifigure in his ARC trooper gear.
All in all the Separatist Spider Droid is very, very good.

The 7681 Separatist Spider Droid can stand on its own very easily, but its legs are a little wobbly so it may lean over on one side. This is probably because the Separatist Spider Droid lego looks extremely similar the one in Star Wars The Clone Wars movie that is just out, so it has to have skinny legs.
This is a great set considering the minifigures but a little expensive - get it when Lego has 20% off.

New Star Wars Lego Sets Released 7676 Republic Gunship

Below are some photos of the newest Star Wars Lego sets released. There are quite a few of them, the fantastic 7676 Republic Starship is one of them. This heavily armed troop transporter is part of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars movie.
It has great parts like the 2 cockpits in front and the 2 on the wings open, missiles, and a cool Star Wars Speeder Bike that comes out of the back hatch. This great Lego set includes five Lego minifigures to collect: Commander Cody, Clone Trooper, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and two new Star Wars Lego minifigures, Plo Koon and Asajj Ventress, a Sith equipped with a new double lightsaber.
As you can see it's a big set , look at the size of the box. My boy loves it, he wouldn't let this Star wars Lego collectable set out of is hands.

Rarest Lego Star Wars item - Vaders Mask, the best collectable

I was reading over at Yahoo Answers and someone asked what the rarest Lego piece would be. Well this is a Star Wars Lego Collectables blog so for this I was thinking maybe the Boba Fett minifigure from the Cloud City set. This photo shows the difference between the regular Boba Fett minifigure and the super rare one.But, to be honest, the absolute rarest Star Wars Lego piece would be this - the protype piece for the Darth Vader Helmet! For some reason Lego makes the prototypes in red plastic, maybe it makes them stand out, I don't really know why.
Sorry about the photo, it is the best I have. And, of course, it was never for sale and impossible to get!
So there you have it - my choice of the rarest Star Wars Lego Collectable piece!

New Unreleased Death Star 10188 | Star Wars Lego Collectables

Lego is releasing a fantastic new Death Star set in September. I like it much better than the Death Star II, I never liked that model. This Death Star is more a diorama style set with little scenes from Star Wars Episodes IV and VI!

It has the Death Star control room, a hangar bay with TIE Advanced starfighter, the Emperor’s throne room, Imperial conference chamber, detention block, droid maintenance area, tractor beam controls with the powerful Death Star superlaser , the scene where Luke and Leia swing across the chasm , Luke, Chewie and Han Solo in danger with the trash compactor about to crush them - and with the Dianoga trash compactor monster - and the best part .. Lukes duel with Darth Vader and the Emperor!

This set has, amazingly, 25 different minifigures and droids - yes 25!!! Some will be very rare minifigures worth collecting. I know Yoda should not be in the Death Star scenes but I would have liked one.
All over this is one mighty set that any Star Wars Lego Collector would love to have, the only thing I don't like is the price $400!!! I actually would like some scenes like these in smaller kits - especially the Chasm and Trash compactor.
Have a look at these super pre-release photos and see what you favourite Star Wars part in Lego is.

7661 Jedi Starfighter | Star Wars Lego Collectables

The Lego 7661 Jedi Starfighter with Hyperdrive Booster Ring kit, I am guessing, is based on the Episode III Jedi Starfighter that Obi-Wan used. The set has 575 pieces - most of them is for the Hyperdrive Booster Ring that is a very long and very repetitive build. When built, the ring is very solid, I thought it would be a problem of falling apart all the time but it's all good.

The Starfighter is much the same as Anakins, except in blue (Anakins is yellow). It a great looking ship, I love the way the wings fold out. The ship clips onto the Hyperdrive Booster Ring really well, and stays put but you can take it off easy.
The set has two mini-figures, Obi Wan Kenobi and, for the first time, Kit Fisto. The Kit Fisto minifigure is rare so makes a good Lego collectable.

My son got this last Christmas and really likes this set but making it was pretty boring. This is great Star Wars Lego collectables set that provides some good playability and a really rare Kit Fisto minifigure.

6212 X-Wing Fighter Star Wars Lego Collectables

This Star Wars Lego Collectables set is an excellent Lego kit of one of Star Wars best spaceships. It is fairly big model and has a good level of detail in it. Star Wars Lego 6212 comes with a heap of Lego minifigures, including Wedge Antilles (first time - Rare Star Wars Lego minifigure), Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo (looks great with printed trousers), Chewbacca (yippie, I have Chewie!) and R2-D2 ! This set also lets you change some of the ship's marking, so you can convert it from Luke's X-Wing to Wedge's X-Wing - meaning the X-Wing can be either Luke Skywalkers Red Five or Wedges Red Three X-wing!.

The Lego 6212 X Wing Fighter has wings that move up and down via a turning dial in the back. This gives you more control of where you want the wings to sit, so you can pose it however you want, it works really well. There is also a place to store the lightsaber and the cockpit is hinged so you can open it.

I think this is the best X-Wing Fighter yet, probably because of the minifigures and the price is pretty good too, $69 at any local toy store - for a big model with six Star Wars Minifigures . It has 437 Lego pieces and took my son a few hours to build. It is a great Star Wars Lego model and great to collect.

7657 AT-ST Star Wars Lego Collectables

The 7657 AT-ST Star wars Lego Collectables set is from 2007 and is a pretty good set especially for it's price.
The Lego set has minimal colours, light grey, dark grey and black and not much else. There is gearing so the top can rotate like it is searching for enemy Ewoks! The legs are fantastic, very posable and well made.Going back up to the top, the inside of the cockpit has only room for one pilot and the pilot can be positioned to look out of the view ports!
The Star Wars Lego AT-ST Pilot minifig look pretty good with goggles and chin strap printed on the minifig and the helmet is a new design same as is the body. You also get a new design Imperial blasters for the pilot to blast away.
Overall a very good Star Wars Lego Collectables worth getting.

7667 Imperial Dropship with four minifigures

The 7667 Imperial Dropship was released at the start of 2008. The set was sold for AUD$19.99 and contains 81 pieces. This set includes four great minifigures - 3 stormtroopers and a shadow stormtrooper equiped with 2 guns and 2 rifles . My son loves these four mini-figures

Equipped with forward-firing laser cannons and carrying three stormtroopers, the 7667 Imperial Dropship, piloted by a shadow trooper, is designed to sweep down to the battlefield and drop off the detachable troop platform then fly away.

Close up photos of new Star Wars Minifigures

Here are some close up photos of the new minifigures that will come with the Star Wars sets in August 2008 ( here and here ). These are pre production but this looks like the final thing.
The 7673 MagnaGuard Starfighter has General Grievous' elite personal bodyguards - MagnaGuard minifigures from Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
7676 Republic Gunship, all the gunship's minifigs are brand new, including one episode II clone trooper, Obi-Wan Kenobi (clone trooper armor), Asajj Ventress (with Skirt), Plo Koon and Commander Cody with pauldron and visor on helmet.
7675 AT-TE Walker, has 2 clone troopers, a Battle Droid on STAP, Anakin Skywalker, the Togruta padawan Ashoka and Rotta minifigures.

Clear photos of pre-production Star Wars Lego - Gunship, AT-TE and V-19 Torrent

I have a few nice and clear photos of the pre production Star Wars Lego kits that are coming out mid 2008, images of the 7676 Republic Gunship, 7675 AT-TE Walker, and the 7674 V-19 Torrent Starfighter. The Walker and Gunship look great.

7200 Final Duel I

This Star Wars Lego collectable is of a great moment in the Star Wars movies - Sitting in his throne room, Emperor Palpatine awaits Luke Skywalker's arrival. The Emperor's plan will soon be complete. Along with Darth Vader, he will bring Luke over to the dark side...
A great little set (although it cost me a fair bit) with Emperor Palpatine (fairly rare)and Darth Vader.
7201 Final Duel II completes the story.

7672 - Rogue Shadow

This is my latest Star Wars Lego kit - it is the 7672 - Rogue Shadow and part of the new Star Wars the Force Unleashed series.
It is a pretty big kit, it comes with two instruction booklets and 482 pieces. It is a fairly hard ship to build, the wings are very hard to align correctly.
This super kit has three Star Wars mini-figures - a great Battle Damaged Darth Vader, Imperial officer and pilot Juno Eclipse and Darth Vaders Apprentice - WOW! Click the photos for huge versions to see all the detail!

7144 Slave I

No Star Wars Lego collection would be complete without Boba Fett's spaceship, the Slave 1, that you saw in Episode V The Empire Strikes Back. The wings and the guns swivel around so that it can look appropriate for landing and flight mode. This Lego set came out in the year 2000.

The Boba Fett mini figure fits neatly into the cockpit and it also comes with a frozen in carbonite Han Solo that also fits into the rear of the Slave 1 ship! The Boba Fett minifig has his jetpack and helmet in one piece - removing the helmet reveals a solid black head beneath and the little LEGO Han Solo encased in carbonite brings a smile to my face every time I see it.

Very cool and worth the money. A great addition for anyone that is into Star Wars Lego Collectables.

More photos of pre-release 2008 Star Wars Lego
