    This starfighter has been design to be exposed on a small diorama I have build for a French SW convention in Cusset (in the centre of France).

    The Jedi Master is named Kelyan Skyrunner.

    The two lightsabers he owns have been build from two old Jedi relics he found in a old sith temple on Korriban. One is orange and the other is white (glow in the dark).

    Wow. I've never seen hair printing before and hadn't noticed it on the minifigs up until now.

    Oh, and in case anyone's confused, the system's actually comprised of raised bumps so it might be a bit harder to know exactly what you're looking for. The image first shown (also on the front page) shows the bumps after they've been marked. It was a nice try on Lego's part, but it's still not going to help keep confidentiality. :tongue:

    Although I would prefer see-through bags, they might be worse. Last week I managed to get a Spartan from what appeared to be a looted box, and it's possible that whoever last bought from it forgot to take it.

    Tribolego, since I can't pm you, I have to ask you following although this doesn't belong to this topic:

    1. Are there pictures of sets of Lego City sets, too?

    2. If so, are there pictures of 8403 City House (La maison Lego City) and 8404 Public Transport?

    3. If so, can you please take some clear pictures of these sets, too?

    Sorry, It is a Star-Wars promotional so only SW sets photos !

    I just realized that the new AT-AT is a TRU exclusive, as it is pictured with all the other ones.

    It made me realize that sets as iconic as this shouldn't be store exclusives, similar to the most recent X-Wing and Luke's landspeeder. I would imagine that they would sell LOADS more if they were widespread releases, especially the X-Wing, which has been out for almost 5 years now, and is STILL on the S@H best seller list. I can already tell this will be the case with the Landspeeder: it's been on backorder since it was released in January.

    Now sets like the Swamp Speeder, Pirate Tank, Ahsoka's Fighter, Solar Sailer etc. are perfect sets for exclusives, as they are not as well-known, yet still have that coolness/elusiveness factor.

    Does anyone know how the exclusive sets are decided upon, and how it is decided which stores they are exclusive to?

    Normally it's negotiated nationally, so as it's a picture from France it's seems to be sure to be a TRU exclusive in France.

    So to answer, exclusivities are decided with money on the table :classic:

    What's that set on the left? Seems like something from SW theme.

    The gift catalogue is only presenting SW sets. On the left is the Emperor Palpatine's Shuttle

    Thanks for the pictures! :thumbup: Everything looks weird but it seems to be a prelim. Is it me or does it look like Luke has a printed visor? :look: I am kind of dissapointed with the set. They could have had a Hoth Leia and maybe R2.

    It's not preliminary besause the gift catalogue is public (TRU gift in France)

    The photo from the AT-AT came from a French Toys'R'Us gift. All sets from 2010 are on it except the Cad Bane's speeder.

    There is also arts from all the figs you can find in these sets. There is only one At-AT pilot in the AT-AT set.

    If I have time, I will made some scans from all the pages of the little catalogue gift tomorrow at work. You will see them on FreeLUG.org :D
