We've has confirmation from Mister X ;) "Hm, I've seen DS - it's a large gray ball, with unfinished half. It has that "supergun" with green flames (I can't remember the name for the large disc ;-) ) Missed completely the point of that set. Sandcrawler is a large brown thingo. It's not clear brown, the walls are made from mixed colors. It basically looks like a box on treads. I haven't seen all the figs though. Seems large, but again, not so much sexy. Regarding the minis, I've seen 3 or 4, but since I'm writing from low-end laptop, I don't have the stuff 'on my fingertips' ;-) to look up the numbers and names." It's good to know this info is true :-D

Over on FBTB, jungle1006 asked whether he was allowed to post info on two new Star Wars sets but the mods said no. So after a PM I found out the following information. Someone showed him a catalogue at a store which had two new sets, a Sandcrawler and a UCS Death Star. The Sandcrawler came with 3 Jawas, R2D2 and C3P0. If he remembers correctly, the UCS Death Star costed $300. I'd like to see the Sandcrawler (who wouldn't) but I'd be a disappointed if it only came with those figs (maybe there were more droids hidden inside?). I don't fancy paying $300 for a giant ball though, so I'd prefer it to be a Death Star II, although I'm still not sure if I'd get that for the price.

Well he said it was an official catalogue, but then there seems to be no reason for him not to take one.

Why didn't you take one of the catalogues with you?

I think this set looks pretty good. It's a bit too wide, but it couldn't really have been made any thinner. The cockpit looks good I think. What other MINIs do you think we could get? Maybe a Tri-Droid, ARC-170 and Turbo Tank?

Thanks for the news Sting! I've got lots of questions ;) Sting, what exactly is an Exlpore Store? Is it just like a normal Lego Store? And what kind of catalogue was it? Was it an official catalogue or a staff one? What was the rest of the Durmstrang ship like? What figures did it include? What else was included in the dragon set apart from the dragon? And what figs? What is in the Graveyard Showdown except the figs? What does the graveyard look like? That's all ;)

Rebelscum asked Lego whether this set will be available at retail and Lego said it will only be available at S@H and TRU.

On page 30-31 of the new Online S@H Catalogue you can see a new MINI Jedi Starfighter from Episode III. Will this be part of a new line of MINIs? Hopefully we'll find out soon.

Thanks for the pics, it looks excellent! I love the new Emperor!

It's $50.

I'm guessing this is going to be

Well at the moment you can buy it in every country except the UK :/

Tis set's been added to the list in "Classic" list on S@H in Europe, so it should be available for us soon.

Yes, until April.

Is it just me or do the Imperial guards have dark markings near the top of their torso that weren't on the original versions?

Well the report said it was two Original Trilogy sets coming in August.

We've heard that there are two OT sets coming out in August, so perhaps this is one of them? Hopefully the other will be something completely new.

So . . . Nuremberg Toy Fair tomorrow :-D I really hope they show the Vikings.

Hopefully this will set Lego on a trend of releasing sets with lots of figures, but it probably won't ;)

The page has been taken down. Here's a picture of it though: http://assets.lego.com/images/shop/prod/72...000-XX-13-1.jpg And here's a screenshot of the page: http://www.brickshelf.com/gallery/Flail/Stuff/7264.jpg

There's a new set on S@H called Imperial Inspection. It comes with 10 minifigures - Emperor, Darth Vader, 2 Royal Guards, 2 Imperial Officers and 4 Stormtroopers! I hope it's actually a NEW set, and not just a combination of other sets. I don't have an Imperial Shuttle yet, so I might get it when it comes out in the UK. http://shop.lego.com/product.asp?p=7264&cn=4&d=5&t=3 Thanks to ed_dotcom on FBTB for the news.

It DOES look a little different. The bit that goes over the top of his head in the middle looks a little wider, and the eyes and mouth look bigger. It could have been photoshopped to look a little different for the picture maybe?

Thanks for the info. These sets have got excellent prices, especially the big crane.

They won't be at the Nuremberg Toy Fair though, only the American one, which is on the 20th.

I also thing the dragons look very cool, much better than the old ones.
