I've already posted this, on the front page and here (bottom of the page). :P

Two more sets up: Police Station Enzo Ferrari (It's no there yet, but it's listed in the "What's New" section, so it should be up very soon.

The RotS minifigs havve been confirmed on Rebelscum. Ignore the comment about "Detailed examination of reports from various LEGO fan sites", as he has said in the forums that this is all first hand info. Here's the list: What I think: - I'm surprised that they did a battle scarred Anakin, and the medical droid sounds interesting - We get two new Wookiees and a Spider Droid :-D - Quite a lot of figs in the Wookiee Catamaran set for its price. I'm very surprised by the Luminara Unduli fig (here's a pic of her) - Mace Windu :-D

So he comes in the Clone Turbo Tank? Thought so! Another excuse to get the set then :-D

Good news. There's also the new Racers, the Technic Excavator, and the new Designer sets, inluding Gear Grinders, which hasn't been released in America yet.

Confirmation from Rebelscum that he will have a light-up lightsaber:

Well it's good that the lightsabers can cross, but not good that the batteries can't be changed. But I guess you could just phone up Lego and they would send you a new one.

This was posted in the Rebelscum forums by an Admin. So I'm guessing he has official inside information on this. Anyway, in a thread called "LEGO Mace Windu", he said: I wonder what he'll come in? Maybe an Episode III set? Whatever, at least we're getting one. All though there's bound to be loads of complaints if he comes with one of the new non-removable light-up lightsabers ;)

If the hand is un-moveable, how can we make them duel? It doesn't bother me that much, it's just a but annoying. Jindroush, how do you get to the battery to replace it once it runs out?

The SW Lego website has a little preview of the light-up lighsabers! http://www.lego.com/starwars/home.asp?x=x&bhcp=1 They look pretty cool, except the lightsaber looks a bit different.

They usually release a couple of Harry Potter sets the year after the film comes out, like last year they released two shops. They released three Spider-man sets last year as well, which came out about a year after the film. So you never know. But Lego have a licence with Sony, not Marvel. So they should be able to keep making sets.

I think we'll see the Episode III set pics at the end of January or the beginning of February, and we will definitely have seen the OT sets by Toy Fair. At least I hope so :)

The exclusive is more likely to be a UCS though. The sets coming out in Autumn are going to be System scale. I'm really hoping for a Sandcrawler or a Sailbarge, but I doubt we'll get both at the same time, since they would probably both be quite expensive.

Rebelscum have posted a list of what Star Wars sets we should be getting in 2005. There will be 13 Star wars sets in 2005: - 2 in January (these will be the Jedi Starfighter and Vulture Droid set, and the TIE Fighter set) - 9 in April (Episode III sets) - 2 in autumn (Both Old Trilogy Sets)

Yes, there's some new footage in the battles. Some of it isn't very noricable, but there is a few new things that happen that I won't spoil.

This came out yesterday in Europe, and it's amazing! I won't go in to too much detail so I don't spoil it, but all the Editions like Saruman, the Mouth of Sauron, the extended Paths of the Dead sequence are all amazing, whilst there are also lots of smaller additions, like new lines that also help the film. I haven't got round to watching the speical features yet, but I will soon. So I recommend you buy this (or get it for Christmas), it really is brilliant! :-D

A few more new sets on S@H America: Speedboat Robo Platoon Speed Wings

Since this covers more than one theme, I thought I should make a new thread about it. The new Bikes, some of the Racers and two of the Fire Fighter sets are now on the US S@H, although they don't all have pictures. Lets hope these sets come to the rest of the world before Christmas :)

Well I just phoned up the store and they said that the new sets aren't coming in until January :(

We have Lego Stores in the UK, but they're not selling any of the 2005 stuff yes (at least they weren't on Saturday).

Well the TIE Fighter set definitely comes with Darth Vader, so you would assume he lights up. See this picture: http://www.robothek.de/Test/brickpics/7263-1.jpg

Nothing too amazing, but jindroush at http://www.kostky.org has posted a list of the sets that include minifigs that have something that lights up. Some of the sets aren't certain which minifigs will have the light-up lightsabers, but you get the general idea. I added the brackets for the Wookiee set and the Clone Turbo Tank: 7237 City Police Station (Policeman with torch) 7257 Star Wars Ultimate Lightsaber Duel (Anakin + Obi-Wan Kenobi) 7260 Star Wars Wookiee Catamaran (It is not certain, but it is most likely Yoda) 7261 Star Wars Clone Turbo Tank (I'm hoping it will be Ki-Adi-Mundi as he pilots one of these in the film, but it could be any Jedi) 7263 Star Wars Tie Fighter (Darth Vader) So I'm assuming that no other Star Wars sets will come with lightsabers, just the sets listed above.

Yes, I think they were.

I like the new picture of the crane set with the crane extended (if that is the finished version). It looks huge!
