Yup, I agree about getting the Skiff, Lando and Boba are a must. As for pricing, I'm thinking in between the $50-60 range.

Hey guys I was just wondering if there would be a possibility of LEGO to make a General Krell minifigure from The Clone Wars Umbara story arc. The reason why I ask is because a figure like that seems nearly impossible with the four arms and brand new head sculpt but knowing LEGO they might be able to get it done. Do you think it would be possible to see this figure in a future set or is it too tall of a task for LEGO?

Sorry about that Brickdoctor. Will post in the right thread next time.

Hey guys I just found this image on hothbricks.com (originally from ACpin) and it is apparently featured in an upcoming issue of Club magazine. It's a contest about ways to enlarge Jabba's palace. (more rooms) This is just more confirmation that we will get additional structures to the set! (Hopefully Rancor pit!)

None of the new Star Wars sets have appeared her in California but the sales tax here is 7.25% (which if you were to buy the Malevolence, it would cost $128.69) hope that helps

Thanks for the information! This is what I expected, it will hit U.S. Beginning of September, and will take the spot of the Imperial Shuttle which will be discontinued to make room for the B-Wing! It makes perfect sense! Also the price range will be between $200-$300 (Like the Imperial Shuttle was.)

In my opinion, The UCS B-Wing will be the Star Wars UCS set in the slot where the Imperial Shuttle and SSD were. (Beginning of September or October) I do agree that pictures (and official announcement) should be coming any day now.

Imperial V-Wing is still available but Palpatine's Shuttle has been discontinued. Also, the Summer catalog has been arriving but I myself haven't gotten it yet. It should be along soon but if not, I recommend requesting a new one. Pre Vizsla's Starfighter will be available beginning of August since it is a Target exclusive and LEGO direct won't be getting them until early August. As for the Battle of Hoth board game, that will not be available in the U.S. From my memory, the Star Wars sets hit the U.S. around July 26th correct? I can't think it would be any sooner than July 20th but then again I wasn't in the states when the new sets came out last year. Does anybody know the date that the Star Wars sets hit TRU last year?

Are you just concerned about the Y-Wing itself or are you also concerned about the figures that come with it?

I just finished building 9516 and was completely oblivious to even looking at the bottom of it but those holes certainly suggest a Rancor Pit! I'm sure this will definitely change some people's opinions on getting this set.

My thoughts exactly

Hey guys, the guy who purchased palpatine's arrest today and the reason why we have the images we do, has begun reviewing the set. Here are some loose photos of his review: I must say that the other face used on Anakin in the set does not look good to me at all http://www.imperiumdersteine.de/showthread.php?p=583942

Are you absolutely sure about that? I realize that the head isn't new but the torso is questionable, It does look a lot like the old one but there might be some subtle differences.

I agree, a senate would suit it far better.

Palpatine's Arrest is awesome!! Thank you Nrg!!! That set is everything I expected and more. I'm definitely going for it! hey guys, don't look now, but I see peg holes right on the front of the platform facing us. Could this be modular and could be combined with a future set?! Jedi temple?

No way?! You say they hit TRU on Friday?! That would definitely be the earliest we have ever gotten them! 2 whole months earlier! Now the question is: If they do happen to get them on Friday,will they be available on their website or just in your store.

I love how the new Star Wars sets are trickling out across Europe and I can't wait until they hit here in the U.S. It is a given that TRU will have the sets first but my first question would be: How much is TRU going to mark them up? i'm a bit concerned because a LOTR set is marked up $30 whole dollars! I really hope they don't mark up Jabba's Palace and Malevolence too much since they are the two biggest sets of the lineup. My second question would be: Is there a specific date in late July that the sets will appear on TRU's website or is it random each year?

The chrome on all of LEGO's special figures does wear off with heavy play and TC-14 is no exception. Obviously one should take better care of a chrome minifigure than a normal one but it should be good on display and light play.

Thanks GRogall! You rock!

Yes, Palpatine's Arrest set is scheduled to come out with all the normal sets including Pre Vizsla's Starfighter but pictures of the set are being delayed like last year with Hoth Echo Base. If you remember correctly, the first pictures we saw of that set was on the German LEGO website in their product section. That was revealed less than a month before their release. As for the B-wing, pictures should definitely be out around Comic-Con time with a release in early Fall.

Awesome! is it possible for a review on any of those sets?

Does anyone know where to get the 2012 summer Star Wars sets here in the U.S.?

Very nice review! I quite like the inclusion of Even Piell in this set but IMO he just looks weird. The price of this set in Germany sounds insane, i'm still skeptical if i'd like to get it for $29.99 here Anyways, great review, also if you manage to get anymore of the Summer sets I look forward to seeing your reviews on them as well.

Hey guys I just got done scouring for new pictures and uploaded these to my Flickr, (another angle of the 7 main summer sets)

The post card of mine for U.S. states that you get: A free TC-14 Minifigure, UCS R2-D2 poster Free Standard shipping Star Wars sets on sale (doesn't say which ones though)
