“These LEGO sets are for kids. They’re not meant for me. These LEGO sets are for kids. They’re not meant for me.” I’ve started repeating those words almost like a manta when looking at the 2014 LEGO Star Wars Microfighters sets, because otherwise I cannot mentally cope with what are certainly the weirdest LEGO Star Wars sets that LEGO has come up with yet. Due out in stores in Winter 2014–it’s LEGO Star Wars Microfighters Series 1!

I am unashamed to admit that I cried when Ahsoka Tano left the Jedi order at the end of Clone Wars. As you might imagine, I am a pretty big Star Wars Clone Wars fan. So while some LEGO Star Wars collectors were giddy that Clone Wars was cancelled, I was still holding out hope that we’d get a few more LEGO Clone Wars sets. And to my delight, one of the final LEGO Star Wars 2014 sets to be revealed is pure Clone Wars–it’s the 2014 LEGO Star Wars Coruscant Police Gunship 75046!

Last night I posted my impressions of the four 2014 LEGO Star Wars Battle Packs sets, so today let’s take a look at the remaining seven (non-exclusive) LEGO Star Wars 2014 sets! The LEGO Star Wars winter 2014 sets aren’t the most inspired group of vehicles ever, as we’ve had all of these sets but one before, but are there enough advancements and improvements to make them worthy of a new release…?

LEGO Star Wars is one of LEGO’s crown jewels when it comes to sales and popularity, but even among the other sets in the theme the Battle Packs are especially well-loved. With an affordable price of under 15 bucks for four minifigures, the LEGO Star Wars Battle Packs are some of the most anticipated sets every year. And the LEGO Star Wars 2014 Battle Packs are going to be some of the in-demand sets ever, as they bring back the trend of four minifigures from a single faction per pack…

We’re still a full three months away from the Winter 2014 LEGO sets hitting stores, but now that they’ve begun, the leaks just keep on coming! Tonight, Flickr user Solid Brix Studios posted an image of another pair of minifigures not expected to reach stores for another quarter of a year–the LEGO Batman 2014 Joker Minifigure, alongside the very first LEGO Star Wars 2014 minifigure to be revealed: the LEGO Star Wars V-Wing Pilot!

It’s that time of year again, LEGO fans! Though its a bit late to celebrate Christmas in July, you still have the opportunity to celebrate the holidays with LEGO in August, as the three LEGO Advent Calendar for the year have now began to arrive! While a lot of fans will be excited for the 2013 LEGO City Advent Calendar 60024 and LEGO Friends Advent Calendar 41016, there’s no question that the most-anticipated is the 2013 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar 75023. Online orders for the new LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar will ship next week, but it’s also now been released in stores!

I wasn’t exactly stoked about the Revenge of the Sith-centric LEGO Star Wars 2014 sets lineup that was revealed last week, but that doesn’t mean I wasn’t looking forward to seeing photos of the sets in all their glory! And thanks to a UK Catalog, some low-resolution photos of the Winter 2014 LEGO Star Wars sets leaked out and are now available, including the new LEGO Star Wars Vulture Droid, Droid Gunship, V-Wing, General Grievous’ Wheel Bike and more!

I was pretty both happy and sad last week when the news broke that the LEGO Star Wars Planet Series had been canceled. I was sad because I thought the line still had some potential, but I was happy because its demise would lead to a new series of LEGO Star Wars Vehicle minis in 2014.
The first photos of the 2014 LEGO Star Wars Microfighters have leaked to the internet, and now, well… now I am sad once again…

Do you have a couple hundred dollars extra that’s been burning a hole through your pocket?

With only four months before the 2014 LEGO Star Wars winter wave of sets begins to hit stores, it was only a matter of time until details about the series leaked out to the Internet–and that time has come! We now know that there will be 19 (yes, nineteen) LEGO Star Wars 2014 winters sets available around the new year, including an all-new sub-series of small-scale sets, the return of single faction battle packs and a huge emphasis on Clone Wars and Revenge of the Sith sets. If you’re a Star Wars OT (Original Trilogy) fan, prepare for some major disappointment…

Some sad news today for LEGO Star Wars Collectors: the LEGO Star Wars Planets series of sets that began in 2012 has been canceled and will not be continuing on into 2014. We have already seen the end of the series, as no additional LEGO Star Wars Planets sets will be released besides those that already came out earlier this year. It’s not all bad, of course–when one LEGO series ends, another begins! A new series of LEGO Star Wars vehicle in small-scale will be released as part of the winter LEGO Star Wars 2014 wave of sets…

Following all of the drama, controversy and disappointment that coincided with the SDCC 2013 LEGO exclusive sets and minifigures, it’s nice to get some pure, unadulterated good news for a change! And that’s just what we’ve got today–some good old fashioned exciting, happy news! Though many collectors thought that a particular minifigure given out for free in June of this year at LEGOLand California was going to become an impossible to find grail, that’s not going to be the case at all! Coming to LEGO Stores as a free promo in September 2013: LEGO Star Wars Clone Trooper Lieutenant Minifigure 5001709!

Confession time: I didn’t plan on buying the new Summer 2013 LEGO Star Wars Corporate Alliance Tank Droid 75015. I ragged on this set when it was unveiled at the 2013 Toy Fair, and I had no intention of buying it–right up until it was the set priced closest to the LEGO Mandalorian Speeder I was buying as part of a BOGO sale. I’m lucky I did pick the new 75015 LEGO Star Wars Tank Droid up on a whim, though–because I absolutely love it!
