We knew from the list of LEGO events on the schedule for San Diego Comic Con 2013 that we would be getting our first glimpse at a 2014 LEGO Star Wars set, and as usual, LEGO was true to their word!
Coming up in the Winter 2014 LEGO Star Wars wave, it’s going to be an all-new build of the LEGO Star Wars AT-AP Walker from Revenge of the Sith!

I know a lot of LEGO collectors (including me) are feeling pretty burned by the quartet of LEGO Superheroes Minifigures that are ultra-limited San Diego Comic Con 2013 exclusives this week. Well, prepare to feel just a little bit more anger/jealousy, because in addition to those LEGO minifigures being given out at SDCC 2013, there are two more previously unannounced exclusives being sold at the show: a LEGO The Hobbit Micro Bag End and a LEGO Star Wars Mini Jek-14 Stealth Starfighter!

It was less than 36 hours ago that I postulated the hypothetical answer to the question of “When will the 2013 LEGO Star Wars Summer sets be released in the United States?”, and now we already have a definitive answer to that question. And that answer is this, LEGO fans: You’ve waited long enough, and the LEGO Star Wars summer and fall 2013 sets are now released in stores in the United States!

LEGO news is pretty slow this week (what with the floodgates about to open with news when the 2013 San Diego Comic Con takes place next week), so I figured I would stop and publicly address a question that I’m getting asked by readers via E-Mail almost every single day for the last month or so: “When will the new LEGO Star Wars 2013 Summer Sets be Out?” While the summer/fall 2013 LEGO Star Wars sets have already been released internationally, they’re still MIA in the United States. But take heart, dear American collectors: The Force will be strong with us very, very soon!

Think you’re all caught up on your 2013 LEGO Star Wars Minifigure collection? Well, you might be–or else, one figure may have slipped through the cracks! Though the official publication date of the “LEGO Star Wars: The Yoda Chronicles” book isn’t set until July 15th, 2013, Amazon has already started selling and shipping the book (at a 33% discount, no less!). Of course, the book isn’t the main attraction here–it’s the exclusive figure only available packaged with it: the LEGO Star Wars Special Forces Commander minifigure!

After we finally got confirmation that the LEGO Star Wars Ewok Village 10236 set scheduled for Summer 2013 was real, I wasn’t sure how to cope with my need to know each and every detail about the upcoming LEGO Star Wars mega set. Luckily, LEGO Star Wars collectors didn’t have long to wait, as today LEGO let the cat (or Ewoks) out of the bag and fully revealed the 10236 LEGO Ewok Village set coming our way September 2013 with high-resolution photos and video!

It’s been rumored and speculated about all year long, and when LEGO set rumors are repeated with as much consistency and confidence as this one, they often turn out to be true. And in this case, the rumor is true, and the dream has become a reality: a giant 10236 LEGO Star Wars Ewok Village set is coming our way in 2013! Yub Nub!!
The LEGO Ewok Village 10236 is going to be exclusive to official LEGO Stores and the online LEGO Shop, and will retail for a scary €249.99 (likely $250+ in the United States). Here’s what we expect the set to be like…

Something momentous happened today that LEGO Star Wars fans have been looking forward to for months. No, there wasn’t a free promo like the May the 4th Hoth Han Solo minifigure. Nor was there a new set released today. Instead, LEGO Star Wars collectors finally got their first glimpse at the final one of the LEGO Star Wars Summer 2013 sets that he hadn’t seen yet: the LEGO Star Wars Jedi Defender Class Cruiser 75025!

I dropped by my local LEGO Store this morning in hopes of discovering that LEGO Minifigures Series 10 had been released early, but alas, that was not to be. However, the trip wasn’t a total loss, as I saw that the May 2013 LEGO Store calendar was out! Not only does it confirm that the LEGO Star Wars May the 4th Exclusive is a Han Solo (Hoth) Minifigure, but it reveals another free minifigure promotion for next month, along with every other event schedules to go on over at the LEGO Store…

If you’ve been chomping at the bit to get another wildly non-canonical LEGO Star Wars minifigure, LEGO has a treat for you! Along with this week’s DVD release of “LEGO Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Out”, there’s an exclusive minifigure packed in–though he’s certainly not one you’ll remember from the original trilogy or even the prequels. It’s the LEGO Star Wars The Empire Strikes Out exclusive Darth Vader with Medal minifigure!

As we approach the second quarter of 2013, LEGO Star Wars fans have been abuzz with discussions over just who (or what) would be the annual LEGO Star Wars May the 4th exclusive promotional minifigure. After last year’s highly-prized chrome silver TC-14 minifigure, fans had they hopes pretty high. Maybe too high. We now know what’s the special Star Wars May 4th promo minifigure will be. It’s a brown coat Hoth Han Solo minifigure… with a new hat…

There were two LEGO Star Wars sets for Summer 2013 that weren’t displayed at the 2013 Toy Fair and thus had gone unseen by the public… until now. A small photo has hit the internet of one of the two remaining 2013 LEGO Star Wars sets for this summer, confirming the rumors we’d previously heard. It’s the LEGO Star Wars HH-87 Starhopper 75024… but just what is this obscure ship, and who are those minifigures that it comes with?
