They're pretty cool... didn't bother putting together the vehicles; but the mini-figures and weapons are nice.

Scored the Wampa set (used, but complete) off of eBay for about $27 shipped. Still kicking myself for not buying it for $20 when I saw it on sale; but live and learn

The Lego Death Star instruction manual is the size of a coffee table book.

Re: LEGO Star Wars - anyone?

My six yr old loves the SW Legos. He can put the smaller sets together himself but I have to help with the larger sets, which is fine by me. I find putting legos together is very relaxing. It is really all he plays with anymore. He does great using his imagination and coming up with some pretty cool ships that he creates on his own.

We also love to play Lego SW the complete saga together. My son actually made his own destroyer droid after examining the same character in the game.

Some of the new sets look like must haves.

Great stuff

Overheard at the lego store which I frequent:

Adult 1: "Arent you a bit too old for all these lego stuff?"
Adult 2: "You dont actually own lego, you're merely looking after it for the next generation"

Here are a couple of the ships he made from his own imagination. I dunno I think it's pretty good for a six year old.

This first one he did while sitting on the pot in the bathroom

Free instruction download from BaronSat! This little cart would look cool next to the new LEGO X-Wing.

CLICK!

Those Skiff and Jabba Palace sets are very cool.

Does anybody know if there's a way I can get replacement stickers for a set? The Death Star I bought from the Lego store was a bit cheaper because the box had some shelf wear, but one of the stickers has a pretty large scratch on it.

Yep, they are. My six-year-old has done similar things -- I think Legos are really good for stimulating creativity.

That Sarlaac is a must... Looking forward to seeing what they do with Jabba in terms of color and additional detail. He looks solid white in the preliminary photo there.

Re: LEGO Star Wars - anyone?

I'm expecting him to look like he did in The Padawan Menace.

 

[FLOSI]

Re: LEGO Star Wars - anyone?

I hope so too... I'm also hoping the Gammy looks the way they do in those pics as well...

So anyone else going shopping Sunday? It's the release date for the new sets. Thinking of picking up the Tie myself.

Re: LEGO Star Wars - anyone?

So how good is The Padawan Menace? If I like the SW Lego game cutscenes, will I like it?

Re: LEGO Star Wars - anyone?

My TRU already had all the new stuff out a few days ago. I also got the new Tie Fighter and Escape Pod/Droids sets yesterday.

I thought it was cute. It actually has dialog, so it's a bit of a different feel from the Lego game cutscenes, but still similar.

Re: LEGO Star Wars - anyone?

Really? Looks like I'm going to TRU today at lunch, even though I hate them for their inflated pricing.

Did you and your son build them yet?

I may give it a shot then. I always thought some of the cutscenes would be good if they had dialog.
