2013 Star Wars™ Brickmaster Surfaced!

No Image Available
Where to Buy
A new LEGO® Star Wars™ Brickmaster Book titled "Battle for the Stolen Crystals" has surfaced on DK 2013 Catalog Licensing File. According to its cover from the catalog that is not finale yet, this book contains two minifigures (Clone Commander Gree and Commando Droid) and some bricks that used to build two mini vehicles for both Republic and Separatist armies (The pieces count is still unmentioned yet). It will be released on September 2013 and priced at £19.99.

Here is the official description,
LEGO® Star Wars™ Brickmaster : Battle for the Stolen Crystals
Clone Commander Gree is on a mission to recapture the lightsaber crystals stolen by Commando Droid. Join the fight and build weapons and vehicles to help Gree with his chase. Includes Clone Commander Gree and Commando Droid minifigures to bring the excitement to life.
The minifigures of this new Star Wars™ Brickmaster are not the unique ones because Clone Commander Gree is already included in 9491 Geonosian Cannon, while the Commando Droid also has released with some sets since 2012. Beside that, I believe this book price is the same as the set 9491 price. So, I think it so interesting to compare those two items that I've mentioned come with the same Clone Commander Gree above.

Update :
04/03/2013 - LEGO® Star Wars™ Battle for the Stolen Crystals Brickmaster is already listed at Amazon.com now and originally priced for $32.99. It available in pre-order status until the release at August 19, 2013.

Free LEGO® City Police Helicopter Promo

LEGO® City 30222 Police Helicopter Polybag
Where to Buy
The Official LEGO® Shop at Home Promo or Offer for February 2013 is already surfaced on my Linkshare account. It titled "LEGO® CiTY GWP 2013". This promo will give you a Free City Police Helicopter (Off course it would come in polybag size) if you make any order of $35 or more in entire February 2013 (While the supplies last). Here is the official promo description,
FREE LEGO® CiTY Police Helicopter with any order of $35 or more. Valid 2.1.13 - 2.28.13 or while supplies last
- UPDATE -
- The offer details,

  • Free LEGO® CiTY Police helicopter with $35 purchase.
  • Valid February 1-28 2013 or while supplies last.
  • No Code is Required
- According to LEGO® Shop at Home, 30222 Police Helicopter is come with 33 pieces and approximately retailed for $4.99 (US) or $6.99 (CA).
- -

After watching some of the promo banner, I believe the mini police helicopter model from this February 2013 offer is newly designed. Beside that, you will also get one police minifigure from this polybag set. So, it would be a nice addition for the other new LEGO® City Police 2013 Winter Sets such 60007 High Speed Chase or 60008 Museum Break-in.

2013 Star Wars™ Summer Sets in UK Toy Fair

After the rumor spread across to the internet since few months ago, finally the new LEGO® Star Wars™ 2013 Summer Sets has officially displayed in UK Toy Fair 2013 at London. Pete from FBTB, a well-known brickfans site has made an report about it. Sadly, there is no pictures of it because they are not allowed. So, here is a brief about the next new Summer wave sets according to his report (I only include my favorite sets),

- 75015 Corporate Alliance Tank Droid
Its rather similar to the older one from set 7748 that was released in 2009.
Minifigures : Clone Trooper, Battle Droid, and Jango Fett (new)
Price : £19.99

- 75016 Homing Spider Droid
Its bigger than the older one from set 7681 that was released in 2008 and comes with a smaller spider droid.
Minifigures : Clone Trooper, Super Battle Droid (x2), and Adi Galia (new)
Price : £29.99

- 75017 Duel on Geonosis
This playset comes with various bits of scenery and stuff to reenact the duel scene between Count Dooku and Yoda in Episode II.
Minifigures (all of them are new) : Count Dooku, Yoda, Pilot Droid, and Poggle The Lesser
Price : £39.99

- 75018 Jek-14's Stealth Starfighter
It based from the Yoda Chronicles and colored with black and red. In Pete's opinion, this starfighter is a beefy version of Z-95 Headhunter.
Minifigures (all of them are new) : Jek-14, Separatist Bounty Hunter, Special Forces Clone Trooper, and R4-G0
Price : £59.99

- 75019 AT-TE
It looked pretty much the same as the older one from set 7675 that was released in 2008.
Minifigures : Mace Windu (new), Coleman Trebor (new), Clone Trooper Gunner (new), Battle Droid (x2)
Price : £79.99

- 75020 Jabba's Sail Barge
Its smaller than previous version from set 6210 that was released in 2006.
Minifigures : Jabba, Max Rebo (new), Weequay (new), Ree-Yees (new), and Princess Leia (new)
Price : £99.99

- 75021 Republic Gunship
It looked quite similar to the older one from set 7676 that was released in 2008 but with different pilot canopies.
Minifigures : Obi-Wan Kenobi (new), Anakin Skywalker (new), Clone Pilot (new), Padme Amidala (new), Clone Trooper Officer (new), and Super Battle Droid (x2)
Price : £109.99

- 75022 Mandalorian Speeder
There aren't much description for the speeder.
Minifigures (all of them are new) : Darth Maul (in resurrection version with robotic legs), and Mandalorian Super Commando (x2)
Price : £24.99

Overall, I think the line-up of minifigures on the sets above are awesome because each set at least comes with the new one (brand new character or old character with new design). Beside that, there are some new variant of the Clone Trooper that so tempting to be collected.

Update :
02/11/2013 - Most of new 2013 SW Summer Sets are already revealed 2013 NY Toy Fair now!

10 Top Star Wars™ 2012 Sets by brickshowtv

Brickshowtv, a LEGO® Sets Reviewer on Youtube recently has announced the result of "Top Star Wars™ Sets for 2012" Poll. This event has been held since a few months ago and involved their fans and video viewers as the voters. So, Here are the Top 10 of SW 2012 Sets according to that poll result which maybe can be an investing guide for you,

*The price above can change anytime

From the result above I can conclude that the movie's based sets (both original and prequel trilogy) are still popular (5 sets) among the voters because they dominate the Top 10 position. Its so unsurprising because I think a lot of SW saga fans are loving the iconic scenes from the movie such Palpatine's Arrest or Jabba's Palace. Beside that, the sets on Top 2 of the result are deserve to get it because of their playability and VIP Points offer (Just the price and VIP Points of the other sets to compare).

Whether the result above also affect on the Top 10 sets sales rank in 2012 ? It so interesting to wait the official announcement from LEGO®.

So, what do you think about this poll result ?
