Star Wars has to be Lego’s most successful franchise and it’s not hard to see why. The almost too-good-to-be-true combining of the best building toy in existence with the world’s biggest Sci Fi franchise (sorry Trekkies) is a fan’s, not to mention a toy-maker’s, dream. Over the last ten years Lego has freed an astounding range of Star Wars Themed sets, from all six movies as well as the Clone Wars television series and the occasional Extended Universe ship. In 2011 they will proceed to come up with astounding sets, if initial images of the firstborn wave is any indication. Due for release in January 2011 the latest Star Wars sets are to a considerable degree focussed on the Clone Wars animated TV series. After the success of former battle packs, Lego will focus on army builders form the Clone Wars by freeing a Clone Wars Battlepack (7913) and a Mandalorian Battle Pack (7914) both priced at $10.99. The Clone Wars Battle pack will incorporate four figures; Clone Trooper, ARF Trooper and two Bomb Squad Troopers which is a nice mix of clones and differentiates this set from earlier clone trooper battle packs. The Mandalorian Battle Pack will come with four of these famous Star Wars clan-based characters, as featured in Season two and three of the Clone Wars cartoon. Each battle pack also comes with a little vehicle. Vehicles are also featured in this initial Star Wars Lego 2011 wave. Set 7915 is the Imperial V-Wing Star Fighter, already the subject of a Lego set back in 2006 (Set 6205) but this latest version comes with a black color scheme for both the ship, pilot and astromech droid. Set 7929 entitled The Battle Of Naboo is the original Episode One set for a heap of years. It features a big amount of figures, mainly battle droids and a couple of Gungans. The set also comes with a droid carrier featuring a dark red color scheme rather of the rather drab brown versions of the past. The new Gungans look to be more varied and elaborate than the versions from 10 years ago. One of the Gungans is, of course, Jar Jar Binks and his headpiece is painted and looks perfectly beautiful. The Bounty Hunter Gunship (Set 7930) was featured in the Clone Wars Television series Season Two Episode 17 entitled, appropriately, “The Bounty Hunters”. The ship is dark green in color with accents in yellow and gray which blend in nicely with the episode’s location, Felucia. Widening the scope of bounty hunter minifigs this set comes with the long awaited Aurra Sing as well as Embo, Sugi and an Assassin Droid who were all featured in the episode. The last set of this firstborn Star Wars Lego wave for 2011 is the T6 Jedi Shuttle (7931) likewise known as a Jedi ambassador shuttle as featured in episode three of Season two “Children Of the Force”. The distinctive semicircular shuttle looks very nicely done and comes with a lot of highly envisioned figures. Finally fans may add the Jedi Quinlan Vos, Shaak Ti and Saesee Tiin to their collection as well as another Obi-Wan Kenobi. Overall this basi Lego Star Wars 2011 wave looks fantasti and holds a great deal of noteworthy Star Wars figures that fans, new and old, will be eagerly awaiting.
