Star Wars LEGO - 2005 - Year Seven

Hobbies >> Star Wars >> Star Wars LEGO >> 2005 - Year Seven

The last movie coincides with the release of 17 new sets. Not as high as the 27 from the last movie, but high enough. Episode III dominated with 13 sets while LEGO only released 4 sets for the Classic series. The UCS line improved with the Death Star II. It has the most bricks in a set and looks absolutely gorgeous.

This was another promo that came with purchases at LEGO's online store or at participating retail outlets. It's a cool looking set but I don't need it.

Steve's Comments:


I'm not sure you would call a 3-pilot ship a starfighter but this ship is still pretty cool-looking. The MINI does a good job of capturing the shape of the fighter.

Steve's Comments:


This is very similar to the AT-ST. It's around the same price point and it does come with a Clone Trooper. Now for the sales!

Steve's Comments:


This is a really stupid set. I don't know what possessed LEGO to produce such a set as it's not fun at all.

14.99 US / 19.99 CAD

Minifigs:


Buzz Droid

Nope

Steve's Comments:


This set doesn't look too appealing to me. The buzz droid is a neat little figure but ultimately the starfighter looks stupid.

Steve's Comments:


General Grievous' roller-thingy looks cool. So does Obi-Wan working that beast animal. But the lack of pieces for the set suck.

7256 - Jedi Starfighter and Vulture Droid

Jedi Starfighter and Vulture Droid

Minifigs:


Anakin Skywalker, Droid

In Steve's Collection?

No

Does Steve Want It?

Nope

Steve's Comments:


I don't like the look of the Jedi Starfighter. I like the old version and the Vulture Droid is a re-release of an older set.

7257 - Ultimate Lightsaber Duel

29.99 US / 39.99 CAD

Steve's Comments:


The set is supposed to replay the final fight scene between Anakin and Obi-Wan. Some cool features but I'm not enthused about the set's setting.

7258 - Wookiee Attack

Battle Droid x2, Spider Droid, Wookiee x2

Steve's Comments:


The vehicles in this set look horrible. The tank and the ornithopter look like a 10-year old built them. Definitely not worth the price.

7259 - ARC-170 Starfighter

Clone Trooper x3, R2 Unit

In Steve's Collection?

No

Does Steve Want It?

Maybe

Steve's Comments:


This is the standard starfighter for the New Republic. It looks pretty good and it might even be something I'd buy. Still thinking about it though.

In Steve's Collection?

No

Does Steve Want It?

Maybe

Steve's Comments:


I want the unique Jedi Knight Luminara Unduli with the light-up lightsaber. However, the vehicle again looks stupid so it's not the greatest set to get.

Yes

Steve's Comments:


Um...somebody gonna tell LEGO that Mace Windu wasn't on Kashyyyk? Well the Kashyyyk Trooper is cool and the tank looks pretty decent.

Another re-release but this time with a light-up lightsaber. I hear the batteries cannot be replaced after they're dead.

A re-release of the Imperial Shuttle but with way more minifigs. It makes it worthwhile to buy this set.

This has the exclusive Obi-Wan Jedi Starfighter. Other than that, it's just a packaged version of some crappy Episode III sets.

I never thought they would make a LEGO Death Star, let alone the Death Star II. This looks like a fun set to build. I wonder how long it takes?

Droid Bonanza! Lots and lots of droids for everyone to play with. I don't like those odd colour bricks on the Sandcrawler, but it still looks like a great set to get.
