In the last month, at every year Toy Fairs nearby the world, Lego have unveiled the next wave of releases in their favorite Star Wars line. Due for release in August 2010 the Lego sets are a mix of old and new with brand new sets and re-releases from the primary trilogy, the Prequel Trilogy and the Clone Wars.
One of the main draws of any new Star Wars set is the new minifigures and this wave doesn't disappoint. Along with new sculpts of Boba Fett (with more authentic blue jumpsuit coloring), Han Solo in Carbonite and normal Grievous there are previously unreleased minifigures of Aalya Secura, Empire Strikes Back bounty hunter Bossk and Clone Wars villain Cad Bane.

The sets themselves are also a compound of new models and old. As usual the focus is on vehicles but the addition of a play set will also appeal to fans.
With 297 pieces, model 8089, The Hoth Wampa Set combines the new outline of the great Wampa with a redesign of the snowspeeder. This is the third interpretation of the snowspeeder, it has been previously released twice in standalone sets and once in an additional one Hoth play set. The Hoth Wampa set also comes with Luke Skywalker in Hoth gear (ready to be suspended in the Wampa's meat freezer) and a snowspeeder pilot and will sell for .99.
The re-release of Boba Fett's Slave 1 includes the third version of Slave 1 to be released as well as the figures of Boba Fett, Bossk and Han Solo. The latter includes a Carbonite mould that can be attached to the Han Solo outline and carried by two other figures. The redesign of Slave One looks to be a huge revision over previous versions. Boba Fett's Slave 1 has been released twice before and the most recent version, model 8097, is more screen-accurate in both colors and design. It will sell for .99.
Model 8096 is Emperor Palpatine's Shuttle as seen in part Three, where it was used to rescue a scarred and burned Anakin Skywalker after his battle with Obi Wan Kenobi. The Shuttle is a first time release from Lego and includes figures of The Emperor, Anakin in transition to cyborg Darth Vader, a shuttle pilot and a medical droid. The car will have 592 pieces and will sell for .99.
Model 8095 is an additional one re-release, normal Grievous Starfighter. With 454 pieces it comes with 3 figures a beautifully designed normal Grievous, a medical droid and Bant Eerin. A Mon Calamari, Bant Eerin is Kit Fisto's padawan and met his demise in the Clone Wars Season one part The Lair Of normal Grievous. As mentioned previously the normal Grievous minifig is a huge revision on previous part 3 sets and this outline will no doubt be extremely sought after on the sets release. The normal Grievous Starfighter will sell for .99.
Set 8093 is Plo Koon's Starfighter a debut model in Lego. Plo Kloon was a famed pilot and famously met his demise in part Three after being shot down by fellow clone pilots after Order 66. The starfighter set is 175 pieces and includes the figures of Plo Kloon and his astromech droid. The fighter itself is a beautiful blue and white make reminiscent of the Jedi Starfighters from part two. Set 8093 will sell for .99
The last set for this late 2010 wave of Star Wars Lego sets is the re-release of the Clone Turbo Tank. Released nearby the time of part Three, the primary set came with Mace Windu and clone troopers but this most recent release gives us a Clone wars Tv series theme. Figures contain two new designs-Clone wars villain Cad Bane and Jedi master Aalya Secura. Other figures in this set contain Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, and two clone troopers. The Clone Wars Turbo Tank will have 1141 pieces, manufacture it the largest set of this wave and as a matter of fact of the years so far. The Turbo Tank also comes with a clone walker that can deploy from the tank and the set will sell for 9.
August cannot come too soon for fans of the extremely favorite Star Wars Lego licence and although the release dates give plenty of time to ponder and over-anticipate the details of each set it also allows ample time to save!
