cartoon network is teasing for one of the next episodes of Season 5 of The Clone Wars titled "The Gathering".

It should be the origin of lightsabers and Yoda will lead a group of young Jedi on the difficult quest for the ultimate weapon. An episode that should be refreshing and informative ...

Note that the arc entitled "Young Jedi" is a priori spread over 4 episodes. It was screened last August to a panel of spectators during Celebration VI.

To see the images published by the American channel which is currently broadcasting the series, go to this address.

As usual with the preliminary photos that can be seen in the various and varied leaks of reseller catalogs (this year, it is even a French version of this catalog which was published online almost at the time when the official visuals appeared online), no use getting carried away on the Pong Krell minifigure seen in the Star Wars page of this catalog (Click here to view this image).

The final version of this minifigure will obviously be better finished than this prototype version. We can also see it on the official visual of the box of the 75004 Z-95 Headhunter set, and all we can say about it is that we should a priori find the same combination of parts as for Lord Garmadon ( Ninjago sets 9446 and 9450) with a standard torso on which the reference torso will be plugged 98127c01, or a possibly modified version of this piece without the grooves, to allow Pong Krell to have all four arms. 

The head also appears to be different from Bossk's as seen in the preliminary visual. In the worst case, it will be the same mold but with a different color to better stick to the physique of Krell.

We won't have to be satisfied for long with the preliminary visuals of the 2013 sets of the Planet Series range.

Here are already 4 of them in their final version. I fell in love with Coruscant from set 75007 on the planets side and for Tantive IV from set 75011 on the ship side as far as I'm concerned.

Edit: And here are the last two visuals following Venator's comment. The Snowspeeder and the B-Wing are successful. The planets a little less, too uniform for my taste.

A Brickset user has communicated a list (probably not exhaustive) obtained from a source considered reliable of the products whose production stops this year and which you will have to obtain quickly if you do not want to pay a high price in six months...

10219 Maersk Train (98.99 € on amazon.it)
10217 Diagon Alley190.00 € on amazon.fr)
8043 Motorized Excavator129.99 € on amazon.it)
10193 Medieval Market Village (88.89 € on amazon.fr)
10216 Winter Village Bakery49.90 € on amazon.fr)

Among the sets whose maintenance in the LEGO catalog has been confirmed:

10188 Death Star (322.00 € on amazon.it)
10197 Fire Brigade124.90 € on amazon.it)

Apparently none of the sets in the so-called range Structure will only be stopped this year. This list is obviously not complete, other sets may go by the wayside this year such as for example the 10212 UCS Imperial Shuttle207.99 € on amazon.it).
