seen on StarWars.com, the presentation of the packaging model for the 2012 range of Star Wars licensed products.

This time we find the Sith Lord Darth Maul in the spotlight, and this choice is not trivial. It is in fact in 2012 that is planned, in addition to the end of the world, the 3D release of episode I The Phantom Menace at the cinema, a film in which Maul plays an important role.

Note that the designers have not planned any particular packaging for the products of the Clone Wars range. We can therefore expect to see Maul appear on all LEGO Star Wars boxes by early 2012.

You can read an interview with the designers of this packaging via this link.

The photo posted on Toys N Bricks by gabriellee11 is fuzzy, but we can distinguish the two new packs of magnets (The minifigs are glued to their support) from the SW range.

Pack 853130 contains Anakin Skywalker, Talz, and a Clone Pilot. (on the left in the photo)

Pack 853126 contains an AT-AT Driver, Ben Kenobi, and a Tie Fighter Pilot. (on the right in the photo)

Note that these two packs are not yet listed on Brickset or on the LEGO Shop.
As soon as new visuals appear, I will be sure to post them.

It's not exactly a new image of this set that is fueling all discussions about its future selling price and content.

Instead, here is a clear image, which confirms certain elements:

It will contain 8 minifigures and 16 mini models for a total of 266 pieces.

Looking closely at the visual, we see the Christmas tree, as well as a mini X-Wing.

Yoda will be in Santa Claus clothes, and it looks like he's wearing a hood on his back.
In short, nothing new, but you have to find something to wait .....

Announced a few weeks ago, this new mini set is finally visible in a first presentation in pictures on Eurobricks.

The Superkalle forumer therefore presents the parts of this set, the instruction sheet and the assembled ship.

Overall, this Vulture Droid is consistent with its big brother seen in the set 7256 released in 2005 (Jedi Starfighter and Vulture Droid).

The colors are respected and the design of the ship is rather successful for a set of forty pieces.

To see all the pictures and get an idea, go to Eurobricks at this address.

While waiting for the official release of the game scheduled for March 22/24, 2011, a demo version of LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars is finally available on PSN.

Note that the 3DS version of LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars will be available on the console launch day (March 27 for North America and March 25 in Europe).

The game will also be available on all platforms: PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, DS and PSP.
