7956 Ewok Attack: First review

17/05/2011 - 07:46 Lego news
ewok reviewOnce again, Asoka from the Imperium der Steine ​​forum sticks to it, with the first review of set 7956 Ewok Attack.

As expected, this set does not revolutionize the genre and is more like a "Battle Pack" for the set. 8038 The Battle of Endor.

We find the three planned minifigs, namely the two "Kinder Suprise" style ewoks Tokkat and Logray and a classic Scout Trooper.
The tree provided is ordinary, coarse and made of nested bricks a bit random. With the catapult you can throw the three included projectiles (Long live the playability of LEGO products ....).
In short, an expensive set and not very interesting, except for lovers of dioramas who will be happy to recover a few pieces (A gold price) for their bulk.
To read Asoka's review, visit this page of the Imperium der Steine ​​forum.

00It is in Germany that the novelties of June 2011 have already made their appearance, and the first images are visible on Asoka forumer's gallery at this address.
We already know these sets whose web has been invaded by preliminary and official photos for several months already.
More surprisingly, we can already find these novelties for sale on eBay at too high prices, even for the impatient with for example the set 7962 Anakin's & Sebulba's Podracers around 130 euros, the set 7961 Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator at around 90 euros, the set 7964 Republic Frigate at around 160 euros, the set 7957 Sith NightSpeeder at around 37 euros, the set 7956 Ewok Attack for 38 euros, the set 7965 Millennium Falcon for 189 euros.
In any case, it would be better to wait a few more weeks to get your sets at the right price and not to give Teutonic speculators any ground to grind .....

jake lloydDon't you know who this young teenager is? Come on, make an effort, his face reminds you of someone, but you don't know how to put it in context.

And yet it is about Jake Lloyd, aka Anakin Skywalker in Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace released in 1999. He was then 10 years old and his little face has been around the world.

If Jake Lloyd poses for the photo with Anakin's minifigure in his hand, it's on the occasion of the event SW and SF generations 2011 which has just taken place in Cusset and of which he was one of the guests of honor.
If his career has not really taken off since, he is still considered today as one of those who contributed to the legend of the Star Wars saga.
You can read a report of this event with many photos at this address.

New in 2011: At what price?

10/05/2011 - 11:03 Lego news
It is the German merchant site exoneit.de which gives us a more precise idea of ​​the prices at which we can afford in Europe the sets planned for June 2011.
The and 7965 Millennium Falcon is advertised at the rate of € 119,69
The and 7964 Republic Frigate at the rate of € 103,86
The and 7962 Anakin's & Sebulba's Podracers à € 79,99
The and 7961 Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator à € 55,29
The and 7959 Geonosian Starfighter à € 33,10
The and 7957 Sith Nightspeeder à € 24,09
The and 7956 Ewok Attack à € 24,09

Note that these prices are only indicative, that the VAT rate applied at this merchant is 19% but they give us a concrete idea of ​​the rampant inflation to which the Star Wars range is subject ..... And this is undoubtedly just the beginning ... With the release of the Blu-ray edition of the saga and the broadcast over the next few years of all the episodes in 3D in our cinemas, nostalgia will do its work with older and will lead to renewed interest in derivatives.
