10221 gif

As announced, the set 10221 will be available on September 1, 2011. It has just been listed on the LEGO Shop in the category LEGO Exclusives at this address : 10221 Super Star DestroyerTo add a layer of it and at the risk of sounding like an insistent moan, if you zoom in on the sticker, the error is still there. Either LEGO does not hang out much on the forums, or no one has seen fit to correct the mistake and take a photo for the brand's official Shop .....

In both cases, we will enjoy the first or second degree of the description of the set on the Shop:

"Dare to pilot Darth Vader's terrifying Destroyer ™!

 The Super Star Destroyer Executor has arrived! This jaw-dropping device is Darth Vader's personal ship and served as a command ship in the Battles of Hoth and Endor. With its arrowhead design, the Executor is one of the largest and most powerful ships in the Star Wars galaxy. Constructed from over 3 pieces, measuring almost 000cm long and weighing approximately 124,5kg, this fantastic LEGO® Star Wars ™ model is impressive in every way."

66395
Expected for September 2011, here is a new 3 in 1 SuperPack in the LEGO Star Wars range in the vein of the sets already released in this format:

66308 (7667 + 7668 + 8017)
66341 (8014 + 8015 + 8091)
66364 (7749 + 8083 + 8084)
66366 (7749 + 8083 + 8089)
66368 (8083 + 8084 + 8092)
66377 (7869 + 7913 + 7914)
66378 (8085 + 7913 + 7914)

which usually contain a major set from the current year's System range and two Battle Packs.
For this set 66395, the content will consist of the sets 7957 Sith Nightspeeder, and two Battle Packs:  7913 Clone Trooper Battle Pack et 7914 Mandalorian Battle Pack.
The whole thing should be sold around 49.90 € and will probably be available almost exclusively in Toys R Us stores.

7877 review
It is Sir von Lego who sticks to Eurobricks with this first review of the set 7877 Naboo Starfighter "Special Edition".

We learn that this set of 318 pieces contains as announced 6 minifigs (Young Anakin, Naboo Fighter Pilot, R2D2, 2x Security Droid & Destroyer Droid) and costs 49.99 € at Toys R Us.

We are entitled to a new Naboo pilot, and two "Security Droids" whose torso reveals a rather dubious print quality. Unless it is intended by LEGO to produce an artistic visual effect ....

Anakin's minifig is the same as the one in the set 7962 also released this year with its two-sided face. Once again we are entitled to a sheet of stickers to dress the Naboo Starfighter. The Destroyer Droid benefits from a rather successful new design. The ship remains essentially identical to that of the set 7660 released in 2007. To see more and get an idea, visit the dedicated topic at Eurobricks.

gt 150 7958 g

This is the site exoneit.de who publishes what seems to be the final version of the box set 7958 Star Wars 2011 Advent Calendar.

Announced for 26/09/2011, this set will contain as expected 16 mini-models and 8 minifigs. Be careful, however, this visual of the box does not mention the number of pieces (266), nor the detail of the content as we saw on the preliminary visual of the box that I showed you in this news February 15 2011.

The awful Yoda / Santa Claus is confirmed, and among the mini-models we will therefore find a rather average Millennium Falcon, a fairly successful Slave I and a fairly nice X-Wing Starfighter.

goof 10221

Come on, to add a layer and show you in detail what you will be able to afford from September 1 for nearly 400 €, I can not resist the pleasure of showing you the level of finish made in LEGO with this beautiful spelling mistake on the sticker for set 10221 Super Star Destroyer.  turbolaser bECOMES "turoblaser"

You are probably saying to yourself: "This is only a press kit photo, we will not be entitled to that in real life ..." and yet the set in question was exhibited at BrickWorld and the sticker was proudly displayed the same fault ...
