lego star wars magazine acklay geonosis exclusive 2016

The June 2016 issue (No.12) of the official LEGO Star Wars magazine has a nice surprise in store for us.

No, it's not a minifig, but it's a LEGO version of the Acklay, the big critter seen in the Petranaki arena on Geonosis (Episode II - Attack of the Clones) and we will therefore be entitled to a real new and exclusive gift with this magazine.

We can discuss the finish of the thing, but we will probably all agree that a little freshness in the long list of mini-tricks offered with this LEGO Star Wars magazine is always welcome ...

If the publisher of this magazine could follow up with a Reek and a Nexu in a LEGO version, just to complete the bestiary ...

While waiting for the month of June, I remind you that number 11 (May 2016) is coming out in the coming days and that it is accompanied of an AAT rather successful (assembly instructions below or in high resolution on my flickr gallery).
