LEGO Star Wars 9526 Palpatine's Arrest

And it is by Steine ​​Imperium we finally discover this long awaited set and on which many collectors had great hope.

On the menu, a somewhat simplistic playset reproducing somehow Palaptine's office, as has become the rule at LEGO lately, a mini ship for Anakin and the six minifigs we all hoped for: Kit Fisto, Mace Windu , Chancellor Palpatine, Saesee Tiin, Anakin Skywalker and Agen Kolar.

On the playability side, we are entitled to a movable bay window to reproduce the scene from the film and eject Mace Windu, the entrance door to the Chancellor's office opens, and the playset seems to partially close on itself. Note a nice lightsaber for Palpatine.

La only price indication given to us so far mentioned a retail price of 89.99 € and the set was purchased at this price at the LEGO Store in Hamburg (DE).

I still have to sort it out your assumptions about the content of the set and find out who predicted the exact setup.

VIP Exclusive LEGO® Minifigures Set

If you followed, you remember that LEGO consulted its VIP clients in July 2011, to make a selection of minifigs to be grouped together in a collector's set.

The result of the poll was rather disappointing, with five minifigs from series 3 in the end, and the surprising absence of some very popular minifigs from other series.

So here is this set, with original packaging, found by an EB forumer at the Disney LEGO Store for $ 14.99.

On the minifig side, the elf and the Gorilla Suit Guy are unchanged from their original version. The space villain has a leg of a different color, the Fisherman has a black beanie and silver fish (instead of Sand Green) and the mummy has a golden scorpion which replaces the red version of the 3 series.

No information yet on the availability of this set in France, but it will certainly be on sale in the LEGO Shop very soon.
