It is already time to start talking about the LEGO Star Wars range planned for 2012. There are many rumors circulating about it on various forums and the whole community is torn between skepticism and impatience.
Here is a summary of these current rumors, to be taken with a grain of salt and with hindsight so as not to be manipulated by some forumers who seek to make themselves interesting.
Mirandir, Eurobricks forumer, claims to have already seen preliminary pictures of the next two Battle Packs. According to him, these BP would be very different from what we have known so far in the Star Wars range: Exit the BP bringing together members of the same faction. The next PBs in 2012 will be made up of a mix of opposing factions.
The range which would be released in the first half of 2012 would consist of six classic "System" sets, two "Limited Edition" sets, but also three sets of a new series for collectors, either a total of 11 sets.
About these “collectable” novelties Mirandir specifies that they would not be products similar to what we know as the minifig series, but products specially packaged for display.
The rumor concerning the presence of a Naboo Royal Starship in the set 9499 which will contain the minifig of queen Amidala continues to make its way. Even if it must be admitted that this type of machine would have to be fully chromed to be credible, this dramatically impacting the final cost of production and therefore of sale of this product.
About this you can always go at this address to read the discussion around the MOC of the Naboo Royal Starship dating from 2005 of which I offer an image above. The Brickshelf gallery gathering pictures of this chrome machine by a fan is at this address.
Another Eurobricks forumer and employee at LEGO, Capt. Kirk, has launched a wave of speculation following comments at the very least mysterious in which he evokes the release in 2012 ofa set with exceptional content that AFOLs should not miss. These meager indications were enough to motivate all the most eccentric rants. The release of a set containing a unique minifig like a Rancor for example seems to hold the line in the opinion of AFOLs. We also hear about a chrome R2-D2 or a remake of the Cloud City.
In short, rumors are rife, like every year and everyone will take what they want while waiting to learn a little more ...
