10212For those who don't yet know, the 10212 Imperial Shuttle set hides a little surprise for fans.
The stickers delivered with this set are written in Aurabesh (Font downloadable here). Each sticker has its own text which when translated gives these sentences:

- Kurt was here and wrote
- Adam made this model
- Come to the dark side we got cookies
- Forehead
(on the screen with a front view of the shuttle)
-Side
(on the screen with a side view of the shuttle)

A sympathetic attention from the designers who will reconcile, if possible, those who consider that the stickers are a heresy, and who regret the screen-printed pieces of yesteryear.

6968I particularly like the mini SW sets, and checking on brick set the list of models released so far I came across this model: 6968-1: Wookiee Attack.

We can find traces of this set at LEGO because the instructions are available for download in pdf format.

But apparently this set was never released, without explanation from TLC.
Could not find more information about this ghost set, which you can still add to your collection using the instructions.

66377Seen on eBay at this address, a 3in1 SuperPack with the reference 66377, consisting of the following 2011 references: 7869 Battle For Geonosis, 7913 Clone Trooper Battle Pack and 7914 Mandalorian Battle Pack.

No wonder, there have been SuperPacks in the past, but in this case, the sets that make it up have only just come out on the market.

Note that sets 7913 and 7914 are on sale everywhere separately, but that set 7869 is exclusive to the LEGO Shop, at least for now.

At the moment this set seems to be only available in Germany at a price of 69 €. Another set for which we will have to fight on eBay ...... and pay a high price.

yaviniv sketch01You are a collector of LEGO Star Wars sets, well you are missing one ....

And for good reason, this "Yavin Base" set has never been marketed and has remained as a prototype.

Too bad, that would have made it possible to have a few dozen Tan parts and above all a reduced-size X-Wing with a different design from what we've seen for years with successive reissues.

For those who are interested in reproducing this set, here is the Lego Digital Designer file in .lxf format resulting from the reverse engineering work carried out by crabboy329.
