2011
Do you want more ? Even bigger? Want to be able to appreciate every detail of the new sets for June 2011?

Even if we end up going around in circles with this information on the June sets and we still do not have any information on the two mystery sets, namely the sets 7877 - Naboo Fighter et 7879 - Hoth Echo Base if not some vague rumors about their price or the fact that the Naboo Fighter would be a remake of the set 7660 - Naboo N-1 Starfighter with Vulture Droid, you can still feast your eyes on these large format visuals.

In short, the high definition photos were posted by grogall on Eurobricks, and I give you direct links to the visuals concerned below.

    12649890338 SPLASHFollowing Chris's comment on the previous HOTH diorama, I'm also posting some info and a video on the one made by Brickplumber, which still remains an absolute reference in Diorama.
    His first diorama on the battle of HOTH can be seen in the book "Lego Star Wars: The Visual Dictionary".
    It consisted of approximately 60.000 pieces and was destroyed in transit back from an exhibit at LEGOLand in California. Brickplumber then decided to reconstruct this scene, but bigger, more beautiful, more detailed ....
    This new MOC sets the bar very high: 300 hours of intensive work spread over 6 months, more than 100.000 parts, a hundred minifigs, hangar doors powered by 9V regulators, more than 170 LEDs to recreate realistic interior lighting and faithful to the atmosphere of the film, a UCS Falcon fully customized for the occasion with an extremely detailed interior, 3 AT-AT Walkers composed of approximately 5000 pieces each and equipped with motorized functions for the descent of the troops, turrets of defense with light blaster, dozens of rooms such as a cafeteria, barracks, snowspeeder sheds, etc ...

    The level of detail is simply impressive, we never tire of discovering this battle scene from every angle.
    And even if you have already seen this MOC somewhere, you still have a lot of mini-scenes to discover on the various photo galleries commented by Brickplumber himself:

    Snowspeeders and Speeder Bikes are mounted on rails and both AT-ATs are motorized.
