Mirandir, a seemingly knowledgeable Eurobricks forumer, provides some clarification and summarizes the information he has about the LEGO Star Wars lineup in 2012 and the new turn the manufacturer intends to take to attract more fans:
LEGO will change the format of its Battle Packs which will now include two factions in order to guarantee immediate playability.
The first Battle Pack planned will be on the Endor theme with 2 Rebel Troopers, 1 Scout Trooper with a speeder, 1 Stormtrooper and a tree equipped with a missile launcher (LEGO loves to put missile launchers everywhere).
The planned seocnd Battle Pack will be on the Clone Wars theme with 2 Commandos Droids, 1 ARC Trooper and 1 ARF Trooper. A Republic cannon will also be included in this BP.
So there will be 11 sets planned for the first wave in 2012. 6 "System" sets, 2 "Special Edition" and 3 sets of the new concept I told you about in a previous article.
This new concept is a kind of collectible set which will consist of a minifigure, a support and parts to assemble. These different sets can be exhibited together and will form a whole (In what form?). The selling price will be $ 9.99 or € 9.99 per unit, and 3 sets of this type will be marketed each year.
Among the sets of the first wave of 2012, only one will be oriented OT (Original Trilogy) and two others will be based on Episode I. Mirandir says that LEGO still wants to globalize its sets in the Star Wars universe without necessarily basing them on one movie or another.
Finally, the set containing Queen Amidala will not be marketed during the first wave of 2012.
