LEGO Star Wars Yoda Chronicles promo set

The LEGO Star Wars Yoda Chronicles have been surrounded by quite a bit of mystery and fun-fare, the latest being the super special LEGO Star Wars Yoda Chronicles promotional press kit/set that was sent to members of the press. I was out of town when this set first came to light, but I loved it instantly and definitely wanted to discuss it here to see what you think. First of all, the Yoda Chronicles promo kit came in this awesome box…

And here is a picture of the completed LEGO Star Wars Yoda Chronicles promo set (photo by Andrew Clapman). I really like the curved walls of the Holocron Room. And since I’m a huge fan of translucent blue LEGO pieces, this is definitely eye-candy for me.

Jason from the BrickShow did a great job reviewing this set, so I will let him show you all the details, including the three minifigures and the Holocron Room from all angles. I actually really like the back of the structure too. Also, please note the LEGO Technic brick connection points that may indicate that this set may be able to connect to future releases. 🙄

Please note that in the video Jason refers to the New York event where the life-size LEGO Star Wars X-wing was revealed just a few days ago. I will probably write a separate post about it in the future as this is the largest LEGO model ever made and it’s quite amazing. Back to the LEGO Yoda Chronicles set, I wish it was released as a regular set instead of it being a rarity. If you do like it, and don’t mind spending serious money, you can pick one up on eBay. Here is the link to listings: LEGO Yoda Chronicles Press Kit

So what do you think of the LEGO Star Wars Yoda Chronicles special promo set? And how about the minifigures? Are you planning to buy it, or build it on your own? Feel free to share and discuss in the comment section below! 😉
