Have you seen the images of the 2013 LEGO Star Wars sets yet? They have been circulating around LEGO blogs and forums in the past few days. In my opinion the 2013 LEGO Star Wars sets and especially the minifigures look amazing! 😛

I used to be a big LEGO Star Wars fan, but since Ninjago came out I pretty much neglected Star Wars. But with these new amazing sets I think I might jump back into Star Wars! I love how the new sets are based on the old Star Wars movies. Okay, so let’s look at the pictures! 😉

➡ #75000 LEGO STAR WARS Clone Troopers vs. Droidekas – This battle-pack includes two Battle Droids and two Clone Troopers, and comes with 124 pieces. Also, did you notice the new Star Wars box-art for next year? In the year of 2012 we had Darth Maul, and now Yoda!  Battle-packs usually have a RRP of $13, so I’m guessing that’s what the price will be.

➡ #75001 LEGO STAR WARS Republic vs. Sith Troopers – This is another battle-pack with two Sith troopers and two of the new kind of Republic troopers, which I love! Price should be $13 also.

➡ #75002 LEGO STAR WARS AT-RT – We have seen these walkers before but this one is with a new color scheme, which I think is nice. The three minifigures included are also sweet, although not really unique. My guess is that this set will be about $30.

➡ #75003 LEGO STAR WARS A-wing Starfighter – A nice little A-wing, and it appears that the mechanic comes with a new helmet! Still, I don’t think this set will be such a big hit. At least I’m not crazy about it. Price should be around $25.

➡ #75004 LEGO STAR WARS Z-95 Headhunter – This set has a pretty neat name!  And it comes with three minifigures; one of them is a really interesting character named Pong Krell. He is a four-armed Jedi master who likes to fight with two dual light-sabers. I read somewhere that the piece used for his extra arms is the same as the one used for Lord Garmadon. This set sounds really interesting!

➡ #75005 LEGO STAR WARS Rancor Pit – This set is really cool! I love the big ugly monster! Also, it appears that the Rancor Pit can be attached to #9516 LEGO Star Wars Jabba’s Palace! Since this is a big set, my guess is the price will be around $75.

➡ #75012 LEGO STAR WARS BARC Speeder – This is a smallish set with two speeders and three or four minifigures. I can’t tell for sure as the box shows four minifigures, whereas the other picture only has three. I believe the blue trooper is Captain Rex. I also like Obi-Wan’s new suit.The price is probably around $20.

➡#75013 LEGO STAR WARS Umbarran Mobile Heavy Cannon – This set is really cool even without the minifigures! The heavy cannon is awesome! Four minifigures are included, and I love the new Ahsoka Tano’s new suit! I would say this set would be about $60.

That’s it as far as the LEGO Star Wars sets for 2013 revealed so far! There are also six new sets in the LEGO Star Wars Planets series, but those could be covered in a separate post. And to check out the currently available LEGO Star Wars sets visit the Online LEGO Shop:
