in LEGO Star Wars

I have been asked to provide a close-up and better view of the 2012 LEGO Star Wars poster, so here it is! Please note that this poster is only available by ordering any of the 2012 LEGO Star Wars sets. The offer officially ended a couple of days ago, but it was in fact still available this morning when I wrote this. So, if you want it, this is your last chance! 🙂

Going back to the LEGO Star Wars poster; it is quite large at 24 x 32 inches, and double sided. On the front side (well, I call it the front, but it could be called the back too), you see Luke Skywalker’s awesome #9493 LEGO Star Wars X-Wing Starfighter and the #9492 LEGO Star Wars  TIE Fighter in action. (Click on image, then click the + sign for full-size view).

On the back-side there is a really nice 2012 LEGO Star Wars Minifigure Gallery. (Click on image, then click the + sign for full-size view.)

The minifigs included in the LEGO Star Wars Minifigure Gallery (moving from left to right and top to bottom) are:

  • C-3PO – from #9490 LEGO Star Wars Droid Escape – with the more detailed and movie-accurate torso-print!
  • Princess Leia – from #9495 LEGO Star Wars Gold Leader’s Y-Wing Starfighter – with a really pretty new torso-print.
  • Commander Gree – from #9491 LEGO Star Wars Geonosian Cannon – leader of the clone-trooper unit; Green Company!
  • Luke Skywalker – from #9493 LEGO Star Wars X-Wing Starfighter – a classic figure with a new helmet-print!
  • R5-F7 – from #9495 LEGO Star Wars Gold Leader’s Y-Wing Starfighter – astromech droid with a new, more movie-accurate dome!
  • Obi-Wan Kenobi – from #9494 LEGO Star Wars Anakin’s Jedi Interceptor – dual-side head head, same Jedi-rope as before.
  • ARC (Advanced Recon Commando) Trooper – from #9488 LEGO Star Wars Elite Clone Trooper & Commando Droid Battle Pack – one of the nicest minifigs LEGO ever created! The printing is just gorgeous!
  • R2-D2 – from #9490 LEGO Star Wars Droid Escape – nothing new, just our favorite little droid!
  • Bariss Offee – from #9491 LEGO Star Wars Geonosian Cannon – a Mirialan Jedi, Padawan apprentice to Jedi Master Luminara Unduli.
  • Jek Porkins – from #9493 LEGO Star Wars X-Wing Starfighter – A brave Rebel Pilot under the code-name of Red Six in the Battle of Yavin.
  • Endor Rebel Trooper 1 – from #9489 LEGO Star Wars Endor Rebel Trooper & Imperial Trooper Battle Pack – great to build your rebel army!
  • Gold Leader – from #9495 LEGO Star Wars Gold Leader’s Y-Wing Starfighter – aka. Dutch Vander, a brave Rebel Pilot.
  • Endor Rebel Trooper 2 – from #9489 LEGO Star Wars Endor Rebel Trooper & Imperial Trooper Battle Pack – another great minifig to build your rebel troops or even contemporary army!
  • ARF (Advanced Recon Fighter) Trooper – from #9488 LEGO Star Wars Elite Clone Trooper & Commando Droid Battle Pack – the helmet on this minifigure is really nice, same as the ARF Trooper helmet from last year’s #7913 LEGO Star Wars Clone Trooper Battle Pack, but with different print.
  • R5-D8 – from #9493 LEGO Star Wars X-Wing Starfighter – an awesome little astromech droid with a new and more movie-accurate dome!
  • Anakin Skywalker – from #9494 LEGO Star Wars Anakin’s Jedi Interceptor – dual-sided head, both ugly as the Dark Side. 👿
  • Nute Gunray – from #9494 LEGO Star Wars Anakin’s Jedi Interceptor – his dark-orange & dark-red rope and headgear are quite nice and could be useful in other settings.
  • Security Battle Droid – from #9494 LEGO Star Wars Anakin’s Jedi Interceptor – same old droid as before.
  • Commando Droid – from #9488 LEGO Star Wars Elite Clone Trooper & Commando Droid Battle Pack – nicely designed and printed head!
  • Geonosian Warrior – from #9491 LEGO Star Wars Geonosian Cannon – these guys have some of the nicest torso-prints and those wings are great!
  • Geonosian Zombie – from #9491 LEGO Star Wars Geonosian Cannon – love those zombie eyes!
  • Sandtrooper 1 – from #9490 LEGO Star Wars Droid Escape – the new dirt-print is excellent!
  • Sandtrooper 2 – from #9490 LEGO Star Wars Droid Escape – the dirt-printing is the same as on the first trooper. Also, both of them come with printed heads.
  • Scout Trooper – from #9489 LEGO Star Wars Endor Rebel Trooper & Imperial Trooper Battle Pack– same as in previous years, but now with printed head (same as the Sandtrooper’s).
  • Stormtrooper – from #9489 LEGO Star Wars Endor Rebel Trooper & Imperial Trooper Battle Pack – now torso-print, and printed head (same as the Sandtrooper’s and Scout Trooper’s).
  • Imperial Officer – from #9492 LEGO Star Wars TIE Fighter – nothing special, I believe all parts are the old design.
  • TIE Fighter Pilot – from #9492 LEGO Star Wars TIE Fighter – I never liked this helmet, I think it is too big. But the printing is nice.
  • Death Star Trooper – from #9492 LEGO Star Wars TIE Fighter – interesting new helmet and dual-sided head.
  • R5-J2 – from #9492 LEGO Star Wars TIE Fighter – an Imperial astromech droid stationed on the second Death Star (with the new, more movie-accurate dome).

So, that’s the whole line-up of these awesome minifigs! I believe that the front side of this poster would work great as a backdrop for a LEGO Star Wars display, and the back is an excellent reference to the 2012 LEGO Star Wars minifigs and which sets they come in. I wish it would be possible to get two to see both sides at the same time! Unfortunately only one is allowed per order, but it should be possible to get a second one on BrickLink or eBay, but probably not for free.

Oh, and I should also mention; today is the last day to get double VIP points on these earlier release LEGO Star Wars sets!

Atlanta LEGO career winner!

by on January 30, 2012
in Community News

Congratulations, Joshua!

At the beginning of January the soon-to-open LEGOLAND Discovery Center in Atlanta held a competition for an exciting LEGO career opportunity; to become Atlanta’s Master Model Builder! (If you haven’t heard about this event please read here: Witness the Contest for a LEGO Career!) 

Well, the competition is now over and they have a winner! Below is the official announcement. (Images are courtesy of LEGOLAND Discovery Center Atlanta and Firestine Photography.)

LEGOLAND DISCOVERY CENTER ATLANTA WELCOMES MASTER MODEL BUILDER JOSHUA BOHN

Lifelong LEGO Enthusiast Inspires Budding Brick Buffs, Brings Passion and Energy to New Role

On January 8, Joshua Bohn beat out over a hundred other hopefuls to become Master Model Builder at LEGOLAND Discovery Center Atlanta. A lifelong LEGO lover and five-year brand veteran, Bohn has the Brick Factor to make the LEGOLAND Discovery Center Atlanta experience engaging and fun for guests of all ages.

Competing for an exciting LEGO career in Atlanta

Through a series of creative LEGO challenges, Bohn displayed great innovation and enthusiasm; he was charged with creating three themed models, all out of LEGO bricks. His animal creation featured a koi fish during feeding. Bohn continued to impress with Atlanta icon The Fox Theatre and then solidified his position as Master Model Builder with an inspired homage to art. His final creation showcased the classic drama faces, symbolizing comedy and tragedy, paid tribute to the classic tale of Romeo & Juliet and showcased the artists’ tools of the trade – an art tablet displaying a masterpiece in progress.

Onlookers crowd around contestants to watch

Bohn’s role as Master Model Builder, which will be an essential factor in inserting creative energy at LEGOLAND Discovery Center Atlanta, is two-fold. Not only does he head up the conception and creation of new models throughout the attraction, but he also liaises with young guests to help foster their imaginations and provide a fun, interactive LEGO experience.

“I plan, ultimately, to be a role-model for the future generation of LEGO enthusiasts”, said Bohn. “I am excited to help inspire creativity, entertain and laugh alongside them; and to help bolster their knowledge and skill as LEGO builders.”

Hard at work competing for a LEGO career

A lifelong LEGO enthusiast, Bohn has worked with LEGO in its retail division for five years. Here, he honed his building skills and found his niche in interacting with young guests. He has been recognized for excellence in the workplace throughout his career with LEGO and has even been charged with heading up new retail initiatives. With the support of his store leadership, Bohn embarked upon a new journey to become Master Model Builder. His strong base in LEGO building and customer service is a welcome addition to the team.

“My time with LEGO Brand Retail has really helped prepare me for this new adventure”, said Bohn. “I look forward to not only using my building skills, but also to establishing relationships with the visitors to LEGOLAND Discovery Center Atlanta. Sharing stories and ideas is a rewarding part of this job.”

Contestants with young LEGO fans

Bohn’s enthusiastic attitude and exemplary work ethic have catapulted him far, even at a young age. At LEGOLAND Discovery Center Atlanta, he hopes to continue to inspire his colleagues.

“I think of myself as an inspiration giver”, said Bohn. “We all have moments when we need some extra encouragement or a little pep talk, and I love meeting those needs. I hope to give my team a little inspiration, and look forward to a stimulating, reciprocal environment.”

It's a serious contest, but it is also loads of fun!

Among many sources of his inspiration, he counts his mother and late grandmother as the largest creative influences on his life – as well as the means to his vast LEGO collection and knack for building. Bohn is currently enrolled at Georgia Gwinnett College, pursuing a bachelor’s degree in business administration. He lives in Lawrenceville, Georgia.

LEGOLAND Discovery Center Atlanta is scheduled to open in Phipps Plaza on March 17. This will be the third LEGOLAND Discovery Center in the United States. Described as stepping into the biggest box of LEGO bricks in the world, the $15 million, 30,000-square-foot interactive attraction will feature a MINILAND exhibit which recreates landmark buildings in Atlanta out of LEGO bricks, hands-on play areas, a 4D Cinema, master classes from the LEGO Master Model Builder, LEGO rides, and special party rooms for birthdays and other celebrations. This highly interactive and educational 2-3 hour indoor experience is ideal for families with children. 

Congratulations, Joshua! Hope you continue to have a wonderful LEGO career! And hope to see you in Atlanta one day! 😀
