Lego Star Wars Sets 2010 - 3 New Sets For Late 2010 - AT-AT and Additional! Star Wars Lego is the most preferred of the Lego licensed waves, both when the sets are announced an on the secondary marketplace when sets are discontinued. In 2010 Lego has released two waves of Lego sets, spanning the prequel and original trilogies as effectively as the Clone Wars Television series. In late 2010 Lego release their final wave of Star Wars sets for the year and there are some sweet sets to finish off the year. The 1st set of this final wave is a midi scale version of an Imperial Star Destroyer. Set 8099 is equivalent in scale to last year's Millennium Falcon release, set 7778, which was as well small for minifigures but as well massive to be known as a mini set, therefore the term Midi scale. This is the fourth Imperial Star Destroyer release from Lego, following on the heels of the Ultimate Collector version in 2002, the mini version in 2004 and the minifig scale model in 2006. The Midi Scale Star Destroyer will have 423 pieces and retail for $39.99. It is small and sturdy enough to be held by young hands and flown around the room so wins points for swooshability. Now that the midi scale Millennium Falcon has yet another ship to interact with, Lego may see an boost in sales for this new scale. The second release in late 2010 is yet another fan favourite, the At-At. Surprisingly this is Lego's third minfig scale release of the infamous imperial walker from The Empire Strikes Back. Preceding releases came in 2003 and 2007, the latter becoming a motorized version that could essentially walk making use of a battery power pack. This most up-to-date version, set 8129 will feature the figures C-3PO, Hoth Rebel, Luke Skywalker (Pilot), Han Solo, two Snowtroopers, an AT-AT Driver and General Veers so is set once more in the Hoth atmosphere, not on Endor as some fans were hoping. On the other hand, fans disappointed by the lack of Endor love will delight in the last release for this year, a massive scale Ultimate Collector Series (UCS) version of the stylish Imperial Shuttle. Set 10212 will come with more than 2500 pieces and, as a big bonus, the minifigures of Luke Skywalker, Darth Vader, a shuttle pilot, stormtrooper and Imperial Officer. At 1st impressions, it is a incredibly impressive set that is certain to be in demand, regardless of the price tag point. Combining UCS sets with minifigures was certainly a hit with the UCS Millennium Falcon and it really is fantastic to see Lego continue the trend. Seeking back on the Star Wars Lego releases of 2010 there has been a good mix of sets for distinctive age groups and saga-era fans. The minifigures have been a mixture of amazing redesigns, welcome new characters and old faithful standbys. These last 3 sets are certain to please when they are released in the second half of the year and you never ever know, Lego may possibly have a few far more surprises up their sleeve for Star Wars fans.
