These sets look pretty good, especially the Geonosis ones (all those new jedi). The prices are down because they are re-makes, but the figs are quite nice. Finally a chicken legged Darth Maul! Can't wait till episode seven, hopefully put the money, (and fresh ideas) back into this theme!

There are some solid sets, but nothing special. I'm still waiting to see this rumored UCS X-Wing...if there is one at all. Overall, I can see this theme just treading water until 2015.

If they do an X-Wing I will be pumped! Not even for investing purposes, but just because it's an X-Wing!!!

The 18 different x-wings that lego has already made isn't good enough?

Exactly!! This is why I am discounting this rumor until I see it with my own eyes!

you must be new here lol ;)

Star Wars definately needs new material for Lego sets. The Geonosis sets, although cool and with solid figs, are almost exact replicas of the 2008-2009 Clone Wars versions!

Where are you all seeing the new sets? I may want to sell some sets if some are being re-issued.... Geonosis stuff always seems to be good, even though I have quite a few of these sets.

they are watching new york toy fair vids on youtube . they are showing alot of good stuff

I am getting tired of all these remakes. I will be especially incredulous if the UCS X-Wing turns out to be real. There are still a ton of sets that have never been made! Before a UCS remake of the X-Wing, how about an A-wing? The Slave I? A regular Tie Fighter? Even a T-16 Skyhopper? There are lots of ships that haven't gotten the UCS treatment yet. As for regular sets, there are tons of settings that haven't been covered (or adequately covered) yet. A large Cantina set, Ben Kenobi's hut, or the Mos Eisley spaceport. A hoth set of an ion cannon and/or power generator (rather than more Hoth "bases"). Some sets that are based on scenes on Yavin or Dagobah. There is still lots of untapped potential and that is just from the Original Trilogy!

Yes, how could you tell?

It was a bit of sarcasm, but if they were to remake any of the UCS I wouldn't mind them doing the X-Wing. I would think you would want to do it more around the 15th anniversary though. Either way, I do agree that there are plenty of things they could do first. I might be the only one, but I would really like to see them start to branch out and start doing UCS outside of Star Wars. Anyone else feel this way?

Yes - The never ending remakes (of remakes) have (in my opinion) been largely to blame for the decline in demand for Star Wars sets (both the new & out of production sets).

As someone who likes both building and collecting my thought is, as long as they keep improving the set and don't overdue the recycling of it, I tend not to get to worked up about it. After all, the majority of these sets are directed at kids, and as much as I feel like a kid when I see an old classic set I have always wanted, I can actually afford them now, most kids can't. So as much as it upsets the investor, as long as the market is around, they will continue to produce for the new generations of lego fans. And that is something I feel we should all be thankful for.

Brickset has some good pictures they put out today.

Brickset has some good pictures they put out today.Ok, thanks! Some of the sets look decent, though most of the "new" ones are from the Clone Wars TV show. In my opinion, the vehicles, buildings, scenes, characters in the Clone Wars are a bit blah-ish. Here is my personal review of the different sets that stuck out to me:

-The new Mandolarians look awesome, with the new black armor, however!

-The Lego versions of Star Wars scenes from the Original Trilogy are awesome as usual.

-Anyone know anything about those "Old Republic vs. Sith" sets? They aren't in any movies or TV shows, so I am not sure about the market-ability of them. Some of the minifigs are a little funny looking, ie, the 75018 Jek-14's Starfighter blue stormtrooper guy.

-The new AT-TE looks decent, especially since it looks like it will be going for $90. New gray-looking Jedi who and a regular looking Mace Windu.

-Republic Gunship looks really similar to the old versions. $119 so it will have to have a good discount for me to buy it.

-Advent Calender has a bunch of the old minifigs except for "Exclusive Jango Fett" + Boba Fett in a Santa suit.

I agree with you 1000%. The possible remake of the X-Wing is a financial winner for LEGO though. They like to reintroduce these older sets to young and new fans, giving them a chance to buy one at retail, instead of inflated secondary prices. It's smart business, but hurts the collector.

I don't think the Mandalorian's gray legs look so great, they should have given them some leg printing.

JEK 14's Stealth Starfighter, although it may have a nice design, looks like a MOC with custom figs on some Lego Blog. :(

I don't think the Mandalorian's gray legs look so great, they should have given them some leg printing.But their body armor does look awesome. Kind of has the same look as the helmet for "Vladek" that Chowren Toys is selling right now...

Lego must really be trying to compensate for the remake factor with the prices of these sets. The Tank Droid has about 50 more pieces than the 2009 version, better minifigs, and it's $5 cheaper! The Gunship has the same price tag as the 2008 varient, but with about 150 more pieces.

Most of the remakes have had more pieces, not just recently. For example:

-The SW Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator released in 2011 had 479 pieces and costed $69.99 (though this was constantly on sale and easy to get for less that $50).

-The 2007 one had 310 pieces, but only costed $29.99.

-The 1999 version had 244 pieces and also costed $29.99.

The 2011 version had double the amount of pieces, and 4 minifigures but the 1999 version had 1 minifigure.

On the other hand, the 2011 version also costed over double the price of the old one.

What I am basically am trying to say is that the remaking of sets does not necessarily mean more pieces and a better value for your pieces, but in some cases it does.

What DOES suck, is that there are now five Yoda varients, if you include Sant Yoda. :(

Just wait until the Yoda Spin-Off movie comes out.

A little off topic from Yoda. I am very excited for the new Republic Gunship. I'm not a big fan of the prequels, but that is probably my favorite ship from those movies.
