LEGO has asked the Ambassadors to gather information for a new Star Wars set.
Please leave your comments/ideas, and we will pass them on to TLG. Thanks.



LEGO Star Wars will celebrate its 10th anniversary in 2009. It is been 10 fantastic, very successful years, with great models, and very loyal and engaged fans. Thank you for your support and enthusiasm throughout all those years ! To celebrate our anniversary we would like to develop a special Ultimate Collector model at retail price of around 150 USD/EUR. We would like to get your ideas, input as to what model would celebrate our anniversary best and express best LEGO Star Wars values. We are collecting input from different sources including Lucasfilm team. Therefore we can not commit that any model suggested by fans will be launched in 2009, if there is an awesome novelty coming out of Lucasfilm studios. Please share your ideas by answering the following questions:

1. What model do you recommend that LEGO Star Wars launches in October 2009 as celebration of LEGO Star Wars 10th anniversary?

2. Should it be a model in minifigure scale or a big display model?

3. Which key characters / minifigs should be included if the model is minifigure scale?

4. What key functions should be included?


Thank you.

I think a Star Wars version of (URL) 3723 LEGO Mini-Figure> (retail price $150) would be perfect. A few years ago (URL) LEGO auctioned a similar statue of Jango Fett>. I don't think you could choose just one character who epitomizes Star Wars, so (...) (17 years ago, 23-Jan-08, to lugnet.ambassadors, FTX)

I have 2 suggestions: 1.A Darth Vader bust or sculpture similar in size and price point to the darth maul bust (URL) set of 2 smallish sets that together make up the Death Star Detention Block.

(...) I would like to see Luke's land speeder with R2D2, C3PO, Ben and Luke in LEGOLAND Miniland scale. Maybe with a spring suspension on three wheels to give it a "floaty" feel. just my 2 cents, Darrin (17 years ago, 24-Jan-08, to lugnet.ambassadors, FTX)
  Re: LEGO Star Wars Anniversary Set - Help Decide
 
I vividly remember back in 1999 first seeing the LEGO logo for Episode I ((URL)) and being really excited for the minifigs that looked to be in production. Well forward 10 years and we still do not have that cool looking Queen Amidala figure with (...) (17 years ago, 24-Jan-08, to lugnet.ambassadors, FTX)

  Re: LEGO Star Wars Anniversary Set - Help Decide
 
(...) Luke's uncle's house. Minifig scale, with lift-off roof and full interior detail. Since much of it is underground, feel free to surround the bottom of it with tan BURPs/LURPs to fake the underground aspect. Include the shop area with a droid (...)

  Re: LEGO Star Wars Anniversary Set - Help Decide
 
I'd like to see the minifig scale Lars homestead with Luke, Owen, Beru C-3PO, R2-D2 & 2 Jawas. The 'dome home' should be big enough to open to show a table (new 4x4 circle plate) with 3 trans blue cups (for blue milk), white kitchen, a computer,& a (...)

(...) I think this is a difficult question to answer, as there have been so many great sets and innovations that have come from the star wars line. Personally I have really enjoyed many of the sets but I have not displayed any of them mostly due to (...) (17 years ago, 24-Jan-08, to lugnet.ambassadors, FTX)

I Think we should have an endor bunker set it ended the starwars series of movies and it would be a great way to end 10years of starwars lego. ewoks and rebels in a mini fig size forest scene would be great we all have enough stormies now days (...)

(...) I would like to see a UCS Imperial Shuttle (like set 7166) at minifigure scale.

Here's my idea: A playset re-creation of the Death Star trench battle from Episode IV. I'd love to see two minifig X-wings (Luke and Wedge), with Vader's Tie Fighter, and a semi-built up trench (read--LOTS of er..new..gray), perhaps with a turret or (...)

(...) The mini-fig scale version of the cantina including the sliding front door, droid detector, bar, stage, and booth tables. Then include the minifigs for the band, pilots, thieves, and bounty hunters that inhabit it. (17 years ago, 24-Jan-08, to lugnet.ambassadors, FTX)
  Re: LEGO Star Wars Anniversary Set - Help Decide
 
I’d suggest that instead of yet another minifig-based set (which you can do any time you want), go for something that you otherwise might not do. The first thing that springs to mind is a sculpture of Darth Vader and Luke dueling with lightsabers, (...) (17 years ago, 24-Jan-08, to lugnet.ambassadors, FTX)

(...) Definitely playset. Death Star would be terrific, although Naboo City and Jedi Temple both have enormous potential. -Teddy (17 years ago, 24-Jan-08, to lugnet.ambassadors, FTX)
  Re: LEGO Star Wars Anniversary Set - Help Decide
 
Do not under any circumstances choose a set with Ewoks. The Ewok celebration is the anticlimax of Star Wars. A commemorative set should remind us of all that is good about Star Wars and Lego. How about a scene that has not yet been done, with all (...) (17 years ago, 25-Jan-08, to lugnet.ambassadors, FTX) !

I will first list standard stuff TLU will likely do anyway so I can take credit for them... :p UCS TIE Fighter UCS A-Wing UCS B-Wing My real suggestion is: A 'not-to-scale' minifig playset of the blockade runner, like the 6211.

Hello! Jabba’s Palace. The whole building, not just some play scene set. Bye Jojo (17 years ago, 26-Jan-08, to lugnet.ambassadors)

(...) I'd certainly buy R2D2/C3PO sculptures, but something more "playable" might appeal to a wider audience. Theed palace/throne room or Amidala's starship from Episode 1 would be good options.

  Queen Amidala's royal starship in CHROME
 
Many Star Wars fans have been clamoring for a Queen Amidala mini-fig in one of her royal outfits for years. This would be an opportunity to make that happen. I think an all-chrome exterior ship would be great as a way of letting fans know that this (...) (17 years ago, 27-Jan-08, to lugnet.ambassadors, FTX)
  Re: LEGO Star Wars Anniversary Set - Help Decide
 
(...) A 9 volt train which has technic wheels and new track geometry with wider radius curves in original dark grey. Oh and you better put Boba Fett as an engineer with 200 storm troopers in the coaches. (17 years ago, 28-Jan-08, to lugnet.ambassadors, FTX)
  Re: LEGO Star Wars Anniversary Set - Help Decide
 
(...) Two models! USD 150 price range - each. R2D2 + C3PO. Nothing symbolizes the Star Wars saga better than those two characters. Display scale. With sound FX. -Morten (17 years ago, 29-Jan-08, to lugnet.ambassadors, FTX)
  Re: LEGO Star Wars Anniversary Set - Help Decide
 
(...) It's a long shot and might be hard to pull off as a single kit, but I'd like to see a minifig-scale Order 66 diorama set, with the recreations of the scenes in Revenge of the Sith where the various Jedi get taken out. It'd be a good (...) (17 years ago, 19-Feb-08, to lugnet.ambassadors, FTX)
