The LEGO® Star Wars™ Adventure Continues in 2016 with Building Sets, Buildable
Figures and an Original Television Series
Fan favorites from the Star Wars saga, Star Wars Rebels™ animated series, and
an all-new cast of original Star Wars characters to receive LEGO® treatment
NEW YORK, Feb. 11, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- NORTH AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL TOY FAIR
-- LEGO Systems, Inc. today announced a robust slate that will drive continued
excitement for the LEGO® Star Wars™ product line, the company’s first-ever
licensed theme collection that today is a perennial favorite among fans of all
ages. From sets based on Star Wars: The Force Awakens, to those inspired by a
new original animated series, LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures to sets
based on the upcoming Star Wars: Rogue One film, the 2016 LEGO Star Wars
collection is one of the largest and most diverse since its 1999 introduction.
“For more than 16 years, children and kids at heart have recreated the Star Wars
story through LEGO play, and this year we will give them even more stories and
characters to explore,” said Jill Wilfert, vice president of licensing and
entertainment for the LEGO Group. “Our collaboration with Disney and Lucasfilm
enables us to bring fun and creative LEGO twists to the Star Wars universe,
which is why we’re so thrilled to introduce an original LEGO Star Wars
television series this year. New original characters and stories, plus two
inspired building sets, will bring fans of all ages even more reasons to build
and explore with LEGO Star Wars.”
The LEGO Group is celebrating the Saga in more ways than ever before, showcasing
how building with LEGO bricks inspires open-ended creativity and sparks
imagination. New building sets offer the chance to create the stories fans know
and love while also empowering them to create their own adventures. For the
second year running, a line of buildable LEGO figures brings new heroes and
villains to life in a unique role-play experience.
LEGO Star Wars: The Freemaker Adventures
To continue inspiring imagination and storytelling, LEGO Star Wars: The
Freemaker Adventures, an original animated series, will debut later this year on
Disney XD. The show’s quirky heroes, the Freemakers, are a family of scavengers
who build and sell starships from the scoured debris of space battles strewn
throughout the galaxy. When the youngest Freemaker discovers a natural
connection to the Force through an ancient artifact, his world turns upside down
as he and his family find themselves in an epic struggle against the Empire to
restore peace and freedom to the galaxy. Throughout their adventures, the
Freemakers explore new worlds, meet new (and familiar) characters, and learn the
true value of what it means to be a family. The series combines the excitement,
action and adventure of a galaxy far, far away with a dose of brick-building
humor for which LEGO content is best known. Two building sets based on the
series – Eclipse Fighter™ ($29.99) and StarScavenger™ ($49.99) – launch this
summer.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens
Fans of Star Wars: The Force Awakens can bring scenes and characters from the
2015 blockbuster home with eight new film-inspired building sets. Five are
available now, one launches in March and two follow in June. More than 10
characters from the film are represented in minifigure form for the first time
through the collection, including First Order Snowtroopers (First Order
Snowspeeder), Resistance Troopers (Resistance Trooper Battle Pack), Maz Kanata
(Battle on Takodana), Admiral Ackbar and General Leia Organa (Resistance Troop
Transporter). Assortment prices range from $9.99-$79.99.
Star Wars Saga
In March, builders can expect seven new building sets based on the original Star
Wars Saga. Characters from the Dark Side and Light Side ban together in the
Rebel Alliance Battle Pack and Galactic Empire™ Battle Pack, and classic scenes
get the brick treatment in the Carbon-Freezing Chamber, Hoth™ Attack and Droid™
Escape Pod sets. Collection prices range from $24.99-$29.99.
Star Wars: Rebels
Five new LEGO construction sets inspired by the Disney XD animated series, Star
Wars Rebels, launch in March, and three more follow in June. For a quick build
loaded with action and a unique LEGO minifigure, fans can choose from The
Ghost™, TIE Advanced Prototype™, Wookiee™ Gunship or AT-DP™ building sets, or
they can build Kanan’s Speeder Bike construction toy, complete with three
minifigures. Set prices range from $9.99 - $119.99.
Buildable Figures
The debut of Star Wars buildable figures last year continues with six new
buildable figures, available now, based on the characters Rey, First Order
Stormtrooper, Poe Dameron, Finn, Kylo Ren and Captain Phasma. Additional
buildable figures will be unveiled throughout the year. Figures range from
$19.99-$29.99.

Builders

Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back in an unbelievably detailed recreation of
one of the most iconic scenes in the original Star Wars trilogy. The 2,144-piece
building set inspires fans to build their own scouting missions with the

speeder bike to help Luke, Han and the other Rebel heroes. The modular design
