US NEWS - NEW LEGO Toys!!
BY: Greg Edwards

Here's a great list of upcoming Lego products thanks to Knight!

Technic X-Wing
Technic Darth Vader's TIE Fighter
Battle Droid Minstorms kit
Destroyer Droid Minstorms kit
AT-AT Mindstorms kit
Pit Droid Mindstorms kit
Slave I (with Fett removable helmet and Han in carbonite!)
B-Wing Fighter
A-Wing Fighter
Tatooine Skiff
AAT
MTT
Two Kaadus with Qui-Gon Jinn
Millenium Falcon (with Han, Luke, Leia, R2-D2, C-3PO, Chewbacca and Obi-Wan)
These toys are 100% confirmed, and I hope to have some pictures soon.

Absolutely not.  There is no way that this list is accurate.  From what I
hear, Lego is not doing any more Episode 1 sets at all.  So you can cross off
the AAT, MTT and the Two Kaadus right away.  Also, multiple mindstorm sets?
No possible way.  To date there are only 2 expansions, now suddenly there are
4 more and all star wars.  I don't think so.  Were still waiting for the Mars
Expedition kit.  Finally, I read that there will be 10 new sets for the new
year. All of them are System, not Mindstorms, not Technic, not Model Team,
only System.  So you can now cross off 9 of those sets above and that leaves
you with 5, 2 of which are confirmed.  And it was mentioned "there is a reason
Boba Fett is on the Star Wars logo", so the Slave 1 is a very possible third.
So, let your mind run wild about the remaining 7 sets, and I think Lego has
heard your plea, it was rumored there very well may be a Storm Trooper pack. I
am hoping for a Boarding the Corvette set which includes a bunch of Storm
Troopers and a Darth Vader, just like at the beginning of A New Hope.   So far
the previous list of rumored sets is 100% accurate.  The list above is BS.
I'll eat a Jar Jar minifig if the list above is 100% accurate.
