Brickipedia News:Star Wars Ultrabuild Figures to Come in September
by BrickfilmNut January 28, 2015 |
While no photos for most licensed themes are allowed at Nuremberg Toy Fair, Promobricks is reporting that there will be six Star Wars Ultrabuild sets coming out in fall: Promobricks reports them coming out in October, but an earlier JediNews report states September. The sets will be similar to other sets in the Ultrabuild line, though Promobricks also compared them in size and look to 10186 General Grievous, except with less/no TECHNIC. Little other information has been provided so far, except that Boba Fett will be one of the figures. The set numbers and prices are as follows:
It is interesting to note that they are different prices, indicating that the characters will vary quite a bit in size.
So, what do you all think of this news? Is this a good move for LEGO Star Wars? How do you figure the figures will be built. What new parts do you expect? Let us know in the comments!
It's also interesting to note that these upcoming sets are similar in concept to an old CUUSOO/Ideas project by Pekko, which I will link to here. Despite getting healthy amounts of support, the project was eventually archived by LEGO, who said they would not consider the project further, as their license did not allow them to produce such figures. Obviously, though, this has now changed. You can read more on LEGO's response and more over at Brickimedia's Ideas Wiki's page.
Thanks to The Brick Fan for posting this news as well.
Update: The six figures in this wave will be:
- Luke Skywalker (Jedi Knight)
- Darth Vader
- Jango Fett
- Commander Cody
- Obi-Wan Kenobi (Clone Wars era)
- General Grieveous
Thanks to The Toyark for the further info.
