Darth Lego Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I was on Eurobricks earlier today and I came across these nice pictures of the new Summer 2013 Lego Star Wars sets. Looks like a great wave especially for Episode Two fans IMO. 6 of the 8 sets are remakes of previously released sets. Do you think these sets will do well or do you think most of these sets will flop on the secondary market when they retire? Link to the Eurobricks post.

dakotahorn Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Wow... I am not unimpressed. Funny thing about these is they all appeal to almost a different Star Wars audience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicblast Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I'm pretty optimistic about these sets! I am not sure about the Mandolarian Speeder because the SW the Clone Wars TV show doesn't run anymore, so it isn't really documented visually in any film, possibly lowering it's investment purposes. I do love the figures though! I think that the Gunship will do well, mainly because all the Gunships have increased a couple times their original retail. Jabba's Sail Barge looks pretty ok, it looked bad in the preliminary images, but now, I like it. Favorite part is the deck gun. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Mack Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 All the sets look like solid remakes or a slightly better than average set. Nothing special, but no bad either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicblast Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 All of these sets look really good to me. I am looking forward to the AT-TE, Jabba's Sail Barge, Dooku vs. Yoda, Tank Droid, Spider Droid, and Republic Gunship. Unfortunately, these are almost all going to be MSRP'ed over around $100, excluding 2 of them, so I will have to save up to get them, and try to get some of the sets that are already out too.

TheDarkness Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 There are a few sets in there that I want personally. It certainly is a better line than the last Star Wars one we received. I think there is a bit of value here to be made by investors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fcbarcelona101 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 The Sail Barge should do well, maybe not as much as the previous one but still. I really hate the fact that I don't have even one set from the prequels in my personal collection, but for some reason I just can't seem to relate/enjoye them at all. The only one of these sets I will probably buy is going to be the Sail Barge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I missed out on the 7675 AT-TE and the 7676 Republic Gunship back when those sets came out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exciter1 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 I'll be getting multiples of the Gunship, Sail Barge, and AT-TE and maybe add the speeder with Cyborg Maul to my personal collection. I'll get multiples of all if I find them on clearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackjack Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Thanks for the pics. This got a lot of hits really fast! It's nice to have a fresh take on the Duel on Geonosis set. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diabolos80 Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 I don't own any of the previous barges or gunships, but i've drooled over pictures... I don't think these new ones measure up. The old sail barge had a much nicer profile. And the new gunship seems closer to the first one instead of 7676. 7676 had the fully closing bay doors and the different squadron stickers. This one looks incomplete in comparison. Anyway, when I first saw pictures of these from toy fair I didn't feel so guilty about buying all the retired sets i wanted, because i don't think i want any of these new ones. That goes for the lotr sets, too. Except the pirate ship ambush, i'll definitely pick up that one. As for investment, do yall really think the third iteration the gunship will perform well?

StarCityBrickCompany Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Thanks for the pics. This got a lot of hits really fast! It's nice to have a fresh take on the Duel on Geonosis set. Yea - I like the looks of the Duel on Geonosis set. I still think the Barge & Walker sets look a bit odd (too small) - but at least it should help the old ones keep some value. The Gunship looks great (again). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOrcKing Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 Mandalorian Speeder, JEK-14's Stealth Starfighter, Homing Spider Droid, and Corporate Alliance Tank Droid are my picks (for myself mainly). Little Max Rebo is still the only reason I would get Jabba's Sail barge. Yeah, I'm wierd like that. Screw the build! Give me my oddball alien that was on screen for like 2 seconds. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Studebricker Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Despite the remakes, I am okay with this wave. When the remakes are sets someone wouldn't mind having multiples of anyway (like Clone Wars ships/droids) then it is less annoying for long term collectors. Don't know what I'm going to do with another sail barge, but oh well, I'm hooked at this point... ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are both fantastic sets and the remakes complement the older sets nicely IMO. Builders/collectors like this because they can add more of a certain ship to their collection without having to pay the secondary market prices. Investors generally look at it as a good thing unless the remake looks worse or the remake is overpriced. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
