A LEGO fansite appears to have posted the names, prices, number of pieces and set numbers for the upcoming LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens toy kits. We can't say 100 percent for sure that this list is accurate — but it has the air of authenticity to it, conforming to Lego's standards and formats. LEGO afficionados will agree: it feels right.
According to this list, there will be seven LEGO sets based on The Force Awakens, with prices ranging from $20 to upwards of $150.
The list comes from Hothbricks.com, a French website for LEGO enthusiasts. Since we're publishing a translated version of that list, it's possible that the names could turn out to be slightly inaccurate. Or LEGO could always choose to rename them before they're made available for sale. So don't take these details as sacrosanct. Instead, consider them a teaser for what LEGO is going to release.
And in case we haven't spelled it out enough... there be spoilers. Proceed at your own risk.
Here's the list:
| • 75099 Rey's Speeder (193 pieces) - $33.33 • 75100 First Order Snowspeeder (444 pieces) - $61.11 • 75101 First Order Special Forces TIE Fighter (517 pieces) - $85.56 • 75102 Poe's X-Wing Starfighter (717 pieces) - $111.12 • 75103 First Order Transporter (792 pieces) - $127.79 • 75104 Kylo Ren's Command Shuttle (1,004 pieces) - $144.46 • 75105 Millennium Falcon (1,332 pieces) - $183.35 |
That last one probably caught your eye, eh? Fun fact: this will be the eighth version of the Millennium Falcon that LEGO has produced. The last one was released in 2011, boasting 1,254 pieces.
What's most interesting to us about this list is how huge all of these sets are. In the past, when the company would introduce a new line of LEGO sets, it offered a broad range of price points, including tiny sets as low as $10 (or even less). It's entirely possible that this is not a comprehensive list of sets for The Force Awakens, or perhaps this is merely the first wave. But there are no bargains to be seen on this list. These sets start at just over $30, jump to double that price, and continue to climb from there. Most of these things are monster-sized.
So LEGO fans who enjoy having bigger sets to build are in for a treat. But you may want to start saving up now. And decide which vital organs you can do without.
