After giving us a peek at things to come during this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, Swiss online toy retailer Meinspielzeug has listed what seems to be our first batch of upcoming LEGO Star Wars 2020 sets. Images are still missing of course since its understandable that they may still be under an embargo. However, since we’re just essentially a couple of months away before their January 2020 release, some retailers are now gradually updating their databases.
If you also recall back in August, there was a rumor going around that LEGO might be releasing another set similar to that of the LEGO Star Wars busts that were initially offered as exclusives. As it seems, builds that follow the genre of such sets like the LEGO Star Wars Darth Vader Bust (75227) which was released as a Target 2019 Star Wars Celebration exclusive, and the LEGO Star Wars Sith Trooper Bust (77901) exclusively offered to SDCC 2019 attendees, will now be offered mainstream. Meinspielzeug has now confirmed this, together with a handful of other upcoming LEGO Star Wars sets that you might want to keep tabs with and save on for your post-Christmas LEGO purchases.
Here are some of the listings for these LEGO Star Wars 2020 sets as confirmed on Meinspielzeug’s website. As of now, only the set’s piece count and retail price (in Swiss Francs) are posted, but I guess this will suffice in giving us an early impression of how these sets will measure up.
- Microfighters: Y-wing (75263) – 86 pieces
- Microfighters: Kylo Ren’s TIE Shuttle (75264)– 72 pieces
- Microfighters: Bantha and T-16 Skyhopper vs. Bantha (75265)– 198 pieces
- First Order Trooper Battle Pack (75266) – 105 pieces
- The Mandalorian Battle Pack (75267)– 102 pieces
- Snowspeeder (75268) – 91 pieces
- Duel on Mustafar (75269)– 208 pieces
- TIE Dagger (75272) – 470 pieces
- Resistance X-wing (75273) – 761 pieces
- Stormtrooper Bust (75276) – 647 pieces
- Boba Fett Bust (75277) – 625 pieces
What I also find interesting is the fact that both the Stormtrooper and Boba Fett Busts seem to have almost twice the number of pieces as compared to its predecessors, giving the impression that they are considerably larger.
Other interesting sets that I’m looking forward to is the Mandalorian Battle Pack and that TIE Dagger. Both are new sets under the LEGO Star Wars theme considering that the former is a direct tie-in under the Disney+ Mandalorian series (which is about to launch in a few hours), while the latter is a new Star Wars vehicle that we will see in the big screen when Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker debuts next month.
So what do you think of this list of new LEGO Star Wars 2020 sets? Which of them are you looking forward to? Comment down below to share your thoughts.
I heard the X-Wing is white and orange, I don’t have an X Wing so I might get this one! Excited for the Duel on Mustafar because Episode III is epic as heck and they don’t make many of those sets. Hope the First Order battle pack comes with Sith Troopers.
It will be awesome to have those Sith Troopers in minifig forms. I think that Duel on Mustafar set will go nicely with Darth Vader’s Castle, and I’m particularly looking forward to that new TIE Dagger. 🙂
