Available for Mac and WindowsThese are Star Wars Lego sets you're looking for. Lego may be keeping upcoming Star Wars Episode VIII Lego sets under wraps — they literally had nothing to show for the upcoming film at New York Toy Fair — but that doesn't mean there aren't a whole bunch of new Star Wars sets on the horizon. Lego has dozens of new sets and character variations, even tiny Mini Figures. The new Lego sets traverse, among others, Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story and Star Wars Rebels TV series. Instead of presenting everything Lego has planned for the Star Wars Universe, we picked out the five coolest sets, ones that you'll probably want to add to your collection. 1. Darth Vader Transformation The transformationImage: lance ulanoff/mashable Anakin is back there.Image: lance ulanoff/mashableThis 282-piece set is a recreation of the transformation chamber from Star Wars: Episode III (perhaps the only watchable episode from George Lucas' prequels).
The set also manages to make the Sith Lord's transformation fun. On one side of a tiny Lego table lies the scarred, broken Anakin Skywalker without his helmet. You press in a dial, twist and the table turns to reveal the suited-up (or rebuilt) Darth Vader. It ships in June for $24.99. 2. The Battle on Scarif Lego palm trees made the cut. Always remember the Lego Battle on Scarif. — Lance Ulanoff (@LanceUlanoff) February 20, 2017 Has there ever been a more tragic scene depicted in Lego? Spoiler Alert: A lot of bad stuff goes down on Scarif during Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. The 419-piece Lego set features most of the key Rogue One characters, including Jyn Erso and Cassian Andor. It ships in March for $49.99. Run for your lives!Image: Lance Ulanoff/mashableOne of the most action-packed and, yes, funniest scenes in Star Wars: Episode VII is Hans Solo, Chewbacca, Rey and Finn's escape from the insane, octopus-like Rathtar's while on board Solo's freighter, the Eravana.
The 836-piece set has all the key characters, a multiple Rathtars and cage for the monster. It ships in June for $79.99.Image: lance ulanoff/mashableOne of the best things about Lego's Star Wars series is all the inventive ways the toy company figures out how to recreate the special effects wizardry from the movies. The usually outdo themselves on the spacecraft, The Y-Wing Starfighter from Rogue One is no exception. At 691 pieces, it's impressively detailed and even includes the "evil" R2, the C2 B5. The set ships in March for $59.99 5: Jaku Quad Jumper You can blow this one up, too.Image: lance ulanoff/mashableThis Quad Jumper will get more playtime on your desk than it did in Star Wars: Episode VII. It's the ship Finn and Rey plan to make a getaway in until The First Order Tie fighters blow it to smithereens. Now you get to rebuild it out of 457 pieces. It ships in June for $49.99.

However there have been so many figures released, some very common and some quite rare and expensive that it is likely that the answer will vary by which figure in particular you seek.You can search online for vendors that sell replicas for a cheaper price. If you want authentic LEGO, I'm sorry to say they are hard to find cheap, meaning below market prices and secondary market prices, for figures not available at national retailers. Sellers know too well the popularity of these pieces and will not sell below the going rates.Some rare Lego sets are now selling for literally thousands of pounds online, as enthusiasts snap up the popular toys. But it's not just rare pieces that are selling well, with standard sets now frequently worth more than when they were new and even old bags of unsorted bricks in demand. “With the soar in popularity of Lego with both adults and children, the effect on the values of both rare, hard to find sets and new releases has been incredible," said Bev Channell, event director for Lego event BRICK 2015, running at Birmingham's NEC this week.
“It’s well worth searching through your old sets to see what treasures are hiding there.” The bigger, rarer sets tend to be worth the most - but with Lego frequently refreshing its range that means any old set that's large enough could be worth upwards of £1,000. Currently, these are the most valuable sets: Sadly, to get the best prices for your Lego, it needs to be “mint in box” - which means not opened since it was bought and still factory sealed. The good news for people who want to play with their toys is that you can still get good returns for assembled models – as long as there are no pieces missing. The easiest Lego sets to sell are Star Wars themed, with Millennium Falcons, Death Stars and X-Wings all selling well – and some prices in the thousands. But there's much more than just Star Wars selling. A look at the best-selling kits on BrickPicker shows trains, play houses, dinosaurs, Harry Potter sets, Back to the Future Deloreans and Pirate sets all featuring.
Most of the sales take place on eBay, with BrickPicker providing lists of the top selling and biggest rising prices – as well as a tool letting you compare the price of sets. You can also search on eBay for sold prices of similar sets. If you've got a box of Lego, rather than a specific set, you can bulk-sell as well – although prices for these are a lot lower. That said, if you have the time and can split the box out by category (be it Star Wars, pirates, Medieval, Technic or whatever) these smaller – more specific - bundles will frequently sell for more than a job-lot of unsorted bricks. To get the most value, you need to be selling pristine-condition Lego toys. “As with any sort of collectible, the safe storage of the collectible is very important,” Ed Mack explains in a piece on How to make money from Lego . “Although the actual Lego brick is pretty much indestructible under normal conditions, the Lego boxes and instructions need special care.” That means quite a lot of space to store them all if you're trying to make money from them, and possibly adding the cost to your insurance.
