Lego’s bringing three buildable figures and five new sets to the party. Let’s look at them! Sargent Jyn Erso is front and center in the collection, as she should be, charging into battle as a buildable figure that looks a lot like Rey from The Force Awakens. K-2SO and a Deathtrooper (scary) round out the buildable figure selection.
The rest are an assortment of old, new, and old-made-new vehicle playsets, because this is a movie that features a lot of vehicles. All of these sets should be available on September 30, Force Friday Part Two. 75153 - AT-ST Walker Go on the hunt for Baze and the Rebel Trooper aboard the All Terrain Scout Transport. Open the top hatch, load up the AT-ST Driver and move the legs to speed into action. When you’ve tracked them down, turn the wheel to rotate the top and prepare to fire the spring-loaded shooters! Can Baze and the trooper escape the advancing AT-ST? That’s for you to decide... $39.99 75152 - Imperial Assault Hovertank Help Chirrut battle the Imperial Assault Hovertank as it patrols the streets. This tough urban patrol vehicle has a two-minifigure cockpit and a rotating and elevating turret gun with spring-loaded shooters to target enemies of the Empire. And if the rebel forces hide out of sight, open the storage container, grab the blasters and play out your own mini urban battles!
75154 - TIE Striker Prepare for launch with the amazing TIE Striker, the Empire’s atmospheric patrol fighter! Open the minifigure cockpit from the top or front and put in the TIE Pilot. Help the Imperial ground crew member put supplies in the rear hold and arm the spring-loaded shooters. Then adjust the huge wings and launch into the skies in search of rebels! 75156 - Krennic’s Imperial Shuttle When a tough transport ship is needed, Krennic’s Imperial Shuttle is the perfect choice. Put him into the pilot seat, open out the thick-armor plating and seat the Death Troopers. Lower the ramp and check the blasters are secured, then arm the spring-loaded shooters and seal the hull for takeoff. Raise the landing skids, lower the wings for flight mode and set off on another dangerous mission! 75155 - Rebel U-Wing Fighter Open the cockpit and place the U-Wing Pilot in his seat. Fire up the engines and launch into the sky. Keep a lookout below with the transparent window, and when you spot the enemy, fire the front spring-loaded shooters and stud shooters mounted in the side doors.
You can even fold the wings back for a bigger model $79.99 75119 - Sergeant Jyn Erso / 75120 - K-2SO / 75121 - Imperial Death Trooper $24.99 each. Last Thursday I headed to Disney's London HQ to play with most of the new Star Wars toys, before purchasing a good deal of them just after midnight to continue said research in the comfort of my own home. Below are the findings of said research. This list contains some pretty expensive Star Wars toys, but there has to be a place for the humble 3.75-inch action figure ($9.99/£9.99). I mean, this is where it all began and it still underpins the entire range. Like many action figures currently on the market, each Star Wars figure comes with a component of a weapon which can be assembled if you buy all three characters within a particular 'Mission Theme'. There are more detailed, more expensive Force Awakens figures out there, but Hasbro's entry-level option shouldn't be overlooked. Micro Machines are back, with new vehicles and play sets.
Vehicles are going to be sold in blind bags as well as themed vehicles packs, which cover The Force Awakens as well as the Original and Prequel trilogies. But the best items in the Micro Machines range are the themed playsets. Each character or ship opens up to reveal a self-contained playset inspired by the a location in the movie. There are four in total: Star Destroyer, Millennium Falcon, R2-D2 and a First Order Stormtrooper. Playsets range from £22.99/$19.99 to £44.99/$39.99. Nerf has released a range of Star Wars-themed weapons, and the pick of the bunch is definitely Chewie's Bowcaster. This isn't just a themed-nerf gun – well, obviously it is – what I'm trying to say is it uses a real crossbow action to fire the nerf darts distances up to 65 feet. Air Hogs has released two Star Wars themed flying toys – an X-Wing and the Millennium Falcon – both of which are based on the designs used in the original trilogy. The Falcon is definitely the pick of the two, It's a quadcopter, based on the same technology as Air Hogs' well-received Helix X4.
The X-Wing has ducted fans, and requires more space and probably a much more experienced RC pilot. Disney store is carrying three talking 14.5", fairly-detailed figures from The Force Awakens, including Kylo Ren, First Order Stormtrooper, and Finn. Each one has a range of phrases taken from The Force Awakens, and these figures are our first chance to hear these characters talk. I was lucky enough to interview Ren, and you can hear what he had to say in the video below (possible spoilers): Kylo Ren's lightsaber was arguably the most enduring and debated image of the first Force Awakens trailer, and now you can buy at several different price points. Below is the entry level model, but you can pay a little more if you want to buy into Hasbro's customizable 'BladeBuilders' experiment, which allows lightsabers to be broken down into components and recombined to create new and distinctive weapons. And if you have the money to spare, there's a Force FX version which comes in at £219.99/£199.99.
You can also see the cheaper replica of Ren's lightsaber in action and hear it snarl in the short video below: I realise the middle section of this list is a bit of a Kylo Ren love-in, but for £20.95/$24.95, this Kylo Ren mask is seriously good. The mask attaches over the head with a harness that can be adapted for most head sizes. (I've got a really big head and it fits me comfortably.) /8pqPUS1hyO — Krupa (@Krupa) September 7, 2015 But in addition to the mask, which is fairly detailed with various bumps and depressions, it comes with a hood that conceals a lot of the illusion-breaking straps and switches. The voice changer isn't that great, mainly just adding some fuzz onto your muffled speech, but the recorded Ren dialogue isn't bad and includes some cool snippets of dialogue. And when you're not wearing it, Kylo Ren's head doubles-up nicely as a decorative item/conversation starter. The are seven new LEGO sets specifically tied to The Force Awakens, ranging from Rey's Speeder to the Millennium Falcon.
They're all really good, featuring a great deal of interactivity and action-points for a LEGO set, but we're picking the Millennium Falcon. Take a closer look at the Falcon and all the other LEGO sets by swiping through the gallery below: It comes with 6 mini-figs and BB-8, and features a huge number of small details for Star Wars fans to appreciate. The design's really elegant too, with the Falcon opening up like a flower to reveal the interior, which is essentially a huge play set. There's hidden compartments, turret stations, and even a Holochess set. It's also the only place right now where you can get a figure of Han Solo in The Force Awakens. Revealed during the 18-hour live stream, the Elite series is a new range of highly-detailed, die-cast figures exclusive to the Disney Store. Currently, there are six available: Kylo Ren, Captain Phasma, Rey and BB-8, Finn, Stormtrooper, and Flametrooper. Prior to now, Hasbro's Black Series was the go-to range if you wanted a more detailed action figure without straying into the dangerous realm of high-end collectibles.
The Elite Series hasn't supplanted the Black Series, which also has its own versions of Rey, Finn, Ren, and more, but with its detail and reassuring build quality, it's a very enticing alternative. What's more, Disney will be releasing more figures in the range, including classic characters, in the run-up to The Force Awakens. Unsurprisingly, BB-8 by Sphero sits at the top of this list. But once you've met or seen the little fella in action, it's difficult to argue otherwise. Yes, it's essentially a remote-controlled toy, but yet that doesn't quite do it justice. This is the closest you can get to owning your very own droid. In fact, the best moments come when you're not in control, and BB-8 reacts spontaneously, turns his head towards you in surprise, or you tell him 'It's a trap!' and he dashes into the kitchen. That said, £129.99/$149.99 isn't cheap, and there is a more affordable alternative in the shape of Hasbro's remote-controlled BB-8 ($80), currently exclusive to Target in the US.
