Other than Purple Dave, who writes our LEGO reviews, I have yet to hear from anybody that has manged to find all eight new LEGO sets in one area. One good thing Dave has going for him is that he has Meijers stores in his area, and they often have LEGO sets before any other retailer.

The eight sets are:

Darth Vader
R2-D2

By every account, these are Technics sets, however, they don't actually say Techincs on them.

Final Duel I and II
Jedi Defense I and II
Ewok Attack
Twin-Pod Cloud Car

Almost all reports we've received say they see all but Jedi Defense II and Darth Vader. This is the same thing I see here in the Dallas area. When we do hear from somebody with Jedi Defense II and Vader, They are missing Jedi Defense I, and sometimes the Cloud Car.

It's not really easy to sort it out, but for sure, most of the country does not have Jedi Defense II or Vader yet.

You can see photos of all the Star Wars LEGO sets ever produced, including these eight, along with reviews of them on our LEGO page.
