From Family Guy:
Some of the new 2002 Star Wars sets hit the Orlando LEGO Imagination Store at Downtown Disney on Monday. They had Jedi Duel (I & II), Jedi Defense I, Ewok Attack and Technic R2-D2. I asked the manager if they were expecting the Technic Vader or Cloud Car soon and she said maybe this Thursday. Then she showed me the complete 2002 LEGO Sales / Production book for Star Wars, including color copies of the previous black an white pictures floating around on the net.
Here are some of the details on the newly released and upcoming sets:
The Cloud Car was originally pictured with Lando (looked cool, ethic face color), not Lobot (cool accent of gray eyebrows on face).
The Young Obi-Wan that comes with the Jedi Defense I set has a pony tail deco now on the Jedi Torso.
The Ewok Attack set says Wicket and Paploo as the 2 Ewoks that come with the set and they are Mini-Mini-Figures. The legs are smallers, but everything else is from a regular mini-figure (torso, arms...). The legs are one molded peice and cannot move.
Some of this Episode II information may have been reported on the net already, but here are some details worth mentioning. The SRP on these sets were high, but the detail put into the vehicle and figure looks much better.
MMF = Mini-Mini-Figure
Upcoming Figures in the same set:
Yoda (MMF with molded head & brown lightsaber?) and Count Dooku (MF). Could it be that Yoda's lightsaber is hidden inside his cane?
Mace Windu (MF with cowl, ethic face color & lightsaber) and a Destroyer Droid (MF).
Obi-Wan Kenobi from Starfighter "Teaser?" set comes with a beard and straight Brown/Red Hair and a red R2 unit.
Jango Fett (MF - purple/blue and silver) and Boba Fett (MMF with ethic face color ) with Huge Slave 1 Anakin (MF) and (2) Tusken Raiders (MF).
