Update: According to Dark Horizons, the rumor is false.

It looks like LEGO’s Exclusive for Celebration Anaheim has unofficially leaked on eBay. Thanks to a tip from Groovebricks & “Just2Good”, we get a blurry look at a Mini Lars Homestead scene that includes a Microfighter-like Sandcrawler, a mini version of the Lars Homestead, mini Landspeeder, 5 micro figures (R2, C-3PO, Luke, Jawas x2) and a standard minifigure of C-3PO.
