Nerdist.com has posted the first official look at five new sets being released to commemorated LEGO’s 20 year partnership with Star Wars. Each set includes a special minifigure recreated in the original style it was produced and carries a special 20th Anniversary logo on the back and baseplate.
We are ONE MONTH from the release of the HasLab Sail Barge and we felt this was the perfect time to reveal our partnership with DorksideToys in announcing The Ultimate Giveaway: The HasLab Jabba’s Sail Barge*.
That’s right! One lucky fan will have the opportunity to win their very own Sail Barge. But wait there’s more! If you are attending Star Wars Celebration Chicago, you will get the chance at a second Barge to be given away via DorksideToys at their SWCC booth.
Full details will be announced as we get closer to the barge’s release date next month and Celebration Chicago in April.
*Giveaway is not sponsored, endorsed or promoted by Disney, Lucasfilm, Star Wars Celebration, ReedPop and/or Hasbro.
