Images have hit the web revealing that a new (smaller?) Jabba’s Sail Barge (75020) is scheduled for release next year in June. The set looks to include mini figures of Jabba, Slave Leia, Ree-Yees, R2-D2 (with bar accessories), Barada and Max Rebo.
Also revealed is a revamped Republic Gunship (75021), also available in June, and will include mini figures of Padme, Clone Trooper, Clone Trooper Pilot, Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan and 2 Super Battle Droids
Looks like more of the new 2013 LEGO sets are hitting retail. @Jesse_James77 from JediDefender tweets finding the A-wing, AT-RT and The Old Republic Republic vs Sith Troopers sets at his local Kmart.
Upon doing some last minute Christmas shopping at ToysRUs today, I came across the new LEGO Rancor Set sporting the new Yoda packaging. It retails for $64.99.
Looks like several items are starting to hit clearance at Target. Reader Scott from Tulsa tweets finding the Darth Maul Returns Battle Pack marked down to $13.98 and various LEGO sets red tagged as well. Time to stock up for gifts and be sure to pick up a few extras for Toys for Tots!
As I was preparing to check out of my local Target this morning I noticed that the the LEGO Republic Attack Cruiser polybag has finally been replaced with the TIE Fighter (8028) Set. This is a simple repack from 2008 features 44 pieces.
UPDATE: Thanks to a tip from Adam Pawlus on Twitter, it looks like this and the MTT and Star Destroyer polybags are also available at Walmart.
WALMART stores are getting LEGO PDQs with polybagged sets. Includes MTT, TIE Fighter, and Star Destroyer for $3.96 per.
In addition to the 8 sets we posted on earlier, there are six LEGO Star Wars vehicle/planetary sets on the slate for 2013. There are no images as of yet but look for them soon.
