LEGO Star Wars 2014 Set Names

Similar to the report that we brought you two days ago about the LEGO Legends of Chima 2014 sets, today we bring you the set names list for the LEGO Star Wars 2014 sets. We already know about the 75043 AT-AP Walker set that is to be released in 2014, as it was displayed at the recent 2013 San Diego Comic Con, but not much was known most of the other 2014 Star Wars sets until now.LEGO Star Wars 20142014’s LEGO Star Wars sets will have dark-coloured boxes and packaging with Darth Vader as the character in the top-right corner of the set boxes. LEGO also seems to be introducing a new sub-theme to the Star Wars line by the name of “Microfighters”, in which the set includes portable small micro models that minifigures can sit on. While the Microfighters do not replace the veteran Battle Packs sub-theme, they are very similar in size and possibly price. All the sets listed below are scheduled to be released in February 2014.

SDCC 2013: LEGO Exclusive Sets & First Day Happenings

SDCC 2013 First Day 3The first day of the 2013 San Diego Comic Con at the San Diego Convention Center is nearly over. LEGO has been unveiling and revealing different upcoming sets (such as a new Star Wars AT-AP walker and the two new Minecraft sets) all day in San Diego. This article aims to recap on most, if not all, of the happenings at the LEGO booth today. Masashi Togami, the creator of the BTTF DeLorean project, was seen hanging around the LEGO area with LEGO CUUSOO Comunity Manager, Tim Courtney. The BTTF DeLorean set was being sold at the LEGO booth today as well.

  • LEGO Exclusive Sets & Raffle

LEGO has already revealed the exclusive sets that they are selling at the convention (they’re the LEGO The Hobbit Micro Scale Bag End and the LEGO Star Wars JEK-14 Mini Stealth Starfighter). We don’t know what they’ll cost but, from last years ones, they’ll probably be around US$40.

SDCC 2013 First Day 1The mini-scale Bag End comes with a Bilbo Baggins minifigure and contains 130 pieces. The LEGO Star Wars JEK-14 Mini Stealth Starfighter only has 105 pieces and a JEK-14 minifigure. It appears that these box-packaged sets are mini versions of the full-size sets that have come out recently. LEGO has gone for box packaging (similar to the Minecraft sets) for these cute, little sets this year – instead of the usual tins that have been used in past years.

SDCC 2013 First Day 2We also know now how people get get hold of the LEGO Super Heroes exclusive minifigures at the event. Spider Woman was available yesterday (quantity of 350), Amazing Spider-Man figure is (or was) available today (quantity of 350), Black Suit Superman on Saturday (quantity of 200) and finally Green Arrow will be given out on Sunday with a quantity of 200.

SDCC 2013 First Day 9Everyday at 11:30AM, you can scan your badge and grab a ticket. You can scan your badge once everyday to get an exclusive minfigure. At 3:30PM, check LEGOraffle.com to find out whether you’re a winner based on your ticket number. If you are, head over to the LEGO booth and pick up your new rare minifigure.

  • LEGO Star Wars AT-AP Walker Set

LEGO unveiled this LEGO Star Wars AT-AP Walker set that is set to come out in March 2014 and contains 717 pieces. Last year LEGO revealed the Rancor Pit Star Wars set and this time the AT-AP Walker gets a makeover from its last LEGO set in 2008.

SDCC 2013 First Day 4The set itself appears include a Battle Droid Commander minifigure, as well as a regular Battle Droid, a Super Battle Droid, Commander Gree and a Wookie Warrior minifigure which could be Tarfful. This set is also different from its old 2008 counterpart in that the walker has a third leg. It will retail for US$69.99 when it comes out in March of next year.

  • LEGO Minecraft Sets

Executives from Mojang, makers of Minecraft, unveiled the two new LEGO Minecraft sets at 7pm. Both of the sets have the same box size and style as the first LEGO Minecraft set did and they should be due out in September 2014. See more information about these two new LEGO Minecraft sets in this article here.

In one corner, attendees at the comic convention were able to play a demo version of the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes video game, which is to be released very soon. LEGO gave out a Loki keychain and a special exclusive LEGO Marvel game poster just for trying out the game at the LEGO booth.

SDCC 2013 First Day 7LEGO Master Builder Academy Level 4 Set

We’ve haven’t posted on this before, but it has been in the works. LEGO is planning on launching a Level 4 set for the popular LEGO Master Builder Academy series and theme. The fourth “level” will include steampunk-themed models and vehicles that owners of the set get to build. The first 100 Level 4 sets sold at the San Diego Comic Con this year will also receive a free signed and numbered 16″ x 20″ poster of LEGO steampunk that has been featured in multiple advertisements.

SDCC 2013 First Day 8And that’s pretty much it for the first official day of the 2013 San Diego Comic Con. The convention has its last day on the 21st (Sunday), closing at 5pm – so if you in and around San Diego then I suggest you get yourself down to the San Diego Convention Center as soon as you can. The LEGO booth’s number is #2829.
