Field Report from Toy Fair: LEGO Clone Wars

Pete Vilmur | February 20, 2008


A pair of Bodyguard Magna-Droids from The Clone Wars collection.

In addition to posting images of some of the new products coming from LEGO’s Toy Fair reveal last Friday, we’ve got StarWarsShop’s Matt Martin on the floor to send back images from the LEGO booth itself.

The new line based on The Clone Wars is looking better than ever, and these pictures bring a nice sense of scale and detail to the kits that’s not always apparent in the press kit imagery. Make sure to check out all the images after the jump!


The new Rogue Shadow kit from The Force Unleashed was one of the few non-Clone Wars items on display in the Star Wars section of the booth.


A Togruta Jedi, Anakin, and a clone.


This battledroid just hangs on to what appears to be an upgraded STAP vehicle.


Obi-Wan, a pair of clones, and Asajj Ventress.


A shot of the new LEGO V-19 Torrent fighter in the grounded up-wing position.


The Republic gunship no doubt will serve up some formidable brick-kicking.


This detail on the gunship shows the clever nose art we can’t wait to see on more ships from Clone Wars. This one shows a Kowakian monkey-lizard dropping a bomb.


We hope intrepid StarWarsShop reporter Matt Martin will be bringing this new friend home.

    The artwork on the gunship is beyond hilarious.

    Must…not…give…in…to…temptation!

  3. How do they make those huge statues of lego figures?

  4. avatar olaf leiros says:

    I would like it if they got a lego with maybe 3 ore 4 clones in a litle base with a flying scooter and Ki Adi Munde.

  5. avatar Master Ryu says:

    Sweet! I can’t wait!

  6. avatar Chris Dennis says:

    WTF is with that life size LEGO clone trooper

  7. avatar Chris Dennis says:

    SWEET GUNSHIP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  8. avatar Chris Dennis says:

    Never seen a V-19 Torrent Fighter in StarWars episode 2

  9. avatar Julian TK-3681 says:

    The salicious Crumb droping the bomb on the gun ship is well wicked :)

  10. avatar Thatguy says:

    That gunship looks amazing.

  11. avatar justin says:

    AWESOME MINIFIGURES!!

  12. avatar justin says:

    MAN I wish they’d come out earlier!! The suspense is to much! I NEED TO BUY THEM ALL!!

  13. avatar alex cardiff says:

    correct me if I am wrong but in the third pic is’nt it asoka, captin rex,and anakin?

  14. avatar Jangotat13 says:

    I believe cardiff is correct. Does anyone know who the jedi on the speeder is? and is anyone a big enough fanboy to know if the (huttese?) on the art with the monkey lizard says anything?

  15. avatar clonious says:

    That v-19 torrent starfighter looks WAY better than the one I tried to make. (*Lagh’s cruly*)

  16. avatar ak222 says:

    To inform you Jangotat13, I am sure it is Plo Koon on the speeder bike.

  17. avatar ak222 says:

    If anyone reading is interested, go to BRICKSET LEGO REFERENCE to find out about lego sets that are to-be released and ones that are already released.

  18. avatar ak222 says:

    Well clonious, give your self something for trying.

  19. avatar Bane says:

    the jedi on the speeder is Plo Koon. You can see the face mask.
    but i dont know why he’d be wielding a saber, while operating a speeder bike..

  20. avatar matthew says:

    (dennis chris)-you never saw the v-19 torrent in episode II because it wasnt in it,its from the clone wars animated mini series and the new animated series. (alex cardiff), your right thats definately asoka , capt rex and anakin. and its plo koon on the speeder, filonis’ favorate charactor. I bet we see a lot of him in the new movie/ series.

  21. avatar bob says:

    olaf its ki-adi mundi

  22. avatar bob says:

    they really need to make the movie come out earlier than august i cant possibly stand waiting that long

  23. avatar bob says:

    also the jedis new clothes get an a+

  24. avatar alex cardiff says:

    the stap is already cool don’t mess it up by modifying it.

  25. avatar rogelio says:

    it´s amazing the new lego´s toys

  26. avatar rogelio says:

    th lego v-19 and rogue shadow are really cool

  27. avatar warren245 says:

    Everything ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  28. avatar clone hgm says:

    it would be realy cool if they did a set of clones to buy for the gunship eg….10 white clones….2 pilots….2 red/snipers….2 green/jettroopers….and 1 commander rex oh and will all e mine soon..

  29. avatar Lord Tirus says:

    Awesome! I go buy a few of these things! I can’t wait until 15 August!

  30. avatar clone hgm says:

    do they come out everywere on the 15 of august

  31. avatar dork vader75 says:

    I need them right now, you hear me! also, is’nt that cody in pic numero quatro?

  32. avatar Dante says:

    Wonder if they’ll release a “battle pack”?

  33. avatar dorcula says:

    they look so cool i cant wait. Im saving my money for the gunship. Its sweet. By the way i can kinda read huttese but not to much

  34. my son has had the rogue shadow ship for a little while now and loves it – a pain to build though.
    pics of it here Star Wars Lego Collectables

  35. avatar Juul says:

    I saw the newest trailer from the Clone Wars 10 minutes ago, and I can’t wait until it’s 15 August!
    If I watch to the toys, I want buy everything!
    I hope that we can watch the Clone Wars soon!

  36. avatar Dark Lord says:

    Couple things:

    Its not Huttese its Aurebesh the written language in the Star Wars universe.

    Bane: Watch the original Clone Wars series. It shows Obi-Wan on a speeder bike using his lightsaber to chop up the enemy speeders, and deflect blaster bolts.

  37. avatar Luke says:

    I wish they would make a set that is made up of the jedi council so all the jedi masters would be out. That would be awsome and if they made some more clone packs with all the different types… (i.e blue, yello, red and white.)

  38. avatar Koopy says:

    Hasnt anyone noticed that the gunship is missing its side gunners? I feel like im going crazy here, ever where i go theres no mention of them missing, but from every picture ive seen, there isnt one hint to the gunship having its side guns anymore.

  39. avatar Trevor says:

    Thats because they only had guns in the old movie. the Republic gunship is now used for transportation.
