Notes on the Sets
The Mandalorian Speeder includes a Darth Maul minifigure with the mechanical legs as seen in Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series.
Duel on Geonosis includes Count Dooku with the first ever Force Lightning accessory and Yoda has a rod that can be used to flip him around during their duel.
Lego’s card for the Republic Gunship showed the price at $119.99 but our reporter said that the set will retail for $149.99. With the piece count at 1175 pieces, the $150 price tag sounds more correct but we’ll have to clarify the price point on this set.
