The lineup of Lego Star Wars sets for May 4 (e.g. Star Wars Day) has been revealed, and it includes kits I have waited years to get my hands on.
While the new TIE Interceptor is fabulous and gives me fond flashbacks to Rogue Squadron on the N64, it's the Phantom Menace kits that take the biscuit so far as I'm concerned. It's been a long time since we got podrace Lego Star Wars sets, and now a diorama version of that iconic scene is on its way. Unlike the last set we got in 2011 (and the one before that a decade earlier in 1999), this one features the rocky Mos Espa environment for them to fly through and actually floating cockpits. Until now, podracers always had clear or beige bricks connecting the pod to the twin engines.
