At Nuremberg Toy Fair, LEGO pulled the curtain back on new Star Wars sets launching in March to celebrate 25 years of the iconic brands working together.
Honestly, it feels like we were just celebrating the 20th anniversary of LEGO producing official sets based on Star Wars, but this marks 25 years since those inaugural sets! Wild to see how things have grown since then, and LEGO has some new goodies for fans to pick up to mark the occasion.
Arriving on March 1st as part of their new, Starship Collection Line, LEGO are giving fans newly scaled takes on the Tantive IV, Millennium Falcon, and Invisible Hand. On top of that, we’re also getting a new R2-D2 build and a diorama featuring Vader boarding the Tantive IV. Some of these sets will also include all new minifigures that haven’t been available before (hence why R2 is paired with Darth Malak), and I can’t wait to get my hands on them.
Today, the LEGO Group is kicking off the anniversary festivities at the Spielwarenmesse, otherwise known as Nuremberg Toy Fair, in Germany, with new anniversary products now available for pre-order. Additionally, the LEGO Group announced the LEGO Star Wars 25-Second Film Festival, which will kick-off in March as part of the celebrations.
First revealed at the International Toy Fair in New York in 1999, the LEGO Star Wars collaboration marks its 25-year milestone at the Spielwarenmesse with a selection of 25th anniversary LEGO Star Wars building sets, launching March 1st. These include a new Starship Collection line featuring brand-new builds inspired by the Millennium Falcon™ and the Invisible Hand™ starships; not one but two building sets inspired by the Tantive IV™ ship; and a special 25th anniversary edition building set honoring R2-D2™. Some sets will include collectible minifigures never seen before in LEGO form or anniversary tiles, marking the special occasion.
“The LEGO Star Wars collaboration has enjoyed a most impressive 25 years with products, video games, animated content, big builds, merchandise, and more! We want to celebrate all those years and milestones with everyone who helped us get here, but especially with the fan community as we would never be where we are today without their creativity and passion,” says Mike Ilacqua, Head of Product at the LEGO Group.
