Three of the new LEGO Return of the Sith sets have shown up at Sears.com, complete with pictures and descriptions:

Wookie Catamaran (Yoda, Chewbacca, Luminara Unduli, two Clonetroopers, Wookiee Warrior)

Ultimate Lightsaber Duel (Anakin Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi w/light-up lightsabers)

Clone Turbo Tank (Clone Troopers, Battle Droids, Sand Trooper/Clone, Mace Windu with light-up lightsaber)

These pictures along with set descriptions were found at Sears.com, although they cannot yet be ordered.

Marlon Wuytenburg has come up with a unique idea; little Star Wars golfcarts for all of our heros and villians. Make sure you stop by his gallery and take a look at his work. (Thanks again to Galen for helping me update the customs).

Woohoo, here we go again ~ KBtoys.com and eToys have all LEGO on sale for 20% off. This includes the AT-AT, Millennium Falcon, and Cloud City for $79.99 each, and the UCS Snowspeeder for $103.99. Free shipping, as of this morning, still applies on orders of $99 or more.
Update: Free shipping is available for the Millennium Falcon alone (no minimum). Free shipping w/$99+ purchase has ended as of 2 December.

Now that you’ve voted (those of you old enough to), today’s IPG update contains just a bit of news. First, HobbyTron coupons for November appear in our left sidebar. SmartBargains.com has been added to the IPG; I snuck it in there a couple weeks ago…and KBtoys.com/eToys are diddling with things again. Their 20% off all LEGO sale has ended, but they have sharply discounted some of the older smaller sets; prices end in .97 so they are probably clearanced. Examples include Jabba’s Message $4.97, Jabba’s Prize $2.97, Tusken Raider Encounter $4.97, Cloud Car $4.97, Jango Fett $9.97 (yes, that’s correct, there’s not a missing digit), Hailfire Droid $19.97, and a few others. Free shipping for $99+ orders still applies.

No doubt you’ve seen some pics of the Y-wing by now. Jake sent me some better pics. Low-bandwidth warning: the XL images are 1600×1067 and are about 330k in size. Enjoy!

Ace was able to dig up a few more details on those cute Kabaya mini LEGO sets: free with the purchase of Kabaya candy, each set is geared to ages 7+ and has a launch date of June 2004. Piece counts: X-Wing Starfighter 41, Boba Fett’s Slave I 25, TIE Interceptor 32. A sweet deal ~ if you live in Japan!

This week’s LEGO S@H Phone Specials features 7153 Jango Fett’s Slave I for $25. With nominal shipping and no tax, it edges out Amazon/TRU’s deal for the lowest price on this set. Sale ends next Wednesday. Call 1(800)453-4652 to place your order. International customers, your mileage may vary.
