I have been avoiding publishing any information on the Lego Star Wars 2012 sets for fear of attracting wrath from the Lego powers that be (don’t want to bite the bricks that feed me so to speak).

However there have been images appearing all over the net in the last 24 hours of the hitherto rumored Star Wars 2012 Lego sets to be released as part of the first wave of  January.

Unlike most other images that look like phone camera images taken hurriedly in a dark room while pretending to send an SMS, these images are clear, bear no stamp of “Confidential” and highlight the greatness that will be the first wave of 2012. They seem to come from a Chinese toy fair

While we have no large sets (these tend to be saved for later in the year) the range of sets is impressive. If previous years are anything to come by we can expect to see these start to appear sporadically in the coming months with the main release occurring in the US around mid January.

These images are courtesy of the Eurobricks forum (members eos512 & cagersky) which is a powerhouse of Lego news and resources.
