Lego Summer 2012 – Page 2

The new Lego Star Wars Summer 2012 sets are starting to appear in retail stores in Australia.

Just in time for the upcoming Mid-Year sales these sets are showing up in Myer stores around the country.

I went into my local Myer CBD store today and found most of the sets being unpacked on a trolley. Noticeable absences were the Gungan Sub, Sith Fury Class Interceptor, Malevolence and Pre Vizula’s Mandalorian Fighter sets. I am hoping these were just out the back, waiting their turn to be shelved.

If you are in Australia check out your local Myer store tomorrow (31 May) as they are having a 20% off toy-sale.

Considering these Star Wars sets are brand new and not out in most corners of the globe we are very blessed to have them in our little neck of the woods!

Needless to say I will be there, picking up Jabba’s Palace 🙂

You can see a gallery of the images I took today below.

Hi Res Images of the new Lego City 2012 Summer sets have been popping up on various sites around the web, and they are looking amazing!

Continuing with the Forest/City-outskirts theme of early 2012, the Lego City sets due for release anytime after June this year, include a beautiful (and very large) Lego Mine set as well as Mining Excavators, Trucks and Transporters.
