15 YEARS OF LEGO STAR WARS

Via Star Wars.com (and our Force United friend James Burns):

This is the final part of our look back at LEGO Star Wars since its introduction in 1999 (if you missed them, be sure to check out parts one, two, and three). The first part dealt with the introduction of the franchise through to 2005, part two looked 2006 through to the 10th anniversary of LEGO Star Wars in 2009 and part three looked at 2010 through to 2012. This fourth and final part will look at 2013 to present day including the 15th anniversary of the franchise in 2014.

Before we delve into the 2013 releases, to-date we’ve had some 300 sets released (excluding the 3-in-1 sets that combine existing sets together and these are not included in any counts here) taking the minifigure count to almost 450 unique figures.

2013 was busier than 2012 with six more sets being released taking the count to 41. The planets that were first released in 2012 continued in 2013 with two new series of three sets (#75006 – 75011), but these were to be the last and Series 4, the final series, featuring Snowspeeder & Hoth, B-Wing Starfighter & Endor, and Tantive IV & Alderaan were hard to find in some territories.
