LEGO 9516 STAR WARS Jabba’s Palace

At Jabba’s Palace on Tatooine, Princess Leia is disguised as Boushh as she tries to rescue Chewbacca and carbonite-frozen Han Solo. Can she get past the roof-mounted missiles, defense-guns and surveillance equipment to reach them? Or will Jabba and his motley band of followers capture the princess and entrap her beneath Jabba’s sliding throne? Includes 9 minifigures: Jabba, Salacious Crumb, Bib Fortuna, Gamorrean Guard, Oola, Han Solo, Princess Leia in Bo ushh outfit, Chewbacca and B’omarr Monk.



Superb Minifigures. I'm sure the new Gamorrean Guard will be the most popular Star Wars figures, great details!

Harry Potter 10217 Diagon Alley Preview

I'm not a Harry Potter fan, anyway for all HP lego fans, guess this is a must buy. When I saw the pictures last night, it reminded me of the 10193 Medieval Market village set released in 2009. I knew a couple of local AFOLs will be buying this set and combine it with their MMV set, expanding the village.

This will be avaliable in Jan 2011. I guess the price for this set will be around SGD300.
