LEGO has been putting out new Star Wars themed sets every year since 1999. These are typically great quality LEGO sets that do a good job of driving interest in both Star Wars and LEGO. Before creating Star Wars themed LEGO sets, LEGO did not use licensed characters or vehicles in any of its themes, but since the Star Wars themes have been so popular, the LEGO Group has went ahead and created other already licensed products like Spider-man, Sponge Bob and Indiana Jones.

With the release of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars series many LEGO Collectors were expecting a new series of Star Wars LEGO sets. These fans were not disappointed as LEGO released quite a few new sets to compliment the Clone Wars saga. These new Star Wars LEGOs have been created with especially cartoon-ish features, especially the LEGO mini figures that are included.

The Clone Wars theme of LEGOs has lived up to the hype. Thus far it has proven to be as successful as the other Star Wars systems. Many fans may have believed that LEGO would not be able to put out enough Clone Wars themed LEGO sets because many of the ships and people in the Clone Wars film are the same as in previous movies but this has not been the case. LEGO has been able to create a system that has the look and feel of the Clone Wars films which keeps fans hungry for more.

A personal favorite Clone Wars LEGO set of mine is the MagnaGuard Starfighter LEGO Set. This set is not the most complicated or detailed Clone Wars LEGO set by far but the included MagnaGaurd droid mini figures are a very cool addition to my collection. Along with the mini figures the Starfighter is a very fun build itself. It is chalk full of weapons and the Starfighter also has a cool space in the wings for each of the MagnaGuard droids’ weapons! There is also a gun that flips up in the back of the Starfighter.

With all of the new releases the LEGO Group has created for the Clone Wars LEGO sets there should be quite a bit of interest generated for awhile for these LEGO Systems. Lucas Films always does a fantastic job promoting. Combine that with the LEGO Groups legion of fans and you have a series of LEGO sets with plenty of momentum behind it. Expect more than a few of the Clone Wars LEGO sets to be rare collectible LEGO sets in the near future. As such it is a good idea to get on board now and pick up as many of these LEGO sets as you can!
