20000 and 30000 series Lego Star Wars

Continuing my attempt to deconstruct most of my smaller Lego Star Wars sets, I'm now onto "polybags".  I'm starting with the 200## and 30### sets which covers most of the polybags released since 2008.

Starting with the 20000s, all of which are rebuilds in my collection as these are pretty hard to come by:

  • 20006 Clone Turbo Tank (2008).  Apparently a random Brickmasters giveaway in the US
  • 20007 Republic Attack Cruiser (2009).  As above
  • 20009 AT-TE Walker (2009). Also Brickmasters exclusive but available from "shop at home" in the UK
  • 20010 Republic Gunship (2009) As for 20009
  • 20016 Imperial Shuttle (2010) Another Brickmasters exclusive
  • 20018 AT-AT Walker (2010). Another Brickmasters exclusive
  • 20019 Slave I (2011). Yet another Brickmasters exclusive
  • 20021 Bounty Hunter Assault Gunship (2011) Guess what...Brickmaster's exclusive

So, I realise now that all of these were basically Brickmasters exclusives!  Which now begs the question... what is/was Brickmasters?  Apparently, it was a US Lego magazine that went defunct in 2011!

On to the 30000s:

  • 30004 Battle Droid on STAP (2009) UK Daily Mirror giveaway
  • 30005 Imperial Speeder Bike (2009) Ditto (but also sold in UK supermarkets)
  • 30006 Clone Walker (2009) Ditto (but also sold in UK supermarkets)
  • 30050 Republic Attack Shuttle (2010) Sold in the US at Target (and also giveaway at TRU)
  • 30051 Mini X-wing (2011) UK newspaper giveaway and sold in the US at Target
  • 30052 AAT (2011) Sold in Target.  Remarkably expensive now due to the turntable
  • 30053 Republic Attack Cruiser (2011) As for 30051
  • 30054 AT-ST (2011). As for 3005
  • 30055 Vulture Droid (2011).  Target (US) and The Sun giveaway (UK)
  • 30056 Star Destroyer (2012).  Another UK newspaper giveaway and available in various other countries
  • 30057 Anakin's Pod Racer (2012)  TRU exclusive
  • 30058 STAP (2012) US Walmart exclusive + other places
  • 30059 MTT (2012) US Walmart exclusive + other places
  • 30240 Z-95 Headhunter (2013) Daily Mail giveaway (obtained from my mother)
  • 30241 Mandalorian Fighter (2013) TRU exclusive
  • 30242 Republic Frigate (2013) The first one that I've found which is a Lego.com freebie
  • 30243 Umbaran MHC (2013) US/CA limited edition
  • 30244 Anakin's Jedi Interceptor (2014) Daily Mail giveaway (again obtained from my mother)
  • 30246 Imperial Shuttle (2014)  Ditto
  • 30247 ARC-170 Starfighter (2014) Ditto
  • 30272 A-Wing Starfighter (2015) Available from various places
  • 30274 AT-DP (2015) Daily Mail + other places
  • 30275 TIE Advanced Prototype (2015) Denmark + Sweden exclusive
  • 30276 First Order Special Forces TIE Fighter (2015) Daily Mail giveaway.  I have about 5 versions of this one
  • 30277 First Order Star Destroyer (2016). Giveaway at a UK SW celebration and to buy in US (Best Buy)
  • 30278 Poe's X-wing Fighter (2016). Free with Lego.com purchases.  Wings fall off and one of my least favourite sets!
  • 30279 Kylo Ren's Command Shuttle (2016) Similar to 30277
  • 30380 Kylo Ren's Shuttle (2018) Not clear where this one was available!
  • 30381 Imperial TIE Fighter (2018) Ditto!  But I think this might have been a Lego.com freebie
  • 30496 U-Wing Fighter (2017) Walmart in the US + other options
  • 30497 First Order Heavy Assault Walker (2017) Lego.com freebie
  • 30498 Imperial AT-Hauler (2018) Pretty sure this was another Lego.com freebie
  • 30611 R2-D2 (2017) Lego.com freebie
  • 30383 Naboo Starfighter (2019) Lego.com freebie
  • 30384 Snowspeeder (2019) Lego.com freebie
  • 30461 Podracer (2019) Lego.com freebie
  • 30386 Poe Dameron's X-wing Fighter (2020) Lego.com freebie and also now available to purchase
  • 30388 Imperial Shuttle (2021) Lego.com freebie

There are a couple of other polybags that aren't in the above series:

  • 3219 Mini TIE fighter (2002).  A mini building set so probably should have been included in my post on those
  • 6966 Jedi Starfighter (2005) "Random set of the day"... whatever that means
  • 6967 ARC Fighter (2005) ???
  • 6968 Wookie Attack (2005).  Never released as far as I can tell!
  • 8028 TIE Fighter (2008) The Sun giveaway (+others)
  • 8029 Mini Snowspeeder (2008)  Pretty hard to get hold of - not sure where it was released
  • 8031 V-19 Torrent (2008) "Random set of the day"
  • 8033 General Grievous Starfighter (2008) Daily Mirror giveaway
  • 40288 BB-8 (2018) Lego.com freebie

Anyway, some photos... firstly the 20000 series, which are definitely a quality set of polybags:

Then the 30000s (albeit missing 30053, 30246 and 30247 somewhere in the Lego cave, as well as 30381 which I mistook for a magazine giveaway):



And finally the miscellaneous polybags:

Star Wars M&M Mosaic

Image
A few weeks back, I was trawling through Rebrickable, checking which Star Wars sets I hadn't build up and I came across two promo sets that I'd not found before.  The first was the "Han Solo on his Tauntaun" that I built up a week or so back and documented here .  The other was the altogether more crazy Star Wars M&M promo mosaic ( SWMP ) which rocks in 5462 pieces, according to Rebrickable.   It's debatable whether this really a released set, as only 400 were made that they were never available to the general public.  Apparently, it was a Walmart promotion event, held in different locations across the US and you could build these over 48 hours.   The set is massive - it covers 6 48x48 base plates so is around 76x115cm (2.5x3.75ft for those who work in imperial).  However, the whole thing distils to just 4 plate sizes (1x1, 1x2, 1x4 and 2x4), plus 169 2x2 black tiles.  And there are only 9 colours too.  Before you can start building, though, you've got to

Lego Colours

Image
Thanks to my mother and grandfather, I am colourblind. After discovering (c. 2001) that I knew all of the PhD students and postdocs in the colour vision team at Cambridge, I allowed them to experiment on me and was duly diagnosed as extreme deuteranomalous vision defective.  Putting aside the science, this means I have very limited ability to distinguish blue from purple, as well as struggling with red/brown and green/brown (oddly, I'm almost always fine with red/green).   Why am I writing about this in a Lego blog?  The answer should be obvious in that there are times when I really struggle to identify what colour my bricks are.  Particular challenges are: Dark red vs. reddish brown (this is my all-time worst and I struggle with them every time) Dark green vs. dark brown (especially cheese slopes) Transparent yellow vs transparent bright green (this is another random weakness which totally foxed Petroc when he tested me 20 years ago) Dark green vs. black (yes, really - I regularly

Han Solo on his Tauntaun

Image
I've not done very much building in recent days - I've instead been focussed on a couple of super-rare promo sets.  The first is the Star Wars / M&M Mosaic which I now have all the parts for but realised that there are no building instructions out there.  So I'm painstakingly creating my own in LeoCad - will post a link once I've finished them so others may follow in the footsteps of the Sith M&M.   However, I did mostly build one of them today - the super-rare Han Solo on his Tauntaun ( LLCA53 ) which I've rebuilt from spares and Bricklink.  I struggled to find any build instructions until I came across this post, which gives chapter and verse on the set... so I'm just going to post a photo.   I'm missing a piece (on order from Bricklink) and I replaced two of the reddish brown plates with clips with dark red equivalents.  The jumpers are also modern equivalents and I switched the turntables that top the legs with black rather than LBG bases which a
