Hasbro's lineup for the rest of 2013.

Lets start off by giving Hasbro a little bit of a get out of Jail free card here.

Firstly everything that was planned for this year was thrown into dissary by Disney/Lucasfilms decision to abandon the releases of both Episode 2 and 3 in 3D this year.  One can only imagine what this would've done to product planning and line going forward.

Hasbro have prett much cancelled the Clone Wars wave for this year (being only a Eurpoean exclusive), with no more to come in the future.  These will be absorbed into the realistic look of future waves, no more animated look.

Class 1 vehicles didn't appear to have anymore this year after the first release which are already out.

So what did we get?

not much, this year is a year for a few exclusives.  In the Vintage packaging we have a Slave one with a new Han in Carbonite, Biggs X-Wing, Tie Interceptor and a Republic Gunship.

Hasbro announced a Black Series figure collection that will be highly detailed 6" figures featuring characters from the movies predominately, although the fans choice Mara Jade will be released in this line up also.

Lego Toyfair UK Star Wars Sets 2013.

This weekend past was the UK toyfair and present was Lego.

Lego had previews of all their upcoming sets for 2013 (2nd half of the year).

As this blog is concerned with Star Wars I will only talk about the Star Wars sets based upon the information that has already been published.

75015 Corporate Alliance Tank Droid  

This set comes with a new Jango, finally from descriptions it is based upon the 7748 set from 09 (shown below).

This set will also include a battle droid and a clone trooper.  Being an AOTC set hopefully we get the reddish battle droid and a phase one clone.

75016 Homing Spider Droid

Another set that is similar to one previously created being the 7681 spider droid from 2008 packaging line (shown below).

This set is supposed to come with a clone trooper, 2SBD's (Super Battle Droids) and Adi Galia, although this may be Stass Allie.  Depending on which way Lego goes with the last figure it could either be an AOTC or a CW set?

750017 Duel On Geonosis 

This set features Dooku and Yoda (both reported to have new sculpts) from the end sequence whereby the two fight against one another.  There is apparently some scenery from the hangar and a new pilot droid (possibly for the Solar Sailor) along with a Poggle the Lesser:

75018 Jeks-14 Stealth Starfighter 

This is from the new Yoda's Chronicles short, not too much info apart from it looks a little like a Z-95 is reported to be Red and Black and comes with Jek-14, Separatist Bounty Hunter, Special Forces Clone Trooper and a droid called R4-G0.

75019 AT-TE 

Another PT set straight out of AOTC, this AT-TE doesn't sound to be too much different from the 2008 7675 (shown below) 

This set is purported to contain, Mace Windu, Clone Trooper Gunner, a few Battle droids and Coleman Trebor (a jedi who dies at the Genosion arena in AOTC, shown below)

75020 Jabba’s Sailbarge

Quite possibly the most anticipated set for 2013, judging by the preliminary pictures that have been shown on the net (seen in a post below) it will be filled with a few new minifigures.

Contaiend within this set are: Jabba, Max Rebo, Leia in the slave costume, a new Weequay, and R2 with the drinks tray.  This set also includes Ree-Yees, so for OT fans a little bitt more love has been shown to Jabba and his minions.

The ship is reported to open out revealing Max Rebo's keyboard. 

75021 Republic Gunship

Another ship that apparently has little change from the 2008 model except its swapped from Clone Wars theme to PT theme.  This set is supposed to include a new Obi Wan, Anakin and Padme in her white outfit (according to fbtb ) it also shows the midriff after the nexu had a swipe.

75022 Mandalorian Speeder 

This set remains an unknown quantity to me as I am not too sure what the speeder will look like, hopefully New York , this set is described as having Maul with his Cyborg legs and 2 new Mandalorian Super Commando's.  Not too sure how this will work but I'm guessing its been comprised from the current Clone Wars  as seen on StarWars.com

75023 Star Wars Advent Calendar

This year will feature both a young Boba and a Santa Jango, not too shabby in my opinion.
