Yesterday I attended a press preview of LEGO’s Droid Tales
season finale held at the Manhattan LEGO store and also got to see all the new Star
Wars LEGO sets plus some wonderful large LEGO builds by Master builders. Great fun.
Here’s my report.
I have not been watching the Star Wars Droid Tales but I
enjoyed the series finale which airs on Monday, November 2nd. Entitled “Gambit on Genosisseries” the
episode had humor that the adults can enjoy too. It wasn’t just for the kids. Comments like “You’ll never make me go to the
dark side” and “Now I have to go live
with my parents” and my favorite “May the Funk be with you” will make the
adults smile too. I always enjoy a
children’s show that isn’t torture for me to sit through and Droid Tales fits
that bill.
LEGO already has many Star Wars themed sets, but there are a
bunch of new ones associated with the new movie – Star Wars: The Force Awakens
coming out in December. Here are a
couple of the new sets:

| Kylo Ren's Command Shuttle |
If you are buying a Star Wars set for a holiday gift you
will want to know if it is based on the new movie. Here is the secret key. Look for this red and gold symbol at the top
of the package – this is The Force Awakens series.
I enjoyed the large LEGO characters built by Master LEGO Builders
too. This one in the front of the store
you will only find here in New York:

| Statue of Liberty Torch - See people walking outside to get a sense of the size |
The press area had a bunch of ones on display and I’m sorry
that I didn’t take more pictures but here are two of my favorites:
By the way – Bring your credit card when you go shopping for
this stuff….It isn’t cheap. You can order it on Amazon here....

2 of my little grandsons want nothing but Legos for every occasion. We do not have a Lego store around here. Loved your pictures.
