In a typical year LEGO will release the bulk of its sets on general release – meaning that any retailer who stocks toys has the opportunity to sell LEGO sets. However each year LEGO negotiates a number of sets that will be sold as exclusives, either through specific retailers such as Target, Walmart and Toys “R” Us or direct to its customers (known as D2C) via LEGO brand stores, and the shop@home website and typically LEGO catalogues do not show these sets:
- 75203 Hoth Medical Chamber (expected Walmart exclusive)
- 75221 Imperial Landing Craft (believed Toys “R” Us exclusive)
We also know that there are still three outstanding Solo: A Star Wars Story sets excluded from the catalogue. Their omission wasn’t accidental as the lead time to design, print and distribute these catalogues quite often leads to leaks – as you may recall happened when a LEGO certified store in Italy put up a poster for the new UCS Millennium Falcon.
- 75215 Cloud Rider Swoop Bikes
- 75217 code name Chimera (believed to be Imperial Conveyex)
- 75219 code name Gorgon (expected to be Imperial AT-Hauler)
You can download the entire catalogue for yourself, and don’t forget to keep tuned to Rebelstud.com – our dedicated LEGO Star Wars news stream – for more reveals later today!
