LEGO has been celebrating the anniversary of its Star Wars line all year with new remakes of its first sets, but at Comic-Con this summer they will showcase two new sets from the film that started it all: A New Hope, or, if you're my age, plain old Star Wars.
Twenty years ago, in a move that likely secured the toy company's relevance for years more, LEGO began taking on third-party movie licenses. Nowadays, it's commonplace to see popular sets based on the likes ofVoltron. But two decades back, it was taking a big risk by no longer being a self-contained toy universe. Mitigating the risk somewhat was the fact that they started with, which is probably the safest licensing bet on the planet.
Both sets will be available January 1st, 2020, for $29.99, and are designed to be easy for younger collectors to assemble, but with all the details older fans enjoy. And unlike the hard-to-get Comic-Con exclusives, you'll be able to find them everywhere LEGO is sold.
