New Desert Skiff 9496

Shouldn't Luke have a glove on one hand? In the box art he has 2 regular hands.

At the point in the movie this set is based on, his cybernetic hand was just fine. It wasn't until he made it to Jabba's Sailbarge (after the fight on the skiff) that his hand was shot, and it wasn't until he was out of Tatooine's atmosphere in his X-Wing that he put on the black glove to cover the burn hole in the fake skin.

I've also merged this discussion into the main "2012 LEGO Star Wars (Summer)" topic because it really doesn't need its own topic.

The best release of Star Wars sets in years, IMO. Lego all around is ROCKING this year!!

Personally, the news that excites me most is "LEGO Systems unveils the new LEGO Star Wars Rancor Pit construction set." What will this set be like? And less importantly, by how much will Toys R Us inflate the price? ;-)

Woo! TLC heard us. Rancor Pit is coming.

For anyone interested, Lego Shop at Home in North American has added both the UCS B-Wing 10227 and the Malevolence 9515 to the website. I find it interesting that the B-Wing is up on the site, with a release date of October 1st, but none of the other Summer sets coming out in the next few weeks and being sold now at Toys R Us and Amazon.com are listed.
