Talk About Collectibles and You Talk About Lego Star Wars
Star Wars is of course one of the most famous Sci Fi series but the success of this trilogy is not only because of the epic movies. When the movies first got released at a three year interval, it soon became clear that Star Wars was a way of life for many fans.
Many items surrounding the movies were released like books, comics, television series, games, toys and all sorts of other merchandise, which made it possible for the Star Wars fan to be involved between releases. Soon people started organizing meetings to exchange merchandise and collector´s items and annual conventions were being held all over the world.
Star Wars had turned into something far bigger than a few movies and the fans were there to stay.
Even now, well over 30 years after the release of the first episode, people spend hundreds if not thousands of dollars on merchandise and toys, to be able to stage complete scenes from the movies.
The Lego Star War sets are a great example, they lend themselves perfectly for this goal and you can in fact rebuild the complete galaxy with all the battleships, entire battles and figurines. If you take a look at the Lego 8038 set, the Batttle of Endor, it comprises of everything you need to play the scene.
Another great example is the Lego 8098 set, which holds the Clone Turbo Tank comprising of well over a 1000 pieces to keep you busy.
