The first wave of 2016 Star Wars sets leaked over the weekend:

- (TFA SPOILERS) Unnamed TFA Starfighter (TFA SPOILERS)

Rumors about a new Rebel/Resistance fighter have circulated for a while.  I think this might be the U-Wing fighter.

It definitely looks like some sort of evolution of the B-Wing. Also notice it comes with the new Ackbar and new Leia.

The LEGO set I'm getting interested in thus far is Obi-Wan Kenobi's Jedi Starfighter from Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith.

New versions of Anakin's Podracer, AT-TE, Clone Turbo Tank, and Vader's TIE Advanced are apparently coming out in the summer wave.

I'm hoping that the Captain Rex's AT-TE is modeled after the one from SW Rebels.  It would be cool to get an older version of Rex and the other two Clones (can't remember who they were) along with the crazy AT-TE they were on!

I saw the Resistance Troop Transport today.  It's a really cool looking set, and it's one of my favorite ships from TFA so far.  I may have to take the plunge on that set.

I've tried to resist LEGO for a long time, but my wife and daughter got me a set from REBELS.  It's a little Imperial Troop Transport set.  Now, I've heard for a while that a good number of people find the methodical routine of putting together a LEGO set pretty therapeutic.  It seems to help a lot of people focus on something and decompress from the concerns of their jobs or whatever else.  Well, putting together the Imperial Troop Transport has definitely yielded similar results for me.  So a set as sizable as the Resistance Troop Transport would probably be a great exercise in stress management.

Word is they will be out by the end of February. LEGO held back on non-TFA sets to cash in on the movie's popularity.

I saw these for the first time last night at a Hobby Shop.  Tempted to get them, but holding out for a sale I think (They were $15 each).

From this moment for all my life. What could I say? Was born to be this way. And what could I say?  Just livin' for today
