When the first Star Wars movie came to the big screen in 1977 and became an overnight phenomenon, it brought with it a parade of merchandise that became an instant hit. The response was sudden and unexpected which created a scramble to meet the demand for Star Wars toys. Ever since then, Star Wars toys, especially the Lego Star Wars figures, have been a hit and true fans have been seriously collecting them.
These figures are by far the most popular Lego figures that have come out. Most real fans collect these figures and keep track to make sure that they have all of them. Since many have come out, there are a lot to keep track of.
1999 was the year that the first Lego Star Wars series came out. More have come out every year. There are both figures and vehicles from both of the trilogies that have come out. They are very realistic for being Legos.
The Lego characters are still in the classic Lego shapes, just a few alterations have been added to make them look like Star Wars characters. Some, though, have special molds that the company uses to make their head shapes and sizes. The Darth Vader, for example, has a unique mold. The figures also have light sabers.
