Two decades ago, LEGO and Lucasfilm decided to embark on one of the best collaborations in the toy industry to date.

Twenty years on, LEGO Star Wars celebrates that landmark day with five new sets that feature iconic Star Wars vehicles from the movies.

What is actually really interesting is the inclusion of the classic LEGO Star Wars minifigures in each set. As some of you can remember, the first wave of LEGO Star Wars minifigures has yellow heads and not the flesh coloured ones that we are used to today.

I can foresee a lot of minifigure collectors lining up to buy these sets…

The real attraction for me are the minifigures, especially the 20th Anniversary ones with the yellow heads and it does look like that the classic LandoCalrissian minifigure is making a comeback!
