LEGO Planet Set is a subtheme of Star Wars and is also known as Buildable Galaxy or Star Wars Planets that began in 2012. There are twelve sets consisting of twelve planets, minifigures and ships designed to create a Star Wars themed overhead space mobile. Each Planet Set comes with one minifigure and accessory, a small micro model space ship, and a celestial body (planet, space stations, asteroid fields or moon). LEGO Planet Sets were replaced with Microfighters in 2014 which were similar Star Wars mini models.
2012 LEGO Sets
2012 was a landmark year highlighted by LEGO’s 80th anniversary and major licensed expansions. LEGO The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit joined the lineup alongside Marvel and DC Super Heroes, establishing enduring partnerships with both comic universes. LEGO Friends debuted, introducing mini-doll figures and Heartlake City, becoming one of LEGO’s most successful modern themes. Other launches included Monster Fighters, Disney Princess, and Dino. Alien Conquest, Atlantis, Pharaoh’s Quest, Kingdoms, and Harry Potter retired, though Harry Potter would later return in 2018.
