LEGO® Toy Fair 2005 Star Wars V.I.P. Gala

Description

Reading the name

Toy Fair is a trade show where toy makers present their upcoming ranges to retailers and press. The words V.I.P. Gala in the title point to an invitation-only evening event rather than a shop release. The suffix on the set number shows that at least one other variant exists under the same base number in the catalogue. Beyond that, the name itself is the most informative thing we have, so this page sticks to what can actually be stated.

What the catalogue records

The entry lists the Star Wars theme, the year 2005 and a total of 28 pieces. It does not list any individual elements, colours or minifigures. That is unusual, as most Star Wars sets are documented down to the last tile. Without an inventory, we cannot tell you what the model depicts or how it goes together, and we would rather leave those questions open than guess. If better data arrives, it will appear here automatically.

A year of endings

2005 was the year Revenge of the Sith reached cinemas and brought the prequel trilogy to a close, so Star Wars was very much in the spotlight. Many collectors look for items from that period. The catalogue does not connect this particular set to the film, however, and there is no parts list to confirm any link. For anyone hunting rare promotional pieces, it is simply one more entry from a busy year for the theme.

Practical advice for collectors

Because the inventory is missing, a completeness check against this page is not possible. If you are offered a copy, compare it with photos and ask other collectors before you commit. You can still add the set to your Bricoria collection so that it appears in your overview. It will not feature in What can I build? until its elements are known, since that tool works from individual parts rather than set numbers.
