LEGO Star Wars Clone Wars and Marvel Star-Lord Helmets Are Up For Pre-Order

Last week the LEGO Group  added three new sets to their Star Wars helmet collection with Clone Wars heroes Captain Rex and Clone Commander Cody leading off the new releases along with a Princess Leia Boushh helmet from Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. Now they've turned their attention to Marvel with the Guardians of the Galaxy Star-Lord helmet. 

The LEGO Star-Lord helmet (76251) looks pretty fantastic, and it's notable that there's an open top. That means it might actually be functional on your desk as a container for pens and other bric(k)-a-brac. The build includes 602 pieces, and you can pre-order it here at the LEGO shop for $79.99 with a release date set for April 1st. Details about each Star Wars helmet release can be found below along with pre-order links. Note that all three of the new LEGO Star Wars helmets are expected to ship on March 1st.
