Three Rogue One: A Star Wars Story sets were revealed yesterday and LEGO has now announced the other five via its Facebook page. The sets will be available on the 30th of September but there is a possibility that they will be available to pre-order before then and we will let you know if that proves to be the case.

I think this is one of the strongest waves of Star Wars sets in recent years and would be interested to hear your thoughts in the comments.

You will find large images of all eight sets as well as set descriptions after the break...

75152 Imperial Assault Hovertank:

385 pieces

£29.99, $29.99, €39.99

Chirrut Îmwe, Imperial Hovertank Pilot (x2)

Help Chirrut battle the Imperial Assault Hovertank as it patrols the streets. This tough urban patrol vehicle has a two-minifigure cockpit and a rotating and elevating turret gun with spring-loaded shooters to target enemies of the Empire. And if the rebel forces hide out of sight, open the storage container, grab the blasters and play out your own mini urban battles!

75153 AT-ST Walker:

449 pieces

£39.99, $39.99, €49.99

AT-ST Driver, Rebel Trooper, Baze Malbus

Go on the hunt for Baze and the Rebel Trooper aboard the All Terrain Scout Transport. Open the top hatch, load up the AT-ST Driver and move the legs to speed into action. When you’ve tracked them down, turn the wheel to rotate the top and prepare to fire the spring-loaded shooters! Can Baze and the trooper escape the advancing AT-ST? That’s for you to decide…

75154 TIE Striker:

543 pieces

£59.99, $69.99, €69.99

Imperial Shoretrooper, Imperial Ground Crew, TIE Pilot, Rebel Trooper

Prepare for launch with the amazing TIE Striker, the Empire’s atmospheric patrol fighter! Open the minifigure cockpit from the top or front and put in the TIE Pilot. Help the Imperial ground crew member put supplies in the rear hold and arm the spring-loaded shooters. Then adjust the huge wings and launch into the skies in search of rebels!

75155 Rebel U-wing Fighter:

659 pieces

£69.99, $79.99, €79.99

Bistan, Rebel Trooper, U-wing Pilot, Cassian Andor, Jyn Erso

Open the cockpit and place the U-Wing Pilot in his seat. Fire up the engines and launch into the sky. Keep a lookout below with the transparent window, and when you spot the enemy, fire the front spring-loaded shooters and stud shooters mounted in the side doors. You can even fold the wings back for a bigger model!

75156 Krennic's Imperial Shuttle:

863 pieces

£79.99, $89.99, €99.99

K-2SO, Bodhi Rook, Pao, Director Krennic, Imperial Death Trooper (x2)

When a tough transport ship is needed, Krennic’s Imperial Shuttle is the perfect choice. Put him into the pilot seat, open out the thick-armor plating and seat the Death Troopers. Lower the ramp and check the blasters are secured, then arm the spring-loaded shooters and seal the hull for takeoff. Raise the landing skids, lower the wings for flight mode and set off on another dangerous mission!

75119 Sergeant Jyn Erso:

104 pieces

£19.99, $24.99, €24.99

This tough Rebel soldier has everything she needs to take on the Empire. Build the figure, load the blaster rifle, put her in a battle pose and fire the spring-loaded shooter! Then grab the truncheons and turn the wheel to activate the arm-swinging battle function. Jyn Erso is ready to bring the battle to the Empire!

75120 K-2SO:

169 pieces

£19.99, $24.99, €24.99

Once an Imperial security droid, K-2SO is now ready to fight for the Rebel Alliance. Build the droid, then push the button to the side to swing each arm or push it straight to swing both at the same time! The powerful K-2SO has the strength and skill to take on the Empire!

75121 Imperial Death Trooper:

106 pieces

£19.99, $24.99, €24.99

Elite soldiers of the Imperial Intelligence, Death Troopers are the Empire’s most imposing enforcers and bodyguards! Build the trooper, grab the blaster pistol from the holster or fire the blaster rifle with spring-loaded shooter. Then put him in a battle pose and get ready to defend the Empire!

Do you have a favourite set of those revealed today? I am finding it difficult to choose just one but am particularly impressed by 75153 AT-ST Walker, 75154 TIE Striker, 75156 Krennic's Imperial Shuttle and 75120 K-2SO.
