OK - I already covered the subject of the Top 5 Lego Sets 2010 - now it's time to zero in on the most popular "subsets" - the Top 5 LEGO Star Wars Sets for this year.

As I rather thought would be the case, the "hottest" from last year (2009) is still around, but is lower on the list of the top 10 LEGO Star Wars sets than it was.

Here they are - the "best of the best" for the Star Wars LEGO fans out there - the top 5 sellers:
