LSW Sets is an unofficial mobile application for all collectors of LEGO Star Wars sets. Made by a collector for collectors! Capabilities: Each entry contains all of the important information about the set including product image, piece count, number of minifigs, and year of release. Just like LSW Collector does for minifigs, LSW Sets allows you to 'check off' sets you already have and add the ones you don't to your wanted list. The green check mark allows you to easily see which sets you already have from the main view while the 'WANTED' symbol indicates which sets you are still chasing.
