Future Star Wars Sets

[Brickdoctor]

I want to say the Dark Empire comic books, same as the TIE/d...

And I'm right. Now we just need some V-wing airspeeders and World Devastators and we've got the Battle of Mon Calamari...

I would love a V-wing...

There's a guy on Flickr that had a great one, forgot his name, though.

I know. His name is Bruce Lowell, but he's better known as Brucey-wan. His X-wing MOC is considered to be one of the best.

Couldn't it be argued that World Devastators were just as much a symbol of intimidation in Dark Empire as AT-ATs were in Empire? (They even look similar!)

Ah, yes.

And yes, but AT-AT's are still better. Keeping it on-topic, I'll say again that I want a UCS AT-AT.

[Fallenangel]

So I see you like both V-wings...

I would also like a UCS AT-AT, as long as LEGO doesn't mess something up like they did on the 10179 Falcon and the 10134 Y-wing. And of course AT-ATs are better!

With the World Devastators maybe LEGO could incorporate magnets into them to represent their tractor beams so you can buy a bunch and tear apart metal things...

If TLG's gonna make an EU set, it should be either a Yuuzong Vong ship- which represents a large chunck of EU- or the Chimmerra, Thran's flagship in the Thrawn trilogy.

The Chimaera would basically be a stock ISD, I'd much rather have Thrawn, who is one of my favorites, in another set. Maybe in a Wayland setting, with C'Baoth. And if they did a Thrawn series of sets, the $100 set could be a Dreadnaught. Unfortunately, I really don't see that happening for a 30-year old novel series, even if it's one of the best selling ever. One set, maybe, like the TIE Crawler, Defender, and droid, but not a wave.

I don't think the organic shapes of the Vong and their ships would translate well into LEGO. Remember how ugly the bongo turned out? Besides, if they do do something organic, it'd make more sense to attempt an MC80 first.

The best selling EU ship would be the Outrider. Would include Dash Rendar and Leebo.

The Outrider is such a popular EU ship that it's in the special edition of A New Hope.

Haven't all the EU sets released gone on sale, except for the 2008 BPs?

There are some battle-packs I have been brain-storming. Lego star wars has 9.5 years left, which means nine more BPs! They've been alternating between OT and Clone wars/PT BPs. So we can assume we'll get 5 more OT and 4 more Clone wars/ PT. Heres my ideal lineup

2012-Endor- Good guys- 2 rebels, 2 ewoks, Bad-guys- 2 stormies, 2 scouts.

2013-501st assault- 2 501st trooper, 1 airborne 501st, and a 501s commander. 3 Jedi padawan and a Jedi master.

2014-3 tusken raiders, 1 tusken leader. 4 unique Jawas.

2015-BAttle of mygeeto-3 galatic marines, 1 AT-RT driver, and an AT-RT. Handful of droids

Thats all I can think of, what do you want to see BP-wise?

I think someone's already made ALL of those suggestions... and battle packs have to contain vehicles of some sort or else Hasbro will whine about it. Seven or eight minifigures would really be pushing it for a battlepack... we're lucky to get four.

The only reason the Expanded Universe sets have gone on sale is because none of today's children have the slightest idea what they are. As I've said before, LEGO needs to release something from the Expanded Universe that people would recognize.

A battlepack with a decently scaled AT-RT, 74-Z speeder bike, or BARC speeder would be really nice. What if LEGO just made a set with one light ground vehicle (such as an AT-ST) and included a bunch of troops with it? One AT-RT with driver, then three 7th troopers (Cody's men, I believe. I'm thinking of the Outer Rim Sieges and Clone Wars Chapter 22...) Or one droideka with five battle droids.

A CR20 troop carrier and six clone troopers...

Agreed.

I just Endor BPs, which we're almost certainly going to get. After that, well, I guess Tuskens and Jawas are pretty rare, huh? Although those were suggested a long time ago. Personally I'm open to whatever TLG gives us, so long as it has a decent vehicle, decent price, and the 'figs aren't over CW-ified.

When I listed two sets of Figs, I meant they would both be separate BPs coming at the same time. I haven't read EVERY page hear, obviously. I wonder what TLG will do though, after the BP we just got, anythings possible. 2 bomb squads? whats up with that

Good points. They need to redesing the bongo with LEGO's smoother parts. Personally, although Wayland would make sence, I don't think it would be the best set. Perhaps Talon karrde's pirate base, or the cloning base. And the 100 dollar set- if this would be Zahn in general- should be Outbound Flight (Though it would be probably wind up being midi), with a large cast of charecters.

Er, the Spaarti cloning facility was on Wayland. The midi-set, if any, should be in the $40 range, since the $100 set is targeted toward older kids and kids who ask for only LEGO for Christmas, and most of those probably won't know what Outbound Flight is. (Not that they'd know what Thrawn is, but that's beside the point)

How about an UCS Boba Fett Slave 1 ship????

[Fallenangel]

How about an UCS Boba Fett Slave 1 ship????

You said almost exactly the same thing on FBTB only two hours ago... you even called it "Boba Fett Slave 1 Ship". It's "Boba Fett's Slave I", not a "Slave 1 ship". In addition, the convention is that UCS is pronounced "you-see-ess" as an acronym, so "an UCS" isn't right...

Given the fact that you only see the Slave I on screen for less than 30 seconds in Empire, I doubt LEGO would release such a set. The Slave I may be a whole lot of fun for the kiddies (seeing as LEGO's done three renditions now) but it probably wouldn't sell well as a UCS. It is true that Slave I did play an important role, but it doesn't have a shape which is recognizable at a glance. And while I disagree, the general opinion is that Slave I isn't as iconic as other ships LEGO has released as UCS sets, such as the X-wing or the Falcon.

What's more, a decent UCS Slave I would have to be truescale, which means it would have to be around 65 studs in length and cost several hundred dollars. I'm not sure people would pay that much for a ship they barely recognize (although the recent $80 rendition may prove me wrong).

As for a Thrawn set, I can see LEGO releasing a mole miner with a spacetrooper inside it. And I think I've already mentioned the possibility of a Skipray blastboat with either Luke or Mara. I can't think of any interesting starships they could include in a Wayland set except a Lambda shuttle...

Midi-scale Dreadnaught would be great... but if LEGO's going to continue the midi-scale line, a Tantive IV seems like a better choice. It would continue the practice of making iconic starships which are already UCS sets into midi-scale sets.

FallenAngel, your just being obnoxious now. It's kind of getting old. The topic is called; "what sets would YOU like to see." It's not, "What sets does FallenAngel-Approve-of-and think-would-be-best-sellers." If your not aware Your getting a reputation as the matter-of-fact/Jerk guy.

On Topic: A UCS slave 1 would be cool, Lego could really capture details not seen in the ones meant for minifigs!

Sorry. I suppose I should stop before I'm relocated to the Chamber...

Although a point can be made that if we don't discuss the wants, which includes the probablity of release factor, then this is just one huge boring list.

Anyways, on-topic, with TLG's excelent midi SD frame design, they should seriously use it to do the Executor, that could be good as a midi as well as a UCS. Tantive IV doesn't sound bad; I'd certainly be willing to give it a chance, and it could be a good white parts pack. Midi X-wing or Y-wing would be nice too, but they wouldn't be worth $40 by a long shot. Maybe if they were packaged witha TIE/ln and a TIE x1, like the original System Y-wing set was.

The likelihood of a set being made is not based on screen time. Lego's already made 3x Boba Fett Slave 1s in minifig scale alone, why is a UCS versison so inconceivable? They've already made sets I would not have expected in a million years (Tie Defender/Crawler, Rogue Shadow etc). If you're going by which vehicles fans love more, then Slave 1 is waaaaaayyy up there. And UCS is aimed precisely at these hardcore Star Wars AFOLs, not children. The entire line exists to appease adult fans, who sure as hell know what Slave 1 is in a glance and can afford to plonk down a few hundred bucks on a highly detailed set. They've released UCS Imperial Shuttle and Naboo N1 (a ship that for better or worse, is still associated with Episode I), ships I'd consider far less popular or memorable.

I like fallenangel327's brash opinions, I think we need more people like that so we can get some heated discussions on here! Currently this forum is filled with wish lists, which are fine I guess, but it's more fun to put some odds behind the wishes coming true.

I'd say we will get a UCS Slave I at some point in the future for sure, but currently the market is oversaturated with Slave I's. I have no idea why we got a new one so soon after the previous model (unless we're getting a new Cloud City, please please). I think it would be highly unlikely on TLG's part to release a UCS model that would have to compete with the regular model on the shelves.

So yes, both the Slave I and AT-AT will probably need to wait until the regular models aren't on shelves anymore.

I'd consider the Lambda ore iconic that Slave 1, but after this year's Aethersprite, I suppose anything could happen...

The N-1 I sort of understand- it was released in 2002, and if you look closely notice the box art depicts the fighter over Coruscant, not Naboo, so it is, in fact, an Ep. 2 set that was released at an appropriate time. When it was designed it was appearing in both PT films of the time and TLG could've been viewing it as the up in coming X-wing of the PT.

Conversations can go very negative very quickly, which is what I feel happened here. Isn't it more productive to discuss currently suggested sets, and what they would contain? Rather than griping about probability, and how iconic the idea is. I suppose it's ok to say that you disagree, and that's just your opinion. However being rude, and acting like you opinion is "the" correct, fact-like, opinion can make a topic have a turn for the worst.

I always agree with Fallenangel. He brings the reality to a set that people want to include 20+ minfigs and cost $50-$60....

Like someone else said. Without the reality this thread is just a bunch of lists.

I'd like to see just a wookie flyer (don't remember actual name) in a set by itself. There are prety good shots of it in ROTS.

Includes 2 wookies. Just a cheap little set $20,30 or 40 dollars depending on accuracy and size.

The issue is not actually not what the person's opinion is, but how the person states it. I have deep respect for fallenangel's (and other expert's) intellect and knowledge in the SW universe. It's just sometimes, some members might read one's comments in a negative way if not stated with a less harsh tone. I used to have spats with him before, but as time went by I understood his way of saying things and he in turn toned down a bit on his sarcasm. Though I'd agree there have been some very ridiculous wishes here, but no matter how unrealistic they are, this is the proper place for it. No one is really obliged to comment on every unrealistic wish that is posted here.

Back on topic, you mean the Raddaugh Gnasp fluttercraft, a.k.a. Wookiee ornithopter? That would be a good way for TLG to provide us with updated Wookiees (like they way they updated the generic Gungan soldier).

Um, that exact thing came at that price with those minifigs in 2005, only with an NR-N99 and a Dwarf Spider Droid. Personally, I'd love to see it rereleased, but it doesn't play major roles or is set to play one soon, and it isn't iconic enough to warrant a remake without a simultaneous appearance in a current Star Wars film or show.
