First of all, cool name and pfp. Second, I agree 100%. I know the Landspeeder has become a joke in the lego community, and it is kinda funny how many they have released within such a short amount of time. But this UCS is fantastic! I’ve always wanted one and it looks great at this scale. Solid fun build of an iconic vehicle that gets way too much hate. Side note, the most recent minifig scale version was also really good

Thank you  Same to you. Huge LOTR Lego fan, I really hope they bring the line back. And yeah, I hope people come around on the Landspeeded. The stigma is unfair.

Cad Bane looks great, but no way am I buying this set. Gotta save up for the Eiffel Tower/Knight's Castle/Hogwarts Express/Razor Crest/AT-TE/... ah what difference does it make, LEGO is already bankrupting me anyway

Lego is really keeping Cody under wraps it seems, hope he or the set don't leak before Lego Con tbh. 

[PsychoBuilder]

Anyone mind private messaging me the image of the back of the instruction manual please? I can't seem to find it on Instagram anywhere.

Edit:

Never mind, I found it (from Codyleaks lol). Wow, that really is terrible.

Oh, lol, I blocked him. That's why he didn't appear to me
Anyhoo, that is an awful picture. I don't get how anyone can make anything out of it.
Except maybe the starfighter.

My new (and I think correct) theory is that it’s a Tatooine building (Garsa’s Sanctuary?) with a Scorpenek. Cmon, where is everyone? This is a NEW, NEVER BEFORE LEAKED SET!!!

You must have godlike vision to make out all of those sets! Haha, that picture quality is absolutely terrible. 

But I can see a beige splodge in the middle and I like location sets, so I hope your theory is right.

It's like the grievous fighter from 2020, except twice the price. Someone might buy a set that should be $40-50 for $80, but I don't see many people buying a set that should be $80-100 for $160. Unless the justifier is, like, a bionicle, there's no justification for the price.

Not really the comparison i’d make for that. Promobricks says it’s the size of the playscale falcon, which is pretty in line with $160 (or i guess $170 now but you know what I mean), It’s just a really niche thing to pick for the price point. The AT-TE  from what we’ve been hearing about it, honestly sounds more overpriced than the Justifier does.

Your elf eyes must be able to see into the fifth dimension then because I don‘t see sh*t

This potato image is an insult to actual potatoes. I‘ve seen better images on the Gameboy camera!

Surely you can make out the Scythe and BD-1 too, lol. Also, you can tell by the general colour of the sets' backgrounds that the 2 sets on the bottom right are the Andor tac-pod shuttle and the duel set. Then the only ones left are the AT-TE, the Justifier (roughly distinguishable), and the weird unknown one that I think is Garsa's Sanctuary with a Scorpenek.

I made a Youtube video where I labelled them and prompted speculation in the comments, the link to my channel is on my profile here if you wanna see it, probably shouldn't link the video here though.

Edit: Also, I just found a supposed leak of Cody, and he appears to have the grey bottom half of the torso like the apparently fake leak of the torso. I'm sceptical.

Edit: Aaaaand I just noticed that each "leak" has a different amount of the belt coloured orange, so at most only one can be real.

I really hope it gets revealed at LEGO Con and not leaked before then. I think it would be nice to have a true genuine reveal. Maybe that is just me. Only a few more days either way!

You‘re missing the 4+ AT-ST. Maybe the one you think is the AT-TE is actually the AT-ST and the one in the middle is the AT-TE?

I mean we surely would‘ve heard about another set in this wave by now if one was coming

As exciting as a surprise set would be, it does seem hard to believe that some mention of it wouldn't have leaked by now. I was also wondering if any of those blurry panels could be either the Republic Fighter Tank or the N-1, or maybe those are on the other page with January and march stuff.

[HatBricks]

Whelp First pictures of commander cody have appeared, he's actually real.

I think this means we have pictures of all the summer star wars minifigures except for the clone gunner.

[McMurder_them_softly]

Commander Cody looks better than I thought he would. I still think the visor with a new shorter mold and antenna would be the best but this is pretty good too. Overall, I am pleased. I hope the set follows this.

Aside from if there's any new figs in that possible new set from the instruction manual.

I think he looks good. The image also implies that the AT-TE has an interior, which is nice, since IIRC the 2013 one really didn't have too much of one.

[McMurder_them_softly]

Maybe the arms are too orange, but can overlook that.

If it is the size of the playscale falcon, then it's still pretty overpriced, the most recent playscale falcon had around 300 more pieces than the justifier, and 2 more minifigures. That's a pretty substantial change. That's like an entire Anakin's ETA-2 of extra parts and figures.

 

[Legoman123]

So the AT-TE is based off of ROTS? 
 

If that’s the case I really don’t understand why the clones look like they are based off of the Clone Wars TV show to be honest. The mouth peace in particular.

Cody is okay but I do think they should have done a moulded visor with antenna.

They've been doing that since 2020 (look at the torsos of the Airborne Trooper in Grievous' Starfighter and the Commander in the UCS Gunship). They look so bad compared to the 2014-2019 style, it's really putting me off from buying any of the recent clone sets...

Pretty sure it’s because Lego is going for a more uniform look for the clones, so it combines the 2 looks rather than making them specifically for either TCW or ROTS

[benderisgreat]

New Comander Cody looks great, finally we have him! Although I agree that his visor should have had antenna molded into it, it still looks really good. Now I have to get that At-Te set😅

[storskogen]

Lego really deserves compliments this time for a number of reasons:

1. We got a Cody minifigure!

2. It’s phase 2 Cody

3. It looks excellent

4. Its design can be used with previous clones and works well with both ROTS and TCW

5. It comes in a set which is not too expensive and offers other interesting minifigures which are massable (as well as the set itself)

6. Lego actually listen to the fans, even the AFOL minority, and sometimes does please their wishes

[McMurder_them_softly]

Clone gunner also leaked and looks great!

Honestly with all of the perceived interest in P2 Cody, it leaked and *crickets*. Maybe needs more info/time to digest

I'm just waiting on the AT-TE itself. Cody looks absolutely amazing, but I'm not really all that thrilled with the descriptions of the set itself so far. I'm hoping for a pleasant surprise, but I'm not gonna count on it, and ultimately, it's not gonna stop me from getting it just for Cody

[THELEGOBATMAN]

Great minifigures. Happy for people who have wanted them for a long time.

You’re not wrong, but it has happened before. I remember in Summer 2020 we were only expecting one $100 set until set pictures leaked and we found out that we were getting two, one of which was a retail exclusive. Could be the same case here, though Lego seems to only be doing some of the 18+ sets as retail exclusives for this theme currently.

Idk, I just want a Cobb Vanth figure. I’m just going to continue gaslighting myself into believing that that blurry tan blob is a Mos Pelgo (sorry, “Freetown”) set. 😂

 

Anywho, I think Cody looks perfect. I was a bit worried that the visor would look too big on the helmet but I think it looks great. The Clone Gunner looks fantastic as well. I’m just not quite as excited for it as the other Clones in this set since I already have the previous Phase 2 Clone Gunner from 2017.

At this point, I’m just ready to see pictures of the set itself. I’m surprised that we’re getting pictures of the figures from the box art but no pictures of the set itself.
