LEGO Star Wars 2024 Set Discussion - READ FIRST POST!!!

[Guest]

Pretty strong wave for June, especially love Bunker. Seems like door can be moved.

Also does it mean that we still wait some reveals on the live stream?

[Lego Nostalgia]

I wonder if they will reuse that helmet mould from the Imperial Mando's for some Deathtroopers since they look similar, is that mould for the Deathtroopers from 2017 not in production anymore ?

HD August set pictures are releasing left, right, and centre for other themes. I’m sure Star Wars isn’t far behind. Here’s hoping the livestream reveals the upcoming anniversary sets at least.

I just found that Nubs's torso (from the 75384 The Crimson Firehawk) is up at PAB online. How is that even possible? Have any LSW torsos been at PAB before?

Ages ago I got the whole OG Sabine plus Kallus heads and a helmet, the full 2015 inquisitor was up then too but I had his set already.

Okay, that is a pretty interesting mech. I was waiting for an all orange one and they go for an "Anime X-Wing Mech"!

 

June sets are good, I like the focus on terrains. And $10 Rex is great too, imo!

That's interesting, thanks! Reminds me of Pippin's torso (from the Rivendell set) I snatched from PAB last year. I wonder how these LSW and LOTR stuff ends up at PAB?!

The newly revealed sets look great! I especially love the bp and bunker sets. The figures look fantastic and the builds look great. It also looks like the 2 sets can combine. My only complaints with the bunker set is that it's definitely too small for the price and Gideon should have had a cape.

Rex's Y-Wing is a perfect little set and I'm so happy to be able to get that figure for cheap! 

Luke's X-Wing mech is way better than I expected. Still, would have been nice if he had the printed arms but at least they come on a keychain that can easily be swapped out.

[Meaf]

The new sets look not bad. The Bunker is kinda meh but maybe seeing more pictures will sell me on it. Battle pack has a mid build but the minifigs are good so I'll probably grab it. I don't care about microfighters but I will probably get this one for Rex eventually. And weirdly I actually kind of like the Luke mech? It's dumb but in a fun way, I honestly could see myself getting it as an impulse buy if I happen to see it in a store.

The new sets look great!

The X-Wing Mech is a fun gimmick, but will probably pass

The Mandalorian sets look nice, decent builds, but I'm not sure if I'll get them, yet. For now, the the only attraction is Moff Gideon in his armor.

Hopefully the Death Star Playset will be revealed this weekend.

It's really hard to see details and helmets, but for now:

Rex Microfighter- Must buy for me, really happy I waited and didn't spend $100 or more on one on bricklink. Pauldron is an extra bonus. Build looks nice. So glad LEGO made this set and I know so many fans waited for years for this.

Luke's Mech- Not for me, build is nice and I like mechs, but I have no interest in any of the OT mechs they released except Boba that I already bought.

Mandalorian battle pack- Blue Mandos look perfect, build is okay. Need better picture of the Imperial Mandalorians as I am very specific with my helmets and it's very hard to see. Wish they also had a jetpack, but I realize this is more accurate. Wondering how Koska looks and are we going to get a hair for her and how her face print is... Aiming to get 9 BP and then decide if I am going for more or am I going to just bricklink a certain minifigure.

Bunker set-  Again really hard to see, but the build looks nice. I wonder if you can raise the doors. Already have Paz so not that interested in him,but his weapon looks really cool though. Wish Moff Giddeon had a cape, really hard to see his helmet to comment on it properly. Praetorians are the weakest part of the set. I can't see their helmets, but they just lack this presence they had in the show, no shoulder accessory, no cloth robe piece and their weapons are really weak, also where is the third one? Need more information to judge it properly.

Ewww, that would not work.

No I think they'd just use the existing part, star wars parts have been brought back after longer hiatuses. Minifig molds for star wars don't always seem to follow the same rules with mold eradication as other molds.

The Mandalorian Bunker and Battle Pack look awesome! My only nitpick is the Praetorian Guards should’ve had shoulder armour, the lack thereof makes their helmets look more oversized than they actually are. 

Can’t believe they actually went through the trouble of making a new mould for Gideon as well. 

The models themselves are actually really well built too? Especially the bunker. And of course Rex’s Microfighter will sell out so quickly a new unit of time will need to be derived.

Very solid wave. Let’s hope at least some of the August wave will be revealed in today’s livestream.

Agreed on the shoulder pads for the Praetorians.

And I think the Imperial super Commandos use the First order jet trooper backpack part.

Eh not really, imo the clone commandos don't have such prominent breathing tubes it would work for Hunter though ( and I've always thought his helmet is what a phase 2 commando helmet would look like if they'd had 2 clone commando phases)

Also hoping for the Death Star reveal soon!  
 

the new sets look good.  Getting Rex cheap, a good battle pack (nice to get a non-clone one for a change of pace).  The mech is surprisingly interesting will only get one for my kid because I have way too many pilot Luke’s but it is more interesting than the previous builds.  I will probably bricklink the mandalorian characters down the road when they are cheaper, set looks fine but definitely focused on the play aspects.

Yes I think you're right! Wonder if it has a printed tile on the back?

[Legofan2001]

The imperial set is confirmed to be a Star Destroyer with 1,500 pieces!

I feel like a Phase 1 helmet without the finn on top would be good for the clone commandos

What, Impossible, where did u see this, give me a link, this actually might be cool, I've always wanted a new one in Minifigure scale since I have the ucs one.

I wonder how long the stream is supposed to last… and whether they will eventually get to content not known to the minority we’re in… as I wrote they just announced they are wrapping up so all this to cover products which were already fully disclosed on their own website. Oh well.

It's Lego what do you expect, they never reveal things we want only things already revealed or leaked that everyone with a phone has seen.

Obviously with hindsight “new set reveals” meant that they would be showing off the new sets just released. Most fans aren’t on these forums waiting for leaks so for most people these sets are new reveals

Just checked Reddit kind of bummed if it’s true. My interest has just plummeted might just be picking up the figures 2nd hand now.

would they include tarkin in a star destroyer? If not then it opens up renown’s clue again.

I don't think so, it's just $40. Look at the spider-tank with Bo-Katan which costs $50

Both overpriced.

The Microfighter itself is just a pile of parts as expected, but we all know the real reason that this will be a bestseller! 
The Mando bunker looks pretty good - A bit sparse, but faithful to the source material! Also, the First Order Jet Trooper jetpack is a good choice for the sleeker Imperial Mando jetpacks. 
The Mando battle pack looks excellent! The new dual-moulded Imperial Mando helmets are great, and it appears that the loyalist Mandos are not the Fleet Commander and Koska Reeves, as was rumoured! The loyalists have two different helmets and torsos, but I cannot quite see the leg printing (so it might be the same across both); regardless, I look forward to mixing-and-matching to build up a nice Mando army! Surprisingly, the build is actually really good (for terrain in a battle pack); it fits well alongside the bunker, and it actually replicates the in-show location.

Maybe? I will need to see better pics of them in order to decide.

I think so looks more like a back pack than jet pack 

FO Jet Trooper pack, actually (and used in this year’s City Space sets).

The guards that appear in The Mandalorian have less pronounced shoulder armour than the ones in TLJ, so adding the shoulder pad piece would probably make them look too bulky (in addition to interfering with the new helmet mould).

Literally my first thought when I saw it was “That is a Gundam!”!!

Good. Judging by Yavin, LSW is better off not botching location sets and sticking with ships

Conversely, my interest just shot up. I don't have an ISD and I think the playscale ISD from 2014 was really good.
