So, this is not supposed to be the equivalent of last year's Imperial Dropship vs. Rebel Scout Trooper set, right? Do we even know if there will be another one of these shop exclusives this year?

Rumour was for a Christmas themed one. A gingerbread imperial craft, though I've heard both walker and tie so who knows which it'll end up being.

[Yperio_Bricks]

When do we usually get info about next years set names? Since this year is a dud, 2026 can't come soon enough.

Take it with a grain of salt, but someone on the Star Wars subreddit posted a photo of a store's POS scanner, and the set 75143 appears labeled as SW UT-AT.
I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post photos or links here — could someone confirm this? Thanks!

Yeah I just saw that too and someone else in the replies said it's the same at their store.

Maybe it was originally going to be a UT-AT and the name stuck for a bit after it changed to a Turbo Tank? I remember with the TLJ transport pod set it was put on shelves in some stores with the tag on the shelf saying "honey jar ship" which I guess was the preliminary pseudonym or something. 

Of course, I hope it really is a UT-AT but we've had some pretty credible people saying it's not.

I think this explanation is most likely.  I could definitely see the UT-AT being the original idea, and then the designers/whoever deciding that  Turbo Tank would sell better (let's face it, it's way more recognizable, especially since it showed up in Mando, and as a toy, it probably is more appealing - giant tank with 10 wheels versus a hovertank that would probably just look like a rectangle with a cockpit and gun) but included the Galactic Marines still.

Also, after the whole Target Temple of Doom thing, I'm wary about point-of-sale leaks (I know that situation was different, but still).

I believe the initial rumor was a christmas TIE and it was later altered to a christmas walker.

I think we've usually known the January set prices by about the time the August wave releases. I feel like we've been hearing the 1HY set names earlier and earlier, though. I remember when around November we still only had codenames for some of the January stuff, now it feels like we know the May sets almost a year out.

 

Sam Witwer has officially given his opinion on the Darth Maul minifigure from the mech's altered pupils. Apparently the mech figure looks more controlled whereas the pupiled one from the throne room looks crazed. It's cool to see the voice actor officially talk about his character.

In all the years I’ve followed news for leaks never seen so much randomness and inconsistency around a set. I’ve seen the thing on Reddit saying it’s a UT-AT and not a turbo tank. Leakers are saying it’s a turbo tank and not a UT-AT. Surely if things are showing in stores they would have the right name, but then also why is it showing up ready in stores 3 months before release? Surely Lego would be sending out info of set number and name a few months in advance? They announced K2S0 in April which is an August set so if they had pictures ready for that and finalised the rest of the wave should be the same surely.

i’m trying not to moan but it’s just so strange. Hopefully pictures will come soon and clear it all up. I’m probably on my own here with it being my most anticipated set but I just want to do an old school battlefront 2 MOC with the marines. I want to enjoy some nostalgia lol. 

[ForgedInLego]

Just finished Jango's Slave 1 and wow, this build is great. I didn't hate the stickers as much as I thought I would since they were spread out pretty well across the build and I'm not one of the people who obsesses over minifigs so no complaints there either. The way the shaping effortlessly falls into place for the base without sacrificing strength is nothing short of incredible. I know a lot of people have already written off this whole year, but IMO this one set makes up for all of it (of course only if you want to spend $300 on Legos)

The door and ramp mechanism looks suspiciously similar to the one I put on a MOC I posted a couple years ago though....

99.9% it’s a downscaled Turbo Tank. 

It just shows that many leaks come from the figures and not the other way around, hence the confusion. 

Leakers make logical assumptions. The figure lineup points to anything but a Turbo Tank, and everything to a UT-AT

Along the way, there must have been a specific leak pipeline that knew some form of Turbo Tank was coming, hence the original rumour of its being Rebuild the Galaxy.

Ah yes, i am aware of these leaks. Though i was under the impression it's another one of those employee gifts like the old Christmas X-Wing, rather than a set on sale.

I can kinda see where he’s coming from, but Witwer really is one of the best people associated with Star Wars. I always respect his takes.

Yeah this really annoys me too  We know they have the set images all ready to go but are just sitting on them - at least until they inevitably leak and Lego pulls their surprise Pikachu face. It wouldn’t feel as annoying if most other themes’ summer sets hadn’t already been revealed (nor if a set from the Star Wars summer wave hadn’t already been revealed almost a month ago!).

I’m beating a dead horse but that buildable K2 or the buildable Wicket  should have been a Fondor Haulcraft instead. People have been talking about that ship enough since 2022 for Lego to at least be aware it’s highly requested.

I’m planning to pick this set up soon so the continued positive feedback is really encouraging to see  Is the stand poorly balanced? I was surprised to see that when watching Jang’s review.

Curious to see if there’ll be any highlights from the system-scale Slave I, I know rumours have mentioned the third minifigure will be a Kaminoan but it wouldn’t be the worst set to put Count Dooku in either…

If i did my math correctly, based on the one and only @CloneCommando99 calculations, we are at Day #19 now. 

 

So, i finally got to build the Kamino Training Facility set and am very happy with it. As far as character accuracy goes, the Clone Cadets are probably as close to perfection as you can get. Did not expect Lego to give them both arm printing and dual moulded (already available Santa) legs. 

I mean, these GWPs always come down to a "damn if you do - damn if you don't" kinda situation. If the set is well executed, everyone and their mother hates the extra paywall and is asking for a regular release. If it's not appealing or a no-show to begin with, of course, everyone else is disappointed. 

Just think it's about nailing that sweet spot between popularity and obscurity, tend to go with the latter since Star Wars Day kinda speaks more to hardcore fans of the franchise. And in that regard, this year's GWP excels more than the Trade Federation Troop Carrier from 2024. Like, you could make that distinction between a good set and a bad choice for a GWP. 

Personally appreciate the long awaited return of minifigures for the May the 4th Promo. Combined with some actual builds, it basically makes up for a best of both worlds approach, combining the old and more recent GWPs. I hope they stick with this format for the foreseeable future.

In my mind I’m praying that leakers reveal on Wednesday that the Christmas AT AT is actually the Death Star GWP with a single figure. And the £80 Lego Exclusive set will end up with the 3 figs (Cassian, Stormtrooper and Range Trooper) and be a Tie Avenger. Hence why there’s been such confusion.

 

It’s a delusional idea though. And my theories (apart from V-19) have never turned out to be true. I still wince from the memory of my theorising that last year’s Young Leia set was actually a Zillo Beast with Omega or that the X-Wing vs Tie was a New Republic set.

 

What Clone vehicle types will be left undone after this year? If we figure that out, we know what to expect next year.

I feel like he overexaggerated it in his review, if an earthquake is powerful enough to knock it over you have MUCH bigger problems. Yes, it could have used more support on the rear, but it shouldn't be a deal breaker. The stand I built for Obi Wan's Delta 7 is much less stable, and still I'm not too worried about it.

Without the Kamino GWP you might want to wait to see if the system scale one is any good first, but this is gotta be one of if not the best UCS sets ever made

Oh yeah. He out star-warsed Filoni on one of his first days working on TCW. My ideal star wars setup would be Filoni as chief creative director with Witwer as a loremaster to keep his retcons in check.

To be fair this one actually made a ton of sense in the context of what we knew at the time (Unlike the TIE avenger one, sorry man- if it does happen it won't be the holiday/anniversary exclusive set)

A drawing of the CTT has leaked! Looks pretty decent in my opinion ^^

Those sketches are horrible though. The new 3in1 castle the sketch made the set look so bad and then the real pictures and it’s so much better. So taking it as a good sign. Just want to know how many figures mainly marines are coming with it. 

I am a fan of downsized vehicles in general and i messed up not getting the last CTT but I still wish for the UTAT but looking forward to the pics coming I worked a 20 hour day on the recent U.K. local elections to be able to afford this wave so hopefully it’s worth it

For a £90 set.

 

I just can’t see where the price is justified here. Is there a heavily moulded Octupara Tri-droid as a side build or something?

I know. I know.

But rebellions are built on hope.

Andor Season 2 is just too good and has so much set potential for it to just get ignored from now on by Lego. I will die on this hill.

Blasphemy. Using actual drawings as a basis to fuel speculation for upcoming sets, is where i literally draw the line. 

Other than that, pretty decent for what? A 100_ set tops? Sure. For the actual price it releases? Not so much.

Day #6 of asking Lego not to, oh wait, i already did that today. 

[CallumPears]

Maybe the reason it costs so much is because there's a side-build of an entire UT-AT

All of the other sketches have seemingly been directly traced over their original images, and this one looks like that too, so it's kinda exactly what it's going to look like and I feel like it's pretty fair to at least judge it a little based on the sketched outline.

Imo, it does look pretty alright based on what we can gather from the sketch, but still nowhere approaching worth the price.

 

Also, the Inquisitor Transport Scythe might be a fairly good point of comparison for this. It looks like it'll be about the same size, and it has ~100 more pieces, the same number of minifigs, and the same number of new/revived moulds (3) (4 if you count Obi-Wan's exclusive cloth cape, which would put it ahead), and yet it costs significantly less money.

I'm looking at the last Turbo Tank and I just can't tell how this is only 830 pieces, even with what's just there in the picture. The last one was 100 more pieces, and these look to be about the same size- almost exactly. Even if we remove the AT-RT, the brick built wheels mean this should be MORE pieces than the 2016 model, not less. (There are some other minor differences- the middle section appears to be shorter and some frontal details are missing, but to counter that the underside of the vehicle appears to be significantly more detailed) Either the piece count is wrong or this thing literally doesn't have an interior.

Wow Hasbro seriously missed that? Ridiculous. 

Also further proof that the people shutting down valid criticisms of LEGO by saying "JuSt BuY bLaCk SeRiEs" don't have any idea of what they're talking about. 

Anyway yeah it's one of the renders like they have on PaB and the Replacement Parts Service but it looks good.

Thanks for the heads up, your stand for Obi-Wan’s Delta-7 is awesome by the way! And yeah I’m going to see how good the playscale one is before buying.

CTT sketch looks good, as does Bacara’s helmet. I’m still sad that we (seemingly) aren’t getting a single playscale set with a good piece count and sizeable interior this year.
