Episode V being the best covered movie is kinda ironic when you consider how little Lego seems to do anything based on Cloud City. A character such as Lando Calrissian should be more accessable, i think. A UCS Falcon based on TESB could finally include a Lando wearing Han's cloths, though. 

Yep, and the strategy of re-releasing iconic sets meant for newcomers and those who missed it, while including those exclusive figures to also appeal to long time fans who already got it, is to Lego's liking anyways. 

True well covered (there are. It many ch racers that have not been done and I don’t think any vehicles other than a tie shuttle) doesn’t mean they can’t do remakes which we desperately need from this movie (Lando and Leia from cloud city stand out)

What racers are you talking about? 

Yeah, Lego did ten Lando minifigures in 26 years, which definitely isn't a whole lot to say the least. 

 

Looking at the newly revealed Lego Ideas Flying Moon Car, it only increases my desire of a Bounty Hunter Pursuit remake. That thing looks like a more basic Coruscant Speeder to me.

It is a strange auto correct of "characters' (should say "not many characters"). Episode V is only missing a handful of characters at this point (mostly imperial officers).  But to your point, they have not made enough Lando's (especially recently). It is even crazier that the two Cloud City based Lando minifigures came in two incredibly expensive sets at the time.  Cloud City Lando is harder to find than Grand Moff Tarkin, and almost as rare as Admiral Piett.

Oh yeah... figures. I first asked myself what business the Boonta Eve Podracers had with Cloud City. 

That's true. I don't think there are many characters left to do for Episode V. You do notice how TESB got no dedicated Glup Shitto scene like ANH has with the Cantina and ROTJ with Jabba's Palace. 

Yes, it's insane Bespin Lando is that inaccessible. I only have him in oldschool style because of the 20th anniversary. Still want his modern version.

Anniversaries, “your joking another one? For god sake”

Might be on my own here but I think we need to cool down with these anniversaries literally every year now is some kind of landmark.i must admit 50th anniversary of SW is maybe something to celebrate but it should be something that celebrates the entire franchise as a whole. Maybe 30 years for LSW in 2029 they can do a couple of special figures but after that we’ve got to let them go. If every year is supposed to be special for one reason or the other it becomes not special and it’s just mundane and the norm. 

do we think the influencers will get their review sets for the August wave soon? Still can’t believe we have had any official pics yet and still nothing from the AT-ST

We’ll probably have pics by Tuesday one way or another.

I’m more interested in us getting 2026 set news from a more reliable source than JediBricks. And what the Cobb Vanth/ boba set actually is.

Oh, i agree. I would see the general (Lego) Star Wars anniversary as the main events. For everything else, a nod here and there would be sufficient. You don't need to celebrate every property in a big way in order to acknowledge it's anniversary. Like you said, if something special is supposed to happen all the time, it loses it's meaning rather quickly. 

Of course, as i said multiple times by now, it would help if Lego releases sets for sub-themes in between those anniversaries. That way you don't have to bet on single years and it might help keeping people's expectations for these occasions in check. 

The summer wave set reviews, whether they have been officially revealed until then or not, are bound to arrive next week. Still keen on seeing the extent of damage dealt to the upcoming Clone Turbo Tank.

Looks like the gingerbread AT-AT comes with a gingerbread Vader. Sweet. Price seems pretty hefty for what it is. Wonder what kind of scale the AT-AT will be

Given both the price point and piece count, i doubt it's gonna exceed midi-scale. 

I wish Lego would go back to these more eccentric looking holiday figures for the Advent Calendars.

Double edged sword. I like the random figures of calendars in years past. But I like the idea of this years calendar despite the fact I don’t really want droids. But I like that one year you have a clone one, or a tatooine one, or rebel /imperial etc. think marvel and hp have had these themes before for there calendars. 

if we are getting news of the gingerbread AT-AT Death Star figure list and details won’t be long. Especially as other D2C sets have had details and figures leak for later in the year like the Star Trek set

Possibly in the Ferrix stage recruiting the guy to get the job done

It would be the bros dream to have 24 different clone figures for 24 days of Christmas or would it be 24 of the same. As some one with a higher BMI I’m still waiting for the ultimate chocolate Lego adventure calendar lmao

I'd like to see themed calendars as well. Yet i don't think having one or two goofy holiday minifigures would rule those out. Just think the ugly christmas sweater thing is a little played out at this point. Though given the choice, the best course of action would be to have some exclusive characters (or rarer versions of existing ones) we typically wouldn't get in regular sets.

This is such an odd take.  Lando is a supporting character with limited screentime and he has had 10 minifigs?  That seems like a lot.

I looked it up...he has 17 mins of total screentime between empire and Jedi.  (11 mins in empire and 6 in Jedi)

I know the discussion was about the OT.  Disregarding the 1 fig based on solo so that's 1 fig for every 1.8 mins of screen time 😆.  There have been plenty of Lando figs available over the years 🤷

Vader had 8 minutes of screen time in a new hope. Don't pretend you need hours of screen time to be an important character.  (Also, I don't feel the need to do the exact math on this, but luke has 63 minifigures, so I gurantee you he's got a similar "figures to OT screen time ratio" to Lando- which, by the way, is an absurd metric you've created.)

If you currently want Lando in something other than his skiff disguise, which, you know, is a disguise and not what he's really known for wearing, you're completely out of luck from lego themselves. If you want his signature look, the famous cloud city blue costume with a post 2003 design aesthetic, I guess you could just shell out $180 minimum on bricklink. For a single used minifigure. Too much? His general outfit is "only" $45.

This probably comes off as a bit aggressive, but don't come out here with this argument that, what, lando doesn't deserve to be readily availible? He's some sort of minor character?

I'm curious where you got 8 mins from? It's not much more than that but that's not right...Vader is also also a main character (as is Luke making that comparison silly and irrelevant).

Lando has been readily available.   Unless you are new to the hobby you likely have a Lando.. .or multiple.  The last one was in 2024.  You are nit picking about a certain outfit?  Even that outfit that you are nit picking about was last released in 2019...you could still find it on shelves in 2020.  That is very recent.  These complaints are unfounded.  But you also don't like the anniversary figure with the outfit you are asking for.  This comes off as whining and isn't based on any actual lack of the character in Lego form.

(We won't get into the history of Lando as a general toy even though that may relate 😉).

Lando is as much a main character in RoTJ as Palpatine. I mean, whenever the film cut to the space battle it was mostly Lando’s POV.

This is like saying it’d be fine for only old man or stormtrooper disguise Luke to be on shelves instead of his more iconic Pilot, Jedi or farmboy appearances

Or Rako Hardeen instead of mainline Obi-Wan.

Yeah, while i'm not too found of this year's droid theme, i find it interesting if this is leading up to a constant line of themed calendars.

What an odd take to call it an odd take. Never tell me the odd takes. 

Wow... This gotta be the most miserable metric i've seen for a long time. If i ever wanna disagree with someone just for the sake of it, rest assured, i'm gonna use this one. 

There is also one more minifigure based on TROS for you to disregard. Quick, get that into your calculations. Now it's actually one minifigure every 2+ minutes of screen time. Given the possible many extra seconds that are unaccounted for, i don't wanna be more specific than this. But can we make it to three minutes? You can tell me exactly what is enough character coverage and what's not. 

I wonder what Greedo's minifigure per seconds of screen time ratio would be... I reckon, it's like ten seconds.

It reminds me of this terrible money per hour measurement for certain entertainment media. Seeing it again on a Lego forum wasn't on my personal bingo card. 

Yeah, that's my point. He has been incredibly inaccessible as of late.

And what timeframe would you consider someone as being "new to the hobby"? If you are not @BrickBob Studpants, chances are you are not collecting this theme since 1999. Plus pretty much everyone has their dark ages sooner or later. New generations getting into Lego as well. That's why a steady supply of certain characters (just like sets) can work wonders. And this is clearly not the case in here. 

No, but since you were basically asking for this, we will get into an extented Lego Lando history lesson: 

The first Bespin Lando was released in a $100 set in 2003. At the time, this was pretty expensive. And we certainly don't need to talk about after market prices. Then just a short 15 years later, we got the one and only modern rendition of the Cloud City Lando, arguably his most iconic look. In a $350 set... also expensive in 2018. It already retired at the end of the following year and that's that. The 2019 anniversary figure is obviously a callback to the classic minifigure. So, the point still stands, as of today, the most desirable version of Lando was never made available in an affordable play scale set. That's the definition of inaccessible. It's an unnecessary rarity. 

The rest fares addmittably better than this... though still not great. The two Skiff Guard Landos came out in 2006 and 2012, respectively... which is alright. However the third one took until last year. Not much consistency going on there. General Lando released in 2009 and 2017. Nothing since then. Wouldn't describe that as recent. But at least those figures came in regular sets. 

Even if i abondon my one by one approach for individual versions and throw all those figs together, his ongoing presence on store shelves is still rather limited.

I’m in the same boat as you, wonder if the rumors of the Mandolorian vs orange 501st is true maybe they’ll through in a pauldron or two to make it similar for Rex.
