Gingerbread Vader just looks like he’s been applying too much fake tan. But the icing detail is pretty cool

An OT Falcon in 2027 for the 50th anniversary of A New Hope would make a lot of sense, I imagine it would end up having a shelf life at least as long as the EP IX version.

Yes, i just hope for a solid system scale set again. Another UCS one would be no good to me. 

 

Unsurprisingly, rumor has it the new UCS AT-ST measurements are all supposed to be smaller (especially in depth) compared to the the last model. As a result, it will probably be a much more sturdy and better looking build, though. 

And as many of us already assumed, the new August sets should be officially revealed very soon.

Interesting. A 37 cm height puts it at a scale of 1:24, which is at the very upper end of minifig scale. Speed Champions sets are about 1:25, so the UCS AT-ST is perfectly scaled to step on your Speed Champions Formula 1 grid and make havoc. It's still quite a bit larger than the preferred 1:35 scale for minifig scale military aircraft builders, my preferred 1:38 for 1 stud = 1 foot, the 1:44 used by Sluban for their minifig scale military aircraft, or the 1:48 which is the very lowest end I've seen treated as minifig scale in AFOL builds.

I think the only Clone type sets needed are a normal Republic Gunship and something with Commander Wolffe and updated Kashyyyk troopers, then I will be happy for Clones to be retired for 5 years

But I am thankful that we got the Galactic Marines and Bly, we'll probably never get them again

A Mustafar or Palpatine's Arrest Diorama would have been nice, oh well, a D2C Coruscant would be cool, we really need more location type sets

See I don't want this either, though, because then kids in those years can't get clones without turning to secondhand sources, which many of them don't know about or aren't allowed to use. I just think the clone content needs to be spaced out more. 

Mustafar and Palpatine's Arrest both would have been day 1 buys from me.

We need more of this, in my opinion. More sets that stick around for longer than the typical UCS set. IMO there should be a falcon, X-wing, and TIE that are produced for at least 5 years or so containing the main OT cast. (Similarly, I think there should be a TFA Poe's X-wing with Rey/Finn/Poe/BB8/Kylo that's kept around. For the prequels I don't think there's any one singular ship that's at that level, but I'd do what they've been doing with the jedi starfighters where there's always either an eta or delta on shelves, and then I'd keep A clone battle pack on shelves at all times, just swapping out which legion/the sidebuild every few years.

That's actually pretty concerning to me. The rumored price- pre any possible US changes- is $200. The last one was $80 in 2006, or about $130 2025 dollars. That's a $70 difference. I get the smaller/more detail tradeoff. I get the more expensive/more detail tradeoff. A 54% post-inflation price increase AND it's smaller- there's no level of detailing that would make that math work out value wise IMO, especially for something like the AT-ST that has fairly large smooth grey segments on it.

Honestly, this is just proof they would better give us a true minifigure scaled (play-able) set, rather than an expensive slightly oversized UCS set... I know which one I would buy: it's not the one that comes in a 'fancy' black box.

I was about to write the same thing . A set shouldn't be downscaled and also way more expensive inflation adjusted.

This set is $200, when the last one was larger and (even AFTER adjusting for inflation) only $130. I don't know where the win you're seeing is here. (Also, I hate to bear even more bad news, but you really think this won't be in a black box?)

Exactly. I've spoken before about how detailing can and should be improved even if it increases set cost, but there's no level of detailing that'll cause a 54% price increase AND downsizing on top of it. Unless this thing is on a big diorama base with the log trap or actually straight up walks, I don't see the value.

Okay, that's actually a huge price gap. And i agree that no matter how you slice it, like how much more detailed the design is or how sturdy the build is... both won‘t cut it. Same goes for the included minifigure. While it might as well be the best AT-ST driver we've ever gotten, i am going out on a limb here and say it won‘t be worth the extra price of admission. Not a UCS person up until this point, so it doesn’t affect me on a personal level. However, i am telling this time and time again. These formatted price points make no sense for some sets. Like having an X-Wing for 240 bucks is fine, but asking the same for a Landspeeder is just ridiculous. There absolutely should be 150_ UCS sets for smaller vehicles, even if many play scale sets exceed this price point. In the case of the AT-ST, i don't feel like charging 200 bucks is too tall of an order by default, but you probably have to deliver more than what they seem to have in store for you.

Great, it will fit perfectly with the UCS Gunship then!

I would like a N-1 star fighter in this price range again.

 

or if they took a UCS AT-AT approach (highly accurate detailed and scaled to minifigures) for a smaller vehicle.  A highly detailed minifigure scale b wing that is UCS quality would be worth that $150 range.

[AD_Bricks]

Looking at the prices for the Jan 2026 sets, the most expensive one is USD$100, so we probably aren't getting the AT-AT or Razor Crest in 1HY. Was that last list that we were sceptical of even for January or just 2026 as a whole??

Also, there's a USD$10 set, which I have to assume is a microfighter, but it'll be the cheapest one in the last few years iirc. Best case scenario, SW is finally doing $10 playsets, but I doubt it.

This feels like most of 1HY- there might be 1 or two missing but I can't imagine this is all really just January, unless they've gotten rid of the march and (besides the UCS) may waves.

It's not impossible the AT-AT and Crest are downsized significantly. I could easily see them being on this list, unfortunately, in which case the gingerbread AT-AT might be a good look at what's coming next year. Lego rarely does $100+ sets in 1HY besides the May UCS, even those $90 and $100 price points are farther than we've seen in awhile for 1HY system sets.

I'd love for this to be the start of a comeback for the theme where we're inundated with a big chunk of system sets in January, but unfortunately I don't think that's the case. I think we're getting a little bump from the mando movie, but I think this is probably most of the 1HY sets in general.

It kind of does reconfirm those leaks. So I’m guessing75440 and 75441 will be the Vader and Venator. 75449 probably is the siege of mandalore bp. Maybe the AT-AT and Razor Crest are really downsized to hit these prices? Looks like we either have a mech or microfichter (or both) as well. Guess the 75437 is the Cobb Vanth set which just leaves the $70 and 4+ set unaccounted for. The $70 is the perfect age range for a TIE Avenger…..

if the leaks do turn out to be fake though. We know we are getting a battlepack of some sorts. 2 18+ sets. A $30 small set and 3 middle of the range sets under $100.

I find it hard to believe they'd drop Micro Fighters back down to $10.

[CloneCommando99]

If I was a hopeful man:
75421: Tie Avenger (DAY #67!!!)
75423: ISB Tactical Shuttle
75436: IDK. It’s been so long since a $10 set that I don’t know what to do anymore.
75437: Mando vs 327th Super BP (I won’t buy it, but at least it’d fit a proper speeder and not waste the BP slot)
75440: MIDI Scale Venator (as per Jedi Bricks)
75441: Vader Bust (as per Jedi Bricks)
75443: Cobb Vanth and Mando speeder Funtime 
75448: Krennic Shuttle Microfighter 
75449: Imperial Army BP
75452: IDK what i’d like but I can practically smell it being a buildable character
30727: Razor Crest polybag.

 

Instead I’m expecting TCW sets galore.

IKR. It’s perfect. But I wouldn’t be surprised if a clone set Cuckoo birdied it.

Not in this day and age. Not when there’s also a $15 set..

Yeah it's rated for age 10+ at $90 which is exactly the same as K-2SO. Would be a shame since it's the 2nd biggest set of the wave. 

75436 at $10 is interesting. Maybe we finally get a small playset in the style of the 76253 Guardians Headquarters or some of the smaller Minecraft sets, for what I think is the first time since Jabba's Prize/Message from 2003.

This is the same as the Falcon to me, i'd like a play scale set again. Even though the last UCS model happened much longer ago than the last system scale one. 

 

Unless Lego scrapped the waves for March/May, this set list looks far too comprehensive to be just for January. Very curious about the $10 set... what could it possibly be? The return to super small sets would be a pipe dream. The sets for 15 and 20 bucks will probably be the Microfighter and Battle Pack, respectively. The $30 set piqued my interest as well. I think the 4+ set will be based on Mando again. Having only two out of ten sets (excluding the Polybag) to be 18+ based, is an somewhat encouraging sign for better balancing things out. Although the 10+ set will definitely be yet another buildable droid. And yes... 75448 could be another Mech instead. 

The new Duros (Solitus) minifigure for the RBTG Force Burner Snowspeeder got leaked... looks kinda sick. The torso and legs will prove useful for other themes. As well as the new Aayla Secura for the upcoming MTT... looks a little better to me than the old one. 

Edited June 30 by BrickPrick

[CallumPears]

Solitus looks good but I'll probably just Bricklink a couple of his head for Cantina aliens- not sure how useful the body would be for the stuff I'm into. 

Aayla looks great but I slightly prefer the 2017 version I think. Lekku look identical, face is new (I prefer the lip colour on the old one) and the torso has less """detail""" as is expected nowadays I guess and doesn't really bother me, just seems silly that they changed it. I like the gold print for the legs as it's more visible than the black on the old one but it's missing some other details (the strings at the side coming off her belt). 

Still can't tell for sure what shade of blue they're using for her as the comparison picture with the 2017 version has different lighting (compare the shades of dark brown on her legs) so it could be any of the azure-esque blue colours. 

Very glad they didn't give her the awful glowy eyes. 

The person who leaked Aayla clearly also has Bly in the background of one of the pictures so hopefully we'll see him today too. We'll finally be able confirm whether his torso print is accurate since it was very hard to make out from the catalogue photo and we couldn't tell what his stripe looked like. 

Edited June 30 by CallumPears

[BrickBob Studpants]

The new Aayla is my favourite version so far and Solitus looks awesome!  I expected him to be a pilot or mechanic to go with the hotrod theme of the set, but this is way better!

[JohnTPT17]

Say what you will about the Rebuild the Galaxy sets, but they produce some really good minifigs! Hopefully I can find him cheap on Bricklink.

I think I prefer the old Aayla to the new one. The tan lips don't look nearly as good, nor are they screen accurate, to the old one's pink lips.

Yeah she falls into the category of modern figures which are good but not quite as good as the old ones. Been happening in Harry Potter and LotR too for quite a few figures (e.g. Legolas was nearly great but they gave up with his face, Frodo has much less detail on his torso than the old one, a lot of HP figures don't have leg print when they did in 2010). The lip colour in particular is a very weird thing to change. 

[Llewop]

CTT pics are out it looks cute. Marines look amazing just on the box art one random marine looks like he’s flying. The first thought that went into my head was “they fly now?” I would have gladly swapped Ki adi out for another marine, or even a B1 for an extra marine but I will wait for a sale or for a good GWP to come before I buy.

The RTG set has an orange saber blade unless I’m going blind. That set looks cool but I’ll pick that up on sale

The Galactic Marines have the wrong knee armor and boots...

[BrickPrick]

I'm sorry everyone. But now that you can take a good look at this thing, i'm inclined to bring back my miserable meme monster one last time. Just skip this one. Nothing to see here. 

Dellow felegates. What? How can you do this? This is outrageous, it's unfair. How can you be a driving factor of your multi-billion economic environment and not be treated like a master costumer? That's... why i'm here. As you and the consumer share a symbiont circle, what happens to one of you, affects the other, you must understand this. 

Though you were right about one thing, beloved Billund billionaire bubble, the negotiations were short. Not just for the men. But the woman and children, too! They are like cash cows to you... and you exploited them like cash cows! Because these adult collector federation types are cowards and Republic credits are no good out here.

You were the chosen company! It was said that you would destroy bad business design decisions, not join them. You were to bring balance to big flagship sets, not leave them in plastic pieces. You were my brother from another mother, Lego. I loved you. But i don't know you anymore! You are breaking my heart. You are going down a path i can't follow. Because of what you've done. What you plan to do. Sounds an awful lot like a dictatorship to me. Well, if it works...

Miserable meme monster over. 

I gotta say, design-wise, it looks better than the initial blurry picture. Will probably be sturdy as hell, too. Being this tiny it kinda has to, right? But ultimately, my mind hasn't changed on this one... Deep, deep discount it is. The downsizing that i typically don't mind at all - on the contrary - even appreciate, has been taken too far on this one. Especially at this price point. 

[Darth_Bane13]

The new CTT is awful, Lego Star Wars was so much better 10 years ago it's not even close. The AT-ST is overpriced as expected, but the build looks good though.
