Mandalorianknight Posted July 10 Posted July 10 4 hours ago, Agent Kallus said: What else was on that list? If they can go back to TBoBF, can they please go back the Accolyte. Aside from what you mentioned, a midi-scale Venator (a year after the acclamator) and a Vader Bust, because the star wars designers keep peeking at marvel's subthemes for their next gimmick line. There are more out there as well, and trust me, what we do know is the highlight of the HY. No. The quality aside, I assume lego's returning to TBoBF because no matter what people think of his characterization, it's still a Boba Fett tv show, it's still Cad Bane, it's still a time-travelling Cobb Vanth somehow wearing boba's armor, if the leak is to be believed. You can think there were issues with the show and still want Cad and Cobb, or kids can not have liked the show but not even care about it being FROM a show and just want Cad and the guy in Boba Fett armor. The best you can say about acolyte in that regard is that kids would see generic jedi/sith archtypes, which... lightsaber users aren't exactly as rare as Cad. The Young Jedi sets have them and also are constantly on gigantic discounts (which might be the best way for you to get some HR torsos- I think most of the figures wear generic-ish white and gold robes, right?) 4 hours ago, BrickPrick said: I still got my fair share of his hints and should know better in this regard for sure. But i'm still just at a point where i basically don't allow myself to fully believe or even expect it. Hence why i cautiously optimistic wanna bet on it. Well, here's hoping there wasn't any blue milk involved this time around. Oh baby... So you are telling me there is more than a chance? I actually thought this minifigure will never see the light of day. This would be super special to me. Okay, that's an interesting take. Though i have that stance the other way around. I can't stand the printed kamas, but i don't mind the printed robes at all. Let's say you remembered the major stuff. The rest was supposed to be a Vader Bust and midi-scale Venator. I would be very surprised if the lego Cad hint didn't pan out. You can rest easy knowing he'll almost certainly be in an affordable (for lego 2025 standards) set next year. Agreed- the printed robes work because it's difficult to convey with existing cloth (Lego tends to use a cape, which just doesn't work IMO), whereas the kama is pretty easy to convey with the pattern lego used. Not to mention that "the best would be dual-molded side leg printed kamas" might work in a vacuum but will never happen on every lego figure that needs a kama, in which case I prefer the consistency. If the better method only works in theory and not practice, it's not the better method. Understandable ones to forget. Quote

So it was mandolorians vs clone bp AT-AT razor crest vader bust midi venator from the set number and price leak the venator and Vader are the 2 18+ sets. The AT-AT and Razor Crest will take two of the sets that are priced at 70, 100 or 80. there’s a 30 which I’m guessing is the cad bane duel. it just leaves us with a biggish system set unaccounted for, a 4+ set and then a $10 and $14 sets which I’m guessing one is a micro fighter that hasn’t had anything concrete yet rumor wise. Unless the whole list of rumoured sets is wrong of course. if it is true that list then the prices for the AT-AT and razor crest aren’t worrying without details but definitely going to be small. Both previous versions of those vehicles were more expensive and pretty good so I’m guessing these two will have to have a pretty bloody good figure line up to even try to justify it. The razor crest is probs the one with Zeb in it. Decided to pick up the uwing as it was 20% off in the U.K. figured that’s probably as good a deal as we are going to get on it for a while. Lot of the May wave already on offer as well wondering if they haven’t sold well to be on offer so soon? In Asda the LoTR book book is already got over £20 off. im hoping that this summer wave will be on heavy discounts when they release. Its hard to tell with algorithms but from what ive seen on ig, tiktok, fb and Reddit and here is more people are unhappy and not buying on day 1 but time will tell Quote
TotoMagnus Posted July 10 Posted July 10 Are we a 100% sure that a potential Cad vs Cobb would be released under a BOBF banner? Are there any rumors of Timothy Olyphant returning for the movie? The words „flashback“ or „rematch“ come to mind, since to be honest: The „end“ of Cad always felt more like a „lets store him in our closet and see if we can use him later“ kinda thing to me, rather than a final one. After all, it’s Filoni we are talking about… Quote
BrickPrick Posted July 10 Posted July 10 7 hours ago, BrickBob Studpants said: Same! Them going back to TBoBF is pretty huge, even if it‘s just for this set I still want more characters from the Mando era to get the minifig treatment (fingers crossed for the M&G sets!), but these two are big names to scratch off the list of missing characters / versions! Yeah, i mean Lego is releasing desirable minifigures left and right the past few years, but getting Skywalker Saga figs just hits different compared to Disney era Star Wars stuff. Getting obscure characters or even some glaring omissions for the former can seemingly happen anytime nowadays... you kinda expect them at this point. But for the latter, since nearly every property gets shoved to the side beyond the initial wave(s) and kinda takes a backseat to Mando, you can't be that certain... it feels less likely and not as predictable. Although we did receive the TROS Palpatine and Babu Frik after all these years. So yeah, you can't rule out anything unless Lego explicitly tells us it will never happen. Which is obviously not how they operate. All i wanna say is... Possibly getting a TBOBF Cad Bane in 2026 surprises me much more than getting a Lama Su in 2025. 5 hours ago, Mandalorianknight said: I would be very surprised if the lego Cad hint didn't pan out.

Yep, that's the difference between printed robes and kamas. I like that the former further distinguishes otherwise generic looking Jedi minifigures being decades in the making. Oh, i think the best approach could or would work on both paper and in practice. But that's obviously not going to happen on Lego's behalf, so it's just back to theory, i guess. And for me understandable ones to ignore. A freaking Bust of all things... More system scale sets or bust! 2 hours ago, TotoMagnus said: Are we a 100% sure that a potential Cad vs Cobb would be released under a BOBF banner? We are not. I think the sub-theme for this set will depend on the actual release date. If the leaks indeed just cover the January wave, it has to be based on Book of Boba Fett. Because if it's based on a scene for the new Mando movie, it would be too soon getting into spoiler territory. Quote

Tops off a random day, the king came to my town, saw his chopper take off. Then found the Jyn Erso and Finn buildable figures in a local toy store still at full price. They had like 10 of them feel sorry for the owner he really took a hit on that one. I was always going to get it! Just waiting for the right price. Praying the ISB figure randomly appears in the magazine at some point or even a K2S0 what a win that would be A few 2026 set name reveals for other themes including another disappointing CMF series, but I’m guessing if the rumours are true we will probably get official titles for the January wave soon.

Coryo Posted July 10 Posted July 10 I think the Cad Bane set may be a bit larger than the previous 2-person duel sets, since the only build I could imagine it would include is the Mos Pelgo saloon. Maybe it includes a third figure like the deputy or the Weequay bartender. Including Cobb Vanth in Boba's armour would be fairly annoying though, especially if that's the only version of the character they ever make. 3 hours ago, Llewop said: Tops off a random day, the king came to my town, saw his chopper take off.

I do feel like this movie will struggle with the general audience regardless, considering most people associate these characters and the New Republic/Imperial Remnant conflict with Disney Plus, as well as the inclusion of Filoni's Clone Wars/Rebels characters like Spoiler Zeb, Rotta the Hutt, and Embo in potentially main roles.

icm Posted July 11 Posted July 11 Seeing AustrianBrickFan's speed build of the Force Burner snowspeeder, I do think that the new windscreen and the tweaks to the nose and the front tips of the wings really do go a long way towards making the ship look a lot more like an authentic T-47 than the older models, even though the basic wing build remains the same. The nose underside is still steep and tubby, so I hope they change those up for the next ESB snowspeeder. Quote

Just like I'd assume an ESB speeder to not include the A-wing wings. Lego's had a lot of missteps this wave, but I do trust them to take what works from the new snowspeeder without taking the more "force burnery" elements. 2 hours ago, Nobricksleft said: Not before we get L3-37 please! It is funny that lego's now had two projects where they omitted the droid main character.

BrickPrick Posted July 12 Posted July 12 In my restless dreams... i see the minifigure line-up from the UCS Death Star that i will never get. Actually, can you guys get genuinely excited about sets you know you won't be buying? I know, i can. Still wanna see how a $1000 Lego Star Wars set looks like in 2025 with all it's bells and whistles. Always a good time to speculate about certain things, experience various leak phases and hear other people's thoughts on this. Quote

Rivendell is probably the most beautiful (feels like a weird description of a lego set, but I think it's accurate) set I've ever seen and I'll probably never own it. They're reissuing the ARC-170 with a different windscreen color. It's always funny to me that whenever they decide to do the "only the best is good enough" on a star wars set it's for something nobody was complaining about. I'm going to need someone to put one in each of Finch Dallow's hands and upload the picture here. Quote

JohnTPT17 Posted Sunday at 02:26 AM Posted Sunday at 02:26 AM We've got a few more details from @Renown over on the news thread about the January 2025 sets. In response to a (trimmed) comment made by @Classic_Spaceman: Quote If we assume the Cobb Vanth vs. Cad Bane rumour is true, I would bet on it being 75437 ($30, 7+) - The price makes sense for a set with two (new) Minifigs, and the age range tracks with other playsets (e.g. Paz vs. Moff Gideon). I would only expect two Minifigs (or maybe three, if one is reused from another set), considering that the Paz vs. Moff set has three unique (four total) ‘figs for $40. Renown said: Quote 75448 [$15] is a mech with one figure and 75449 [$20] is a battle pack. Your assessment of 75437 and its composition is spot on. I, for one, am quite excited for that Cobb vs. Cad set! Cad alone goes for nearly $30 on Bricklink, so this basically gives a bonus Cobb and some kind of small build with it. I'll keep my eye out for it for sure. Quote
