Obi-Wan is definitely one of the best minifigures of the theme this year. Love the new sassy / bemusement at Anakin’s weekly war crime faceprint too.

Shame we’ll have to wait until next year (at a minimum) to get a Clone Wars Anakin with a similar level of detail, but I hope he’s on the cards. I personally would have preferred to get that version this year over his later Clone Wars look that we got with Ahsoka’s Eta-2 (even if the inclusion of the latter obviously makes more sense).

Fingers crossed we get official images of the summer wave over the next week. Lego sure love taking their time with reveals.

Not to be pedantic twice in one page, but ,actually, that face print isn't new. It was used in the AotC Starfighter, it does capture that expression well though.

Not the same- the starfighter figure has a raised eyebrow and is more confused rather than angry. This new one looks pretty close to the one from the Kenobi series, just with a few less wrinkles.

Yep, this facial expression is clearly a reference to Obi Wan's visit on Kamino. More specifically, the "visible confusion" meme which happened during his chat with Lama Su. I don't know why so many people generally seem to say "angry", when it really isn't. Almost like it has to be "angry", if it isn't the most obvious happy face in the Lego world. :oh3:

Oh... Now I look silly, but it is very similar.

I thought it was the same as well at first. Plus the AotC figure would have the headset printed on which wouldn’t work for the standalone TCW figure.

Fingers crossed we get reliable 2026 set news regarding a Tie Avenger over the next week. (Day #57)



Some YouTube channel named Drew Bricks is claiming to have seen rumours about a Y-Wing and Imperial tank that isn’t the AT AT next year. They’re most likely fake but it’s annoying that it actually sounds like a good duo of sets.

Ko-to-yah dear Eurobricks enthusiasts out there. :sweet:

Where are you, Plo Koon? You're here! You're not suddenly getting blasted to bits over Cato Neimoidia with next to no chances of survival. You're here! You're right here, and you're ready to fight! :grin:

What a magnificent minifigure all around. I knew the dual moulded head is an incredibly impressive improvement over the last one, but yeah... Actually seeing and feeling it in person is always another thing. Only owning the original version as well would have made the upgrade even more visible to me. Oh boy, do i love it when Lego just works and reminds you of simpler times. After more than a quarter century, they just delivered one of the best looking Jedi minifigs ever. And i could not be much happier right now. :wub:

Plo Koon is the fuel. He’s the thing that explodes when there’s too many ARC 170s in the air.

 

Day #58 of Tie Avenger campaign.

 

Death Star leaks when?

Eh, other than using it for specialized minifigures for the occasion, i don't really see the appeal.

Ha, that's kinda dark. It's like these postings are gonna write themselves, right? 

Hopefully before Lego officially reveals the August wave... which could still be a few weeks away.  

 

Two more things i want to see more of after Plo's Microfighter. First, i hope this set opens the door to give us more desirable minifigures that also haven't been made for quite a long time. Second, the hard plastic dual mould for his head and mask might be a good indicator for replacing other characters rubbery faces in the future. Looking at you, Kit Fisto.

It's just a nostalgia thing for me, I think the old faces had a simplistic charm to them. It would definitely look out of place on modern minifigures though.

 

I'm glad you got the Plo Koon Microfighter, I think its the best Microfighter we've ever gotten.

Yeah, that's what i thought. The super simplistic faces were a great fit when the figures had very sparse printing as well. But nowadays they would just clash with the much more detailed quality standard. Lego may do more replica figures like they did for the 20th anniversary or something. Though i would rather they repeat the 25th anniversary and give us brand new characters. 

I actually think so as well. It's impressive how well Lego nailed the shape of the ship, given such a small scale. I also like the part usage of blue lightsabers for the engines. Just a pity they didn't add the droid's body. But other than that, this is basically the perfect Microfighter.

Y-wing's long overdue a new system-scaled set, too... it'll have been 7 years since the last one in 2026, and a full decade since the last system-scaled rebel one. I won't allow myself to think it's possible though, especially with what other rumors are out there for 2026.

The tank would assumably be us finally getting an ITT, or maybe a new occupier, which would both be good options if this was real. And it's the 10 year anniversary of Rogue One, and they've been doing at least something for most anniversaries... no. There's no way that if the 1HY list is in any way true that 2HY includes a rebel Y-wing and either of those imperial vehicles...

Did you get a solid discount on it or give in? Either way for a set that small it's not the worst thing in the world to get it for the fig, even if you paid retail.

It is a very nice figure from what I've seen.

I use this quote to complain that we didn't had a B-Wing for ages 😄. But I also feel that this great ship (for me) don't get much love from the franchise in general. Besides Return of the Yedi we also had a B-Wing in Rebels (I guess) which was a long time ago and had a glimbse of it in TRoS. And that's it.

Ko-to-yah, Mandalorian Man. 

I've aimed for twelve bucks and ended up getting it it for eleven (27% off), which given the value is a good deal. I like to see it as the old Microfighter price point plus a little extra for the awesome head mould. 

Oh yeah, it's every bit as good as i imagined it would be. As i said, very happy with it. Personally giving strong Lego Star Wars minifigure of the year vibes. Though the upcoming TCW Obi-Wan might be tough to beat. 

 

Now the maker knows how long it's actually gonna be until my next 2025 set. Still have a couple 2024 sets to get before they retire.

This is true and we're overdue for a B-wing as well, but to be fair (and as you point out), it's not the most well-known or prominent ship. The Y-wing's been around since day one both in terms of being in ANH and the first year of the theme, which is part of why it's so surprising to me it's been so long since the last normal sized one.

$11 is not bad at all. 

 

I've got a $25 amazon gift card and I think it's a sad comment on the state of the theme that when I plug "lego star wars" and "Under $25" into amazon's engine, the results I get are some above-retail microfighters, the 4+ mando set, the luke mech, and only 6 "normal" sets, which are:

FOUR CLONE BATTLE PACKS

Obi Wan's delta (either they made a ton of this set or they're having a lot of trouble moving it)

The mando vs imperial battle pack.

 

And yet the battle pack next year is mandos vs clones. Also, none of the june wave is on amazon?  What's up with that? I was going to use the card to get the night trooper BP but it's not on the site.

I can not agree more on this. It feels so strange, because it's not been that long ago since i praised Lego Star Wars for their range of smaller solid sets. To witness this steady decline in favor of all these adults oriented products and additional formats, is a sad state indeed. Microfighters and Battle Packs are more expensive than they ever been, the latter severely lacking in variety. You get those miserable Mechs, heavily overpriced 4+ sets and Jedi Starfighters. And that's basically it. The absence of any Duel sets left a void that Lego should fill in again as soon as possible. And where is your typical (so not overpriced beyond belief) release in the 40s price range? By today's standards, it almost feels like true system scale sets sort of start at ~60 bucks. 

I think Obi-Wans Delta-7 is an outlier and keeps on selling really well. Like it doesn't seem like a set whose sales Lego would have overestimated and thus didn't overproduce it. They may have decided to extented it's shelve life to compliment the upcoming Jango's Slave 1 release.

Only if the leaks are true, which they more likely are not. Please don't... i just can't do this anymore. :head_back:

I really start to hate Lego Star Wars. The least thing they could do is a rebrand: Lego Buildable Character Clone Wars.

For the mental wellbeing of mankind it would have been better if clones never existed in Star Wars. Just sayin' :pir-laugh:

At this point I am not exited at all to learn about next year's sets. The only question is how much of a horror it will be: big horror or bigger horror.

Sorry for this rant, but what the heck is going on with Lego Star Wars?!?

With Ahsoka S2 and Mando film coming next year I’d say some of the rumors aren’t completely out of the question. 

the Ywing for example could be a new republic one for either Ahsoka or Mando. Think next year there will be a lot more OT stuff that’s people will like but probably having the twist of it being based off Ahsoka and Mando film. 

im not going to entertain any of these rumors until someone more reliable chips in, or until later in the year. But I’m optimistic for 2026 as I am looking forward to Ahsoka and Mando

It was heavily marketed before the release of Andor. Lego loves a TIE and I think after the end of the year we won’t have one on the shelves?

Mando S1 only had what two sets? Compared to the rest of the series it didn’t have the greatest coverage but then that’s also because season 1, Lego and Disney weren’t sure how well a live action SW would go down. Especially as at the time the sequels hadn’t gone down well and people were moaning about franchise fatigue. 

it is mostly one guys daily campaign for the avenger but I think we’d all love one really

Exactly.

See part of me thinks that's the case, but the other part of me thinks it started out doing well, they extended production, and accidentally overcorrected and made too many for the remaining sales. I bought it on discount over a year ago (which was still about a year into it's lifespan, I think), and then picked up a second one because that triple pack of clone wars sets was just too much plastic to pass up for $50.

I just don't understand how we ended up in a timeline where 2/3rds of availible sub-$25 star wars sets on amazon are clone battle packs

To be fair to lego, most of those would be over $25, but still. It's just too many clone BPs

It's not so much that anyone THINKS we're getting one as one man hoping very badly we get one against all odds. I think even @CloneCommando99 knows it's pretty unlikely.
