And of course people online are already spitballing ridiculous ideas  It’s a GWP, so the best we can hope for is like one or two new prints.

As long as it’s not more damn Clones, I’ll be happy

Mine was more an (ridiculous) example of a GWP where I could say: Yup, don‘t need it. 😁

Take this with a grain of salt, but one of the leakers on the Brick Tap Discord server now thinks the UT-AT might actually be a TX-130 instead  What does that vehicle have to do with Galactic Marines? And how is that supposed to be a $150 set when the last three versions were 50, 25, and 40 bucks respectively?!

I swear, the August wave gets worse every time we hear new rumours 

Nooo I will actually cry if this is true.

Sounds crazy but the UT-AT has been one of my favourite vehicles for years, and I was in the process of designing a MOC of one which I put on hold when the set got rumoured (putting my time into an AT-OT instead).

Well. The UT AT only showed up for 2 seconds before it exploded in ROTS. The TX-130 on the other hand featured heavily in Battlefront II and  also has precedence to sell well.

Those seconds being in one of the most iconic sequences of the movie, and Ki-Adi's being one of the most memorable Order 66 deaths partly due to that explosion. 

The last TX-130 was a pretty bad set carried by the minifigures. And I'd argue that among the LEGO SW community its main source of people knowing about it is the 3 times they've made it before, moreso than its Battlefront appearances. 

The Galactic Marines are way more iconic than the 187th, so I could definitely see them carrying the sales of a more expensive set, and hopefully the build for a UT-AT would be better than the last tank anyway so it wouldn't need so much carrying.

Price points have been mixed up in the past (2022 AT TE and Scythe Shuttle). And let’s not forget the ISD debacle. So it’s unlikely but not entirely impossible.

My point was moreso that if it's a TX-130 at $150, it would be a DC level mistake in that I don't think we've ever had a playset that upscaled before. Usually it's just stuff like BARCS and AT-RTs brought up ~100 pcs, this would be brought up like ~500 pcs.

Although if it's at the wrong price point like the AT-TE and Scythe, what is it swapping with? The Turbo Tank would make sense but we've already heard about that set's figure list, and there's no way a $150 playset comes with three minifigures.

6 hours ago, BrickBob Studpants said:

Yeah, I miss those as well. They were discontinued altogether, not just the SW ones

I wonder if they already had disappointing sales data for those packs before the star wars ones, and the star wars ones were an attempt to keep it alive.

Interesting. I can't imagine there's many new prints, so my guess for now is that it is indeed clone-related.

The Galactic Marines are way more iconic than the 187th

Nobody who isn't DEEP into the lore knows what either the UT-AT or galactic marines are. I'm not saying they shouldn't be made, but they're pretty obscure.

And this is splitting hairs. It's like saying more people know Wedge Antilles than Hobbie Klivian when to most people buying the set it's "rebel pilot". Sure, there might be a few people out there who know Wedge but not Hobbie, but it's not a set-carrying number of people who'd be interested in one but not the other. (Which I say as a big Wedge Antilles fan.)

For me since watching as a kid I’ve wanted them and then when original battlefront 2 came out wanted them more. I always thought they were just Clone snow troopers and that was enough for me. Even now that’s what I think of them as and I don’t care. I’m just glad they are doing them after all this time of wanting them

Having watched Episode 3 is "being deep into the lore" now? If something is in a main saga movie (and not just in the far background), I don't think it can be called obscure.

They're barely in it and not called out by name.

You can use that excuse for any Glup Shitto.

It was in a montage of Jedi deaths. Most people walk away from that sequence with the thought “Oh wow, all those Jedi died, how sad,” as was the director’s intention. It took someone online discussing the UT-AT for my eyes to be drawn to it in the film. Of course, we diehards will watch each film 500 times to see all the wonderful set dressing, but that’s not everyone; at least not enough to prove a set successful in the eyes of a billion-dollar company. Maybe it will sell amazingly well, but I doubt it. Yes, I think I know better than the big corporation who threw out there the Justifer, the $350 Black Panther bust, and Dreamzzz.

True. Again, most people watching the movie take each character as “Rebel pilot,” for that was the filmmaker’s intention. It’s no different with the different clone legions; we as fans invest ourselves into a random character or thing in Star Wars, sometimes simply “just because”. (Wedge is a true hero, though, not to dismiss your favourite character.)

This is SW we’re talking about, which operates on a completely different scale of obscurity, compared to other franchises  If characters we clearly see on screen can already be classified as obscure, what do we do with characters that appear in one scene of a show? Or in one single comic issue? Or ones that are only mentioned once in a book?  There are tiers to this, with large ranges…

I mean, we get large-scale models of ships that would NEVER be released as regular sets in a million years, if they were featured in any other franchise. The only one that gets close is HP, but probably because they run out of things to do otherwise

[NoOneOfImportance]

Just to note, a TX-130 isn't a Republic Fighter Tank like so many people are calling it. I think the TX-130 is the giant never-made cannons from the Zillo Beast... 

[joebiwankenobi]

A TX-130 is the Republic Fighter Tank. It's the saber tank and has had that designation since it first appeared in the 2002 Clone Wars game back on the old PS2/Xbox/Gamecube days. 

I think we should all just sit back and let the rumors cook a little more. We're in the weird period where all sorts of things get claimed. Not too far off from getting photos of things for the summer I imagine. Best to wait for those.

Apologizes. I was sent a picture of one of the Zillo cannons alongside the speculation of a TX130, so I mixed them up. You are correct.

I have nothing against them- I think they're actually pretty cool and if it was a battle pack I'd pick one up- I'm just saying this isn't the 501st here, and this isn't 2020 when we were starved for clone minifigs. These guys aren't set carrying, which was the claim I was disputing.

By this logic, a list of non-obscure characters would include the likes of Shu Mai, the aforementioned Hobbie Kilvian, that little gremlin from TLJ that thinks BB-8 is a coin machine, etc. Don't tell me those characters aren't obscure. Appearing in the movie for literally a few doesn't make a set carrying figure, which is my point. I like the galactic marines I'm glad they're getting a set, even if I think that a $150 UT-AT might be a bit overkill with the amount of clones coming this year. But yeah, they're kinda obscure. I doubt most people would put them in the 5 most iconic clone legions, and even then we've narrowed the search to "people who can name 5 clone legions", when a lot of fans would probably not get farther than 501st and 212th, or just "Anakin's blue ones and Obi-Wan's orange ones".

No commander Doom and his clone legion (the legion of doom?) are gonna be the next marvel battle pack set with the justification that it's a multiversal variant of an avengers doomsday set.

No yeah I completely agree, wedge was an investment into a minor character. I like him because he's the only background character to make it through the entire OT, he's the "normal guy" that never got the spotlight but survived all the major events.

Sure, I don't disagree with any of that, my point is it's not accurate to claim the Galactic Marines are some sort of iconic set carrying thing whereas the 187th are some sort of drag on their set. It's the Wedge/Hobbie analogy I made.

I know you already figured out the RFT is the TX-130 but man a SPHA-T would go hard, and it's not any more obscure than the UT-AT (Arguably it's more well known since aside from being a movie for 2 seconds like the UT-AT, it was in both clone wars a bit.)

Fair enough. Depends on what the pics reveal and how good the set and figs look. Am I right in thinking they tried releasing one before and it got cancelled? But I agree that BP would have been a better option. If anything they should be the BP this summer and the Blys clones should be an AT-OT which again like the UT-AT doesn’t have much screen time but probably a bit more recognisable as we’ve already had one years ago. 

also I’m probably that guy that thinks of clones that way. Blue ones killed the Jedi, Orange ones shot Kenobi, the Green ones are clone scout troopers, the clone snow troopers and the red ones couldn’t find Yoda.
 

I’ve never cared about the legions or their names they just looked cool, which probably makes me the sucker for SW marketing lol. 

also after this year I am done with Clones

I guess I'm looking at this from the perspective of someone who watched RotS aged ~10 and immediately googled "order 66 snow clones" (or some variation of that), then took a red sharpie to his 8084 Snowtroopers. They've been one of my favourite Clone designs for a looong time lol

Sure- and the obscurity of the legion doesn't really impact the quality of the set. (Though at $150 and 830 pieces, I wouldn't get my hopes up there) I was just responding to someone who was implying they were iconic enough to carry a $150 set, which I feel really is not the case.

The AT-OT is a good point with the fact that merch really can help recognizability. I think someone brought up the TX-130, which I think at this point despite not being in any movies or cartoons is more well known than something like the AT-UT- and that's almost entirely due to lego having made three of them. 

Yellow ones shot Secura approximately as many times as Ceaser was stabbed, maroon ones committed vehicular manslaughter, grey ones work with Dave Filoni, etc.

I again am not saying that they're bad or don't deserve a set, I was just replying to someone who implied they were iconic to such a level that they'd be carrying a $150 set. 

I like em too, although my favorites are the 327th and 212th- but everyone's got their favorite legion, and in a time where we get 2-3 legions a year, I just don't think it's accurate to say one that, yes, is fairly obscure would be "carrying" a $150 set.

[Llewop]

Whether we like it or not don’t think anyone would have ever predicted the kind of sets we are going to get or have just had over the past few years. The meme wave, getting Jedi bob, Rex in a UCS and then in the cheapest set possible within a year. Buildable droids after more buildable droids. You can only wonder what they’ll do next year but the theme has changed and obviously Lego must be raking in the money otherwise they would be releasing different sets 

[Lego Nostalgia]

What's with all the Clone hate ? I get that we're getting sick of them but is it bad that some just want the other Legions that matter and aren't unknown like (Wolfpack,Kashyyyk, Commandos) I really hope the UT-AT is true, not because I want the vehicle but because I want those cool Galactic Marines, look at it this way, if they won't be made this year, we may never get a chance to get them again, a year wait for some Imperial sets won't hurt yall I'm sure

We were starving for clones until 2020 but that still didn't fill the void, it was only last year we got updated plain P2's and Shock Troopers, I am sick of the 501st and 332nd so all I want is Kashyyyk and Wolfpack to end it all

We also need more Separatist stuff, I've got more Clone vehicles that the Droid army is out numbered, all I have are 9 Tri Droids, 2 AAT's and 2 Droid transporter GWPs

I do agree that there is no need for Glup Shitto type legions

An Imperial BP with Shadow Trooper ,Scout Trooper and Stormtroopers would be nice, maybe some normal Deathtroopers, 2008-2016 were the times we got those, now not so much

Those family guy helmets hurt my eyes, the old helmet was perfect and still holds up today

Yeah the helmets are making me pretty much completely disinterested in any battle packs featuring Stormtroopers in the near future. 

While it's a baffling decision on LEGO's part to make the Night Trooper pack's ratio of Death:Storm troopers 2:2 instead of 1:3 from the perspective of most army builders (and even just for kids who would maybe want 2 of the set for a decent squad of troops), from a selfish perspective I'm kinda happy as I can get the 2 actually (hopefully) good-looking Death Troopers and only have 2 figures to go in the memory hole drawer instead of 3.

I'd be happy with a pack with some other specialists (Shoretroopers, Rangetroopers etc., basically anything that doesn't use the Stormie helmet mould, also Army Troopers).

I mean the Night Troopers aren't a big army, maybe it's like 100 of em or so, but I guess Thrawn has a plan to bring back more dead troopers to life from those coffins at the end of the show, but there was only 2 Death Troopers there so I agree 1 would have been enough, but they are cool though, glad to finally get them, I'm guessing the Night Troopers will be the same as the one in the Peridia set, wish we got one with the grey part on the bottom of the helmet for more variation 

Reminds me of that goated rogue one BP with 2 Stormies and 2 Death Troopers, now that was the best Imperial BP of all time besides the 2008 dropship BP

I'm annoyed that my Mortar Trooper has black hips and a different torso and leg print compared to the all white Stormtroopers now, that's the problem, they aren't all consistent, wish Lego just settled on one design and left it there, wish we could have seen them continue the Rogue One style Stormies, I'm sad we don't have an Incinerator Trooper

[CloneCommando99]

I think I spotted an ITT in the Andor S2 Trailer. (Vehicle that gets blown up on a road by the Tie Avenger)

 

It’s crazy that it’s never gotten a set (bar the undersized Battlepack) seeing as its now featured in Andor, The Mandalorian, Rebels, JFO, Outlaws…

Same goes for other faction military vehicles which have had loads of screen time in various media such as: Imperial Patrol Gunship, Rho Class shuttle, Tie Reaper, Separatist Shuttle (the long one), any non-Red rebel X-Wings, etc….

The Rebels Stormies were weird looking to me, just the style from the show

It's not hate per se, but almost every single playset this year is either clones specifically or clone wars, to the extent that we aren't getting a single OT set. Even when the sequels were coming out I think there was always at least ONE PT playset every year, not to mention that it wasn't like all the other sets in whatever year were based on one era/faction.

Aside from being disappointed that lego isn't putting out a single playset for what's pretty much unequivocally the most iconic part of the universe, I also think it's bad for clones in the long run- and I do like clones and collect them, so that also disappoints me. Loading a year up with this many clones, especially when we're already in a relatively clone-saturated period and the most iconic clones and legions have already been released just doesn't seem like it'll do all that well to me. If this was 2020 or 2021 and this was our big clone comeback, I think it'd have done great. But they get diminishing returns with these. Around me the clone battle packs have already started hitting sales. And I think at this point, especially with those packs- many of them on sale- still on shelves, stuff like the 327th pack isn't gonna do very well.

To be honest the reason they're on sale lots is because they are overpriced and they are over produced, it was always hard to get the 501st BP online back in 2020 but that was because of Covid

Another thing too is that we kept getting OT sets for years and years and we barely got Clone stuff after 2014, I feel like these past waves is to make up for that and fill the void, I think after January 2026 they should stop with the Clones, I just need Kashyyyk and Wolfpack then that's it, I'm so happy we got the 501st, 212th, Plain P2's and Coruscant Guards and that would have been enough tbh but it's nice to get the 327th IMO, I think that's the last one we should need besides an updated Kashyyyk one

I remember when the only option there was for a plain P2 was in that microfighter and he went for like 20 or more $ on Bricklink, say what you want about too much Clones but I feel it was a good thing in a way, they made them more accessible to people and more choice, the only thing really now is Phase 1 Cody and Rex and plain P1's and if they do that, don't make any more for 10 years

Still wish we got a Mustafar diorama this year, Lego are really stupid that they decided to cancel the theme due to it not selling well, it's their fault, they chose some of the worst choices for a Diorama and charged too high for them, The Trash Compactor and the Pod Race one were the worst, really bothers me that we didn't get Duel of the fates one

But hey, Lego Star Wars is in better shape than Lego Marvel who can't even get new moulds/figures/prints in much sets, and DC can't even get Robin

Interesting! I don't follow Marvel or DC so this was news for me.

I tend to compare Star Wars to Harry Potter, which does yield new molds and prints in rich quantities.

Ninjago and other in-house themes then make me just jealous and maybe even a bit sad, because they show the potential which will probably never materialize in Star Wars.

At least Speed Champions deliver us excellent new curved slopes and other fantastic pieces for the tricky curvatures of Star Wars ships to increase the possibilites of MOC building.
