Except Mando S3 and Ahsoka A) had first waves with more than just one set, and B) the respective follow-up waves focussed on spoilerific content. The TIE Avenger (?) was all over the marketing from the get-go, so any spoiler argument is moot :shrug_oh_well:

That of course doesn‘t mean we‘ll never get it, but I still think that particular train has left the station.

I hope so. But the unfortunate big difference here is that this isn’t a spoiler set. The Mando S3 and Ahsoka ones you’re referring to were.

We can only hope. But the precedent doesn’t bode well.

Lucas damn it Lego!

Was a second Jango’s Slave One really necessary instead of this?!

I find it genuinely frustrating that the Lego Star Wars team look at this stuff and think ‘nah, let’s do more buildable figures instead.’ :wall:
 

The May wave is cool and all, but again only one playscale set. Yaay.

Kylo’s Shuttle should have been January, and then a playscale set replacing that slot for May.

I love the idea of a strong May wave, though. All the sets here are meaty, which is exciting.

It has just come to my attention that Kylo Ren's Shuttle costs 70€ while having 386 pieces.

Seventy euro. Less than four hundred pieces. For a microscale build. With no minifigures. 

This might be a contender for the worst LEGO deal of all time. Genuinely horrific to see this. After it's on clearance in two months, what will LEGO blame the failure of this set on? The Sequels.

I feel like the Turbo Tank is objectively a good choice (iconic vehicle that hasn't been remade in a long time), and as (I think?) @Mandalorianknight pointed out it isn't really fair to blame Lego here since the UT-AT thing was purely rumors, but this is still a bit disappointing to me. I still have the CW one and honestly I just don't feel the need to upgrade, even if this one is substantially better. The Galactic Marines are cool but I barely even knew who they were before the rumors started so I'll probably end up skipping this one, which is a bit of a shame since I was potentially interested before. At this point I'm not sure I'll be getting much from this year, probably the new battle packs (though I'll wait for a discount on the clones) and the U-Wing? Maybe I'm forgetting something else but the rest is either uninteresting or too expensive or both.

The problem with Clone Turbo Tanks is that... Well.... They are very ugly as LEGO builds. I would pass for that reason. Hopefully the new ones looks good.

I think the coverage the avenger has got in both the promo and trailer I think there must be a set coming and I think the only reason it’s coming next year is because there might be a character (imperial) which might be spoilerish. The promo you put up earlier, it’s featured heavily in the trailers and they’ve had the avenger pilots uniform on display (looks like inferno squad) I think it’s a certainty. Isn’t there a $70 dollar set coming in 1HY 2026 which matches the price range of a starfighter in this day and age. 

I think Lego and Disney are going to throw more at Andor mainly because there is nothing else new for them until the Mando movie.

 

Also with the Turbo tank I’m ok with it now, like others had said had that been the original rumour we’d all would have been “ok but random” in the same way the corusant gunship was yay gunship but why not the normal one. I just hope for everyone’s sake Lego doesn’t do anything stupid and decide to design it in a colour unique to the marines. 

for those more in the know, do the marines appear in another armour other than what we saw in RoTS? I’ve wanted the “clone snow troopers” as I’ve always called them since I was a kid and I’d be annoyed if Lego did something only Lego would do and change there appearance randomly. 

I also think it won’t be long til we start seeing some of the August sets. Starting to see some other themes leak for the summer so hopefully we’ll start getting a glimpse soon. I half expect them to unveil the K2S0 at some point during Andors run.

I sincerely hope you’re right on both accounts. Honestly so far I could see one potentially including: Cassian (in Tie Pilot uniform), a stormtrooper or two and a range trooper. Maybe the Commander of that base is important or something or it’s just Krennic stealing yet another Tie-with-better-weapons-and-hyperdrive project’s funding.

I thought they had a normal armour variant. But I did the research and it turns out I was gaslighted by numerous fan arts and video game mods. According to Wookieepedia that’s just the 21st Nova Corps’ standard armour and the Snowtrooper face covering is used to protect the troopers from toxic atmospheres. Which is the type of environment where the marines were deployed apparently.

Actually, i have a feeling that K2S0 might get revealed this weekend at celebration. This is stemming from the fact that Lego.com lists preorders as illegible for qualifying for SW May 4th promos. Which is a curious detail since all the current SW sets available for preorder currently will release in May 1st and therefore qualify for the promos. And the June sets are surely all too cheap to warrant preorders,

I know you already caught the spoiler thing but I just want to take this opportunity to mention that the andor set is marketed more than almost anything else on the planet

I'd be OK with the may wave being all 18+ sets if 18+ sets didn't also take up half the other waves too... at this point I think we're closing in on a majority of the sets being 18+.

Lego really said "let's test the waters for sequel sets with "kylo ren's blob with a mask printed on" and "$0.2 PPP with no figs" aimed at the demo least likely to like the sequels."

There are definitely things the designers can be blamed for- that Kylo Ren helmet is literally just a black helmet with kylo ren's design printed on it- but I don't think the 18+ification is their fault. That reads 100% like lego execs seeing positive results on their "adults welcome" campaign and pushing their luck too far.

 

Speaking of lego not making many sets for the new shows, Skeleton Crew's ship was $56 at walmart without a single copy having sold today. Got two copies and two friends of mine also went and got one and there's still a good amount left.

I am interested in this- I think you're the first person I've seen who was excited for the UT-AT but not the galactic marines. 

Ironically I was in the same situation as you UNTIL this turned out to be a turbo tank, but just because I don't have one yet. Otherwise we're in the same boat.

Well I wouldn't say I wasn't interested in the Galactic Marines per se, it's just that I don't necessarily need another clone legion. I think they have a cool design and I certainly wouldn't mind getting them, but the UT-AT was probably would have been the more exciting element of the set for me had it happened because it's just something different. I already have a turbo tank and a fighter tank and a (red) gunship, so something a little more unique would have been cool. I'm not at all sure I'd have bought it even if it had been a UT-AT, it's more just that it being a remake of something I already have crushed a lot of my interest. A new legion is cool ofc but it's hard to justify buying a $150 set just for that sadly.

I’d say it would be cassian in the outfit shown in the trailer, a tie pilot (in the inferno squad looking outfit) and definitely a range trooper and whatever spoiler character is stopping them from releasing it now.
 

in all the trailers this avenger has been shown almost as much as say Ashoka’s ship and the Ghost had which both got sets. I don’t think I’ve seen a U wing yet in the trailer (might be wrong) but obviously a U wing would sell well because of Rogue1 but for a TIE to be marketed so prominently and I think by 2026 the only other TIE in the shelves will be the RTG one so there is potential, it’s an easy win for Lego to do one. 

im really looking forward to Andor season 2 the way they do the 3 episode arcs kind of makes it feel like we are getting 4 films over 4 weeks telling stories building up to R1. It’s just a shame that obviously we know how it ends. This and the Mando film are the only new projects alongside Jedi fallen order 3 that I’m looking forward to in the near future. If the series gets the viewers and the reviews then I’m sure Lego would invest in doing more sets in 2026/2027. 

Still wondering when Cal Kestis is going to make his live action debut, it’d be amazing if it was in Andor.

So I guess I was right. As the Buildable K2S0 just leaked.

Holy bantha! That’s an ugly waste of a set slot. The head is near chewbacca levels of disturbing (it looks more like SM-33 than K2S0), the shoulders are really thick and out of proportion. The arms’ colour pattern is the inverse of what it should be. The arms are too skinny in way too many areas. I’d argue that the chest is well done though. This should have been a Tie Avenger no question about it.

Black series confirmed that the inferno squad looking pilot is Cassian’s disguise. Not a spoiler cause we see this outfit in trailers and sneak peaks.

Very good points. I sincerely hope you’re right.

Same. It’s been my most hyped SW project since Jedi Survivor released. My hype list is the same as yours just with Zero Company added on.

You know as well as I do that’s not how Andor rolls. I reckon the most we’d possibly get is a Vader appearance to punish certain ISB officers for their failings. No even then that theory is only going off a few frames in the trailers.

Fair enough. Speaking of which, Lego has the audacity to put a child in the building image of K2 S0. What child would want this ugly kriffer? Just admit you’re making these for adults now.

Maybe Lego is playing it save and first realize sets which are connected with Rogue One. And later more sets like the TIE (and Fondor!!!!!!).

Hopefully K2S0 will look better when all pictures are out there because I really wanted to buy the fella but right now the set is too ugly.

Posted

Lego failed with the K2S0 set how can the £20 version from 10 years ago look better than a “premium” product aimed for adults only? Also they’ve lost potentially a few sales by not having the K2S0 mini-figure exclusive to that set (which I’m thankful for) but Lego normally lock these figures in the buildable sets as an incentive. These buildable figures have got to stop they are killing this theme

Posted

On a positive note, K-2S0 minifigures might become more affordable now, so that we can build armies of Imperial enforcer droids... On a negative note, that might not happen...

Posted

Well I'm feeling a bit silly for buying 2 of the old K-2SO minifigures last year (plus the one I got back in 2016, for 3 in total), though at least I got them very cheap in bundles. Still, I'm not one to complain about figures being more widely available (would be pretty hypocritical as someone begging for them to make more Range Troopers) and the new one is different enough that I doubt the old one will lose too much value (different mould for the legs and a different print on the head/torso, without the battle damage present on the R1 figure). 

Buildable figure looks... yeah not great. I was never going to look at it twice anyway but at least with the recent C-3PO and R2 for example while they weren't sets I wanted they were at least done well (note that I didn't include Chewie). As others have said, this should've been the new TIE. 

One thing I'm trying to remember is when the Mando's N1 and the Spider Tank were revealed directly after their respective episodes did we have any rumour of them beforehand? Could there still be an Andor spoiler set kept under close enough guard to not leak at all? (Huffing the copium hard, I know.)

I always thought Mando’s N1 kind of came out of nowhere. And then the set followed quickly afterwards but just depends on the set numbers but I hope we get the TIE avenger even if it’s next year and not in the summer

If memory serves me correctly, we knew those set numbers from TBoBF and Mando S3 were coming but just not what they were.

Unfortunately those sets were complete spoilers. I fear the Tie Avenger may have been doomed the moment Lego decided to prioritise a Buildable K2S0. 

A part of me selfishly hopes Lego loses money this year as a result of focusing too much on clones and Buildable characters. They seem to not realise there is such thing as over-saturating the market. And yes. I know this is what we in the Aslume would call a “Turtle solution”

I guess they know no adult is going to look at that and think it accurately captures K2SO, he looks like he's just been mentally scarred for life.

1 in a $70 set and one as the only fig in a set even more expensive- it'll be more affordable than it was, but I don't know if it'll be down to what most people would consider army-building levels. I could definitely see this guy going for $20-30 for awhile.

 

Yeah that set is awful. I don't get why they make these if they can't get the heads to look alright- he looks almost drugged out. The bionicle figure of him from 2016 looks SIGNIFICANTLY better.

Apparently the tank is now the Falchion stun tank from a single episode of TCW??? 

That's even more obscure than the UT-AT. 

Honestly I'm just not gonna believe anything about this set or the RTG one (currently assumed to be a hotrod snowspeeder) until we get actual pictures.

That would be way better than another undersized turbo tank

No more undersized sets pls lego

What even is this set. Has there ever been a set that’s been as muddled up in information as this? Even the Death Star rumour last year only went from Death Star to ISD (with some minifig mishaps).

(TBF the Falchion was admittedly in both of the two Zillo beast arc episodes.)

But what is the point of making the Falchion without the Zillo Beast? It’s otherwise a completely useless vehicle.
