... So the Lego star wars magazone will have Din Djjarin with the darksaber soon. TBH I already have him so this does nothing for me but it is a cool fig.

Alternatively, in Spain, you will get a TIE Defender microbuild in the next magazine.

Just saw the Solid Brix Studios' review of the U-Wing, and this:

 

"favourite minifigure out of this set", "absolutely fantastic", "wow, I love this figure"...
Is he blind? Yes, the cap-and-hair piece looks very good, but how can you ignore the legs? This should be a part of her coat, i.e. white and all-around. Instead we get a grey apron which does not look like a coat at all.

I do not think one should praise a figure that much that has glaring printing problems, and ideally should have been dual moulded. If that is not possible, one should not try to represent her in her coat in the first place and choose to show her without it.

Yep, i thought the exact same thing. Are we blind? Deploy the constructive criticism!

I get why you dislike it. But I don’t think it looks that bad. It’s not as noticeable as Commander Fox.

Well, that's a really low bar to beat, isn't it? Even in a "best of the worst" kinda scenario, it would have been worth mentioning in the review. Better than acting like you are presenting a flawless figure from top to bottom.

Sigh. Praising mediocrity, it’s a shame. Nothing personal but the standards have fallen. 

No offense taken but your standards must be quite high if printing robes on minifigure legs is considered mediocre. Sometimes perfect is the enemy of good.

To my fellow Tie Avengers. (ASSEMBLE!!)

Let us pray that there isn’t a notable Tie Fighter in M&G next year. As that would certainly take up the next Tie set slot and definitely condemn our chances of a Avenger as it’s just too large and detailed for a duel pack.

2027 is also a no go since either a normal Tie or Vader’s tie will have to be made for ANH 50th anniversary.

 

Why did Lego have to release 3 different red and white republic starfighters this year?! Couldn’t they have saved one for next year and made the Avenger instead?!

Drat, I’ve accidentally deleted the same post three times now. I need to go back to backing up my comments on my device before pasting them into my post.

It makes me optimistic that 2026 will be an Imperial renaissance (just hopefully with a decent number of generic forces alongside the Night Sister assassins.) But I’m still fearful that Andor Season 2 sets won’t be part of it.

 

@Swordy: good point about the 2020 AT AT. I forgot that the speeder could fit into the back. You’re probably right that if they get rid of that function it should be fine. (though they might make the entire platform a bit wider.)

I certainly hope so.
Honestly, there’s nothing we’ve seen in the M&G footage that can fill the $70 and $100 slots—maybe, maybe the arena featuring that large gladiator could fit in one of those. (Although that builds sounds very similar to another famous arena in SW that hasn’t been done before, so I doubt that’d be the case.) On the other hand, a TIE Avenger at $70 and perhaps a Fondor at $100 sounds much more plausible to me.

You’re right, though; the AT-AT shown in the footage does have a wider base than the design in Empire, so a more thorough redesign than a mere reskin could be in order. I’d love to see most, if not all the components in that fight featured inside a potential AT-AT playset, and I believe it can be done.

So, after i saw yet another U-Wing comparison, i can not stress enough how little of a problem the new Lego formula of downsizing sets in favor for a more detailed and sturdy build is for me. Of course, it was expected to be a smaller scale set by all accounts... and it is. But from my point of view, it's just smaller, not too small. And it is only smaller because the last model was arguably too big. I feel the same way about the most recent X-Wing and Tie-Fighter developments, which reached crazy high price points when they were too big of a behemoth to begin with... or in the case of the 75218 X-Wing charged an extra 20 Euros for a nearly identical, colour-swapped model (while only having some improved mechanism for the wings) just for the heck of it.

First things first, let me join with everyone else in formally welcoming you aboard. :D Your enthusiasm is greatly appreciated.

Actually, the U-Wing in 2016 was too small, in my opinion. This is the Rebellion’s equivalent to the Republic Gunship; many would have the same criticisms with a $70 Gunship as they do with the U-Wing. Nonetheless, the U-Wing is still seen as a starfighter over a troop-carrier by TLG, and for being a $70 starfighter the U-Wing is excellent. Personally, though, I’d rather have seen a U-Wing in the $140-170 range. To each his own, though; I do agree that the downscaled X-Wing is great, although I can’t say the same for the TIE Fighter. (Surely a middle-ground between Chibi-TIE and $100 starfighter can be reached, right?)

 

On the Dedra debacle:

First I’ll speak for myself. Strangely I don’t mind the faint printing as much as other people. Obviously and objectively, it doesn’t look good, but I don’t look at Commander Fox and see pink, nor do I look at Dedra and see gray; I read Fox’s torso as white and Dedra’s leg print as much the same way. The only time it does bother me is whenever I edit my photography on (poorman’s) Photoshop. Other than that time, I don’t pay attention to how strong the print job is on a minifigure.

In Dedra’s or Fox’s case, the solution is rather simple. For Dedra, increasing the budget to allow for dual-molded white legs with black boots and printing black on white as opposed to white on black would be better. For Fox, it’d require nothing more than a stronger dose of ink for each and every print, but that does overall increase the budget of the minifigure. Either pay more for supreme quality or less for average quality. One situation pushes LEGO into high-end collectibles for the fringe market of adults, the other keeps LEGO as a reasonable affordable toy for the next generation.

For the prices TLG is charging for sets nowadays, they should have supreme quality, yes, but why would they if people would still keep buying? As a business, it’s only reasonable for them to continue increasing the prices however far the market lets them.

They could also save some white ink by not printing it in completely the wrong place.

Maybe the reference of P2 Fox given to TLG by Lucasfilm was the same one given to the comic artists who drew Fox’s most recent canonical appearance? Maybe the LEGO designer despises the character of Fox as much as I do and made it accurate specifically to the aforementioned comic where Vader chokes Fox? (And good riddance to the clone who killed Fives!)

The opacity problem isn't quite as bad here, at least in the image you showed, and I don't think it's all that bad that a relatively minor character in the grand scheme of things "only" has a new mold and not side leg printing or dual molding. As-is, the U-wing is one of the only sets we've gotten this year with a good price, I don't think it's any more constructive to get so annoyed over a minor flaw than it is to blindly praise it.

6 hours ago, BrickPrick said:

I like that mindset. It's not always this "evil corporation TM" situation. If people have somewhat unrealistic expectations and needlessly setting them up for disappointment, that's on them, not anybody else. Other than that, buying a huge UCS set primarily for a single minifigure is... certainly a choice in the first place. 

I see. It's not like these hybrid Battle Packs with a 50:50 split between named characters and troops are the sweet spot for me. I tolerate them, but yeah... even better is a 100% commitment to either one of these kind of figure selections. The 75167 Bounty Hunter Speeder Bike Battle Pack was a great choice for getting a bunch of desirable characters all at once. While the 75320 Snowtrooper Battle Pack is close to perfection for army building. Both work well for me.

And thanks to your comment, i will now visualize a Cantina Alien Character Pack in my restless dreams, until it actually happens. 

It would be twice the pride for fans finally getting him again. And double the fall for Lego falling back into their lazy ways. 

Yep, i would consider it exactly that... wishful thinking. But this unexpected comeback definitely outweighs the inaccuracy of a single piece. First and foremost, i am glad we are getting her again. 

Yeah well, as far as Lego shop discounts generally go, they are pretty much irrelevant to me. It's the same thing on Black Friday every year. There are a couple of okay-ish disounts on offer. Usually sets that are soon to be discontinued and/or performing poorly... stuff they just want to get rid off. But those deals i can get all the time on Amazon. And much better ones than that. Last year was one of the rare exceptions with the 75354 Coruscant Guard Gunship being 20% off for May the 4th promotion. 

Yup. Lego isn't your friend, per se, but they're usually not actively against you either. It's a business relationship, but I think a lot of people nowadays see things as more personal than they are.

Yes, exactly- so long as the individual set 100% commits to either of those archtypes, I don't mind which archtype it chooses.

I think @Agent Kallus made a moc-up years ago. It would have been a nice set to come out alongside the MBS cantina back in 2021, but unfortunately I don't think we'll have any sort of chance until the next cantina releases, and even then only a small chance.

5 hours ago, Nobricksleft said:

I think they did the best job possible within the cost constraints, but I would like to know which costs more if they wanted to make it better, dual molding or printing the side of legs (if you had to choose only one). Printing the coat on the sides would have been awesome.

Side leg printing is a lot rarer, so I'm not sure. I think in this particular instance, since dual-molding already shows up in the needed color, it would probably have been cheaper than adding a new print zone to each leg (and remove the opacity issue)

I'm not gonna lie- while I like Andor (though I haven't seen the new season yet- too busy this week to sit down for three hours to watch it), my hope is 2026 brings us an Outlander. The new star wars era has a bad habit of creating and then forgetting about new TIEs and imperials, and I'd love to see the outlander get more use in TMAG.

2027 will almost certainly bring up 50th anniversary X-wing and TIE fighters- we've been operating 1 every three years since 2018.

Instructions unclear, imperial V-wing scheduled for january 2026- let's make both groups unhappy.

Why, thank you. I thought the warm welcome wave would be over by now, but there we go. And yes, i tend to be rather enthusiastic about the things i enjoy. 

Woah, woah, woah there... The U-Wing is supposed to be the equivalent of the Republic Gunship? Now i know. I always percieved it as yet another Starfighter. And like you said... so did Lego. Oh well, what do i know, i take back my comment of it meant to be a medium sized ship, then.

Other than that, it's always a matter of perspective. I think many playscale ships were not be seen as "too small" or "too big" back in the day. They were just kinda normal. But after all these re-releases, everything is shed in a new light. 

And in these direct comparisons, despite the noticable downsizing, i'm not upset about it for the most part. Of course, in some cases, releasing a smaller set for a higher price, is always a bad look from the outside. Even though record-breaking inflation is a thing. Especially after about a decade between modern makeovers. 

Ha, size-wise, i would at least consider the 75300 Imperial TIE Fighter to be close to a middle ground between 75237 and 75211. Although, as the former is a 4+ set, it might not qualify for a fair comparison. I don't know how the new TIE Frankenstein mashup thingy fits into all of this, though.

Yeah, at the end of the day, it's a business, not charity. And business, who would have thought, ain't always fair. But even then it's no one way road. Sometimes it's unfair to the costumers/consumers. Sometimes it's unfair to the employees. And sometimes it might even be unfair to Lego. If we were given the transparency about commercial success directly from Lego, beyond top 3 best selling licensing themes (like you get sales data for various other entertainment mediums), we would get a chance to see the bigger picture. And thus, might think differently about certain things. More open minded, less one-dimensional.

He did? I need to check this out. As an observer, i am quite big on fan creations, custom CMF's etc. And the MBS Mos Eisley Cantina actually came out in 2020; where does the time go?

If phrased like that, yes. If however side-printing or dual moulding is needed to represent what it is supposed to represent, it is a very different issue.

Yet if the super-premium high-end quality producer (that is Lego) is incapable of doing a great coat justice with the budget they allocated to the project, maybe, just maybe consider not doing it at all? You could still have that nice cap and give it a proper tunic plus trousers combination to avoid that grey apron stuff.
But if you are the super-premium producer (also charging super-premium prices), and you decide to do a great coat, then that great coat better work. It does not. This is not good. And it needs to be the object of fair critique, not overblown praise like "absolutely fantastic".

While far from perfect, I'm glad they chose the coat outfit because otherwise we wouldn't have the great hair/cap piece and overall it wouldn't be as interesting for this minifig.

Black over white could have been a better choice. Mmm, decisions.

[BrickBob Studpants]

A.clay stated the set is definitely a CTT now. Glad to finally have it settled then

While I still mourn the „loss“ of the UT-AT, I now view the set as a CTT with a better than usual minifig selection as opposed to a Galactic Marines set with the wrong vehicle.

That said, there has to be more to this set minifig-wise, right? 4 is very low for a set like this. A handful of BDs and/or SBDs would be nice, even though we already get plenty of them in the MTT and the 327th BP.

How many clones came with the AT-TE? It was 4 plus Cody right? There must be some kind of droid to go against them if Lego was feeling brave maybe they could chuck in a couple Droidekas as like you say plenty of B2s hanging around and presumably a load of B1s will be in the MTT

Thanks for bringing it up @Mandalorianknight, it was a while I did that so it's nice that you remembered! When I get back home to the UK I plan to start ordering parts for an IRL trident assault craft so hopefully more will come of that!

Yeah if the selection turns out to Bacara, Mundi and 2 marines then I'm not sure your better than usual line makes much sense! A shame they couldn't have given us this as a TBB set with Crosshair, Orn Free Tar, Howzer and more.

My hope is the Turbo Tank and MTT still have some surprises in store beyond the Marines, Bacara, Bly, Ki-Adi, and Aayla 

I’m very curious to see how the V-19’s minifigures will be handled. Will we get a new P1 helmet? Arm printing and all for Kenobi? Curved lightsabers for Ventress? It has the potential to be a massive hit of a set if the minifigures are done justice. I missed out on getting Obi-Wan in his TCW armour as a kid so I’m praying no shortcuts have been taken for this much anticipated update.

Still better than yet another Gree and 41st CTs  Sure, it‘s been a while since we last saw them, but Bacara and the GMs have never been done before at least! I‘d rather have a set with fewer but new minifigs, as opposed to one with more but only slighty updated minifigs.

That would‘ve been fantastic, but that ship has sailed, sadly! Also, it would‘ve been kinda hilarious to have a set where one of the characters gets shot in the head (and somehow survives)

As a RotS set, the CTT has little potential for surprises I‘m afraid. The MTT however could still include a CIS higher-up, like a Tactical Droid! I‘m not super hopeful about that, but at least it‘s a possibility!

I'd encourage you to temper your expectations. 75413 is nothing worth writing home about. That and the 327th Battle Pack being so egregious in their content and pricing will doubtlessly lead to people voting with their wallets. The clone brain folk are being well and truly mugged off. But perhaps this is a canon event that will separate the men from the boys.

Appreciate the heads up  Usually the flagship summer sets are the ones I get most excited about but it sounds like they dropped the ball quite hard this year.

Previous years, we’ve had sets like the Scythe, AT-TE, Ghost, E-Wing vs. Fiend Fighter etc. where both the builds and figures are excellently done. None of the sets this year sound like they’ll remotely achieve the same standard, which is a shame. I still don’t know what on earth they were thinking planning in three buildable figures for August after already doing Grogu and Chopper.

As others have already rightfully pointed out, the clone-mania would have been more palatable had it also been used as an opportunity to bring in new droid variants / Separatist commanders / Count Dooku etc.

Wow. So Lego’s sacrificed the desires of all fans but TCW ones this summer and the sets aren’t even worth it? Who am I kidding. Clone bros will complain and still buy 50 day one anyway.

Please tell me you have some good news. You wouldn’t have to explicitly say what it is. Just something hopeful.

All Lego’s done this year is drop the ball. I need to know if this is a fluke or a new standard.

What helped with those sets is that they also stood out in their respective waves.

This year, all play-sets either have clones or are a Starfighter with red colouring. Half of them fulfil both categories at once.

The U-Wing is definitely what stands out the most this year. Due to its light blue and white colour scheme and unique figures.

Day #5 of asking for asking Lego to make a Tie Avenger.

I personally think it looks to similar in flight mode to the standard tie to warrant a set.

But I respect that you’ve been left out from an Outlander for almost 5 years now. So I hope that at least you can be happy with whatever next year’s Tie is. (They can’t ignore ties again? Can they?)

Only if it includes a decent officer.

Why did Lego have to release 3 different red and white republic starfighters this year?! Couldn’t they have saved one for next year and made the Avenger instead?!

Having just catched up to Andor, without - of course - going into spoiler territory, i swear to the maker... If they don't do the TIE Avenger some much deserved justice next year, it might go down as one of the biggest missed opportunities in Lego Star Wars history. And at this point, that says something.

After all, new news to be sure, but not necessarily welcome ones.

Still disappointed about the UT-AT not happening. Maybe leakers just saw a blurry or preliminary image of the set and associated the minifigures with this vehicle. Like... why on earth wouldn't they? It's the only thing these troops ever showed up with on screen. So it's crazy Lego didn't do both at once. But as they are able mix and match figures with sets and scenes as they please, the UT-AT could still come out later on. 

Just glad the Galactic Marines are still happening. In my eyes, that's at least much better than releasing a UT-AT without them. And yes, considering the very low piece count (not even a big price pro piece ratio kinda guy), there absolutely has to be more than 4 true minifigs.

Yep, like just implied, at this price point, they better be. Even with two new helmet moulds, this set probably got no good excuses to not match the AT-TE minifig line-up.

Oh woah... Just started to look up your set ideas. I barely scratched the surface, but already found a lot of cool concepts. Would definitely want to buy a whole lot of them in a heartbeat. Well done. 

By the way, those reasonable price points make me all nostalgic. While the fact, that quite a few of your projects still haven't been officially made by now, does not make me nostalgic.

Yeah, filling up the MTT with Battle Droids is quite obviously a logical decision, but i hope there will be least some variety to them. We are long overdue for another B1 Commander and an Security Droid. 

As for the V-19, the inclusion of TCW Obi-Wan with arm printing would be a sight to see. In that regard, some more consistency for main characters would go a long way. If TCW Mace Windu can have printed arms in an even cheaper playset, i see no reason why Kenobi can't.

I'd encourage you to temper your expectations. 75413 is nothing worth writing home about. That and the 327th Battle Pack being so egregious in their content and pricing will doubtlessly lead to people voting with their wallets. The clone brain folk are being well and truly mugged off. But perhaps this is a canon event that will separate the men from the boys. 

Just the men? Whew, i thought it would be about the woman and children, too!

Well that was harsh lmao. Good news for me though, I suppose. I definitely wouldn't touch the CTT with a ten foot pole for the MSRP, but if I can get it on a good discount next year I might end up getting one.

The turbo tank pricing is going to go down in Lego Star Wars history as one of the most confusing decisions ever I think lol

While I still mourn the „loss“ of the UT-AT, I now view the set as a CTT with a better than usual minifig selection as opposed to a Galactic Marines set with the wrong vehicle.

That said, there has to be more to this set minifig-wise, right? 4 is very low for a set like this. A handful of BDs and/or SBDs would be nice, even though we already get plenty of them in the MTT and the 327th BP.

Yup- it's better than getting the 41st again.

I always thought the idea of it only being Ki-Adi, Bacara, and 2 GMs was strange. I assume there'll be at least one more GM, maybe a "driver" too, and some droids of some kind are almost a given.

If phrased like that, yes. If however side-printing or dual moulding is needed to represent what it is supposed to represent, it is a very different issue.

Yet if the super-premium high-end quality producer (that is Lego) is incapable of doing a great coat justice with the budget they allocated to the project, maybe, just maybe consider not doing it at all? You could still have that nice cap and give it a proper tunic plus trousers combination to avoid that grey apron stuff.
But if you are the super-premium producer (also charging super-premium prices), and you decide to do a great coat, then that great coat better work. It does not. This is not good. And it needs to be the object of fair critique, not overblown praise like "absolutely fantastic".

Like I said I don't think blind praise is good either, but complaining about Dedra Meero's legs of all things this year feels like looking at a flaming haystack and complaining that the needle inside it has a manufacturing defect. Especially when the U-wing seems to be comparatively good value.

And then lego learns the wrong lesson from it, as always. "People don't like these sets? It must be because the clones aren't 501st. More blue clone battle packs!"

Interesting. They were never on the DS that I know of, but I guess it adds exclusivity to the set...

Oh wow, guess that means that fig list I saw with Galen and Krennic might have been true after all.
