LEGO Star Wars 2025 Set Discussion - READ FIRST POST!!!

[MKJoshA]

Guys, stop talking about the first 3 episodes of Andor. Everyone should know by now that being on the internet (and that includes this forum) is also a spoiler risk. But you can wait a couple more days to reference the episodes that dropped.

With all due respect, and this is just my two cents on this spoiler scenario, if merely talking about the first 3 episodes can be seen as spoiler risk, which it definitely could be, maybe the line should be even tighter and not even allow people to talk about new stuff immediately in the first place. As what is a spoiler to one person, might not even scratch the surface for another. Where does a spoiler begin, where does it continue, where does it end? Everybody will naturally feel different about it. But if everyone would be aware to wait just this single week, this would minimize the risk of getting spoiled even further. Again, i don't wanna sound out of place or something. I gave my best not to spoil any specific scenes, plot points, neither major nor minor events etc. Instead, i tried to take on the Lego Star Wars angle.

If you look at the first post of this topic you'll see that the line is tighter. Policy for the Star Wars threads has been to wait 1-2 weeks before discussing anything related to the newly released media.

I try to be lenient and understanding. But I will enforce those rules as needed.

Gotcha. I try to be vigilant as well. Just saying that if the rule was to only talk about newly released media in any capacity after one to two weeks instead, everyone would be reading at their own risk, which each and everyone should be aware of when interacting online. The way it is now, is fine. Trying to be realistic here, potential spoilers has happened a lot and probably will happen a lot more in here. Recent shows and Lego Star Wars are so closely intertwined in several ways, it can create a dynamic in conversations rather quickly. Making even the tiniest little spoiler nearly impossible to avoid. But to conclude, i know i can do better than this. Next time, i will. Because despite being a new member, i don't wanna rely on any puppy protection in the slightest. 

 

Back to Lego Star Wars 2025 news, it looks like it's now confirmed only selected sets will get double VIP points for May the 4th. The presumed list is as follows: 

Ahsoka's Duel on Peridea, Ambush on Mandalore Battle Pack, Captain Rex Y-Wing Starfighter, Clone Trooper & Battle Droid Battle Pack, Coruscant Guard Gunship, Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator, Dessert Skiff & Sarlacc Pit, Ghost & Phantom II, Imperial Dropship vs. Rebel Scout Speeder, Imperial Star Destroyer, Jedi Bob's Starfighter, Paz Vizla and Moff Gideon Battle, The Dark Falcon, couple of helmets, some buildable characters, many sets from the Starship Collection and last, but certainly least, that 4+ thingy with the blue teddy bear. 

There are supposed to be three sets with 4x VIP points, which are the UCS Venator, UCS X-Wing and the TIE Fighter & X-Wing Mash-up.

The Andor series do have some interesting ships.

Please don't, Andor is actually worth watching and among the very best Star Wars content unter the Disney banner.

Same here. I plan to purchase the Imperial Star Destroyer, get the Kamino Training Facility GWP and that's that.

I‘m not sure if TLG will be willing to revisit Andor ever again. Besides follow-up sets to the shows being the exception rather than the norm anyway

I'll be even more vague since we're not meant to discuss the events of the scene, but yes, there will be no more Andor sets, absolutely. I think if lego knew, the U-wing would have been adjusted to a Rogue One set.

Yeah, a 1000$+ UCS set absolutely should deliver a stellar minifigure line-up. And exclusivity goes hand in hand with that. But there are better figs to put in there, like Krennic and the Emporer's Advisors. While Mas Amedda and Sly Moore feel like a stretch. I also don't like to say better than nothing every single time, as it's, well,  not always better. If you can't do something justice, like in the best or most reasonable way possible, you might as well don't do it at all. And leave it at that until you can. 

Exactly. Stellar minifigs are great but they have to at least make a little sense for the inclusion- I wouldn't even mind a generic imperial vehicle much but the death star is a specific two vehicles that we never saw either of them near.

This reminds me of one of the best sithposts I've ever seen in my life- it was a "leak" (Obviously fake as you'll see, don't worry) for the end of Andor S2 around the time that went something like this....

*The death star laser hits the ocean, Cassian embracing Jyn as their deaths approach. In the instant before he's incinerated, we see robed arms grab him by the back and throwing him through a portal. Andor opens his eyes, looking around at... stars? He looks down at the ground only to see a transparent blue bridge with nothing but more stars below it. Bewildered, he stands and turns around, only to see Ahsoka Tano.*

Ahsoka: "You think you're the only rebel in the galaxy? I've seen your story. I've seen Andor. And I'm here to talk to you about the mandalorian initiative."

Obviously fake, but it's just such a perfect joke about the feared Marvelization of star wars. I think ironically Andor's actually going to the other extreme, the "we're now just entirely gunning for emmy-bait prestige".

What? Of course not? Darth Vader KILLED Anakin, Obi-Wan tells us that in A New Hope!

Smart. I may end up doing that with the ghost and a microfighter or something.

Yeah, when including questionable at best minifigs in sets, i don't wanna see something like "all that people remember were >> insert character description here <<" wanna be justifications ever again. 

The whole thing with the leaked minifigure list, including Mas and Sly, seems to be false information anyways. Good lord, this reminds me there are just far too many people playing insiders out there. Not going to call out anyone by name, but yeah... it can get a little annoying at times. 

So what i read here is true... from a certain point of view. Man, i gotta watch Robot Chicken again. 

Sounds solid as well. How often do you do these May the 4th promos? Annually, usually, or occasionally?

No deals for the Onyx Cinder? I thought that one would have been a shoe-in for some kind of a discount.

Nope, i have not seen it. But like i mentioned before, this is not the official list. Things are obviously subject to change. Plus some sets might vary by region. I might be just a simple man trying to make my way in the universe. We will know for sure in a few days.

Andor if it was directed by Dave Filoni:

This is becoming a hotter and hotter take but I actually think Dave is the one who "gets it" most. He certainly shows favor to his favorite characters, and I don't like his tendency to overwrite books and comics when it suits him, but Ahsoka felt the most like classic star wars to me out of anything in the disney era.

Faverau's good too, but Mando S3 dropped the ball. Chow did well on Mando but I don't think Kenobi worked even as a concept- I wouldn't mind seeing her return as a director, but I also wouldn't put her at the level of the former two. It seems like Gilroy is pushing hard on the emmy-bait, which IMO should never be the goal of star wars, although it'd be extremely hard to derail Andor to the extend it becomes a bad show. Obviously there's no risk of the Acolyte showrunners returning to lucasfilm, so I don't even need to speak on that.

But yeah, it does seem like the mandoverse shows are culminating in the assembling of the space avengers.

All people remember about the death star is that Mas and Sly knew it existed. Really, any vehicle in star wars can best be described by how closely related those two are to it, right?

I guess it makes sense that the list is in turmoil- we know there were official-in-lego lists for the spider-man daily bugle with almost three times the final amount of figures, so it makes sense things would be in flux for an even larger set- but unfortunate if it was another situation where fake leakers just tried to generate buzz.

Always a fun one. One of my favorite quotes is when the construction is interrupting his monologue, and when he suggests they stop the worker is like "Look, I don't tell you how to threaten your little blonde kid or whatever, don't tell me how to do my job."

I used to do them annually just because I wanted enough of the march/may sets that I'd hit the threshold anyway, but I didn't get any last year, and depending on whether or not I pull the trigger on the ghost, I won't this year either.

Dude my local walmart had them for $56 each. I've got two in my apartment right now- since the figures sell for more than that online, it's essentially free parts- and all my friends each grabbed a copy.

I can PM you if you want but it's broken into non-star wars news sites at this point, you'll probably see it soon anyway. That's the last I'll say on it.

Mine has only ever had them for the retail $140 - I'd easily get one for $56!

I'll try to stay spoiler free for now, but I'm sure I'll come across it anyways.

I think Dave is best suited to animation, TCW, Rebels, ATLA, are all at the very least, decent. People gave him too much credit to think he was the next George, his live action stuff has been mid at best. As for Andor I'd prefer "emmy bait" to the other slop we've been getting. I don't think the show is perfect, but compared to the rest of the shows it's leagues above the rest.

Technically speaking, the only canon Star Wars is the canon that comes from its creator. The creator being George Lucas.

Why? I mean, the Disney canon is definitely the "official" canon, right? But even then, no one's saying that that makes it the "technically correct" canon or anything; the media you personally consume and enjoy is up to you. No canon is more "technically" Star Wars canon than any other, and I fail to see why George just having the primary role in creating the first few Star Wars properties makes those things the only legitimate Star Wars. Not trying to start an argument or anything, just curious about your reasoning.

Tarantula.

Talia Al Ghul.

Jabba and his slaves. 

I know these aren’t the same exactly. But I currently want more than anything for there to be more Andor sets. So I’m coping hard and praying for a Tie Avenger and Army Trooper BP in 2026.

(Not even Buildable B2EM0? Bro’s literally a talking version of my dog)

 

But I’d take RO sets as well.

Hey now. I’m not complaining about that. I’ll take it any day of the week over Acolyte, TBoBF, SC, Mando S3 and the ST.

I fell to my knees at the pure peak fiction I had just witnessed once episode 3 ended. The music, the cinematography, the acting, the pacing (of episode 3) all Absolute Cinema! (I don’t mean to glaze, but this is the happiest I’ve been with a live action SW project for a while)

Cassian and Mon are now 100% in my top 10 all time SW characters. Bix and Luthen are just outside the circle.

 

In other news. According to Kramer, the CTT’s wheels are brick built.

Yeah. I think this will be the Clone Bros’ breaking point.

Which means not only does it fail to contain any big, expensive parts to help justify the price, but significantly less pieces will be left over to go into the actual tank. How on Earth are they going to pull this off??

They won’t. The selling point will be Bacara and the Marines, not the quality of the set itself.

Does this mean that outside of the buildable characters and UCS sets, we aren’t getting any 1000+ piece sets this year? Again PPP isn’t everything but that’s atrocious, especially for the system scale sets

Ha, some Lego group people are reading this, right? We better stop giving them free bad PR advice. 

Well yeah, don't get me wrong. There are obviously lots of people involved. And everybody makes mistakes. Or their may be some misunderstandings between several sources. This is what fuels the speculation which we are all here for. Sometimes it's funny to see the huge leaking history of a single set and what it actually ends up being... for better or worse. The annoying part was solely in reference to the clickbait culture. Which is not exactly something new... but annoying nonetheless. 

This seems familiar to me... I gotta look that one up. Personally, i tend to enjoy the Emporer's parody quite a lot. Like when Palpy goes to the barber shop and the Ithorian owner pulls off his hood and he looks like freaking Einstein.  

Oh okay. Well, this will be only my second May the 4th promo i have been participating (2024/2025) in. I got some bigger sets in May in years prior to this, but outside of the Lego shop. As i wasn't exactly pleased with the GWP's in this decade. The way it is now, minifigs plus some actual builds, is a welcome return to form. Maybe not quite reaching absolute peak performance from the early days, but still miles ahead of what we used to get for a period of time.

The biggest technicality there is. I think if there is one IP where head canon matters the most, it's Star Wars. The universe is as wide as an ocean (sometimes as deep as a puddle), so each and everyone is encouraged to have his own version of the canon. And that's the beauty of it.

Tell me you are joking, without telling me you are joking. Isn't it a little late for April Fools' Day? 

Right now... more than i am willing to admit. 

 

Why in the world would they spread themself so thin? They got two new moulds. Yeah yeah, they have to be expensive. Not the mould itself, but setting up the new factory lines and all that. But if you have to compromise the actual set too much, like you already have ~100 pieces less than the last Turbo Tank (which was already much smaller), then... don't do it?

I know, wishful thinking at best, as i don't think it's up for the lego designer to decide at some point. But if we are now at a point that precious pieces are wasted for 10 buildable wheels... and no, PPP is by no means everything... then it's difficult to stay optimistic for this one.

The moulds themselves are expensive too, at least $250k a piece! Setting up the factory and storage room are important cost factors as well. Of course it gets even more expensive with dual-moulding.

Yeah, you are right... I remember reading this here a long time ago. Back then, i couldn't believe that. So my brain probably pushed away that knowledge. 

Even more so, i'd rather they used some more cost-effective 41st Clones in favour of the Turbo Tank build. Or just brought the Galactic Marines with the UT-AT in the first place. Although the former is more justifiable for the high price tag than the latter. 

I dunno... despite them being the reason for a seemingly heavily compromised build, i'm still glad we are getting the GA. Just even more worried about the set now... Which makes me wanna see the real thing more than ever.
