No solid leaks for the Death Star so far, looks like the LSB is doing a great job. 

Until we steal the plans, I was thinking they could make a half sphere exterior structure that would revolve around the interior, that way you could easily slide it around to view all the rooms and slide it back for display. The whole interior could also spin around the base. Let's send a U-Wing to Billund.

The last word triggers me to get a little bit off my chest, which ultimately might be perceived as the most uninteresting, unnecessary posting on Eurobricks ever... but better late than never. So yeah, prepare to be bored beyond reasoning everyone: A couple of months back, i don't know who it was or what exactly he was referring to... i just remember someone in this thread saying if X is or ain't happening, he will personally travel to Billund. Since i was convinced Lego would not fulfill the requested thing in question, all i have to say: enjoy your travels. 

If anyone knows what i am searching for and let me know, it would be greatly appreciated. To me, not remembering trivial stuff in any given moment, is like an itch that you can't scratch.

For another $10 with an extra figure and a new cloth accessory, you are getting maybe 50 extra pieces which wouldn't add any noticeable extra volume. So that is not viable.

To make it actually bigger you would probably need 300+ more pieces because volume is cubed and dimensions need to be consistent for stability purposes so you can't just easily add 1-2 studs of length. So you end up with a ~$200 set and maybe they add another minifigure repeat and people still complain.

This is a fair point. Intrigued to see where the value is with 900 pieces and likely £150. Seems to be some value in the new cloth/pauldron and obviously new moulds for the helmets, but definitely not in bigger pieces with the wheels being brick built. I can’t comment if it would be 300+ pieces given I have not seen the set - I would like to assume there’s a lot of smaller pieces inflating the value proposition, though…

By this point last year and years prior, I could swear we had some firm details around the summer sets. At least fairly detailed textual descriptions. Right now outside of the (admittedly fun) sketches the and occasional ‘the CTT will have at least one wheel’ sort of leak, it’s been incredibly dry.

I agree with all these points, but just to highlight a few:

- The AT-ST seems like a waste of a slot not being minifigure-scaled, but with the May UCS being a minifigure-scaled ship I guess Lego wanted to scratch their oversized vehicle build itch given that’s what the May UCS sets have been for a while. This would have been an awesome set to do an Endor Bunker build around too. Guess it’s frustrating because we’re already getting an abundance of non-minifigure sets this year as it is.

- The $170 - $230 window is indeed a significant one and personally, I would much rather this be used for ships that are too large for standard system sets but not quite large enough to merit an autumn / winter UCS slot. Plenty of Star Wars ships (e.g. the U-Wing) would make for perfect sets if they could use this sort of price point. Again pointing to how well a price point and piece count like the Milano / Benatar would work for Star Wars.

- I’m curious as to why we aren’t getting any substantial builds like the Dark Falcon and ISD this year. The CTT and MTT are sounding like extreme downgrades in terms of what we can usually expect from summer flagship models.

All fair points/observations. I will reserve final judgement for the AT-ST; I hope I’m pleasantly surprised! I just don’t like the idea of it likely having 1 figure and being advertised as 18+ and displayable, only. It will be too big for figures, essentially. 

Ships that are too large is subjective, I guess. In my mind, a Turbo Tank cannot be adequately done in this current climate at £140-£150. U-Wing is a good example. Agreed with the Milano example; the Tantive IV from 2019 is another illustrative example - a Sail Barge would work wonders here, as would a Turbo Tank.

My guess re. Flagship pricing is two-fold:

- UCS Death Star 

- more ambitious moulds for figures

Yeah, I think I'm not understanding what you're trying to say-

It is an 18+ set- I'm not sure if it has the label or not but for all intents and purposes it sounds like a UCS AT-ST- an AT-ST that, like what you've been asking for, is larger and more detailed than the system models. 

I was initially confused because I thought you were saying that you wanted the turbo tank and MTT to be significantly larger and more detailed without increasing the price, but now you are saying you'd be fine with the price increasing into the UCS window. Where I'm coming from is just at that point, if the price is in the UCS window, and it's larger and more detailed than system sets, is it not basically just a UCS set?

As for the star destroyer, no. I'd prefer it was cheaper, not larger and more expensive. 

Yes, so I will be careful not to complain too much. If it’s not scaled, the inclusion of figures won’t make sense. I think that’s where I am at with it. 

Yes, I absolutely would expect price increases! Problem is, I am not advocating for UCS techniques, scaling, advertising etc.  I want figures, play features, scaling that feels like (and ultimately are) the flagship sets. If the Turbo Tank and the MTT had another 300 pieces each, and cost £180 or so, that works for me. 

The Star Destroyer is solid, just for me, the value isn’t there due to the size. It doesn’t feel worth the price, but I can completely appreciate that’s my own opinion. 

However, I do think what they’re doing with the buildable droids is phenomenal. The battle droid with STAP is a perfect display piece. It exists as a display piece, which is by far the best angle to take.

I imagine it'll have a stand integrated into it's base.

It's funny because I'm almost definitely not gonna get this set ( unless it's around for ages and I feel richer in the future, I mean I drop an ungodly amount on Lego already but an £1000 set! I think I'd rather spend my money on multiple smaller sets (and you know essentials like bacon, toothpaste, pasta, loo rolls and orange squash)) but I'm more excited to see it than some other sets that I probably will end up purchasing.

I’d only get the Death Star tbh if I won the lotto, won a good accumulator or inherited some money from a crazy rich relative that I’ve never met lol. Realistically probably just pick up any interesting exclusive figures on bricklink/ebay. For me 400 is about my limit which is what Barad Dur cost and LKC was a little less back then. Even the figures you got to figure half will be generic troopers which we’ve probably got loads of already and I don’t care for random named officers as they all look the same to me. Then main cast we’ve got plenty of so for me there’s a good chance there will be maybe 5 figures id genuinely want that I would consider for myself worth collecting.

i know it the difference between licences and unlicensed sets but its kind of mad how the ideas vending machine has 16 new figures, new designs and shields and pieces etc and costs similar to the CTT and MTT which minus the b1s is rumored to be coming with well less than half that. Suppose as fans what are we wanting from sets is it the figures or the build or a combo?

Well as out comrade 'The Blasphemous Sponge' ( @BrickBob Studpants praise be Mara Jade) has evidenced, there is precedent for sets turning out better than rumours suggest. So I won't write anything off till I've seen it.

If I was to hazard a guess I'd say it was probably one of the Aslume gang as threats to raid Billund (undeservedly IMO) were a running joke over there. So that would be one of CloneCommando99 Lego Nostalgia, Mandalorian Knight, THELEGOBATMAN, Myself or Swordy. At least I think that's the main overlap between those 2 theeads.

From my point of view the ISD was much better than a building representing part of the Death Star 

Fair enough, I suppose for me it was that a star destroyer like that is very much something they've done before, where as a totally different take on the death star with an interior focus would be something new ( okay there's the chasm swing and Obi-wan's sabotage sets but they're much smaller).

Yep, the ongoing thirst for more info is real. 

I wanna put it this way, the UCS Death Star will probably be the most exciting set that i will never get.

Ha, good one. At first i was like "hold on, that's not what i wrote." Know this, i am very found of quoting pop culture things (either 1:1 or adjusted) in situations i deem to be fitting. So your word play is something i can totally get behind. 

Oh okay, that's good to know. I actually searched this entire thread for the beloved Billionaire bubble and didn't find it. I think it actually happened a little longer ago than i thought that it did. And it's just that i only catched up to it a couple of months back, hence the recency bias. However, i am holding out hope that it was either @CloneCommando99, @Mandalorianknight, or, well, you. Since these are the individuals i am in touch with the most. Even though my stomach says it's one of the other guys. If i had to take a guess, i think it was the Dedra Meero fanatic.

It pretty much has to if it's going to have a shell/casing, just to make the lower parts of the casing removable without having another guy hold it up.

Yeah I feel similarly here, I'll never buy it- probably even if I did have the money to burn, just because where the heck would you even put it, but it'll be a really cool thing to see in lego stores or even just the images online.

I see... it's a running gag. That might slightly complicate things for me, but it doesn’t matter. Unless the news drought stops soon, i will find it. 

 

So even though the newly revealed Vending Maschine spawned from the Ideas initiative, Lego should do this to Trojan Horse a Lego Star Wars CMF into existence... just without the gamble factor. So not really a CMF in the sense of blind bags, but more in a way of getting a bunch of desirable minifigs all at once.

We are condemned to use the tools of our enemy (501st BP style lobbying) to defeat them.

I burn my decency and data for another subtheme’s future.

 

So what is my sacrifice? Not that much but I just really want a Tie Avenger (and ISB Tactical Shuttle and Army Trooper BP, but I’m willing to compromise unlike Clone Bros)

Ha, whether you were saying this on purpose or not, speaking of your sacrifice, for a second i thought you would go full on Luthen monologue mode. 

I like my clones. I love the era. But i'm not willing to be blinded by it all. Like rather enjoy being enthusiastic about certain things, but i can't stand being a fully fledged fanboy with zero expectations. So if 2026 was a return to form, so like providing a better balance in terms of sub-themes again, i would be all for it. 

In regards to be willing to compromise, well... I will probably end up getting the new CTT. Just at an even deeper discount that i originally anticipated. I don't know if you can make a bigger compromise in the Lego Atar Wars landscape right now. 

Mara Jade... Why does that name sound familiar to me? Is she a true Skywalker... or more like Reeeeey?

Calm. Kindness, kinship. Love. I’ve given up all chance at financial stability, I’ve made my mind a sunless space. I share my dreams with ghosts. I wake up every day to a build I started 15 years ago from which there’s only one conclusion: I’m damned for what I do. My anger, my ego, my unwillingness to yield, my eagerness to build, they’ve set me on a path from which there is no escape. I yearned to be a savior against price increases without contemplating the cost, and by the time I looked down, there was no longer any bricks beneath my feet.

What is… what is my sacrifice? I’m condemned to use the bricks of my enemy to defeat them. I burn my bank account for someone else’s future. I burn my life, to make a set that I know I’ll never see. No, the ego that started this build will never have a mirror, or an audience, or the light of gratitude. So what do I sacrifice?

Everything.

There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the clone sets. Remember this. Balanced waves are a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and with instructions. Random acts of non-TCW sets are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole fans of movies, trilogies that have no idea that they've already enlisted in the cause. Remember that the frontier of the non-TCW SW fans is everywhere. And even the smallest act of non TCW sets pushes our lines forward. And then remember this. The clone bro need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Brown bricks are brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that. And know this, the day will come when all these purchases and builds, these moments of building will have flooded the banks of the clone bro authority and then there will be one too many. One single set will break the siege. Remember this. Buy (The Andor U-Wing).

God I love Andor. I’ll be sure to use season 2 monologues when 2026 news comes round (where is it?!!)

Ha, okay, that's just pure comedy gold. Makes me feel right at home even further. 

Mon Mothma's or Maarva's monologue might be solid contenders regarding more Andor material. 

Here i am, preparing the inevitable anti-acceptance speech (that even a thing?) for the upcoming Clone Turbo Tank. Only then, instead of some powerful, albeit adjusted Andor monologues, it will be most fittingly a plethora of silly prequel memes.

Probably the MTT since that’s a TCW set while the CTT is based on ROTS (mismatch between unit and vehicle notwithstanding) ^^ Or maybe they’re actually in the 327th BP and the SBDs in the leaked preliminary image were just placeholders

Nice to see Commando Droids returning after 11 years, presumably they won’t be redesigned. So many moulds are being resurrected this year.

I’d love to get a redesigned Magnaguard at some point.

Well, by that logic the Commando Droids wouldn't be included in the ROTS based 327th BP either, right? Or it won't matter at all, because Lego tends to mix and match figures and locations how they see fit anyways.

And chances are all these sets (CTT/MTT/327BP) will have TCW branding, as Lego always does this when clones are included. Which, of course, wouldn't rule out additional 20th ROTS anniversary design on the package (like the 501st BP with TCW box art and 20th anniversary CW logo).

So yeah, i can see all possible scenarios. The most important thing is their long overdue comeback.

Oh, i gotta clarify, i merely meant from Lego's point of view. Of course, depending on personal preferences, it still might matter to the consumer side of things. However, if your inner purist monk allows it, you could still put the CTT in your ROTS collection, regardless of box branding. 

Yes, i agree on that. Commando Droids should only be included at the expense of some generic B1s, not swapped out for more valuable characters. If all you get is just Clankers, i would at least want one of them to be a Commander Battle Droid.
