Now. We all know that 75421 could be one of a number of desirable things: Patrol gunship, Tie Avenger, Tie Defender, ITT, Endor Bunker…. But 75423 has an even more obscure pricepoint which likely makes it either an overpriced starfighter or something else. My current theory is that it’s a Defence of Hoth remake.

Maybe the Fondor 🤞. But not sure that $100 are enough.

I believe the last $100 ship was the Inquisitor Transport Scythe, and I could definitely see the Fondor being around the same size as that, with about 4 minifigs (Luthen, Kleya, Mon Mothma, Ronni Googe?)

Fingers crossed the unknown Imperial and Rebel sets are interesting. Best case would be a TIE Avenger and the Fondor, but I’m expecting something boring like an Imperial Shittle with the same old figs and an overpriced Y-Wing (more like Why-Wing, if so) :snicker:

with lego price increases though (not aligning to inflation) this will probably be closer in line with the ambush on Ferrix set from that same year vs. the inquisitor transport.  (love thatl figure line up though)

Either way, there will surely be more to come. For instance, there are no helmet sets in the list here and I’m certain they didn’t bring the subtheme back just for two sets!

Well, they already have been rotating some 18+ sub-themes in and out the last couple of years. 2024 got dioramas and no helmets, this year it's the other way around. So it wouldn't surprise me to see the helmets put on ice again. We might have reached a point when even Lego can't keep track of all these extra formats, let alone releasing all of them in a single year. :head_back:

Okay, now that the dust has settled, here are my uninteresting thoughts on the upcoming early 2026 sets: 

75421: $69.99, 7+/75423: $99.99 7+ These two sets, rumored to be based on the empire and rebellion respectively, are really promising. Hopefully they are more than your average run of the mill remakes of popular vehicles. If neither of them is based on Andor, though that wouldn't be the final nail in the coffin, it will still be a huge missed opportunity. 

75436: $9.99, 6+ While Mando's Speederbike is certainly nothing i can get excited for at this point, the possible return to very cheap affordable sets like the good old days would be a welcome surprise indeed. 

75437: $29.99, 7+ Getting a most wanted minifigure you never even thought would see the Lego light of day is always a nice thing. Given that it happens to be one of my favorite characters ever, Cad Bane, in addition to another never made character, is just the cherry on top. So yeah, my definite highlight so far; extremely excited for this one. 

75440: $59.99, 18+, 75441: $79.99, 18+ I can definitely see the appeal for the Starship Collection, an AT-AT as well, but it's not for me. Still have the stance that it would be a much more attractive offering with a exclusive or desirable minifigure included. The Venator in midi-scale should make for a nice companion piece to the Invisible Hand, though. 

75443: $19.99, 4+ Same as above. If there are no interesting figures of note to be found, i don't care for any 4+ sets that basically became marketing gags to pick up the cash out of unaware parent's pockets. Yet another Grogu doesn't even shock me. Next year is Mando year, so they gotta go all-in on the Mando merch, i suppose. 

75448: $14.99, 6+ And one more time the same principle applies... No cool fig means no buy. Although these things should be reserved to keep on providing a cheap option to get some main characters. Basing a mech on a freaking Clone Trooper that is already available in a comparably affordable set is just straight up stupid in my opinion. 

75449: $19.99, 6+ It's a Battle Pack, so i will get it. A Battle Pack just shy of entering creative bankruptcy territory, but a Battle Pack nonetheless. Just not one i will be particularly eager to get. And for at least half the troops (no explanation needed) not very excited to put them on my base plate either. 

75452: $89.99, 10+ Buildable droids and characters are not my thing, either. So they are the easiest passes for me. Any sequel stuff, regardless of quality and even it's sweet little saving grace, i ignore, anyways. 

30727: $4.99, 6+ A polybag with a build always fails to excite me in any way, shape or form. Miss my majestic minifigures. 

Thanks to @Classic_Spaceman for providing the full list of set numbers, price points and age ratings.

I'd be so down for a Fondor, but I think you may be right about $100 be too little. The way I see it, there are two issues. First is just size, it's not out of the realm of possibility (especially if it's a fairly generous size relative to the price, which is rare but not unheard of). But the other thing is that Andor sets are just inherently going to skew more towards adults in terms of appeal, so I feel like if we got a larger set based on the series (which pretty much has to be the Fondor imo), it'd probably be more in the range of at least $150 since most adult fans would probably prefer a $150+ model that puts the extra parts to good use. 

In any case though, $100 is a really unusual price point for a rebel vehicle, especially in the era of downscaled sets. If nothing else I just hope it's something we've not seen in a long time, maybe even a location set if they're feeling daring.

B wing scaled to minifigures?  Rebel transport playset?  These are my two hopes for it.

Posted (edited)

For the Imperial set, obviously a TIE Avenger would be the ideal, but for the Rebel set, my biggest hope is definitely a Hoth rebel base, probably at a similar scale to the 2007 version, which I reckon is fairly realistic since they have to do a snowspeeder with the new cockpit at some point soon (either with the base or separately), and it would be perfect to tie in with an AT-AT if they do make one for TMAG (and maybe also to tie in with the midi scale one, but less so because of the different scale).

I still think it’s a Hoth defence. Like @AD_Bricks

 

But come to think of it… there were rumours circulating of an Imperial tank and Y-Wing releasing in 2026 a couple of weeks ago. Nah. Probably Hoth Defence and Tie Avenger.

I dunno. To me, this “Rebel” set sounds like a vehicle, not a Hoth playset :shrug_oh_well: Sure, it would technically fit the description, but why not call it a Hoth set then? (Then again, the same could be said for most vehicles)

I've moved your comment from the News Thread to here, the Discussion Thread. The News thread is for substantiated rumors and new news. Comments about (and therefore discussion) of new sets belongs in the Discussion thread, which is here.

It used to be that we had a separate thread for discussion sets from each year. I've changed that in recent years but I realized my intro post to this topic didn't make that very clear. I've tried to correct that.

We have separate threads for NEWS divided by year. This includes substantiated rumors, set descriptions, and official reveals. 

We have just 1 thread for discussion in which you can discuss sets regardless of which year they release. I will continue to create a new thread each year so we don't end up with a thread 1000s of pages long. But for now, please use this thread to discuss sets from both 2025 and 2026.

Okay, now it's clear to me. I wasn't actually aware that you discuss every sets in here regardless of year. Because i *somehow* understood your prior reminder as a friendly warning for not getting any more off-topic, so i moved my comment to the news thread. Now i know. So in any case, thanks for both letting me know and for restoring my no double posting streak in the process. :sweet::thumbup:

Maybe it is a snowspeeder, but with price increases we are now at $100?  So just a ship but Hoth.

 

I would love to have a new snow speeder in a Hoth set.  I am not sure what I want more, a new snow speeder with the new windshield (a real one not the yellow thing) or a play set built around a rebel transport ship.  I think the snow speeder with the new windshield.  hoping the $100 set is a location like Hoth over 

 

I still really want the Death Star plans - specifically the mini figure list.

I was thinking about a B Wing as well but I don't really expect it, the last one was only $50 and that was before everything was getting downscaled.

Hoth base would be really cool and it does feel like we're about due for a new version of it. I'm still expecting it to be a vehicle though, partly just so I don't get my hopes up too much but also because Lego has not been doing many large locations sets for LSW recently. The few we've been getting are mostly mid-price I'd say, and iirc the only one over $100 in the last three years was Yavin.

Same. Actually, it's such a generic base level "imperial/rebel" that it has me thinking either it's educated guesses, or lego's put "token OT set" on some internal list somewhere.

I could unironically see the 2020 snowspeeder+side build going for $100 in Lego's 2026.

Yep, a new Hoth Echo Base is definitely overdue. I think it would work rather well in the Yavin 4 format as a larger play scale set. Even if the set left certain things to be desired from a design standpoint, it finally bridged the  gap between the usual seven figures from flagship sets and 20+ minifigures for the Master Builder Series. 

Speaking of which, alternatively, how about you finally give the so-called "UCS" Assault on Hoth the official MBS treatment and thus, the high-quality set it rightfully deserves? No Kenner copy cat this time. No, just a well rounded, detailed and, of course, overpriced display model you can still play around with. While also be cheery about all them magnificent minifigures. 

That's why i used to like and appreciate the MBS series so much. It's collectable, displayable and playable all in one... on a larger scale.

That's exactly what i thought about this... For a hundred bucks you at least get a substantial side build to compliment your mighty Snowspeeder!

Hopefully they are more than your average run of the mill remakes of popular vehicles. If neither of them is based on Andor, though that wouldn't be the final nail in the coffin, it will still be a huge missed opportunity. 

Because I have a severe mental illness I went back over the last 10 ish years to find the majority of sets that are a 7+ rating and came back with two major categories, with one being more likely.

The two major categories that kept coming up were medium vehicles (A great deal of the starfighers and interceptors were 7+, as were the last vulture droids, tri fighters etc along with the republic fighter tank, landspeeder, the aat, pod racer and a-wing)
The other category was buildings/scenes like: 75386, 75299, 75270, 75269, 75259, 75246 and 75229. 

So my guess based on it being rebellion and empire would be some kind of buildable scene for both (since $70 and $100 are very high costs for medium vehicles) just as an example, a hoth base set (to go with the two rumored at-at's) or perhaps endor bunker to go along side some of the episode 6 stuff. I also have to imagine Lego might want to disperse some of their new Imperial figures from the death star into a cheaper set. Perhaps a playscale deathstar scene with a bunch of the named imperials.

Alternatively, I considered the possibility of a spiritual successor to the old Ultimate Space Battle set. A couple jedi starfighters and CIS fighters in one big set. But since the rumours are empire and rebellion my dreams are crushed.

I think the two big things being looked over when talking about 75421 and 75423 are the age rating, and what set numbers they are. They’re both a part of the 8 set numbers (75420-75427) originally intended for 2HY 2025 that got pushed back to 2026. While not confirmed, It’s pretty likely that these sets are intended to be for the Mando and Grogu Movie rather than OT remakes. Since the movie’s release date was pushed back from Dec 2025 to May 2026, It makes sense that all the sets for the movie would be pushed back 5 months as well, just like the Onyx Cinder was last year. That would put these 8 pushed back sets for a release in January, although since only 2 have any information available, I’m guessing the entire Mando Movie wave is intended  for a release in March instead.

About the age rating, it’s been over a decade since there’s been any Star Wars set this large for the 7+ age bracket. As of now, the largest LSW 7+ set is the Force Burner Snowspeeder, which has a 45$ gap between it and 75423’s rumored price. I’m leaning towards both sets being locations from the movie, since all Imperial/Rebel ships have been at least 8+ sets in the past decade, barring just the A-Wing. A duel ship pack wouldn’t line up with the age bracket either, since the last 3 have all been 9+ sets. &nbsp

My personal guess for these two, is that the Imperial playset is an action sequence from the movie set at some imperial location, while the Rebel playset is the rebel base from the leaked D23 trailer, with a regular A-Wing included on the side to boost the pricetag.

Welcome to eurobricks, very solid analysis and good points.

The only thing I'll say- and I may have missed something, you've clearly done your research- is that if they are Mando Movie sets, they're almost certainly a Razor Crest and AT-AT rather than two location sets. Location sets are much rarer than vehicles in SW and we already know those two are coming.

This would be an excellent set and I've had one in the works as a MOC for awhile, but PLEASE let the OT have just a few system retail sets. There were/are literally zero this year.

For me the price for the rumoured imperial set is perfect for a strarfighter of some sort. Same price point as the Arc170, even similar to the TIE bomber set it just lines up that it could be a TIE just hoping it’s an Avenger.

then the rebel set i kind of hope it isn’t a OT ship as with the new Ahsoka and Mando movie I’m hoping for new republic variants to come out. If it’s a location set there are options loads of said Hoth but with the big anniversaries coming up (even though I hate how obsessed everyone is with them) it makes sense to hold back anything ESB for the big one. My money is on this being an Endor set, like small scale ewok village or bunker set. If Lego is really crazy could dream of it being a Yavin extension based off of Andor but Lego would never be that generous.

Oh hey there. Glad to see you’ve made the jump from BrickTap to Eurobricks.

 

Good points. Though I’m still foolishly going to hold out hope for a Tie Avenger or at least a cool imperial set, not to say an imperial base wouldn’t be cool though.

There’s also a possibility that a few set numbers were pushed back in favour of this year’s controversial clone extravaganza.

Then again, there were quite a few last year and none this year. Many of the 2024 sets will retire at the end of this year.

Wasn’t the movie pushed back quite soon after the initial announcement? It’s quite likely the movie was already delayed by the point the set design process started :laugh:

Moreover, set numbers don’t always make sense, and it’s also possible that these two sets were in fact carry-overs from this year, but for entirely different reasons. We’ll see once we hear more details ^^
