Day #124 of asking Lego to make a Tie Avenger in the foreseeable future.

(Jokes aside, the last time a tie took a hiatus from the year’s lineup (2022), the following year had 2 play-scale Tie Variants. So it is possible. But as @Mandalorianknight justifiably points out, it’s more unlikely in the current clone and 18+ dominated landscape)

(Don’t worry @BrickBob Studpants and @Lordhelmet, you’ll make your cameos some other time. Our Duros comrade just was the easiest of our cabal to edit into this meme)

Haha, now that's the crossover i didn't knew i wanted. @CloneCommando99, @Mandalorianknight and @BrickPrick together at last. Not gonna lie, i feel honored for this welcome cameo surprise. Lovely seeing that dazzling Duros on there. Good thing i didn't change my profile picture just yet. Anyways, thank you. Here's to many more memes... just not too many.

You’re right. Andor, like most D+ shows, was not a complete and utter financial success like the Mandalorian until Season 3.

But financial, whilst very important, is not the most important criteria of its success in my eyes. It’s revitalised hype for the Star Wars brand in among the General Audience and fallen fans after the thought to be irreparable damage caused by Acolyte (look at how Skeleton Crew did.)

Battlefront II resurgence, Battlefront 3 Campaign, Rogue One being a Top 5 most watched movie on Disney + for almost a month, Celebrities actively praising it (George R.R Martin and Pedro Pascal), Grifters and even some of the most anti-woke ‘fans’ begrudgingly admitting that Andor is quality and Disney hasn’t made ‘woke garbage’ on this one, the U-Wing supposedly selling well compared to other 2025 SW sets… it’s all connected. People are rising up and returning to Star Wars thanks to goodwill caused by Andor.

Andor is currently of little short term profit for Disney, but it’s going to be massively helpful for long term gain. You can’t have a successful franchise if there’s no fandom to sustain it. Andor’s quality and hype is actively replenishing the SW fanbase. Which will lead to a resurgence in merch sales and that’s where the real money is made.

^^This.  All day long.

Well said, and hopefully Tony Gilroy's 'lightning from a clear blue sky' creation isn't a solitary phenomenon.  Unfortunately there's nobody else like him on the Disney/Lucasfilm campus as far as I know.  I'm an active part of this resurgence, but I'm not convinced it has staying power.  I hope I'm wrong!

I still want Neyo, AT-RT pilot and 41st Elite Corps Trooper but I understant why people are tired of clones.

I just want to complete the clones from the prequels.

Ooh an official AT-RT driver would be nice. I'm fine with not getting Neyo and the 41st trooper though since I really don't see any direction they can go except backwards from the quality of their previous versions (e.g. they might do the same lazy move as they did with the Galactic Marines and give the 41st Scouts regular trooper legs).

If the last Tarkin had been the 2006 one, I‘d feel similarly about that, or maybe even the 2016 one, but since he‘s already included in the new DS, he‘d be a mere repeat.

For a lot of people the one in the DS is so unobtainable that it might as well not exist, unless it gets Mexico Factory'd, so a repeat of it would be pretty much equivalent to being a new figure.

We agree a Tie Avenger would naturally be great due to the automatic required fig selection (Pilot Cassian)

I am indeed Aragorn

 

Technically according to his criteria that would be merely "above average" best-case scenario.

You're missing the point. Not as many people watched it, and those who did were primarily adults- given the emmy-bait marketing, probably a uniquely large portion of adults who aren't otherwise SW fans- especially lego star wars fans- as well. Again, I'm not criticizing the quality of the show. I'm pointing out the reality that there's very little overlap between the demo that watched andor and the demo that lego typically makes system sets for. Resultingly, it doesn't really make sense for lego to rush a TIE avenger into production. There's no incentive to do so like there was for baby yoda or no way home. I feel like I'm crazy for being the only one who sees this, because I don't understand how this isn't logical.

That‘s why I didn‘t specify what a „noteworthy variation“ is  A new Dooku would likely not differ drastically from the 2013 one (it might actually be worse given how good that particular faceprint was) and thus indeed be average in my book. Zam Wessel however I would consider a significant upgrade since we never had a flesh-coloured one and the helmet would certainly be new too, and thus clearly above average. If the last Tarkin had been the 2006 one, I‘d feel similarly about that, or maybe even the 2016 one, but since he‘s already included in the new DS, he‘d be a mere repeat.

I just don't think the first Dooku in 13+ years, or a "mere repeat" from a $1000 set who hasn't otherwise been seen in a decade would be "average". Maybe for your specific circumstances of owning almost all the sets for at least a decade, sure, there might not be much there for you. But again, can you really tell me with a straight face you'd consider a clone battle pack of a new legion better than a Palpatine's Arrest remake that somehow included Revan, Nien, etc?

 

While confirming I was right about the last Dooku being 2013, I realized that most people in lego's target system set demo were not yet born when he was last released. I know some people think the "major vehicles and characters every 3 years" cycle is too much, but a full generation of lego fans are growing up without the ability to get a firsthand Count Dooku minifigure, and I feel like everyone should be able to agree that thirteen years is a bit long of a gap for a character that major.

And this is the issue- the sheer amount of clones being put out is just too many. Lego is pushing too far and too fast, and they're eating their own market. If they'd spaced it out a little better, aside from actually adding some more era/faction variety, I'm sure sales would have remained pretty solid for a number of years. As-is, they oversaturated the market, and since we know the standard dev cycle is around 1.5 years, by the time the August 2025 wave sales data is analyzed, we'll be lucky if they reverse course by 2027. (The 1HY set list confirming that things are going to get worse before they get better, as we have our second $20 battle pack of the same clone legion we got 2.5 years ago. And I feel like the least massable legion, too, given they're a subset of another legion and the mandalore detachment itself contained plenty of standard 501st and shinies)

You’re right, Neyo is already in the Saleucami set. He’s very similar to a regular BARC/91st trooper.

For the 41st I was referring to the grey and white trooper we see in Coruscant.

Day #125 of Tie Avenger summoning

I swear, if we get a 125th legion set before a good imperial battlepack or a Tie Avenger or a Tie Reaper or a Zeta Class Shuttle because of Doomsday… I swear to Lucas I’m going to crash out at those Glup Shittos!!!

I’m not disputing this. But another hefty percentage of those adult viewers are also old fans who are returning to the SW brand. (Then there’s the entire question of whether Lego’s actually catering to kids instead of adults nowadays) Those old fans, now back in love with the SW brand, will show their kids SW. And that’ll improve Lego sales.

Yes. There is no extra incentive to put a Tie Avenger in production. Andor is nowhere near that level. I understand that. I know that I’m not logical for wanting more Andor play-sets. But that’s what makes me a Aslume inmate, and that’s my greatest strength.

Well, yeah  I want a TIE Avenger primarily because it‘s a cool new TIE variant, not because of the minifigs that would be included  Cassian would be a noteworthy variant and a Range Trooper an updated rare minifig in my book ^^

They‘d be pretty much on par pretty in my eyes, as they‘re all either noteworthy variants (clones) or upgrades (like Kit Fisto and Agen Kolar with non-rubbery heads à la Plo Koon). Again, significant upgrades fall into my „above average“ category too

Also, this is just my personal categorisation and in the end it‘s all about preference ^^ I‘m glad whenever desirable minifigs like Dooku get updated or not locked behind $1000 paywalls, I‘m just not that excited about them  

[BrickPrick]

It's a good thing i ain't got no megaphone, because it might not be interesting to everybody. And not like i haven't been telling this a couple of times already, but... I am sick. And i am tired. About modern Lego Star Wars Clone Troopers. Given that i came back to this hobby in the late 2010s, i was obviously very excited when Lego brought them back in a big way this decade. Lego actually spacing sets out helped a ton in keeping the excitement going through the years. But nowadays... that's impossible! No need to search my feelings, i know it to be extra cloni cannoli. I look at something like the 327th Battle Pack, even at a much more reasonable price point and think to myself... "can i get it now? Sure. Am i in any rush to do so? No." You start to feel incredibly indifferent about these things. So sooner or later just makes no difference to me anymore. Still wanna see some missing legions to see the Lego light of day, but yeah... I kinda became world-weary of those white dudes with their colored stripes. 

It's time to stop! It's time to stop, okay? No more! Think of the children... oh wait. -_-'

YOU WILL EAT YOUR CLONES AND YOU‘RE GONNA LIKE IT

The orange-flavoured ones are my favourite.

[Flieger]

As we have a nice early TCW General Kenobi, I obviously want an early TCW General Skywalker; the last one was from 2018 (and it does not look so nice compared to 2025's Kenobi). 

And then, Phase 1 clones. Pretty much all the recent clone releases featured Phase 2. 

Obviously I would prefer non-clone military and law enforcement like Senate Guards, Coruscant underground police, militias, or Judicials. But I highly doubt I will see them as Lego minifig anytime soon, if ever.

I understand. This is the stuff one cannot fix at home.
Yularen's pants or missing boots e.g. can be easily fixed. Though, in all honesty, if one needs to bricklink new legs to improve minifigs, or even just to fix blatant mistakes in a 1000€ set...

I used to like the blue milk, but now the 332nd cocktail just makes me drunk beyond belief. 

Yeah, i could do with a juicy, tasty 41st salad any day now. Didn't had any for quite a long time. 

Other than that, maybe concentrate your efforts on a variety of phase 1 food instead of constantly delivering slightly different variations of phase 2 buffet.

I don't entirely disagree, but I think a lot of adults do actually buy system sets. A lot of the summer 2025 play sets seemed to be aimed toward adults who grew up with the prequels/TCW. I also don't think a set needs to be recognizable to kids for them to want it, we got a Tie Defender in 2010 which was just from various EU media. Lego could have recognized the greatness of the Avenger and decided to make one, they made the Ambush on Ferrix set in 2022 for S1 and that isn't even as cool as the Tie Avenger.

AT-RT pilot

This one does surprise me, given how often lego releases AT-RTs. If they put out a little $10 AT-RT with a driver and chewbacca or Yoda or something, it'd be a solid set. New trooper variant, accurate size for popular vehicle, and major character for $10.

That's why they're going back on shelves. Also why we got grape ones in the new style before the 104th despite the them not being canon- it's the best flavor.

Awesome, that's all I needed. Again, I'd like a TIE avenger set, I liked Andor, I just didn't see the logic. So long as it's understood why it's unlikely I've got no issue saying "but it would be cool of lego to do though."

 

I really do hope we get more $10 system sets. That Mando and grogu bike might be the first set I buy... ever? more to encourage more of that type of set than for the actual product. I can easily invest $10 to up the chances- however small my single contribution would be- of getting more of that price point from this theme. There are so many good options, and those sets have great potential to give us accurately-scaled versions of commonly oversized vehicles, get us cheap versions of desirable figs, and at their low price point, figs we might not otherwise get. (The risk of a $10 Cal vs Second Sister set being much less than a Mantis or something.)

A few points here:

1. Plenty of adults buy system sets. I'm one of them, as is assumably most of this thread. That said, the standard 6-12 lego system sets are designed for 6-12 year olds. We aren't the target audience.

2. The Defender was made in a different era of the theme, when there was much less to pull from. As much as I want one today, that sort of thing is incredibly rare.

3. The Ambush on Ferrix set was an Andor tie-in meant to coincide with the release, as lego's done for every live-action star wars show besides that time they dodged a bullet. And one that I'd wager unfortunately didn't do all that well, hence their decision to limit the S2 tie-ins to a ship that was in a live-action movie already. (It is, however, an absolutely sick set that I greatly enjoy, despite the inaccurate figures. I doubt lego would have made it after seeing the first season, and I'm glad I didn't pay the $70 retail, but I'm also very glad I picked it up.)

1. I  think for the Star Wars theme specifically they have started making system sets that target adults even though it still says 6-12. All but one system set this summer are from media that is 15+ years old, kids today probably don't care about galactic marines and 327th troopers. With that said, I could be wrong, I don't know what most kids are into these days. I'd find it hard to believe the prequels are still popular among kids.

2. A much better era of the theme one might say. 

3. Is two Andor sets to coincide with s2 really asking too much? You have to admit LSW set selection is pretty wack.

Ambush on Ferrix is really great and I'm glad I bought and build it. I understand what you say regarding the sets. I feel that Lego would aim with +18 sets for the target audience of Andor if they want to. But they did this already with K2SO (and played it save like with the U-Wing as both are also part of RO). Maybe they would bring the Fondor as part of the starship collection (I would rather have it as a system set with figures).

You're making arguments about what would be "better", I'm not talking about that. For the millionth time, I really liked Andor, I would be happy to get an avenger. I am not talking about what I personally desire, or what I consider to be better, but what lego is likely to do. Whether the sets were better or not, we aren't in 2010 anymore. Whether it's asking too much or not, you think tie-in sets for an April 2025 show would have released by now. 

As for the first point, dude, a new hope is almost 50 years old. Multiple generations have grown up watching it. I guarantee you a bare minimum of ten times as many children currently aged 6-12 have seen that as have seen Ahsoka for that night trooper pack, or will watch RTG for the firespeeder. (And I'd say probably a few hundred times as many have seen it as Andor- personally I would not want a 6-12 year old watching Andor). The original six movies are part of the cultural consciousness.

I believe the same- I think if anything the most likely addition to Andor sets would be an 18+ fondor, or a Cassian's house GWP if we get a Yavin MBS sometime.

I was talking about the prequels not the Ahsoka show which came out only 2 years ago. Not sure why you're bringing up ANH when we didn't get any OT play sets this summer (or year). Besides the Battle pack and firespeeder every play set this summer was from the prequels or clone wars. I don't think the prequels are liked outside of the kids who grew up with them. Do you really think 8 year old kids are asking for glup shitto troopers from a 20 year old movie that got lukewarm reviews? I think Lego knows about the fan wish lists and decided to charge $45, if that set was for kids they would've charged $30 at most. This summer wave literally looked like an AFOL YouTuber dream wave.

You know, around 2010 I could never ever enter a class room after a TCW episode aired without hearing kids celebrating this clone and that clone. And although this time is over, these white troopers still capture the imagination of many boys. While the current generation may not know the smallest clone trooper details anymore (compared to 15 years ago, when that was the case - Pink Fox would never have been accepted by them, ever), it is not complete gone from what I see. I think they could sell pretty well to kids.

And yes, to me it is evident the current wave caters to AFOLs, at least partially. The prices alone are a hint. The average monthly allowance of a 10yo in my country is between 15€ and 25€, and we are not exactly a poor country... Asking a kid to save 10 weeks for a battle pack is hardly realistic. This is the stuff either rich parents or AFOLs buy. And the CTT's price e.g. is beyond the average Chrismas present. etc. etc. It is just that some AFOLs, not all of them fortunately, pretend every quality issue can be explained because "it is for kids and kids do not care", which is as demeaning as it is wrong. 

I for one believe LSW could sell well to young audiences, it is just that see more of a general Star Wars problem to really get the kids' attention. Andor, Acolyte, Ahsoka, BOBF, Kenobi... sorry, this is not what a 10yo girl or boy wants, not at all. And counting on the parents to be exited again to exite their children seems a little desperate. Pre-Disney TCW was beloved without that. 

PS: yes, I also think Andor is a good show, and I for one enjoyed Ahsoka. I am also not a child anymore. I just work with them.

You know, around 2010 I could never ever enter a class room after a TCW episode aired without hearing kids celebrating this clone and that clone. And although this time is over, these white troopers still capture the imagination of many boys. While the current generation may not know the smallest clone trooper details anymore (compared to 15 years ago, when that was the case - Pink Fox would never have been accepted by them, ever), it is not complete gone from what I see. I think they could sell pretty well to kids.

And yes, to me it is evident the current wave caters to AFOLs, at least partially. The prices alone are a hint. The average monthly allowance of a 10yo in my country is between 15€ and 25€, and we are not exactly a poor country... Asking a kid to save 10 weeks for a battle pack is hardly realistic. This is the stuff either rich parents or AFOLs buy. And the CTT's price e.g. is beyond the average Chrismas present. etc. etc. It is just that some AFOLs, not all of them fortunately, pretend every quality issue can be explained because "it is for kids and kids do not care", which is as demeaning as it is wrong. 

I for one believe LSW could sell well to young audiences, it is just that see more of a general Star Wars problem to really get the kids' attention. Andor, Acolyte, Ahsoka, BOBF, Kenobi... sorry, this is not what a 10yo girl or boy wants, not at all. And counting on the parents to be exited again to exite their children seems a little desperate. Pre-Disney TCW was beloved without that. 

PS: yes, I also think Andor is a good show, and I for one enjoyed Ahsoka. I am also not a child anymore. I just work with them.

Well if you work with kids you'd probably know better than me honestly.

To be fair, it is still a small sample size compared to Lego's global market impact. It just that some of the things said about "kids/AFOLs" really gets under my skin, so maybe I should be a little more relaxed.
