Yup, I think that's gonna be the issue. It seems cool, it honestly seems like decent value in terms of PPP/PPG/PPVolumeofstuff, but at the end of the day $1000 on a single set is $1000 on a single set, no matter whether or not it's good value.

This is the Lego Star Wars theme in a nutshell to me. I like a lot of the actual sets, but i rarely like the pricing. Which is admittedly still better than the other way around, because quality should be the top priority. But yeah, i always thought releasing the first ever $1000 set and making it look worthwhile to people, would be a near impossible task for Lego. As the moment you do something unprecedented is usually met with shocked reactions regardless. I don't even know what aspect would make the UCS Death Star worth a thousand bucks. The build is huge and well designed for the most part... if you can tolerate the design decision to make it a Death Disc. The minifigure selection is very solid, but the execution is not up on the level it's supposed to be. So giving fans the minifigures as accurate and detailed as they deserve, might have helped tremendously. You don't wanna count the compromises being made in a set of this scale after paying them a fortune... No, you want to forget the price as soon as you open the box and having an awesome time putting this thing together. Like in a "yeah this was a huge amount of money, but i am satisfied with what i got" kinda way.

So it looks like the D23 showcase is over. And what new things were revealed? Absolutely nothing.

According to IGN they showed the same exact trailer for M&G as SW Celebration and last year’s D23. And they still haven’t released it to the public. What is the point?

Nothing for Maul Shadowlord either.
 

Disappointing.

Honestly I wouldn't be too broken up if we get a Wolfpack battlepack next year but I would hope that if we do that's the last of the clones we see for a while, at least in BPs. Really would like a decent regular imperial or rebel one sometime. Some less common factions would be great too, maybe a generic jedi one? I suppose there's a decent chance we might get an imperial one next year for M&G, if nothing else.

Here's the thing- unlike a lot of star wars sets nowadays, I don't think the death star is overpriced. I think it does legitimately represent solid value for the cost. If they split the dioramas and figures up to like 20 sets totaling $1000 between them, I think the value would be there- I mean, with this single $100 set the value is hypothetically there. I just don't see too many people dropping $1000 on a single set.

See, I like the wolfpack, and unless it's the $45 battle pack I'd probably pick at least one up, but there's so many "just one more legion" style comments, when I think all that does is continue the oversaturation- they're already doing partial repeats this year with the half-332nd battle pack. I think you just pause on the clone battle packs 1-1.5 years, then you drop a wolfpack, then the next year a 41st, then a 212th or popping back to 501st or something. If we can just get it down to one a year, I'd be happy.

If one of those may/march sets is a battlepack I do have faith that it’s going to be an OT one. But if it has to be clone at least let it be a new legion or the marines in a cheaper set so we don’t have to buy that monstrosity. I’m holding out hope for maybe a ATT or AT-AP next year I know we’ve had them recently but I sold my last versions for really good price back in the day and I’d love a chance for a newer one. But watch that potential battlepack be a 501st one. I mean next year it will have been 6 years since the last one came. 

More images of the Death Star because of an apparent eBay listing. The more I see it the more I want it but man the only way I’d get it is if there is a lotto win or I win won of these lego competitions that keep popping up online in the U.K. 

Mando and Grogu film is intriguing as it feels like it’s so quiet news wise. There’s four actors on IMDb for the film plus rumours of a couple of others in the film. I wonder when we will know more. As those films sets hold a lot of potential imo.

Well, if i were to humor the idea the Diorama Collection format, fittingly the Emperor's Throne Room set, is not clearly overpriced to begin with, then... yeah, maybe? But i don't, so i don't. 

I also don't think ripping away the total minifigures from a premium priced set, splitting them up and applying those to a variety of smaller system scale stuff works very well in favor of justifying or defending the value for the former. Even if it ultimately ends up being the same price, the amount of minifigures would never match properly, because it ain't a proportional process of adding them from regular releases to huge premium products. I mean, taking the 38 minifigs from the UCS Death Star would leave you with less than two figs on average for your suggested amount of sets. Since every set would retail for 50 bucks, does this sound realistic to you? No, it would be more like at least 60 figures in total. Unless we are talking only talking Dioramas with three figs per $100 like the aforementioned Throne Room.

What a waste. I liked my initial idea much better. This joke aside, you can definitely do much better than this. I don't know what's the point of this, either.

I think the UCS Falcon and AT-AT are a much better value, the death slab simply isn't cool enough to warrant a $1k price tag.

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.

I like this idea. If Lego thinks it is too cheap they could add the escape pod and some vegetation and make it $25.

I don’t want to sound like a clone fanatic but the only 2026 set I am interested so far is the Super Commando/Clone battle pack.

Nah. It won’t be because Lego can’t use Battledroids to jack up a $40 price in a OT Battlepack. Unless… Imperial Ghorman Shenanigans BP?

 

Yeah, it’s annoying. It doesn’t even look like there are any SW projects until then. I honestly think the decision to not release it for May 4th is bogus now that Doomsday’s been delayed, especially in the UK since May 4th 2026 coincides with Mayday Bank Holiday. Like, isn’t a SW movie for SW day a good marketing strategy?

 

 

I pray for March news soon. Both DC and SW.

Well it’s releasing on the other May bank holiday but you are right weird not on May the 4th itself. It’ll make loads of money regardless but just find it weird how they’ve been showing the same trailer for at least a year? Remember seeing it leaked from some sort of convention or celebration a while ago. Just hope to hear more about the sets for this film

Yea I get clone fatigue but ngl I’m rooting for a new Wolfpack Trooper and P2 Commander Wolffe for the $44.99 spot, it’s the last legion I really want. It’s also really the only thing I want from Lego Star Wars that feels somewhat realistic, I own all the OT stuff I want and all the PT stuff I want will probably not get made (Theed Palace, Geonosis Droid Factory, Geonosis Arena, Bounty Hunter pursuit remake, yada yada) Zero interest in Disney era Star Wars besides Andor.

I'm only really talking about this forum since I don't look at many other online Lego fan spaces, but the only legions I've really seen anyone mention wanting at this point are Wolfpack and the 41st, the latter of which still doesn't come up very often. I suppose my larger point though is just that if we have to keep getting clone BPs, I hope we see the Wolfpack at some point relatively soon. Not sure how the August wave has been doing but even if it bombed (and doesn't pick up during the holidays) we're probably still getting quite a few clones next year since sets are designed well in advance of their release, so I'm just personally hoping the wolfpack shows up in some capacity. If we can get a break for a year or two that's fine as well, I'm just not anticipating it :pir-yoda:.

I think you hit the nail on the head here. I think in terms of objective value of plastic/pieces/figures/prints/what have you, the Death Star is good value (at least in terms of modern era licensed lego). By price per piece and all that the value is there- it's better than the AT-AT, in fact. But while it might not be overpriced, it's designed for the wrong price point, if that makes sense.

Like, if lego made a 1:2 scale statue of the Mandalorian Fleet Commander that was $1,000 for 20,000 pieces and came with 55 unique mandalorian minifigures, the objective value in terms of price per piece/ppg/figures/etc would be there. But who would buy it? As you say, it's not cool enough to warrant a $1k price tag, regardless of if the value is there.

The death star isn't like the turbo tank, where it's simply overpriced for what's in the box. The concept of the set is just set at too high of a price point for what most people would consider spending on the idea. If the set was half the size, had half the figures, and was half the cost, I think it'd stand a much better chance.

I mean, if it's for the clones, why not just buy the last 332nd pack? At least around me I routinely see it on shelves for $16, about 30% less than the next one's going to retail for, and you get four 332nd troopers instead of 2.

I see plenty, just like last year there was a lot of "Just need the 327th, then we can pause.", but as to your larger point, I think the issue is the premise. I'm not saying that if we have to keep getting clone BPs, I'd rather a legion besides the wolfpack- I'm saying the opposite. I like the wolfpack, but I think we need to stop getting so many clone BPs. We've already started repeating legions. The argument could be made (and I'm sure it shortly will) that we've never had a true battle pack of normal 501st troopers in the new helmet-holed style, or that it's been 5-6 years since the last normal 501st battle pack. Or that legions like the 212th and galactic marines haven't had a normal battle pack. At least anecdotally, it seems that after the initial sales rush, the clone battle packs are starting to shelfwarm hard- I STILL see the 332nd and 501st specialist packs at my local walmart for $16. I would hope that at this point lego's got enough data to see the diminishing returns without watching the new august wave wither- especially because clone oversaturation is hardly the only issue with the 327th and galactic marines sets.

But sure, if we're in a scenario where we're doomed to battle packs being exclusively clone troopers with occasional mandalorians, getting Plo's Bros would be one of the less bad options. Certainly better than another 332nd pack while one's still warming shelves.

I do agree. I think the justifier had the same problem, it was a similar size to sets in that price range but not that cool of a ship.

 

I think if we get anymore clones they should be phase 1. Since 2014, you could count the amount of sets that include P1 clones on one hand.

Yes, i agree. Especially the former is unanimously praised to be an all-time great set. Whereas i think the UCS Death Star could have been on the same level, but just falls short in areas where it absolutely shouldn't. The things is, if your minifigures are lacking in a classic $240 UCS set, it ain't that big of a problem, because everyone i. Their right mind would ~99% buy it because of the big build. So it's easier to see past those flaws. But when you have a UCS set that is basically a MBS offering in everything but name, so the play factor is a bigger priority, it's shortcomings becomes much more glaring, because the figs are much more of a main draw. 

 

On another off-topic note, i recently received a Coca Cola and to my surprise... Queen Amidala from The Phantom Menace was on it. Turns out you can find various characters from the saga on their cans and bottles since a couple of weeks. Which i find kinda interesting, as there is no Star Wars related project to promote right now. But it still reminds me of the marketing campaign they had with Pepsi when TPM was advertised literally everywhere.

Yes, the justifier's a great example. It's value is fairly consistent with other (pre-juggernaut) sets at that price point, it's just not a ship most people would want to spend $160 on regardless of value.

I'd agree, but with the asterisk that whatever the phase, the total volume needs to be significantly decreased. I understand why we mainly get phase 2- they're from the more popular projects (ROTS and later-era TCW as opposed to AOTC and the earlier seasons, which aren't as well-regarded), and since 3/4ths of the figure would be essentially the same between the two it would be even more aggravating if they were putting out large quantities of both. But I always kind of preferred the phase 1 design in a vacuum, I love that rocketeer fin, and I wouldn't mind seeing the captain and lieutenant or something pop up in a spider-droid or snail tank somewhere.

Of course, for the price lego charges, they could also just include a second set of helmets in some of these sets...

Yeah this is just a thing that brands do. Disney specifically has a big deal with coca cola- I remember back in 2023/2024 they did a Marvel set of various red characters. I think the logic is even if there's not a specific project to promote, there are people more likely to buy the coke if it's got a character they like on it, and it also functions as free advertising for the star wars brand as a whole. This is something star wars often does, and ties into lego sometimes- there was a big cross-promotion between merch brands for a "year of the sith" or something last year, and while the Evil Falcon wasn't branded as part of it if nothing else it's a fun coincidence.

Oh okay, i wasn't aware of the big Disney deal with Coca Cola. Always understood the appeal of increasing chances of people buying certain products if their favorite character is featured on it. I remember a younger me getting cereals (Kellogg's you know?) which would come with all sorts of goodies for your licensed themes, Star Wars obviously among them. Was just wondering about the timing, but i guess it's just about keeping the mindshare of the brand going during this sorta transitional, quite phase. 

 

Anyways, you guys already asked about your favorite 2025 set and to my surprise, due to a lack of purchased sets, a lot of you said Plo Koon's Jedi Starfighter Microfighter. So now i ask, and that might go hand in hand with that, what's your favorite minifigure of the year so far? And if it's Plo Koon, do you expect that to change before 2026?

For me the top three are:

  • Aayla (the best 2025 minifig by a country mile)
  • Clone Cadet
  • ISB Tactical Agent

I don't own any of them though. The Clone Cadet has a very useful torso and legs for kitbashing. I imagine some kind of corporate security trooper (with different arms and heads and a helmet).

Since I bought only the microfighter, Plo Koon is the only 2025 minifig I own. Depressing actually :sceptic:

Gotta disagree about Aayla. To me she's a definite downgrade from the 2017 version (stupid things like the lips being the wrong colour, and also while the detail on the legs is more vibrant she's now missing the detail of the strings hanging off her belt). 

I haven't actually bought a single new set yet this year except for the Kamino training GWP, which I got for £20 on eBay (I was also hoping they'd put the torsos on PaB like what happened with the LotR Nazgûl but alas it wasn't meant to be). Good set even if the KE-8 enforcer isn't super accurate (proportions and some details are a bit off), and the cadets are fully-flawless minifigures.

If we count every figure this year, it’s an easy to compile list for me (in no particular order):

  • Babu Frik
  • TROS Senate
  • Galen Erso

They have been my top 3 most wanted minifigs for a while, so it’s no surprise they also make the top of this list :grin:

Yeah, exactly, that sort of thing. Of course there's always more marketing when a new project is out, but even if seeing the coca cola can won't get anyone to watch a non-existent new project, it might get someone to rewatch one of the movies with their family that night on disney+ or something. It's a smart move from a brand perspective and from my perspective I just like seeing star wars stuff around (even if in this particular example I don't drink soda.)

 

Out of revealed minifigures, I think we've got everyone but Gingerbread Vader (who I do think leaked), so that's a wrap unless the GWP has a new TIE fighter pilot print or something. I haven't bought any of this year's sets, but looking on brickset, I'd have to go

1. Nightdeath trooper (Deathnight trooper? that could work, it's homonym for Death Knight, at least in english, which is very thematic). What can I say, I'm a sucker for the Kintsugi look, and the gold cracks look even better on black armor.

2. Young Ahsoka - good representation of the character, nice to get her with midi-legs, solid printing all around

3. Plo Koon - He's in 3rd only because the character itself wears fairly basic robes, so there's not a ton to write home about on the torso and legs, but the new mold is excellent. 

Honorable mentions to the printed arms AT-ST pilot (almost the perfect version of the character, but it sorely needs the visor to actually go on his face), Jango Fett (excellent detailing, but I'm still not sold on the new antenna mold and the colors remain off), and Commander Bacara (I think his helmet is too big, but otherwise looks great.)

Honestly at this point for consistency I'd prefer P2, but if they're the $45 battle pack I'm not going to get them anyway so I don't really have a horse in the race.

My favorite sets are the Acclamator and the Kamino Training.

I like all the new clones but my favorite minifigure is Lama Su.

Here’s another thing I don’t get about Clone Army building culture. Why are they amassing legions of phase 2 clone troopers on grey base plates and demanding more P2 sets, when it’s P1 we see in formation on that scale. With the only exception being the operation Knightfall.

I’m honestly of the opinion that P2 is more suited for army building at most a platoon or company. P1 makes more sense to make battalions out of because of the scenes in AotC.

 

I just don’t get it.

Just saw the leaked DS pics. So… that’s it? That’s the big $1000 set? 10 dioramas stacked to look like a slice of the DS? :sceptic: And sure, it has a crap ton of figs, but at 9000 parts it just doesn’t feel worth it. The last one also had a lot of figs, but it was way cheaper and had a lot more scenes, plus it actually felt like you were buying the whole Death Star due to the spherical shape. I think if the backside of this one was a detailed model of one half of the DS, it would be intriguing, but as it is it feels like a less interesting version of what we’ve had before, so I’ll be saving my money.
