Fair but I think sand blue would look better, even if not totally accurate. Similar to the bad batch shuttle

While I wouldn't want it for every version, I think putting it on them every once in awhile, for stuff like anniversary sets, would be nice.

I’m the weird Star Wars fan that loves the space sequences but does not get the space ships. However I’m a sucker for the playsets, I’m currently building the old 2016 Death Star and getting hyped up for the new one that comes out tomorrow. Granted, not looking forward to the price but still, my entire collection is minifigures from lego either way, I”m sorry lololol I wanted to stand against the expensive price, but fomo on the ridiculous GWP that I’ll regret brick linking later. LEGO has me. 

If the FOMO on the GWP is all that's stopping you, it doesn't appear to have any exclusive prints. You could probably bricklink the entire thing for ~$15.

TIE Avenger calls to me, across time, and space. Nothing will prevent it's journey.

It’s kind of funny because everyone here was also complaining about the black pearls expensive price, yet my local store had a sizeable line when it came out, next thing you know it sold out on the LEGO store online and then it’s back ordered until mid December. I somehow feel we are the vocal minority on those who want this and won’t admit, we shall see

Yeah I'd be fine with that, the tie fighters aren't really blue in other media outside of ESB and ROTJ, so a Tie Avenger wouldn't look right as sand blue.

That may be true for the system sets that are still primarily kids, and parents for kids. For the Icons D2Cs I think it's less of a case of "most people don't care about the price" and more of many of the people complaining just not being able to walk the talk. Either the FOMO gets to them or they're just unable to delay the gratification. 

As I've said before the $1000 DS just isn't an appealing set to me- even if I had the money and space, I'd rather it have been something like the full sphere. Something that much of a flagship for the display feels weird as just a glorified wall art diorama.

Yeah- it's really only the original trilogy models. They are essentially canonically grey at this point. Anniversary ties in sand blue would be a nice recollection of both the franchise and theme's past, but the standard triennial tie should usually be LBG.

[icm]

I think the TIE Striker did a good job of having enough sand blue accents to affect the overall color without having so much sand blue that it's overwhelming. I wouldn't want to see a TIE fighter set with a lot more sand blue than that.

I still think the Rebuild the Galaxy TIE in the 2-pack set really should have been sand blue! It would have worked so well seeing as it's not based on canon, is definitely an anniversary set of sorts, and was really similar to the previous version (so changing the colour would have been nice as just variation).

Also, the leak of 2026 Cad Bane's face is legit, right? It looks pretty good if so, albeit slightly faded due to being a light colour printed on a dark colour.

By Grabthar's Hammer, by the Suns of Warvan, we shall have a TIE!

... As soon as the Avenger appears in Ahsoka season 3, or randomly in ten years when everybody has forgotten about it except for we faithful few. The prophecy will be fulfilled on day #3650, give or take a few hundred.

Yes, this is the set that i had in mind as well. It's not necessarily absolutely accurate but personally, the Bad Batch Shuttle being blue was the best thing that could have happened. If some creative freedom is in favor of some added visual variety and away from all the blacks, whites and greys, i am fine with breaking up the usual color palette. So i wouldn't say no to some sand blue TIE Fighters, be it accents or as an complete replacement for light blue-ish gray. At least for the standard TIE's we get on a more regular or annual basis. For a special one like the TIE Avenger, I'd rather they go for the classic on-screen appearance.

it's also worth noting Lego already does this with X-wings and Snow speeders which are light gray but Lego makes them white to stand out more.

The helmet from the Mandalorian Battle pack has leaked. Looks like we could be getting Fives as well next year though I’m not sure where he would fit. Maybe the Clone Trooper Shock mech might actually be Fives?

[BrickBob Studpants]

Isn’t that the same faceprint we got last year though?

Cobb Vanth’s arm was also part of that leak! Why is it just his arm though, what happened to the rest of the torso?

Christmas AT-AT is already sold out! Such a nice set at a decent price.

It would have worked, but luckily 2027's another good opportunity and is a cycle year for the tie.

If anything I think the print fade is further evidence that it's real.

I think in general grey fits the sort of mass-produced vibe, but I do also always like the blue tone on imperial stuff, such as the dropships.

Which is a similar situation to the TIEs, too- realistically the perfect color for the red squadron X-wing, snowspeeder, and lambda would have to be an in-between of white and LBG. (We did briefly have a good color for it with the Mindstorms VLBG, but we never got the ships in that color or even the necessary parts.)

 

Cobb's arm looks good, I guess? Same with what we can see of the mandalorian helmet- I really hope we get some mata red generic mandalorians at some point, it's a weird color gap in my collection that I have plenty of shades of blue, some greens, some oranges, silvers, and- while it's too expensive for me to have more than the one I got with the book back in the day- a white. But for red it's just a bit of dark red on largely black figures. If we could get an army-builder at some point with a mata red mando, a yellow mando (one of Sabine's clan?), a pink or purple one, and a fuly black mando, it would really open up customization for what should be the most colorful faction.

Oh, you are right... I might have never noticed this design decision. As it always looked "right" to me.

Another named character instead of a generic clone would make much more sense for these mechs. Though you would think anniversary figures stay exclusive.

It is. 

Is this drip feed approach of leaking things surprising to you anymore?

Oh man, it already reached backorder status in my location. I might not be able to get one of those beauties for christmas. 

 

Seeing Cobb Vanth's got arm printing makes me hopeful Cad Bane will receive them as well. Come on, Lego... If you only include two figs, you better make them count.

No, but removing arms is a new thing for leaks  What next, a single leg?

Don't say that, you're asking for another Rex freakout.

It could always be another look for the character, hell he's worn generic phase 1 and 2 armour before so the head could be a bonus on a generic clone mech

A picture of part of the instruction manual with the set number and 1-2 generic bricks that we can now confirm are in the set.

It's only natural... They chopped off his arm and he wanted revenge. Next thing will obviously be torsos and legs with blurred printing.

This might be the start of the great phase 1 renaissance. But seriously, a new version for Fives would be great.

Mixed feelings on Fives if he’s actually included in a set next year. On the one hand, I don’t mind last year’s anniversary minifigs showing up in other sets since those won’t be available forever. On the other, it happening only two years later is supremely silly  Unless it’s not his Arc Trooper armour! That’d be a different story!

To the shock of no one, the Death Star is still in stock in the U.S.

I did stop by my local LEGO store to see it built. It really is impressive in-person. Unfortunately, many LEGO fans won't have the chance to see it in-person, which I believe is a major factor in deciding on a set like this. Further, as I've said before, LEGO really missed the mark in not offering something irresistible as a GWP. Yes, others are thankful there's nothing special locked behind a $1000 set, but from LEGO's standpoint I really think they needed a fantastic GWP to sell much at all in the initial release period. The GWP has nothing printed, no unique parts or minifigs, etc. I truly believe the set is a decent value for what you get (but not so decent one should not hold out for a discount), the display presence is undeniable, and the playability is extensive. I'm not the sort to get hung up on dual-molded legs, etc.

However, if you don't give me something compelling to buy it right away, there truly is zero reason to buy at retail or not avoid it altogether if the price doesn't drop.

They had like 20 bags with the boxed up Death Star, only a few people including myself bought it. Others were rushing for the Gingy AT-At and other sets.

i did notice many wanted to see it in person like you mentioned but the price was a factor for them. They were a few fans rolling out dollies with two and three sets then bragging about it on a vlog.

I don’t know if anyone’s Lego store offers the massive yellow bag, but consider bringing something to help, the Death Star set weighs a whopping 35 pounds, I thought it was a good idea to park far also 🤣🤣 plus I had other sets I wasn’t trying to get crushed at the same time

Buildable characters are a lie, there are only play-sets.
Through play-sets, I gain era-balancing.
Through era-balancing, I gain Andor.
Through Andor, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Tie Avenger shall free me.
