LEGO Star Wars Set Discussion 2025 - READ FIRST POST!!!

[Meaf]

I don't know why, but I just looked at the Shock Trooper mech again and it made me laugh. It's not even a bad set, I think it's probably the best set of those in the leaks? But that's why I find it funny I suppose, it's ridiculous that this is what LSW is coming to. Hopefully the rest of the year looks a bit better.

I only made one point? But I imagine the reason is this started by an insane clone campaign about the blue clones, so they figured that's what fans want most so the sub-30 dollar battlepacks are always the blue clones

Latter part, not point, but you're right, I should have clarified that I think your latter statement that lego just didn't see a reason to switch off the blue clones was more likely than your original statement that lego didn't want to cannibalize sales of the AT-TE.

Don’t worry guys. These dud sets are just to lower our expectations so they can surprise us with a banger 2HY. Which will obviously include a Tie Avenger

Which isn't actually impossible- it's not exceedingly likely that 2HY includes much in the way of smart bricks. However, I still think that its doomed to be a $60 wolfpack battle pack and big $180 UT-AT with some 41st troopers.

Is Mando's N-1 becoming the new Luke's landspeeder? In the span of 4 years we'll have had the main playset, the microfighter, the 4+ set, and now a UCS. 

I don't think that's really comparable, they've all been vastly different scales. Back when people complained about Luke's Landspeeder it was because it would be the same scale and often a very similar build every 3 years like clockwork.

You were saying? 
In all fairness, of course nobody could’ve expected a monstrosity worse than the ones from Ninjago. I’m baffled they even tried, much less succeeded at such an ugly set.

In my defense, while it is disgustingly oversized, it's still not oversized to the point of being worth $30. 

I still can't believe it's thicker at the bottom of the ostensibly circular main body than the top. Even it being fully square would have been better than that. What possibly reason do they have for this? Why not just place those elements one stud higher up and get at least slightly more accurate shaping?

No, you're totally on point with this, it is really funny because it's somehow the best set of the wave. The non-canon mech- worse than a generic non-canon speeder or something from a battle pack, because it's literally not a vehicle archtype used by any major factions in SW- is somehow the best set.

Good Tie Avengers follow orders.

Haha, true, glad someone finished it. My theory is that Turt-El was perfectly sane and just committed enough to the bit to never let up hoping we'd just snap

So I was looking at Amazon UK yesterday. I have good news and bad news.

The U-Wing and K2S0 are selling very well. About 1000 have been bought on Amazon UK in the last month each. This bodes well for a Tie Avenger (Day #195)

What’s concerning is the 327th Battlepack, albeit now discounted, has sold over 2000 copies in the last month. Which does not bode well for less clone sets and battlepack pricing in upcoming years.

 

 

(Also, Andor loving brits, the U-Wing is now around £35 on Amazon. It’s a great set and I highly recommend buying it.)

EXACTLY. Though ironically, the only BW part I ended up using was her hairpiece

Thank you! I enjoy reading your comments as well ^^

Ironic... Her hairpiece could have been used to save others, but it just saved herself. Though a fair amount of self inflicted punishment was needed to make it happen. 

Likewise. ^~^

How about... well done.

Doesn‘t matter. The important part is that non-gimmick $10 sets are back on the menu, boys!

Exactly, that's gotta be the main takeaway in the long run.

“I doubt anyone here is unaware of the difficulties we've had making Andor’s dream of Lego representation a reality. Now I hear the rumours, I know the stories - setbacks, delays, grovelling for designer funding. I met with Mara yesterday. She suggested I remind you that the Tie Avenger remains the centrepiece of her agenda. Access to stable unlimited play will transform the LSW theme and solidify Imperial authority.”

(Day #192 of the Tie Avenger project)

Now, thanks to you, I can't unsee the mental image of Boss Nass sitting in a super secret imperial meeting room doing absolutely nothing. It cracks me up just by thinking of it.

Limited data of couse and  LEGO makes dumb decisions but I think we do need to understand that this clone shit isn't like because annoying youtubers tell them too, they likely do sell really well with kids and probably more than most other factions, by most metrics of basic toy design they're intericately designed to encourage Pokemon style collecting (to be clear, not talking about army building, just buying one of the different sets). I think it'll take some big franchise rebrand like in the late 2010s with the sequels to push them out again

Day #196 of desperately craving a Lego Tie Avenger.

[BrickBob Studpants]

Someone on Brick Tap unearthed more cancelled sets based on set inventories using a comparison tool on Bricklink. This includes the following:

• An A-Wing in 2016
• A Death Star Cannon in 2018/9
• A Yoda vs Dooku set for the 20th anniversary in 2019
• A TCW version of the Bad Batch shuttle with Republic Crosshair in 2020
• UCS Landspeeder in 2021

Of course the Yoda vs Dooku set just had to be the only one to get canned for good, while all the others were actually released in a different form  Personally, I’m more bummed about the shuttle though! Sure, it made a lot more sense to base it on TBB rather than TCW, but Republic Crosshair would’ve been so much cooler!

Makes sense, the line had sets for every movie but Attack of the Clones while there were two for Empire Strikes Back. Given Leia was supposed to be in the Dooku set I wonder if the Boba Fett's starship () was a regular set in development that they subbed into the anniversary line in place of that AotC set. Maybe they swapped out the set for another 20-30 range set in the second 2019 wave the 20th stuff was a part of

My delusion-I mean hope tells me we’re getting a Dooku next year given that we got Ventress this year.

Shame about us never getting a Republic Crosshair, however I don’t think it’s too great a loss given that back in 2020 it’s unlikely he would have had a helmet with a rangefinder anyway. Still a shame though, I always thought the LSW team could have squeezed a small TBB set in somewhere with him just to complete the lineup.

The Yoda vs. Dooku set is obviously the one cancelled set that hurt the most. You combine that with the cancelled Zam Wesell minifigure a year later and AOTC has been in a pretty rough place as of late.

Yeah, this has been my perfectly fine prediction for quite a while now and I stand by it. My bet is on the Summer wave. 

 

In regards to Cobb Vanth's Speeder, it's funny how Lego is willing to drastically oversize a smaller set in order to try justifying a certain price point. But ends up achieving neither a fitting design nor make it worth the attached price tag. Even though the solution to this would be surprisingly simple... two words: SIDE BUILD. Make the speeder's design smaller like how it's supposed to look like. And add a Tatooine Vaporator or something. Would have had 2002's Tusken Raider Encounter vibes. This way, you stay more true to the source material, while arguably also delivering more value. In this instance, given my Cad Bane fandom, it's tough for me to bother too much. This will still be my clear standout set of the January wave. 

Other than that... The Battle Pack is fine. Still excited for the Maul Mandos, while being incredibly indifferent on more 332nd Troopers. Speeder looks actually pretty decent, the rest is whatever. Let's just say there have been times when I was more stoked to pick up a brand new Battle Pack. At least the price stays consistent in my country. 

The $10 Mando Speeder is something I will get later on. It obviously looks very skinny and is nothing to write home about. But will use this very cheap opportunity to upgrade my pre-beskar Mando keychain to this supposed UCS version. Don't think this set will already include the new Grogu mould. And as was talked about earlier, the significance of super small scaled, non-gimmick sets making a return, is not be underestimated. 

Last, but certainly least, I don't "freaking" know what a Star Wars Mech or buildable 4+ figure is. And I don't care.

It honestly saddens me that it looks increasingly like we won’t get Rogue One 10th Anniversary or Zero Company sets next year.

 

I didn't even know zero company was a thing. I kinda glad they're not going to do it knowing how sad I'd be when they'd ruin that R5 with their post-2018 r5 printing style.

Yes, but this was originally supposed to be a separate set, in contrast to the A-Wing vs TIE Advanced that was released instead ^^ The cancelled version had different colours in places and featured a ladder (probably as part of one of those small assistance vehicles)

Imagine if we got Savage Opress instead haha. Definitely less likely but it doesn't feel completely out of the question with how much CW and Maul stuff has been popping up lately.

Those are interesting, honestly most of these sound more like first drafts then cancelled sets in the way people typically think about them. Especially Death Star Cannon it even released in 2019 like it says the cancelled set could have.

So just the 2017 A-wing then?

Different colors in places, but still the colors of a rebels-era A-wing, not the classic ROTJ colors. Also sounds like it used the 2016 version's engines rather than those of the 2017 version.  My guess is it was simply an early prototype rebels set before the decision was made at some point to package in a TIE advanced.

But is not an R5 with inferior head printing better than not getting the R5 unit at all? 

Regardless, it is unfortunate but not unexpected that there's no Zero Company set on the horizon. Lego really stays cautious with these games, which is fair. The Jedi series deserves more sets, but many other SW game outings in the modern era have either been of dubious quality and popularity or been delayed to oblivion, even including one or two that received trailers. It's understandable why they're so hesitant to produce sets. (But again, the Jedi series is a proven franchise at this point and deserves more set coverage.)

I don't think they were attempting to make a set for each movie for the anniversary line. For one thing, it only had 5 sets, but even with those 5 one of those was EU/Generic OT. ANH didn't receive an anniversary set unless you're counting the Old Ben polybag as an ANH set (which I wouldn't- all it is is the figure and stand, and they don't all match the movie the set they come with is from anyway), and ROTJ didn't receive one at all.

[CloneCommando99]

Come out, Tie Avenger, don't let me wait
You Andor sets release much too late
Aw, but sooner or later it comes down to fate
2026 might as well be the year

Well, they showed you a hangar, told you to pray
They shot you a arc and locked you away
Aw, but they never told you the price that you pay
For things that you might have done

Well, only the good release late

As a side note I never liked the rebels A-wing, I wish they had made them separate sets so I could've got the Tie advanced alone.

That's actually the one thing the game's got going for it lego wise, is that it heavily features a clone and a mandalorian, the only two character designs lego is aware exist. JFO and (to my knowledge) outlaws never included those.

It wasn't the best design for the ship- I really don't think they've ever made an A-wing that looked as good as their design scheme could allow for, and have even tried myself to get the fuselage right- so it would have been nice if we could have gotten the advanced alone. As-is, if the march advanced really is compromised, it'll have been 20 years since the last bog-standard TIE Advanced, which is a little crazy for the ship the most iconic villain of the entire franchise flies. (Not that I'm advocating for them to immediately turn around and release non-smart versions of the smart sets- even if it annoys me that this will demolish our chances of an ANH wave in 2027 for the 50th- but it is annoying that anyone who just wants a normal advanced has been out of luck for longer than a full generation has been alive)
