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)

Not quite 20 years since we had a Tie advanced in 2009; although the fact that 2009 is nearing 20 years ago is concerning. I own the 2009 Tie Advanced and while I like it, it looks really dated next to newer Ties.

Clear pics of the Mando's from the Siege of Mandalore BP have surfaced in the usual places.

Right- had it in my had that was 06, but it was the UCS version. 

2009 Advanced is definitely incredibly dated, between the extremely blocky fuselage, the massive canopy/cannons piece, the weird prominence of DBG in the color scheme, the face that the wings are entirely black with a few grey tiles slapped on rather than any real attempt at making the grey perimeter on the upper and lower parts of the wings, etc. Plus it was the equivalent of $45 in 2025 money yet had a single figure, which people would be extremely up in arms about today.

Hmm. Very split.

The helmet print for the female mandos is near-perfect and I'll need to pick some up. This is the final piece of the puzzle to utilizing S1 sabine torsos for full mandos without buying her $60 helmet. Slap on some maroon arms and legs (maybe with the maroon TOR sith trooper leg print) and it'll be a solid clan of maroon nite owls. (Agh- checked bricklink and her torso is somehow up to around $5 a piece undamaged, so I'll be sticking with just the two spares I have from forever ago)

But everything else disappoints me a bit. The torso for the female mando, while I'm sure it's accurate to the show, just doesn't feel Mandalorian to me. It looks more like a droid torso. And the Male mandalorian's a pure update to the exact 2013 figure, being near-identical aside from the gunmetal arms and legs (With the torso being a straight upgrade with the slightly wider chestplate, and the helmet being a straight downgrade with the gunmetal visor color), which is nice for people who want to pick up that specific character model from TCW but does nothing for increasing customization.

I'm not saying lego was unwise to choose the models they did to base these characters off of, the only thing I think that's objectively wrong with them is the gunmetal visors. But for me personally, neither of these hold much interest to me. I'll pick up two copies of the female one's helmet on BL to use with my S1 sabine torsos, but I have no interest in the figures otherwise. At least I won't be tempted to buy that set and end up with EVEN MORE 332ND TROOPERS.

Yeah besides the color change the build was quite similar to the 1999 Tie advanced. Sets with one figure were pretty common back in the 2000s, I think Lego just had a different philosophy when it came to minifigure distribution. The battle of Endor set also from 2009 came with a bunch of figures because it needs them for the scene, whereas the Tie Advanced really only needs Vader. Lego really progressed a lot from 2009 to 2016 with the Tie advanced; and now almost 10 years old the 2016 Tie Advanced doesn't look dated in the slightest.

[icm]

Yeah, I just bricklinked the parts for the 2016 X1 a few months ago. It holds up really well nine years later. 

When I was a kid I didn't get the fuss about minifigs. They were just something to put in the pilot's seat and I didn't do anything with the other minifigs in the set. I still don't really do anything with the other minifigs, but now I appreciate having a good selection and distribution of characters, and I appreciate minifig contents as an important part of the value of a set.

Another Day of fun (#198)

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.

13th Iron Battalion and Boba Fett in shambles right now.

 

I hope we get sets to tie in with Jedi 3. Even if it is just a regular Imperial Battlepack. Some recognition of one of the best pieces of canon content would be nice.

 

 

 

 

The 14+ July set still vexes me. Perhaps it’s a large play and display set? A shuttle of sorts in the Milano scale would be peak. I don’t think we’ve had a 14+ set since the days of old MBS.

I've had enough for one of the usal places and have no access to it right now. Since leaks are not allowed in here... if someone would be so kind to send me a private message, I would greatly appreciate it.

Indeed there was. I was just misreading your original posting and somehow thought the whole Battle Pack got leaked... my bad. But again, thanks for taking your time. 

The Maul Mando minifigures still look good and appealing to me. But like I'm never ever tired of saying... I'm not one of the purists who needs to look after every little detail. In that regard, I seem to be easier to please than the average person in here.

Right, forgot about Tapal's legion (I think you can find the floating corpses of drowned shinies too), though in my defense I don't believe they were very prevalent in the marketing. Though I'm sure we're more likely to get an Iron Battalion battle pack than the Stinger Mantis at this point.

How much does it cost? My immediate dream would be a pseudo-UCS Lambda about the size of the Dark Falcon, but no way that's happening. If it is around that price point though, in an odd spot in terms of the release date, and 14+... I don't remember many 14+ sets, and as brickset doesn't have an age range filter I'm not about to manually scroll, but I know BD-1 was 14+... maybe a stinger mantis isn't impossible, or maybe there is a bit of a shot at the Zero Company ship (It'll be a mini-UCS Rex's Y-wing with an ARC Jesse that will have the republic cog print interrupted at some point where the mold of the helmet forces it to, causing everyone to say it's the worst figure ever made.)

 

The new adventure pack set has me a little tempted even though I own all three constituent sets, but then you realize that while $45 for $63 of stuff sounds nice, all three of those sets have been on big enough discounts to get them individually for less than that for awhile now at many retailers. The last one was $50 for $85 worth of sets, which was just too good to pass up.

I do also like that this one is "Clone trooper and mandalorian gift set", because those really are the only two factions lego is aware exist.

Probably a part of the reason why they do so many 327th sets actually as that's like the only time Clones and Mandos have interacted, John Lego can't resist

Renders of some sets including the whole battle pack did leak, as posted in this thread on november the 2nd. Not sure if you've seen them or if that's what you mean by whole battle pack.

Nearly two hundred? Congrats in (TIE) advance(D) on a most impressive milestone. Where are you gonna go now?
Ahem, I hope y’all don’t mind another cringy parody of mine.  A reflection on how far we’ve come, if you wanna add a philosophical edge.

Oh, once there was a way,

to buy TIE-Homeward.

Once there was a way,

to buy TIE-Home.

Sleep, little Avenger, do not fry,

and I will sing an off-key lullaby…

Andor slumbers fill your windscreens,

shelves awake you when you rise,

Sleep, O Commando, do not cry,

and I will sing another lullaby…

 

Clone, you’re gonna carry this weight,

carry this ‘paign a long, long time…

LEGO never give us Brasso,

they only send us creature-creations,

And in the middle of the clone nation,

they break down.

Clone, you’re gonna carry this campaign,

carry this weight a long, long time…

 

And in the end,

the bricks you take,

Is equal to the builds

You make…

 

I still like the ‘26 Maul-dalorians. I assume the visor is grey for the male because the hand-print is black too, thus the design would be less clear. The female then follows suit. I wish they’d stick to accuracy over internal design language just to keep the online crowd content; nonetheless I can totally understand and moreover accept their choice.

I await Thanksgiving for official January set images from TLG. It’d be nice if more details about March leaked by then as well.

Maybe there's hope for Zero company after all since there's a clone and a mandalorian who work together in it. Or maybe we're about to get a Jango Fett ARC trooper training set, depending on where lego stands in what makes a "true" mandalorian (Lego has no idea and just thinks it's anyone wearing mando armor. Cobb Vanth is a mandalorian to lego.)

It's not the worst thing in the world, but it breaks the design language of every other mandalorian-helmeted character they've done, which is what annoys me.

Not to my knowledge. We know other legions interacted with the mandos- the Death Watch were active on a number of planets, including the one Din Djaren's parents were killed by battle droids on. We also know Fenn Rau served the republic during the war, and that his fang fighters saved Kanan (and assumably his master's clone troopers) at some point. But I don't think we've ever visually seen clones and mandos fighting together (or against eachother) in canon besides the action on mandalore itself and possibly a panel of two of the Kanan comic?

We will, however, see that in Zero Company. C'mon, lego, it's got a clone AND a mandalorian, you can't resist...

Lego should do more entirely named character battlepacks like 2016 Bounty Hunters in addition to normal battlepacks.

Would probably be the best way for them to make Bad Batch, Zero Company and Delta Squad sets.

Beautiful song. It puts Taylor Swift to shame.

Yes. A Lambda would be amazing. Preferably with some exclusive imperial minifigs.

Any shuttle would be great. We haven’t had a good one since the 2023 gunship. And even then you could argue it wasn’t a shuttle.

Lambda, Sentinel, Nu, Zeta… hit me with as many shuttles as possible. I live for that crap. (And Tie Avenger) Troop transports and landing craft are just my favourite types of ships.

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 would rather there not be an r5-a2 figure than having gotten the disgrace that they released, yes. If they're not going to print them right, I'd rather they make something else

I think it's just the only plausible set from Andor left. The ship itself is just an afterthought

I wouldn't be opposed to it but I'd want to see an increase in the number of $20 battle packs if that was the case. Especially since 70% of them are mandalorians or clones anyway- I wouldn't want the dregs that were left occupied by characters you can't really army-build

That 14+ label is interesting, what with the last one I can remember being BD-1 and the odd release date, I don't think the Zero Company ship is impossible. Still unlikely, but not impossible.

I forgot about that. It was nice to see the Bomb Squad in open combat, though sad that the death watch essentially wiped em out- the BARCS were no match for those turret emplacements.

I personally don't really care about getting much Andor coverage specifically, but the avenger is just a cool TIE variant. Though honestly if we could get anything I'd want the ferrix partrol speeder with 2 stormtroopers and 2 army troopers.
