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

This is me with Clones at the moment. I'd love a world where, e.g., Bly and the Galactic Marines are good figures, but they aren't (no cloth kamas, inaccurate prints, dodgy prints, etc.) and I wish that they'd just not made them at all because now the clock is reset for when they'll next make them (and hopefully next time they'll actually be good), similar to the worries that the Fart Brick™️ might ruin the upcoming TIE Advanced.

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.

Yeah it was a bit unfair with the Death Watch having jetpacks too.

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

I suppose it would the only thing lego might release, but I think there's a lot of backing for a fondor haulcraft (though I think they're kinda ugly), and a midi-scale Cantwell-class would be sublime (brickvault has a rather nice one if I recall correctly).

I'd be all over those star-corps guys if the battlepack wasn't 1. 45 fuckin dollars 2. they had waistcapes. I can ignore some of the inaccuracies, but christ... How did these designers (who's entire job is to design this stuff) make some many obvious errors? Really the bigger issue is how they've blended the TCW and movie armor styles.

 The "Fart Brick™️" is just an amazing thing to see after hidden side, videyo, and even new-mindstorms have now failed. You've just got to wonder from so many descisions lego makes.. how many times will it take them to learn this lesson.

And the ARF contingent all forgot their AT-RTs at home. Really a poor showing for the republic.

The waistcapes aren't an inaccuracy, they're lego cheaping out. They do the same thing with snowtroopers and pretty much anyone else who's supposed to have a waistcape.

Mario seems to have worked, which unfortunately probably gave whatever research or execs they have pushing this stuff too much credibility. I maintain mario only works because it's mario- if they produced normal lego mario sets I think they'd sell even better- I know I'd have bought one or two small ones to get the principle cast and a mario kart. But since there's nothing to gauge it against and the sets do well, they think they finally succeeded with a tech line and are now trying to integrate it into everything else. :/

[CloneCommando99]

Look, we NEED a Lego Tie Avenger, the best Tie Avenger, believe me. Everybody's saying it, all over Eurobricks, the best people, they all want it. And Andor? Great show, frankly, but it needs MORE sets. The most sets, really. It's true!

Thats not the inaccuracies I meant. Parts of the armor for specific characters are explicitly the wrong color and the ammo pack on the chest has only 3/4 of the packs. Those aren't major things; just wierd that they got them wrong.

Couldn't they compare it to sonic? I wonder about the relative popularity of sonic and its success.

Ah. Yeah, those are strange, although the 327th tends to get hit with weird colors across the board. I remember the same happened in battlefront 2.

I know the ship doesn't use one in-universe, but I call BS on that. Absolutely zero chance this thing touches down at four points. Sinear's full of bantha poodoo.

Well I said the Wolfpack part as a joke but I think it's a cool ship. The main appeal for me personally is more Andor content though and I'm not convinced the series is popular enough to get a price point big enough for the Fondor. Granted I'm not particularly convinced Andor is popular enough to get anything else period, but if it happens then I think the Avenger would be a good pick for another set (also idk how often you visit the forum but it's a running joke on here atp so I was leaning into that).

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.

Yeah, I'm aware of these renders and did comment on them. I thought there were other leaks beyond that, but there weren't. Turns out i was totally up to date. Just wasn't properly reading your posting, that's it.

Yeah, that's about it, unless you missed the picture of the two mauldalorians.

August 2026 is probably the best bet for a TIE Avenger, being the wave closest to about a year and a half from release date. That or January 2026.

August wave news I don’t expect until late January to mid February.

May and June news should hopefully be imminent if we go off the last couple of years.

Not likely. We still know very little about the March wave and most of the May and June sets are based on M&G, and details about sets based on new movies tend to leak later

Well yeah, I check Reddit multiple times for new leaks on a daily basis, so I think I'm well covered. 

I wish "best bet" would equal "fairly likely" in this scenario. But it appears to be more like "very unlikely to begin with".

Yeah. It's "best bet" of, say, 12%, compared to it showing up in 1HY 2025, which was like a 0.2% chance. It's fairly unlikely either way.

Yep, yet @CloneCommando99 is going full Han Solo mode. 

 

Relatively blurry boxart pics of the January sets have leaked. 

Cad's not out of the bag just yet, but my boyo Bane is looking mighty fine so far. Unfortunately, looks like no arm printing, though. Although I think I make out some blue stripe on there, so who knows. 

And turns out we won't get the UCS Mando in his Speeder Bike. Which, of course, makes more sense in terms of the timeline. Still would have been nice to snatch that version of him in such a cheap set.

He 100% either has printing or dual-molding on that arm. Whatever else the set is, the Cad Bane figure is looking good.

 

My thoughts, now that we've seen cleaner images:

Din Djarren's 2002 toyota corolla: Love the price point, love the concept, set itself looks like bantha dung. They did it better for about the same number of pieces five years ago. I won't pick it up, especially since it has the stock mando instead of the prelim UCS one, but I will be supporting that $10 price point by getting the very similar Ghost Rider bike set.

UnJustified: Two very excellent figures with a rough but acceptable build for $20. Now mark it up 75%, for a disgusting $35. This really is the return of General Grievous's combat speeder. 

The Eldritch One, consumer of live eggs, paintballer of children, bane of frogs: I still think even at 4+ we could have had a better face. Something very simple and brick-built. But it's not a huge deal, I'm sure 4-6 year olds will like it, so I don't give it as much flack as the ones that are meant for mainline market demos.

Somehow the best set of the wave: Mech that's just fine. If this is a gimmick line we have to get, it's a good entry, it looks cool, fine. Whatever. Somehow the best set here.

The Lego Star Wars Set of All Time: Focus on Clones and Mandalorians. Underwhelming builds. A gross price. This truly is lego star wars in the modern era.

One last thing- I LOVE the mando box art. The metallic blue looks excellent. It doesn't really matter, but it's a win for lego and I'll give it to them.

I can’t. I already used that one.

 

So I found a random irl guy

Day #203 of Tie Avenger shenanigans.

 

 

Is it just me, or does Mando in the $10 speeder have a new blaster pistol mould? The barrel looks longer than normal. And I can’t see a scope. But it might just be the render.

[BrickBob Studpants]

What a strange feeling to see leaked grainy boxart images again, it’s been a while  The M&G boxart looks great I have to say, even though it doesn’t follow the current default style. Then again, neither did the anniversary sets last year!

I appreciate your optimism. In the minifigure selection, it doesn't look like printed arms. However, on the actual boxart it looks like dual-moulding to me, but it may be the blurry image quality. In my mind, it would be somewhat stupid if they prioritized Cobb Vanth over Cad Bane, making a completely new, never before done character instantly more detailed than the fourth version of an already exisiting character they introduced over 15 years ago. I feel like Cad Bane is due for some arm printing at this point. Not just because i want to see it, but because it would be a natural fit. The Bad Batch Bane was the first Cad with leg printing. Now it would be a good time to one-up the minifigure once more.

Looks similar to the oldschool revolver piece to me.

Yeah, the fresh Mando boxart reminds me of the 25th anniversary packaging. I just knew there would be no TBOBF branding for Cobb Vanth's Speeder... What little there was for this sub-theme is cursed beyond comprehension.

Battlepack builds have never been like complex but when they were ~10 quid it made sense they were like one step removed from microfighters. Now they're double the price and for whatever reason they not have builds that are dinkier than the Battlepacks from like 2009 or any microfighter.

I'm impressed you can keep track of them after so many days. Good quote.

Too close to call. You're right that it looks different, but looking at Cad's- which I'm pretty confident is the normal pistol- in the minifigure box render, I could also see it just being at a weird angle in the Mando picture. Could go either way., though I'd be surprised if they made a longer one with no scope, as it'd be a lot closer to a real firearm. I always assumed lego swapped the old pistol mold out for the 2011 one both for design language consistency with the medium and long blasters, but also to make it as cartoonishly sci-fi as possible.

It's also possible it's the hose end piece, I think they've used that for Mando before once or twice, and it is indeed longer than the 2011 pistol with no scope.

If they'd used the mass from the barricade to bulk up the speeder, they could have had one OK build, but as is they have a subpar speeder and a barricade that looks like it's from 2003.

The more I look at it the more confident I am that he's either got arm printing or dual-molding. Even on the minifigure selection, there seems to be black (or almost like a navy color) extending past his hand, and on the actual boxart there's definitely something there. I know how excited you are for Cad so I admire your restraint, but I do think he seems to have something more than plain arms here.

You are right. Although harder to notice, even in the selection you can make out a little bit of coloring there. And oh, believe me, being restrained on something you hope for, ain't exactly easy for me. But given it's Lego we are talking about, I only believe it when I see it. But since you were the one who confirmed Cad's existence to me in the first place, it's only natural you are now the one pushing me into the direction of this minifig getting a fair bit of arm printing as well. You are like a prophet of positivity to me. So I grow more confident in this regard by the minute.
