I mean look I'm glad to have an ally in the Cloth Defense Force fight, but I can understand the idea that there are some benefits to the other pieces that cloth doesn't have. I think cloth is for sure better than rubber or plastic for stuff like pauldrons and kamas, but at the same time I wouldn't say it's concerning for anyone to think the other way.

I think pauldrons could work better as plastic parts as they are pretty rigid in universe, but definitely agree for stuff like capes and kamas that are meant to be flexible. The current cloth pauldrons just don't look very good, Rex's is way too big and not really the right shape, and Fives' is still flat after months of the bracket method. From the one pic we have, count me as a fan of the plastic pauldron

The weird thing is they had perfect cloth parts for both of these. 

The First Order pauldron is a much better size (and the same one was used for the Imperial Artillery Stormtrooper not too long ago), and the ARC Trooper back in 2012 had a way better piece than Fives.

Day #38 of asking for the next Tie Fighter to be a Tie Avenger.

Correct me if I’m wrong but technically isn’t the next TIE fighter already coming this year as a GWP for the Death Star or am I misremembering that. I feel like I might be getting it confused with the Christmas set.

The current ones could be done better, but the nice thing about cloth is the tooling to just... make a smaller one with a different shape isn't all that expensive. As for Fives's, the plastic pauldron doesn't seem to go down around the arms any more than fives's cloth one, and another new mold will be required for the plastic ARC pauldron. Not to mention you can't put this pauldron alongside a jetpack for rex, or a backpack for fives. For me the upsides don't seem all that significant, and certainly don't outweigh the downsides.

Exactly. They have the ability to improve the current cloth pauldrons, if that was the issue.

I can no longer condone your crusade. I could support the avenger releasing alongside an advanced/reaper/defender, but not in place of. 

Ironically I think we're largely safe from that particular hellscape. Lego seems to think that in general the fandom is split into middle aged adult-but-not-afols who want ship and character models instead of traditional system sets, and gen Z and millenials who want traditional sets, but only for clones. We've largely avoided mixing the two- the majority of 18+ buildable tend to be OT.

If we’re getting a Tie Avenger it will have to probably be in 2026 or never. That’s why it should be the next one. Nothing to say the Tie Reaper or Defender couldn’t show up later in the year. It’s just that the Avenger is exclusively tied to Andor, whilst the Defender and Reaper have multiple mediums to keep it relevant.

True.

You know what I mean. I want it in Spring 2026 or ASAP, before Lego forgets Andor exists.

I agree. However, if we don't get anything at all, i won't take that as a sign of Lego abondoning Andor because of that single scene. As the chances of getting more sets of this sub-theme are already relatively slim to begin with. Speaking of slim...

 

Day #28 of asking Lego not to belittle the upcoming Clone Turbo Tank. 

For the love of the maker, please let this be a good leak week. Lest my dreams will only be filled with pauldrons, kamas and capes in all their ways, shapes and forms.

I just realised I've somehow been reading your name wrong since you started posting, somehow I read it as "PickBrick" and I am frankly quite confused as to how I misread it that badly

Somehow... mind tricks returned. 

Haha, well, sometimes your brain just doesn't properly process the spelled out info right away. Because in this instance, you've probably heard about "pick a brick" more than "BrickPrick". So you would obviously think about the former, without giving it a second thought and thus not reading it through. The same way you wouldn't perceive some typos as such, as if you got the meaning of the message, it doesn't matter... you already know what you needed to know. So your mind basically doesn't bother, too. Hope i made some sense out of it. 

 

This actually reminds me.. everybody and their mother is calling the Astromech Droid from set 75393 the McDonald's one due to the color scheme. Despite it's name literally being a wordplay for Lego and the design actually reflect their yellow and red branding.

I always thought it had too much yellow. Yea, TLG's logo has red and yellow in it, but it has WAY more red. The yellow is just an accent. On Ronald McD2, the spread is more even, which makes it look more McDonald's than LEGO. I think it's a funny bit tbf.

Okay, exsqueeze me, i'm gonna settle that it was clearly intended to reflect on the Lego logo and named after it, but looks more like the fast food killer clown. Culminating in the McDonald Lego Astromech Droid.

All of it. 

 

Just hang on to your tiny terrific plastic pieces, Plo. Just. A. Few. Bucks. Off. As in my creature feature habit of mind, Microfighters are still ten bucks. 

[Llewop]

Was kind of hoping June 1st we would get more info and pics ready for August but seems the drips of leaks that we had the past week someone’s turned the tap off :D

I know they’ll be here soon now just patiently waiting.

Turbo Tank has more than 4 figures, confirmed by carterbricks04 via legominecraft_goat. 

I would speculate a couple of battle droid, maximum.

Yeah. No one’s expecting something like Commander Keller.

He’ll obviously be in next year’s Kashyyyk Swamp Speeder 🤪

For a set of this price tag, it should definitely include more than four true minifigures, but who else could it possibly be except more Galactic Marines? Yeah, it will probably just be a couple of B1s and that's that.

Maybe not as worse as the odds were in the scene your GIF is based on. These specific odds are reserved for an official Mara Jade Skywalker minifigure.

Yeah, while I’d prefer an additional Galactic Marine, these four minifigs have been rumoured for so long it‘s hard to imagine there being anything additional included, other than a handful of B1s

I can assure you, multiple plastic accessories around one neck looks bad. Try it with one of your figures.

I've been stacking neck attachments since I was 5 years old. The official looks for the 2000's Pirates imperials was both epaulets and backpacks.

I mean each to thier own but I don't think it looks bad.

Some news, courtesy of @Lego_Minecraft_Goat:

• The CTT comes with 3 Galactic Marines and 3 B1s!
• The Snowspeeder features a green Duros after all. They‘re named Solitas and come with „chained lightsabers“. Solitas has a STAP.
• The MTT has 3 Commando Droids and 1 Pilot Droid, plus a STAP.
• The AT-ST is a proper UCS set and comes with a driver.
• Asajj still has curved lightsabers!
• The Slave One features Lama Su!

Ayy, my B1 prediction was right! Happy to hear there are 3 Galactic Marines, although we haven’t seen them yet, ha! 

The Snowspeeder sounds really good, I hope it looks it too. 

The V-19, Slave One, and MTT are the ones I’m most excited to see. If I think they’re 9/10 minimum I’ll purchase them. Sadly, the Turbo Tank sounds like a rubbish set otherwise I’d have been interested. I can also see myself going for the Buildable Ewok, again if it sounds as good as it looks - I think it will translate really well.

I don't know if LEGO Star Wars just isn't for me anymore, but this is genuinely the most boring wave I could imagine.

There's literally nothing here that would make me feel even the tiniest bit of excitement. Clones, Clones, Clone Wars, Clones.

Same here man.

All Lego has to get me back aboard the hype train is for the January 2026 wave to consist of 3 specific sets: Tie Avenger, ISB Tactical Shuttle (Melshi and Kleya being included are non-negotiable) and Army Trooper Battlepack.

Oh yeah, time to spill the beans. 

As domed as that set might be, glad the CTT comes with a third Galactic Marine (plus a trio of B1s). Now the minifigure selection is at least on par with the AT-TE. 

Since it's not Jedi Cad Bane, i won't even have the temptation to buy the Snowspeeder primarily for that... very good. 

It's disappointing the MTT won't have any B1 Commander included, but on the flip side it's certainly nice to see the return of Commando Droids. No Seperatist leader is unfortunate as well, but that was just a fever dream at this point anyways.

Don't have any interest in it. Though to see yet another UCS set is kinda interesting. Will the Death Star actually be branded as a Master Builder set?

That's a nice surprise. How about a much needed skirt piece as well? From my point of view, Lego doesn't have any excuse to not bring back Dooku alongside his curved lightsaber hilt.

Yes! I was hoping for Lama Su to be the included Kaminoan. Would have lost all hope if it was yet another Taun We. But now it's one less prequel character to wishlist. 

Yep, this is already the good leaks week i was requesting not even 24 hours ago.

You have no idea where i am! 

[Llewop]

I’d sacrifice Ki Adi for a 4th marine imo unless they are going to pop up in another set I kind of want more guess have to be eBay/bricklink. 

MTT sounds pretty good as well imo. First time I’ve had a chance to get a CTT and an MTT and like the coruscant guard gunship I think it’s cool that’s it a different variant to the norm.

if Ventress has the curved lightsabers that for me 100% guarantees we are getting a Dooku in the near future. I’ll definitely pick the V19 on sale. 

like the sound of the RTG snowspeeder. I bought the sandspeeder years ago and hoped they were going to do one for each terrain type lmao. Interesting to see how the speeder bike works with the snowspeeder?

again might pick up the slave 1 on sale. Maybe save a few of these sets for next years May the 4th tbh. 

AT-ST might possibly potentially maybe if I find some money from somewhere be my first UCS set, they are one of my favourite vehicles but I’d need to see some more detailed pics and maybe a few review videos before I go mad and buy one. 

Happy for those who’ve wanted a buildable ewok but it’s not for me. 

Set wise imo one of the best waves we’ve had in a while in terms of what we are getting. We are getting an MTT and a CTT remake but with new designs and colour scheme(at least for the MTT). 3 different Jedi, new pauldrons, return of the commando droids. Slave 1 which I think Bobas one at this scale was fantastic (I’m a fan of downsized sets if done right). The only thing that let it down are the price some of these are far too expensive for what they are.

i know there are few that are disappointed in the lack of OT but maybe next year we might get something very OT heavy to make up for it. I think the nature of the SW beast now is we can’t make everyone happy and even if it was perfect nobody hates things more than a Star Wars fan does :D

I think each of the three things works best from a different approach. The plastic pauldrons sound good to me. Capes are one area where they've not come up with a better solution than cloth ( though I have preference for the type of cloth! That being the slightly sponger material they started using in 2014). And for Kamas I still think printed is best (obviously going all the way around with dual moulding too would be even better), the cloth kamas were too bulky and awkward looking IMO and the 2008 plastic ones were cool for the time but really limited the poseabilty of the figs using them. A lot of detail that is at the same level as clone kamas is printed on in other contexts and themes, so printed ones feel more consistent to other Lego minifigs to me.

[CallumPears]

Hope the commando droids are done well. I was never much a fan of the older ones being done fully in dark brown. Getting the orange highlights on there would be great. Also wasn't a fan of the legs being the SBD ones as their hands couldn't sit at their sides properly. Maybe a new torso would be the ideal solution but I doubt they'd do that. 

Glad to hear about there being 3 Galactic Marines rather than just 2 - hopefully that'll bring the Bricklink price down a little since I'll probably not get the set as I already have the 2010 Turbo Tank and a very good custom Bacara figure, but I want some of the Marines (pending the leg design; we already know they won't have kamas but there are other aspects which they could also mess up). Fingers crossed that they get some sort of cheap release, whether a magazine gift or next year's Advent Calendar.

Yeah anyone who bought the Jedi/Clones battle pack already has a surplus of Ki-Adis lol. While a terrible choice for a battle pack, that one was basically a perfect minifigure so not sure there could be any improvements that'd make me want him but I get including him since it is his legion.

Ironically Boba's Slave 1 was the only downsized set I really didn't like. The regular system ones were already fairly downsized so that one was far too small. I want the Lama Su figure, but otherwise if the rumours are true about the Jango figure not having arm printing this is another set I might pass on (ah who am I kidding it's a Slave 1 set of course I'll buy it; got every other version so far, but I'll definitely wait for a discount. Boba's was regularly on 30% off so hopefully this one's the same).

Yeah I quite liked that too, though it didn't work well for some figures (basically anyone who didn't have a helmet or a hood, e.g. my Krennic's cape always made him look like he was wearing a Shakespearean ruff or something). Main thing is that it didn't crease. 

13 minutes ago, Agent Kallus said:

Gonna have to disagree there. The cloth kamas are some of my favourite accessories they've ever made and the shaping is perfect. While it probably would be better than what they're doing now I also don't think dual-moulding would work too well since you'd have to make the hips the same colour too, it wouldn't have the bulkiness (which is something I actually liked about the old ones), and we'd definitely have issues if they tried to print white on the front of the legs of a figure with a black kama. 

Also making them separate pieces meant it was a lot easier for me to make custom figures with them.
