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

[Nokturn]

Man, that playscale Slave I is... disappointing, to say the least. It's basically a straight recolor of 75312, a set that came out 4 years ago. I would've expected at least some improvement in that time. In some ways, it's actually a downgrade. The shaping on the lower hull seems even blockier. And other than the seismic charges, it lacks play features like hidden weapons once again. They didn't even slap stud shooters on it this time. Obviously it was never going to be as good as 75243, but I was honestly expecting something closer to that level even if was smaller. This is pretty much the worst possible outcome for this set. The only truly good thing about it is the new Lama Su minifig.  

 

I swear, the original Jango Fett's Slave I from 2002 will simply never be topped. And yes, that includes the UCS one. The modern sets just simply fail to capture what makes the ship so cool in-universe, IMO.

Dellow felegates. What? How can you do this? This is outrageous, it's unfair. How can you be a driving factor of your multi-billion economic environment and not be treated like a master costumer? That's... why i'm here. As you and the consumer share a symbiont circle, what happens to one of you, affects the other, you must understand this. 

Though you were right about one thing, beloved Billund billionaire bubble, the negotiations were short. Not just for the men. But the woman and children, too! They are like cash cows to you... and you exploited them like cash cows! Because these adult collector federation types are cowards and Republic credits are no good out here.

You were the chosen company! It was said that you would destroy bad business design decisions, not join them. You were to bring balance to big flagship sets, not leave them in plastic pieces. You were my brother from another mother, Lego. I loved you. But i don't know you anymore! You are breaking my heart. You are going down a path i can't follow. Because of what you've done. What you plan to do. Sounds an awful lot like a dictatorship to me. Well, if it works...

 

I knew this had to happen, so i came prepared, but by the love of the maker... The new Clone Turbo Tank looks totally TINY. 

[Tariq j]

Those sets do look very good. TCW Obi Wan looks excellent as does Ventress. 

Love the inclusion of Lama Su in Slave I. It seems to be a slightly upscaled version of the 2021 version. It looks alright but I do think the best version of the Slave I was the 2019 20th Anniversary one (excluding the UCS versions). I wish they’d gone down that route instead. 

The Snowspeeder looks kind of fun. It’s hilarious how we’ve waited years for a new cockpit piece and then when it finally comes out it’s in yellow . On the plus side I suppose when we do get a regular Snowspeeder it will feature the new piece. 

 

[CallumPears]

Bacara's helmet looks great (though I don't see the red dots it's supposed to have? Hopefully just due to the image quality) but his torso not so much. The extra chest armour he has should be similar to what Airborne troopers have, but instead it's absolutely tiny. 

Also as with the Marines he's missing his pauldron.

Yeah same. The 2021 Slave 1 is actually my least favourite of all the downsized ships, since the playscale Slave 1s are *already* downsized. The 20th Anniversary one is easily the best playset they made and a Jango version of that would've been great. 

[ArrowBricks]

Sadly, Jango’s Slave One was never going to be like the 2019 version. It pairs nicely with Obi-Wan’s JSF. 

MTT looks good, Turbo Tank looks ok if you can get past the downscale. V-19 feels a bit empty…maybe it’s lacking a Republic insignia. 

Sadly, I am not impressed by the Ewok which is a shame. Satisfied with the other sets, and I can see myself buying a few which is always a bonus.

Yeah, it very much looks like the 2021 set. I do like the addition of the seismic charge, though, and Lama Su is great. Predictable, but it does look like Jango is lacking arm printing. I wonder what the cart/stand will look like. Hopefully that’s not a repeat, too. For the stud shooters, it looks like they just moved them down to replace the bottom turrets. 
 

 

[Max_Lego]

The T-47 looks ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! Better than all the previous versions taken together. All I need to do now is to wait for a proper-colored version of this new canopy to appear.

This V-19 looks... OK. I think I need it anyway 

Wicket (I accidentally typed: Wicked at first) looks CURSED AS HELL 

[RODDY]

MTT is easily and by far the best set here, build is good and the figs are great. Buildable Ewok is fire as a ROTJ stan, I would love to own it one day. Maybe I’m spoiled by the UCS Jango Fett but that this one doesn’t do it for me. Yay for Lama Su. V 19 is fine just not a set I care for. As for the Turbo Tank… I don’t want to hear anyone complain about the 2016 one ever again cause this one is abomination. Bacara and Galactic Marines are cool but a $160 for that is an insult.

They've been doing them in lacquered silver, not LBG, since 2009. It just looks like that to me. Maybe a little shinier than usual since it's a render. 

...Golly, that's one of my worst brain farts in awhile. 

[Agent Kallus]

I think most of these look pretty great! The unfolding droid rack on the MTT is a clever idea but it also takes up a lot of space and so could be replaced with a simpler design to hold more droids.

The Turbo Tank does look kinda wrong. Too small for the price definitely! I got the 2010 one as my first bricklink purchase back in 2013 and this doesn't compare. 

I know the it's very clone heavy but overall this looks like a great wave!

[icm]

The Ewok is cursed.

The MTT looks really good for $90. Wait, what, it's $160?

The Clone Turbo Tank also looks really good for $100. Wait, what, it's $160 too?

The most interesting thing about the V-19 is the trans-yellow windscreen. I think it's a new mold that updates the old classic windscreen shape with a new attachment point at the front. If so, I hope it doesn't displace the windscreen that's been used since 2011.

I was hoping the Jango Fett Slave I would be larger than the 2021 Boba Fett Slave I, but it's not. That means it's no longer a potential day-one buy, but something to get at a discount months or years from now.

The Hot Rod Snowspeeder looks terrible overall, but I'm glad to see it finally has a new bespoke windscreen designed specifically for the T-47. Because it has a black frame and trans-yellow glass for now, I expect to see a lot of Blacktron T-47 builds in the near future. I hope there's another ESB Snowspeeder in a couple of years that has the new windscreen with a white or light gray frame and trans-clear glass, even if the build for the next ESB Snowspeeder is likely to suck just as badly as the build for the Hot Rod Snowspeeder sucks.

It’s a great wave every set is a fresh take there is nothing that hasn’t been done recently. Yes it’s very clone heavy but it’s not the 501st, it’s not Rex and Cody, it’s legions that aren’t as common knowledge to the casual fan and legions that have never been done before. First Jango figure in a cheap set in years. The only thing with this wave is it’s expensive extremely for what some of these sets are. Going to need some very good gwp or points offers to tempt me to get them from Lego direct 

[Clone OPatra]

This is an absolutely awesome wave for prequel era fans.

People have waiting a looong time to get the likes of Bly and Bacara, and stuff like a CIS MTT, a new V19, Lama Su, Jango again (in a smaller set), an early season CW Obi-Wan (who looks amazing), a proper Clone pilot.

But then the compromises that have been made on the larger sets especially, compared to their prices, really take the wind out of the sails.

[Meaf]

New sets look pretty good for the most part (the big exception is the Turbo Tank, which looks pretty small and ugly) but I just don't know that I can see myself buying much of this wave. I've always wanted a MTT but it's pretty small for the price and only holds six droids. Maybe if it's on sale later but even then I'm not sure. It's a shame though because most of the new minifigures are fantastic, I'd love to get some Obi Wan, Ventress, and some of the new clones if they came in sets I were more interested in.

[Swordy]

CLONE WARS OBI-WAN.
I've been waiting for this figure since I watched TCW a couple years back, and my oh my does he looks spectacular. The detail all over him... he looks perfect. Ventress in purple is welcome as well.

The front of the V-19 looks ugly (the dark red sections should be more closer to the white protrusions in height) and the wings are too thick (2 studs ought to have been the maximum if at all). Hopeful that the wing mechanism is still in place.

Yep, sums up my thoughts better than I would've.

Oh yes... I needed only one look at that, that thing for it to haunt my dreams and nightmares alike. 

 

When I heard the name "Force-Burner" in the leaks, I started thinking about the story implications of such a title... then I saw the flame paint scheme and realized it's just a hot rod.
Windscreen looks perfect. What was once a dream has become an exciting reality for any Empire fan. However, I'm disappointed that we still receive the same winglet pieces and the same blaster elements. It's not an 18+ set, no, but a bit more complexity in the design would've been appreciated. The gap between the 2x4 and the 3x3 wedges in the front is unsightly.

Funny that they reversed the play functions, installing canon-accurate weapons at the area closer to the cockpit, then throw stud shooters down at the end.

However, I'm hopeful it's just the weird wrapped angle from this catalog photo. Looking between the Starship™ and the leaked photo, this model is looking exactly like a recolour of the 2021 set.

 

I'm going to need better photos of the Turbo and MTT before I can even have a judgement on those sets. Nonetheless, it's good to have confirmation on the figs and how they look.

I know this has been the topic of an ongoing controversial debate on this forum. And i know this probably isn't gonna help your case either. But despite all that Clone Extravaganza, you at least gotta admit the upcoming summer wave features a lot of long overdue remakes. The last iterations of the MTT, Clone Turbo Tank, especially V-19 Torrent and Jango's Slave 1 all happened ages ago. You are free to disagree, dislike and disregard these sets due to PT/TCW fatigue, let alone buy anything at all, but you can still also acknowledge that aspect of it.

Yeah, the pricing is definitely the worst thing about this wave overall.  Though we've not got the UK prices yet so I can maintain a smidgen of optimism that they'll be comparatively decent. I mean the US prices hasn't been static even before release so the higher prices might be more there than elsewhere in general (though the conversation rates generally had it cheaper over there anyway, but I think that might've been because they hide the tax from their prices and add it on at the very end in the USA).

Dual moulding is a double edged sword for leg because now that dual moulded kegs exist, I can see so many figs here that would benefit from having them. Kenobi, Ventress and all those Kama wearing clones! ( Though like I've said before for the clones especially they'd need to start using thicker coats of white paint again! ).

I think the Aayla figure might be medium blue? 

If so I'll be Bricklinking an extra head to replace the CW one on the 2010 figure.

Yeah fingers crossed. They do throw some curveballs in occasionally (e.g. when the Phantom with Thrawn was $30 but £40 for some reason) but hopefully these ones will be reasonable 

[Lordhelmet]

New sets look good overall, figures seem pretty good too. I’m passing on this group but happy for those that are planning on buying as I think some good choices and effort was made.

 

set prices are getting crazy for what we get.

 

can we get the Death Star plans?

 

voting for a tie avenger still.

Yeah it's an easy pass for me, I do like those galactic marines though.

 

V-19 looks decent and the figures are amazing, will probably wait for a sale. MTT exterior is nice but is heavily lacking in droid capacity.

I think the biggest problem with this wave is the price for the MTT and tiny tank, and lack of cloth waist capes. Just need to see the AT-ST now.

I used to be a big critic of this year’s offerings, but I’ve changed my mind, and it’s not just because of Babu Frik (tough it does help considerably)  The new Clone minifigs, especially the new pieces, all look fantastic and the builds, while on the small side, are all really well realised.

My main criticism was always the lack of variety, which is still true in a way, but actually seeing the sets made me get over that  The other early point of criticism was my feared lack of new pieces, and OH BOY was I wrong about that!

[CloneCommando99]

Sets actually look a lot better than I was expecting. The Turbo Tank and MTT do look like solid £100-110 sets.

Figs are overall good.
General Kenobi is just 🥵. I really hope he shows up in another set because the V-19 is one of my least favourite star fighter designs.

Ewok was a waste of a set slot. And a horrific reminder that we somehow can’t just ignore JediBricks as a ‘leaker’. 

One minor nitpick which is going to make the Clone Bros insufferable: Bly doesn’t appear to have his torso stripe. The only exclusive about his figure is the helmet. That is not the laziness we want to accept in an already overpriced to heck set.

Wait, who said the hot-rod T-47 can carry a speeder bike? You're right, that sounds like something "vaguely T-47 shaped". At this point it could still be a banger of a set if I can somehow talk myself into thinking that it resembles classic nonlicensed Space sets of yore, but that's *unlikely*.

And now that we've seen images.... if you told me the only 2025 LSW set I'd be considering besides the ~$20ish gimmick ones (and on discount too) was an RTG set, I'd have called the aslume. But somehow THIS gets the new cockpit, and the sandspeeder's A-wing wings (those stickered hot rod wings are going to be useful for mocs)... I still probably won't buy it, to be honest.. but I definitely consider it the best set of the wave. This is awesome.

I think the V-19 was due for a remake though, it's been 17 years since the last one. I think the only unnecessary clone set this summer is the 327th battle pack, overpriced set because Lego knows clone obsessed people will buy 10 of them anyways.

I agree- again it's not so much the set in a vacuum as the set in the context of the year as a whole.

I would say you'll lose because lego can make green lantern figures, but they seem to be unable to for some reason.

 

Alright, wave images. Let's see:

Mustard Legion vs Funko Pop: I can't find a good image of this one, all I can see are the figures and that the mortar from two of the last battlepacks is back with the same identical build. I used to like the 327th, but going off the older leaked image, this is a pass. 6/10

"If you're gonna ride, Danno, ride in style!": Now, this is podracing. I cannot wait to see a normal T-47 using this cockpit element. Very exciting. And between that piece, the apparent extra height this has for what is assumably a play feature, and a STAP... it's still overpriced, but probably the best deal in the wave. Also like that they've kept the trend of other-environment T-47s having the A-wing wings from the old kenner kitbash. 9/10

2008: Both the republic figures are excellent. Not a fan of ventress, but then I wasn't a fan of that design of hers in-universe either. The ship itself looks GREAT, and another one where the price doesn't seem... awful? It's tough for me to tell but I'd see lego charging either $50 or $70 based on how big it actually is, and the real price is in between. 8/10

"Jango Fett's Uyghur One": Yeah, no. Lama Su is cool and all but I'm not buying the same downscaled "Boba Fett's starship" in a different color for $20 more. 7/10

Shuma-Gorath the Eternal Demon: Lego seems to be competing with itself to make the most cursed face possible on these statues. Chewbacca took a big loss to Wicket here, this might be worse than the 2018ish Yoda. I will never understand what compels people to buy these. λ/10

I am discriminating against this set based on the color of it's plastic: This is a perfectly fine $100 set I would normally expect lego to charge $120 for. $140-160 or whatever it is is gross. Had this set been a brown MTT with grey commandos I would have been interested, but they chose the less iconic vehicle color and I have no idea what compelled them to once more make the commando droids dark brown. 7/10 at MSRP

Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2005) if it was bad: Again, a perfectly fine set at ~$120ish. Although even then the turbo tank isn't just small, it's plain. Normally the tradeoff is size for detail, but this set (which would have been overpriced even with normal detail) seems so... blank. Figures are fine. Shoutout to the one galactic marine who's doing a sick jumpshot on the left side of the image. 6/10 at MSRP

All in all, while I might get a few of this if/when they sell poorly and hit big discounts (eyeing the turbo tank if it gets below $100), the only one that really interests me is, somehow, the firespeeder. Somebody tell Gnajbricks they finally did it.

He does have his unique all-yellow belt, so it is a new torso design and it'd be weird if they didn't get the stripe right (though they did royally mess up Fox so anything's possible I guess). Maybe we just can't see the stripe due to the low picture quality?

Yeah 1000% agree. It'd have been ideal if they were maybe spread out a little more for variety's sake but I think pretty much every single clone wars/prequel set deserved a remake and it's awesome that (most) of them look quite good. I mentioned this before but I'm especially impressed with the minifigures, maybe it's just me but I think they're a real step up from the last few waves Star Wars has been getting (not there haven't been any good ones, just that some have been lacking).
