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

That wasn’t my point. It was that a CTT with Galatatic Marines would sell well regardless of price. Cranking up the price on a clone set isn’t a stretch when hundreds a year spend upwards of double, yea, triple a retired set’s original retail value. Regardless of how the aftermarket works, it is a sample of the most financially devoted LSW fans, and TLG isn’t ignoring it any more. (Who’s to say they never were?) It’s marketing research in real time with actual potential consumers.

A test implies risk. There is not much risk here, in my oh so humble opinion.

At the very least, TLG makes most of their money off the initial Day 1 buyers and the people who don’t want to miss out before it retires. The clearance deals in between are managed by the retailers and out of their pocket, not TLG, who’ve already made their money. (I’ll a bit unsure on the specifics of that last sentence, regardless my point still stands.)

The current pace? As in exponentially increasing the number of CW sets released?
OT resurgence… to think those words would ever have to be uttered. (Not directly toward you, but toward the archenemy of THELEGOBATMAN as per the DC Thread, LEGO.)

People who would think this year to be the worst, as you say, are those who’d more likely than not value variety in a lineup. The PT is underrepresented—not that it’s undeserved, since the OT literally has the Star Wars—and whose representation would have more interesting aspects like various new minifigs as opposed to but a handful, or fresh new vehicles under various factions and groups compared to, say, re-releasing a set from a few years back that’s the significantly downscaled version of the current year’s UCS set—not to point fingers or name names, mind you. Other sets this summer fall into that same category, which I feel is born of creative bankruptcy than ingenuity.

Well... yeah. But aren't test balloons part of the market research? It could still be a smaller test baloon (given the sub-theme) for the CTT, but a test baloon nonetheless. It would be less about "does it even sell well at all" and more like "does it still sell well or even better at this price point?". 

Again, does one thing need to rule out the other? I am aware this isn't a very risky move by Lego, because they know it's gonna be a sought after set regardless. How about a calculated risk? They just wanna know how far they can go. In this instance, it's more like several baby balloons instead of one big balloon. You gotta admit... being just shy of 20 cents pro piece is presenting an unprecedented case as far as Star Wars flagships go! 

Yes, this is very much true. Unless you buy discounted sets directly from Lego, they don't have to care at what price point you purchase something off of other retailers later on. Like you said, they already made their money (minus the supply fee). So that means everyone supporting such sets, no matter the cost, including myself, is part of the problem. 

Are you familiar with the story of the frog you put in the pot and increase the temperature at such a slow pace, the frog doesn't even notice it's getting cooked? And when it does, it's already too late. That's my metaphor for Lego and all their systematic price hikes they got in store for the consumers. And that's what i mean with "test balloons". 

Yes, that kinda pace. 

What archenemy? The Clone Extravaganza? I just know that he doesn't like the current Lego Star Wars direction very much. And that he may or may not want a baby with a fictional character called Dedra Meero. 

The OT has more interesting aspects, including various new minifigures, than the PT? Yeah, i don't know about that one. I wouldn't say the underrepresentation of the PT is deserved at all, though given the current climate, i don't think now is the right time to complain about it. 

Thank you for not pointing out fingers and name names in regards to the drastically downscaled Slave 1, which i still gonna get, that's very kind and observant of you.

and also they need to use the correct rebel pilot jumpsuits for Hoth again.

This right here. No idea why they've been doing that wrong since 2019. 

To me it's the same as the less accurate Hoth Rebels, Snowtroopers without kamas/backpacks, the inaccurate Clone designs, etc. Just a general decrease in quality in places where there's really no excuse.

Ha. All you haters out there, belittling the $50 X-Wing for being too small, too skinny, that Artoo sits too high… Well, hot take: 75218 < 75301. (I realize they’re the same size, yes—which is why the 37-44% cheaper model is vastly better for kids and adult collectors alike.)

I agree with this take, and have since it came out.  The scale and execution on 75301 has been my favorite, sure it has some minor flaws in shaping (in the front), and I removed a plate to drop R2 a little bit, but I love minifigure  scale ships and this one was very close.  Minifigure scale OT fighters are my must buy sets.  (If slave one had been Bobba's in the current shape/scale I probably would have bought it just because it is close to minifigure scale).  

 

They really need to do a minifigure scale AT-ST at some point too.

The new Galactic Marines helmet mold is almost certainly going to be reused when they release a Mandalorian and Grogu AT-AT, so backpacks will return. This also explains why the goggles sit too low on the Marines, the eye print won’t have to change when they swap over to snow troopers. 

[Kaijumeister]

Wading into the downscaled vehicles discussion, what’s funny to me is that the approach initially made so much sense. Single-seater fighters like the X-Wing and TIE Fighter shouldn’t be exorbitantly expensive and oversized, and what we got in 2021 was a great compromise in that area. I’m still hoping that 2027’s 50th anniversary of ANH gives us the definitive system scaled versions of the X-Wing and TIE, last year’s X-Wing with the sloped fuselage was a big improvement in getting us closer to that.

Anyway, when the downscaled approach begins spilling over to ships that are known for their size and ability to accommodate multiple pilots and crew (T6 and Slave I to name a few examples), that’s when the approach fails for me. Any ship that should hold at least 2 figures but can’t is for all intents and purposes a glorified microfighter.

Then what ends up happening is year after year, larger vehicles that should get larger builds get increasingly downsized (and starting this year, even large vehicles like the MTT and CTT that are allocated flagship price points are still undersized!), and yet single pilot vehicles like Ahsoka’s Eta-2 keep increasing in price anyway. Jedi Starfighters are tiny, I understand the tactile considerations for allowing smaller hands to whoosh these ships around, but my point still stands. 

It’s a shame because for many collectors, the Lego iteration of a vehicle or scene is their ‘definitive’ collectible of that subject. So when severe compromises are made it can be a bummer.

Anyway, briefly commenting on the summer set pictures - the CTT and MTT do look awesome despite the absurd PPPs. I still don’t think investing in a few new moulds should be grounds for decimating the piece counts for these sets when they should be large with sizeable interiors (CTT especially), but it is what it is.

The V-19 looks awesome and that Obi-Wan figure is fantastic. I’m so glad they’ve invested in a P1 pilot helmet mould too! Really hope this means a TCW Anakin and P1 Rex are on the cards next year. 

The buildable Wicket is an absolute waste of a slot, especially with Grogu, Chopper, the B1, and K2 already being on shelves.

Ahh, that one. 75433 playset, seems to be the same size as 75312 playset tho. Should it been the same size as 8097 / 75243, then?

I have the 8097 Slave 1 and I find that quite a decent size for the ship, so for me, preferably it would be that size.
Admittedly, I thought the 75243 was a UCS or something so rather big (yet minifig size, perhaps) but apparently it's playscale size and also not too bad, though already noticeably smaller than the 8097.

I think I'll still get it though, and hang it up somewhere so it's smaller size isn't easily seen

The 75301 was fantastic scale-wise. The problem is that the rear of the model was extremely ugly. If it was not so ugly, then I would consider it "best."

Yeah they had those things right back in 2014 so it's not like we're asking Lego to do anything new. I'll also add that snow speeders should be gray, I'm sure many will disagree though.

[ArrowBricks]

Another aspect of the downscales that I don’t think gets spoken about enough is that no other theme - popular, mainstays, new - are pursuing downscales, let alone so ruthlessly. 

Ninjago’s Destiny’s Bounty, Harry Potter The Main Tower, One Piece sets, are just some examples. 

Are downscales the product of an increasing license fee? 

@Kaijumeister I’d love that to be the case! P1 Rex would be brilliant.

The buildable character/droid influx is rather strange, because you’d have thought they could elongate this sub-theme for 1-2 years if they released 2 sets each year (which we would all agree is enough). When I think of the long-term vitality of the theme, there’s not loads and loads of new ideas and sub-themes I can think of, especially since the last 5-7 years has seen such an increase in different styles of sets (helmets, diorama’s, mid-scale ships).

By today’s pricing that would just be the size of the 2010 Turbo Tank 💀.

I’d take that any day of the week, atleast the value would feel better. Plus, I’m getting a worthy model.

I still don't understand why they don't space these out. What's the tactical advantage of competing with yourself?

I actually appreciate the release of the Jango Slave One this summer. I cannot afford and do not want to spend the money for the UCS version. Why wait another year? 

On 6/7/2025 at 8:27 PM, TheScaryDoor said:

I guess Lego's goal is to get more customers by offering the same or similar set in a different format for different customer groups. 

Correct imo. I like it. Really want a Sail Barge and Venator at a more affordable price whilst still feeling premium.

On 6/8/2025 at 2:16 AM, Darth_Bane13 said:

I think there's a big market for sets in the $25-$40 price range especially for kids. I can't imagine the 327th set selling as much as the clone vs droid BP from last year.

They’ve really lost this market for sure. It’s hard given the price increases. 

On 6/8/2025 at 9:27 PM, TheScaryDoor said:

This year is the 20 years anniversary of Revenge of thr Sith. The movie was also shown again in the cinema. For me it makes sense that Lego release Jango's ship for the adults and also for the kids in this year. It fits the triology, it is partially a rerelease of the old UCS Slave 1 as an updated version from Jango instead from Boba. And Lego already have the playscale version and just need to recolour this. Which I think is a cheapter production process than creating a new set.

Number One rule with LEGO Star Wars is that it most likely doesn’t make sense.

If it’s an attack shuttle then I may be interested.

 

Agreed. We all know what the set slot should have been….

I feel like the Destiny’s Bounty has a valid excuse of being a different variant every single time one gets made. One Piece literally hasn’t even released its first wave yet so it hasn’t even had the chance to downscale a remake.

HP Main Tower is a very good point though. I wish we could get an imperial base series in that style at some point.

 

Fair enough.

Well, I DO like 75301, perfect minifig scale. That is the first T-65 X-wing Starfighter, I bought. 

75300 Imperial TIE Fighter, is farther away from the "perfect" minifig size than 75211 Imperial TIE Fighter, but, I like the 75300 more. Even SW ain't that, good with their own ship sizes. Some look bigger inside, than what outside shows.

And regarding the sizes, if LEGO would only go for minifig size vehicles, then not many could afford a T-6 1974, Ghost, etc.

Myself, I think that it is nice that there are 75409 minifig scale and 75433 playscale.

T-6 1974, Ghost, etc. if in minifig scale, or, similar.. a Ghost, would be around 5000 pieces, instead of 1394 pieces "75357". 2bricksofficial , has a "minifig" T-6 too, but, I have no clue of the amount of pieces it needs.

What other reason? Is there an anniversary of which I am unaware? It’s probably the 16th anniversary of Season 3 of TCW, isn’t it? I expect Aqua Droids and those Hydro-Clones to accompany the celebration, then. Otherwise, it’s concrete proof that LEGO hates their fans.

Tongue in cheek joke about the next Avengers movie being about the character Commander Doom is based on.

This is a fair point- the mesh of technic beams, especially when in attack position, is pretty rough.

I swear by the maker, don't they dare to do this... The last Bongo released in 2012 and thus is long overdue for a modern makeover. Plus it actually provides a good opportunity to finally include a Boss Nass minifigure. They better don't waste such a spot for even more RTG mumbo jambo, aka Star Wars glorified what if series. No offence, i had a fun time watching it, it's just a painful reminder what sub-theme gets sets and what doesn't. And when it then wastes ships which would have been perfectly fine as regular releases (looking at you Dark Falcon) it gets worse.

I agree I don't care for RTG or any Lego Star Wars original theme for that matter. There are so many obscure sets they could make from the EU and we could get real characters like Mara Jade, Pellaeon, Darth Bane, etc.

@CloneCommando99, point I’m making is that they release lots of remakes for the Bounty but the size is still top tier. 

One Piece has started from a large scale, arguably for a theme catered towards children and young adults. Star Wars caters for adults in display models only.

Same, the one caveat being when they use it to release obscure characters like the Ithorian and RA7 protocol droid in that Yoda Chronicles set, or Quarrie in one of the Freemakers sets. But even then they could've made the vehicles based on actual Star Wars ones. Jek-14's ship being an E-wing was nice but the colour scheme wasn't really usable. A Freemakers set being (very loosely based on) a TIE Phantom was nice but it was using the old blue colour scheme so didn't match modern TIEs, and had weird cockpit shaping which doesn't match the actual TIE Phantom. 

Ultimately yeah the set slots and new moulds (seriously why did they make that MOC Hunter Droid thing? Just don't see the point of a new moulded head for a made-up one-off like that when they couldn't do it for the Bad Batch's helmets a few years later) could be applied way better if they did it based on Legends stuff. That way it's still a bit of a curveball and something "wacky and cool" if that's what they're going for, but is still actually something which exists. Like what they did in the past with the TIE Crawler, the TIE Defender, Anakin's 03 CW Fighter, etc., which are all really good sets.

I think also for some obscure characters they could release them in polybags like May 4th or something, Jedi bob could've come in a new Republic Gunship too.

Last summers wave for me was terrible it is what this summers wave is going to be for many of you on here. I don’t think anyone really knows how they plan sets or what data they have to suggest what sells well and what doesn’t. Maybe some of the RTG sets sold well and that why we’ve got another this year. Someone said a while back the U wing is selling well which could be a good sign for next year for more Andor sets. 

I think the reality we have to accept now is SW is big so many eras so many potential sets within each era that it’s an impossible job to get the perfect balance. 2025 is an off year for SW as Andor is the only mainstream media being released every year for the past 10-11 years we’ve had new media with the potential for Lego to cover it with sets and that heavily reduces the odds of things getting remade. This is where the balance is wrong clones get a lot of coverage but they sell, x wings and tie fighters sell we’ve had 4/5 versions of x wings since Disney took over and maybe 10 different ties as well in various shapes and forms. Still got the ep9 falcon in shops in the U.K. i don’t know if that’s because it’s popular or they can’t shift it. The balance is wrong and now throw in the 18+ helmets/dioramas/midi ships and constant buildable droids/creatures the theme has changed forever and I think our expectations need to change with it and really we need to start showing any unhappiness with your wallets. Again I’ve no idea how they design sets or plan for them, are they current lead designers clone fans and that’s why we’ve had a lot of P2 clones? Does someone at LEGO got beef with Christopher Lee and that’s why we haven’t had a Dooku for so long we don’t know. Lego is getting more expensive and it’s harder to enjoy and justify it as a hobby.

We are struggling to get coverage with stuff in the normal Lego universe there is no way as a business they would focus on obscure stuff that 90% of SW fans wouldn’t know about. SW is a double edged sword it’s popular because Disney has been making content for over 10 years now but that’s come at the cost of Lego making 10 years worth of new content at the expense of stuff from the original 6 films. I’m still in the boat of rather have new content and sets based off that than remakes

How is Lego making obscure stuff worse than making RTG sets though? 100% of fans don't know what a dark falcon is, so this argument doesn't really work.

Not that the Evil Falcon makes a lot of sense to me over, say, the normal millennium falcon, but there are two points here:

A: Lego puts out the RTG show, meaning not only do they have a vested stake in cross-promotion, but they know their show tailored to children, who lego used to remember bought their sets, should probably get a fair amount of children to recognize it over some more obscure canon vehicles.

B (and this is the big one): 100% of fans may not have known what an evil falcon was, but 99.9% of fans DO know what the Millennium Falcon is and are successfully able to understand the concept of an evil/darkside millennium falcon.

Again I'm not saying one is better than the other or that the evil falcon makes any more sense than the base version, but you have to recognize that changing the color scheme of one of the most iconic ships in the franchise isn't going to suddenly cause it to sell worse than, say, the justifier or some other more obscure ship.

Fair points, though I don't think the dark falcon would sell as well as a normal OT one. I do think if they made a set like the Rogue shadow or the Outrider it would sell well if done properly. There were some pretty obscure sets from when I was a kid and I thought they were cool.

Yeah this definitely makes sense. I guess the thing for me is that when they make the new vehicles for the shows like RTG, Freemakers, etc. I prefer when they base them on "real" ones. Then it hits the points of being recognisable to people who watched the show AND of being an actual canonical vehicle. 

To be fair though the Dark Falcon makes sense given the whole theme of RTG; the whole point is to have things switched around like that.
