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.

Because the RTG show is there for kids to watch and if they like it buy the sets it current and relevant. Looking back even the free maker stuff was coming out whenever that show was coming out at the same time, same as those god awful Jedi adventure 4+ sets.  The only way your getting the obscure legends characters nowadays is if they get introduced via a Disney+ show or film as from 2026 there’s going to be 12 films, 4 animated shows, 7 live action series all with fans wanting sets to be made and only a few slots available to meet demand. I’d love it to have the more obscure things from SW but it’s just not reality certainly not from LEGO.

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. 

With a lot of the free makers stuff when that was being released what other SW stuff was it competing against? Not much and there was no 18+ sets taking away from the system sets. But I agree even though I didn’t like the RTG sets the whole thing was mixing things up that why they had the rebel ATAT, a mon calamari trooper, and a dark falcon.

The new Galactic Marines helmet mold is almost certainly going to be reused when they release a Mandalorian and Grogu AT-AT

The new AT-AT will be released in 2026.

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.

Agreed on your main points but just wanted to chime in with regards to Dooku. I don't see people mention this a ton when he comes up, but I think the biggest hurdle to him getting made is just that there aren't really a ton of realistic options for sets where he would make sense. He's not actually in the prequels that much, and they still aren't making many CW sets that aren't primarily clone focused aside from the MTT I suppose. They could always throw him in a set where he doesn't necessarily belong just to get him out, but beyond that I'm not sure where he would show up. Maybe a new Gunship, but they've done very few phase 1 clone sets so that might not even work. It would be nice if they found somewhere to include him though if we're going to keep getting so many clone sets.

Yeah we figured.

You wouldn’t happen to know the minifigs would you?

I don’t mind the RTG sets. The Dark MF and Jedi Bob’s starfighter are quite fun concepts. It’s only the X-Wing and Tie which I see as problematic since it just means they’re going to have to be remade sooner rather than later due to the lack of iconic characters included. And also the lack of characters I want in it is a tad annoying (couldn’t they have waited a year and made it an Andor tie in or done it that summer anyways but Mandoverse with Carson Teva/ ROTJ with Wedge and Mon/ Blue Squadron from Rogue One?)

The single RTG play-set could only be argued to be annoying since it’s the only choice of non-clone play-set in the entire wave. Not that the set itself shouldn’t exist.

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.

Or just adding some obscure characters to standard or even popular sets. Like who is to say it needs to be a niche product all around?

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.

Yes. The sheer number of individual sub-themes combined with all these additional formats makes striking a good balance rather difficult nowadays. I'm not even against RTG sets per se, just biased in regards to replacing regular releases. When you see the aforementioned aspects killing system scale slots at a rapid pace and then you get those goofy versions of characters or ships that have been a while since their last original release, it doesn't feel right to me. Of course, all other people who already own at least one, say, OT themed Falcon might welcome this change. Always depends on which side you stand on.

It isn't. I don't know why some people seem to be so allergic to this obscurity. Star Wars takes place in an obscure galaxy filled to the brim with obscure characters. It's like THE franchise where one character is named Padok'Draba'Takat Sap'De'Rekti Nik'Linke'Ti' Ki'Bef'Nik'NeSevef'Li'Kek (if i'm not able to say this ten times fast i don't even bother to get out of bed) and the other is named Timm. It's a universe where one character looks like your worst nightmare, while the another appears to be a generic human you could meet at Walmart. It's where even the most irrelevant individuel with two seconds of screentime gets tons of background stories on Wookiepedia. While some tend to shun this obscurity, i like to embrace it. And this can extend to some Lego Star Wars minifigs as well.

And yes, i am aware that Lego can't and therefore won't see it this way.

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.

I kinda don't like your post. It just makes too much sense and doesn't fit my selfish narrative.

All things considered, now more than ever, you will never make everyone happy. This is the logical consequence in all of this.

Weird I could have sworn I replied to this did it get taken down?

I can’t remember what I said exactly lmao but Dooku vs Yoda would have been a good £30 set when Lego was banging them out in the late 2010s before dioramas took over the cheap location sets. I agree he is difficult but Mail, Vader, Kylo, Palpatine have had a fair amount of coverage over the years Dooku is the only one who gets missed out and he is in 2 movies. I can only hope he comes back at some point. He was my favourite villain but think that’s more for Christopher Lee having a massive resurgence in the early 2000s

It depends on how people collect Lego. There are the completionists (the crazy ones) who buy every single set regardless of it they like the set or not, those who have been collecting for years, those who only just started. We all have different things in our collections and preferences and yeah it’s impossible and frustrating when things get released that we don’t want. I see it now as money saved, kind of like girl maths. I saved 150 quid by not buying the dark falcon :D

just my opinion I’ll try to be polite but the tales of series aren’t for me, but I wouldn’t say they are exclusively for kids either it’s more young adults as every single one is a continuation of a character’s story from CW or before and I’d argue people would have more enjoyment of them if they had watched clone wars first, which I didn’t because I hate clone wars with a passion. Which most people who have watched the clone wars and are nostalgic for more are teens/young adults who watched it when it first came out. RTG was definitely more marketable for Lego and potentially profitable for kids/adults a like feel like tales is a very small audience and lego Must think that otherwise where are all the bad batch sets? Especially as Lego love clones so much and yet they don’t even look at the second most clone focused show. 

Also more slave one pics are out and I love it. Don’t like the stud shooters but that’s an easy fix

They could do a Yoda vs Count Dooku duel or just put him in a Vulture droid or some other clone wars vehicle.

Yeah this is a good point, they could've put a figure like Darth Bane in the Yoda Starfighter from 2023. That way hardcore collectors and kids are both interested in the set.

I don't think a fitting set inclusion for him would be problematic at all. Yoda or Anakin Vs. Dooku, both as a smaller play scale set or Diorama would be the no-brainer options. Other than that, the Geonosis Arena in any capacity that we never got. Or simply a bigger Separatist ship like the Invisible Hand. Save to say, a main character not appearing anywhere for twelve years, is becoming a glaring omission. One that Lego needs to fix in the foreseeable future.

Ha, i thought this would be the AFOL/dad/husband kinda math. 

Oh no, it's not exclusively made for kids, that would be the Young Jedi stuff. It's just something a younger audience could enjoy as well as TCW. I'm just annoyed seemingly everything else (including Young Jedi) gets something, while Tales of Jedi/Empire/Underworld got completely swept under the carpet. Adding to the current conversation, it would have been a good opportunity to do a Yaddle Vs. Dooku set, killing two birds with one stone.

Okay, maybe not that crazy of an inclusion, but suffice to say that set desperately needed a third figure. Besides Lego gotta be Lego, i just can not fathom these inconstancies when it comes to minifigure line-ups.

Darth Bane was literally in the Clone Wars ARC the set was based off of.

I personally hate the kiddie 4+ sets wasting space. My much younger brothers who are in that demographic have skipped over them multiple times. When I was their age I was buying (was being bought) and building regular system sets. Kid's aren't dumb.

@Skiffle Lego will release construction based sets next year. They will include both bricks and minifigures. Some will even be based on licensed themes. But please... you better keep it top secret. Don't wanna come across more important and serious than i actually am.

I’m this but for LOTR only, for Star Wars I had to narrow my focus because completion is way too much money.  I set my collection to one of each ship and vehicle from the OT (my favorite version of each) and one of every character (again picking my favorite version so for pilot Luke I have the UCS version).  I will pick up a random other set if I really like it (u-wing this year) but this way my sets are very focused and don’t change.

I need Krennic to be released in a cheaper set than the DS next year. His torso is super useful and can do double duty as he has the same rank plaque as a Admiral.

Yep, that would be me. 

And that's exactly what i have in mind. Night Trooper Battle Pack is already at ~15 bucks over here. So the Microfighter gotta be around 12 bucks. Like i predicted, the price gap is now even smaller than it initially was. 

He breathes in through the mask and said: We're just jedi minifigures, sir. We're meant to be expendable. I replied... not to me.

Yeah, it probably will get that cheap at some point. But I won't gonna wait this long. Not for this one. 2026 and beyond is reserved for bigger sets. 

 

Now thinking about it... As good as 2025 is for me, i will actually get very few brand new sets this year. Primarily smaller stuff due to the insane price points and other hobbies. So Plo got top priority, followed by the Night Trooper Battle Pack shortly after and the 327th Super Battle Pack later on. Then there might be one mid range set like the U-Wing, V-19 Torrent and Slave 1 happening at the end of the year. The flagship sets are reserved for next year like always. Also still got some 2024 sets to catch up to before they retire.

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. 

You raise a great point here. Other themes like Ninjago and Harry Potter (arguably even Marvel, if you consider sets like the Benatar and Milano) that start appealing to older demographics without venturing into UCS-esque labelling territory still build upon the core concept of system sets, just with increased complexity and size. Star Wars still refuses to explore that area of not quite UCS, but still a step beyond the usual system sets.

I feel like more than most themes, the ‘mature’ Star Wars sets try too hard to make older consumers forget they’re buying Lego. I wouldn’t mind seeing sets a little pricier than the £160 price point if it meant getting builds on par with the Dark Bounty, Hogwarts Main Tower etc. Outside of the Slave I which is a UCS set anyway, none of the Star Wars builds this year are anywhere near as impressive as some of the Ninjago and Harry Potter stuff.

But at the same time, I’d also appreciate getting £160 sets that don’t feel like they have £100 worth of value at best. Like you said, the downsizing of sets feels ruthless.

This would be a great way for Lego to make fans happy (and drive microfighter sales) I still stand by one of the best microfighters was the x-wing because it gave us Theron net.  It would be good in my opinion for Lego to keep this trend up (or if they are invested in the mech theme use it to do unique characters that don’t show up in every other set there as well). I would actually buy mechs if they had a mini figure that I didn’t have 5 of already.  I’d be good with a padme one (we don’t have enough padme options), a dooku one, grievous, Krennic, Mara jade, would at least make them more interesting (I think plo and Rex were good by the way just agreeing we need more like this)

 

I also think bringing back microfighter dual packs would be a good idea if they keep the recent trend of good mini figures up.  Like a dual microfighter of plo and grievous on a micro malevolence would have been awesome.

I agree with all these points, he absolutely should get a new version, but my point is moreso just that it's easy to see why it hasn't happened yet. Lego just only has so many set slots each year, and the movies Dooku features in (not to mention Dooku himself) just aren't quite as popular as a lot of the others. Why do Yoda vs Dooku when they could do the final battle of Episode I or Episode V or whatever, you know? Or for ships, sure they could do a Separatist one and throw him in, but Lego clearly seems to think TIEs sell better. It's not that they can't make a set with him so much as it's that any set he might be in could be something else that's similar in concept but with more popular characters and contents.

I'm hoping we have the chance to get him soon since they've been doing so much clone/prequel stuff as of late, but they're only just now starting to dip their toes into the Separatist material so who knows. I think his best shot would probably just be a microfighter. The funniest way to make him would be a mech, though I highly doubt that's happening since those seem reserved for just the most popular characters.

I agree with all these points, he absolutely should get a new version, but my point is moreso just that it's easy to see why it hasn't happened yet. Lego just only has so many set slots each year, and the movies Dooku features in (not to mention Dooku himself) just aren't quite as popular as a lot of the others. Why do Yoda vs Dooku when they could do the final battle of Episode I or Episode V or whatever, you know? Or for ships, sure they could do a Separatist one and throw him in, but Lego clearly seems to think TIEs sell better.

Well yeah, there are obviously more important main characters than Count Dooku. So it's understandable why Lego would prioritize one over the other, like Darth Maul or General Grievous. However, i don't think it's that easy to see why this hasn't already happened at all. To me, it sorta feels like a head scratcher. And if Ventress, who is hardly any more relevant than Dooku, can be remade after a decade, so can the Count after an even longer disappearance. Just bring him back as long as the Clone Extravaganza is up and running. A Solar Sailor remake would be yet another possible and fitting set for him to finally show up again.

 

In terms of even more ludicrous leaks in the sarcastic sense... I have it on good authority Lego will release at least one R2-D2 figure in 2026.

Me too, fun to hear how people set up their Lego collecting goals and strategies to get there.

While I generally buy every set from the themes I collect, I do draw lines. For instance, I ignore store builds, multipacks, and most convention exclusives  And Mr Gold. I‘m not paying $2k+ for a single minifig!

The new AT-AT will be released in 2026.

I agree with the consensus. You have to give us something better if you want us to believe you. So far, these are the safest bets anyone could have made. Swing for the fences!

Exclusive scoop everyone-- there will be at least one lego star wars minifigure released next year.

With the shift to 18+ stuff that might be a pretty bold claim.

I would actually buy mechs if they had a mini figure that I didn’t have 5 of already.  I’d be good with a padme one (we don’t have enough padme options), a dooku one, grievous, Krennic, Mara jade, would at least make them more interesting (I think plo and Rex were good by the way just agreeing we need more like this)

Yeah this is the case for me too. 

Not only do I think the mechs are a really awful concept (they're mostly the same build just with different colours, resemble nothing in the SW universe, and accomplish the same thing as microfighters by giving you a single minifigure BUT at a 50% higher price), but of the 4 we've got there was only one that had a desirable minifigure. I've already got dozens of Stormtroopers, Vaders, and Pilot Lukes. Sure, I've been collecting for 17 years but even someone who just bought the Boarding the Tantive IV from last year already has 2 of those covered, and surely nobody is army-building Stormtroopers at the crazy price of a mech for each trooper when you could already get them on eBay/Bricklink for far less than that. The Boba Fett one at least gave him arm printing which was previously only used on the UCS version, but even then they skimped out by not including his cape (and as a domino effect the decision to make this set have the ESB Boba meant the one in the Skiff set which lazily reused the design was inaccurate, and also still missing the cape, when really they could've used the RotJ design for both since they must have known the Skiff set was coming). 

Some truly new figures like Padmé would be great, though even then I'd prefer if they just did small sets at the same price point instead of a mech, especially since Marvel, Minecraft, etc. can manage to do it perfectly fine.
