i don’t collect the helmets but i do appreciate the starship theme since it gets good sized capital ships for display (they should come with a minifigure).  I just wish they would do one of each theme per year.  So one diorama, one helmet, one starship, one buildable figure,  even give them one spare slot for experiments or an extra in any of the categories.  This year though we have ten from these and none of them were the minifigure based dioramas (Mustafar would have been awesome).

Stuff like this makes me sometimes believe Lego is a little allergic to making even more money. Just include a rare minifigure and the Starship Collection would be instantly more interesting to some people. It's not like UCS sets, where you would expect most hardcore collectors getting it without any minifigures, given the much higher entry price point. But still ask for high enough prices for the Midi-scale ships to warrant that figure. 

Same goes for the Dioramas. You put a figure in the Micro-scale ones for good measure as well. If they had included a Sebulba, Shmi Skywalker or Watto in the Mos Espa Podrace, i would have probably gotten it for the right price. Without it, i am not tempted to get it at all. Sure, there would be probably a lot of people who just bricklink the fig and move on. But i'd say Lego give it a shot. If it fails to make any significant impact, they can take that L... i mean lesson to learn from. 

This year would have been a very good time to release a Palpatin's Arrest remake.

Nice, I got both of those back in the day, probably the best clone battle packs in my opinion.

Yep, they are both impeccable. When you remove the bulky stud shooters and replace them with classic blasters (which is among the best Lego decisions in this decade), I don't know if there is anything you can improve upon for these Battle Packs. They are as good as they get... just peak performance all around. Due to the side build, i would give the 212th Battalion the slight edge over the 41th one, though. 

Considering both Battle Packs are entirely possible options for getting a makeover in 2026 and beyond, this will bode well on this board.

Yeah and I got to say the old 212th clones look so much better than the new ones.

Yeah, they definitely look better. The only improvements from modern standard clone troopers over the old ones is the added foot printing and the end of the angry clone face. Everything else is about the same or worse.

Yeah agreed. I love the new skin tone and the leg print is great but I hate the use of the animated style for the new torsos and how they combined the animated and realistic designs for the helmets. They should've stuck to using the realistic style for everything, which worked great for the 2013-2019 Clones. The hybrid style has put me off modern Clones far more than the helmet holes or even the lack of physical kamas. I unironically think there hasn't been a single Clone figure I'd truly consider to be good since 2019, due to the new style. It's what stopped me from army-building the new 501st troopers in 2020. 

I generally dislike any form of animation style being applied to LEGO minifigures. I put modern Clone Troopers in the same category as the old Clone Wars eyes, the Rebels Stormtroopers, etc. LEGO figures already have their own stylisation, so combining that with another form of stylisation doesn't make sense to me. 

For me it's the same level of awful decision-making as them choosing to use the pupil-less eyes, but at least those eyes only affect a few characters. 

On the plus side it's saving me a lot of money by making me not want many of the new sets, but it does also make me sad to see all the Clone legions I've been wanting for ages (e.g. the 327th) get made now when I wish they'd made them 5 years ago while they were still using the designs which actually looked good.

I'm pretty much in the same boat, I do think helmet holes ruin the figure more than the art style though. I thought the 2020 501st clones looked pretty good , not as good as 2014 though.

Spotify claims this is my most listened to- song, I feel like it's not, but I guess they'd know. (The normal version, not the TIE avenger version. You're gonna need to get Englebert Humperdinck to record the TIE Avenger edition.)

What happens if we get the list of all the 2026 sets and it's not there? Do you accept temporary defeat, or keep pushing for 2027?

I'm shocked lego's been so restrained with the 41st clones. They used to be weirdly prominent despite the relative lack of clone sets, and now that it's clone mania they're suspiciously absent.

I guess since they were the most recent clones LEGO covered before they changed the design in 2020, they thought they should probably leave them alone for a while and make some other prominent ones that haven't been available for even longer (or ever) before coming back to them. It's probably been long enough now though.

Eh, i somewhat agree on this. While i prefer many things from the golden Lego Star Wars clone era, i don't perceive it as a night and day difference or anything like that. More like taking one step forward and two steps back at times.

I don't mind some of the aesthetic changes. I don't even think the helmet holes are a huge deal. However, the printed waist capes i do despise. 

Still enjoy the new style for the generic troops. And beyond that, the arm printing for Rex and Fives. The new rangefinder (plus potentially pauldron piece) is also awesome. 

I'm just no purist (not that you necessarily need to be in order to criticize current clones) when it comes to such stuff. I tend to be that kinda guy who can be happy with both worlds. Usually don't like to sugarcoat something from top to bottom (>>here is nice<<), but don't like to rip something to shreds either. 

Oh, and i disagree about the unified clone armor design to be as bad of a design decision as giving some characters no pupils anymore. The former still looks good to me, just different. The latter is just beyond stupid. It's needlessly changing up things just for the sake of it.

First, i hope it's gonna show up for the 2026 list and everything else is irrelevant. Second, if not, i have a feeling he'd continue. That's what i'd like to see, anyways. I enjoy the energy he put into these posts. And i can identify with the desire to put pop culture quotes into personally fitting situations, it's very funny. Third, his potential dark ages better not get the better of him. 

Yep, i was so convinced in 2024 the 41th would be released alongside a new CTT this year. We all know how that turned out. But yeah, if they show up in the foreseeable future, it would by anything but a surprise. I doubt Lego is gonna pass up this opportunity of making more easy money.

They have until January 2027. If it’s still not there then… 1807. Or I just keep asking until the end of time.

It’s not like Lego can ignore the only Disney + show that actually gained popularity overtime as episodes released and is widely acclaimed by fans and critics right?

Seeing as we haven’t had any un-named Rebel Endor commandos since 2015 either (or non fleet trooper rebels all together since 2017)… perhaps it’s due to Lego suddenly deciding that their camouflage is too reminiscent of real life soldiers.

I will not stop until I get what I want. Simple as that.

Thanks. I’m glad you enjoy them and don’t find them annoying.

That possibility becomes more and more likely with each passing day there’s no 2026 news which excites me that much.

Weekend Ghost Whip is mine. Which is weird because I only listen to it once a fortnight while Invisible, We Built This City, and Feel It are played all the time.

If memory serves we had the battlepack, turbo tank, ATAP, droid gunship, scout walker all with the Kashyyyk clones. Am I right in them being the 41st? I wonder if 2026 Lego continues the trend of doing something different and doing the 41st but not on Kashyyyk they like doing the same but different at the moment. I also wonder who faction wise would benefit from the new paldrons? As I suspect they might have a better chance of a release so Lego can utilise the new mold. 

We are only an AT-AP away from lego redoing all the previously done republic land vehicles in the 2020s with off the top of my head the exception of the AT-OT

the TIE avenger should be released never seen something in SW marketed as much and not get a set in recent memory. Can’t remember how many TIEs are on the shelf atm, a safe bet one will come out next year as we’ve got Ashoka and Mando and grogu so that might take away from the avenger possibly.

Battle pack, AT-AP, and droid gunship in 2014, turbo tank in 2016, and scout walker, another AT-AP, and another droid gunship in 2019, so yeah quite a few things in the mid to late 2010s

Yeah, and the argument that nobody would care about anything Andor once a potential Avenger hit the shelves can't be made either. The Ahsoka show ain't even that popular and beloved and still receives new sets. Just a Battle Pack and a Buildable Droid, but still... 

That's what i thought. You keep fighting the good fight, man. 

Never annoying, always amusing. 

To be fair, other than obvious Mando tie-in sets, we haven't had any concrete info for anything 2026 so far, right? So everything is still entirely possible.

Mid to late 2010s you say... *checks Calendar*

The 41st seem likely to come back soon, but I also would not be too surprised if we see the 212th again either next year or the year after. They're the most popular and recognizable group of clones aside from the 501st, and unlike their blue brethren, they've been in far fewer recent sets. I'm not sure if we know when the AT-TE is retiring but either way I can't imagine it's on too many store shelves at this point, and I'm sure there are a decent amount of people who skipped that one because it was expensive but would get a cheaper set with them. This is all just speculation ofc but I feel there's a non-zero chance we see them next year, especially since there aren't many popular legions left (really just Wolfpack and (if they even count) the 41st).

I imagine the AT-TE will go soon. Doesn’t make sense having two similar size clone land vehicles on the shelves at the same time. They won’t want to cannibalise any sales for the CTT

Just as a heads-up, a certain wannabe leaker is at it again  If you see a list featuring a midiscale Venator, that’s his doing and should thus be swiftly ignored.

I will not remember anything from this legendary leaker in T minus an hour... Oh, already forgot. 

Got a little tired by waiting for some additional discounts for Plo Koon's Microfighter so i got the new Battle Pack instead. Not even 2 bucks between those two is just ridiculous.

Out of all potential buildable figures, an Ewok was a rather easy guess.

Some of it seems obvious (AT-AT and Razor Crest) but the others I’m not sure of. Kind of hope it’s false not keen on the idea of them doing busts.

You mean... Selbst ein blindes Huhn findet mal ein Korn? 

Yeah, and so are the generic guesses in regards to the Mando and Grogu movie. Also, there is just no way Lego is releasing yet another 332nd Clone Trooper Battle Pack when they have so many other options out there. Like they couldn't even make these fake leaks somewhat believable.

If he wanted to try you’d at least go for a wolf pack bp as people would believe it. It’s almost like he isn’t trying lmao. Then it’s like marvel and dc do busts so Star Wars will do one and then all these other ships at midi scale now the venator as again it’s not impossible just jay from the inbetweeners. Still think June is too early for names for 2026 i would half expect set numbers at some point (although have we not had them already)

And once again, a new Razor Crest and an AT-AT are the easiest guesses in the universe. Try harder, people. This is embarrassing.
