Personally, I think TLG should just retire both the UCS and MBS labels and call all the big D2C sets “Collector’s Edition”, like they do with the Potter D2C sets. Sets like the AT-AT, the Razor Crest, Jabba’s Sailbarge or the upcoming Death Star blur the lines between UCS and MBS to a degree where a distinction makes little sense anymore

Yeah I agree with this, either that or just use the UCS label for everything regardless of whether it’s an oversized vehicle, playset, etc.

Tie Avenger is like the sun, if you only believe in it when you see it, you’ll never make it through the night. (Day #95)

You don’t happen to collect Micro Galaxy Squadron do you? They revealed a $15 TIE Avenger with a tiny Cassian figure during SDCC. Hopefully Lego Star Wars follows suit.

I can’t say I’m overly excited by the Death Star rumours and figures we’ve seen so far. Dual moulded legs for Imperial Officers etc. in a $1000 set shouldn’t even be in question (and I won’t even start on characters like Threepio not having it despite there being other cheaper sets including that). They can’t even use the ‘but we were limited by budget!’ excuse when, again, this is going to be the priciest Lego set to date. I’ll reserve my judgement until the full reveal though, as I’m sure there’ll be plenty of cool aspects about it.

More than anything though, seeing the set choices being made for LSW, coupled with the increased dilution of set types and the increasing decimation of part counts for price points, makes it all the more sad that large, well designed location playsets just don’t seem to be a consideration for this theme. 

I’m thinking of sure-fire subjects like a Death Star, Cloud City, or Endor playset occupying the £140 summer flagship price point. How aren’t these a thing? With the Death Star and Cloud City in particular, the different areas and sense of levelling / verticality is ripe for clever play functions and cool builds. Endor would make for an awesome standard playset too, but again that’s outside the realm of possibility but somehow a UCS AT-ST and buildable Wicket being released in the same wave aren’t. 

I guess Yavin IV was Lego’s litmus test for such an idea but it wasn’t terribly popular, though I’d maintain that the execution of that set rather than the idea of it was where it went wrong.

Yeah it's understandable if the kid really wants the set for his birthday. It's just crazy how How I could get 4 battle packs for the price of one new one when I was a kid.

Yeah it's ridiculous for sure. I think $20 was understandable even if it hurt a little, and $30 for extra droids and better builds feels pretty reasonable. $45 is just insane though when the builds are worse than the $30 one we had recently and your not even getting any more figs. If it was like six clones, okay sure, if it had the commando droids that would take the edge off a little, but as is it's just absurd. Glad it exists for the kids who evidently want it but I still find Lego's greed here honestly kind of repugnant. Obviously it's just a toy at the end of the day, but it just sucks that people are going to be priced out of a hobby they enjoy.

I'm going to bring this one up specifically because weren't you JUST saying there's no legitimate reason to dislike the youtuber who posts videos on his gargantuan clone armies for a mostly kid audience? You don't think that might have a bigger impact in terms of getting kids to buy these than a dad buying the set his kid asked for?

Well MandR hasn't army built since the 2020 501st set, and he literally trashed on the 327th battle pack and told his fans NOT to buy it. Anyway you can read my follow up post where I backtracked and said it's understandable since it's for the kids B-day.

Not much to add, but the sets (and prices) leave me very unimpressed. Death Star trending in a direction I don't find interesting, but I am keeping an open mind until it reveals!

First point, I agree.  I'm usually okay with/understanding of minifigure decisions, even if they are strange at times, because I'm assuming there's either budgetary constraints or other issues that we aren't privy to.  This just completely baffles me - as you said, this is literally the most expensive set ever and is supposed to be the flagship LSW set - what could possibly top this?  It should be the gold standard of detail, especially in cases where it's super easy - the lack of dual molded legs on C-3PO is especially odd.

And I agree, I'd love some Kenner-esque location playsets.  The MBS Cloud City is one of my favorite sets of all time, and I'd love if it they released a downscaled version (I know, I know, "downscaled" is a bad word around here ) with like the dining room, hallway section, carbon freezing chamber, and dueling catwalk.  I'm thinking something like the Kenner Micro Collection Cloud City, though probably a bit smaller.

(TLJ isn’t that good, but I’ll admit that it’s a particularly cool piece of dialogue)

75421 and 75423 news must be found.

Not to fully get into this, but yeah, it has a lot of stuff that could have worked very well in a different movie.

Seriously. 1HY 2026 is a bit of a wash if they end up being disappointing.

Cobb and Bane in a cheapish set is solid, and the $10 mando speeder bike is an excellent choice by lego, but neither are standouts or going to be a particularly special build. One is interesting because of the figures, and the other is interesting because of the price point. That's it.

Does it even matter?

We haven't had an MBS set since 2020, and I don't think LEGO even advertises those sets as such anymore. It's just another big Star Wars set for them. Jabba's Sail Barge had like 11 characters, so they obviously aren't tied to 2 characters per UCS set.

MBS was never real. Just the dream of a marketing agent from Billund.

But really- all it means is a location vs a ship. The Death Star is both, so it could be either, but like you say I think MBS as a label is dead anyway.

[BrickPrick]

While the MBS label might as well be dead as this point, i wouldn't be too upset about it. What i actually want is more sets in the same vein, despite the differences you can make, regardless of what's on the box. Would be such a waste to not do any more large location based sets, which are collectable, displayable and playable at the same time.

If the Death Star doesn't have an exterior then it's an MBS to me.

Same.  I'm more of a 'vehicle guy' so I have never owned any of the DS sets.  Depending on the configuration of this one I may or may not be parting with $1K.  Based on what I'm reading the odds are 70-30 I'll be keeping my money - but perhaps I'll be wowed.

This set is trending this way for me as well.  When I heard it would be a Death Star it was a 100% buy.  But that was because I don’t have a Death Star yet.  I still want some minifigs from the set so now i am 50/50 on the set but would potentially bricklink the figures I want.  Probably will end up playing the waiting game to see if there is a good sale (30%) or how the minifigure prices go.  If it has the wow factor I might reconsider (and if the gwp has a wow factor)

[Sucram]

Hey at least if the Death Star ends up having no display value we can just bricklink the 2005 set for the same price (or less??)

Nope. It’s NERF Lego or nothing.

Day #96 of bargaining with Lego to make a Tie Avenger instead of Glup Shitto 69th legion clone in a barely related Glup Shippo.

What’s more concerning to me is… the lack of excitement for new sets from me is potentially making me fall out of love with LSW. Now that Andor’s gone, I have no future SW content that I’m truly hyped for these days apart from Lego and Jedi 3. I have come to the realisation that I have little, if not any,  hype for M&G next year. Sure, Maul Shadowlord and Ahsoka S2 seem interesting but I haven’t seen a trailer to really get the hype flowing, same goes for Starfighter. And I think I lost most of my liking for Mando after TBoBF and S3.

I fear that if I lose love with LSW, I will become apathetic towards the franchise’s future content. Something I never thought would be possible a year ago. And I know how vocal I’ve been about liking Andor, but I’ve come to the realisation there’s a 90% chance we’ll never get something quite as good ever again. Especially since the guys behind Mando S3 and TBoBF are still at large.
 

So Lego, please I beg you, make more Andor, Jedi, Rebels, RO and BF sets. They’re tried and tested forms of good content apart from TCW and the movies that are viable for a plethora of sets. I don’t want to lose faith with either the theme or the franchise.

Exactly my line of thinking too. I was also thinking about the old Galoob Micro Machines playsets and how fun their layouts were. Their topology could translate quite well into Lego playsets.

I find it interesting that both Lego Star Wars and Marvel have reached a point over the past couple of years where a non-trivial number of people on this forum (anecdotal but still) are largely writing off 1HY sets as fairly bland or uninspiring in anticipation of 2HY being where things actually get interesting. Star Wars only gets a couple of typically small to medium System sets whilst Marvel rehashes the same old Spider-Man vehicles with a sprinkle of Infinity Saga sets every 1HY. 

That’s just the way the cookie crumbles moving forward with these Disney-owned themes I guess, but the wait does get painful having to wait a whole year between each summer wave until the ‘good’ stuff comes along. I suspect this also feeds into why the complaints about this year’s summer wave in particular have been so pronounced as well, because people have been waiting longer which allows expectations to marinate.

Unfortunately even when Jedi 3 does come out, I have no confidence that the LSW team will actually make any sets on it. But really that’s the most disappointing aspect of 2025 for me. The lull in Star Wars content would’ve made this the perfect year to ‘catch up’ on content people have been asking for more representation of, but instead we get even less System sets and those we do get are predominantly focused on clones.

I feel the same way though. This year there’s maybe 5 sets in total that I want to get, it’s a far cry from previous years where most sets had their own appeal in some way or another.

Don't they basically already do this? Sets are no longer 'UCS Jango Fett's Starship', just 'Jango Fett's Starship'. TLG appear to be relying on the black background to market sets to the AFOL-curious and AFOLs alike.

[BrickPrick]

To be totally honest, i haven't been exactly and consistently looking forward to too much Star Wars media since the Disney acquisition. The sequels killed of my hype rather quickly, so my focus - my only hope if you will - then shifted to their TV show efforts, which faired a lot better for me. The animated stuff like The Bad Batch, The Clone Wars Final Season and the Tales of's? Sure. The first two seasons of The Mandalorian? Definitely. Andor? After the first season more than anything else. But now that's done for good i'm basically starring at a big black void again. This might be part of the reason why i'm so excited every time when Lego actually does some much requested remakes or something entirely new based on the core Skywalker Saga to fill in the gaps.

Ironically I'm very excited for the Ghost Rider bike in the next marvel 1HY, but yeah, I get the overall point- both themes have weak 1Hys at the moment. I wonder if there's sales data showing that sets releasing in the latter half of the year sell better.

To be fair, it could be worse- by all accounts DC isn't GETTING a 1HY next year.

 

 

It seems like we're discussing whether or not people are getting burned out by the franchise as a whole due to the lack of variety and quality in many of this year's offerings (plus the indication that it won't change next year), and personally I am not. Whatever they do with current media, I've always got the old stuff to fall back on. I rewatch Ahsoka and reread the legends Thrawn Trilogy at least once a year. 

[Samppu]

Star Wars forever (at least all the pre-Disney stuff).

Lego sets, particularly the official minifigures,  haven't impressed me in years, but that's ok, as I only build mocs anyway. The custom minifigures are plenty, they are generally of *better* quality than the official Lego while costing only like 10%, so even if the whole theme collapsed altogether, it would affect me only little.

Still a little, though. We still do get cool new alien molds at least occasionally, like the Sullustan mold last year and the new Kaminoan mold Lama Su this year, and there have been some other happy surprises like the molded hair & officer cap combo with Dedra.

To be clear, this just refers to the Disney era of Star Wars movies and shows. Beyond that, there are a variety of games, both new and classic re-releases, to keep my occupied. There is obviously Lego Star Wars as well. In addition to rewatching older stuff and listening to the soundtracks. So yeah, i'm always getting my fix one way or the other. Star Wars is, was and always will be a part of my life. It's just my "take if or leave it" attitude that I've been building towards Disney's vision of Star Wars that can either enhance the overall experience or stick out like a sore thumb. 

 

But back to topic, since so many Death Star plans leaked all at once and we already got a blurry look at the top of the box, how much longer do you think until we see the whole packaging in true potato leaker fashion? Next month, i guess.

What is LEGO thinking with the Death Star? Has designing the Aslume set driven them insane? I demand the man who pitched “rectangular, advent calendar style, wall-art Death Star for $1000” to visit Eurobricks’s Aslume post haste.

Potential hot take here but I would've just preferred a remake of the 2005 death star 2 for around $500, no interior. A giant diorama of scenes just isn't as cool to me.

Sorry to dissappoint, but I don’t believe that’s a hot take at all. Maybe not at $500, since the model in my mind would become too big not to have at least a room or two; regardless, a $350 DSII of exactly what you described is my dream set. Dioramas fulfill the location aspect, so go all in and make a UCS DS a vehicle set first.

Speaking of minifigure details, a new Princess Leia torso has been leaked for the upcoming Death Star. Don't know if it's more screen accurate or not, but she now has five belt buckles instead of three. 

Nobody’s commented on this yet, so I guess I’ll be the weirdo who does: Why is that Leia’s belt has progressively become tighter on her, lol?

Pleasantly surprised to see the ANH trio receive updates to their figures. Things like Luke’s brown trousers and Han’s low collar are welcome additions/semi-returns. However, I believe we’re at the point of accuracy that I’d rather see that budget diverted to add new characters instead. These 2025 renditions of Han and Luke may be the two best we’ve gotten to date, but I don’t think Leia absolutely necessitated a new torso (at least, not before we phase out that terrible 2019 face). It feels like a mismanagement of budget.
I’ll add that if it must be to the main trio, then why not add variation? Different expressions for the characters, more accurate faces, unique weathering for different environments. I wonder if the minifig designs delete their project files after so many years, and thus make a whole new design to keep around for another five years, just in case they need to create a variant. Maybe each graphic designer just wants to make his mark on the classic design? Again, the use of minifig designs feel terribly mismanaged.

 

Oh, before I forget: Dear LEGO, not including dual-molded legs for the Imperial officers is stupid. Without boots, they look like they’re wearing pajamas and rather silly at that.

I’m in the same boat as you, I think. The issue is that it used to be that both were possible; remembering fondly on the triumphs of the past and looking forward to an exciting future. Nowadays people have only the former of those options. There’s some to be said for rewatching something with fresh eyes; that cannot happen unless there’s new media to distract from and recontextualize–better yet enhance–the old, beloved media. Watching Rogue One after seeing Andor S2 is a prime example. A negative example would be… well, Kenobi to the OT or Mando S3 to the earlier seasons. It takes a discipline to enjoy something on its own, yes, but the same media fondly remembered, no imagination stirred or hope revived, is how a franchise dies.
I can only hope Maul: Shadow Lord will do that for TPM and Ahsoka S2 for S1. (I just don’t see how the Mando movie can add depth to S1-3, but I’m hoping for a fun adventure with two of my favourites nonetheless.) Still, these are small potatoes compared to an TFA or Mando, and anything else is too abstract to gage our expectations. Why, none of the rumors around Starfighter involve any titular starfighter!

ABSOLUTE CINEMA!

 

That’s completely justified, let the light of the Tie Avenger compel you to work wonders. For it is the set that was promised, and the only one we may see from the holy trinity. (The Tower, the Tie Avenger and the Venom Horse)

We’re all in this fight together. I am merely in the vanguard. If you have found a funny way of continuing the campaign, do post it.

(I do have a roadmap for the next few weeks)

Somehow Lifebricks returned. And he seems to think that the $70 imperial set is hype whilst the $100 Rebel set is mid. (While I don’t agree with his style and character, he was one of the first to tease the night trooper Battlepack, and evidently has had prior knowledge of rumours before they were publicly released.)

I'm a mix of sad and relieved with all the Death Star news. Sad because you want the first $1,000 set to blow you away (pun intended), especially when it's Star Wars and the Death Star. Relieved because I can potentially put that money toward other sets in which I'm really interested.

I think the only way I'll be interested is if it's indeed some sort of half-sphere with the laser/shell as a facade and rooms on the other side. I'll wait and see whatever it turns out to be, but I'm skeptical anything else would compel me to purchase it.

If it's terrible, I'll probably go for the Black Pearl and Hogsmeade instead.
