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

[BrickBob Studpants]

Criticise the Turbo Tank all you want, but I cannot take any of that seriously, not when everybody ignores last year‘s UCS TIE Interceptor, which I hereby crown as my least favourite set they‘ve ever released. In my 26 years of collecting, I‘ve never had to repair any set as many times as this atrocity. Every time I reattach one of the hyper-flimsy lasers, one of the wings completely falls off, and the resulting imbalance causes the superweak stand to disintegrate, which then usually causes the instable cockpit to crumble too

I‘ve had to fix it at least 15 times, around half of which included the cockpit, which takes a lot of disassembling to even be able to reach to fix properly. I‘ve tried to relocate it so many times, and even on the transport it falls apart again, usually more than once 

Yeah, the CTT may be a bit unstable, but it‘s a masterpiece in engineering in comparison to this flimsy piece of poodoo. The Interceptor gets an A+ for aesthetics but a big fat F for stability. It‘s even worse than the 2023 UCS X-Wing, and that‘s saying something!

Sorry but I don't believe any designer who claims that compromises have to be made in 300+$ sets. Dual molded legs are perhaps not always necessary but Lego makes enormous profits, if they can't improve the printing quality (e.g. white/yellow on torsos/colored bricks) or reduce the amount of stickers than they can't charge such high prices.

Definitely not the designers’ fault, but I found it amusing hearing the ‘we didn’t have budget’ excuse applied to sets like last year’s Desert Skiff and Sail Barge. It’s one thing being mindful of budgetary constraints for smaller mass retail sets, but seeing it applied to sets that are $500 (and now this year, $1000) is laughable and tone-deaf. But hey, the corporate bean counters reign supreme. Even for smaller sets, the decreasing value for money and PPP ratios (again, it’s extremely concerning we did not get even one 1000+ piece system set this year!) must already widen profit margins by quite a bit, so hearing their budgets are also so cutthroat is a shame. I understand I’m trivialising what is a nuanced situation, but still.

It’s going to be an agonising wait for more details of the 2026 sets. Really not a fan of this newfound trend of 1HY sets being boring and uninspiring.

I highly expect 2026 to go as follows a May wave for Mando and grogu film. Couple of random cheap sets in June and August wave having follow up “spoilerish” Mando sets and a couple of sets from Ahsoka Season 2. 

I don’t see much room for anything else. For me I’m quite excited for those projects and I’m expecting a lot of new republic and imperial remnant sets to come next year.

It‘s been the new standard for SW and Marvel especially since 2021  To me, the clear highlight in the 1HY waves we know about so far is the Cobb Vanth set. New vehicle, new long-requested character, cool new variant. Oh, and the return of non-gimmick $10 sets! Other than those two, the 1HY stuff is rather mundane.

Looking forward to the M&G and Ahsoka S2 sets later on!

I hope you’re right. But I don’t entirely think they’ll go all out on M&G. Not when they’re obviously prioritising clone and 18+ sets.

 

I’d like some Rogue One and Imperial Remnant sets. It’s just a real shame the 332nd took the cheap Battlepack slot for next year.

The last exceptionally good January wave was 2022. 2023 was also good, but it should have kept up with minifig packs.

 

 

Speaking of which, minifig packs should just return. They obviously sold well. And it would mean that Lego could cater to army builders of 3-4 different factions rather than just 2 a year (with one of that 2 always being clones for some reason)

Honestly I think the problem is that it doesn't! I'm being slightly hyperbolic but if it'd just been a more standard AT-ST that let you remove the head section, it'd have had way more play value and been more accurate to the movie. Still don't get why they didn't go in that direction with it.

And they said Infinity War would be the most ambitious crossover of all time…

Cal, Jaxxon, Padme, Cassian, evil K2S0, Ahsoka, Porgill!!

Look who’s back. Back again. Darth Jar Jar’s back. Tell a friend.

Is there a lore reason why Solitus has more aura than any other Disney era villain?

Lego please tell me you paid Cameron to voice Cal. And that a condition in the contract is that there must be a poncho joke in the script.

Edit: Hunter’s there as well surprisingly.

Edit (again): HOLY CRAP! REVAN’S IN THERE!! I REPEAT! REVAN’S IN THERE!!! THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!! Legends is being referenced. Mara might actually make an appearance.

Rowan Freemaker, Mara Jade, Jek-14 and Starkiller in season 3?

The difference is that one is a “playset” and the other a “dis-playset;” one is supposed to prioritize accuracy over stability, while the other is supposed to do the opposite. (Ironically, the Tiny Tank is neither entirely accurate nor stable.*)

Nonetheless, no LEGO set should be as unstable as you’re describing, agreed.

The U-Wing is doing well. And hopefully that is the key to Tie Avenger.

Actually, Andor S2’s premiere episodes were the last to be filmed. Particularly the Tie Avenger in the Sienar Hangar scene. 

 

Is that heresy I smell? The Tie Avenger will be made. Fate demands it. /s

I hope it is. Everyone I’ve seen has sung the praises of the ARC-180, V-19 and Jango’s Mini Slave 1, but I’ll keep saying that the U-Wing is the real winner this year.

“Somehow… I’ve always known.”
So that’s why Deigo Luna looks a tad bit older in early S2 than later, so that the jump from the finale to Rogue One is smoother. Brilliant.

Look, now that I know Mara Jade is the official sponsor of the TIE Avenger project, I’m on board. (That Tower of Fate set ought to come with a mini TIE Avenger build for Mara to pilot, methinks.)

It’s worrying. It’s almost as if they can’t afford it. In other words the higher ups are squeezing budgets or more likely production costs are higher. There’s no other explanation. 

It’s funny how we went from Thrawn having dual-molded legs in a $55 set and a GwP this year to no dual-molding in the most expensive LEGO set to date.

My thinking is that dual-molding is expensive, yes, but it was possible to spread out that expensive across multiple sets and themes last year and this year. Now, we see those LSW—as well as several Marvel sets—with dual-molding phasing out of production this year, while the sets set up for long-term production come without dual-molding.

Why they can’t afford to spend the extra funds is beyond my understanding. If I may speculate, TLG is stretching themselves too thin with so many different licensed IPs, like they did in the early 2000s with their own in-house themes, that they need to cut costs on the bestsellers to make up for losses elsewhere.
(I say that when the Galactic Marines are one of the most deluxe army-builders in the past couple years, granted, in a very overpriced set.)

 

 

*I’m shocked nobody has pointed out how the wheel-builds of the Tiny Tank are disproportionate to the in-universe model. The in-universe model’s wheel are taller than they are wide, but the LEGO model’s wheels are wider than they are tall. If the design had used 8x8 wheels, I think it wouldn’t look so tiny.

Exactly! You should be able to at least touch a display model without it falling to bits!

And after careful reassembly, I slowly moved it into the room, ready to place it on a pedestal which I then planned to slooooowly move to its new final resting spot. Well, its actual final resting spot will now be a friggin LANDFILL since it fell apart again not even 3 seconds after I placed it there!! What is it with this thing?!

Are they? (Sorry; long post ahead)

They have a very good mould for the helmet, but other than that they're heavily flawed figures and after waiting years for Galactic Marines is this seriously the best they could manage? 

Some of these are bigger issues and some are nitpicks, but all of them are problems which should not have been difficult for the designers to notice with how much they brag about how "every garment has to be perfect" and so on. Roughly going from top to bottom: 

The print on the helmet is both prone to misprints and even the best-printed ones are still inaccurately designed. There is an argument that the eyes should be green. I agree, but the black is fine. However, they should not have that grey outline around them and also rather than being fully-separate eyes they should be joined in the middle, and the print should go right up to the edge of the red section with no white above the eyes. 

They're supposed to have shoulder pauldrons- a reuse of Fives's in solid black would've been perfect. 

The shoulder strap goes down on the front of the torso when it should go off to the side. It should be the same as the ones the 327th which are also inaccurate due to only having 2 pouches but you'd think they would've chosen one or the other with how much they blather on about "consistency". 

The torso has a mistake with the belt where the large and small sections are in the wrong order. Every single Clone minifigure ever made to date had this correct, until now; it's very strange that they actively chose to get it wrong on the Marines when they could just copy/paste it from the standard Clone template (see the issue with the legs down below...). 

The back print of the torso is inaccurate as the panel should look completely different. Not too big of an issue since it's covered by the backpack but still pretty stupid that they didn't just do it right anyway. 

A physical cloth kama would obviously be nice, but as much as I hate the printed ones I can accept them as a stylistic choice. However, it is inaccurate as they should have a grey border (ironically they wrongly put the grey edge on the 327th troopers' kamas when those are supposed to be solid dark tan, so they got it wrong both times). They even have the black outline printed to separate the border from the main part of the kama, but then it's fully coloured in dark red anyway. 

If they weren't going to give them physical kamas, then I think it would look much better to have the legs in dark bluish grey. Same issue as the recent ARC-170 pilots where for some weird reason they made the entire leg the colour of the boot. It's equivalent to if they gave Imperial Crewmembers and AT-ST Drivers fully black legs and just printed grey on the top half of the front. The best solution for the Marines would of course be dual moulding with white for the boots, dark bluish grey for the hips and "thighs", and then a cloth kama to wrap around. Since obviously dual moulded legs are just so much to ask of this poor innocent billion-dollar company, it'd still make more sense to me to use grey as the base colour. 

The boots and kneepads. Probably the most egregious part that most people already know about by now. Galactic Marines are supposed to have the same kneepads and boots as the 41st Elite Corps Scout Troopers. They were clearly just too lazy to make a new design (which doesn't fill me with much confidence for the future possibility of Kashyyyk Troopers in the 2020 style). 

And Bacara isn't exactly great either...

Interestingly the 2015 UCS Tie Fighter is really sturdy for a UCS set, I didn't get the interceptor because of the angle of the stand.

Agree on every word.

I was kinda excited for the set, or rather for the minifigures as I almost exclusively build mocs anyway, before seeing the pictures. Now I feel no shame about using custom figures, which are actually of surprisingly good quality. Not perfect but as a whole easily surpassing Lego nowadays.

Yeah it's apparently going to be a mixed one with 2 332nd troopers and 2 Maul Mandos. Seems like a very stupid idea and I'd much rather have had just 4 Mandalorians (maybe a mix of 2 Maul and 2 loyalists, especially since after so many years we still have a bunch of fairly prominent Death Watch designs they never made such as the Lieutenant with the Mythosaur skulls or the one with the yellow lines on his helmet, or even just an update of the standard soldier since we only got those in 2011/2012 with no leg printing). 

Yeah it's an interesting mixture for me when I buy modern LSW. Typically I want either the build or the minifigures, but rarely both within the same set (and it's increasingly common that I don't want either, such as with the Juggernaut). 

E.g. I really want all the figures in the recent Star Destroyer, but would probably not bother with the model. If I find it on clearance or something I'd get it and use the pieces for various MOCs I'm working on such as an Interdictor cruiser I've been planning for a while. Or with the Yavin Rebel Base I just bought Luke, Leia, Garven Dreis and the Rebel ground crew figures separately and that was enough.

Meanwhile I bought 2 of the Tantive IV hallway sets cheap on eBay with no minifigures since I really like accurately detailed builds of ship interiors like that but have no interest in getting more Stormtroopers with the ugly modern helmet, I already have a few dozen Darth Vaders (I should put them all together on a grey baseplate and do a proper count at some point lol) and about 50 of the older style but still reasonably good looking Rebel troopers, and I have no interest in what I consider to be a quite poorly-executed Fives figure.

I'm literally over a year behind on stud.io projects, please stop giving me ideas.

You see, the difference is they knew the Peridea set would have a non-dymanic build and require excellent figures, whereas they're confident that anyone dropping a thousand dollars on a single set, whether they complain or not, probably won't be turned off by a lack of dual molding. It's scummy and a far cry from "only the best is good enough", but it's their logic.

At least with how they ended Survivor, it really seems like they're deliberately keeping him out of the main galaxy so he can come back for the New Beyond/Mandoverse stuff.

I think part of it's that- if you look at the ratio of licensed to nonlicensed themes, licensed is I think as dominant as it's ever been. Ninjago can't do all the heavy lifting- they need a new bionicle, either figuratively "new massive nonlicensed theme" or a literal bionicle ressurection.

The Mythosaur guy is an individual (despite the asset being reused in the background of some shots), so I would prefer to get him in a larger set (i.e. not a battle pack). 

The Death Watch variant with yellow lines on the helmet is an Airborne unit, and they make the most sense to appear in a battle pack of the three specialist types (as they would use the existing Mando jetpack piece), and the standard DW warrior would give LEGO an opportunity to finally make a proper Fett jetpack piece!
Hopefully we get a Death Watch/Mandalorian Loyalists pack at some point in the future (ideally with 1x regular trooper, 1x Airborne, and 2x female Nite Owls).

After having built my backlog of Mando S3 packs, I think I know why LEGO is going with this breakdown. The Mandalorians in that set look similar enough to the TCW ones (and the shade of blue matches TCW Bo-Katan even better than her Mando ‘fig); including 332nd Clones in the SoM battle pack allows all three factions involved to be built via the two packs that are available (the Mando one does not have a retirement date listed on Brickset yet, so I can see it staying in production alongside the TCW pack), while also doubling as a Clone pack and giving the Imperial Armored Commandos a numerical advantage over the Mandalorian resistance forces.

Now, we see those LSW—as well as several Marvel sets—with dual-molding phasing out of production this year, while the sets set up for long-term production come without dual-molding.

Source on dual-moulding being phased out?? That would be terrible if true, but I am not sure I buy it given that the Death Slice has dual-moulded Stormtrooper helmets and officers’ caps (one of which is actually a recolour, with brown hair).

Tie Avenger? Tie Avenger? Tie Avenger? (Day #114)

 

Also I think I’ve figured out Lego’s game plan with remakes: https://www.bricklink.com/catalogStatsWanted.asp?itemType=S&catID=65

Observe how many of these sets have been remade in some form or another over the last 18 months.

 

Therefore, here are some things to look out for next year: Dropship and AT OT, Ewok Village, Krennic’s shuttle, Tie Striker, Republic Frigate, AV-7, Z-95 Headhunter, Corporate Alliance Tank droid, Palpatine’s arrest, old republic set?

With a film out next year I really can’t see there being room for many other remake sets. Especially with the growth of the 18+ sets. It’s the first SW film of the 2020s they are going to go all out on the merchandising. We can all have our views on the D+ shows and whether they are good or not but SW at the cinema it’s all or nothing. They always put a lot of effort in to films even though people on here might be meh about it there are people out there who will go to the cinema for Star Wars regardless of the past and they will have all kinds of sets and crap to get people to spend money. Lego knows how to get money out of all of us and they know how to get new people to spend their money. I just can’t see a world in 2026 where we have a spring or summer wave that isn’t dominated by Mando and Grogu sets.

I think this is a case of correlation, not causation. 

If you look at this list the vast majority of it is split between clone stuff and UCS/MBS sets. Most of the sets on the list that have been remade also fall into those categories. I don't think it's so much that lego's looking at this specific list, and moreso that the general concepts covered are popular LSW subthemes.

Like, we're not getting a Fury-class remake just because it's high up on the list. I'd say the same with Krennic's shuttle and the TIE striker. And with the rest? I'm sure we'll get more GAR and separatist vehicles as ways to throw more clone legions into things, but again, I don't think it's because they're on this list, I think it's because lego thinks clones sell really well and wants to keep putting out sets that can include them. Same with the ewok village- some form of MBS endor has been a long time coming.

Isn’t MBS Endor basically confirmed? It was a part of that TandN leak where everything has come true so far. Plus, we’re overdue an MBS.

IIRC he claimed he was talking about the Death Star, which personally seems a bit flimsy to me. (I want to make clear I can't 100% remember if he was saying he meant the death star, or if people here just assumed that's what he meant.)
