How dare you forget about: Vel, Draven, Cassian, Bix, Wilmon, the Ghost Crew, Kleia, Melshi, Jyn, Baze, Chirrut, Bodhi, K2S0, Raddus, the 2 POS senators, and the Maya Pei Brigade’s skeletons!!!

How dare you thinking i could forgot about any of those characters just because i haven't mentioned them in my simplified list? The way i see it, we would be lucky if Lego was to turn even half of these characters into minifigures in such a set! 

Your dedication for the illusive TIE Avenger is kinda crazy, by the way.

I'm currently looking at Bricklinking Tagge, Motti, Sim Aloo, and possibly Tarkin but we'll see whether this version or the 2016 one is cheaper

I am planning to either buy the set on discount or do this too.  The concern I have is the bricklink prices.  Yularen and Tarkin are combined well over $100 today, it makes me wonder if these will all be $50 each or more (plus I want Krennic and Erso).  That could put the prices for the officers at $350 at what I would say is the low end.  If they did a 20% discount at some point the $450 difference gets you a lot.  Either way it’s a wait and see (prices for officers vs. discount).  Plus you can probably sell the hot tub trooper (at least I would) to offset that by another $50 plus.

Day #123, 4, 5, 6 7 8 9
It's the ten Tie Avenger commandments
It's the Tie Avenger commandments
 

Number one!
The challenge: demand satisfaction
If Lego release the set, no need for further action

Number two!
If they don't, grab a new mould, that's your second
Your Pilot helmet, when there's reckoning to be reckoned

Number three!

Have your seconds meet face to face
Negotiate a price
Or negotiate a release date

This is commonplace, specially 'tween builders
Most disputes die and no one shoots

Number four!

If they don't reach a peace, that's alright
Time to get some bricks and a designer on site

You pay him in advance, you treat him with civility
You have him turn around, so he can have deniability

Five!

Build before the sun is in the sky
Pick a place to Tie where it's high and dry

Number six!

Leave a note for your next of wave
Tell 'em where you been
Pray that Tie Avenger or Fondor gets in

 

Seven!

Confess your sins
Ready for the moment of adrenaline
When you finally face your opponent

Number eight!

Your last chance to negotiate
Send in your seconds
See if they can set the record straight

Tie Avenger

Play-scale Venator, sir

Can we agree that lobbying for sets is dumb and immature?

Sure
But your man has to answer for his dominance,  Venator

With his wave?
We both know that's absurd, sir

Hang on, how many other eras were neglected because clone bros were greedy and ruinous?

Okay, so we're doing this

Number nine!

Look him in the eye, aim no higher price
Summon all the courage you require
Then count

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine
Number (Ten pieces!) Buy!

 

a little something for the Hamilton fans on the forum. I admit some of the alterations are a bit shoddy.

Yeah no interest in the Hot Tub trooper from me (ugly helmet mould and it doesn't even match the design from the games anyway) so that's an easy bit of cash back. 

I've already got 2 of the old Krennics (turned one into a generic ISB guy and used the head for a figbashed Cin Drallig) and an old Yularen so don't need those, and don't have much interest in Galen Erso. I'd like *a* Galen Erso figure, but I don't think this one is very well-done. The face doesn't look much like him, and I really don't like that they made him dark green. His suit should be the same colour as regular Imperial officers. Sure, those have a slight greenish tint to them but nothing close to LEGO's dark green, and if they make the officers grey then Galen should be too (especially with how much they go on about "consistency").

Of course, it still depends on whether the ones I do want are accurate.

Still miffed about the Advanced. It’s almost as if the designers heard we want a unique TIE with slanted wings that starts with an „A“, and then drew the wrong conclusion

A Yavin base would be a great MBS set for 2027

Yavin's probably my second choice. Ideally I'd like a new Tantive, which I think fits better for the anniversary, being the first ship we ever saw in the universe. But I'd love MBS Yavin as well (especially if it came with a system Tantive) and in either case it'd probably be my third UCS/MBS (after Boba's Slave One and the AT-AT).

Yavin and Tantive are 100% the best options for 2027. I don't want to get greedy for the anniversary (though it's the 50th anniversary of star wars- like, this was the first we ever saw of the universe... I feel like that's a big enough deal to get both UCS slots), but I wouldn't mind a UCS advanced in that May slot. (Hopefully we can get a UCS ETA out this coming May, it seems like such a layup and I'm surprised we got the Venator and Jango's Slave One first)

This was such a weird decision on lego's part. The Hot Tub trooper isn't in any story material- anybody who was asking for one in the set was doing do because of the old lego game. So why wouldn't you base it off that game? Sure, you'll probably get a chuckle out of a lot of casual fans, but it's not like you wouldn't achieve the same result with the classic Beach Trooper. (And the beach trooper wouldn't have required dual-molded legs. In a set where several characters are underdetailed, why are we spending a dual mold to make a character who didn't need it inaccurate to the source material?)

Obviously one figure in a $1000 set isn't really the selling point, but it's wild to me that they made this choice because for the life of me I can't understand what the benefit is.

I'd go so far to say that if the Advanced isn't a smart brick set (which I doubt it is- 473 pieces for $70 isn't great, but it's not smart brick level awful, and I could easily see it using a number of large panels), there's no chance there's an Avenger in 2026. You can't put clones in it, and I haven't seen any indication that we're backing off the current "almost everything is clones or 18+ gimmick" trend enough to get two TIEs in the same year.

Now that said- and my obligatory reminder that not everyone's been able to buy every set released in the past decade and a decade is a perfectly reasonable frame for a remake of a major vehicle aside- come on, anybody expecting the Avenger this year was living in a fantasy land. (Oa, in the case of our willful friend) No Way Home took 1.5 years to get a set. And the TIE avenger is cool, but it's not like it or Andor season 2 were absolute smash hits anywhere near the level of, say, baby yoda. (which took almost a year to get just a brickheadz, and I think we can assume that that's the combination of absolute max incentive to make a set and absolute minimum effort required). We know the standard development cycle of a set is 1.5 years. The absolute earliest I'd expect to see an avenger is january 2027, but that's as if the avenger was a popular ship from a smash-hit new movie. I loved Andor, but let's be clear, it's primary audience was adults and I doubt it did numbers with the 6-12 demographic. I think it's unlikely that lego's looking for the first possible opportunity to squeeze it into the lineup.

I think we'll see it at some point- it's a live-action TIE variant (though we never did get the outlander), and it's also just a pretty cool vehicle- but I doubt lego's scrambling to get one made.

The Outlander not getting made is understandable though, as all it really is is a regular TIE Fighter with foldable wings   Not that it would‘ve stopped them had they wanted to release a set regardless.

The timeframe argument only makes sense if you assume the designers only learned about the Avenger when S2 first aired. Sure, you could argue they would’ve released it already if they wanted to cash in on the show, but maybe there‘s a good reason they didn‘t do it this year. I‘m staying cautiously optimistic ^^

Yep, this dedication is quite the effort. Always enjoy reading through his postings, even though i don't get all the references. And i think he absolutely is prepared for the long run. Seems to be holding his own very well so far. I could imagine staying away from this forum for a couple of months and the first thing to come across again would probably be "day 200+ of TIE Avenger requesting" like business as usual. This man is on a mission and I'm here see him succeed. 

I hope the TIE Advanced will at least come with some above average interesting minifigures. Something we don't get every day.

It'd be a miracle if the selection was anything above average. My guess is 3 repeats from the Death Star: Darth Vader, a trooper (Stormie/Navy Trooper/Gunner), and an officer (or Tarkin). Good for anyone who won't get the DS and/or has been collecting for less than 10 years, pretty boring for everyone else

I would already consider someone like Tarkin as above average and this is the figure i had in mind as well. Of course, for everyone collecting the theme any longer than me, this would probably be nothing to write home about. Just think these sets offer some room outside the ordinary.

I think they should've saved the Tie Advanced for 2027 for the 50th anniversary of ANH, and release the Tie Avenger this year while Andor is still relevant. They definitely knew about the Tie Avenger long enough to have it out in 2026. Even though kids don't watch Andor I think it looks cool enough to be popular among them, plus the obvious large teen/adult market.

Yeah there’s been a big decrease in location based sets over the years. Yavin IV was pretty lacklustre and the next location set is $999. I like your idea for Yavin, you could do the same thing for something like Hoth too. Like maybe a Hoth medical bay as its own set (something they’ve done before), then the control room as separate set, and then the hanger and doors as another set etc.

It’s the approach I wish they’d taken for the Death Star. 

This concept sounds great and works perfectly well in Harry Potter.

Perhaps I would rather use it for something else than the Death Star, though. A collection of Hoth locations or even Naboo or Coruscant locations, granted, the latter ones being more of a fantasy than a realistic possibility.

It would be nice to have the Tie avenger sooner than later (if not at all). The design is quite fine and its amount of screen time is good enough as well. That would be a nice 50-70 set depending on how far Lego would try to upsell it to us.

I mean... technically speaking about half the tie variants we get are regular ties with different wings.  Not to mention that I'd wager the amount of kids who watched mando is well over than 10x that of Andor. (And again, because I know people like to conflate things, this isn't a statement on show quality.) -But I am being pedantic there, I get what you mean, it's TIE bomber/TIE shuttle level similar when not landing.-

But there's the counterbalance of if they wanted to make it when they were provided with the concept art, why wouldn't we have seen it around Andor S2's release? We had no TIE fighter in 2025. The U-wing is arguably both closer to the existing 2025 starfighters at that price point (being a primarily white good guy ship) and more spoilery than the avenger.

If lego wanted to make it from the get-go, we would have seen it already. If they started making it because of perceived demand, it wouldn't have been ready by 1HY 2026.

Tarkin in a system set would be a massive win for fans, even if you don't have death stars and arguably even if you've been collecting for more than a decade. As someone else here pointed out, this'll be the first time we've gotten Tarkin in the right suit in a system set in two decades. He's one of the main villains of the original film- I'd argue he's about as neglected by lego as his friend Dooku.

Now aside from him the figure list won't be anything shocking, but they could always give us spacetroopers. (Or pull a bomber and give us someone not strictly in ANH who fits the era)

Not necessarily. If you picked up the advanced/A-wing two pack in 2016, you could get Tarkin wearing a tan suit. If you want a tarkin in the right color costume, either you shelled out $500 for the Death Star, or you went back to 2006 for the star destroyer. This would be the cheapest set Tarkin has ever been in in the history of the franchise

Even though kids don't watch Andor I think it looks cool enough to be popular among them, plus the obvious large teen/adult market.

The issue is, as I say above, that they didn't want to make the avenger as of whenever they knew about it- otherwise we would have seen it around the release of the show. And if they just found out about it when we did, unless it was baby yoda level popular, we weren't going to get it for 1.5 years- so in terms of the next lego release wave from then, January 2027.

Again this is nothing against the avenger- I like the design, I loved Andor S2. But I think some people are letting hope cloud their judgement. There's not really a scenario where the avenger logistically pops up in 2026. I'd love to be proven wrong (unless it replaces my advanced) but the release window would logically have been 2025 or sometime 2027 or beyond. From now to the end of 2026 is that gap where too much time has passed for it to have been in development before show release as a tie-in, but too little time has passed for them to get one into production. (And again, even that January 2027 date acts as if the Avenger was NWH level popular, which- again- it isn't. I'm sorry. I like it, it's cool, but Andor S2 did not pull in crazy numbers, and the numbers it did make were definitely in the vast majority adults. A system avenger just doesn't seem like something they'd be rushing to production.)

Now maybe it's a designer's passion project and he convinces the execs to get it out there, but that's the only way I think we see one before 2027, if anytime soon at all. Really the best change the avenger has is showing up in TMAG.

This is how I would categorise it:

• Below average: repeats of common minifigs without any variation or army-building potential
• Average: repeats of rare minifigs, maybe with slight alterations, or common amassable minifigs 
• Above average: noteworthy variations, new minor characters
• Great: new sought-after characters, ideally with new moulded pieces

Hence why I fully expect the TIE Advanced to be average or below even

Yeah, i know when and where he showed up before, hence my above average rating. In hindsight, saying it "would probably be nothing to write home about" for anyone collecting Lego Star Wars longer than ~2017, was addmittably an exaggeration on my part. I might have been too much in @BrickBob Studpants mode then and there. But, of course, there can be a middle ground and thus, many people don't have a Tarkin minifigure, regardless of when they started to collect this theme. Thanks for pointing out my short burst of ignorance.

Okay, so by your definition, Tarkin being merely an average addition checks out. Since he is that rare of a fig to get, i would still give him the edge as above average. But even if not, the chances of a new minor character showing up in the TIE Advanced is in the realm of possibility. I mean, we had Sloane in the TIE Bomber before. Could see something similar happening for the Advanced. So yeah, it will land between average or above average.

If you own almost every set ever released going back well over a decade, sure, I can understand how this would be the criteria you create. But I don't think this works as any sort of accurate metric for the vast majority of buyers. The theme's been going on for 25 years, with the last of the original six movies out for 20, of course most sets based on the original six films aren't going to have never-before seen characters with new molds. 

It's crazy to me that the first sub-$500 tarkin in a decade, the first sub-$500 tarkin in his actual film costume in TWENTY years would be considered "average" under this metric. (let's be clear- the rebels one isn't like a minor variation, it's a completely different colored costume and different colored hair. It's got as much in common with the "major antagonist of the first star wars film" tarkin as TCW Yularen does with Colonel Yularen.) Dooku would be considered average under this. Zam Wessel would be considered average. Your average clone battle pack would be considered a better figure selection than a Palpatine's Arrest remake that somehow also includes Nien Nunb and Darth Revan so long as the clones have a new color stripe or different pattern of blue paint.

Day #124 of asking Lego to make a Tie Avenger in the foreseeable future.

(Jokes aside, the last time a tie took a hiatus from the year’s lineup (2022), the following year had 2 play-scale Tie Variants. So it is possible. But as @Mandalorianknight justifiably points out, it’s more unlikely in the current clone and 18+ dominated landscape)

I'd go so far to say that if the Advanced isn't a smart brick set (which I doubt it is- 473 pieces for $70 isn't great, but it's not smart brick level awful, and I could easily see it using a number of large panels), there's no chance there's an Avenger in 2026. You can't put clones in it, and I haven't seen any indication that we're backing off the current "almost everything is clones or 18+ gimmick" trend enough to get two TIEs in the same year.

Odym would be more fitting given the circumstances. Or even Tanalorr (which is mine)

My foolish hope, looking at the X-Wing sketch which can’t be more than 250 pieces, is that it’s actually a smart brick duel pack with the Tie Advanced which is why it’s so absurdly overpriced. I wouldn’t even mind if the $70 7+ set wouldn’t be a Tie Avenger, because at least then it’d still have a fighting chance for later in the year.

But you have a reasonable and valid argument. It’s just that after 2 years of Aslume and a year of disappointment, I am become delusion. Destroyer of sane predictions.

We agree a Tie Avenger would naturally be great due to the automatic required fig selection (Pilot Cassian)

I'm kinda sick of Clones now believe it or not, I love them but there's just too much now, I have everyone I need, I think my hunger was satisfied once we got the 327th and Bly, I wouldn't mind Wolffe but he's not really needed, I'm glad I finally have Rex,Cody,501st,212TH,Plain P2's,Bly,327th,Coruscant Guard and Fox to my collection

Is anyone here going to buy the Death Slice ? I kinda like it and makes for an ok display piece and I love the rooms and hangar bay, It's not worth 1000 but I'm saving up for 200euro worth of points off for it

Would have liked it to be a full sphere with panels and rooms

I like it I reckon there are loads that do but no one likes the price. I’ll probably get it from a 3rd party next year or two for 20-25% off maybe then I’ll get it

Welcome to the rebellion.

And again, even that January 2027 date acts as if the Avenger was NWH level popular, which- again- it isn't. I'm sorry. I like it, it's cool, but Andor S2 did not pull in crazy numbers, and the numbers it did make were definitely in the vast majority adults. A system avenger just doesn't seem like something they'd be rushing to production.

You’re right. Andor, like most D+ shows, was not a complete and utter financial success like the Mandalorian until Season 3.

But financial, whilst very important, is not the most important criteria of its success in my eyes. It’s revitalised hype for the Star Wars brand in among the General Audience and fallen fans after the thought to be irreparable damage caused by Acolyte (look at how Skeleton Crew did.)

Battlefront II resurgence, Battlefront 3 Campaign, Rogue One being a Top 5 most watched movie on Disney + for almost a month, Celebrities actively praising it (George R.R Martin and Pedro Pascal), Grifters and even some of the most anti-woke ‘fans’ begrudgingly admitting that Andor is quality and Disney hasn’t made ‘woke garbage’ on this one, the U-Wing supposedly selling well compared to other 2025 SW sets… it’s all connected. People are rising up and returning to Star Wars thanks to goodwill caused by Andor.

Andor is currently of little short term profit for Disney, but it’s going to be massively helpful for long term gain. You can’t have a successful franchise if there’s no fandom to sustain it. Andor’s quality and hype is actively replenishing the SW fanbase. Which will lead to a resurgence in merch sales and that’s where the real money is made.

Agreed, also love the LOTR meme for today.

Dooku would be considered average under this. Zam Wessel would be considered average.

That‘s why I didn‘t specify what a „noteworthy variation“ is  A new Dooku would likely not differ drastically from the 2013 one (it might actually be worse given how good that particular faceprint was) and thus indeed be average in my book. Zam Wessel however I would consider a significant upgrade since we never had a flesh-coloured one and the helmet would certainly be new too, and thus clearly above average. If the last Tarkin had been the 2006 one, I‘d feel similarly about that, or maybe even the 2016 one, but since he‘s already included in the new DS, he‘d be a mere repeat.

I think the death star is one of the worst and most disappointing UCS set ever made
