Gingerbread AT AT leaked.

Looks cute. But not $80 worth of cute. Maybe I’ll get it as a family build if on sale.

 

Though I’ll say, a 2nd minifig would have made it feel a lot more worth it. And I know we’ve had enough of clones, but including this guy would have been a fitting end to the year. And in theme for the set. And a guarantee that it’d sell well among clone bros. I’m honestly suprised Lego didn’t do it.

 

Edit: actually it’s $70 but I still think it should have had at least one more minfig

Those candy cane laser cannons are genius  This will make a nice companion to the Xmas X-Wing!

For me the top three are:

• Aayla (the best 2025 minifig by a country mile)
• Clone Cadet
• ISB Tactical Agent

I don't own any of them though. The Clone Cadet has a very useful torso and legs for kitbashing. I imagine some kind of corporate security trooper (with different arms and heads and a helmet).

Since I bought only the microfighter, Plo Koon is the only 2025 minifig I own. Depressing actually 

 

Mine remains Plo Koon. As long as i don't get the V-19, this minifigure is basically unbeatable for me. The Clone Cadet, if pretty simple by design, is an honorable mention for me. Like i don't know if you can make him look any better than what we've got.

If we count every figure this year, it’s an easy to compile list for me (in no particular order):

• Babu Frik
• TROS Senate
• Galen Erso

They have been my top 3 most wanted minifigs for a while, so it’s no surprise they also make the top of this list

Yep, it's always exciting to finally get your hands on some personally requested, long overdue figures.

Yeah, exactly, that sort of thing. Of course there's always more marketing when a new project is out, but even if seeing the coca cola can won't get anyone to watch a non-existent new project, it might get someone to rewatch one of the movies with their family that night on disney+ or something. It's a smart move from a brand perspective and from my perspective I just like seeing star wars stuff around (even if in this particular example I don't drink soda.)

 

Out of revealed minifigures, I think we've got everyone but Gingerbread Vader (who I do think leaked), so that's a wrap unless the GWP has a new TIE fighter pilot print or something. I haven't bought any of this year's sets, but looking on brickset, I'd have to go

Yeah, it always was and always will be a smart and somewhat obvious marketing move to combine the need for groceries with your love of your favorite fictional IP. 

 

Really like the look of the Gingerbread Vader. Brings me back to the previous style of holiday themed figures from the original Advent Calendars, which i do definitely prefer over the newer, more generic looking ugly christmas sweater ones.

In this case I want the Super Commandos. I didn’t buy the Mandalorian Speeder in 2013 and they will be a nice addition to the Season 7 sets.

 

My favorite sets are the Acclamator and the Kamino Training.

I like all the new clones but my favorite minifigure is Lama Su.

They will be indeed. The other half will be a gigantic waste of space, though. 

Lama Su will be mine soon and it will definitely be one my favorites.

Here’s another thing I don’t get about Clone Army building culture. Why are they amassing legions of phase 2 clone troopers on grey base plates and demanding more P2 sets, when it’s P1 we see in formation on that scale. With the only exception being the operation Knightfall.

I’m honestly of the opinion that P2 is more suited for army building at most a platoon or company. P1 makes more sense to make battalions out of because of the scenes AOTC

I hate the style of P1 clones, I avoid them like the plague. P2 “my army” is normally 10 of each. But that’s the same for any faction I collect within SW except for battle droids which I just have a billion of. 

Gingerbread looks cool would be better if it was edible :D

Nice printed cape on the gingerbread Vader! Curious whether he'll have the usual Vader face, the unburned one from the Dark Falcon, or even a new candy-themed one.

Yeah I tend to judge minifigures purely on accuracy. Like, sure they aren't the coolest design but those cadets are absolutely flawless in terms of being a LEGO-ification of the source material. 

Being a cool design then follows on from the accuracy baseline, so figures like Plo Koon, Lama Su, and General Obi-Wan which meet the accuracy requirement AND are cool designs are very high on my list. 

The 327th and Galactic Marines, while they do kinda look cool, are absolutely awful for accuracy so are at the bottom of my list (I think I've gone on enough rants about them lol).

Yeah with battle droids and the 2008 Stormtroopers I just naturally seem to acquire so many of them on the side of getting other figures I actually want in bulk lots and stuff like that. 

Gotta disagree on P1 Clones though- love those guys. 

[BrickPrick]

AT-AT lifestyle images are out and the Gingerbread Darth Vader actually has some sweet looking cape printing. For 60€ this set seems to be a fair deal in the Lego Star Wars world. That's exactly what i want to see. If you only get this single minifigure, you want a better price pro piece ratio (useless as this metric may be) than you are usually getting. Like if you fall short in one aspect, you just need this counterweight in order to be still providing reasonable overall value, which is apparently the case here. Very tempted to build this for christmas. 

Edit: beaten by like two seconds. 

 

@CallumPears: Yeah, i appreciate some much needed accuracy as well. Not nearly on the same level as you do. I like the occasional creative freedom here and there. And sometimes cool looking characters can be enough for me. But what i don't like is doing things for the sake of it. So i won't ever blame Lego if they do a simple looking character justice. No need to do details where they don't belong. At the same time, of course, you may prefer other minifigs that are more detailed by design and also accurately executed.

That's reasonable- but I can't help but wish lego had just done a pack of four red mandalorians. Aside from forcing anyone who wants to get red mandos to either abstain or army-build 332nd troopers- which already had a battle pack recently- the fact that it'll almost certainly be 1 male and 1 female mandalorian, and each gender has a different helmet and chesplate style, means that you can't really mix and match parts to prevent any multiples from looking identical.

plus it actually felt like you were buying the whole Death Star due to the spherical shape

This is the big thing for me. No matter the piece count or figure count or price per gram, selling something that feels incomplete is always going to make the value seem off. Especially when a previous version had the complete shape. ESPECIALLY when it's the most lego has ever charged for a single set.

Actually, it's $60 (Though it seems like there was some discrepancy on the price early on and $60 is just where it landed), which feels pretty reasonable. 700 pieces for $60 on star wars in 2025 is a godsend, even if there's plenty of small pieces here and only one (albeit one very detailed) figure.

Yeah, this may be the only 2025 star wars set I end up buying, somehow.

Gingerbread AT-AT is very festive, that cape on Vader is immaculate, and the value is surprisingly good. I may pick this one up. I appreciate that despite the smaller size they kept those big ratchet joints in, which will make it much easier to pose.

I just don’t get it.

Someone really needs to make a MOC of that scene from AOTC with the Acclamators.

Somehow, Mando Man's purchasing power has returned. 

Yeah, as is well documented at this point, i don't mind the downscaling as long as it's source material scale is properly conveyed and intact for the final product. This obviously isn't happening in this scenario, but due to this vehicle having nothing to do with the actual canon, i don't mind this too. On the contrary, i think the more compact size works in favor of the festive design. Besides, i don't wanna see Lego charge 150+ bucks for this.

Yeah my thoughts as well. There are multiple Mauldalorian designs in the episodes from season 5, and more in season 7. Definitely could've picked a few of those for the 4 figures in the pack, and then allow for mixing to make custom ones. 

I do have a decent number of the 2013 figures (14), but those don't have leg printing and there's a good chance at least one of the ones in this upcoming set will just be an update of that since it's the most common design.

Speaking of which, would we prefer if they had a realistic hand or a LEGO claw-hand print? I'm definitely on the realistic side. 

It's not so much of an issue with the Mando S3 pack since there are already a bunch of blue Mandalorian figures to mix parts with, and the Imperial Commandos which make up the opposing force in that set were brand new and very good figures. Unless they've vastly improved the helmet print on the 332nd (e.g. got rid of the gaps so they basically look more like the GCC version) they're surely just going to be 1:1 with the previous pack, which is the one I think I've seen on clearance the most so they won't exactly be a draw for people to buy the set.

It's such a frustrating choice, honestly feels like they're only doing it that way because it means that even if you bought a bunch of the Ashoka troopers already you'll still have to get a ton of this pack to have a decent number of enemy Mandalorians for them to fight. I get why Lego might prefer to move in the direction of 2v2 BPs now since there are so many different factions to cover, but of all the ones they could do this with it seems like one of the worst possible choices.

[BrickPrick]

Where are you, Jango Fett? You're here! You're not unsuccessfully attempting to escape with your battle damaged jetpack, right before mercilessly getting decapitated by a dude with a purple lightsaber (because he asked the creator of this whole thing if he can get purple), which was even more brutal in the deleted scenes. You're here! You're right here, and you're ready to fight! 

Yep, that's one solid looking Jango Fett minifigure from top to bottom. Sure, the deleted arm printing is somewhat unfortunate. Looks especially basic when you compare him to many other modern Mando minifigs. But like i said before, i can get behind the idea of downgrading from expensive UCS sets to much more affordable play sets. It's the lack of maintaining a certain quality standard from your typical UCS set to an even more expensive one that i don't get at all. Anyways, love the new rangefinder piece. You can finally turn it down without this flimsy finicky thing falling down. Given a constant supply of extra parts, i can hopefully fully replace my current collection with this new piece one day. 

Lama Su is as incredible as expected. His impeccable head gotta be one of the most magnificent Lego Star Wars moulds i have ever seen. The printing is spot on all around. Just the lack of back skirt printing was a little surprising to me. But i guess there wasn't anything but a few lines for some folds you could have added there. Said it numerous times and i will say it again: Lego is very good when designing these alien characters. It's almost as they need some sort of challenge to succeed, but fail when it comes to paying attention to more subtle details. Speaking of failing...

I don't wanna talk about the young Boba Fett fig. 

Always happy to finally lay my hands on some missing minifigures, especially characters based on the PT era, which still has a lot of untapped potential. But yeah, that's two more down, lots more to go!

The Gingerbread AT-AT is actually so adorable omg I need it so badly

The interior is so great, and the Vader figure has a TWO-COLOURED CAPE IN THE SOFTER FABRIC WITH INCREDIBLE PRINTING??? (This is clearly where the cloth kama budget has gone this year)

And the price isn't even that awful??

Exactly. This is a circumstance where while the ship is downsized beyond what would normally work for a system set, there are extenuating circumstances. It's a festive non-canon representation- nobody's going to be using this as the centerpiece of their imperial army's might.

Exactly. And it's not necessarily relying on TCWS7 either, "red mandalorian" fits pretty much anywhere in the saga and it's by far the least represented primary color. (I'd really appreciate some without the Maul handprint to use as generic mandalorians, but they aren't very prevalent). I don't think adding 332nd troopers is going to add much of a draw considering, as you say, there's so many on clearance shelves right now. 

Ooh, good question. I don't know, to be honest. I could see the arguments either way. I think I'd prefer the claw in lego media like RTG or a game, but for the physical figures I think the handprint does work as it's reflecting painted details on armor rather than an actual hand.

Yeah. My view of the Mando S3 pack may be slightly skewed by it having one of the best battle pack builds of all time, but I think it's figure selection made more sense.

It's the only thing I can think of. Even if it was just some exec going "this algorithm says people bring up clone troopers and mandalorians, can you do a battle pack of both of them?" or something, the 332nd was probably the worst legion option out of the colors at the siege of mandalore. Using the 332nd out of all legions feels almost spiteful.

Had this been a pack of 4 red mandalorians, I would have absolutely army-built it. Even if it had been 2 red and 2 blue (which I have plenty of from the various battle packs and other sets they've been in), I'd probably have gotten one or two. I will not be buying any of these.

Yeah it's a fun, festive build, has a crazy good figure, and a suspiciously good price.

This... might be my favorite set of the year? Wild statement, I know- it's funny that the last one I said that about was also a non-canon set. Though in this case I'm pretty confident I'll be picking it up.

I like to imagine this is just playing from Wat Tambor's speakers as the life leaves Jango's eyes in the arena.

Yea I get clone fatigue but ngl I’m rooting for a new Wolfpack Trooper and P2 Commander Wolffe for the $44.99 spot, it’s the last legion I really want. It’s also really the only thing I want from Lego Star Wars that feels somewhat realistic, I own all the OT stuff I want and all the PT stuff I want will probably not get made (Theed Palace, Geonosis Droid Factory, Geonosis Arena, Bounty Hunter pursuit remake, yada yada) Zero interest in Disney era Star Wars besides Andor. 

I still want a bantha and a Rebel Transport, but yes, the OT is very well represented in Lego.

The prequels. So many things missing but they are not “iconic” enough for a lot people and Lego doesn’t trust they will sell as well as the countless OT remakes.

But I am optimistic. Someday a Geonosis Arena, or a Jedi Temple or a Lucrehulk-class Ship will be released.

My thoughts on this exactly. This is indeed one of the cases where some creative freedom is more important than "accuracy". It was the right call to go midi-scale with this one. Now, if Lego releases the next Mando & Grogu AT-AT in this size for double the price or so, is another matter entirely. 

Yes... suspiciously good. This is like the first real Lego Star Wars christmas set made available to the public. So i can imagine Lego made the deliberate decision to kick things off with an appealing price point. And if it sells well, which it probably will, we might be in for a "treat" the coming years. But people are supposed to think "oh wow it might be much more expensive this time around, but i had such a good time with the last one." Preferably, just the latter part. 

Or Nute Gunray screaming at the top of his lungs... "She can't do that. Jango, pick up your head and shoot her... or something!"

No proper Bantha mould after over a quarter century is crazy. 

This. It's an open secret the prequels still has the most content left to cover and i don't know how anyone could argue otherwise. But yeah, there also seems to be some hesitation (no hate) on Lego's part to do certain sets. In terms of missing minifigures, i feel like we are getting up there. Slowly but surely. 

Yeah, cautiously optimistic about these things. Bringing back ancient sets after half an eternity for a modern makeover wouldn't be the worst idea in the Lego world, either.

Yeah, it’s an awesome set. I hope we see more like it.

 

So. If we’re assuming that the 930 piece $150 May set is a M&G AT AT… that means it’s only got 230 more pieces than the Holdiay AT AT. Let’s assume 25-30 of those pieces go towards minifigs and blasters. That leaves only 200-205 pieces to go additionally go towards the build. And for all we know around 100 of those pieces will go towards a AT RT side build. Should we be concerned?

It’s definitely going to be smaller than the last one. Although saying that the holiday one has loads of small pieces and an interior whereas a normal one won’t have that. Like the Xmas lights alone are probably a fair few pieces.

It will likely be overpriced, but to be clear, the holiday AT-AT is probably around 15% 1x1 plates/tiles (Hence the fact that it's a lego star wars set that somehow has a PPP of 8.5 cents- though I think it is still solid value overall). While we've shifted from fewer larger parts to more smaller parts, so I wouldn't say 2010's 815 piece AT-ST with 8 minifigs and a turret is likely, the part density of the 2025 holiday model is the other extreme. The TMAG one will likely be somewhere in the middle. 

Overpriced? To be sure, it's a 930 piece $150 set. Unless it's a new motorized one, it's overpriced. But that's not to say it's going to be close to the size of the holiday model.

Exactly. If this size is used for a normal OT one, that'd be an issue, but for a holiday one it makes more sense. I definitely wouldn't drop $150 on a full-sized gingerbread AT-AT, but I'm probably going to get this smaller one.

The first two are fairly clear to see, and the same reason- giant playsets are very rare in this theme. It took us 24 years to get Yavin, after all. We know Petranaki (Edit; I have been accidentally calling this the Pentaki Arena for probably 5 years now and no one ever corrected me on the name, do locations not count as Glup Shittos?) arena was explored at one point, I'm sure the specific difficulty there is the arena beasts- the original prototypes looked a bit rough, and while I'd love brick-built ones I know a lot of fans are very emphatically in preference of molded creatures. The jedi temple is a bit more surprising- it seems a "dollhouse" type one with 10-15 jedi would do very well- but again, it took us 24 years to get Yavin. Big playsets simply aren't all that common.

The Lucrehulk is a similar thing- capital ships are also fairly rare. We go about a decade between our ISDs, it's been 16 since the playscale Venator, and the rebels and seppies barely get anything. (The first order getting their single Resurgent-class, and the resistance getting nothing). It's likely in the same vein that we've never gotten a playscale mon cala cruiser (either of the main versions). And if we do get a separatist flagship, one like the Invisible Hand is probably more likely than the Lucrehulk. The Lucrehulk is simply an odd shape that would be hard to represent at that $160ish playscale size and stability with any sort of real usable interior.

Absolutely, we are on the same page on this one. 

Until it sees the official Lego light of day, the absence of the Petranaki arena will never not be mind boggling to me. Ever since it appeared on screen, it just screams big play set  and, like you said, highlights the lack thereof for this theme. The 2023 Yavin temple sort of reignited my hope that it might happen one day. And i think this exact format with 1000+ pieces, a dozen or so minifigs and a price tag of ~170 bucks would be extremely fitting for such a set. You've got your typcial facade for the arena and one of the main pillars. The creatures would be a hybrid of head moulds and brick-built bodies. Good results can definitely be achieved with what parts are already available. 

This actually reminds me to pay the wishlist thread yet another visit again. You posted some really cool PT stuff in there.
