There's always an exception, no disrespect to you or your army. I tried to army-build Jawas as a kid. And I've successfully built quite a stash of rebel fleet troopers, although I feel like that's more standard, they are kinda the main uniformed forces for the rebellion.

The Allegiance/Choices duology is the best stormtrooper-focused story I can think of, and the only one where the protagonists are stormtroopers who don't almost immediately join the rebels and instead continue to serve the empire. (kind of) But as you say, that's a few legends novels, not a cartoon aimed at kids. Not many grew up with it.

No offense taken, and no disrespect to you or yours either!

I did the same as a kid, they had the second hero battlepack ever, I don't think that one's odd tbh

7668 was a fairly popular set, if I recall. It’s one of the few I got two of as a kid, despite my very limited resources (as well as 7667).

Subjectively, I don't like the new Stormtrooper helmets (6 years is still "new", right?

Yeah, six years is still new, getting close though. I wonder if it’s too early to call the original ones ‘classic’ yet…

It's interesting that outside of Stormtroopers the modern Imperial figures have been pretty great. A couple of issues like the Snowtroopers not having backpacks and Thrawn having the wrong number of code cylinders, but e.g. Scout Troopers and the Imperial Commandos from the Mandalorian are absolutely perfect. 

I noticed the same thing. In fact, I prefer to army build newer Imperial officers and hunt around for older stormtroopers at used stores.

The empire is in a bit of a slump at the moment. But it can be fixed with 3 sets: Tie Avenger (Day #177 of asking for one), a AT ST or ITT and a versatile Imperial Battlepack.

 

You see, I already tried that. But the brain rot is uniquely strong with this one.

True. I hope we get some decent Imperial Remnant vs New Republic sets out of season 2 in 2026 at least. I’m assuming we’ll only get 2-3 though because of there being 2 plot lines (Peridia and Thrawn’s campaign) so at most we’d probably get 1 set for Peridia shenanigans, 1 Imperial set and a New Republic set (betting A-Wing.) Maybe a NR BP too.

We're about due for an AT-ST, and long overdue for a normal endor one. Unfortunately it doesn't seem like any of the march wave sets could be it- 75424 is $50 for 347 pieces, but I don't think that's it. The last AT-ST was the same price for over two hundred more pieces. Taking a 200 piece cut in three years for the same price is roughly in line with how LSW works nowadays, but I think it's more likely we'd see an AT-ST with a similar or greater piece count for more money. I just don't see how they could do one at 347 pieces in the modern design scheme, unless the set contained a smart brick and it looks like the new X-wing.

Interesting. The good news (maybe) is that it probably means they see you as "one of them" rather than a stuffy authority figure, but that would also mean you can't kill memes by using them yourself.

Those ancient droids or the nightmare fuel filoni sketches he's been tweeting would both make good buildible figure sets, I assume one of them will be the Peridea set and we'll get two NR/Imperial sets alongside it. If I had to guess we'll get Ezra's A-wing alongside some sort of imperial vehicle, and then a set based on the ground assault on Dathomir. Maybe a Chimera if we're really lucky, but it hasn't been too long since the last ISD and lego may also want to save it for the filoni movie if that ever ends up going into production.

I hope they downscale the next AT-ST, the one from the Endor bunker was closest to minifig scale.

Tragic, Boss Nass nation has yet to be built 

yeah, the few sets I want I'm very content to be patient and snag when a good deal forms. Can't imagine being a day one buyer, let alone a day one army builder.
 

Better yet, Smart Boss Nass figure who says "WAAAAR!" at random intervals at a very loud volume (you cannot turn him off)

My favourite thing about this dumb theory from like 2004 is it's technically not that far off, the movie does open with a loud proclamation of "War!" I remember there was a fan reading for ages the title crawls were R2 telling the story of the Star Wars, maybe they were just a little off, maybe Boss Nass is the secret narrator of the whole saga 

I don't need a Boss Nass nation, so to speak. I just want a Boss Nass minifigure. 

But yeah, given his natural disadvantages compared to aforementioned characters like the Kaminoans, some fan following might increase it's chances of seeing the Lego light of day. But how likely is that on the other hand? 

Yeah, me neither. And given I always prefer getting the smaller stuff first, moving on to medium sized things and leaving the bigger ones for last, means I never run out of sets to catch up to. Can't remember when (if ever) i got a heavy hitter in the same year it released. 

Oh for the maker's sake, Lego's got it's eyes and ears everywhere. So please don't give them any ideas... But this actually reminds me of a speaking Qui-Gon Jinn figure i used to have as a kid. 

Yeah, I also heard about the narrator thing. Though i like your idea better. 

On 10/17/2025 at 5:33 PM, Mandalorianknight said:

Yup. He's not any more desirable for kids or obscure than the kaminoans, he just got saddled with a less toyetic movie.

Yep, not much to add beyond this. While we already talked a lot about this, the bottom line is surprisingly simple.

You want Boss Nass but refuse to create a good environment for him to grow up in, maybe they're not gonna make him until you become a better carer.

So you want Boss Nass only as long as he can't speak back? I'm thinking you've got a lot to learn before you're ready for one mister

He tells the story back to back in reality which is why the last two feel so rushed, he essentially repeats what's happened in 7 for 8's crawl and is running out of breath by 9 which is why he rushes through important details in the crawl.

My money is betting 75424 is a regular snow speeder, using the new canopy.

Suspiciously same piece range 349 vs 347

Same age (7+) 

Same price (€49)

Even the set number is only one digit different (75414) :D

A (headless) farm boy Luke smart minifig leaked! Other smart minifigs will reportedly include training Luke, pilot Luke, Han, Chewy, Vader, Palpatine, Yoda, and Greedo, plus more.

Told ya it’s all OT sets (at least so far)  Damn my powers of manifestation!!

Don't forget that he has a huge circular sound icon printed on this back, along with two warnings on both sides of his torso.

Wow, does that look bad...

Yeah, I get that the side prints have to be on there for safety reasons, but that does look pretty bad  Fingers crossed the smart minifigs will only depict characters and versions we’ve had before! Imagine having a desirable new character, only for it to be ruined by the back and side printing

Also, the hips and torso are fused together.

It is quite impressive from a technical standpoint that they've managed to cram all that tech into such a small space. I still imagine I'll skip them though.

I wonder how water/dust proof they'll be...

[BrickBob Studpants]

At least they don’t have a lightsaber grafted onto their right hand and a non-removable head

Didn’t even think of that. Even accidental damage is going to break these more than likely. List of extra figures sounds like whole lot of OT sets but looks like I’m avoiding them and these smart bricks.

trying to figure out what sets would include these. Maybe a cantina, yodas hut, obviously the two fighters, just where would Palpatine fit in? Unless he comes with the TIE advanced. 

probably saving the prequels and clones for a second wave of these

Mara Jade "smart" figure in 2027

 

Based on the figure list, it sounds like we have a Cantina (Greedo, Han, farmboy Luke, Chewbacca), Yoda's hut (Yoda and training Luke), X-wing we already know (pilot Luke), Vader's TIE we already know (Vader), and something with Palpatine assuming he's not in the TIE. 

Edit: ah I got ninja'd lol

[Darth_Bane13]

I'd rather them just bring back light up lightsabers.

[Kaijumeister]

I wouldn’t be surprised if a new ANH Falcon is on the cards (although a Cantina is also viable) so Han / Chewie / Luke / Greedo’s inclusion would make sense. 

If the Smart Brick is working in a similar manner to the Mario Digi-Figs and produces different light / sound effects, I suspect physical features on models incorporating the Smart Brick will revolve around changing the tiles exposed to the brick to produce the desired effect. Think buttons or rotary knobs on the Millennium Falcon that correspond with engine malfunctions / firing turrets etc. whilst the presumable integrated accelerometers would handle all the ‘flying’ noises. 

Keeping an open mind but not terribly jazzed about the idea of smart-brick sets and figures dominating so many slots. The back printing for smart figures also doesn’t look great, although this won’t be such an issue for characters with capes.

This is a bit of a no-brainer now we have wireless charging, surprised it hasn't happened yet.

Be interested to see which set Palpatine comes in...

(Still crazy that we don't know exactly what these things are going to do yet)

[Tariq j]

Really not sure about this whole Smart Brick thing. It is impressive that they’ve managed to get a large amount of stuff inside the figure and I suppose if I was a young kid having a figure that could make all sorts of sounds or quote dialogue from the films or whatever could be pretty cool but I just think with the prices and the excess printing I’ll probably pass up on these.

Yeah I guess the good thing here is that they’ve chosen characters that we’ve seen many times before (some of which are still on shelves). I think what would kind of suck is if a character like say Episode 2 Anakin or Han in his Endor outfit or Phase 1 Captain Rex got the same treatment. 

Given all the sets seemed to be OT themed I’m assuming Palpatine would then come in a Final Duel set? Which would include Luke and Vader too. The other sets are from ANH/ESB so I’m assuming they’d want to do something ROTJ based as well.

Well, you don't need to have a whole nation when you're fine with just a small cozy village. 

Given that we now got our first look at this urgent smart figure business, I think I am quite content with Boss Nass not being able to speak for himself. 

 

Yeah, thanks... but no thanks to all this smart brick mumbo jambo. Hopefully Lego will be SMART enough by not doing brand new characters or versions of already existing ones with this smart stuff. 

The inclusion of Greedo obviously implies a new Cantina release. While this would actually be exciting news to me, without any new unique Alien minifigures thrown into the mix, it would be a huge missed opportunity. 

[Lobot]

This isn't looking that promising as far as I'm concerned - especially considering LEGO's previous history of anything remotely 'intelligent' apart from Mindstorms.  It just seems to be another excuse for a price-hike, with a few pointless gimmicks that most kids (presumably the target audience) will get bored of very quickly!  I actually quite liked the old light-up lightsabers, especially as the batteries could be easily changed.  I'll be amazed if these are still functioning correctly after a couple of years!

They won’t. I think the main reason they  don’t do this kind of side printing is because the print might rub off if you move the arms too much  Nobody’s gonna lose sleep over warning labels rubbing off

These are going to be the premium figs reserved only for the best sets I bet.  Like UCS level sets (sarcasm by the way)

also I wonder if that fancy side torso printing counts against their “frames”. Does Lego Star Wars only get so much per year and do these count against it?  and think of the printing costs.

lastly, I don’t hate the idea, if its executed well, but the back printing and side torso printing negates that to me.  And it will be at a premium cost.  Vader could be great with the cape covering the terrible back printing.  Figures without a cape will be poorly executed with back printing like that.

 

do we think the minifigure has A speaker in it or only activates smart brick when close?

Yeah I was already standing by to hate on whatever "smart" features they have, but the simple aesthetics of them being covered in ugly prints (I guess they need the warning labels? Could've hidden them better like inside the legs or something maybe), especially the back one, has been a bit of a curveball which has made them way worse. Is that back one going to be functional like a QR code or is it purely ""decorative""?

Could be that it still includes aliens, just without them being smart figures (which I would prefer, especially if they're ones we've not had before). 

What would a smart Greedo even do? Is he gonna shout MACLUNKY! and then explode?

Personally I'd never want them to do side printing anyway- it's why I avoid CAC and most knockoff figures- but yeah there is definitely a level of comedic value here.
