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. 

I don't either, the simplicity is the appeal with LEGO to me, the stylised look is what makes the depictions charming and timeless BUT if they were gonna happen it had to be like this because now, even though LEGO will only do it for like a year out of legal obligation until these sets crash and burn, no matter what the sorta people who go insane over not having minor details are gonna complain that X or Y figure don't have side torso printing from now until the end of time.

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

I know,, but people complaining will not take that into account. This will be a talking point forever now

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

Unfortunately (because I wanted a new normal snowspeeder and this'll be smart brick) you're probably right.

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

I dunno I think i'd take light-up lightsaber minifigures over smart figures. A little light doesn't bother me as much as whatever "ai" tech they've crammed into these things, and I HATE toys and collectibles that make noise. You just know that no matter what you do or how little charging it has, you're going to at some point hear Luke whining at a completely random time when you're not even near the figure.

The Smart-figs have side torso printing, amazing, I love this, the usual suspects will be so annoying about that going forward, funniest thing LEGO could do, hope they never bring it to regular figs

I think others have pointed out that unless lego is totally fine with the safety labels rubbing off, it's unlikely this is printed, but rather etched in some way, meaning they probably can't do it to the standards or colors you'd want for side torso printing (if anyone would want that... I don't know why you would)

I will army-build Smart Greedos if that's a feature.

 

 

Hate the smart figures with a burning passion. People have already brought up all the many reasons- unnecessary technical integration, imposition on creative play for kids, annoying noises, torsos and legs being welded hampering customizability, side and back printing making the figure look dumb, risks of wireless charging devices, etc. I really hope these dramatically fail.

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.

They could be, don't seem to have depth in the photo but might just be the image. Usually these things are just printed on though (OFC different though on an area that will have friction repeatedly applied guaranteeing wear)

I still reckon the big $160 fart brick set could be a Republic Gunship.

Wow these smart brick minifigs look horrendous! I don't know why Lego never learns that their tech integrations always fails... This smart feature is just an excuse to raise prices again, and this time it will fail again. Considering what happened with Vydio and Hidden Side these overpriced bad smart sets will warm shelves in stores and Lego will discontinue this feature in a year

Who are these people that you say will complain? Most of the complaints about modern LSW figures are things they could easily fix by checking the source material. I don't see anyone complaining about lack of arm printing or dual molded legs, unless it's in an overpriced/UCS set.

You don't? That's a massive one people always complain about in licensed theme, people complain a lot about "Star Wars figures don't get arm/side of leg printing while Dreamzzz does" too but dual molded legs I'm surprised by because they always are asked for on almost any figure. Just comes down to what sorta online spaces you go to I guess

Yeah, I know. That's what i meant by "thrown into the mix"... it's my only hope. But depending whether a highly likely Cantina contains smart bricks plus four smart figures as well, there might be not much room for additional Alien minifigs which might require new expensive head moulds.

Lego may take advantage of the "Han/Greedo shot first" debate and leaves it up to people's imagination to decide. In other words, he will do absolutely nothing.

The 20th Lego Star Wars anniversary replica figures, if you want to count those. Other than that, the redone Jedi Bob minifigure probably came closest to the oldschool design.

Yeah I suppose people do complain about dual molded legs. I agree given Lego's current prices though, they can do it for a $5 cmf. Yeah I know it's a very first world problem, but like how can you not give dual molded legs to figures in 1k set.

 

Yeah Hoth rebels and an A-wing pilot from the home one set.

Possible I guess, but the said is specifically named "Luke Skywalker’s X-wing" so I'm not so sure. You can also see pilot Luke's helmet in the leaked image. It's possible the set could have both versions but doesn't feel super likely to me.

They are adding a feature that nobody asked for, just so they could increase the price, banking that fans will buy it anyway.

[CallumPears]

Can't wait for them to make a Commander Bly with the details actually correct but this time they make him into a Fart Brick™️ figure. 

Hopefully these end up like Vidyo, so we can buy the discounted ones for the normal aspects of the sets and ignore the ""smart"" stuff.

Emperor’s throne room?

Yup. I can't understand what the appeal is here. Kids should be imagining the noises themselves, not need to be handheld by "smart" tech, and there's no way lego's marketing screwed up enough to make people think ADULTS were interested in this.

I would die laughing if the $160 set is the same emperor's throne room design they used in 2023 then downscaled slightly in the 2025 death star. The designer came up with it and was like "yeah, this is something special. We gotta make sure every demo gets ahold of this specific design scheme"

It's not even a bad design, it would just be so funny if they re-used it three times in four years. Especially if the smart brick jumps the price $60 in three years.

And there has never been a more important opportunity to hold the line. This isn't "don't buy the super overpriced sets if you want your legos to stay semi-reasonably priced", this is "don't buy the smart brick sets if you want your legos to stay... lego"

1 hour ago, CallumPears said:

Unfortunately I'm deeply concerned about the "normal" aspects of the sets. We can already assume most of the builds with be severely compromised to accommodate smart brick functionality if the X-wing is any indication.

 

My biggest gripe, and biggest point of confusion, is why these all appear to be OT sets. 

My biggest gripe, because I was begging for the clone onslaught to be abated and us to actually get some OT sets next year, and in a cruel twist of the monkey's pay they're all horribly compromised by smart bricks. Worse than simply not being normal OT sets, they reset the clock on when we'll get more. Good luck getting a normal OT snowspeeder or falcon anytime soon now that these abominations will be clogging shelves.

My biggest confusion because why choose the OT? Lego historically does like to start off gimmick lines with OT sets, but given the Clone Barrage of recent years you'd assume they think the clones or Mando hold more sway over kids. Why not use them? It's not like the 18+ sublines where your target demo is in large part older adults, they can't possibly think anyone over that 6-12 label on the box would be interested in these.

[TeddytheSpoon]

I think the thing to remember about the whole 'LEGO tech never works' is that these are based on the Super Mario system, which by all accounts seems to have been a success (notwithstanding some vocal complaints online). I can see price being the bigger issue if the sets are only going to get more expensive. Even now, I can count on one hand the number of SW sets that came out this year that I'd consider good value for money.

That’s what’s kind of bugging me. Something like the light-up lightsabers (there were only 5 of them I think?), appeared in regular/normal sets that were reasonably priced like the Wookie Catamaran or the 2005 Clone Turbo Tank. Whereas here the design of the X-Wing has been compromised to accommodate the smart brick. If you didn’t like the light-up lightsabers you could just toss the figure aside and you still had a really cool set to play with but here once you lose the smart brick you’re kind of left with an empty shell of a set.

I’m really glad it’s only the OT (so far) because the likelihood of a character ending up only being represented by a smart minifig is very close to 0. With the PT or Mando, there’d be a real risk of a smart minifig being the first (and perhaps only) version of a desirable character

Same goes for the builds. Looks like it’s all stuff we’ve had dozens of times before

See, I wonder if it is the best sellers are always the core OT vehicles (X-Wing, TIE, Falcon, Snowspeeder, etc) but the other downstream OT sets like A-wings, the 68 different pointy TIEs, the Rebel and Stormy battlepacks don't do as well as Mando/Clone shit. So when LEGO does something risky they start with the safest bets but in a regular wave there's always an X-Wing/Falcon, TIE, etc already on shelves so when doing the sets that fill up most a wave this decade they lean into the stuff that skews younger because, while a kid will always want an X-Wing, they'd rather have a Gunship or a Mando Army than like an Imperial Shuttle or Endor Rebel army

Exactly. This isn't "Find it on discount and it's a good set with a weird figure". This is "The entire set is compromised"

You'd hope, but lego normally pads these things out. The only gimmick line I can think of that didn't get multiple waves was Action Battle- for something this intensive, I can't see lego rolling over and giving up so fast. Even Vidyo made it a full year or two- my hopes for the august wave are not particularly high. Given that the march wave frontloads OT stuff, whereas IIRC the january wave is all TCW/Mando/etc, I can't see us getting any normal OT sets, so even if it's not SMART clone slop, it'll probably still be clone stuff. The only real hope I have is for "dumb" Ahsoka S2 sets.

 

 

Ironically, though it seems we're going to get a good 5 or 6 OT sets this year, we'll likely be entering year 2 without a single normal OT system set. Though the TMAG sets should include snow or stormtroopers, thankfully meaning we don't go two full years without a single OT imperial trooper in a system retail set.

It's possible, but I'd want to see some more concrete data. The clone stuff's really only popped up in the last few years, so I wouldn't say they've been using this strategy long if that's the case. Similarly, the TIE bomber seems to have done very well, being that it's still on shelves (but not clearance, at least near me). That also could be due to it's good value for money, but you know lego will never learn THAT lesson. And while I could definitely see rebel battle packs doing worse than clone or imperial ones, I can't see there being a huge difference between stormtroopers and the 73rd consecutive 501st legion battlepack.

Our last falcon was also six years ago. It's not like the X-wing and TIE where we get one every three years like clockwork.

Sure, but like I said, it resets the clock on when we can get this stuff again. I want a snowspeeder with the new canopy. It's been 15 years since our last OT falcon. And now I likely have to wait until 2030ish for both since lego's likely making these "smart" sets of them.

Also just for you lego's going to throw a brand new alien or two into the "smart" cantina purely to make sure the wave is an absolute wash for every possible perspective.

I also have very little hope left for any sort of 2027 anniversary wave for the start of the saga. Getting a Cantina, Red Five X-wing, TIE Advanced at the very least (And I'm fairly confident we'll see an ANH falcon as well) is bad news for any sort of ANH wave in 2027. The only thing I'm still holding out for is a new UCS Tantive IV that year.

That’d be kinda hilarious, but if we’re lucky,  they won’t mix smart and dumb minifigs and most people can safely skip the smart brick sets  And making smart minifigs of random side characters would be an incredibly boneheaded idea.

LotR isn't entirely shackled to desirable characters, most of the Dwarves are megabluck off expensive (especially the ones without personalities for some reason) but it's nowhere near Star Wars, yeah. I mean Rex is in a set you can find easily in stores for 10 quid, the figure itself never sells for more than a quid below that. 

Mmm, maybe you should have phrased this differently 

Fair, I haven’t paid close attention to LEGO LotR, so I hadn’t realized.
…which means the bricks in the Rex MiFi are particularly worthless.  That’s crazy.

Probably. I hope my jokes remain in light fun. The last thing I want to do is cause a War of 2024 over my comments (assuming historians date the beginning of the war to my earliest replies to CloneCommando).

Peak. Don't step on the snake, or the tea ends up in the harbor. (My John Walker helmet arrived today, probably totally unrelated to any inclinations regarding dislike of british tea)

Tusken would also open up a Bantha side build, and I can't imagine they oversize Cobb's speeder that much so I assume it'll be the third figure. Deputy Slowdraw feels unlikely given his unfortunate demise in that scene and that he'd require new prints whereas the tusken could be re-used.

The Thrawn Trilogy Spacetroopers are epic, though unfortunately the ones in A New Hope are a lot more similar to normal stormtroopers than imperial Halo Spartans that can 1v1 the millennium falcon.

I think it was an intentional play on some other interesting moves by british tea interests

Instead of dressing as the Native Americans, we’ll disguise ourselves as the THUNDERBOLTS! + Thor.

The set has, what, 200ish pieces? If your theory about the Tusken proves true (which, again, I believe is a definite possibility), I could see a molded Bantha pushing the price to $35. That said, considering the Kelleran BARC Speeder, this set could just as easily be an oversized Cobb Vanth speeder and a moisture evaporator. Maybe the lamp post strikes back!

Fair point. To me, the name of Spacetroopers is the main thing, so whether they look accurate to G-level canon (which I realize the irony given my comment on the Executor) or classic Thrawn Trilogy, I’d still be hyped for Spacetroopers. My preference is both versions simultaneously, but that’s  incredibly unlikely.

Nope, nope, no more than meets the eye on that comment.

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

I agree, however I believe it only works if the characters are in other sets as non-light-up versions. Then, people would have the ability to buy the figure in standard configuration and customize the character as they wish, yet that’d also mean a repetitive character lineup across the theme.

Nonetheless, light-up lightsabers intrigue me far more. Maybe for 30 years of LSW?

On 10/20/2025 at 8:24 AM, BrickBob Studpants said:

Told ya it’s all OT sets (at least so far) 

I don’t think so. I can see a total of four sets from these minifigs, unlike the six total sets that just feature clone minifgs.

Those four OT “smart” sets I can see being:

“Smart” X-Wing: “smart” pilot Luke,

”Smart” TIE Advanced: “smart” Vader, “smart” Palpatine, (Honestly these two could just as easily slide into the “Smart” X-Wing, but I’ll assume that the current word about the Advanced set is true.)

”Smart” Cantina: “smart” Han Solo, “smart” Chewbacca, “smart” Greedo, “smart” Farmboy Luke,

”Smart” Dagobah: “smart” Luke in Training, “smart” Yoda.

There will definitely be normal figures to expand the play in each set, and I’m admittedly a bit doubtful that the Cantina could hold four “smart” figs along with other patrons, so “smart” Farmboy Luke might be in the inevitable landspeeder sold separately. Unless the Cantina is the $160 set, but that’s pure speculation at this stage.
The point being, OT sets are making a comeback, welcome in my book, but this isn’t a full scale return, but a subtle swing in the pendulum toward balance. None of these OT sets—outside of a “Smart” Landspeeder with a cheap build—will be accessible to new, young SW fans; the same was true in 2024 and remains true in 2026 outside of an overpriced Luke Skywalker mech. We’ll see if “smart play” continues into the summer wave; if so, we could see a plethora of overpriced “smart” OT sets, which I believe will be unpopular with kids regardless of source material, or if not, a return to clones or Mando, which would be just as overpriced, very likely.

I like the concept of these sets, but remain uninterested due to the “smart” aspect. The Cantina most of all intrigues me; perhaps Greedo will finally be given back his arm-printing, or Dr. Evazan and his compatriot could return from the MBS set?

I will be thoroughly disappointed if Artoo-Detoo doesn’t come with “smart play”. He is literally a heavy computer that rolls around, who makes beeps, and interacts with everything and everyone.
