Ohhhh, that makes sense!  It’s always funny to me when new SW characters get created because of BTS shenanigans. Just like Agen Kolar and Stass Allie, who were suspiciously similar replacements of Eeth Koth and Adi Gallia and also created out of necessity IIRC

Far from guaranteed, but certainly plausible. Wouldn’t be the first we got a random CT set in May! There were the Republic Fighter Tank in 2022 and the BARC Speeder Escape in 2024, after all ^^

Even wedge himself has Fake Wedge created out of another situation.

The pattern clearly shows lego has a secret "every even-numbered year in may we must produce a $40-50 set that could conceivably be viewed as a clone battle pack" policy. But jokes aside, unless that set is a small arena build with a big molded Jeremy Allen the Hutt, I think it almost has to be something like a clone battle pack. Maybe it's a Smart clone battle pack.

Would make sense for the clone centric way the theme is run "there's a cloneless wave for this movie? Throw in a Clone pack in the wave"

Once again, clearly they sell better than other packs, maybe not always but definitely as of now.

Not saying she's the best bar keeper, though clearly Wuher's heart wasn't in the game, they sell him the speeder and boom, a year later the bars in Bea Arthur's hands. His calling is elsewhere.

REAL. No-one hates Wedge, a unique privilege for a character, he 'll show up in something and get an involuntary hell yeah from everyone. Mad that he's not the go to secondary pilot in most X-wings. In a way Darth Vader's greatest contribution to the Rebellion may be letting him go on the first Death Star, no matter if it's Legends, Canon or an Ardman short that one decision is pivotal. 

I heard someone say in a way he's the ultimate Glup Shitto, insted of being an extra who's super pivotal to the universe through expanded media he's an extra who does important shit in the films but just far enough from the focus most forget.

The designers realized TMAG didn't include any clone troopers, but disney was telling them to make TMAG sets and they physically couldn't keep building that wave without pausing to make a clone battle pack.

I still think it's a bubble that's popped already- the 327th set is already on pretty solid discount near me, and it's only been 3 months.

I think it was just Wuher's night off, with his canonical hatred of slavery and love for the jedi, I think an imperial mandate to shut down his place of business would have had him pulling out the shotgun all fictional barkeepers keep under the bar.

We really do need a unique face print for him, though we know somebody at lego likes him because he popped up in that 4+ snowspeeder awhile back instead of pilot luke. When vader let him go it wasn't a mistake or pulling towards the light, he was just such a skilled pilot that vader couldn't bring himself to kill someone that sick.

For everyone who has the death star, has anyone not realized that there's really no places to stand for the figures? the entire surface is 90% full of flat tiles. I legit ordered a bunch knob with tiles to expand my stormtroopers and place my soldiers better. How come no one's talking about the 2x4 tiles with two knobs that can barely fit two figures let alone four face to face!!!?

[CloneCommando99]

It’s nice seeing praise for Wedge. The ultimate Glup Shitto.

 

Screw it. Let’s go random today! Here’s all the superhero comic runs i’be read ranked proportionately to how much Lego needs to make each TIE Fighter variant.

Day #183 of asking Lego to make the Geoff Johns Green Lantern/ Invincible/ Deniz Camp’s Ultimates level TIE Avneger.

Mini me?

No. It’s the same price as 327th. It won’t be Smart brick if a BP. 

That’s a good point about Rotta though. He probably is required to be in a set. Jeremy Allen White said in an interview that a lot of the movie is him running around with Mando. Unless he’s brick built I doubt he’ll be in the $130 1200 piece May set. Which makes me concerned for the $160 set we previously thought was a AT AT as if there was a moulded Hutt, that’s where the price would go.

If so, Empire fans will continue to have a rough couple of years.

Isn’t there only one set in May that isn’t a bust or a M&G tie-in? This may take a while then as I doubt that would leak separately  Plus, we still don’t have the set list for March either.

Damn it you’re right. But the March sets are all retail exclusive. Therefore I think May info might be more likely to come by beforehand.

Don’t forget about the two sets in June, he could easily be in one of those as well  In fact, I think that’s more likely considering they haven’t fully revealed Rotta’s look yet. I’m sure we’ll see it in the full trailer, but TLG still might have decided to put him in a set that comes out after the movie does.

Then again, the two waves are only a month apart, so I doubt the June sets are exactly like the usual spoilery second wave

It might be, so dunno. Equally anecdotally I still see the Night Trooper and Mandolorian Battlepacks from this year and the last which have been discounted in the same way from shortly after they were released. Personally I think it's an issue with Battlepacks (designed to be impulse sets) no longer being in the impulse sets range. A kid can convince a parent to buy a 10 quid set, maybe a 15 while grocery shopping, they're not gonna manage the same with a 20-40 quid set, that's been the range Battlepacks lived in and I think the greed of pushing the price up is backfiring on LEGO long term.

True, I remember the LEGO Catalogue description for the 2006 X-Wing made a big deal about him getting his first minifigure, LEGO does know ball

Luthen needed Cass to get it to his best engineers on Naboo (Who ofc helped him rig up those explosives) the sets minifigure selection will be based on Boss Nass and friends trying to reverse engineer it (With Wedge on loan from a different Rebel Cell to test pilot it)

Wuher actually used most of the money from the Landspeeder and selling the bar to make sure Jabba exclusively hired the biggest dipshits to be his security so the slaver would die horribly. The rest he used to falsify reports that the Ewoks were harmless Teddy Bears so the empire would pay no mind to them with they're man-eating nature being the Emperor's undoing putting an end to the Narkina prisons and their slavery. After this he met up with his long term best friend, Dexter Jettster and reminisced about the Jedi with him. The two opened a chain of combination 50s Diners/space bars and lived their lives in comfort

Agreed on the pricing point. Maybe Lego just doesn't care because there'll always be a cohort of rabid fans who buy a hundred of them day one, but I feel like raising the price is going to probably end up having some negative ramifications for them. If they absolutely had to, I think it would have made sense to just decrease the volume of stuff in the battle pack. No one really cares about the builds 90% of the time, they could have massively downscaled them and kept the price lower right? Idk exactly how the economics of battle packs work though, maybe the minifigures are way more expensive than the rest of the bricks and the only way to keep them cheaper would have been to make them only have three minifigures or something.

I don't think it's production costs, Minifigures are cheap but I think it could be licencing costs. I could be wrong but I remember reading the way the Star Wars licence works is each figure is a different Licence, like if they have a Clone Trooper and a Clone Commander they need to licence both of those designs separately so every different figure bumbs up the cost more. LEGO doesn't like putting in four identical figs, probably because the variation grabs Kid's attention more so they bump the cost

This is something that needs to be talked about more, as it's one of the ways larger lego sets increasingly feel like MOCs. Sure, a tiled floor might look better, but it drastically reduces where you can place minifigures unless you go buy a bunch of plates or jumpers.

Which makes me concerned for the $160 set we previously thought was a AT AT as if there was a moulded Hutt, that’s where the price would go.

Wedge was originally played by two different guys in ANH because the first one got fired but they inexplicably left his "that's impossible, even for a computer" bit in. To resolve this, the Wedge piloting the X-wing was obviously the "real" Wedge, so the guy in the conference room must be "Fake Wedge", canonized as Col Takbright, a guy who hated that he resembled wedge and then after watching most of the trench run pilots he knew get shot down, has a change of heart and becomes friends with him, being one of the few to go welcome Wedge back to base instead of Luke.

But the TIE Advanced is seemingly reasonably priced despite assumably including a "smart" figure at the very least. While consistent with the 327th pack, the may set is definitely not a reasonable price. It's unlikely, since march seems to be the "smart" wave, but I wouldn't rule it out entirely based on price alone. 

I would honestly be OK with a brick built Swole Rotta, I think Hutts are definitely large enough to capture the necessary details with bricks.

Dang I wish the Night Trooper pack got discounted around me. But I agree overall that battle packs are getting too expensive and that's hurting lego's sales.

It's better for dusting, though! I think one unspoken reason behind Lego's move to a mostly studless finish over the past decade-plus is that smooth surfaces are a heck of a lot easier to dust off than studded surfaces.

This is my personal conspiracy theory for why Lego’s pushing for Buildable characters.

Doesn’t make much sense to me since A) it’s still a character, so the license fee applies regardless, and B) they come with a minifig anyway

Yes. But it’s only one character license that Lego needs to pay in total for a Buildable Character. As both the build and minifig are the exact same character.

 

That’s more license to pay than a play-set with 3-4 different characters.

If this is true than it makes sense that normally UCS-Sets don't have so much minifigures (to keep the price at bay) and and is one of the reasons why the Death Star is so expensive because the different characters raise the costs. But Mos Eisley had also alot of different figures and was not that expensive (if I remember correctly).

That's true. And for something like the $1000 death star, which unlike the 2008/2016 ones is clearly not meant with kids in mind, I guess they don't expect people to put figs anywhere but the designated spots anyway.

There's no way this is accurate. The MBS sets would have been absolutely disgusting prices if that was the case, not to mention, how would they even count this? Does the 501st specialist pack come with three different clones to license, or just one "501st trooper"? If the former, why would they make it in the first place rather than just any other legion with four duplicates? For battle packs as a whole, why would so many have the 2:1:1 or 2:2 ratio rather than the 4-of-the-same-fig many fans were asking for if the ratios lego does cost twice to four times as much in licensing?

While we wait for set pics or other news, I got inspired by @BrickPrick’s recent guessing game and thought I’d do something similar  If someone’s able to guess my current #1 most-wanted SW minifig, I will change my avatar into whatever the winner picks  Time to update it anyway! If I like the suggested idea enough, I will keep it long-term ^^

A couple of stipulations tho:

• Please don’t include only one guess in your post or something absurd like 50. The former may clog the thread and the latter be too easy probably  
• The avatar still needs to center around LEGO SpongeBob. After all, I have to do justice to my username!
• It needs to be something I can physically take a picture of. As most of you probably know, my collection has a broad range in terms of themes, so plenty of minifigs or accessories to choose from 
• Needless to say, nothing vulgar or otherwise offensive. I don’t wanna be banned over this

Oh boy... Time to shine. It's already impossible to top your one hit wonder. But I am now able to emulate your effort. However, without so much of a hint, like you had, I doubt that I will. From which era does your most wanted minifigure come from?

Well, to deny something out of fear it would be too spoilery, can be considered an indirect spoiler as well. And thus, can help narrow down the answer too. 

Okay, let's see... The PT would probably not be much of a giveaway. Like that kid would say... there are too many of them. So maybe it's actually OT or even ST related. He was pretty excited over Babu Frik's inclusion in the recent Advent Calendar. Hmm, but maybe it's from another era entirely. Something from The Old Republic maybe...

I actually don't have the faintest idea. 

But anyways, I'm gonna go with... Mara Jade Skywalker, Boss Nass (wouldn't that be funny?) and Rebel Guard. 

I consider three to be an appropriate amount of guesses per posting. 

Now I'm looking forward for you to tell me how wrong I really am.

If this had happened a few months ago, Babu Frik, easy, but now that he's out on shelves... it's tougher, but not impossible. Era clue and previous posts imply it's a High Republic character, I'd assume from Acolyte. We'll start with Sol, Quimir/Qimir/The Stranger or whatever his name is, and... Yord and Jecki? Those are the only names I remember off the top of my head.

If I'm right, the new PFP will be a representation of the iconic "open the window, Luthor" panel with Spongebob in Luthor's place and the heroes replaced by Mara, Batfleck, one of the Ninja Turtles, and a fourth character I haven't chosen yet.

I have a knack for thinking outside the box, but I've very much got a thing for overthinking things too. Maybe it's not as complicated as it seems to be. So my next batch of perfectly fine guesses are... Dexter Jettster, Rebel Friend and Greez Dritus.

I still feel confident that it's a high republic character, and given you've outlined what makes a good figure for you, probably one with an interesting mold. I'd guess Venestra Rho, Machiron Ro, the trandoshan high republic jed, either of the wookiee high republic jedi, Loden Greatstone, but maybe it is an acolyte one like Osha or Mae. I suppose it could be one of the cantina aliens or Jabba's palace denizens, maybe Yuzzum, Sny Snootles, or the amanaman since he's in TMAG.

Darn, yeah, see, you got me, this is why the game wouldn't have worked.

From what I remember your prior posts suggest Mandoverse. Which is an era that is relatively well covered and really only has a handful of notable missing characters.

As promised, a few hints:

• It’s a character from a movie or show. All of my top 50 have appeared either in live-action, a cartoon, or a game
• They have lines and are important to the plot.
• The minifig would definitely require a new piece.
