(Of course, I still think the best move would have been a complete 3-5 year pause on any live-action content and then doing a KOTOR trilogy, but that was never going to happen.)

 

Yeah I think a lot of people have Star Wars fatigue at this point especially because a lot of the stuff we get is bad. I think sometimes a franchise needs absence to create desire. Like TFA was huge in large part because it was 10 years since the last movie, by the time solo came around no one cared anymore. I predict Mando and Grogu will flop like Solo.

It's accurate to the show but it does always irk me that we can barely ever get any red on mandalorian figures. These guys basically just look like gunmetal mandos with a bit of blood on them. Color-wise blue is obviously very saturated in a good number of shades, and we've had a fair bit of green between different Bobas and the female mando from the 2020 pack. The 2020 pack also gave us some orange and yet more blue, and with Mando himself you can make silver/brown ones without much trouble. White is expensive but doable. I really wish we could get a new version of that 2020 pack with some mandos in red, some in yellow, maybe a purple one.

Jango Fett Open Seasons battle pack when? (Seriously I've wanted some of the designs from that comic in LEGO form for a looong time- Jaster Mereel in particular has some very nice red markings on his armour, as does Jango on Galidraan)

I highly recommend SC! It’s a fun adventure with likeable characters and a different and fresh flavour of SW ^^ 

The initial trailer didn't grab me at all. It neither looked nor felt like Star Wars to me. Way too much like real life, not to say some american suburbs area. But I'm pretty sure this is not what the show will be actually centered around. Only watched the first episode some time ago and it did nothing for me. Even though just a single episode is usually not enough to judge the bigger picture. So yeah, I might wanna give the show another shot, or real chance, so to speak.

What to do with a heretic such as yourself? Which of Mara’s forms should my judgement be influenced by? Mercy of the Jedi? Cunning of the Smuggler? Or Vengeance of the Emperor’s Hand?

Don't go too hard on him... He's a crucial part of the grand Eurobricks fandom. 

 

The new Maul Mando minifigures look good to me. Hopefully not much further until Cad Bane gets fully leaked now.

Indeed, plus Cobb Vanth! Definitely the most exciting SW minifigs in January. Looking forward to the new BB-8 too! The original started the current line of buildable figures, so we‘ve come full circle now

Hahaha, you mean Black Widow lookalike, right? 

Let me tell you, you are quite a funny guy. That sense of sarcasm and cynicism is something I am very receptive to. 

I took another look at the January set list and yeah... that's a kinda low bar to beat. But nonetheless, very excited for this set in particular. Always a fan of getting either brand new characters or new versions of existing ones. Especially ones where I thought the ship has already sailed... like TBOBF Cad Bane. 

Oh, I absolutely wouldn't mind if that full circle marked the temporary end of buildable characters.

I think I'll be getting the Bane vs Vanth set and the Mando vs 332nd pack... but both will need a good discount. I guess we don't know how good the value is going to be for the Bane set, but certainly with the battle pack I'm basically writing off 50% of the content as clones I don't care about since I already got 3 copies of the 332nd pack on clearance last year. 

Argos is currently running a 2 for £20 offer on the Night Troopers pack. Personally I only want one of those packs so am waiting to see if somewhere has a similar discount but for only one of them (or just get a used one on eBay), but if they did it for this Mando pack then I'd be tempted depending on the final quality of the figures and build (part of me is hoping the visors aren't finished on the Mandalorian figures since the previous leak of the helmet had even less print on it, but I'm not confident of that). 

What else is rumoured for January other than the buildable BB-8? Clone mech of some sort (we think Shock Trooper but I've seen people talking about Fives), the little Mando set which is a nice concept but I already have a dozen Din and Grogu figures, and a few others but I'm a little confused as the list I'm looking at has the ""smart"" TIE Advanced and X-wing listed as January but I thought those were for March. 

Edit: ok found another list and there's also something with Grogu (possibly a hut), a midi Venator which I might get on clearance like I did with the Invisible Hand, and another unknown set. Yeah not exactly a lot of competition for great minifigures as you said.

Why is this on sale everywhere but sites and stores near me? Still can't find it for under retail anywhere, despite having already found Jango's Slave One at 15% off and the 327th pack at 20% off.

It is a shock trooper mech, allegedly fives's head leaked (But, you know... the same print as the one in the 2024 set) and I think people were joking that it was a mech of fives disguised as a shock trooper, but it's a shock trooper mech.

There's a Vader bust and midi-scale AT-AT as well, but those two sets have one figure between them (I mean, maybe zero, the marvel mechs do come with twice as many minifigures as the star wars ones after all so there's no guarantee the vader bust has vader)

I noticed Amazon has the night troopers at 13.50 (about 25% off) most of this years sets I’ve managed to pick up on around about the 25% off mark. Managed to get the two big clone sets for under a 100 each as well. January I’m optimistic about there’s a few things that look interesting. But the growing Castle fan in me is saving all my Lego funds atm for when a few figures drop on PAB about then so it’ll be another sale I’ll wait for. Getting to the point though where I’m saving up getting sets until I find out what May the 4th promos they have. 

with regards to the clone vs Mando bp do we know what the build is yet? I know it doesn’t mean much in the grand scheme of things but no detail has come out yet (at least none that I can see) I’ve no interest in these clones so may just pick the mandolorians up on eBay/bricklink.

Eh, much like last year's BARC Speeder Escape, I think Cobb Vanth's Speeder will be your average overpriced set you would associate for a product priced at 25 bucks tops. Just with less but more interesting and potentially more detailed minifigures. It will be on my birthday wishlist, so I don't care in this instance. And even if the personal timing was less convenient, I might have made an exception for finally getting a Cad Bane minifigure right out of the box. Will probably wait a bit for the Battle Pack, though. Still haven't gotten the 327th one. 

Yeah, as you would expect from a limited January wave by now. But things will pick up from there... even with all the smart stuff.

This is interesting my kids are starting to show more interest in castles than star wars sets lately.  I blame the limited play sets, they got the one or two sets that they wanted in a decent price range and now are asking for PAB and castle themed things instead of more Star Wars sets.

Something still feels fishy. We know the "Smart" X-wing is about $90. That's a $40 markup from the previous version, presumably to account for the smart features.

So why is the TIE Advanced a relatively reasonable $60? Especially if it accommodates two smart features?

I'm wondering if the X-wing will include some significant side build or a second ship.

Do we know the cost and set numbers of the other "smart" sets?

Beyond the X-Wing and Advanced, no other “smart” sets have been confirmed. However, there are some suspects, specifically 75422 with 422 pieces at $70 and 75427 with 962 pieces at $160.

Info for all unknown March sets:

Spoiler

75420 - 215 pieces - $40
75422 - 8+ - 440 pieces - $70
75424 - 7+ - 347 pieces - $50
75425 - 8+ - 666 pieces - $80
75426 - 9+ - 885 pieces - $100

Love to see the Maul-dalorians! Wonderful to see the handprint pattern in particular make a comeback. My only complaint is that they seem less vibrant than they should; Gar Saxon used primarily red, and while he’s supposed to stand out, he already does with the yellow visor. The BP will be an easy pickup for me—once it reaches $15ish.

\Harry Potter just miffs me. For a theme with a similar number of sets per year it seems to have more remakes in shorter timespans than many SW things.

Somehow it’s a regular inclusion in the top five/six LEGO themes, and I have to wonder “HOW?” I for one would get bored with HP after one round of Hogwarts grounds. I have to assume either the Wizarding World fandom is that loyal, or the casual LEGO enjoyers remain intrigued. In the latter’s case, HP is not a sustainable IP for expansive imaginative play, yet the theme still captures the core principle of “play” better than LSW, perhaps because of that lack of subject-versatility.

So, instead of mixing things up all the time, maybe LSW should go back to formula and make X-Wings and TIEs—or Interceptors and Vulture Droids—at affordable prices with the main cast. One of the absolute ludicrous decision TLG made in 2024–after coughing baby Leia—was taking their affordable, “birthday money” TIE and X-Wing, combining them, swapping out the main OT cast for OCs nobody knew, and worse yet jacking up the price by $15. (Mind you, that’s considering 75300’s inflated price.)
Other examples: Ahsoka’s Interceptor could’ve been an excellent “gateway” set into LSW, specifically LEGO Clone Wars, (main characters, fun starship, smaller package) but we know how that went. I would pin the same criticism on Mando’s N-1 from ‘22 (an overpriced, oversized set), but I’m past the point of relevancy for that discussion.

Castle and LEGO go well together. It combines block-based construction of forts and castles with the storytelling inherent to warring factions. I can see a similar trait with LHP; block-based construction of the main grounds with the story of wizardry.
I wonder if LSW has the same inherent traits nowadays. “Rebuilding” a castle without the instructions is easy, but most modern LSW sets are too perfect that kids avoid playing rough with them altogether. The kids that love LEGO likely love the rebuild aspect, which is what LSW early on emphasized and designed their sets around. In 2025 you’d be hard pressed to find a child building their U-Wing into anything else because there are few, if any basic bricks included. (This is turning into an essay about the current state of LEGO as a whole, so I’ll leave it there.)

I hope TLG will see that the core principle of LEGO—the cornerstone to the LSW galaxy, if you will—is the answer, not these new fangled smart bricks.

For Harry Potter while they seem to remake sets regularly in reality the sets are different they can remake the main hall and a side building base if off of one of the 7 book/8 films and it include different features and characters and it would still be bringing something new. Where it is mainly about the castle you’re going to get loads of hogwarts sets. Whereas Star Wars it’s about the ships most of the time. HP does suffer from night bus and ford anglia fatigue but I admire the way HP goes about combining the sets to create a big castle. Star Wars and castle are expensive enough to follow but if I could I’d definitely get HP sets as well but I just have to admire them. TBH with the HBO series coming I can imagine they can start again and base it off the series and not the films

100%. I would think that the optimum decision would be to do two years of HP sets. Switch to another classic licensed theme with similar limitations for 2-3 years (eg: POTC or LOTR). And then repeat the process.

But that’s just creatively. Not financially I guess.

 

100% yet again on the affordable sets. Now we’re getting £100 X-Wings, I think things might actually come to a snap sooner rather than later.

HP has the advantage of having one huge central location with both interiors and an exterior. The closest thing SW has is the Death Star, and even then it‘s usually interiors. Even the new Death Star is a collection of dioramas! Not sure what they could do, dioramas that each come with a section of the outher shell of the DS? Unlike Hogwarts, those sets wouldn’t work on their own and combining them would look silly unless you happen to have all of them.

Other locations like the cantina, Hoth base, or the Jedi temple might work better on a functional level, but no kid would buy multiple sets depicting segments of those locations because they‘d be pretty same-y and would likely feel like a rip-off.

There are a few locations it could work but like you say HP is just different as hogwarts it just works. They’ve done it since the original 2000s waves. Even though it’s the same castle every year they go back something different happens every year in different locations involving different characters so they can get away with doing it over and over again

A lot of people here said kids aren't interested in castle anymore but your kids suggest otherwise, interesting. I still think they should bring back Castle as full theme, at least for 1-2 years.

The leaks say the whole march wave has "smart" integration, and while only a few sets are confirmed to have smart bricks, given the number of figures the leaks say are "smart" we can assume most sets will include at the very least smart figures. (and that one of them is a cantina, one of them's likely the falcon, one of them is yoda's hut, etc)

So mara's less than 25% black widow... less even, since that doesn't really fit the color or style of her hair in most of her appearances.

The phase 1 troopers having had helmet holes since 2008 is one of the funniest things to me about the complaints- paradoxically the helmet holes must be emblematic of some recent horrific issue at lego, either due to laziness or some sort of prequel-sabotage goal, but they were prominent on phase 1 clones in what those same arguments will call the golden age that lego needs to return to. It's amazing logic.

Using dashes like that is a pretty common sentence structure in both articles, books, and even posts here by me and other users since long before chat AI was a common thing. You might not remember it off the top of your head but if you read articles and/or books on any sort of even semiregular basis you'd have to have seen it before. Plus if Swordy was AI he'd be including "it's not a ____, it's a ____", bullet points in every comment, and referencing sources or sets that just don't exist.

Huh, I never even thought to ask ChatGPt to come up with set ideas  Just for fun, I wanted to see what garbage it would surprise me with. It did not disappoint. Behold!!

• Sith Inquisitor Strike Speeder with two TIE apprentice minifigs. What the **** is a TIE apprentice?
• A Venator with „classic Republic grey/blue markings and a hidden trooper compartment“. BLUE??
• Jedi Temple Council Podium: a buildable display piece for Jedi Council meetings
• FO Flametrooper Battlepack: Two flametroopers, two stormtroopers, 1 buildable small turret and revolving flame-launcher module. 
• Hoth Echo Base: Playset-style; includes Echo Base command centre, snow-crawler, 4 minifigs (Rebellion/Empire) & hidden secret panel.

ChatGPT really likes its hidden panels and troop compartments  No wonder people aren‘t using it for fake rumours, way too easy to detect!

There's a pretty decent alt build on Rebrickable for that!

The phase 1 troopers having had helmet holes since 2008 is one of the funniest things to me about the complaints- paradoxically the helmet holes must be emblematic of some recent horrific issue at lego, either due to laziness or some sort of prequel-sabotage goal, but they were prominent on phase 1 clones in what those same arguments will call the golden age that lego needs to return to. It's amazing logic.

No, you don't get it, they're slightly higher than they should be if you use an antenna, LEGO should never add aditional circles for connectivity, which is why if LEGO cared for their fans they're remove all studs from sets
