“the best path didn’t have to be quick as long as it was correct.” - Thrawn

And that’s the mentality I’m taking into the 213th day of the Tie Avenger campaign.

I hope it does in Germany, because it's an excellent set and I want more people to get it, but for my own sake I almost hope it doesn't in the US- any discount on that thing and I'll buy up to the purchase limit.

As expected, it didn't. I won't get the set now before it retires... possibly ever. Which means no more Lego for me before christmas. Took advantage during Black Friday Week for another collective passion/obsession of mine.

On a more pleasant side, I was very happy to see that the Gingerbread AT-AT is reported to be available until the end of 2027. For some reason, I thought it would be a promo item only until supplies last.

Didn't it already go on sale in the US? I thought it was one of the sets that had the 40% discount a few weeks ago 

Edit: ok yeah it was and still is (but is out of stock online now). I remembered being very jealous when I saw it lol

Yeah, apparently it went on 40% off and then went out of stock. I'm kicking myself for not having checked when it was still there and hoping we get a restock (but even if we do I assume they'd put it back at the normal price.)

Do we have black friday sales revealed yet? For me, on the US site, I'm only seeing "Insiders weekend" (yesterday and today) stuff. 

That is nice, it seems like a great set and I'm glad they plan to keep it around for a bit.

Thrawn quotes could probably keep your campaign running for another year, there's so many that are relevant to the concept.

I’ve already bought 3. It’s just a great set. And the value is actually decent.

Well now I have to buy another one to keep pace. You've forced my hand.

Oh shoot, I totally didn't thought about the Lego Shop having some Black Friday deals, too. There is a preview to be found on the german website, but other than some Insider offerings I see no concrete sales yet. 

In terms of Black Friday, I was actually referring to Amazon, where I got something other than Lego. 

It honestly would have been stupid to make the first proper christmas themed thing a limited edition. Knowing Lego, this is why I thought it would happen. 

 

The next Lego Star Wars magazine, due to release December 29th in Germany and as per usual quite possibly in other european countries, is gonna include the new Clone Pilot. Well, it's that time again to wake up extra early and get going. 

[joebiwankenobi]

LEGO also does Cyber Monday as well but I cannot recall if those sales/discounts are any different than the Black Friday offerings. I'm awaiting to see what's on offer for the sales as I don't think there's double points on black Friday or cyber Monday?

Also, at this point, @CloneCommando99 I have to ask do you really want to see LEGO, in their current state, attempt a TIE Avenger? Would it not be a disappointment in some immeasurable capacity? There's a number of really well done MOCs of it with instructions for both playscale, super playscale, and, I think, maybe UCS now? Plus, there's a number of customizers that you can source the experimental pilot's jumpsuit from, too. Arguably, I think one could source both the custom fig parts, the custom instructions, and the parts and be either at or a little over what LEGO would likely charge for an Avenger given the abysmal price point most of the lineup is at now. Don't get me wrong, I'm not criticizing the campaign, but as a wise one once stated "there are alternatives to fighting".

That's where I've largely gone to at this point as most of the lineups don't interest me that much in both content or model size. I love a lot of the new techniques, construction, durability (not you Juggernaut), but can't stomach the model downscales and price increases. 

I still have no clue why LEGO pumped a mini-me of the U-Wing when they could have given us a somewhat agreeable, likely downscaled Avenger model. Then again, it is the current LEGO SW design team, and there's far more questions than answers anymore so this is all situation normal. 

The news on the P1 pilot going magazine release is good for those wanting to acquire them in larger numbers. The one I, and I assume a number of others, want to see is the Galactic Marine go the Magazine route as I highly doubt they'll throw them in a Battleback release. After the 327th price bomb I shudder to consider the cost LOL. Then again, since it's something the community would like, such as the Avenger, and a multitude of other things, they won't do it. Wait. What if they did the Avenger as a polybag? Oh Lord, who am I kidding? They'll make it one of the micro-builds in next year's advent calendar.

Yes. For the most part, even if they’re downscaled, Lego does a pretty solid job on Tie Fighters. It’s also about getting Lego to give Andor the recognition it deserves.

Besides, I’ve spent so much time on the campaign at this point, it’d be foolish to stop now.

(Day #214 of asking Lego to make a Tie Avenger)

True. But the U-Wing is still a good set. Easily a top 3 of the year. 
 

Don’t you bring that evil on us.

Lego Black Friday has been pretty lackluster the past few years. I'm hoping for a good deal on the Ghost before it retires, but not expecting much. Or for the Rebel speeder/Imperial Dropship set to come back in stock with that 40% sale still active, I will dispatch my entire wallet for that deal, I'm so annoyed I missed out on it.

 

I was thinking it'd be nice if we got more limited-release battlepack 2-packs in the vein of 2024's rebel vs stormtrooper set, it's nostalgic of course but also a fun nod to some of the theme's unique aspects without putting non-canon builds out on wide retail release. Obviously the rebel speeder and imperial dropship are probably the most iconic of the non-canon battlepack builds, but there were some other good ones in the first era of battle packs. A remake of the 2010 hoth packs, maybe with Moustache Rebel as the exclusive fig, could be fun. Those first few years were weirdly heavy on "clones vs random faction", but the 2011 set had some unique clone troopers against the death watch and could also make a fun set. I wouldn't necessarily want a repeat of the 2007 clone and droid packs, but they were the first SW battle packs and we do now have modern versions of all those clones. Definitely wouldn't want one of the "clone shinies vs assassin droid" packs from 2009, but it is kind of cool how the droid speeder (presumably coincidentally) evokes some design elements of the IG-2000.

I'm hoping for the Ghost as well as I'd like to get a couple of those on somewhat of a discount to make some "plus size" MOCs. That'd definitely be stellar if the dropship "dropped" back in stock as I'd pick up a few, too. They should have waited to do the 40% discount for this week IMO and I was also unaware that sale happened until it was over. 

I think the two pack combos would be a fun "end of year" surprise drop, too, and would welcome more of them. They could do a whole lot of *insert random faction* types like the Umbarans, Geonosians, Trandoshans, Pykes, Black Sun, Pirates, etc. I get some of them would require new tooling/molding but a lot of that stuff is already pre-existing and would give some army diversity for builders in an immensely vast and expansive galaxy.

I disagree, I think it would be cool. We haven't had a proper plain p1 army builder since 09, the 2022 minifigure pack wasn't good for army building considering it had a clone commander and it was a Lego store exclusive. Also P1 >>> P2; P1 clones translate better into Lego.

I find it funny that we’ve been lamenting the 18+ification of the Star Wars theme in 2025, but 2026 now introduces the exact opposite with the Smart Bricks. The middle ground of good ol’ normal sets continues to shrink. Saying that, I’m still hopeful these sets will be able to stand on their own feet without the Smart Bricks, electronic minifigures aside.

Although it’s likely driven by childhood nostalgia, I do miss the days of LSW battle packs being experimental and creative (although given the narrower scope of canon media at the time, I suppose the theme had more breathing room to do so). I still fondly remember the 2012 clone battle pack debuting that fully decked out ARC Trooper, it was amazing to see so much effort going into a minifigure within such a cheap set.

More than anything from a build standpoint, I would love to see small vehicles like speeder bikes (especially BARCs), AT-RTs etc. actually be small. The Hoth speeder bikes within the 2020 AT-AT and UCS version, along with the Endor ones from the RotJ diorama were a massive step in the right direction.

On a more topical note, HD pictures of the Ahsoka Season 2 concept art are now out. So much good set material in here, and I wouldn’t be surprised to see a T-6 realised at the £140 price-point this time round.

Yeah, I'm unclear as to why they set that sale up so early. Maybe they just really don't want any good sales for black friday.

Small D2Cs would be a good option for the less iconic factions, so they're still able to be army-built but wouldn't be shelfwarming at retailers.

But wouldn't you rather just have a normal battle pack of P1s rather than some P1s and a glob of assassin droids that, as far as I recall, never even fight clones in the show? At that point, if we assume it'd follow the same pricing as the 2024 BP combo (which given it involves clones is a big assumption), it'd be a worse rate than the 2018 battle pack for getting clone shinies.

Yup. Lego is splitting the theme into "ipad kids" and "adults who think minifigures are too kiddie to be in their lego sets"

That would be nice. I'm hoping the $10 price point provides with accurately sized AT-RTs and BARC speeders at some point.

Lego misunderstood quite what the words meant and we're going to get a minifigure of that "big shot" iron man outfit that's just Tony in a blue suit and tie.

 

 

I have some terrible news for you all. I was trying to look for black friday sales on lego.com to see if they had anything listed as going on sale that day, and found the following horrible quote MULTIPLE TIMES throughout the Q&A section:

"LEGO Black Friday isn't all about sales". Followed by saying it's a great opportunity to buy a set (presumably at retail price) before the christmas rush. (Which, for one thing, feels very stuck-up to act like the whole event is just... to purchase their products at full price, but also, is black friday not in itself a rush? Isn't that the point of the event, to get a rush of buyers- which is why traditionally companies put stuff on sale?)

To be fair, they do mention "discounts on many popular lego sets" under the direct question about how to get a deal on lego sets, but the fact that they frontload the Q&A with "Black friday isn't all about sales" makes me think we're about to get some very, very lackluster discounts.

Agreed, it has gotten worse for discounts(in the US at least) for the past few years.  This year is very disappointing going into Black Friday, hardly any good deals and very few on sets I’m interested in.  I was hoping for a Sail Barge deal from Lego this year but it looks like they are only doing that in different regions.

i have only bought one small exclusive set for my kids and only bought from Lego directly because it was exclusive.  The other sets have all been from retailers who actually have decent sales.

Well yeah in that case I'd rather them be separate. I never hated the assassin droid battle pack though, I always thought they were cool as a kid and the speeder was nice. If I remember correctly assassin droids fought clones in the Clone Wars movie.

Yup. You can still find some good deals in-store sometimes in the clearance aisle, but it's rare to see good discounts direct from lego anymore unless the set had REALLY poor sales.

 

I know- aside from coming off as sort of preachy, in a way (I don't know, I'm sure I'm reading into it but the way it's written on the site it almost feels like lego is implying the consumer is greedy for wanting discounts)- it's just false. The whole point of black friday IS the sales. The whole idea behind it is that by offering crazy deals on some items there's a rush of people, and while you might have some loss leaders you're also going to have a lot of people buying other items while they're in your store/browsing online, or clear out stock so you can make room for Christmas inventory. If it's not about the sales, what is it about? The spirit of...friday-ness?

Yeah, that's all I was saying, that it wouldn't be a good fit for the concept I was running with.

I looked around on Wookiepedia and can't find anything that explicitly confirms it, but it's possible. Ziro had some in the movie and Fox's team comes to rescue Padme from him, I just can't remember if they actually fight the droids in there, I thought he just let her leave. There are a few times Anakin and/or Ahsoka fight them (Senate takeover, the junker ship in the Evil R2 clone episodes), but they never had clones with them in those fights.

Don’t forget the man children who think the entire theme should revolve around one cartoon while they ignore 80% of the episodes.

 

I agree. These and an Attack Shuttle are the only clone sets I’d be ok with in the next 2-3 years.

Oh yeah. I’d like that, though I’d prefer we get 2-3 Battlepacks a year. Maybe 2 normal and 1 super versus?

I also consider the 2016 or 2017 Imperial and rebel BPs to be great candidates for this sub theme. And honestly the 2015 Resistance and First Order BP as well, maybe even expanding the FO turret build to be a small outpost that the Resistance are assaulting.

The 2012 ARC Trooper and Geonosian BPs I don’t see happening unless they change half the builds. Because, let’s face it, opposing artillery likely doesn’t have the same appeal as speeders or a moving strike vehicle vs said artillery.

Miss when they'd always do two opposing Battlepacks together, I get why it stopped as one side seemingly consistently sold better and with Battlepacks being so expensive now it's not as plausible a kid could or would get both released in the same wave but it's still a shame. 

[BrickBob Studpants]

I wish they‘d go back to 4 yearly regular BPs, like we had from 2015 to 2018. There are plenty of fractions they could focus on besides just Clones

Isn't that the point of the event, to get a rush of buyers- which is why traditionally companies put stuff on sale?)

To be fair, they do mention "discounts on many popular lego sets" under the direct question about how to get a deal on lego sets, but the fact that they frontload the Q&A with "Black friday isn't all about sales" makes me think we're about to get some very, very lackluster discounts.

That is so comically arrogant lmao. I guess we've always got other places to buy them from at least but still, not exactly a great look (not to mention one that does not inspire me to shop on their website).

Unrelated but are we seeing the 2026 sets soon? Feels like those blurry leaks were a while ago now and we're pretty close to the new year at this point.

I have some terrible news for you all. I was trying to look for black friday sales on lego.com to see if they had anything listed as going on sale that day, and found the following horrible quote MULTIPLE TIMES throughout the Q&A section:

That honestly isn't news to me. They have been this way for a long time. Only difference is they now publicly communicate in such a manner to us. Seriously, screw them. If they feel like projecting their own obvious greed onto consumers who actually made them this successful in the first place, let alone certain longtime fans who saved Lego from pure bankruptcy in the early 2000s, so be it... arrogant pricks. If Black Friday isn't all about sales, which then again can result in a win-win situation for both the company and customers, I don't know what is.

Yup. You can still find some good deals in-store sometimes in the clearance aisle, but it's rare to see good discounts direct from lego anymore unless the set had REALLY poor sales.

Yep, this is why I completely forgot about their Black Friday deals actually being a thing. Like you said, you usually get sales based on either soon to be retired sets and/or extremely poor performing products. You rarely feel like they went out of their way and went the extra mile. Which is freaking disgusting in my book. Just because business isn't a charity doesn't mean you can't be a little more generous and forthcoming to your loyal fans. It's like Lego opened one too many Pandora's boxes in their lifetime.

I wish they‘d go back to 4 yearly regular BPs, like we had from 2015 to 2018. There are plenty of fractions they could focus on besides just Clones

Oh, I absolutely agree. Even getting one big Battle Pack in addition to two regular ones would already go a long way. But at this rate, I think two big ones at the expense of regular ones is more likely.

"They're so proud of themselves, they don't even care. They're so fat and satisfied, they can't even imagine it."

We should be, but knowing Lego... we won't be. Maybe next week if we are really lucky. But if anything goes to script, more like in the middle of December. Once again, help us, dear leakers. You are our only hope.

I looked around on Wookiepedia and can't find anything that explicitly confirms it, but it's possible. Ziro had some in the movie and Fox's team comes to rescue Padme from him, I just can't remember if they actually fight the droids in there, I thought he just let her leave. There are a few times Anakin and/or Ahsoka fight them (Senate takeover, the junker ship in the Evil R2 clone episodes), but they never had clones with them in those fights.

Yeah the scene with Fox is what I was thinking of, it's been a while since I've seen the CW movie though.

Completely agree. If LEGO are going to scale down sets etc, battle packs are the perfect way…because they appeal to a wide variety of audiences.
