You were referring to the initial list of leaks for the supposed August wave, right? And the news of getting a fresh long overdue Grogu build came after... So yeah, not affected. Of course, the Mando merchandise machine is gonna need some oil, so you can't leave this one out at all... unfortunately. But here's hoping the actual M&G sub-theme gonna deliver some solid sets. Might be finally my time to get an Sandcrawler. 1 hour ago, MKJoshA said: @BrickPrick @Napoleon3 That's how I do it.

The BS sets allegedly not cutting too much or at all into play scale slots was one of the very few saving graces of the former. Now it seems like all positives that remain are a rotatable R2 head, some neat looking box art and... oh, that sounded like I was listing another thing... some actually not totally terrible ship designs, I guess.

I'd guess we're still getting at least a few normal sets though, just seems crazy to leave everyone uninterested in Smart Bricks out to dry. Quote

Kaijumeister Posted Thursday at 04:27 PM Posted Thursday at 04:27 PM (edited) Oh no, that’s really disappointing news! But I’m not surprised given the sheer volume of stuff this year. At least they’re delayed and not cancelled I guess. My assumptions: - Buildable Yoda: Moved to 2027. It seems like the apex of stupidity to release a 4+ Grogu, Buildable Grogu, Yoda Bust, and Yoda statue all within the same year. - Buildable Vader Minifigure: I can see this releasing this year just because there’s a suspiciously small number of buildable characters this year, however I also think this would be a perfect 50th anniversary set too. Unsure. - Icons of Star Wars and Star Wars Mini Posters: Just makes sense to tie these in with the 50th anniversary. - Ewok Village / Bespin Duel / Bounty Hunter Pursuit: These all sound like quintessential Lego sets representing iconic scenes from each film and thus perfect for a 50th anniversary. I’m inclined to think these will be split between this year and next year though. Anakin’s Delta-7b: Seems sensible to release it this year. They put out Obi-Wan last year and they aren’t oblivious that people are also clamouring for a General Anakin. I’m keeping my expectations low for the TMaG sets, however with this being a film tie-in wave (or waves should I say), I hope the sets are of spectacular quality. I’m really bummed out about the set list seemingly being for 2027. With Lego Minecraft Goat saying ‘most’ are planned for next year, my hope is the Delta-7b, Bounter Hunter Pursuit, and either the Ewok Village or Bespin Duel are releasing this year. I’m not surprised that it turns out the Smart Brick sets are eating up normal set slots though. I still think they are largely a tremendous waste of slots with this theme being the wrong entry point to introduce the brick to begin with. Edited Thursday at 04:28 PM by Kaijumeister Quote
BrickBob Studpants Posted Thursday at 05:22 PM Posted Thursday at 05:22 PM The Shadow Lord trailer looks great! The first episode airs in April. Probably wishful thinking, but I kinda hope that unknown $45 set ties in with the show. Quote

Tariq j Posted Thursday at 05:44 PM Posted Thursday at 05:44 PM Yeah that trailer looks very good. Given Lego’s coverage of stuff like The Bad Batch I’m not holding out for a lot but yes, it would be good to get at least one or two sets. 1 hour ago, Kaijumeister said: I’m keeping my expectations low for the TMaG sets, however with this being a film tie-in wave (or waves should I say), I hope the sets are of spectacular quality. That (along with the rumoured prices) is what’s kind of keeping me optimistic here. Lego did a really good job with the sequels, Solo and Rogue One (especially the latter). So I’m hoping they keep up that level of quality for the TMaG waves. Quote

I don't think it's totally out of the realm of possiblity that we get something given Maul's perennial popularity, but I'm not exactly expecting it since TBB got nothing for season three. Also just feels like the kind of thing that'd have been leaked by now if it was happening but idk, we'll see. Quote

Moreover, don’t forget that some of the sets on that list are still coming! Goat simply said „most“ of those sets are coming out in 2027, probably as in more than half, not the „vast majority“ or „almost all“. So with a list of 9 sets, it‘s still possible 4 of them get released this year ^^ That one is part of the other lists, which aren‘t affected Fair, but we have had a few sets the past few Junes IIRC. I guess my point was moreso that we usually have a full wave of sets in august, september, and/or october, and best-case scenario we'd get 2 or 3 of the sets on that original list, which just wouldn't be a full wave. It still feels odd for lego to frontload their sets so much- why not release the Smart sets in august? I would say "most" is probably at the minimum six or seven (kill me) of them. I think most people use "most", "vast majority", "almost all" etc, more or less interchangeably, I doubt goat parses his language that specifically. 10 hours ago, MKJoshA said: This deal is getting worse all the time!

Yeah, if it's true that the august wave doesn't exist, I take back everything I said about not minding the smart bricks as much.

Joke aside, given Lego misses next to no opportunity to put Maul in the spotlight, I wouldn't be surprised at all about a single tie-in set.

I mean, with the Bounty Hunter Pursuit, Bespin Duel and Ewok Village we've already got three episodes covered. Maybe they are truly offering something from every main movie for the 50th Star Wars anniversary. That's at least what I would prefer. Upon thinking about it further, as much as I would still like it to see it being released this summer, having a Bounty Hunter Pursuit remake next year is... acceptable. After all this time, half an eternity, what's just one more year. Quote
Brickify Posted Thursday at 07:49 PM Posted Thursday at 07:49 PM (edited) If they do actually touch on this show for a set I’d guess his gauntlet fighter the nightbrother would be the Choice unless it was something like the AT AC but I doubt that one. Edited Thursday at 07:51 PM by Brickify Quote

As the only live-action show in (post) production, maybe they want to launch it early next year as an additional way to celebrate the anniversary? I guess we'll learn in the coming months, but I wouldn't be surprised. Skeleton Crew was delayed by an entire year despite being long finished, after all. Quote

Because even with their increasing and sometimes rightful trepidation about TV show sets... Maul is Maul. He's the one aspect of TPM that gets routine coverage. Battlefront 2017 added him as the first prequel villain despite the fact that he didn't even really fight the republic in the clone wars (until SoM) aside from his personal grudge with Kenobi. He's got nearly as much merch and media coverage as Vader. And it's a Maul Show (or so the title says- I'm a little concerned this is a trojan horse for this twi'lek jedi), so I can't imagine lego would skip it entirely. Quote

It’d definitely be the Nightbrother. As much as I would love a AT AC, there are already a playscale AT AT and Smart Play AT ST releasing this year. A Rho Class shuttle is out of the question as we’re getting a imperial one this summer. Cautiously optimistic about Shadow Lord. I remember how ToTE looked awesome from the trailer as well. Though what I’m looking forward to is the bad vs worse conflict between the Empire and Maul’s Shadow Collective. Honestly a really fun dynamic. A few of my favourite examples: Baratheons vs Lannisters at the Battle of the Blackwater (GoT), Red vs Yellow Lanterns (Geoff Johns’ GL run), Dr Doom vs any global threat he gets involved with, Forever Evil (DC), Thrawn and the 7th Fleet vs the Grysk, Empire vs Yuuzhan Vong (Legends), Saw Gerrera vs the Empire, English Civil War… Now that we know a huge chunk of the sets we thought were coming aren’t until 2027….

Honestly a really fun dynamic. Indeed! It‘s gonna be interesting to have a villain-turned-anti-hero as the protagonist of a SW show. Usually I‘m not the biggest fan of that dynamic because I like having someone to root for, and that‘s tricky when all factions are scumbags While Maul has done some terrible sh*t, especially in TCW, he‘s still a weirdly sympathetic, yet broken character. Looking forward to it! I know we won‘t get much out of the show in terms of sets, but at least one set shouldn‘t be outside the realm of possibility. I need some TK Troopers and more Inquisitors! People like to clown on the Eleventh Brother, but a minifig would go so hard! Quote

We don't know whether the second season of Ahsoka makes it this year or not. I also wouldn't say that the missing support of TBB has much barring on Maul getting some sets or not, since we already acknowledged that he plays in another league entirely. Though at the same, I wouldn't be shocked if Lego treats it the same as Tales of the Jedi/Empire/Underworld. As in most people just watch the thing in a single sitting and be basically done with it. Though I was just reading it will release two episodes every week to conclude the show on May the 4th, so the episodes won't be available all at once. 12 hours ago, Mandalorianknight said: This makes me think/hope there's more to the year as well.

We only knew that Maul was due for this year. So yeah, depending on Disney's communication with Lego, it might have been too late to work on at least a single set in time. Though they used to often get the memo comfortably beforehand, it might work differently for movies compared to TV shows. As the former is usually dated way ahead of release, while the latter is much closer to it. And I would say that Maul is THE most popular prequel villain there is. It's like the equivalent to Vader from the OT. Quote
icm Posted Saturday at 05:54 PM Posted Saturday at 05:54 PM This vlog from Emmasaurus shows off a lot of the CES exhibit that I haven't seen in other media. They made a full-size prop of the Smart Brick X-wing and they rented the outside of the Sphere to show some kind of gameplay piped from inside the X-wing prop. That prop and ad space can't have been cheap. I wonder what the cost of this promotional experience was compared to, say, the cost of the F1 Drivers Parade where everyone was in full-size Speed Champions car props, and how it compared to the overall development budget for Smart Bricks.

It appears that 75444 is literally a M&G reskin of the 327th BP. There goes our hopes of a normal imperial Battlepack this year. I was hoping it would be a ITT or Vulture Droid. AT AT, X-Wing and Imperial Shuttle are bastions of hope currently. But perhaps a TIE Avenger will break the siege since there’s supposed to be a Shadow Lord set, and it currently doesn’t fit into either the June or July waves, suggesting the existence of an August or September wave. (Also the Imperial Shutte is unallocated a release or set number, lending further credence to a August wave) Why couldn’t this January’s Battlepack have had TK Troopers instead of 332nd Troopers? We literally see Mauldalorians fight them in the Shadow Lord trailer?! The barricade would have made more sense as a imperial build as well dammit.

In terms of battle packs I don't think we've ever had one where both sides are evil (Depending on where you place Tuskens and Jawas on the light side/dark side scale. I'd say since it was pre-mandalorian the tuskens were definitely dark-aligned but the Jawas have always been pretty neutral). I didn't do exhaustive research, so I'm sure I missed something, but I actually can't think of a single set where warring factions that are both bad guys- in the time represented by the set, otherwise ones like Geonosian cannon or the new 332nd pack would work- are included. 4 minutes ago, Llewop said: AT-RT attack.

At least it ain’t clones My guess is if it is a battle pack type set it'll be Mando, Grogu, and two other minifigures, plus a number of separatist droids. The reason they do these super battle packs for the clone wars is since battle droids are cheaper to produce than figures, they could build up more figures for each faction. We'd never get 7-9 minifigures in a $30-45 star wars set otherwise. Otherwise I think the AT-RT isn't the main build and we're just missing information. Quote

The anniversary bp had 6 figures (plus a droid) so technically 7. Not out of the realms of possibility. But the set name itself lends to the fact that at least there is an AT-RT and it’s attacking something. If it’s a bp then maybe it’s a speeder and a basic defensive position. I’m optimistic about it I suppose also (I’m arguing with myself now) if it was a battlepack it would be in the set name. So maybe it is just an AT-RT attacking a small base or couple of speeders Also has anyone had a chance to update the 2026 page with the confirmed leaks, set numbers and release dates yet. I couldn’t see anything definitive just list of sets normally someone is very generous and organises it in to release dates and prices and set numbers etc i just kind of want to know what is coming when as I’m a bit lost. I know March is the tech wave but after that I ain’t got a scooby what’s coming Quote
