I'd say it was already heavily implied to exist thanks to the 2026/27 list  Nice to have some further confirmation though!

With "most" of that wave being moved to 2027 -and "most" being a bit vague in terms of how many exactly, the possibility had opened that it would just be an 18+ set or two in that september/october D2C area. But if there's some system sets still coming, that august wave has to be real. I'd assume Anakin's Delta and hopefully the Ewok Village are 2026 as well. Given there were a number of celebration-y sets on there, it's possible those are all the 2027 ones and Bounty Hunter Pursuit is this year as well.

Got it. He is pretty reliable so if he says it's coming I'm sure we're getting it.

Yes, of course. When somebody's health is on the line, little kids as part of your core audience no less, I would trust Lego to do the right thing. While they definitely can be a cruel company, a quite greedy one at that, they ain't exactly the personified devil. And I don't think we live in a "any publicity is good publicity"-world anymore to allow unnecessary risks. Like Lego is clearly smart and experienced enough to know when to abandon ship. 

Though anything that goes beyond chrome parts, like in favor of some planet's well-being, well... I wouldn't bet on their conscientiousness. It's too often they only care about saying what sounds good like many other big corporations. Making it seems like they are really committed, but they are not. I only remember their green initiative of making plants pieces with actual plants. The aforementioned actual big one, like using a whole new material for all of their parts, didn't come to fruition just yet. 

I absolutely agree with you in general on the environmental stuff rarely being what we're told it is, but like you say, in this case lego probably did the right thing. (Though I want to make clear the actual chrome elements are perfectly safe. The carcinogenic/mutagenic chemicals are a byproduct of the manufacturing process and are not in the actual product, if you have a chrome part in the collection it poses no risk to you. It's sort of like how when you finish building a set you have a few extra parts, if instead of some 1x1s they were dangerous chemicals. So no kid would be injured by the finished parts, the risk would be to factory workers. And even them I'm sure lego's safety codes were up to standard and it was more about the cost/risk associated with disposing of all those chemicals.)

The switch to paper bags however has been successful, with some sets here and there still having plastic bags, but like 90% of the sets I bought since the switch do feature them.

This has to be a regional thing- I have yet to see a single paper bag inside a cardboard-box set. We've started to get the paper polybags in, but it's just Botanicals and I think a city or friends one at all the stores around me.

I don't see why Lego wont just release an N1 in the metallic silver color of the lightsaber hilts. Not quite chrome but good enough, the LBG does not look good for that ship.

Europe tends to have more environmentally friendly regulations than the US. So it’s probable that Lego receives more pressure to include paper bags on this side of the pond. And you probably will not see many for a while too, since the current administration doesn’t seem to think the environment is a problem and therefore Lego will not be that pressured to switch to paper bags.
 

Alright, time for the 283rd daily TIE Avenger post.

Giant fig Vader and Anakin’s Delta are my bets. With a clone set to appease the beasts, the MSL set  and a TIE Avenger to act as a counter for both the U-Wing and X-Wing.

All the others are 18+ collectibles and single set movie representations for the 50th anniversary.

 

Sad it seems we’re getting no Rogue One 10th Anniversary sets this year. Not even a helmet set. If any of the Disney movies deserves more sets it’s RO imo.

We got two inofficial last year but would be great to have a Death Trooper Helmet or some new ships.

Drumlaquer is a whole different- and more expensive- process than standard parts, so it's got a similar issue to chroming, just without the super dangerous byproducts. The issue then also becomes a higher-level version of the reason they aren't just pearl silver- not enough parts currently exist in that color and single sets don't typically have the budget to recolor dozens of parts.

If they could start slowly rolling out more pearl silver parts, eventually we'd have a good base built up for an N-1 or Crest in that color. They've done this with Pearl Gold and are now able to produce mostly pearl gold sets like the golden ultra dragon.

It would speak to what @BrickPrick was saying if us not forcing or pressuring lego into swapping the bag material means they don't do it here. Which I don't have an issue with, I'm OK with lego not being pressured into changing their packaging material. (Though we are starting to get the paper polybags in so I think it's more likely they just chose to start in europe and are now expanding.)

I do think there's a good chance we get Anakin's Delta this year, but Giant Fig Vader could easily be a 50th anniversary set. 

I wouldn't say that a set being based on a single movie would really count as evidence that it's for the 50th anniversary- most sets are based on specific single movies or shows.

Death trooper helmet is a good idea, and I think it would do pretty well. I can see it having some pop to it if it's got dark green lenses. A midi-scale Zeta or something could be a fun build too.

You see, I've got the tendency to jump from once specific thing to kinda generalizing a specific topic from one sentence to another. Like I have already moved on to something else on the inside, but appear to be still be at the same thing on the outside. So when @BrickBob Studpants touched on the point of environmental reasons, I wanted to elaborate on this further. Now if you were under the false impression that I was still talking about the chrome parts, when I was trying to talk beyond that, I totally get that slight misunderstanding. I know my occasional jumpy "writing style" can be quite confusing to others and I need to work on them transitions every single day. Obviously still got a long road ahead of me, but I always intend to do better in the long run. 

Okay, now that little campfire story is out of the way, your explanation of the possible effects from chrome parts being merely a byproduct of the production process is pretty interesting. I wasn't aware of this at all. Thanks for the information.

From my experience, it has to vary by region, yes. I watch many US YouTubers unboxing their sets full of plastic bags, whereas I usually got the newer "paper bags" for the same sets. In the last couple of years, I definitely had more of the latter than the former. Like at least for Lego Star Wars, for the better part of this decade, it was always either "paper" only or a mixture of that and plastic. I can't recall when I had the last bags purely made of plastic.

I'd be willing to pay a bit more for a TPM N1 if it had the silver color.

Day #284

 

New funko pop reveals have revealed a new MSL character called Icarus. A Zabrak with a heavy gun. I wonder if he’ll show up in a set.

I think it‘s interesting how they call the 11th Brother „The Crow“. Maybe the show‘s set so soon after ROTS that they haven‘t even started to give them their numbers yet?  Also, fingers crossed we meet some new Inquisitors. The cane Maul wields in Rebels has to have been the result of him killing an Inquisitor, not just disarming one

I think it’s a nickname/ earned title. Like how Obi-Wan’sThe Negotiator or how Anakin was The Hero with No Fear. (DC and Marvel, please do a Clone Wars x Green Lantern story now you’re doing crossovers again, a Hal Jordan and Anakin Skywalker team up would be peak.)

The show is 1 year after Order 66. And we know from ToTE that the inquisition was established pretty much immediately.

 

I mean, we literally see Maul slime Marrok in the trailer.

ToTE is indeed one of the earliest stories set after ROTS, but I don't think the Inquisitors use their numbers there either. I don't remember if the 4th Sister is ever referred to as such in ToTE. Barriss definitely isn't and we still don't know which number she had

Yes, but we also know he gets resurrected, so that hardly counts

You're right that it's likely some kind of nickname. There's a run of the Vader comic set 1 year after ROTS that shows the inquisitors (invading Mon Cala) and they all already have their -brother or -sister names.

I haven't investigated myself but I heard the trailer shot was cut weird so that it LOOKS like maul's slicing Marrok when really it's someone else.

With how expensive Lego Star Wars is at this point, I don't know if I would. Probably adds $5-10 to whatever the set would have cost.

That's fair, personally I just don't think the LBG captures the elegance of the ship. An extra $5-$10 is easily worth it to me considering the price of the old UCS N1.

The black pauldron piece is now available at PAB. It is called MINI ARMOUR, NO. 35.

6 capes from the DS are now available in a MULTIPACK.

Ha, they're truly running out of names for Star Wars, aren't they? 

 

Are you watching us now, dear leakers? Give us a sign! Typically, it would feel too soon for some more concrete summer wave infos. But since we got first details sooner than we were probably expecting, strategically placed leaks to damage control the BS sets and all, the wait for some clarification feels now more overdue than it actually is. Would be just nice to know what else is on store this year beyond the accompanied M&G sets. With some certain delays, the impact the BS sets have had on the production pipeline is clearly more present than we were anticipating or hoping for. The question remains... how much?

I looked it up to see how ridiculous the price was... and it's 31 cents in the US? I thought it would be multiple dollars each.

Next time I have a lego order I'm adding 10 of these if they're still in stock. That's a great price.

Doesn’t this suggest that we’re getting a lot more sets that feature the pauldron? Especially if it’s that cheap a price.

Not really. It‘s a single-moulded unprinted piece, so I‘m not surprised to see it being sold for a low price

It may show up in the upcoming AT-AT too, but beyond that and the Cantina, I doubt it‘ll show up elsewhere this year.

Don’t know if it’s right but I read the unprinted ones appeared in a different set that’s why they’ve been added to PAB. Also fairly certain the sandtrooper in the smart sets has a pauldron. Not sure if they are a smart figure themselves though or if normal. Looking at the box art I’m guessing it’s a normal figure. 

[BrickBob Studpants]

The Razor Crest allegedly comes with four minifigs, which include Din and Zeb  I would‘ve expected the latter to appear in the X-Wing, but this works too! 

Edit: Trying to figure out the source for this as it could well be a would-be leaker! Ugh, Insta and their fake leaks that get reposted everywhere. I should stick to Discord

Edited Wednesday at 03:34 PM by BrickBob Studpants

[icm]

I hope that isn't true. I would much rather have Zeb with the X-wing than with the Razor Crest. Discounts on a moderately overpriced $70 set will be much easier to find than discounts on a crazy overpriced $150 set, and the likely aftermarket price for Zeb will make me feel like I need to get the entire set new with minifigs instead of getting it secondhand without minifigs. Besides, just four minifigs in a $150 set is awfully stingy.

I'm surprised that meme hadn't been used yet for your crusade.

 

The quantum mechanics that go into PAB pricing elude me- the standard captain america helmet is nearly $7, and there are plenty of unprinted, smallish parts at multiple dollars each- but regardless of any PAB clues, I'm sure we'll see a lot more of the pauldron. Plenty of characters wear it, and it's usage on the sandtrooper implies lego views it as not era-specific and here to stay. (I'm still the old man yelling at cloud about this- I prefer cloth pauldrons- but given how cheap they are I'll probably PAB some to try them out.)

We actually can’t throw aside JediBricks as a fake source anymore. I don’t like him any more than you do. But he was the first to claim: the Buildable Ewok, the Midi Venator, the 332nd Battlepack (2026), Cobb Vanth’s Speeder and the Darth Vader bust. I’d begrudgingly say that’s more than a broken clock.

He also claims that Carson Teva is in the X-Wing.
