Let's break it down, shall we...

• 2020: 1 polybag, 2 GWP sets, 3 microfighters, 2 battlepacks, 1 4+ set, 8 display sets, 14 playsets, 1 AC, total of 32 sets.
• 2021: 1 polybag, 2 GWP sets, 2 microfighters, 0 battlepacks, 1 4+ set, 7 display sets, 11 playsets, 1 AC, total of 25 sets.
• 2022: 2 polybags, 1 GWP set, 2 accessory packs, 1 microfighter, 1 battlepack, 1 4+ set, 9 display sets, 11 playsets, 1 AC, total of 29 sets.
• 2023: 1 polybag, 2 GWP sets, 2 microfighters, 2 battlepacks, 3 mechs, 1 4+ set, 9 display sets, 10 playsets, 1 AC, total of 31 sets.
• 2024: 2 polybags, 2 GWP sets, 1 microfighter, 2 battlepacks, 1 mech, 1 4+ set, 10 display sets, 12 playsets, 1 AC, total of 32 sets.
• 2025: 1 polybag, 2 GWP sets, 1 microfighter, 2 battlepacks, 1 mech, 1 4+ set, 16 display sets, 8 playsets, 1 AC, total of 33 sets.
• 2026: 2 polybags, 1 GWP set, 0 microfighters, 1 battlepack, 1 mech, 1 4+ set, 9 display sets, 10 playsets, 8 Smart Play sets, 2 unknowns, 1 AC, total of 36 sets.

Umm, yeah. Even if the list is already complete, this is the largest number of sets we've had in years. And you guys expect more??

I think it comes from a lot of us not seeing or counting the smart bricks, and the fact that TMAG dominates most of the playsets this year. 

If you don't count the smart brick sets (I understand they take up shelf space like anything else, I get that they count to lego, but I also get why a lot of us don't count them), we have 28 sets. Compare that to the last years in which movies were released:

2019: 35 sets (38 if you count Action Battle, but I'm not counting smart brick so I'll leave them off to be fair)

2018: 36 sets (40 if you count the bionicles, but I'm not counting smart brick so I'll leave them off to be fair)

2017: 35 sets (44 if you count the bionicles)

2016: 37 sets (46 if you count bionicles)

2015: 39 sets (45 if you count bionicles)

Point being, every previous movie year had significantly more sets than we're getting this year outside whatever the gimmick of the time was. If we were getting a nice big august wave of 7 or so sets, I think this year would look a lot better. As is, even the clone bros are largely locked out this year, which is wild- but at the end of the day the OT doesn't really pick much up in their wake, with literally no non-smart sets explicitly based on them and 3-4 that you could squint figureless and say they count. If ewok village, anakin's delta, etc were this august, we'd be looking a lot better for the year. But as is, if you don't want "smart" lego or The Mandalorian, you are almost entirely out of luck. No previous movie years since the disney acquisition were monopolized by the film in this way.

More like weakest year since last year. 

If there is no august wave, this is definitely a rough year, but it's not as bad as 2025 was. 

The TMAG/Mando sets definitely dominate the system lineup, but unlike the clone sets it hasn't been a year-on-year deluge- aside from Buildable Baby Yodas, Mando's number of sets the last few years has been pretty reasonable.

No way, really? I had no idea. Next you're going to tell me that some of us on the forum want a Mara Jade minifigure, and, come on, that's just astronomically unlikely. (Still waiting on that Thunderbolts poster btw. Do I need to get Brickbob insulting the Church of Mara again so we can get a Civil War one out and keep the ball rolling?)

I didn't really mind the set selection in 2025, my problem was more with the execution and prices. This year may be worse because the smart sets are the worst LSW subtheme of all time.

I think we also have to remember that only 6 countries have the full 2026 sets at the moment. Rest of the world don’t get the smart play sets and even within them there are normal minifigure that aren’t smart so technically for me at least if you aren’t one of the six that’s 8 sets fewer. I don’t know if Lego plan on expanding it (probably will) but then for the rest of the world 2027 will have 8 sets more than the 6 this year. I think until the whole world gets the smart sets you have to separate them out.
 

Then this is the first year since RoS that we have a film coming out so again Lego did do a few film waves that boosted set numbers in the 2010s. I think there’s a few sets coming in August I reckon it is most of what was on that list Lego revealed and the news of some being delayed for 2027 could just be one/two not the whole thing. 

I don’t think Lego would be worried about retail space as all the retailers will get extra space for all th TMAG stuff because at the end of the day it’s a SW film and SW merchandise always sells.

They definitely plan to do so. On s@h, the 8 sets have been added in other countries too, where you now have the option to get notified once they become available, and I doubt that takes a year

Moreover, the 8 sets do count towards the total because of the two bottlenecks involved: production capacity and shelf space (and not just retail, at LEGO stores too). If Smart Play sets really were produced in addition to other sets, then there would be no need for Pokémon to mostly replace Mario and Animal Crossing, no?  

As for the 2025 and 26 comparisons: we get a LOT more playsets compared to 18+ sets this year, with very little focus on Clones, so unless you move goal posts, you can’t say 2025 was better

Don’t worry my friend. You will need a fraction of the patience waiting for the poster than we need for the TIE Avenger. Which is currently on day #297.

Just hit me that we're only a little over two months away from a full year of the TIE Avenger posting. I guess we're probably still a ways out from getting one though--even if there are a few 2026 sets yet to be leaked, I think it's more likely they'd go to the new film and TV material for this year. Maybe it could still sneak in winter 2027 though.

On the whole, I think this year is a pretty mixed bag. I'm glad we're not getting so many display sets, but the smart bricks are even worse in my opinion. It's kinda neat to get sets for a new movie again, but I can't say I'm too excited for M&G and the sets we've seen so far are mostly decent builds at ridiculous prices, even for this theme's standards. I wasn't a big fan of 2025's lineup but honestly with the way things are going, I wouldn't be surprised if I buy less sets this year.

Also, am I forgetting something, or is there just not another battlepack (that we know of) for 2026. I'm not that interested in the one we got already, which is a shame because I always find it easiest to convince myself to grab army builders.

[BrickBob Studpants]

A new M&G trailer will drop tomorrow!  About time.

As a big Mando fan, this is shaping up to be a great year in my eyes

Your best bet is somewhere around day #615

You should. Looking at every previous year where we've had one of the disney star wars movies released, there's been a full wave of sets more than we got this year. There better be an august wave.

1HY 2027 was always the most likely slot, given the current estimates are that it seems to take roughly a year and a half for lego to design a set after a product is released. Any sooner and it would have been a "spoiler" set in development before Andor released that they chose to wait until after the show to drop- which seems unlikely, given that it was one of the main marketing items and shown off to the public very early on. If 1HY 2027 comes and goes without an Avenger, it means Lego likely didn't view it as popular enough to develop a set based on it following the show, and unless it shows up somewhere else the chances will get lower and lower as time passes- it's rare for us to get something based on anything but Mando more than two years after the project's release.

Maybe one or two sets of the mostly-2027 list make it, but I don’t think we can really expect more here. Sure, previous movie years had more sets each year, but those were also the years with 3-4 battlepacks and 3-4 microfighters, inflating those numbers quite a bit  

Also, what sense does it make that we already know a bunch of 2027 sets, and yet there is supposed to be an entire secret 2026 wave hiding somewhere?  Besides, there are enough sets with still unconfirmed release dates floating around to actually form a full August wave

I’m grasping at straws here but to be super pedantic, @Lego_Minecraft_Goat’s original Instagram story said ‘a lot’ of the original summer list is either delayed / coming next year - whether that means ‘most’ (>50%) is anyone’s guess. In either case given that there are 9 sets on that list, it’s probably reasonable to expect at least 2-3 this year? 

But hey, grasping at straws. I do find it curious though that the usual leakers have neither confirmed nor denied the existence of a ‘full’ August wave. If it were guaranteed that everything we know so far (bar the aforementioned list) was it for 2026, surely they could have just confirmed it? Very curious.

As for the Mando Trailer-Teaser, it looks good! I’m hoping the trailer serves to impress. I noticed from the buildable Grogu box art and The Art of TMaG cover that it looks like the pair will visit Nal Hutta in the film.

[ArrowBricks]

That Zeb minifigure is truly special. I don’t think it’s been spoken about enough. I am praying that what I see on the screen matches with the quality in-person.

Sure looks like it!  Rotta's obviously in the movie and the twins are on the poster, so this would make a lot of sense. Maybe we'll see some snippets in the trailer tomorrow!

Oh, I know, that prediction wasn’t exactly out there  Still, Kuiil being included was far from guaranteed  And my whimsical manifestation powers clearly fail me on a regular basis *cough* a certain TIE variant *cough*

Yeah, it admittedly could have turned out the other way, but it didn't. So for what it's worth, that's a good thing, I suppose. 

 

That's a super slick looking X-Wing right there. Always like it when they throw some coloured variants into the mix to spice things up a little. However, the total lack of minifigures is yet again sticking out like a sore thumb. Getting just two real minifigs in a $70 play set should be illegal. The fact the green Astromech Droid looks pretty similar to the one included in the ARC-170 doesn't help things either. So no... definitely not a fan of the standard the M&G line of products are setting. 

Having seen the official pictures for all other sets, my initial impression remain unchanged. Some seemingly solid sets with terribly greedy price points. Don't know if I will get any of those this year.

You mentioned that 100$ set, and I am really hoping it might be a location set or a villain ship with Rotta, I sort of think the imperial remnant stuff is all just a misdirect and it's mostly opening sequences of the movie to show him doing jobs for the new republic, but I think/Hope that the bulk of the story is going to be monsters and mayhem and bounty hunters and mercenaries on Nal Hutta.

Exactly. And I would assume the "A lot" are probably anniversary-y stuff like the posters. I think there's a chance at an august wave, the only real evidence against it is:

1.  The one leak saying "a lot" of that specific list was meant for 2027. (But not all of it, and notably not a statement that there was no august wave or the august wave would be small- just that that specific list included a lot of stuff not releasing this august)

2. We have about as many sets as the past few years this year (But fewer than all the previous years where we've had movies, and notably very little of it is in lego's 2HY with this first wave of Mando sets releasing in april)

The 2027 stuff is odd, but at the same time, this would be the first time I can remember that we didn't have an august wave. It would be equally strange for the august wave to be just one or two playsets.

Is it not also odd that we know so many 2027 sets this early? I don't think we've ever seen January sets leak a full year early, and that's assuming they're all january. I don't think it's impossible that the posters and some of the other ones that seem anniversary-like are early development for the anniversary, but that the basic sets we saw like the village and Anakin's starfighter are this year.

And as I've pointed out here before, in a year in which a new movie releases we usually get about a wave more of sets than we are this year, even if you remove those years' equivalent to the smart brick gimmick sets.

If that astromech was a normal figure, the set would be about the same as a lot of these other $60-75 sets with 3-4 minifigures. The issue is for whatever reason, lego counts astromechs as full minifigures, something they don't even do with battle droids. It doesn't make sense to me- it's four unarticulated elements, only two of which are printed. I can understand that it's more expensive than, say, an unprinted 2x2 dome, but printed parts aren't exactly figure-exclusive, and I always assumed a lot of the minifigure's cost came from detailed headgear molds and the fact that the torso and legs are actually assembled combinations of multiple pieces. I would love to hear LEGO's explanation as to why they value the astromechs like this.

There’s got to be more sets. There are only 2 clones been released this year it’s like Lego doesn’t even care about clone fans anymore…. 

I can comprehend that personal sentiment. Where are all the Clones sets? It must have been half an eternity since we got some of them white guys with coloured accents. Everything is littered with OT stuff right now. Don't know how much longer I can live in such a one dimensional Lego world!

Like others have already said, this year's table of content is getting heavily inflated with the BS sub-theme, making it seem like less sets than there actually are. In addition, the recency bias might still be a thing. It's not that long ago when we all assumed the fully leaked wave was for this summer and the BS sets would have next to no impact on the actual overall line-up. Now we know that they do it kinda feels like a slimer than usual offering. The fact that all other additional formats are still releasing at an all-time-high doesn't help matters, too.

There's no need to grasp at straws, my man. We will have our glorious General Skywalker minifigure. In this life... or the next.

Since when is Lego counting Astromechs as proper minifgures? That's news to me. I may only speak for the german product descriptions, but there they clearly count Astromechs as "additional figures". It goes like "includes X amount of Lego Star Wars minifigures *insert names* and *insert Astromech* as additional figure. Lego be like "you are on the box art, but we do not grant you the rank of minifigures."

I get that, but whether we like a subtheme or not has no bearing on production capacity and shelfspace, which determine the number of sets each year  And sales, of course.

Are they? We only have three buildable figures this year instead of five, two midi-scale sets instead of the usual three, and no helmets  Granted, the helmets are replaced with busts, but still. The ratio between playsets and display models is definitely different this year.

Now we’re talking. That’s much better. It actually makes me feel hope for the movie.

It appears we’re also getting a look at the Hutt military. So surely we’re getting one of those Hutt starfighters as a set? And an imperial remnant BP? And the Shadow Council base?

And Rotta with some of the creatures. 

Though seeing Embo work alone and for villains somewhat upsets me. At the end of Aftermath he was teaming up with Dengar and Jas Emari to work some NR bounties (presumably Imperial Remnant hit jobs). So it’s a shame that partnership seems to have collapsed. 

 

Alright, due to demand from @Mandalorianknight to reach New TIE Avengers, the fact that Mara Jade debates with the blasphemous sponge can erupt at any time, and that same sponge has been logically quelling our hopes for more sets this year: 

Here’s the 3rd instalment in the LTACU:

@BrickPrick, Nick Fury won’t be in future instalments so you’ve been upgraded to War Machine.

@Llewop, you are Bucky since your minifig’s sigil is of a White Wolf.

Yeah... you are obviously right on this one. Quality is a subjective thing, mere quantity is not, but a stone cold fact. If Lego releases 36 sets in total this year, then it's still the most we got for this decade, no way around that and regardless what we think about them. It just FEELS like less when you are less interested in those, I suppose.

See... I can't even tell the difference anymore. I see the third buildable Grogu and Lego about to lose their mind on this tiny guy that I perceive the non play scale sets as more than ever. But it's actually more on the "still too much" side of things, rather than "the most ever". But I may throw in all those BS sets into the mix so that my point still stands, even though I don't wanna be right on this one.

Not literally a minifigure, but if you look at similar sets, you can see that the astromech droid takes up a minifigure slot. Compare this to battle droids, where they often appear in excess of what would be the normal amount of minifigures for that set.

Exactly. Dropping this in the super bowl would have been a great move. Even just dropping part of it and doing "full trailer online now" like a lot of movies have done. Just showing us an actual movie.

I wouldn't mind the 2027 $10 set being the Mercenary Droid's STAP and a bit of terrain with him and Embo.

This wouldn't be the first time Filoni overwrote Aftermath (which, honestly, isn't the biggest deal to me. I don't love altering canon, but the aftermath books really don't hold up as well IMO and were we to stick to them 100% it would limit a lot of what they can make regarding the imperial remnant. Honestly stuff like Operation Cinder and Sloane and Hux starting the FO has aged pretty poorly now that they want to explore and draw out the empire more post-ROTJ.). Filoni loves Embo, so I'm sure that after he and mando inevitably fight, Embo will realize the hutts misled him or something and he'll join him in the final battle. (Plus, that bit needs to be overwritten anyway so Dengar can be working for the empire in the HTTE trilogy, because Filoni's going to make it a 100% accurate adaption of the thrawn trilogy, right? Right?)

Tangent upon a Tangent but I did always like that trilogy's notion that Dengar's bandages and face weren't part of a permanent maiming, but he just happened to be injured when we saw him first. Adds to the lived-in feel of the universe.

Yeah, they don't officially classify Astromech Droids as minifigures, buy may use them to replace some of them. Though in this case, two and a half minifigures or not, it's not enough either way. I've just always been sick and tired of this minifigure madness. What I will say, though, it probably doesn't get much cheaper for Lego than producing B1 Battle Droids.

(Check the lightsaber in her hand- it's not Black Widow anymore)

Haha, I actually misspelled Black Widow and only just realized the purple lightsaber. So in a funny unintended way, it checks out. 

 

Still haven't watched the new M&G trailer, but judging by several reactions... it seems to be a good one.

Awesome work as always, @CloneCommando99! It‘s blaspheming time! …ummmm, Mara Jade is a silly goose. There, that‘ll show her and her cult!

It appears we’re also getting a look at the Hutt military. So surely we’re getting one of those Hutt starfighters as a set? And an imperial remnant BP? And the Shadow Council base?

It would be nice to get a decent amount of those Hutt mercenary droid figures, do you think those will be classic battle droids or minifigs with new heads and capes?

Embo has to be in a future set for sure! 

Embo and Rotta. I no longer want a gladiator arena based set haha, I would much rather have something based on the Hutt fortress. I feel like that 100$ set you mentioned has to have Embo or Rotta in it. I want it to be a Hutt fortress build, there is just no way they can do it at 100$. More likely they would do a starhopper and some merc droids, maybe a STAP and a turret build from the fortress.

Was that the homestead embo was approaching in the trailer? Maybe the homestead is a good location for a final showdown, with Embo and the homestead. I wonder what happens to the N-1 in this movie. Embo had an old ship design in concept art but I wonder if they keep it for this movie, and if its even in the movie much.

There is a very quick shot at 1:14 with the Razorcrest shooting down some new starfighters, they all look the same, but I can't tell what they are but they don't look like starhoppers, TIE, or Vultures, they gotta be something new, so maybe those show up in a set as well.

Minifigs due to them being bulky with armour probably.

Don’t put too much hope on the $100 set (75461). It has 1028 pieces and a 12+ age rating. Which suggests it will be a Buildable character. Likely an Anzellan.

That leaves two more possible sets.

75458 has 775 pieces for $70 dollars (please be a TIE Avenger)

75451 is $50

One of them is likely the Maul Shadowlord set.

 

And in the 1HY of next year I’m not sure if there’ll be space for more M&G sets. As Ahsoka S2 and Starfighter will both require 1HY set slots. And that’s not even factoring the inevitable 2nd wave of Smart Play.

As the kids say: Chat. We might be cooked.
