The AT-AT is really an interesting one because it’s one of the only vehicles that hasn’t had a downscale so far even though it’s been released in the era. Let’s hope the figures are good. Do we have a lineup? 

Nothing solid as of yet, but given that most ‘large’ Star Wars sets typically include 5-6 minifigures nowadays, my bet would be Mando, Grogu (whether or not he counts as a minifigure is dubious), 1 Remnant AT-AT Pilot, 2x Remnant Snowtroopers (coin toss whether we get a new mould for these or if they just recolour the Galactic Marine helmets), and a Commander.

I watched Jang's reviews of the smart sets and... oh, man. There's a lot of things we can get a more accurate look at now that people have those sets in-hand.

I don't know how to explain it but I totally get what you mean by "looking like Yavin". That said, I also think it's harder to make the village look like Yavin and should turn out pretty well.

I’ve been watching them too, Jang is the most level-headed and insightful reviewer of them all IMO. Dude has been nothing but reliable for over a decade now. But yeah these Smart Play sets are really missing the mark. Given the 9 years of R&D that went into these, it’s a shame that the tech doesn’t seem all that more impressive than what Lego Super Mario is already doing. Duckbricks has also put out a video spanning several hours covering the Smart Play sets - I watched the ending of it and it’s surprisingly scathing.

I feel optimistic that the Ewok Village will turn out better than Yavin IV. It’s far easier making a cohesive structure out of two trees and a dwelling built onto it than it is a facade of the Ziggurat and a random tree (plus the Y-Wing side build). Yavin IV tried doing too much with too little, plus no doubt a lot of the budget went into its fairly generous (albeit boring) minifigure count.

I definitely hope for the Eleventh Brother, as Marrok/First Brother would be a reprint (minus the rust). A new piece for him would be nice too since we‘ve only had one (!) new minifig piece this year, namely Grogu‘s body. Maybe three if you count the Smart minifig torso/legs and the Smart R2 body, but even then that‘s a reeeeeeally low count

Maybe we get more in the summer? Likely candidates are a Snowtrooper helmet, the Shuttle pilot‘s headgear, and perhaps a piece or two in whatever the Maul set is  Too bad we won‘t get Rotta this year, his ripped body definitely would need more than just a reprinted Jabba torso

Haha, don’t forget Zeb’s head and the Remnant AT-RT Driver helmet too! Technically they are just reintroductions of moulds from the past, but I guess they still count as new ‘frames’ given Zeb’s head was only ever used in the Ghost and the Driver’s as the Shore Trooper helmet. 

Even with these in mind, I agree there is a shockingly low number of of new minifigure moulds this year. I agree that it would be nice if we see more new moulds in the summer.

The show does have some cool designs, although this main jedi lady seems to have stolen Cal's fit from survivor almost band for band.

Oh you're right it is similar, I immediately swapped to the pre-order hobo-clone armor as soon as I got the second game so I have no attachment to that look haha.

Reliable leakers have said there should be one coming. But nothing specific.

oh nice I didn't realize, I am stoked to see what it is.

If it's good I'd say it's likely.

I was feeling cynical about the show last year, but I dunno, I really want it to succeed, the cast and crew look great so far, the lead writer has done a lot of good episodes on previous shows.

10 hours ago, Kaijumeister said:

Funko’s merchandise for the show also includes some new characters like Icarus (another Zabrak), but realistically I can’t see him getting a minifigure.

The only reason I think he will get a fig is because Icarus is voiced by Steve Blum (If IMDB is to be believed), which could just be a tiny role, OR we are finally getting a SW character worthy of the Mugen/Spike voice actor and he is going to be a core member of Maul's crew. No hate on Zeb but I was initially irritated that they gave the role of space cowboy jedi to FPJ instead of Spike haha. That being said Zeb and Kanan are both great.

4 hours ago, Mandalorianknight said:

The imperial shuttle, AT-AT, and Sandcrawler all seem to be stemming the downscale flow, at least where it matters IMO.

This is why I don't mind a more compact Razorcrest build. I think its going to allow the crest to scale better with other wave-mates. If they were all downscales I would feel more cynical about it but we will see.

Yup. He's usually very fair, so the fact that even the TITLES of his reviews are pretty scathing... that's not the best sign. At the end of the day it's just going to come down to whether or not the sounds end up adding enough to the kids' play experience that they get their parents to pay so much more for the sets.

Yeah. I think the village can be well-done at $180, and even with a solid figure selection too.

Maybe we'll get lucky and they'll give us a new piece to de-smart the R2 body in an upcoming set. But as-is it's just Grogu Body, Zeb Head, Shoretrooper Helmet, R2 body.

But yes, the mold budget has been very low so far. That said, we said the same exact thing last year and the august wave turned it around. Out of the currently leaked sets the only one I could realistically see including a new mold is the AT-AT with 1-2 new molds for the remnant snowtrooper helmet, so just like with the waves as a whole, the question of whether or not there's more new molds coming comes down to whether or not the smart brick sets "count" or if there's more coming we don't know about. In this case given how long they've allegedly been working on this part of me doubts that the smart bricks are eating this year's new mold budget, though.

I used that outfit to go through the story the first time (And I own it in real life) so I recognize it more, but it really looks near-identical to what she's wearing here, which is really funny. I do hope she ends up as more of an actual dark side apprentice and not just a mace/cal type jedi.

Yeah, I remember, but what changed it were completely unexpected additions like the moulded pauldrons, the new rangefinder, or the Anzellan piece  Not sure if we‘re gonna have something comparable this year, but they may still surprise us!

The identities of 75451 and 75458 are still yet to be known. And the TIE Avenger that’s definitely coming will require a new helmet for Cassian   (Day #318) 

The Goat has now said on Bricktap that he doesn’t think the Maul Shadow Lord set is this year and neither are Ahsoka S2 sets. If true, what on earth is Lego’s decision process right now?!

How is everything going to fit into 2027?! On top of the leaked list, Ahsoka S2, Starfighter, Smart Play and Maul Shadowlord Lord apparently will all be getting sets. In the 1HY too probably.

Something's definitely off here. I don't mean that the goat himself is wrong, but clearly there's a big piece of the puzzle that we're missing. 

Also, something I just thought of in relation to the "smart sets take up shelf space" (which, anecdotally at the store I've seen them at and the ones I've had friends/relatives text me pictures of the display from while asking what lego's thinking, they've been in endcaps at their own separate area where legos don't normally go) issue. Namely a lot of countries are just missing out on a big chunk of our sets this year? Not that I particularly mourn their loss in terms of the smart sets, but it's weird that multiple pretty significant markets just... don't get a whole wave.

The answer's in the question- we aren't expecting them.  Could be anything from new TMAG characters like the Merc Droid in the AT-AT to the fall UCS to a surprise set or two... or the missing August Wave that is becoming my version of @CloneCommando99's TIE Avenger in this thread. (Of course already having Kaine, Daredevil, Moon Knight, Luna Snow in another thread)

 

Looking at more of these reviews, and I think the one that frustrates me most is the Falcon, because it's so close to being a really awesome set and a great move by lego. Had they covered up the smart hole and not had all these gears sticking out, it would actually have been a really great toy and a lot more affordable than previous falcons. Value wise it wouldn't have been terrible either (though let's say since the figures wouldn't have tech we'd get 6 of them total- add Leia and R2). But the smart system just demolishes it. You're literally missing chunks of the set, be it the engine/hyperdrive or most critically just a chunk of hull behind the cockpit. Why couldn't lego at least have included some removable bits to cover the smart holes? Are they overwhelmingly confident that these children's parents will shell out thousands of dollars so they can actually fill all the smart brick spots? Does lego not believe kids would be able to figure out how to remove the bits? I just don't understand what's going on here- these feel like issues that had to have been raised at some point during development, but I just can't see any rationale behind why they were shot down.

Sets like the X-wing bother me just because of how compromised they are. Stuff like the Advanced bother me because I'm worried that double X-wings aside, we won't see a "dumb" one anytime soon. But the Falcon? The falcon could actually have been a contender for the best set of the decade in terms of being a good toy for children, if they hadn't been so focused on putting tech into something that doesn't require it. 

I need to be sword'ied on this one because I'm having trouble putting into words just how close they were and counterbalancing it how frustrating the smart integration is. At $100 I'm not actually going to do it, but I'm close to buying it and making it "dumb" just to show that this thing could have been a TOTY contender.

Hey Lego, how about another OT based Millenium Flacon play set? Releases Episode VII variant. Better luck this time? Solo one released. How about now? Makes Episode IX one that sits on shelves forever. Okay, now a good time? Releases Dark Falcon. But surely you can... Boom, Midi-Scale one. Alright, but now there's no chance of yet... Unleashes miserable monstrosity. And that's not even counting the Microfighter and UCS set that also happened in between. I truly started re-collecting in the worst possible timeline to just get a cookie cutter Episode IV/V/VI rendition of a system scale Falcon. 

Yet I'm so used of not getting one that it's the A-Wing and TIE Advanced whose now assumed prolonged absence bothers me the most. I had high hopes, especially for the latter before we knew what it would ultimately turn into, only to see how both just got completely wasted away for nothing.

I get your point, but apart from the minifigs, the TROS version can easily pass as the OT Falcon, no?

Yeah it's actually pretty wild that we haven't gotten a normal play scale falcon based off the OT since 2011. 7965 is still the best Falcon in my opinion, you get all the main characters except R2 and C3PO. People say 75257 is better but it has too much dark gray and sequel characters I don't like.

Yeah, it probably could pass in terms of design. But it's factually still not based on Episode IV/V/VI, but on the unquestionably worst Star Wars movie ever conceived by human minds. Sure, that actually doesn't affect the set's quality whatsoever, but I take these technicalities quite seriously.

Yep, it truly is pretty wild. It would be very funny if the next OT Falcon would be based on Episode V and included Lando with Han's cloth minifigure... arguably his most obscure possible version. To get that before the modern rendition of his most iconic Cloud City outfit (never released outside the MBS set) would be quite diabolical, but I take every Lando that I can get.

Absolutely. I think they're really dropping the cubical plastic ball if they don't give us a nice big ANH falcon for the 50th.

Though, honestly, I really do think the Smart Falcon was a great concept in terms of "smaller, slightly less accurately shaped falcon for an almost 50% price reduction", which makes it all the more frustrating that the smart integration kills it.

The A-wing and Advanced are also begging for re-releases, though given we have limited set slots that apparently are going to be taken up by 2026 content, I'd be OK with the A-wing holding out until 2028.

As @Darth_Bane13 says, not really. The radar dish has returned to the correct shape, but there's a lot of dark grey parts. It's a reasonable enough approximation for a kid- but I'd argue the Smart Falcon, if you plug up some of the smart holes, is a better one for kids anyway.

That would be funny. I know back in 2023 a lot of us were hoping for an ROTJ falcon with General Lando and Nien Numb, but with Nien released now, I think the most important thing is to put that classic ANH falcon back on shelves.

I think the Smart Falcon does have a nice sized interior for it's price. Being smart brick definitely kills it though.

Definitely. Though with as much sets kinda have to release in 2027, I'm not too sure if it will happen. I mean, is the Dark Falcon set ro retire at the end of this year? Suffice to say, if the previously assumed summer set list is indeed real and is partially released next year, some of those set have to be part of the anniversary line-up. It would almost feel like too big of a coincidence if they weren't.

I think, a lot of the Smart Play sets sounded good on paper beforehand. But the actual execution in practice... yeah. And the rest is history as they say. Please let it be history sooner rather than later.

2028 would be awesome for a proper system scale A-Wing. Wheras a prolonged 2030+ release window due to useless BS shenanigans would freaking suck period. In any case, the recent Slave 1 1-2 punch showed that Lego is willing to release two totally different formats of the same ship within a pretty small timeframe, so let's see.

I get where Sir Studdy Bobby Brick Pants is coming from. Certain similar design aspects (beyond the obvious shaping as a basis) are definitely there. May not be enough to be a 1:1 recreation, but nothing a fair few mods couldn't fix, I guess. The closest might still be the TFA version, though. Which the TROS one resembles closer than, say... the Solo one. And especially the dark mode one.

Ha, I was fortunate enough to never bear witness to this alleged atrocity in motion. So there's no blaming me to not even consider this work of art in the first place. Although TROS remains the only canon Star Wars movie I never fully watched from beginning to end to this day.

Yeah, which funnily enough brings us back to the A-Wing as well. And even more interesting... you indeed got both Lando and Nien Nunb a year later, but in a totally different set. 

[calebcold3]

So, it seems like these 3 are the only remaining sets we need names/details for this year:

• 75451: $50, 
• 75458: $70
• 75461: $100

76541 is said to be a Mando and Grogu set, and I think it's going to be a buildable Anzellan. I think 75458 will be a midi-scale Razor Crest in the Starship collection.

I remember seeing somewhere that 75451 is going to be Darth Maul set? But it's wild how by the end of this year, 2/3 of the sets will be either Mando themed or Smart Brick.

If either 75451 or 75458 are 18+ gimmick sets I’m going to crash out.

And not just because of my TIE Avenger lust (#319). Other eras that aren’t Mando need to have representation.

This is a good point that I’ve completely overlooked, if there’s some semi-decent relative scaling between the larger sets, that would be pretty awesome. Just a shame that as always the price side of things blunts these advantages.

Aw man. That means that (disregarding a mech and battle pack), the entire year is practically entirely Mandalorian and Smart Play sets.

I’m really worried Lego will just skip sets based on Ahsoka Season 2 and Maul Shadow Lord. Hopefully not though, given how ‘toyetic’ both shows are looking.

Haha I think I’m in the same ‘bargaining’ stage you are, hoping there’s still a summer wave with some surprises left that aren’t Mando related.

Really good points on the Falcon, in many ways it has the potential to be a phenomenal set and one where some downscaling actually helps it. Here are some highlights for me:

- Overall tighter structure and profile. The larger playscale Falcons are great, but they also look like a jumble of plates (TRoS Falcon somewhat improved on this, but still).

-  Fantastic interior. Sure it’s not as big, nor is it completely accurate, but it’s incredibly polished compared to the underutilised open space in most playscale Falcons we get. I’d rather have less space used well than excessive room to just stuff copious minifigures into.

-  Play features that are actually well integrated and aren’t a blight on the set itself, like the removable coaxium chamber and Luke’s Jedi acrobatics that can be controlled via the port-side airlock. I love it when designers actually put some thought into balancing play and display like this.

For next year, I can imagine us getting a Falcon that’s slightly bigger than the Smart Play one but smaller than the usual playscale iterations. If it can accommodate two minifigures in the cockpit, apply some more advanced building techniques to nail the shaping, and still retain some of the play features and polished interior that the Smart Play Falcon has, it genuinely could be an all-time best set.

And here we were thinking the cloneganza of 2025 was bad.

Agreed. Even with a film in theatres, dedicating practically an entire year’s lineup to just one thing from Star Wars is just the wrong move. Not everyone is into the Mandalorian and even for those of us that are, there’s no need to completely choke us with Mando-only sets.

The best Lego Star Wars years have always been when multiple eras have been represented on shelves, even a few (non-half baked) sets would help diversify the mandomania we’re seeing.

I come from the future and I have some bad news for you... so be ready for the big crashout. 

As much as I like it when your dedicated, well-oiled meme machine is functioning in full force, I appreciate your seamless TIE-IN Avenger crusade postings just the same.

It's hard with the Falcon, though, because that ship is mostly LBG but has seams and dents all over that could be modeled with DBG. If you compare the TROS Falcon set with the CGI Falcon used in the remake of the Original Trilogy, there's a very strong semblance, right down to the placement of the dark tan and dark red plates/tiles. True, the TROS Falcon set has some proportion issues, the DBG areas are really big (to me they look like they're supposed to be shadows - but was TLG actually modeling how the TROS Falcon looks in the movie with that much DBG?) and some details are pretty coarse, but it's a solid start for MODing into an Original Trilogy Falcon. You could basically start with what I did here...

...and if the DBG bothers you, substituting LBG parts or tiling the ship all over should be reasonably simple.

75451 is allegedly a M&G set codenamed „Hutt and Droid“. Huh. And here I thought Rotta might be in the $100 set, before the PPR and age rating destroyed that dream!  Even better! And it‘s scheduled for August, so there is your August wave

75451 is allegedly a M&G set codenamed „Hutt and Droid“. Huh. And here I thought Rotta might be in the $100 set, before the PPR and age rating destroyed that dream!  Even better! And it‘s scheduled for August, so there is your August wave

At that price they're unlikely to be a set of non-figure-scaled buildable figures (I'm preparing to put my foot in my mouth when it turns out they somehow are), so that's great news. I assume droid is either the mercenary droid or one of the large droid creatures we see in one of the trailers. Good news overall if unfortunate that this year is I think somehow more mando-centric than last year was CW centric. (Which wouldn't necessarily be bad- this year does see a mando film releasing after all- if not for how overwhelming it is.)

You joke, but if these three are in august, you throw in however much of that leaked list isn't "a lot", and maybe 1 or 2 other previously unknown sets and we are in fact seeing a full august wave!

Definitely. Though with as much sets kinda have to release in 2027, I'm not too sure if it will happen. I mean, is the Dark Falcon set ro retire at the end of this year? Suffice to say, if the previously assumed summer set list is indeed real and is partially released next year, some of those set have to be part of the anniversary line-up. It would almost feel like too big of a coincidence if they weren't. 

2028 would be awesome for a proper system scale A-Wing. Wheras a prolonged 2030+ release window due to useless BS shenanigans would freaking suck period. In any case, the recent Slave 1 1-2 punch showed that Lego is willing to release two totally different formats of the same ship within a pretty small timeframe, so let's see. 

Ha, I was fortunate enough to never bear witness to this alleged atrocity in motion. So there's no blaming me to not even consider this work of art in the first place. Although TROS remains the only canon Star Wars movie I never fully watched from beginning to end to this day. 

It is, so it's definitely possible- but yes, it's concerning how 2027 is starting to fill up without any ANH anniversary sets yet.

Yup- or getting the "smart" X-wing and NR "dumb" X-wing only a month apart. I think the odds at getting a normal A-wing/Falcon/Advanced are probably not too bad.

I watch the 1978 holiday special every thanksgiving with my friends. It's so bad it's legitimately enjoyable. TROS I actually don't think is the worst film- I would place it around AOTC and potentially above TPM- but part of that is because I really disliked a lot of the choices TLJ made and respect TROS for trying to right the ship and undo some of those, even if the damage had already been done and TROS makes plenty of it's own unfortunate decisions along the way.

I think the Smart Falcon does have a nice sized interior for it's price. Being smart brick definitely kills it though.

Yeah. If it wasn't smart brick, it would legitimately be a perfect set for kids.

 the DBG areas are really big (to me they look like they're supposed to be shadows - but was TLG actually modeling how the TROS Falcon looks in the movie with that much DBG?)

This is what makes me think it's not a good representation of the OT falcon, there's just too much DBG strewn about. I hope they weren't trying to model shadows, that would be kind of a strange choice.

TPM is so much better than TROS it doesn't even deserve to be in the same conversation.

And here we were thinking the cloneganza of 2025 was bad.

This is a bit better as there’s a more even spread of faction vehicles and more different characters. It’s still not great though.

As much as I like it when your dedicated, well-oiled meme machine is functioning in full force, I appreciate your seamless TIE-IN Avenger crusade postings just the same. 

Synergy War poster is in the pipeline. Don’t you worry.

I can reveal that Brickheadz Joker will be the villain of TIE Avengers: Release Day (unlike Marvel studios, I am capable of planning things in advance)

Salvation must lie in 75458. 75450 seems to have been skipped. 

We’re more than meets the eye

Aw man. That means that (disregarding a mech and battle pack), the entire year is practically entirely Mandalorian and Smart Play sets.

I’m really worried Lego will just skip sets based on Ahsoka Season 2 and Maul Shadow Lord. Hopefully not though, given how ‘toyetic’ both shows are looking.

Including the Battlepack and mech they’ve only made clone, Mandalorian and Smart Play sets this year (I miss the wide variety)

Lego is making a lot of mistakes this year for no reason. A full 8 sets for Smart Play instead of the main 3 to test the market? Another Buildables Grogu when last year’s one is still on sale? No sets for new content that isn’t Mando, when even during the ST years we got Rebels and Resistance sets? All the non-movie play-sets being based on the Mando series? No TIE Avenger?! I get there’s a movie coming out but they’re going a bit overboard.

That name is hilarious but I'm glad Rotta is seemingly coming in such a cheap set, might end up getting it.

Gosh, I just hope it won't be a brickbuild Rotta! A molded Hutt in a $50 set would actually be pretty good.

Would they use Jabba's mold for Rotta? I mean, he looks jacked, with abs showing...
