I can go wherever/ whenever the plot (of the TIE Avenger campaign) demands. (#326)

A hypothetical August wave should include:

Don't forget that "a lot of" that leaked list was 2027- not all of it. Anakin's Starfighter could easily be the Jedi Starfighter this year. If there is an august wave, I'd assume it, Ewok Village, and maybe even bounty hunter speeder (I know it's AOTC's 25th next year but lego doesn't tend to make many standard playsets for your average "movie is _5 years old" stuff. It's usually 18+ and/or the brickheadz pack) are all present, with stuff like the posters or icons of star wars being meant for the franchise's 50th.

Any ideas everyone when we might see May pictures? Assuming and of this month. 

I thought we had all the May sets and are just missing the June/July ones? Is the AT-AT May?

You’ll get a Luke’s Landspeeder and you’ll like it!!

You joke, but a speed-champions level build (maybe with a Tatooine Biggs minifigure included) would actually be cool to me. A lot's changed design wise since 2020

The May sets are just the two busts and the UCS N-1, unless I‘m forgetting something

The AT-AT’s release date is currently unknown, so I assume it gets released alongside the Rotta set in August. 

Edit: Just looked it up on Brickmerge, so this is the current release schedule:

• May: Yoda and Vader busts, N-1, Darksaber GWP
• June: $100 M&G set, unknown $70 set
• July: Imp Shuttle
• August: AT-AT, Sandcrawler, Rotta set, Boba figure

Ahh, Smart play? I'll pass those. Maybe some will like those?

 

That LEGO 75447 Star Wars: The Razor Crest set is quite swooshable.

Looks better than the 75292 Razor Crest, in my opinion. And similar price to what 75292 could have had now.

A bit too expensive? Yes.

A few will buy them. Even less will like them... hopefully. 

It is. 

I like the colour scheme more on this one, but proportion-wise prefer the original. 

Heavily overpriced, I'd say. Yet nothing unusual in this day and age.

 1807! It was me Barry!! I was the admiral who bombarded Copenhagen!!!! (Day #225 of trying anything to get a TIE Avenger)

It’s the next $70 set 

Other than you are again a hundred days short my dear time traveller friend, I have no idea what you're actually referring to. But based on your ongoing meme machine, I bet it will all make sense and is well thought out.

We can reasonably assume it takes roughly 1.5 years for lego to produce a standard playscale system set. This is evidence by things like the No Way Home set, which we can assume they were speeding to production ASAP, or the Mando sets actually kicking into high gear in summer 2021 (1.5 years after the tail end of 2019). In Mando's case, the Crest was already in production and simply retooled to include baby yoda- you can actually see this in a promo video where 99% of the crest is ready but there's a little 3-D printed baby yoda- and they rushed a brickheadz out only ~9 months after seeing Baby Yoda, but it's reasonable to think brickheadz are easier to produce than normal sets.

If the Avenger wasn't in the works before the show released, the earliest lego could get it out would likely be 1.5 years later, so at the start of 2027. As a counterbalance, if they had planned the avenger from the start, it would be odd for them to release it a year after the show- it's not exactly a spoiler set.

Okay, I see. You are right. If we assume it takes Lego 1.5 years to create a new play scale set, then it could very well be too soon for an TIE Avenger just yet. Of course, the actual release timing always depends when Lego got the memo in advance. That again can depend whether the set enters spoiler territory, which you already said it's not. Suffice to say, this year showed that Lego is in fact willing to revisit older Disney+ shows and make sets based on them. Although this is more Mando merchandise we're talking about... Andor is another beast entirely. So I hate to say it, but I wouldn't bet on an Avenger in, say, 2028 and beyond. But maybe Lego moves more along the mindset of it being another cool TIE variant, rather than making a set based on a show way past it's prime time.

Wait, what if they get the Speed Champion guys on the AOTC Bounty Hunter Pursuit next year? That’d be fire.

What are at 75450 and 75451 supposed to be? I think 75451 is supposedly a $50 Maul Shadow Lord set

75451 is the Rotta set and 75450 may not exist.

Also, we have pictures of the Vader and Yoda busts, and if you thought the buildable Yoda from 2019 was scary, OH BOI

Vader looks ok but building the helmet in this size has not enough details and need to make compromise like the gap under the mouth (but I'm pretty sure that could have been avoided somehow).

"OH BOI" sums up Yoda pretty well 😄.

Why do these sets have minifigures but the helmet- and starship-collection doesn't.

Yup. If we don't see one between January-May 2027, unless it shows up in other content I don't think we'll see one anytime soon at all.

Yes- the speed champions team is known for builds that are so good they almost feel like magic.

Yeah, Vader was close- I think the mudguards for the eyes hurt it a lot. Kind of make it look like he has cartoon eyebrows that come off his helmet.

I have no idea what the plan was with yoda, he's not even a traditional bust. Does someone at lego get a kick out of making him look... you know... the way his eyes look in this and the 2019ish statue?

This is something I won't complain about. Lego including minifigures in them is good news- the Sauron and F1 helmets this year also include minifigures, so I think this is a good thing and if these busts don't replace helmets, we'll start seeing minifigures in helmets and- fingers crossed- the starship collection.

 

 

The Vader bust is OK. It's not perfect, but it's not bad at all. The design isn't quite enough to get me to pick it up, but I can see what they were going for and think it's executed alright. This will probably do OK, especially with the vader helmet set gone.

No idea what's happening with Yoda. Somebody at lego's got to be doing this on purpose. He's also not even a traditional bust, since his arms are fully included. I don't think this will do very well.

[Darth_Bane13]

I don't know how that Yoda bust even got approved. Who would buy that?

[Tariq j]

That Yoda bust is comical. I’ve always felt characters with helmets or droids translate better with these types of sets. I also like that they’re including minifigures with these and I do think a Boba and/or Jango Fett bust would be pretty cool. 

[ArrowBricks]

Yoda is something else. Vader looks decent. It’s all a bit meh.

Yeah, this is what I think as well. 

Okay, that's good to know.

 

They really gave Yoda the Gremlins eyes... again?! 

So, now the busts are eligible for including minifigs. Man, I wish Lego would be more consistent with this stuff. Or at least more transparent with communicating their reasoning why certain 18+ formats do include minifigures and why many don't. As this adaptable "will we-won't we" approach is getting absolutely annoying. 

[BacktoBricks]

Lego Star Wars: You're gonna wish you never asked for minifigures with your displays sets.

Seriously though, Vader is half decent, but Yoda is just ... Well it has a minifigure included.

I don't understand this part. We've been asking for minifigures in these 18+ sets for forever, they're starting to put them in, and so we're... complaining that they're adding minifigures? It's not like they're flip-flopping on it.

Yoda scares me

Vader’s ok I guess.

75450 as far as we know has been skipped. 75451 is the Hutt set. 75458 is obviously a TIE Avenger /s (#327)

 

Looking at the day: 327th are big poo poo heads I guess.

[Swordy]

Not impressed by the Vader bust. It feels like it's missing something—not to mention it looks way too small. It's a seemingly straightforward design, yet it misses the mark somehow.
I actually like the Yoda bust—apart from those demoniac eyes—since the character's silhouette is captured perfectly and the presentation with the green lightsaber is unique. Of the two, I'd be more likely to display the Yoda (with, I don't know, googly eyes covering those pits of everlasting darkness) since it has the more dynamic display.

I get it now. I'm sure the Jawas have indeed attempted to market Sandcrawler Bucks, it would be in-character. 

Exactly. Maybe this is how the Off-world Jawas fund their militaristic efforts.

Yeah it's a new subtheme too, so there is no precedent for them not to include minifigs with the busts.

The only small-scale busts we had before (not counting the SDCC exclusives from a couple of years ago) were the two Marvel ones last year, both of which came with minifigs, so it‘s consistent within this particular subtheme ^^ The helmets on the other hand only started to have minifigs this year, so that is inconsistent with what came before, but it may also be a LOTR & F1-specific decision. Personally, I wouldn‘t mind if future helmets all came with minifigs

They're one of my favorite legions it's truly impressive that they have a battle pack on shelves, perennially 20% off, and yet I have almost no interest in getting one. $45 base price when the last "super" pack had more stuff for $30 will do that to you, I guess.

To be honest there isn't a CRAZY amount of 18+ stuff this year- I wouldn't pin the issue on these two sets. Not that the Yoda in particular doesn't have other issues.

You lost me on this one- is it because he's a Morro fan and that's a similar character archtype?

I do like this. I always assumed the Jawas simply stole the hardware they needed, but they can have multiple irons in the fire. I guarantee you they're also scamming the empire, the hutts, etc- I could see three jawas in a trenchcoat walking into a garrison outpost, introducing themselves as John Imperial (Via a protocol droid vocoder or something), and asking for the resources to continue their vital work hunting the rebels. And they're 100% selling Jabba defunct droids they pass off as brand new.

Yup. If anything there's precedent FOR them to include minifigures, as the marvel ones had them.

Yeah I'm not sure how this is a thing to complain about at all. Even if you have the "inconsistency" of this year's helmets having minifigures (is it inconsistent if it's a single change across the board? I'm not sure that really fits the connotation), isn't it a good thing?

I have not been exactly in the greatest... condition to write in here, but I did anyways and it kinda showed. So my posting comes across more negative than it was meant to be. It sure enough reads like a "damn if you do, damn if you don't" or "this is why we can't have nicd things" kinda way. So to clarify, Lego finally adding more minifigs to 18+ sets is obviously good thing. Of course, it would have been nice if they were doing this sooner for 18+ sub-themes in general. Especially when you take these erigously expensive price points into consideration. Plus we already talked about their suspicious absence for the Starship Collection. I wasn't meant ro say flip-flopping either. You can't go back and fourth on something that was never there to begin with. No, it feels more like cherry picking to me. One thing gets it and it makes sense. The other doesn't get it and it doesn't makes sense. I got reminded by this annoyance and I stand by that. But yeah, they may be finally heading in the right direction.

Yep, releasing a full wave of BS sets, while also crank out your usual dose of 18+ and buildable stuff, makes up for a crazy combination. Imagine if someone isn't that big on Mando... what's in it for them? So far, without the shadow of a doubt, 2026 is worse for me than oast year.

I meant the inconsistency for 18+ sets as a whole. Everything is aggressively priced aimed at people who are supposed to have the disposable income to afford it. So it's not unreasonable to expect everything to include at least a single minifigure. Helmets across multiple licensed themes should have them. Like there's no good reason why TLOTR can have them and SW doesn't. Again, the former instantly included a single fig can be considered a step in the right direction. Every set that is part of the Diorama Collection, regardless of their represented scale, should have them. The Starship Collection should definitely feature them across the board. UCS sets obviously have at least a pair included for the longest time. Now the fact Busts have them right from the start may be a good sign for things to come. And if not, I at least want Lego to come out and explain to me why they're so freaking greedy and don't give people a little treat in exchange for much of their hard earned money!

[brimbolet]

Hahaha... what nonsense is this. 50$ for the Vader bust - just madness - for 130$ you get a complete buildable Iron Man ! Pretty sure everybody in the targeted 18+ audience has already a Vader minifig.

Lego should have made a Darth Malgus or Darth Plageius bust + minifig.

John Lego: „Hmmm, who should I pick for the first SW busts in the new subtheme: one of the most well-known and popular villains in cinematic history, a villain from a 20 year old non-canon game, or a villain that is best known for getting murdered in his sleep, a 5 second cameo in a disliked show, and a somewhat popular yet semi-obscure Legends book?“ Yeah, tough decision

Throwing Malgus in a set like that also defeats the point of the anniversary figures

I think including a Minifigure in these types of sets benefits the casual buyers, but for hardcore collectors it's pretty pointless. Although sets like the Invisible hand and Home One could've given us some cool figures.

That's fascinating. I feel like it's completely the other way around. Casual fans, especially those who don't typically buy Lego, may see a cool looking ship they remember from their childhood and impulse buy it as a cool looking display piece. Whereas a hardcore collector, who is actually into both bricks and source material, may want or expects something more out of it. The average guys and girls wouldn't care or even notice the lack of a, say, Shmi Skywalker minifig in the Mos Espa Podrace Diorama. A hardcore fan or collector probably would. Unless you define a "hardcore collector" only or primarily by his desire for actual sets, rather than wanting cool exclusive minifigures as well. 

[Meaf]

I cannot remember the last time I saw a Star Wars set as ugly as that Yoda .
