I think it's good for kids, not so much to get pilot luke specifically, but as a cheap little toy with a major character and an X-wing representation.

You say that, but there's the counterexample of said extraordinary Plo Koon drop. Occasionally lego does the "desired character in an expensive set and then in a cheap one shortly after" strategy (Which I generally don't have a problem with, so long as it doesn't take too long to get that cheap one.), but they aren't opposed to putting heavily requested characters in cheap or mid-range sets either.

It did, which makes it all the more confusing that lego doesn't seem to think battle packs for characters other than clones and mandos can sell. That snowtrooper pack did numbers. I think it's the lego set I personally own the most copies of, using it to eventually fill my AT-AT and construct a pretty big chunk of hoth terrain around it.

Yeah, it's definitely a much better deal than the Smart Play Jetski that looks like a failed Frankenstein 4+ experiment. I'm not exactly opposed to new people getting good stuff at small prices. I mean, we all have been there before. I too appreciated getting a, say,  standard Episode IV Han Solo in the Millennium Falcon Microfighter when everyone and their mother probably had half a dozen already. It's just the more and longer you have been involved collecting Lego, the more you start to see the conflicting interests between newcomers and more seasoned fans of the theme. 

Having just mentioned Plo Koon myself, I'm aware of the irony. But for some reason, maybe because he isn't a main character, I look at this one differently compared to Count Dooku. Other than that, I already implied Lego's habit to include sought after minifigs in mid-ranged sets, hence the ~60 bucks price point. Look no further than last year's V-19. And I'm fine with this practice as well. For the same timing reason you just stated. 

I don't know if it's a case of Lego necessarily thinking everything beyond Clones and Mandos can't sell as well or at all. It might be more like them taking the safest route possible. So in  the end, they will all probably sell pretty well, but Clones/Mandos just have that slight extra edge to them. Prompting Lego to prioritize and pump out even more of those.

- The identity of the mystery $70 set. I really hope this is a Shadow Lord tie-in. As much as leakers have dashed our hopes at the show getting representation this year, I don’t know how there can be a new show with Maul, Inquisitors, Jedi, and TK Troopers only for Lego to turn their noses up at it and pummel us with more Mandalorian sets instead (again, there is not a single Dumb Play set this year that we know of that contains lightsaber wielders!).

You know, I said to myself the same thing when Tales of the Jedi/Empire/Underworld released and got absolutely no set coverage whatsoever. At least in terms of getting brand new characters or new versions of existing ones, there were so many possibilities. But since Disney won't be releasing all episodes at once for  Shadow Lord, Lego might be thinking different about representation and gives it at least a single set slot.

Am I the only one who doesn't care about leaks that much? It's cool when we get some info and pictures but I don't really find myself anticipating them.

While I don't think anyone is ever truly "the only one" for anything, you at least might be in the minority in here. More leaks mean more topics to talk about. Otherwise conversations could be much more repetitive. Especially if Lego returns to a less scattered release schedule. Imagine basically having something to chat about only once per season or so. And yeah, I'm aware Eurobricks consists of more than just Lego Star Wars.

Kinda crazy, but thinking back to the 2007-2014 era, that‘s exactly what it was like. We got rumours and set catalogue leaks for the 1HY sets in late summer/early autumn, then rumours for the 2HY sets, followed by catalogue leaks in December/January, and then the toy fair coverage in January and February where everything for the whole year was revealed (with a few exceptions like the Hobbit sets). And since D2C sets were super rare, that was pretty much it for the rest of the year. In essence, there was virtually nothing new to talk about between February and August 

The death of the toy fair coverage gave birth to discussions throughout the whole year, which is vastly preferable looking back ^^ I love always having something to discuss!

Zero Company set (most unlikely, but if any new videogame would get a set from modern Lego, it would be the Clone wars)

Can't wait for the game! The hero ship looks like a fat Razor Crest, it even has similar yellow accents. Could be a fun MOC project to modify the M&G set. Meanwhile Lego will probably do a Jabba bust instead.

Guys, our TIE Avenger dreams might be cooked. Again. According to Stonewars, the $70 set is 18+

[Kaijumeister]

Ah great! I was worried they’d actually base the set on something interesting.

Day #339 of going down a path sane people can’t follow.

uj/ Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?! WE HAVE TOO MANY 18+ SETS AS IT IS!! IS LEGO INTENTIONALLY TRYING TO ISOLATE MARKETS?!

 

My one hope if it is a 18+ set is that it’s a ISD bridge diorama.

But now all hope resides in the AT AT

That is how it goes, yeah. It's why so many people complain about X-wings and TIE fighters. It's why you still get people saying we don't need a new OT falcon or TIE Advanced.

Yeah. At the end of the day not everyone can be in a microfighter, and with how few battle packs we get we certainly can't be filling those with named characters, so mid-range sets including these characters, is, like you say, a fine practice.

True to an extent, but when all we get is clones and mandos, you have to think they believe that's all that sells, otherwise you'd imagine they would slide an imperial or rebel one into the rotation to prevent oversaturation. It's absurd that we live in a world where the 327th specifically have been in battle packs TWICE since the last OT imperial pack.

Yup.

Yeah, I think that's pretty clear. Lego is bridging sets into 3 catagories: sets for younger kids (smart sets, small gimmick sets), expensive, minifig-focused clone trooper sets for hardcore collector Tfols and Afols, and 18+ sets for non-AFOL adults. I think this is an error that will kill playscale and I'm hoping they realize it before it's too late.

I'm still holding out hope for a full chunky august wave.

Not surprising but definitely disappointed. Would've been great to get a non-Mando playset at that price point but I guess it was too good to be true.

This is presumably 75458, releasing in June correct?

Correct! Maybe it‘s a Mando-based helmet, like the Armourer‘s or Moff Gideon‘s? ^^ Or a Snowtrooper‘s as a movie tie-in.

[Lordhelmet]

Good to see the tie avenger support is still strong.

18+ sets are good but i stand by the argument that balance is better for these

Mando and grogu have been in too many sets the past five years for this wave to all have them again (would’ve nice if more emphasized other characters without including mando and grogu)

what are we thinking May the 4th will be like this year?  I am hoping for a discount on the sail barge (also if they had one on the Death Star I’ll be spending way too much)

Honestly I don't think this year's 18+/statue offerings are all that suffocating. What is it this year, six total sets? In a normal year I think that wouldn't be all that bad, it's just that all our playsets this year are mando/smart/a few clones.

Yup. I'm glad we're getting some movie tie-ins, but I think in a year where it seems like smart sets may have eaten a good chunk of our system sets, filling the playset slots with mando tie ins was probably not wise. (And I say this as someone who loves mandalorians as a faction, but I mean... it's one guy. Honestly I don't even think I'd put him in my top 3 mandalorians)

They barely had any sales last black friday, I'm not going to get my hopes up for anything beyond some double points and 1-2 10-20% sales on some of the worse sellers.

Snowtrooper would be a good one, bonus points if they can detach the heat mask.

The piece count and some more details on the Imperial Remnant AT-AT. Amidst all the downscaling, I hope this set isn’t subjected to Lego’s weird new rule with aggressively cutting piece counts for large Star Wars sets below the 1000 piece mark. 

Don't know if you're aware by now, but Stonewars has it at 1453 pieces. Only the maker knows how many small parts will be included, but it at least seems to be a far cry from the Clone Tiny Tank and MTT.

Oh yeah, I can imagine. Never experienced these changing times  first hand with Lego but with another hobby of mine. 

Yes, I prefer how things have become too. Think the only downside of it being the lack of surprises here and there. But even then you can still be surprised for better or worse when some leakers can get wrong or outdated information.

Yup.

Yep, we were all (or still are) in this camp for quite some time, until we don't. Rinse and repeat. 

Yeah, unless some requested figures pop up in expensive UCS sets, chances are I will get the play scale sets they're included in. Of course, in case of the former, I'm happy to get it dirt cheap afterwards. So it works for me one way or the other. It's just a matter of getting overdue figures on a somewhat regular basis. Last year has been amazing for this. This year... it hit a dead end rather quickly. I hope it picks up again sooner rather than later. 

Well, we had the Death Trooper and Night Trooper Battle Pack last year. Obviously not OT based, but sure enough those are Imperials. The former may indicate yet another special case for Lego. And the absolute absurdity of receiving two 332nd Battle Packs within just two and a half years, without getting any OT representation in between, can't be overstated.

Personally, it will be a no-show this time around. There will be no new exciting new sets available for the occasion. While the sets I still need to catch up to, primarily the MTT, I will not drastically overpay in the Lego store. It's just not worth it considering the high threshold. And especially not without some neat minifigure(s) for the GWP. So yeah, it will be an easy skip for me this year.

I think it's more like the other way around. Was it wise to release all these Smart Play sets in the year of Mando & Grogu fame? Because there was never a way Lego wasn't trying to take full advantage of the latter. It's essentially their poster child as far as modern Star Wars goes. Nothing else comes close im terms of Disney+ set coverage. But then again, better to get rid most of your BS sets this year than next.

So far we've had Cobb, Cad, Zeb, Carson Teva, and debatably Pershing. Plus Kuill no longer being UCS exclusive. But whether the year overall has a good number of these will depend, like so much else, on whether or not there's a full august wave.

They're part of an imperial sub-faction, sure, but they aren't really swappable with your standard stormtrooper. And it's a case of lego making the set to tie into recent media (It seems like it was put in development pretty much right after the Ahsoka show released), so definitely a special case as you say.

IIRC Smart Play has been in development for about a decade- so it started development not only long before TMAG did, but potentially before even the Mandalorian show itself. It's just bad luck that they seem to have "finished" it to their satisfaction of releasing in the same year the first SW movie in 7 years was set to release.

Damn straight. (Day #340)

 

I kinda hope the AT AT is a complete companion set to the AT RT. That way we can get both the armoured commander, the leaked warlord and a decent complement of troopers. Similar to how there was no character overlap between the 327th BP and MTT last year.

 

So far the only SW set this year that’s a definite lock for me this year is the NR X-Wing. AT AT is a likely. But the shuttle, while intriguing, I’m sceptical on getting as I already own 2015.

 

 

 

Time to start praying 2028 will deliver.

Very true, although I still find it funny that Lego thought it imperative to release a 4+ Grogu, buildable Grogu, and Yoda bust all in the same year. Plus there’s the buildable Yoda supposedly coming next year too. I know each of those sets caters to different demographics, but still.

That’s awesome! I actually didn’t know that so thanks for the heads up.

This sounds very cynical of me but it’s so easy to either repack clones or just print them with yet another set of colours with minimal changes compared to putting some effort into battle packs to actually make them interesting. Seems like the lowest hanging fruit and that’s why we see so much of it.

Ditto, I was initially apathetic to the prospect of yet another AT-AT but the design is different enough to the regular one that I’m actually excited to see what it includes. I would absolutely love to see a new snowtrooper helmet mould without the environment filter, and I also hope that the minifigure lineup is more exciting than just Mando / Grogu / Warlord / AT-AT Drivers / Snowtroopers.

To be fair, a lot of the sets released in that 2026/27 list genuinely sound awesome. Whilst it would be great to see some of them this year, even if they are all 2027 sets then it’s a strong lineup for the most part.

I wouldn't have guessed the X-wing would be your choice over the imperial ones, do you not have a system X-wing yet?

Similar thing for me, though without the X-wing (I have the 2018 one and while it's not perfect- a little too big- I am waiting to see if we get a definitive Red 5 next year). But the AT-AT is likely for me- I'll probably get either that or the Sandcrawler depending on their builds. (I'm kind of inclined to hold out for the OT versions of both, but I think the AT-AT would be an easy mod and my Jawas won't be adhering to canon anyway (I'm keeping the mounted turret) so I don't really care if they're rocking military grey rather than canyon brown).

The 4+ and bust wouldn't have bothered me at all (I mean, in concept. The actual design of the bust does puzzle me), but what surprises me is the $130 buildable Grogu is surprising since just 1.5 years earlier we had a DIFFERENT large buildable grogu statue that at least anecdotally didn't seem to do all that well. And like you say there's another Yoda coming. Lego's gotta have some sales data that we're missing or something because we're getting more of these than we get X-wings.

The thing is, not only do some of these clones include new molds (galactic marines, pauldrons, etc),  but I can't imagine the graphic designers' salary/workload would lower all that much. I'm sure they're paid well, but it's not like the clones are literal color swaps, and I can't imagine the clone sets we get allow them to hire fewer designers. I imagine at the end of the day the reason we get so many of these is because lego thinks they sell the best. Whether or not that remains true at this level of saturation is another question.

Ya last year was disappointing.  I know the gwp was good but I sold mine, I think I picked up the u wing and some smaller sets for my kids then because there were not any good sales.  Hoping this year is different and we see double points on everything, and as I mentioned hoping for the ucs sail barge to go on sale.

If the gwp is the dark saber I am a little bummed, the last few gwps have been really good.  Sales are not great, but I still go to pick up sets for my kids even if I don’t buy anything.  My kids tried out the smart play sets in the store (and enjoyed them) but are still asking for regular sets so we will see.  (My youngest wants the cantina even if it does t have a smart brick)

I pre ordered the x-wing (had a crazy good promotion where I got $60 for spending $100 at Lego). I also got the starship AT-AT.  I’m interested in the AT-AT and the shuttle but am only a maybe as I don’t want more grogus and mandos.  I do like zeb (but not the set), and the Vader bust is cooler than I thought it would be.  Most likely I have bought the only sets coming out this year that I will purchase (unless I decide to grab the Vader bust if it’s on sale as an impulse buy)

they should have done a tie avenger
