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?

I used to own 2012. But it broke and I lost many of the pieces. The new one is definitely an upgrade. And it’s the closest thing we’re going to get to a Rogue One set this year.

What imperial ones? Take away Smart Play and it’s really only the AT AT and Shuttle.

Someone will of course have to go check on @CloneCommando99 after the news that the TIE avenger will be the first midi-scale Smart Brick set, though.

It’s an abomination but I guess it’s better than nothing. Especially if it plays Niamos. (Day #341)

I have mixed feelings on smart Lieutenant Krole being the only included minifig./s

Honestly I'm not a fan as I don't like that it rules out a system one anytime soon. 

Yeah, that was a weird choice.

Something that wasn't weird was the late leak of Paid Employee 1 joining the RTG sets. That Sheriff Fett minifigure is going to have CRAZY aura, and could have carried the set's figure selection, but Wildlife Conservationalist Bosssk, Droid Humanist IG-77, Denger with a new, long flowing hairpiece and zero head trauma, 5-LOM, etc all sound great. It's hilarious that the Zuckuss is just normal Zuckuss, but given how rare he is it's also a great move in my view.

Is the Sandcrawler real or is it April Fools?

looks a bit rough with many studs showing.

The sandcrawler looks solid, the grey is drab but we all knew that was coming, I think the appeal of that one is going to be determined by the side builds, play features, and the mudhorn.

It's nice having reviews up for the new wave, the Razorcrest is immaculate to me, I love it. The x-wing has grown on me, it's a solid design. The anzellan starship looks like one of those sets that you tell yourself is boring, but if you had it on your desk you would fiddle with it 500% more than the rest of your collection. It's an odd one for sure, I don't think it's a great display set but it looks fun to mess around with.

 

the RC is the only for sure buy for me at end of year, but I do want another ship to pair with it on the shelf and I am going to wait to see what we got leading into Starfighter waves next year to decide what will pair best with the RC. X-wing is my frontrunner at the moment.

I actually really love the Sandcrawler. Best set of the year for me so far by a lot. This will actually end up being my first sandcrawler ever. Can't wait for August!

Definitely real since it looks exactly like the sketch. It‘s a not fully-rendered prelim though, hence looking a bit rough

Imo it looks a bit outdated with all the studs showing but it is still one of the best sets this year. I hope the Offworld Jawa ends up as a magazine gift hehe

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.

A dead stop from last year's prequel characters, I meant to say. The minifigs you listed are legit. I mean, you mentioned Cad Bane... So what you're telling me is true. From my oh so biased point of view. Though I never understood the appeal of that Carson Teva dude, but that might be just me. In any case, I hope there's more to either completely new characters, brand new versions of known ones or those returning than we had so far. Otherwise it would be a fairly limited list for 2026.

Lego has what seems like an (un)healthy amount of special cases, I suppose.

A whole freaking decade in development?! And that's the best they came up with?! After all this time?! That's indeed some mighty unfortunate release timing for sure, then. But like I said, next year would have probably been even worse.

On 3/31/2026 at 11:10 PM, Kaijumeister said:

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.

Yep, I don't think I knew this before either. So no worries, Master Kaiju. 

Keep talking cynical to me all you want. I live and breathe this stuff on a daily basis. In this case, well yeah I'm aware why they've done it and likely will be doing it in the future. Yet that obviously doesn't prevent me from stating how ridiculously lame it is. Especially when we can only have a maximum of two Battle Packs per year these days.

Thankfully this doesn't rule out my white whale, that of course being a buildable 18+ Rebel Friend.

Phew, glad that can still be a thing, then. The Rebel Friend™ we made along the way!

With the sole exception of Luke's Landspeeder of course.

Of course. That's holy OT territory. It may be approximately twice as old as some of the PT stuff, but everybody and their mother showed their kids the thing that started it all. I thought it was too obvious, so I purposefully didn't mentioned it.

I am ecstatic that Lego are finally moving away from minifigure playsets entirely after this year, and committing their full efforts towards display pieces catered to a new generation of elite, prestigious consumers of a more refined taste. All the while, the integration of Smart Bricks into 18+ sets further propels their new product portfolio to new heights in the age of tech. The rebranding of ‘Genius Play’ is a subtle, yet powerful nod towards how these upcoming sets are again, only for fancy adult collectors.

In my opinion, the childishness of minifigures have been a blight on the Lego company’s product lineup since 1978. This has become all the more apparent since the Star Wars theme first debuted. I really don’t understand what they were thinking focusing on vehicles and locations from such a rich collection of media when static display pieces that are structurally impressive but offer little else are so much more elegant.

As a grown up with absolutely no misplaced insecurities about what a fancy adult I am, this new generation of Lego sets is exactly what I’ve always wanted. Something to proudly display my Star Wars fandom both in my home and elsewhere. Some of my highlights from the leaked 2027 set list include:

- Buildable Luke Skywalker’s Severed Hand

- Buildable Qimir’s Poncho

- Buildable Kyle Ren’s Interrogation Chair

- Microscale Senate Diorama

-  Starfield Mosaic

- Buildable Jedi: Survivor Logo (with Buildable EA Logo as a GWP)

- Buildable Jabba the Hutt

- UCS Anakin Skywalker’s Robotic Hand

Rated CG for Comedy Gold. Though I would like to add the following flavors to your already legendary list: 

• Buildable Scrapped Battlefront III Logo (including detailed history about cancelation and mismanagement)
• Buildable Severed Count Dooku's Head (including Count Dooku microfigure)
• Buildable Zam Wesell's Helmet (including Zam Wesell replica anniversary figure)
• Geonosis Arena Mosaic (including damn good price pro piece ratio)
• Microscale Dex's Diner Diorama Collection (including Obi-Wan Kenobi minifigure)
• Stinger Mantis Microfighter (including Cal Cestis poncho accesory)

I guess technically the female mauldalorian would also count, but yes, in general not as many new prequel characters. Though tbf the clones managed to get ahold of the only two non-mando playsets, so it's another case of one prequel faction exceeding at the cost of the others.

It does confuse me- the reviews show a number of issues that you would expect to be solved with that level of development time. I'm surprised it doesn't work the same way as Mario, but as Nintendo's notoriously protective of their IPs I wonder if their deal with them includes some stipulation that the specific digi-mario technology can only be used in partnership with nintendo.

Ok, hear me out, a Luke's Landspeeder battle pack that includes 2 farmboy Lukes and 2 332nd troopers. Best set of all time.

Yeah, I meant those. I guess the AT-RT also technically counts.

 

Yeah that Sandcrawler's going to be the set I buy this year (unless there's a full august wave- I would pick up Anakin's delta and maybe the ewok village). I probably will end up swapping out a few grey pieces to give it a patchwork pattern, but as-is it's accurate to the show and looks great. I'm glad the Jawas can see out the windscreen this time. The turret is absolutely absurd but you better believe it'll be staying on my model. The figures seem good- glad to see confirmation Kuill's finally in a system set, and they definitely went all-out on Mando's detailing.

[CloneCommando99]

Regarding recent news about 75458 being 18+ and those who fear it’s over:

“No. You are wrong. We will honor our fallen. Rebuild ourselves at any cost, and destroy those who thought they could extinguish us. We are TIE Avengers. We are without end.” (Day #342 of this campaign being *TITLE CARD*)

Carson is the cherry on top. But I will still wait for an Amazon sale.

Not an expert on Lego's development process, especially regarding technology, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was developed in collaboration with Nintendo (I feel like some of the press releases from back when they first announced the partnership might have implied that, but I may be misremembering). Nintendo is pretty into weird and experimental concepts like that (just look at Labo and Mario Kart Live), so it might be that Nintendo helped develop/fund the technology and because of that it's only allowed for use in Nintendo sets.

Absolute cinema  As long as by ‘micro figure’, you mean ‘2-3 studs stacked on top of each other’. Anything more than that and it will simply be too childish for me. I crave minimalistic subtlety.

I watched it in IMAX the other week and completely agree. It’s one of those movies that’s just genuinely well made AND leaves you smiling as you leave the cinema. I’m definitely picking up the Lego set too.

I think the Sandcrawler looks good and will definitely be buying it provided a mudhorn is indeed included. I’m not quite seeing where the huge piece count in comparison to the 2018 model is going, even with small pieces though. Wouldn’t mind Kuiil’s head mould being tackled again because the one from the UCS Razor Crest looks like when you paste an image into MS Word and then stretch it vertically.

On the topic of the Sandcrawler’s greyness, I think that’s something unavoidable given how many Mando-related vehicles are grey. I do think Lego maybe should have thought about introducing some playscale sets this year that are actually colourful (such as Cobb’s Speeder), because as it stands:

- AT-RT Attack: Grey with a white turret.

- Anzellan Starship: Grey.

- New Republic X-Wing: White (with some blue).

- Razor Crest: Grey (with some yellow).

- Sandcrawler: Grey.

- Imperial Shuttle: White.

- Imperial Remnant AT-AT: *Gasp* Grey.

This is why some summer sets based on Shadow Lord, Anakin’s Delta-7b, the Ewok Village etc. would genuinely help spruce up the fairly drab-looking selection of sets this year. It’s not the best look when the new Mandalorian and Grogu packaging is the only aspect of these sets with a decent amount of colour.

I haven't watched the new one yet, though I'm in mourning after finding out my boy Zack is gone. I have been waiting for him for literal years, I was hoping he'd get a spinoff show. First they severely reduce how awesome his part in the invincible war was, then they just retcon him out of existence.

It's not really an OT compatible one, but it is an imperial vehicle.

I'm seeing it tomorrow, very excited. Gosling's attitude towards fans and how it's not on us to watch, it's on the studios to make movies worth watching is one that gives me some real hope for Starfighter.

Yes, this is my guess as well. It might also be WHY there are such clear issues in some of these smart sets- the guys working on it might know that some specific tech from the mario thing COULD solve them, but they can't use them. And sometimes when you know a solution to a problem, it's hard to find another.

To be fair I don't think this is all that unique for a star wars wave.

I have read the main Invincible comics, but not the Tech Jacket solo. I get it’s annoying for those who have read it such as yourself. And I am very sorry that you’ve waited all these years for not. The Invincible war cut out was unjustified. Hopefully they make it up by having Zoe play a larger role in future seasons than in the comics. Trust me, I get it. This is how I feel every time they adapt John - Stoic McBland - Stewart with another GL’s story.

But ngl I am enjoying Zoe’s personality and dynamic with the team so far. It’s not a badly done gender swap per se. She’s a fun character. Even if she’s not as legendary as the original TJ.

 

Also buckle up. It’s a fantastic episode.

I like the new sandcrawler, the exposed studs give it a bit of a classic Lego feel imo. Wouldn't have minded if it was a little bigger but still, neat set nonetheless.

I just realised that this will be our 2nd consecutive year without a new normal dumb TIE variant releasing. A TIE Avenger would have really solved a lot of balancing problems. (Day #343)

This is the last I'll say before the Rancor eats me since this isn't even close to on topic, but:

I'd argue it's actually significantly worse than the GL story swaps, because at least with DC it's known that most of their adaptions aren't particularly close. It still sucks when it happens, but you kind of know going in that none of these movies or shows end up being very faithful to specific comic runs. Whereas Tech Jacket is without a doubt the biggest deviation from the comics so far. The only change that I think came close was Amber, but even that's not on the level. Maybe episode 4, but that was basically a filler episode that changes nothing.

The other thing is that Zack no longer being male actually changes things, and not as an objective improvement. It's not like making Rex greek, where he's the exact same guy, or the Ray/Rae swap, since Ray was background fodder so they essentially just added a new character who got to have her own arc. Tech Jacket has a few jokes that he can no longer make, including the running gag about his beard, and more importantly a storyline from his own comic doesn't work without changing another major tech jacket character from female to male (And there is a major story beat that means you can't just change Tech's orientation), and making her male removes a character arc for her. Erasing Zack was foolish and shortsighted at best- especially if, as has been rumored, they plan on making shows for the invincible shared universe comics-, but given the changes to and new dialogue in Tech's introductory scene, seems like they were actively antagonizing fans at worst.

As I said, it's not the first time they've damaged Tech Jacket- the weird bulbous-headed design is not a thing in the comics, and he also soloed 2 invincibles in the comics whereas in the show she only takes down one. But erasing Zack himself is for sure the biggest issue.

Kirkman also said he did it because Zack and Mark look too similar, which just seems like a ridiculous reason. I would make the argument that it's an artistic skill issue in the first place, but if you really have to make a dramatic change to Tech to do so, why not go with the look he has in some official art where he's got brown hair? Why not change his hairstyle? If you really can't figure it out, why not change his race, so he ends up looking dramatically different but still can go through all the same jokes and story beats? 

Between this, his only new-content episode of invincible being one of the weakest in the series, and his character assassination of any nuance left in Megatrona and Elita-One (Which, holy cow. Mustache-twirling cannibal megatron is at least something transformers often falls into, but Starscream Elita is insane. She already clashed with Optimus and Arcee over her more pragmatic, cold view of the war, but now she's essentially a villain. And Kirkman has created a situation where either Transformer God is on the cons' side or we're meant to think abandoning Earth to the decepticons is the right move) after taking over the transformers comic, honestly I think Kirkman just doesn't have the sauce anymore. He's lost the spark.

 

Probably, unless we want to count the early years where TIEs were blue and the falcon had bright red and blue accents.

The acting, at least, will be excellent. But Hail Mary's story comes from Andy Wier (who also wrote the martian) and Drew Goddard (who did netflix daredevil, by the way, but was not asked to return for Born Again).

That said, while I haven't heard of the writer at all or even recognize any of his work, I know Shawn Levy, and while I wouldn't call IM3 or DP&W cinema on the level of Hail Mary, they're fun movies. Which at the end of the day is all Starfighter needs to be.

 

I freely admit I cried twice during Hail Mary, which may be the only time I've done so in theatres. It was masterfully done. Can we get Weir to do a Star Wars? He's evidently clashing with Star Trek, so he's in prime position for us to snap him up. Let's try and get Goddard too.

I think you're right, and if true it is indeed a new recolor. Great news, especially is the first time it's a color other than light grey or black.

It'll definitely be better than the 2021 one, I think the real question is if it can beat the 2015 one.

Every set must be a geometric grey blob, even one of the only vehicles that isn't grey in the movies is now grey. By 2039 even all the minifigures in Star Wars sets will be grey triangles. The only pieces allowed to be other colours are the Smart Brick integration ones. 

People will still buy 78 of each though

Not a good writer either, both him and Levy are, even divorced from my personal opinions on their works, objectively very journeyman creatives. The only thing putting a slight wrinkle in that is Gosling being an executive producer, regardless of anyone's opinions when he's a producer it's usually at least an interesting film, which is perhaps the word least applicable to Levy and Tropper's works possible. But also he's one of like 8 producers on this films, could be a glorified vanity credit. Most big franchise films now are less writer or director lead nowadays to be fair, the committee of producers really are what govern them so who knows.

It feels like exposed studs are becoming a bit of a lost art in official sets honestly. Obviously it's more appropriate for something like a star fighter or the like to mostly be smooth just to make it look better/more accurate, but there's something to be said for a vehicle that's just covered in studs.

It’s no contest even in astronomical units  

I think I heard one of the hosts on a Couple of Brickheadz livecast recently say that Lego Star Wars is trying to cater more towards Star Wars fans than it is Lego Star Wars fans. It’s a pretty accurate view in my opinion. I mean, understandable wanting to bring in a wider consumer base but when it means displacing the heart and soul of the theme, it’s not so great.

Anyway, it’s April, and we are one month closer to the summer wave. Someone please start leaking some interesting information.

Just under two months to go until TMaG too. The marketing has convinced me this will at least be a fun popcorn flick, and I’m looking forward to it.

Also, given we can see parts of Kuill’s sled in that sandcrawler picture, it likely means we can expect a blurrg build too!
