I wish it wasn't the case, but I feel like the $100 set being a Mando on AT-RT statue is a lot more likely than Embo and Marrok being in the same set.

You mean Rotta and Embo?  Because if they ever release Marrok, it absolutely would be in the same set as Embo. He’s his pet, after all! That said, Marrok probably won’t have a big enough role in the movie to warrant a new wolf-like piece and a brick-built version would likely look pretty dinky

Pure anecdotal evidence, but my local Targets seem to be fully stocked on Smart Play sets - which is almost never the case for new SW releases.  Pretty much every set, even the ones that (in my opinion) are extremely overpriced (MTT or CTT last summer, for example) are cleaned out for at least a few weeks before they get a new shipment.  Unless these are flying off the shelves and being replenished immediately, they don't seem to be moving very quickly...

Curious what others have seen.  They've definitely put effort into the rollout of them, because they're either on endcaps or separate displays at each store I've seen - including displays near the front of the store in non-toy areas. 

It seemed like none of them had been sold yet at mine either. I can't blame people, looking at the boxes they seem pretty puny for the price.

I definitely see the maxifig Vader coming this year given the recent rumours of Santa Claus / Pokémon Trainer / Spider-Punk too. Embo and Marrok aren’t completely far-fetched either given Embo already has a toy via the Disney Store figure set too. 

I really hope so. I can understand shows like the Acolyte being seen as too risky to make toys on (even though a Qimir figure would be much appreciated), but a show based on Maul being ignored just seems odd.

Just quoting this part to keep the quote short but yes absolutely! Summer 2021 then introduced arm prints for Boba, Fennec, Echo etc. That Beskar Mando really did open the floodgates for better minifigure detailing in the theme.

I still think the Spider-Punk rumor feels far-fetched, unless it's just a normal spider-man who happens to include a mohawk and guitar in a set of accessories. He just seems like a weird variant for the first marvel maxifig, when the previous ones have been franchise/theme leads/mascots (spacemen, red-shirt-blue-pants, captain brickbeard, santa, harry and hermoine, Vader). Peter or Miles would seem more likely (Or Iron Man or Captain America or Hulk)

I think lego made the right choice with Acolyte between the show's reception, viewership, S2 cancellation, and my local ollies' being stuffed with the hasbro merch for it. But a Maul show? We don't have numbers yet, but fans seem to love it, and regardless of that, it's not an adult-skewing live-action series advertised with no recognizable characters. It's an animated series featuring Darth Maul and Mandalorians, some pretty marketable characters. Lego LOVES Maul. Mandalorians are the only faction besides clones to receive more than one battle pack since the sequels ended. The only thing I can think of is that the Year Of Mando was already planned out before they found out Maul was 2026, and with Mando already butting heads with their finally-complete-in-their-eyes smart sets, there just wasn't room.

I was thinking of the more prominent Marrok, still have Shadow Lord on the brain. Yes, Marrok (Anooba) would make sense along Embo, but like you said I doubt he'll be in a set at all.

It's a little concerning that nobody's got anecdotal evidence of them flying off the shelves. The Amazon sales data wasn't great in the US or UK either- not as bad as the anecdotal stuff we're seeing, but not good by any means.

I wonder what their profit margins are on these, and if highly publicized price reductions might help. Honestly, making the Advanced and X-wing loss leaders could have been wise.

So today there will be a Smart Brick promo where you can call a number and, if you are lucky, talk to Mark Hamill on the phone 

I wonder if this was planned long ago or they quickly came up with this to counter the bad reviews. Like, if talking to Luke would change one's opinion on the Smart Brick due to some Jedi mind trick. "This set buy you must."

I feel like that's got to be it, right? It is weird that they couldn't even fit in one, but with how packed this year is maybe they figured it'd be better to hold off until next year, or perhaps until another season comes out? Even then it's weird given that it's Maul and Mandos. I get that maybe they're still a little gunshy about doing sets for the cartoons but surely they're not stupid enough to blame the failure of the second BB set on the show's popularity, and not, you know, the ridiculous price for an already extremely niche vehicle?

Filoni is the right person to steer this ship, but MAN what’s with his wolf obsession? Commander Wolffe, Marrok (Anooba), loth-wolves, Shin Hati, Baylan Skoll, Marrok (First Brother), and finally Trapper Wolf I don’t usually mind it, but naming two separate characters that have nothing in common after the same mythological wolf is just plain silly. Yeah, repeating names is realistic in a sense, but come on, that was super unnecessary. Rant over.

See, I think even if they thought the Justifier's sales were poor because of bad batch... like you say, Shadow Lord is Maul and Mandos. 

We're allegedly getting one set later this year, right? Presumably the Aka'jor.

It sounds like a lot, but there's two factors that come in:

1. It's seven characters/groups out of hundreds he's made over decades. Listing them all out it seems like a lot, but if you list out every character/legion/group created for Filoni projects, they're a drop in the bucket.

2. I think at a certain point it stopped being him and started being his staff joking with him. If I remember right he didn't want Trapper Wolf to exist at all and the crew pushed him into it.

Marrok is frustrating, though. They could at least have spelled it differently. I assume everyone just forgot since "Embo's Pet" is a pretty obscure thing, but you'd think the story group would be plugging new names into wookiepedia before approving them.

This does scream desperation to me. Like I said yesterday, Lego usually just doesn’t bother with SW marketing for normal sets.

 

I am patiently waiting for the AT AT fig list. And perhaps a sketch?

Whether it's this year or next, we ARE getting Zam, which is great.

Yeah. It just feels like with how much time they had, they'd have figured more of this out. I wonder if "9 years" means moreso that they started 9 years ago, rather than worked on it for 9 continuous years. Maybe development was paused and recently restarted.

It really does, it may not be technically the most accurate in detailing but I think choosing to go studded rather than tiled gets the feel of the vehicle across better.

Yes, it will be glorious. Anticipation aside, I know I will be feeling extremely empty once this thing hit shelves and having built it myself. I was recently seeing a list of most overdue set remakes and what do you know... The Bounty Hunter Pursuit was at the very top. In terms of more requested set revivals, it will be very tough to top this one for the foreseeable future. Not that many yellow only minifigure heads left, I think. Are there even any besides Zam for Lego Star Wars? 

Definitely tend for the latter. I highly doubt this thing was in continuous development for this long. Feels more like they may have toyed with an idea a whole while back, putting it on ice several times, only to return to iterate on it every now and then.

Oh, I absolutely agree on this. While I see many great MOCs out there, more often than not I feel like they are designed just way too smooth around the edges. In isolation, it looks asthetically pleasing, but it doesn't look like Lego that much, if you know what I mean. But of course, the amount of smoothness needed depends on the source material in question. I mean, a Naboo Royal Starship, not that it ever gets made, would look ridiculous with all those exposed studs on the outside.

Yep, it truly was the culprit for reaching the next level as far as main character's printed details is concerned.

Definitely, but unfortunately it's also when we started seeing a downgrade in accuracy.

Yeah, that's fair, I guess. The modern style of armour design has been... divisive, to say the least. While beauty lies in the eye of the beholder and is highly subjective, some things are just objectively worse.

Why? He is a grown up man fully capable of making own decisions. Unless anyone is actually holding him at gunpoint, I don't exactly pity celebrities using their fame and status to make an extra buck or two for advertising stupid things like that.

It'd be nice to get a ton of stuff from this show, but given IIRC only one set's rumored, my guess is the Aka'jor. I would love a police speeder with Lawson and Two-Boots, a battle pack with the 2 Nightbrothers and 2 Blackout Mandos, etc, too, though.

Aldar Beedo, Gasgano, and EV-9D9 (not that the latter two used yellow heads to begin with) are the only others I can think of. I'll shout out the rebel engineer- he's been repeated in the 2017 A-wing, but not with that sick moustache.

The April Fool’s one you mean? Most likely made up as they wouldn’t put him, Marrok (Anooba), and Rotta in the same set. My guess would be in a set next year ^^

(Sidenote: Is that even the original Marrok? I thought he had died of old age by the time of the Aftermath novels, or is this another retcon? )

They’ve absolutely nailed the shaping of it! As much as I’ve had my fill of ‘grey vehicles from the Mandalorian’ this year, I wouldn’t mind seeing another attempt at a playscale N1 that’s smaller and more compact to capture the sleekness of it. I wonder if they’ll find a way to make an exclusive Mando variant for this UCS set as well.

Anyway, Day #…whatever it is of asking the leakers to give us some more information for the June-August sets. Things have been so dry lately.

I agree. I know a lot of folks dislike the amount of mando stuff this year, but I don't mind and I would love a downscaled N1 + homestead set to pair with the new Crest, or perhaps the N1 gets traded away to zeb and shows up in the Ahsoka show, that's my other guess for how it could show up in a set again.

Same- I never understood why the original set was so large. It's a ship that could easily be represented at $40-50.

That poor Lasat, cramped in an N-1 cockpit!

I assume either something happens to the N-1 or Mando just keeps both. He's got plenty of room on his driveway for a project car alongside his minivan.

A steak?!?! (I swear they're using that word so often intentionally, to the point it's undercutting some of Oliver's scenes.) I agree. A Smart police car or fire truck could have worked well, and by avoiding licensing fees the cost of the smart sets wouldn't feel so jarring.

 

Nobody seems to have brought this up yet, but it looks like the N-1's got a sizable amount of drumlacquer silver on it, which is pretty impressive. I was fully expecting this thing to be a mix of greys.

haha I forgot about legroom never mind then

Yeah I'm kind of hoping for a homestead + N1 playset. I was wondering if that could be the set they throw Embo in if there is some sort of showdown on the homestead

This is good news Mark. We can finally be TIE Avengers. This isn’t your theme, but we can be TIE Avengers. This is good news. You can be a TIE Avenger. You’ll live like a TIE Avenger. A set. (Day #350)

(Not even the worst undercut Oliver will face this season, but yeah it’s both funny and annoying at the same time. We are getting so spoiled on animation right now)
 

Smart Play Dagobah is already discounted on UK Amazon, likely due to its 50+ monthly sales. They really should have just started with a police car.

Vader’s TIE is now at 400+ sales in the last month on Amazon UK. X-Wing and AT ST at 200+, which is matching the U-Wing and TIE Bomber which have been out far longer and are past their heyday in sales. All other Smart Play range between 50+ and 100+.

It‘s quite funny when you think about it. They have fully revealed the One Piece and Jurassic World sets scheduled for August, but we have yet to:

• see official pictures of the N1 and Darksaber GWP scheduled for May;
• get descriptions of some of the August sets;
• learn what some sets actually are (like the $70 June set or the $100 M&G set);
• and confirm the full set list for August since some sets on the 2027 list are allegedly still supposed to be released this year  

Themes getting revealed earlier despite getting released later is not that uncommon (especially with licensed themes where the IP owner has a say in the matter as well), but having two August waves fully revealed and yet only two June sets is rather peculiar

That would make for an awesome set! I can imagine a hypothetical homestead being like Obi-Wan’s Hut from 2019, albeit a little bigger. I wonder if we’ll see the interior in the film?

I remember swinging the set like a battle-axe when I first built it, it was so unnecessarily large. I get designers are constrained to price points for each set but when these are for ships that should be smaller, they should add a side-build rather than unnecessarily bloat the main build. There needs to be an end to small and sleek ships being too large and large vehicles being too small in this theme.

I’m not surprised Vader’s TIE is the relatively best-selling SB set. It’s the cheapest set with a SB and the swooshability seems on point. Overall a flawed but fun looking set.

Yeah it’s weird that pictures of the Imperial Shuttle haven’t leaked out either, given it’s not a spoiler set.

It really is confusing! Have we ever been 2 months away from sets releasing in any theme without any idea of what the contents will actually be? I do remain hopeful at least a couple of sets from that list in January will make it through this year - the simultaneous lack of confirmation nor denial from leakers on the subject increases my optimism.

I wonder if waves for each theme releasing in the same month have their product photos and lifestyle images taken at the same time too. I would assume so given how expensive and logistically difficult it would be otherwise. If that is indeed the case then official images should already exist. Could be wrong though.

As a quick aside, but I am blown away by how good both waves of Lego One Piece have been. That is a playscale theme done right and Star Wars could learn a lesson or two from it. I truly do think this is an issue with the overall direction being prescribed for this theme rather than the designers who do the best they can.

I think Europe/Rest of the World is getting summer sets in June so that is why they are revealing now. And its just the US getting them in August.

Less than a week though till all the May the 4th starts reveal on 4/15.

Unfortunately, that‘s not the case for One Piece or Jurassic World, with both waves launching in August worldwide. Only Harry Potter is currently rumoured to be a June release in Europe and August in NA again after quite a few years of simultaneous releases.
