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+.

Agreed. Sandcrawler enthusiasts have been spoiled so far compared to everyone else.

You're fighting so you can watch every $70 starfighter around you retire! Think, Clonecommando! You'll outlast every fragile, insignificant build on these shelves. You'll live to see these sets yellow to dust and blow away! Every clone, and every mando you know will be retired! What will you have after 500 days?

(Are we? I might be getting spoiled by a different animated show that just wrapped up alongside it, but aside from the sky convo in ep5 and the more important fight scenes, there's a lot of floating pngs)

Pretty similar story over here, just with larger numbers all around. Nothing major to report. The two cheap(er) smart brick-included sets at 2k, the falcon at 1k, and the rest in the low hundreds. It might be worse as sales seem to have gone up for some other sets- the throne room, for instance, is lagging well behind the current sales of several older flagships such as the star destroyer and evil falcon. Jedi Training is at 100+ here, so it's getting BRUTALLY mogged. It's getting beaten by retired, upcharged sets.

UTINNI!

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.

That's quite a visual! I agree- Peli's workshop would have been a good side build, and since pit droids are normal bricks you could throw in a few of those guys too.

Yup. It's the cheapest entry point.

 

The buildable boba fett, which I totally forgot was coming out, will come with a new EPVI boba with all new prints and a cape. Glad they're giving him the attention he deserves. I don't like the buildables, but if this is on the quality of the Iron Man figure, I'll be sorely tempted. I'm a sucker for Boba- he was the OG Mandalorian, after all.

Thankfully Lego made the UCS N1 Starfighter the all gray version, we really don't get enough big gray ships. Maybe we can get an all gray Slave 1 next, wouldn't want too much color in the theme now would we?

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?

It could be done really well, especially if it forced the designers to downscale the N1 massively so there could be a hut and a pond+tree.

Yeah it looks a bit boring, some folks are saying its silver drum lacquer, I honestly can't tell I thought it was grey, guess we will see.

It looks to me more silver-y as well. If so, I think it's a good sign LEGO is trying to make more sets in that color. Perhaps this could lead to a Naboo Royal Starship :sweet:

Yup. The N-1 could really realistically be done for ~350 pcs/$40ish price point.

It's not the entire ship, but you can see there are definitely different tones of grey/silver on it, and not just LBG and DBG. The front fuselage especially has a metallic tint to it that only Drumlacquer has.

EDIT: As I was typing that, I saw the boxart image from LEGO. It's 100% Drumlacquer, it actually looks like there's more drumlacquer on the ship than LBG.

Boxart image confirms it, and I think you're dead-on here.

Definitely feels like a situation where people are complaining just to complain. People have been asking for lego to actually make these ships silver for ages, they finally do, and now you see a ton of comments about how it's not the TPM version... which we've known for many months- there was never a situation where we knew an N-1 was coming but didn't know it was Mando's. (Also... come on. Let's not pretend Mando isn't a lot more popular than TPM, especially with the UCS demo) This much drumlacquer on a silver ship is a huge win, and as others have said, the fact that so many parts are being produced in this color is good news for other silver ships.

It’s awesome how the polybags this year are far cooler than they need to be. Both the X1 and Razor Crest builds are a step above the usual standard.

I found an update for the Advanced only using the pieces in the set, which is just shifting all the outer wing bricks (the 2x2 cut plates and the 2x4 tiles) down one stud on the wing to cover the gaps. I'd assumed this wouldn't work because the 2x2s wouldn't be connected right, but I've been playing around with it and they don't come off- even tossing it on my floor, the wings break off at the connection to the cockpit before anything else breaks. It also has the advantage of locking the wings into position, making them symmetrical. My guess is that those 2x2 modified plates aren't allowed to connect on only one stud as a blanket rule, despite being secure enough in this specific set. Or I'm just overthinking it and they didn't try this setup.

Where’s the AT AT AT?

 

As for TIE Avenger news:

look-at-the-time-nothing-clock.gif

So let’s hope there’s something soon. (Day #351)

 

All these leaks and nothing on the SW June wave. I’m flabbergasted that we still know next to nothing about either of the set numbers.

Yeah, kinda weird, especially when we already know about the August sets (one of which we‘ve even seen prelims of) and the UCS SSD 2.0 scheduled for October.

The mystery surrounding the $70 set is particularly strange since it‘s not rumoured to be a M&G tie-in, and even if it was, how come the June sets are more worthy of secrecy than the August ones?! :laugh_hard:

Mando isn't more popular with the UCS demo though. Look how poorly the UCS Razor crest sold, which was an objectively great model sold poorly because it's not popular enough. You guys always complain about too many Clone Wars sets, yet are fine with tons of Mando sets (even ignoring the movie sets). Many of us have Mandalorian fatigue and would have preferred the far superior and iconic Yellow and Silver N1. The drumlacquer is definitely nice though.

Ironically, the B1 probably could use an update- I wouldn't mind separated legs.

My hope is going to be that at least one of them is Shadow Lord based.

The crest had plenty of issues, including the price, fact that it exploded before the set released, and, of course, the fact that it was LBG instead of silver.

 I frequently include in my posts how frustrating it is that mando's gobbled up all the system sets this year, even including direct comparisons to how clone-focused stuff's been the last few years.

i wouldn’t say the B1 needs an update. It’s too spindly to have separated legs imo. But each to their own.

I do hope that Shadow Lord does get sets at some point but….

My money's still on a Maul Shadow Lord set. Would explain the secrecy to some degree, and why the leakers were (initially) confident about there being a set this year :shrug_oh_well: It could still be the maxifig Vader as stated before, but the price would be pretty low for that, and it's not guaranteed the maxifig will actually have a 75xxx number. Sure, the Harry & Hermione ones who started it all in 2021 did have a regular HP set number, but none of the others since have. Then again, they weren't licensed, so maybe it will after all? I mean, the Gingerbread AT-AT also didn't have the usual 75xxx number and I see it more as a special sort of meta / out-of-universe set like that, as opposed to a more "realistic" buildable figure like the upcoming Boba.

It is mando based, probably from season 1 finale, set 75461

Drumlacquer is amazing, now i can hope beyond hope that Lego might have plans for a downsized Drumlacquer N1 playset in the future.

Age ratings aside (with the former being targeted towards kids and the latter being 18+), do buildable figures and statues count as the same category? I guess they don’t, but so far we’re potentially looking at a whopping five of them this year with BB-8, Grogu (Mandalorian Apprentice), Boba Fett, and potentially a June buildable and the Vader maxifig.

I’m trying to keep my excitement low for the unknown June sets given one is supposedly more 18+ filler and the other seems to be a buildable, but I’m still hopeful to be proven wrong.

I totally understand Lego wanting to capitalise on TMaG given it’s the first Star Wars film in theatres in almost 7 years, but even during the heyday of the sequel trilogy they still made an effort to at least try and cover most eras of Star Wars at the time even if it may have been via broad strokes. I don’t understand placing the majority of their eggs in one basket by going all in on Mando content.

I’m not writing off the year yet, there’s still plenty of ways that 2026 can still be a net positive for the theme:

- Good executions of the Sandcrawler, Imperial Shuttle, Remnant AT-AT, and remaining TMaG sets that are actually more interesting (and hopefully a little less grey) after what’s predominantly been a lacklustre first wave for the film.

- One solid set for Maul: Shadow Lord. A set with the same build and minifigure quality as the Scythe from a few years ago would be the best case scenario.

- 1-2 good sets from the 2026/27 list that leaked in January. Personally I’m hoping for Anakin’s Delta-7B (cheap and covers the prequel era) and either the Luke vs. Vader Bespin Duel or Ewok Village (however we’re getting enough large sets this year which makes more large sets unlikely).

I still think it’s one of the most hilarious yet disappointing plot twists we’ve had in a while having seen the list that leaked in January, only to subsequently be told we may not actually get any of it this year after the hype had couple of solid weeks to marinate.

Yup. I do think it was a tough situation for them where they probably weren't planning on the Mando year and Smart stuff being ready at the same time, but they still could have thrown some variety into january or june. And the two eggs currently outside the basket are clones... aside from the whole wave of smart sets.

Oh yeah, the Sandcrawler, Shuttle, and AT-AT could all be great. Off what I've seen of the Sandcrawler I'd already call it the year's standout.

I'm really hoping we get a solid Aka'jor. The trickier part for me is who they'd include. I feel like most likely it's Maul, Devon, and an inqusitor or two, but I really hope we get Rook and Lawson. Two-boots, Maul's bros, and the blackout mandos have a 0% chance unless we get multiple sets, but they would be awesome as well.

I think we could see as many as four of them, if we remember all the leaker said was "a lot of", which doesn't even neccesarily mean a majority. And a number of them are clearly 2027 sets, like the posters, icons (and in my opinion Yoda and Maxifig Vader)

That's part of why I want a new one- I think they're a little spindly for lego figures and should resemble ninjago skeletons more. I know I'm totally in the minority on that one, though.

I still think January or March 2027 is your best chance, but hey, no harm hoping... except for losing hope when it ends up being a buildable clone trooper (From Mando S3)

Gotta remember to season them with SeaSalt

I'm really confused about the summer wave, we know some sets but is there many we still don't know ? Strange how we haven't got much info on them

Unclear. Numbers-wise, with what we know, we are in the usual range of 30-35 sets a year. As others have pointed out though, movie years tended to have a couple more sets in the sequel era, but we don‘t know if that pattern still holds in the current climate.

Some don‘t count the Smart Bricks as regular sets as they aren‘t available everywhere (yet), but that is a bit of a flimsy argument to me.

The only thing pointing at more sets still coming is the statement that „most“ sets on the 2027 list do come out next year, implying there are few that might still be on the table, but no confirmation either way yet. The Vader maxifig could be among them and might be 75458, even though that one is allegedly 18+, unlike previous maxifigs, and wouldn‘t really fit the price point either.

The yellow clone with the printed pauldron will soon come with the LSW magazin. The date is different from country to country though. In Germany we'll get the Commando Droid this month - which seems a bit pricey for a €5,99 magazine. Unless we'll get two droids in one bag, but I doubt it.

I really hope that it is part of the 40xxx we don’t need more Buildable characters taking up our normal set slots as it is, regardless of whether 75458 is a TIE Avenger or not. (Day #353)

 

Another day of waiting for the AT AT fig list/ details.

Hear hear. All I can think is that the sales data somehow points to buildable characters and 18+ sets being significantly successful. To me that makes more sense than the LSW Team sitting in Billund, looking at all of the interesting and relevant things that could be made into some pretty awesome sets, and thinking, ‘nah we’d rather do buildables instead’.

…It’d be depressing if buildables and 18+ sets are more popular or on parity with playscale sets in terms of desirability though.

Any particular hopes for the AT-AT? I’d love to see a new mould for the Snowtrooper helmet but beyond that, can’t think of much that would make for an interesting minifigure selection based on what we know of the film so far.

I concur, it’s wishful thinking to hope the Smart Play sets occupy their own subline when they’re pretty clearly intended to be a part of the main Lego Star Wars lineup.

That’s a good point, completely banking on the Mando and the Smart Brick sets to essentially carry the whole year is a bold move - considering reception towards both types of sets so far.

Agreed. I hope the Sandcrawler sets a precedent for similar sets in the future with larger piece counts and a more comprehensive ‘play experience’. I love how it doesn’t just include the main vehicle but the Mudhorn and Kuiil’s sled (with a Blurrg?) too. It’s a refreshing change from a lot of Star Wars sets trying to get away with providing as little as possible for what you pay.

I’d be so down for a new B1 mould that provides a little more articulation. Some Lego moulds and designs do indeed stand the test of time even decades into their lifespan, but the B1 battle droid does not. The figure is far too spindly. What’s funny is the head and arms are largely fine, but a new body piece that can accommodate independently attached legs would be awesome.

I don’t know about that. The BDs are already flimsy as hell, and separate legs would make it significantly worse. Also, you couldn’t pose them any different than you can now, unless you place them on a plate :tongue:

Oh I was definitely thinking a thicker leg piece rather than the existing battle droid legs effectively split in two. Something like the skeleton leg piece maybe. Skeleton minifigures can at least be posed like they’re running right? Unless I’m mistaken. I doubt there’ll be a B1 mould change anytime soon anyway.

Whilst we’re on the subject, it would be cool to see a new approach towards lightsabers too. Even a new piece to represent them being swung like the weapons from the Ninjago duel sets a few years back would be awesome. I get that if something isn’t broken, it doesn’t need fixing, but after 27 years I wouldn’t mind seeing the Lego Star Wars team try something new with lightsabers.
