The “Hutt Droid” set has leaked! It’s one of the huge droids seen in the trailers, and it comes with Embo and his new companion Keibu!

It all makes sense now, I think its a cool playset. I am not the biggest fan of the mech build but star wars rarely gets a chance to do a big mech build, plus it has a door, and doors are iconic for Lego SW.

[TeufelHund]

Hutt droid set is pretty ordinary - underwhelming mech and a weird rock door build.

Unless you really want Embo & his dog it's an easy pass.

[Llewop]

Was this embo set known about rumor wise or did it just like sneak past everyone? Or were people not really hyped about this set and just never spoke about it? also when does it come out? Kind of disappointed with the advent calendar after last years droid themed one was hoping they’d continue the kind of theme, I know they are all figures from Mandolorian but the builds have gone back to ships whereas last year they all were connected to make a mini droid workshop which thought was clever. 
 

also filoni slipping in another wolf like creature that man is a bit obsessed. 

[Clone OPatra]

Love that we have a second SW-specific doggo, but that's about where my love for that set ends. It gives me vibes of that spider tank thing from the Mandalorian show - good figures, average forgettable set, bad price.

[CloneCommando99]

AC and Hutt Droid look great! Though I’m now left wondering how many sets actually include Mando and/or Grogu this year. I swear the only Movie set without either of them is the X-Wing.

 

Bring on the AT AT! Please! And please let the AT RT be a companion set to it so we don’t get another Mando and Grogu repeat.

[Tariq j]

The Hutt droid looks like a Boba Fett mech. The Embo figure and the dog look good.

The advent calendar looks awesome and a big upgrade from last years. I’d honestly buy it just for the IG droid!

I need that Embo and wolf to show up in a magazine. No way am I buying that set just for them at full price. And how weird is it that the Hutts build a droid that has the same color scheme as Boba Fett? Are they obsessed? 

Also, you all get to hear it first. EB's annual Star Wars Contest, May the 4th, is live! Come build to win some Lego.

And a picture of the AC is out there as well! IG-11 gets a moulded head!  The new piece will also be used for IG-88 in the UCS Executor, they say.

Nice 🙂.

Would be great to have the whole Droid-Gang in the UCS Executor.

[Yperio_Bricks]

Love the Offworld Jawa       I really hope the Jawa shows up in the magazine at some point. SInce it also comes with the Sandcrawler there should be plenty Jawas in production, right?!

Embo and Keibu look good, but the mech - yikes. Looks like hundreds of small and smallest leftover parts they found on the factory floor     

[Kaijumeister]

Embo and not-Marrok look really good! It’s so nice to see a new creature mould in this theme given their relative rarity. The reused Mando and Grogu were to be expected (nice touch that Grogu can ‘sabotage’ the guard droid just like in the trailers and TV spots), however adding a Mercenary Droid to this is a missed opportunity.

The build is fine, it fails to capture the ramshackle and gangly nature of the source material but it’s a good attempt. It’ll be funny having this and a big Boba Fett statue on shelves at the same time given the similarities in colour schemes, but I’m really glad to see a set that isn’t yet more grey. 

Given that the advent calendar has also been revealed and that’s a September release, I wish they’d just reveal the August sets already!

@Mandalorianknight Totally agree that it’s unwise pumping out multiple sets for every new piece of content, I just meant that one set per new media would be a good metric for Lego to try and hit, and naturally more than that if they have faith in whatever is coming out. As an example, they did one throwaway set based on Andor S1 with Ambush on Ferrix; a fantastic set both build and minifigure-wise. I wouldn’t mind that sort of approach with each game or show that releases - heck they can just make a set smaller and relegate it to a £35 price point or whatever if they don’t have too much faith in the source material, but at least they’d be trying.

Yes, it was first known as “unknown $50 M&G set” and then got the codename “Hutt Droid”

He sure likes wolves, but Anoobas were already introduced in TCW like 15 years ago. Embo had one named Marrok which has passed away around the time of RotJ according to the Aftermath books, and now he gets a new one named Keibu

The Hutt Droid set looks neat, very cool to get a new Embo fig. I am a little disappointed Rotta isn't in it though, it probably doesn't make sense within the context of the movie but unless I'm misremembering, this was the last M&G set we didn't know much about right? So it doesn't seem too likely we're getting a Rotta fig...

Fellow 2020 Razor Crest owners unite!  Curious if you're considering the new RC or not—I am ever so slightly, but purely for Zeb and the parts I can use to upgrade my current model.

I got hawt deal on the 2020 Razor Crest in the last few months actually. It was ~$25 for it, I got it in a $50 lot with AT-ST™ Walker 75153 (Rogue One AT-ST), #75301 Luke Skywalker’s X-Wing Fighter™, and some other minifigs. 

I'd say I'm perfectly satisfied with the 2020 version of the ship and not looking to get the new one. It would be a much bigger expense! I haven't watched Rebels and have no personal fondness for Zeb.

Yeah this is my personal goal for some kind of eventual display as well. I would like to have a few sets built and around, the rest deconstructed and in storage. (Of course, some of the older sets I have are rather resistant to being deconstructed and rebuilt [glares at 2007 MTT] so that's a problem I will have to solve.)

 

I think the Hutt Droid set looks neat, but it is (as always with Lego) a bit expensive-seeming to me. The droid looks like a nice toy to have your minifigures fight. As a kid I would have been happy to receive it, although it probably would not have been the first set I asked for.

The sets we knew about are now all accounted for, so unless there are some secret additional August sets that have managed to fly under everyone’s radar, this is it for this year  I’m expecting him to show up in a set next year.

Also, since the Sentry Droid is an August set, it can’t be that much longer before we see the @@!

Great collection. How do you even move there, without knocking everything down? 

My thoughts exactly. My clumsy feet would not simply walk into Lego Mordor.

He might be hidden in plain sight. The Sponge is the key to all of this.

Yup. There was a brief, beautiful month or so where it looked like Smart Play would be something that, while not what we wanted, didn't take away from the sets we'd normally get. And then leakers started saying the august wave was actually "a lot of" 2027 stuff.

I still hold out a bit of hope- "a lot of" and "literally all but one of the sets on the list" aren't exactly the same. But it's definitely a darned fool idealistic cruscade.

Well, it never was said to be the August wave, right? We just assumed as much. A pretty logical conclusion, of course. After all, we ever so rarely get to know so much stuff over a year in advance. It was obviously a controlled leak to smooth out the rough Smart Play edges. It's just they went to even greater lengths than we could have possibly known at the time. 

I actually don't at this point. I think what we already know is pretty much all we get. I'm always open to be pleasantly surprised, but as far as this Summer wave goes, I basically don't allow myself to be overly optimistic. 

17 hours ago, Swordy said:

Likely the worst offense about smart bricks to me. I remember listening to a Star Wars podcast (who are of the Kenner generation rather than LEGO) interviewing someone about Smart Play. The interviewee made the statement, "Well, add least Smart Play is adding to the portfolio as opposed to taking away." Immediately I thought, No, I got a bad feeling about this. Because shelf space is an issue; because the design and research into these sets are still a factor; factories around the world still have to produce these "smart" sets in addition to the others on the market. It makes a lot more sense that Smart Play would eat into this year's lineup. I still hold out hope for an adequate summer wave, but to say that Smart Play wouldn't take away from this year's lineup does, as you say, sound like a fever dream looking back.

Oh man, I had a bad feeling about "Smart Play" ever since we first heard about it. That might be the worst part of it all... how predictable all this stuff truly is. For this instance, it's not exactly a Jedi trait to see things before they happen. And no, it absolutely doesn't add anything of value whatsoever. It's neither collectible nor displayable. There's not a whole lot of playable going on either. It's a failed Frankenstein experiment on every conceivable level that I hope I never have to talk about again as early as next year.

Thank you! I’m very happy with how it’s going  There’s this little prank of sorts I like to play on victi… people that come over for the first time, unaware of the madness within  I start by showing them my Brickheadz collection and Ideas & Icons in the living room, letting them think this is my entire collection. Then I show them the small room with the video game sets, and then finally the big one with the movie and TV-based themes  

I don’t like to brag or anything, but it’s really fun to see the reactions!

Happy I stayed up to order the Sail Barge on the 4XVIP promotion, it is showing sold out in the US this morning.  Sucks for anyone trying to get the first and potentially only deal on that set.

We knew about it, it was the hutt and droid set. Same on the calendar.

TBF on this one, Embo's had wolf pets since the clone wars. This is from a previous example of his wolf obsession. (I'm not knocking it though wolves are cool.)

Speaking of voice acting, I find Two Boots voice VERY annoying, why didn't they make a droid with a nice suave voice. That's my only real knock against the show.

You have to hit a nice medium, yeah. Stuff like Duckbrick's room is cool in theory but makes it hard to actually focus on anything specific.

His voice is supposed to be somewhat annoying. He's meant to be a literal version of the "unthinking office drone" stereotype.

I was going to bring this up, because it is very funny. I think it's just meant to represent junk droid stuff, but the Hutts do love Boba, so you never know.

Awesome! Always love these, can't wait to check it out!

I could see that if, as you say, the set size changes based on how confident they are. I'm sure a small duel between Sol and the sith guy wouldn't have done poorly.

I hadn't thought about it being a purposeful leak, but that is likely. Part of me respects their marketing guys, but the other part of me wants to point out that had they done their set selection properly they wouldn't need to resort to such underhanded shadow marketing in the first place.

[Kaijumeister]

Given how early the ‘2027’ set list leaked out, is it reasonable to expect these could all be 1HY 2027 sets as opposed to summer ones? I can’t remember the last time we knew of sets 1.5 years in advance otherwise (barring the 2023 survey leak), plus I can see Lego wanting a big 50th anniversary wave for January instead of the usual tiny waves they do.

It was absurdly early either way, so it’s possible this is a new kind of leak. Usually our main source is retail listings, but these sound like they came from an inside source, hence the lack of set numbers. 

Or maybe someone stole a napkin from a pub in Billund on which the designers scribbled down some set ideas

As for the release dates: To me, a $180 set in the 1HY that’s not based on a new movie or show doesn’t sound plausible, so it could well be a mixture of 1HY and 2HY sets.

That's a very impressive collection - although I'm not too sure I can cope with Cloud City being stored like that!

I'm looking forward to seeing the UCS SSD following the Advent Calendar leak - IG-88 looks brilliant 

I'm guessing that the LEGO May 4th sales aren't going that well - I ordered the UCS TIE Fighter at around 3.30am and I've already received the shipping notification.  It's not the most exciting set but at around 25% off (using a discounted gift card) it seemed like a good opportunity to finally add one to my collection - especially as it's due to retire this year.

Ha, that's awesome. Don't think it has anything to do with bragging. Just a rather humorous way to show of your proud passion. Being quite familiar with the principle of pranks myself, I probably wouldn't be having it any other way.

Yes, exactly. A little better sense of forward thinking would have, well, gone a long way. But maybe they did think things through? Part of me still finds it odd they're releasing so many Smart Play sets all at once instead of just releasing a couple of them to see the reception. Are they overly confident internally or more like the exact opposite and just want to get rid of them after long development? But then again, these sets are only available in a selected few countries, giving away that impression of testing the waters.

Yeah, I  think a big chunk of the leaked list is spread across the first half of the year just like the last anniversary sets. Like I wouldn't be shocked to see the Bounty Hunter Pursuit Remake in March or something.

Smyths (UK) have added 75456 (Advent Calendar) and 75451 (Hutt Palace Sentry Droid Showdown) onto their website if you want to see some better quality images.
Both look quite decent and worth buying at a bit of a discount!

That's an impressive collection, I am stunned!

___________________

I agree with the general sentiment of the new Hutt droid mecha thing. The new SW dog mold in itself seems very interesting to me, and is enough to make me happy about the set. More new molds bring my own moc universe all the more alive.

The mecha then didn't really struck me as the most successful build. The color scheme is so irregular that it effectively hides the "eye" part, and as the thing really does not have a head, and apparently has three arms, it does not build up complete in the viewers mind. In this case, the all gray color scheme might have actually helped a little.

Embo seems very good, though.

Ps. I am not new on EuroBricks, I just cannot access my old account (Samppu) and since I had to make a new one, I might just as well change my nick to not be remiscient of my actual name.
