@Mandalorianknight, I'd choose the extra-light gray for accurate X-wings, Snowspeeders, and Imperial shuttles.

I concur. And it’s why I find Lucafilm / Disney’s enthusiastic participation at the CES press conference all the more funny. All that corporate monologuing despite not allowing Lego to actually use a lot of licensed music / sound.

And yeah man, grateful that these sets aren’t clogging up normal set slots. I can’t wait for more detail on the content of the summer sets.

Haha, this is what I would like to call an embarrassment of riches. 

Word. Can't wait for more concrete infos either, man. We will get our Count Dooku minifigure. In his life or the next.

Feeling the need to chime in here because more people need to realise how this all works. Controlled leaks work wonders in politics and in Hollywood (anybody remember makingstarwars?), why wouldn't it work for LEGO too?

They've been doing it for a long time.

Hello there. Yes, of course. The only difference is that I can't remember the emotional contrast being ever this big.

Alright. As I promised many moons ago. And since we now have public images, we’re doing a sequel. We’re back by popular demand (maybe):

Awesome. You even seem to remember everyone's role; you keep track of that or something? 

1 hour ago, MKJoshA said:

Fixed it for you. Just kidding, but with some of the fig line-up I wouldn't put it past Lego to do something like that.

Not yet. Three minifigs are reserved for all these $80 sets. But I wouldn't bet on Lego keeping it that way forever either.

Newly rumored:

75460 X-Wing Starfighter Based on The Mandalorian & Grogu June release

I guess they're throwing us grumpy old folk a bone with this, compared to the Smart Brick X-wing. We'll see if there's any substance to this rumor. If there is, I hope it'll be a more developed version of the excellent 2021 X-wing or even a return to the series of larger rubber-band X-wings that ended in 2020, or dare I imagine a minifig-scale X-wing with actual center-pivot wings? I don't think I could take another X-wing with click hinges for the wings.

Then again, this rumor could be all wrong and it's a buildable Zeb bust instead, or something.

You do know this also suggests that Lego doesn’t consider the Smart Play Tie  Advanced to take up a tie slot.

There’s still a chance!!!

Fingers crossed!! We don’t know if he’s in the movie though, so the set may come with Trapper Wolf instead, who is confirmed to appear. Wouldn’t say no to a Filoni minifig Also seems like a good set opportunity for Zeb and/or Ward!

I'm going to be an even grumpier (though possibly younger) folk and say I'd rather they waited until next year and then gave us a new Red Five for the anniversary, but as this confirms the smart sets won't use up our chances of getting "dumb" representations of the same vehicles around their release, I really can't complain.

Ah, but one thing was so useless it escaped even your memory- where's the fist of Khonshu John Walker mandoknight?

I know! Still a chance for a TIE ADVANCED! (I know, I know. This would be a good place for Jyn's "and the next chance, and the next, until the set slots are spent" quote)

 

But the confirmation that we can have smart and normal versions of the same set on shelves is massive. While I still don't like the concept of smart sets, it completely takes away any and all annoyance with lego for me. It can be something that's just not for me, and since it's not impacting the sets that are for me, I really can't complain. I'll still poke fun at it, but there's no legitimate grievance I have with them anymore.

I'm taking this Mando-movie X-wing rumor with a grain of salt for now, but if it's true there's hope for a new Snowspeeder and A-wing next year, notwithstanding the Smart Brick A-wing in the Throne Room set and the rumored Smart Brick Snowspeeder in an Echo Base set. I really hope so, because the Smart Brick A-wing is legit amazing except for being a little too small and having Smart stuff behind the windscreen instead of a proper fairing. Also, we desperately need a new Snowspeeder with the new windscreen. Just based on the nature of the vehicle, I expect the Smart Brick Landspeeder will be pretty easy to mod into a regular Landspeeder. It would a be a real monkey's paw moment for the Mando-movie X-wing to have the new Smart Brick X-wing's windscreen, but I don't think that's likely. The new element is pretty clearly designed to accomodate the packaging restrictions of the Smart Brick X-wing's build, rather than for general use. I daresay it's more likely to find future uses as an armor element in a Ninjago mech or in whatever comes after Dreamzzz than it is to be used in another starfighter.

That's great, me too. 

 

In regards of Anakin's Jedi Starfighter containing three figures, let alone Count Dooku, I wouldn't be too sure about it. While there have been plenty of other Jedi Starfighters getting this exact treatment lately, these have been up to double the price of what this set is apparently gonna be. Wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if it's just Anakin and R2 again. In any case, however, I do hope for him getting the General Kenobi treatment. Lego won't just recycle last year's Anakin figure from Ahsoka's Starfighter, would they? 

On another note, has anybody something to share regarding the last Lego Star Wars purchase in it's respective thread? I don't like doing double postings.

The Anakin in the interceptor is based of his Season 3 appearance right? So I’m hoping they would use his Season 1 attire (with the armour and everything) since I don’t think we’ve had an updated version of that since 2008.

We got him in the 2018 starfighter and that one still holds up as a decent figure but it's not in the proper dark blue/red colour scheme and doesn't have arm printing. Hopefully this new one will. 

Seen some people on R*ddit saying that the Imperial Shuttle is actually a Razor Crest- anyone else got more info on that from a reliable source? (This one is said to be set 75447, and the rumour with the Shuttle didn't give numbers as far as I know so maybe we get both?)

Also some mention of a Boba Fett set of some kind? (75455)

New x wing would like some alternate pilots.  Will be interesting with both on the shelves to see what my kids pick.

 

also the Death Star is out of stock in the US, been back ordered for a while but now out of stock.  Is that super popular or lack of production or both?

It should be, yeah. I know Ahsoka is. So Anakin is probably based on Season 3 as well. And yes, this is what I meant with "getting the General Kenobi treatment". It felt weirdly incomplete when they went all the way for Obi-Wan, while we only got a somewhat regular Anakin last year. Especially when you consider how overpriced that set truly was. But I am less worried about the arm printing and everything now. As getting much more detailed main characters in play sets is slowly but surely getting a thing for Lego. Just not too sure about a third figure in a supposedly $30 Jedi Starfighter.

That would make sense. Since getting an Imperial Shuttle, Razor Crest, AT-AT, Sandcrawler and Ewok Village might be a bit overkill on the flagship side of things? Not that I would complain, though. And weirder things have certainly happened... They are in fact happening right now with all that BS.

I dunno, purposeful leaks just don’t strike me as realistic  As soon as a licenser is involved, things get hairy. Wouldn’t they need to gain permission, leaving a potential paper trail? And all that effort just to see the reaction of the few people who even care about leaks in the first place? It’s not like they can still incorporate any feedback, and creating buzz for sets that are still 8 months away doesn’t make much sense either. Just my two cents

The only proven leak like that I can think of was the Deadpool test footage, courtesy of Ryan Reynolds himself. And that was a rogue maneuver!

Licensing partners are well aware of the game being played. For LEGO it's not about seeing our reactions, it's about making sure we have enough money saved to buy on release day. The number of people following this sort of thing across all platforms is not insignificant.

Today's X-Wing leak is a perfect example of the strategy. Random website gets a bunch of summer set names and prices, no images. If someone at LEGO didn't want them to publish that information, they wouldn't have sent it out in the first place. 

Ryan Reynolds leaking Deadpool test footage is an extreme example, he was trying to force the studio's hand. Any time you see an article from and industry publication like The Hollywood Reporter or Deadline saying "our sources have learned Matt Smith is in the new Star Wars movie" you're watching the game play out.

In (a very late) reply to the use of generic Cantina music:
Music licensing is a different ballgame than the typical character or vehicle licensing. John Williams’s music for “building block toys” may not be guaranteed like it is for the video games or the LSW-inspired movies.
I don’t like it, believe me, and it’s a baffling decision why the set continued development without that guarantee of the iconic jingle.

Somehow, there doesn't seem to be room for another Razor Crest in the latest round of rumors, does there? Some product manager at Lego is out of their gourd for not fast-tracking a new Razor Crest to shelves in time for the new movie.

Your cries have been heard, and the Razor Crest will be the new Tiny Tank of this summer.
I can’t believe TLG wouldn’t downscale the model if given the opportunity. They’ll use the old “better shaping” or “better stability” adage. Combine that with a potential Rotta the Hutt inclusion—where else would he go—and you have a justified downscale. Admittedly, that would make it better than the Tiny Tank, but in practice it’s still the same disappointment.

On 1/6/2026 at 5:30 PM, CloneCommando99 said:

Yeah. This is why I’m particularly hoping this shuttle is a Sentinel class. That way it’s a guaranteed upgrade from past versions at that price. Also would be nice to see the gantry properly represented at that price and a sizeable troop bay.

I can see that. I don’t know if I personally would be more excited for a Sentinel than Lambda in pure conception, but in execution I agree a Sentinel would be an undeniable upgrade.

I wasn’t excited for this until you said Teva. He’s definitely a character I’ve needed for the past five years, and while his X-Wing looks very similar to Luke’s, I might just buy it for his minifig alone.
While it could easily be just from the movie, this set could be based off any season of Mando, too—Chapter 6 with the prison breakout, Chapter 10 with Frog Lady, and Chapter 21 with the Mandalorian conclave all featured him in his X-Wing.

Glad you do. I’ve starting to take a liking toward my characterization as the mighty Thor—or Point Break, in your character’s words. It’s a true honour to be part of the TIE Avengers. (Additionally, your posters are true works of art. Many props.)

I don’t consider myself old just yet, but I will give you grumpy.
I’m in the camp of a more developed ‘21 X-Wing. I’ll give you that its weird that the S-Foils break up the main fuselage, but the use of rubber bands always seemed cheap, especially since they wear over an extended time.

12 hours ago, Mandalorianknight said:

Actually, for the X-wing I'm still on team white. Sorry. Though the best case scenario would be an implementation of a new color in between white and LBG.

 

On the topic of what color some of the OT ships should be, I've got an interesting question for everyone. What color would you most want added to lego's palette in regards to this theme, and for what application? You want accurate X-wings/snowspeeders/lambdas? You want Jango or Zam's cloth to be the right color?

Personally, I'd want a new green for Boba Fett. He's just objectively not sand green- if anything, he's closer to dark green, like they tend to use for his torso armor.

I’m of the same mind. My logic is that the models should always stand out from the background. So if the Death Star trench is LBG, then the X-Wings should be white (and TIEs should all be sand blue). If the snow is white (been a while since I checked), then the snowspeeder should be LBG.

I’d want sand red back for the Geonosis Battle Droids. ‘Twas a beautiful colour, and its a shame it was taken in favour of… dark azure and medium light blue. A new grey colour would be great, but I don’t know if that excites me as much as any of the sands. (I’m mostly of the MOC/modular mindset with my choices, to be fair.)
My other option would be violet blue, but somehow, that returned—a year late, no less. It’s a shame, too, because once you see Jango Fett’s undercloth as purplish, you can’t unsee it, and thus the otherwise splendid UCS figure is ruined in my eyes.

Do you mean his TBoBF armor? At first I thought you meant his armor from the OT too—for which I’d say sand green works perfectly. As for his repainted armor, it could’ve and should’ve been dark green in the first place, but that is too dark to accurately portray his look. My other vote would be regular green, since in my experience it looks darker irl than in renders.

True. My hope is that TLG saw the error of their ways and decided to reverse course, since $45 is way too much in any galaxy for two figs, a droid, and a detailed but small starfighter. Nonetheless,  rumors are but rumors.
That said, there was a recent quote from someone (I think Solid Brix Studios, but my memory is foggy) who had asked the LSW designers about Count Dooku specifically, and the response was that they want to put Dooku into a set but haven’t found opportunity. So that quote, the fact that Anakin and Dooku did duel multiple times in early CW seasons, and that Anakin’s master and Dooku’s apprentice already appeared last year, all add to our hopes.
I doubt it. It would only cause an uproar among the LEGO community. Additionally, I don’t recall Anakin in his S3 attire hoping into his Delta-7B.

I got you. However, I am a one-trick pony (i.e. I don’t purchase LSW items nearly enough), so you are out of luck after this.

It uses some really excellent techniques, but I think the engines still could use a bit of work. The ship is overall downsized a fair bit from the 2017 version, but has the same engine build.

I do think intentional leaks are a common thing, but stuff leaking or getting accidentally posted on retailer sites can often just be chalked up to an employee at one of those sites messing up. Retailers do have to get set information ahead of time.

The figure selection for Carson's X-wing definitely has potential- though ironically I'd rather have Trapper Wolf- most of which would just be a generic x-wing pilot- than any of the aliens or droids or hunters we could otherwise get.

In theory, maybe, and I know this is tragically true with many of the older bionicle sets, but we're 7.5 years into the lifespan of my 2018 X-wing and it's bands are still stiff. (Now, I'm not opening and closing it every day and swooshing it around, but for at least the last year it's been displayed with the S-foils active and the bands being stretched, so I think it's still valid)

Exactly (mostly- I'm fine with the TIES in either color scheme). The snowspeeders especially, given how clearly they contrast with the snow. I think they're inarguably LBG, even just looking at the databank entry image.

Sand Red is an excellent color, and it annoys me that we have sand blue, sand green, and arguably Sand Yellow (Bright Light Yellow in my view, although lego somehow calls Dark Tan sand yellow), but Sand Red wasn't allowed to live. I agree it needs to return.

Both- though the TBoBF armor is a bigger issue than the OT armor. For the OT armor, I think Sand Green is too bright. For the TBoBF armor, first, as you agree obviously Sand Green is an absurd choice and Dark Green throughout would have been closer, though still too dark too work. Regular Green might be the best of the 3, but looking at the mandalorian helmet from the 2020 battle pack, I think it's still way too vibrant.

Yeah, and we are yet to see whether this supposed course-correcting for Starfighters means we are back to two figures or not. I don't see them putting a desirable minifigure like Count Dooku in such a cheap set, but Lego is sorta unpredictable in that regard. I mean, they go through the trouble of making a brand new mould for a background character like Taun We and put her in a $35 Starfighter. In the next year, you only got Yoda and R2 in a similar build for the same price like nothing changed at all. In 2024 they released a slightly beefed up $40 Starfighter with two minifigs and a droid where you just assumed it was Jedi Bob tax. Last year, oh no it wasn't Bob tax after all, we are now at $45 for again two figs plus a droid and, like you said, a detailed, but still compact Starfighter. While the price gouging is sickening, the minifigure line-ups could be at least a little more consistent. 

Regarding Anakin's specific version, who really knows, right? I don't recall that later version of Anakin in his early Starfighter either. But Lego works in some mighty mysterious ways sometimes. As good as they are listening to fan feedback, especially when it comes to bringing back heavily requested characters the last couple of years, I will never forget them putting the Mustafar Obi-Wan in the Grievous Starfighter set. Same could happen for the TCW Season 3 appearance of Anakin, but I'm cautiously optimistic for this one. 

Oh, thank you, Swordy guy. You are my one time anti-double-posting saviour.

I think half the Lego store is on back order atm think it’s just recovering from the Christmas period. Maybe where they are doing so may licensed big sets they might have spread themselves to far to meet demand… 

for the past few years icons and other themes have been getting more and more big sets released constantly seems like we have new sets every month now and that must have some impact on the warehouse and production side of the business.

good news about the x wing will be at least we won’t get another f***ing red five Luke figure. As it’s new republic definitely be a new pilot, new astromech and probably Zeb and probably Mando as they will chuck him in any set :D it is his film after all

Well my LSW plans this year have gone from nothing to: X-Wing (maybe even 2 if good as if it’s NR colours it’s likely the closest we’ll ever get to blue squadron), AT AT, Imperial Shuttle, some pick a brick… The shuttle might be a Lego Exclusive according to LMG, so I’ll have to buy it straight from Lego, but the other sets I can wait for a sale on Amazon. 

That’s not even factoring in if there will be a Tie Avenger (Day #261) or a good imperial vs rebel or just imperial Battlepack. The latter of which I’d try to get at least 4 of.

Agreed, you have waited long enough, I, the monkey's paw, shall grant you ONE tie avenger...but it will be a smart play set, chronically undersized, at 592 pieces and retailing for 120 CAD/90 USD.

Lmaooo. With my luck that may actually happen.

15 hours ago, Mandalorianknight said:

I'm wondering this as well- and I still haven't been able to find any pictures of the in-universe craft anywhere. If it's getting a set I assume Mando and Grogu get in the ship at some point and therefore it'll have at least a little bit of room for normal minifigures, but it would be kind of fun to have an anzellen capital ship that actually fits the $70 price point due to how little they are. I mean, you could make escape pods out of the 2x2x2 crates!

I do hope that the AT-AT brings us a new stormtrooper helmet/mask setup. The ones in the trailer appear to have mcquarrie-style helmets with the heat masks being a separate element, so it would be cool if lego replicated that and we got something like a veers-type helmet with a neck attachment for the mask and goggles.

Hell Frikers launching their drop pods from the Custodian of Family Values?

Oh yeah. I hope they do. It would look great as one of my imperial remnant minifigs as you could say that the empire’s so low on resources that they have to use whatever kind of uniform they can get their hands on regardless of environment. And you can just say the scarf came off to make things less hot for the soldier. (Yes I know the scene is on a snow planet, but still.)

Though i wouldn’t be surprised if Lego just uses the normal Snowtrooper helmet.

I really hope M&G brings us an imperial remnant Battlepack this summer. Need something to garrison the shuttle and AT AT.

 

On the 50 shades of grey topic. I personally don’t mind X-Wings, imperial shuttles and Snowspeeders being inaccurately white in sets. The theme is full of grey ships anyway so it’s nice to maximise colour. (I know this is ironic coming from the guy who’s asking for a TIE Avenger)

It’ll likely have the blue and yellow NR colours if it’s a Adelfi X-Wing.

I can see that. I don’t know if I personally would be more excited for a Sentinel than Lambda in pure conception, but in execution I agree a Sentinel would be an undeniable upgrade.

I wasn’t excited for this until you said Teva. He’s definitely a character I’ve needed for the past five years, and while his X-Wing looks very similar to Luke’s, I might just buy it for his minifig alone.
While it could easily be just from the movie, this set could be based off any season of Mando, too—Chapter 6 with the prison breakout, Chapter 10 with Frog Lady, and Chapter 21 with the Mandalorian conclave all featured him in his X-Wing.

Glad you do. I’ve starting to take a liking toward my characterization as the mighty Thor—or Point Break, in your character’s words. It’s a true honour to be part of the TIE Avengers. (Additionally, your posters are true works of art. Many props.)

I’m in the camp of a more developed ‘21 X-Wing.

#Sentinel2026!!!!

It’s unconfirmed who’s X-Wing it is. (Probably Signourney Weaver’s) But with Carson’s large roll in Mando S1-3 it’d be a tragedy for it to not at least look like his X-Wing or for him to not show up in the movie.

Thank you.

Word. The more affordable for a decent size the better is my belief for X-Wings. You want kids to have a nice and cheap one to get into SW. Not an overpriced abomination like what’s happening in March. 2021 and even 2024 I consider to be two of the best X-Wings for that reason. (The reason I’m considering this new X-Wing because I broke and lost my 2012 X-Wing a long time ago.)

 

Speaking of Fart Play, apparently it’s only releasing in 6 countries at first. These do not include Denmark. Unfortunately my country is one of the ones affected.

Your cries have been heard, and the Razor Crest will be the new Tiny Tank of this summer.
I can’t believe TLG wouldn’t downscale the model if given the opportunity. They’ll use the old “better shaping” or “better stability” adage. Combine that with a potential Rotta the Hutt inclusion—where else would he go—and you have a justified downscale. Admittedly, that would make it better than the Tiny Tank, but in practice it’s still the same disappointment.

True. My hope is that TLG saw the error of their ways and decided to reverse course, since $45 is way too much in any galaxy for two figs, a droid, and a detailed but small starfighter. Nonetheless,  rumors are but rumors.
That said, there was a recent quote from someone (I think Solid Brix Studios, but my memory is foggy) who had asked the LSW designers about Count Dooku specifically, and the response was that they want to put Dooku into a set but haven’t found opportunity. So that quote, the fact that Anakin and Dooku did duel multiple times in early CW seasons, and that Anakin’s master and Dooku’s apprentice already appeared last year, all add to our hopes.
I doubt it. It would only cause an uproar among the LEGO community. Additionally, I don’t recall Anakin in his S3 attire hoping into his Delta-7B.

I got you. However, I am a one-trick pony (i.e. I don’t purchase LSW items nearly enough), so you are out of luck after this.

I have enough reservations about downscaling sets, especially the larger ones which should give more of a bang for your buck, but more concerning still is the prospect of continued QC fiascos on the level of the Tiny Tank. As you start to tackle larger sets with less and less pieces, the chance of QC problems will keep increasing IMO. I hope it’s a lesson they’ve learned.

With the Delta-7b being ‘cheaper’ than the usual JSFs, that’s a vehicle I actually wouldn’t mind seeing some downscaling applied to. Make it more aerodynamic and swooshable (without looking like a 4+ set), I won’t complain.

Also I need to find better uses for my memory, but Anakin actually does (albeit briefly) use his Delta-7b in his Season 3 outfit. Although I have enough confidence in Lego not to rely on that tiny technicality and make the Delta-7b based on the earlier seasons. It genuinely is the perfect set to include Dooku.

On the topic of the X-Wing, if they can incorporate the best of both worlds from the 2021 (downscaled for the better) and 2024 (accurate shaping like the hexagonal fuselage), I’ll be happy. I’d love to see them tackle a new pilot helmet mould again too, I know people largely disliked the 2018 one but another attempt at a dual-moulded piece would be nice. I noticed that very same piece was used by the two Lego executives in the Smart Play introduction video.

Agreed, you have waited long enough, I, the monkey's paw, shall grant you ONE tie avenger...but it will be a smart play set, chronically undersized, at 592 pieces and retailing for 120 CAD/90 USD.

By the maker, I can't stress enough how painfully Lego accurate this one sounds. From the piece count, to the price point to it being potentially Tiny Turbo-tanked and infused with some terrible usage of technology, you've set in motion our worst nightmares now.

Well my LSW plans this year have gone from nothing to: X-Wing (maybe even 2 if good as if it’s NR colours it’s likely the closest we’ll ever get to blue squadron), AT AT, Imperial Shuttle, some pick a brick… The shuttle might be a Lego Exclusive according to LMG, so I’ll have to buy it straight from Lego, but the other sets I can wait for a sale on Amazon. 

Well, isn't that quite the upgrade compared to last year? To be fair, it could almost only go up for you at this point. Let's just see how this all plays out. =)

Just found out the Star Wars Smart Brick sets will only be sold in six countries, and mine isn't one if them  
Of course, it'll still seep into this direction, but still. And seeing a breakdown of the reasons for it, it makes sense, what with manufacturing and distribution.

By the way, the countries are: U.S., UK, France, Germany, Poland and Australia.

That’s not even factoring in if there will be a Tie Avenger (Day #261) or a good imperial vs rebel or just imperial Battlepack. The latter of which I’d try to get at least 4 of.

Lmaooo. With my luck that may actually happen. 

Are you saying you wouldn't buy 4 Tie avengers? Considering the drought of good playsets, I've got to spend my money on something...

I like how turbo-tanked is now an insult to describe badly overpriced sets. Yes I'm malicious and hoping that TLG's designers will read this thread as an example of what to do

Me, a Canadian : Oh no...anyway.

So the three initially revealed BS sets are now available for pre-order on the Disney/Lego Shop and Amazon. Turns out the X-Wing is gonna retail at only 90€. Well, this changes absolutely everything. Time to get that sucker immediately. 

Also, since we talked about this @Mandalorianknight, there actually will be an Assist App to take advantage of more of the action, because of course there will be.

I don't know if it's an "officially used term" yet by the community. I just made that one up. The "Tiny Tank" obviously exists since the leaks. In any case, it should be used to describe sets where they just went too far with the downsizing. And thus, makes it a erigiously overpriced product in the first place.

So at 100€ you buy 0, at 90€ you buy 1, from there it follows logically that at 80€ you buy 2, then at 70€ you buy 3, and so on until at 0€ you buy 10. So if it was free, you'd have a fleet of the stuff, am I correct?

I know it isn't an official term, but similar terms are regularly used by people online.
