If we only get 3 sets for the big new movie, what are they doing with this theme, y'know? If the new stuff doesn't get sets anymore it's all remakes forever.

If they play the hits, there's no risk of failure, right? This movie has nothing going for it nostalgia-wise, and even with Ryan Gosling, who knows how it'll perform critically and financially. It's an untapped era… and the two previous times that happened in Star Wars were the Mandalorian and the Acolyte. (Ugh, I feel bad breathing those two in the same sentence.) For the former, it got one set—a redundant remake at that, and as for the latter, obviously it didn't perform well, and I think TLG avoided a shelf-warmer with that one.

We'll see the set potential of Starfighter upon the trailer release, so I'll hold my tongue for now.

In the short term there's low chance of failure. But I think this consistent lack of risk-taking turns people off long term. You already see on this board the people who have been collecting for a long time underwhelmed by this Jan wave because they already have the stuff. I think playing it safe too long eventually becomes a risk in and of itself.

I really hope Lego comes out with some cool box art on these 50th anniversary sets. Maybe Ralph McQuarrie Vader like 2007? 

I think this is the one thing we can count on lego to do well. They've been hitting it out of the park with the box art recently.

the Mandalorian and the Acolyte. (Ugh, I feel bad breathing those two in the same sentence.) 

I guess I had expected some Death Star figs or a Shlup Gitto Rebel. I wouldn't mind a new Y-Wing pilot, especially if it's one seen onscreen in ANH. My thought was that we hadn't seen Biggs or Wedge in a minute and (thus I don't have them and I'm just greedy) so that'd be nice.

In every economy. Everywhere. All at once. (Legit, I thought up until now that Potential Man was a riff off Henry Cavill's Soup. So this is a whole canon with which I'm unfamiliar…?)

The Rebels Crew, perhaps; Ahsoka had the most unnecessary change in my opinion considering she was better off mentally in Book of Boba than in Ahsoka. Hera seems toned down in personality, Chopper is of course Chopper, I forgot about Zeb since he wasn't in the show but he is indeed perfect, and I don't know how you felt about Kanan, but to me he just felt… dead, you know?

Of course, the Y-Wing would need to be bigfig-accommodable… in fact, we'd need a whole new line of remade starfighters that can fit a new lineup of SW bigfigs. Obviously the first wave would be a TIE Advanced with bigfig Vader, a Millenium Falcon with a new canopy for bigfig Chewbacca (Han stays the same)—strike that; why go for all that effort when they can instead slap a "Smart Play Compatible" on the box and call it brand-consistent?
Long live the Aslume.

Agreed. At least the grey version of the MTT made some people happy… I think this Sandcrawler could've been brown and nobody would crying that it wasn't grey.

I mean, I wasn't going to say it outloud… but what are the chances LEGO just recolours the current Vader mold?

Well, McQuarrie did a particular artpiece that featured Jedi Han Solo, Zebbacca, and female Starkiller (Luke wasn't renamed Skywalker until the day of filming). I don't remember if Leia was included in any concepts during that stage. There's one black-and-white sketch that was adapted into Rebels, so maybe LEGO could go for that? Good point about Starkiller being highly merchandised over the years. It'd certainly be odd if TLG didn't go for him now.

At this point, Mando- while not nearly as bad- does have an interesting parallel to it. Mando's current state is the result of being too safe and corporatized, making it feel like the show was produced by accountants rather than showrunners. Acylote was the result of taking some bad risks and giving the showrunner too much control. A story like TMAG doesn't work because it simply has nothing going on- it's too safe, they don't try anything. Characters from other stuff show up to remind you that they exist, but nobody does anything, nobody grows as a character. (I'll again say, at the very least, Mando should have painted his armor.) With Acolyte, they tried the wrong things, and let the showrunner do things that hurt pre-existing stories, concepts, and characters. It leads to slightly different outcomes- people will forget TMAG, while acolyte will be notorious- but in both cases it's a financial loss for the studio and a critical failure with existing fans.

I wouldn't mind either of them, but I think the best move is a glup shitto Y-wing pilot like Dex or Ryle. (And then both biggs and wedge in a trench run set?)

Oh- no, it originally comes from a show/comic called jujutsu kaisen. One of the characters, Megumi, is constantly built up as having the potential to be one of the strongest in the show, but at least for the first few seasons doesn't really live up to it, hence the original meme, which put his face on superman's body alongside various jokes/memes about the discrepancy between what we're told he'll eventually be able to do and what he actually does. Phoenix from X-men adopted this template as well, with a focus on how in the comics she and/or the phoenix force is constantly dying and coming back to life, and of course now it's pretty widespread for any character that's considered a fraud or overrated. So it probably has wrapped back around to just straight-up Henry Cavill Superman, though much like the original potential man meme I actually liked his character too.

That's probably true about Ahsoka, but I just sort of considered it her getting older and more mentor-like as time went on, especially after she turned into Ahsoka the White. She probably is the worst offender translating to live action- I think Rosiario Dawson is good in other stuff but miscast- but as I've said before Ahsoka is the least interesting character in the Ahsoka show to me. I preferred the final episodes where she really did become a gandalf the white style character and Ezra and Sabine took focus.

It would be really funny if lego started putting smart play compatible stickers on all the boxes for the normal sets because it's all the same system and therefore you can attach the smart brick to any set.

True. I think you lose a lot of the "but we had X before (almost a decade ago) why couldn't it be a different color" crowd when the different color is actively more boring. (Though the more I look at it the more I do like how it looks.)

It's certainly possible, but I'm going to hold out hope on this one. The anniversary figs have had new molds before and star wars is generally pretty good about giving us new molds when a character needs one. The bigger concern for me is that that'll be the ONLY change- it needs at the very least navy blue lines instead of grey ones, but I'd personally like to see navy robes.

I guess they could just call her mcquarrie Leia and then also do the hallway fight Starkiller as Luke, but the female starkiller is the least interesting design to me given they've basically done slight recolors to that outfit for canon Leia costumes. It's not like Vader or Stormtrooper where there's something that just feels unique and non-canon about it, or Han/Luke/Chewie where it's just a completely different guy. (C-3PO and R2 don't interest me much either for the same reasons)

You're certainly going to get a minority of fans who already have the old versions and don't view the new ones as a good enough update, but it is a minority.

Many toylines have 3 year cycles, because it's considered that's how long the average kid stays into the theme. There's a reason we get new X-wings and TIEs so often, it's because there are constantly new fans moving into the target age range (and increasingly new adults coming back who've lost the sets they had as kids), and lego wants to make sure they can get ahold of the most iconic vehicles.

Now, that's nothing to say they can't throw in some new obscure characters to bait people who already own the prior versions of the set- nobody's saying these sets wouldn't be better if they included additional minifigures- but the current january wave isn't very risky and will probably do quite well (Hopefully except for endor). All these sets haven't been done in 6-10 years, so it's not like they were just on shelves. And of course there ARE some exclusive new figs here with the mcquarrie characters, and possibly a new pilot as well. For January, unless the builds are bad, this really is our best wave since they shifted into the modern era.

[CloneCommando99]

This heat plaguing Europe is obviously divine retribution for Lego not making a TIE Avenger yet.

Weird how we’ve heard nothing about Ahsoka S2 sets yet. It was originally supposed be released this year so one would assume Lego’s got some prepped and ready to release around Jan-March and therefore have leaked with this wave. That is unless… there are none. But hopefully it’s just they’re releasing stupidly later in 2027.

The prior version of Bespin Duel was a display set and even half the price. Duel on Mustafar in 2005 had only two, but that was because those were the only two we knew were going to be on Mustafar. Meanwhile Duel on Mustafar in 2020 was $20 and, again, only two figures but at half the price of this new version.
It was interesting to look back on the pricing of Jedi Starfighters; a trend of price increases that's very similar to today until it dropped back to $20 in 2018. At least back in TCW era we got more builds and/or minifigs with each price increase (Plo Koon's SF being the exception); whereas just in 2022 we got a $30 SF with three all new figs (considering R4 as a fig for the sake of it), only to now expect a reused R2 and a hopefully deluxe Anakin. It's better than $45 for an Interceptor, certainly, but still feels stingy.
The trouble is we get tons of Anakins and Obi-Wans, and while we certainly need those characters to return regularly, I'd like to see a different cast each time to interest me in collecting. The lack of minifgs offers no suggestion of imaginative play too.

I imagine an all gold or black greebles and gold banner box-art with the "Star Wars at 50" logo as seen on StarWars.com. The McQuarrie figs seem like a novel way for TLG to celebrate and only that. The approach for branding this 50th anniversary seems pretty straight forward and formulated, for better or worse.

Do we know if the new Bespin and Mustafar duels are playsets or diorama's? I though the rumor was they were going to have display quote plaques like the diorama sets. If they are dioramas then it makes sense for only figures in the scene to be included. 

If the lack of a third minifigure in the JSF allowed them to keep the price down then I don't mind too much.

Yeah that seems likely.

I disagree, the black box art is really boring and lazy. The Sail Barge or Jango's slave 1 for example, would've look so much cooler with actual box art. The playset key art is fine but I wish they'd bring back the actual characters sometimes instead of the Lego versions of the characters. For the Revenge of the Sith anniversary sets it would've been cool if they brought back the Vader Lava key art from 2005.

We know mustafar has a quote- I don't think they're 1:1 of the dioramas we used to get, but it sounds like they fulfill a similar niche so it does make sense for only the combatants to be present.

Yeah I should clarify how recent, I meant like the boxart they introduced this year. The metallic blue stud patterning is excellent.

Unfortunately I think it's an issue of Lucasfilm not having effectively communicated this show's release date. We still don't know when it is. It's possible they have drafts in the wings and are waiting to hear when the show will actually be released... it's also possible they decided to avoid an eternals situation and we won't see anything around release since they didn't/won't have time to put stuff into production when Lucasfilm finally sends out a release date.

75455 (Boba Fett) has just leaked and it looks absolutely stunning! 

It's in the usual place if you're interested....

I agree it looks nice, although I do kind of miss when they'd have the same key art across all their SW toy packaging.

[Tariq j]

Not usually interested in the buildable figures but yeah that looks fantastic! 

[Graupensuppe]

That still doesn't seem to be an accurate RotJ Boba minifigure. His hip pouches and belt are the ESB version.

Edited June 26 by Graupensuppe

[Darth_Bane13]

The buildable Boba looks good but I'm so tired of buildable characters at this point.

[ArrowBricks]

I was excited for the buildable Boba, and it doesn’t disappoint! 

Fantastic model, look forward to the future ones we receive!! 

[TheScaryDoor]

Boba looks great. My personal problem with Boba is that he was build up in the Mando Series so well (that fight against the Stormtroopers 🤩) and after that was completly deconstructed in his own series. Therefore not sure if this set will be part of my collection because to many disturbance in the force between Lego and Source are not welcome but still a great set.

As funny as it is to describe it that way, yeah, it's great. I pretty much have a Boba Shrine already with UCS Slave One, the brickheadz, some minifigs and the Bandai model kit, so at this point I feel like it's almost an obligation to buy this since it's so well-made.

At heavy discount, which like all other lego SW statues of this size it'll go on within a year or so, but a purchase nontheless.

It's so weird. They showed they were able to make the perfect post-ROTJ Boba- someone vicious and brutal yet honorable and with no love for the empire- and then when he gets his own show, they just forgot what they wrote in mando and demolished the character.

Oh Boba Fett, you’re no TIE Avenger.

Yeah they changed the box art in Jan 2019. The TLJ box art was the last one, and perhaps the worst one they ever did.

[Kaijumeister]

I’d argue the 2019 - 2021 black and white box art (or accurately box banner - box art specific to system sets has always been fantastic) of Lego greebling and minifigure art representing a set’s source content was the worst. It looked so fundamentally boring and uninspired.

Whatever the new style is for next year’s box art, I hope they incorporate some gold tastefully. The Mandalorian banner this year was a great change from the usual 2022 - 2025 art style, I love it when proper artwork of actual LEGO minifigures is used.

The Boba statue looks awesome, not for me but objectively one of the best buildable characters in this theme.

Edited June 27 by Kaijumeister

[brimbolet]

Funny. The 76344 Iron Man is sooo much better than this brick built Boba; looks like an unfinished, unrefined set to me. Don’t like this at all.

If I remember correctly, the 2023 332nd BP was rumoured to be $30 but was then bumped down to $20 by the time of reveal? So hopefully that happens again with Endor come January. Especially since it’s likely that Lego does listen to some public backlash. (Smart X-Wing was brought down £10 from its initial rumoured price point, and then there’s the question of how come so many desirable 2026-7 sets ‘accidentally’ leaked within an hour of Smart Play reveals.

Hope you’re right, rebellions (& Tie Avengers) are built on hope. Maybe I’m grasping at straws but I’d like to see at least an additional McQuarrie figure now. Like in the anniversary 75262 BP. Though it still would hardly justify the high price…

I've been noticing how many recent D2C's have a random single figure included, so I think you're on point. I believe TLG (after years of court battles, lol) has realized that the minifig is their one instant distinction from their brick-competitors. There's honestly not much difference between a brick from Billund or not, but the minifig has gained its status as a legitimate collectible. So with Ninjago versus Star Wars, it's almost as if an action figure company has both licensed and original characters on shelves; obviously the licensed has better recognition, so the non-licensed line has to offer better value for each figure and/or bundle those figures together.

Mmm, I think so.

My guess with the Ashoka sets is they’ve been moved around when some of the 2026 sets got pushed back maybe? 
 

they never gave a reason why some of the sets got pushed back but maybe the delay with Ashoka is the reason.

Ngl I thought he was going to be an upscaled figure like Vader. Hope Lego don’t do more buildable figures for non droid characters now, because there are toy shops that still have the rogue one and rey/finn ones sitting on the shelf

It was. A weird sort of evergreen style they still use today, rather than the unified art that changes every year.

100% would love to see some gold for the anniversary sets, honestly if they just changed the mando boxart from blue to gold, and added a nice anniversary logo- maybe the original logo with the modern versions of those figures-, that could look pretty special.

Boba statue is definitely well-done. I'll be waiting for a sale just because I know he'll go on a pretty solid one being one of the larger statues, but a definite buy from me.

As funny as the Reys, Finns, and Jyns sitting on shelves are, it's specifically the unarmored humans that sell so poorly. The more organic looking something is, the harder it can be to translate into lego (like chewie and some of the yoda busts/statues), but the characters with armor and helmets generally get adapted pretty well.

Thank you for bringing it up (I think you were first too); my dream LEGO Y-Wing has been the Red Jammer for it's history behind the scenes as well as the epic colourway. In this case and this case alone, the build will absolutely make or break this set for me.
Speaking of which, I'm intrigued to see how the greebling will be accomplished this go around, what with all the new odd pieces at their disposal.

I learned about it from the behind the scenes stuff after seeing the M&G movie and it's a very cool tribute to an obscure model that was never used in ANH, but finding out it was never used in ANH and the recent figure rumors has me a little worried they are just going to do gold leader again. I was looking at the color scheme, and it seems like a toy version of the color scheme would be a really interesting mix of reds/greys/yellow/white and then copper greebling, it would look amazing in my opinion.

I thought the Y-wing for TROS looked cool, but I am also wondering how this new one's build will look.

 

I can't wait to see the build on Anakin's Jedi Starfighter, as a kid I loved the interceptor version but after clone wars I think the 7B looks like a sword and it's really cool, anakin's in particular has a wonderful color scheme and I think it would look amazing across from the new Razorcrest.

[icm]

M&G has Red Jammer blow up the Hutt tower. Seeing that Easter Egg, I'm a little surprised the Y-wing rumored for next January is supposed to be from ANH, not Red Jammer featured in M&G as an Easter egg. After all, the last OT-era Y-wing was technically from Rogue One, not ANH, and it had a pilot in a dark blue jumpsuit instead of an orange jumpsuit.

I am looking forward to this too, I own the 2014 version and whenever I see it, it’s fantastic. I regret not buying Anakin’s 2018 JSF, so I am looking forward to this. Slightly worried at the price point, though, for the this rumoured one. I am expecting a phenomenal Anakin minifigure.

I thought the same, but then again, for the last 6 years or so, LSW tend to release stuff that features somewhere that year/or the previous year in Star Wars media, but then decide the context which is likely to sell the best. I think the OT will sell better than a Mando and Grogu version, unless they released good figures.

Day #429 of asking Lego to make a TIE Avenger
