Did anyone pick up the lambda shuttle today? Got insiders days coming up and I want the Castle GWP that’s coming and I’m undecided on whether to get the shuttle or the razor crest 

The Lambda shuttle is one of my favorite ships and my birthday is coming up on Saturday, but I'm holding off on getting it until January. The last time a big Lambda shuttle came out, in 2015, a college friend of mine told me he was going to get it for himself when he got into grad school. But then he bought it anyway and then he didn't get into grad school. So ever since then, I've regarded a big Lambda shuttle as kind of a jinx on grad school. As for myself, I should finally be graduating with my PhD this December. I've told myself I'm going to get the new Lambda when I finally graduate, but I don't want to jinx anything by getting it early. Anyway, it's dramatically overpriced at RRP now, but hopefully it'll be on sale by January, so that's a rational rather than superstitious reason to wait.

 Also, there are so many PT vehicles and settings that haven't had remakes for so much longer that the time gap between 2015 or 2019 to now for ST remakes seems insignificant by comparison.

We could really use a new Wookiee Catamaran.

On the topic of Delta-7b starfighters, I do wish Lego would deviate from the core build style of ‘central segment with two sides attached at an angle’. SNOT assemblies would help nail how sleek and nimble these things are supposed to look, but unfortunately when it comes to ship builds LSW tends to prefer small iterative updates rather than ground-up redesigns. 2022’s Delta-7 was a fantastic set though and very much a step in the right direction. 

I don’t think the ST is as of yet undergoing the retroactive resurgence in popularity the PT enjoyed a decade in

Would SNOT assemblies be stable enough for kids to play with? I agree that they need to be sleeker though.

To be fair to the ST I don't think the PT resurgence really happened until like 2017. Kids always liked the prequels so when they grew up they started voicing their opinions. A decade after the prequels it was still mostly older fans voicing their disdain for the PT.

Yeah, I think that's true. TFA and R1 were hailed at the time as refreshing contrasts to prequel excess, and they had a few lines of dialogue that were direct jabs at the prequels. It was only after TLJ was unexpectedly controversial that the sequel-hating, prequel-nostalgic narrative became the general tone of the conversation about Star Wars.

Was walking through Thanet the other day and thought I’d come across some Tuskens but just realised it was the locals. Then had to go to a birthday party with my daughter and it was so hot I thought there were Jawas at the party but again they were just some chatty toddlers.

That’s nothing. It was jazz night at the pub the other night and some poor sod got his arm cut off by an old geezer. It’s a shame cause I really liked that pub too because of its no AI policy.

Was quite a pleasant build imo. Fairly similar to the first downscaled R5 from a few years ago. 

I built the central wing mechanism last night. I think it’s one of the most complex and impressive technic mechanisms I’ve ever seen in a SW set.

I admire your patience - Lambda shuttles are my kryptonite.  I have a couple 75459 copies that were just delivered to my work address and I probably won't stop with just two.  I like Quarries Workshop mod (now available on Rebrickable) and I'll mess around with some of those changes.

Congratulations, btw, that's an impressive accomplishment.  What is your field of study?

That seems like a solid distribution over a year, not necessary for each wave though. Although I do think a new movie should be more heavily weighted than a new show.

Are there though? Kylo Ren's shuttle is pretty cool, besides that... meh. It's been a while since I watched those movies though.

The Problem with a Black One X-wing is it's just a less iconic paint scheme from way less popular movies, with less liked characters. Kids today seemingly aren't interested in the ST either so it would have to be aimed at a pretty niche audience who wants to drop $70+ on Sequel merch. For the Tie Silencer or Whisper there are arguably more popular/well liked Tie Variants we could get like the Avenger and Defender.

I know there are some people who would like new Sequel sets, but I just don't hear as much demand for them. The passion doesn't seem to be there; I don't see people making Sequel trilogy set wish list like they do for the PT, OT, CW. 

Yeah, I didn't clarify that but of course not every new project would take up the same amount of sets. A spinoff film (which personally I believe they should just stop doing) wouldn't get as many as a trilogy film.

Absolutely- the fact that you brought up a cool design that I hadn't even mentioned, with you not being much of a sequel fan either, is just more evidence of it. There are plenty of cool designs they can do.

The thing is, being from different trilogies means you can have Black One and the Whisper on shelves at the same time as Red Five or an Avenger. They fulfill different niches.

My NR X-Wing came in today. Can’t wait to build it. Definitely an upgrade from my 2012 Red 5, even more so considering I broke it and lost a lot of the parts.

Man, that's like going from a 2001 Honda Civic to the newest Model Y. They've made massive strides with the X-wing over the past decade (one of the reasons I want to see a "perfect" anniversary Red Five...)

Oh yeah, I get some cultural shock with some of you guys all the time. Three words: american cooking videos. Of course being fully aware there's generally a difference between America and U.S.A. And even then a lot of things *caugh* taxes *caugh* do vary by state. But phew... there are some mighty fine differences between the US and Europe. 

As far as my wishful thinking department inside my mind palace goes... Geonosis Padmé is coming in either a MBS style or Yavin 4 larger playset kind of Petranaki-Arena. One sticker, serving as an easter egg, from the UCS Death Star actually depicted her in this outfit. They always tease the next big thing in The Lord of the Rings theme via those Palantir printings. Would be cool to see this more often or at all for Star Wars. Other than that, given that next year's set coverage considerably revolves around special circumstances, I don't think we know for certain whether the Clone Extravaganza™ truly ended until at least 2028. 

Yep, exactly. It will bite them back full force eventually. The Lego group nearly went bankrupt in the early 2000s and only avoided it by completely reversing ship and making some smart, if overdue, decisions. This will happen again if they push their luck too far. 

It's just every once in a while you witness the return of some long lost themes and their pricing is so far removed from we're used to by now. Remember the Indiana Jones revival just a couple years back? Have you seen these genuinely reasonable prices? For a licensed theme, if I'm not completely wrong also owned by Disney by now, no less. It truly felt like living in another timeline. 

Yeah, we just judge and speculate stuff as we move along and see fit. And I would be eager to see some updated design for the Diorama Collection. Getting rid of the bases altogether could prove to be a great move. Now if only we could actually end up getting some more exciting minifigures. Not necessarily talking about the sets we're getting. Like we said, if they end up being no play sets at all, it recontextualizes things. But other possible sets. Like two sets for finally getting a new Dooku alone. 

That one's always interesting to me because it's something where you grow up and just don't consider it, but then you see stuff like that German gentleman who came for the World Cup just absolutely mind-blown at stuff like our gas station convenience stores. When one grows up near a Wal-Mart one does not ponder it's significance. (And yeah, a lot of things vary state-by-state too, including taxes by a good deal.)

Thank you for mentioning that sticker, I hadn't seen how many funny stickers were there. I don't think it necesarily implies anything, given the same one also includes a Naboo colored N-1, Anakin's podracer, an Aayla poster and the skyhopper, but it does show that lego at least remembers that design. Though I'd still prefer the caped variant.

They've already seemingly run into the wall with the smart sets, given they're all retiring early.

Yup. The indiana jones sets were remarkably reasonably priced despite also being entirely owned by disney, probably in big part because that brand isn't as strong. They're good movies (I mean, a good trilogy. Could you imagine if they tried to make 4th or 5th ones?) but they aren't a universe in the same way superheroes or star wars are.

This is, I believe, one of the reasons that lego tries to control leaks so much. If some of your fans' first impression of a set is a blurry prototype, they aren't going to like it as much as if they'd first seen the official reveal.

I think that we can be reasonably confident that these two sets are part of the same subtheme. Now, the idea that the rest of the mcquarrie fig sets will also be duels is an extrapolation from only two sets, but I think there's at least a shot of it being true. And if it is, Yoda vs Dooku is one of the most logical choices remaining.

The discounts on sets and other things I hear of Americans getting from Walmart is a fantasy compared to what I see in the UK. I’m also impressed by the level of infrastructure and sheer size of the buildings dedicated to a single franchise. I think the only thing in the UK that’s comparable is IKEA, but those are everywhere in the world. I do envy the deals you guys are able to get.

However what I don’t envy is the existence of the canned whole chicken on those shelves.

I still think the Ewok Village and BHP may have anniversary minifigs. If they did all duels it would result in a lot of Vader repeats.

It's never a sure thing, but it's amazing to be strolling through the clearance aisle and run into a big set that's like 70% off. The best moc I've ever done, my Spring Eternal freighter, pretty much cost me nothing because 90% of the parts came from two copies of the Skeleton Crew set, where I'd found the whole crate of them for $50 each. The figs actively went for more than that on bricklink, so selling them off got me thousands of parts for free. (I restrained myself to two copies so other people could run into the deal, but I did call a few of my friends who ended up grabbing ones for their own collections.) Sometimes you also get a mistake, and the store policy is just to honor it. They had a bunch of Galaxy Explorers a few years back that were supposed to be $30 off (so $70), but rang up as $30 total instead. The employee was just like "welp, enjoy the discount" when it was pointed out.

IKEA is probably the closest, it's not quite the same layout wise with IKEA's showroom maze before the actual warehouse, but they both do just have active restaurants in them and an absurd variety of items. You basically don't need to go to any other store, and competitors like Target and Meijer's keep it on edge and prices low lest they slip into the top spot. It is a logistical achievement unrivaled by almost any other commercial entity. You take that back about the canned chicken, it's great. The stuff you really have to watch out for is meat they cook in-house, because if nobody buys it it could be sitting on the hot shelf for about half a day before you pick it up and you will suffer the consequences if you aren't paying attention to the time stamp.

It's possible. It'll depend on what the overall layout for the year is looking like- are we getting an august wave that's just normal saga sets, and march/may will have our other 4ish anniversary sets? Or will they keep them spread out/have more than 5-6 mcquarrie figs? 

All duels specifically may result in 3 Vaders, but it could also just be all diorama type sets. I think if they're all dioramas in any capacity Duel of the Fates and Geonosis Duel are given, but I could see 4 and 6's entries being something like the yavin throne room or mos eisely cantina and Home One briefing room respectively.

I've said it many times before but I'll say it again: most of the time they're a fantasy here too. Those Walmart clearance discounts are rare and you have to jump on them in-store the moment you see them. They're not something you can count on, by contrast to European reviewers and grouchy online commenters who seem to think they can count on getting any large set of any size or theme 30% off within a couple of months at most.

Naming one ship I liked across the entire trilogy isn't really much praise. I wished the sequels showed the next evolution of ship/vehicle design since it took place 30 years after ROTJ. We should've seen more E-Wings and B-Wings. And why were Y-wings in TROS? they were outdated even by the OT. 

From a more casual fan perspective they pretty much fill the same niche. I remember as a kid I didn't get the new ST X-Wings because I had the 2012 X-wing, I preferred getting the newer designs like the FO transport ship.

I could see them doing a Black One X-Wing in 2035 for the 20th anniversary of TFA. Pretty much the only time they acknowledge the sequels these days is for an anniversary.

Mark, this is Good News.

Everyone who was complaining about the Y-wing can now be satisfied that it's getting a very unique minifigure design with Luke Starkiller. Probably the actual most unique/different minifigure an ANH Y-wing could POSSIBLY get. I hope it's a fifth minifigure and didn't kill our new pilot, but if it had to, I can accept that. Still a solid lineup for one of these starfighters.

The lack of the mcquarrie minifigure in the battle pack is something that doesn't bother me in general- but the fact that there's only 4 figs in a $30 pack is devastating.

I would say given you have very strong negative feelings about the movies and yet even you brought up a vehicle that you though would be cool, it proves that there is SOME market for a few of them. Obviously I'm not saying they should get nearly as many as the OT or PT- you saw my proposed setup- but if even people who hate the films admit there are some cool designs, there's a market. A lot of people on here, me included, have mentioned despite seriously disliking TLJ, the bomber was a sick design that would be nice to get again. And a lot of people do think TFA was fairly solid, which is where a lot of the good designs come from.

I mean, you could make the exact same argument about something like this year's Blue Squadron X-wing, except Poe's is a much more unique color scheme and actually does have differences in the build. FO transport ship is another good shout that would make a good set.

Right now, yes- and they're doing it in the worst possible way too with those 18+ gimmick sets.

Still mad there was a full collab between Top Gear and Lego and they never made actual Top Gear sets.

 

The vignette set sounds like a lot of fun. I'm glad that Lego Star Wars is realizing adults aren't scared of minifigures. Not what I expected for "icons of star wars" but definitely something that sounds cool, and it's good that the price has gone down at least $10.

Han in Mustafar we knew.

Luke in the Y-wing is excellent, as I said earlier hopefully an addition so we still get the second pilot but even if it's a replacement, a steller figure lineup for it nontheless. Ship's crew- main character who hasn't been in a playset in a good half-decade- unique (and very aura-farming) fig for collectors.

R2 in Bespin is fine, I'm interested to see which version this is. The standard one with a clear dome would be a bit boring, the T3-M4 version would be awesome- and if we see any new molds for it, potentially a hint?

Vader in the luke maxifig is brutal. This is the "you can only get malak in the R2 set" of the mcquarrie figs. And just like Malak, as much as I want the fig, I'll pass.

 

I hope we get at least Chewie and a Mcquarrie trooper later in the year.

I said the design is cool but I still passed on the previous Kylo Ren shuttle's and I certainly wouldn't buy a remake. I sold any sequel sets I had back in 2020, I now own 0 ST sets and would never buy one again. I'm sure there's a market for Sequel sets but it's a lot smaller than the market for PT, OT, Clone Wars. Do you really think there are many people who would buy a resistance bomber? It'd cost well over $100 and it's from the movie that killed Star Wars.

There's a major difference which is that the Blue Squadron X-Wing released alongside a movie. The sequels are 10 years old at this point.

Brutal indeed, my most desired fig, in my least desired set.

This line-up sounds much better, but I’m surprised to see this many anniversary figures so early in the year! Either we have way more figures coming than anticipated (like Chewy, a Stormie, Boba, and maybe more TESB and ROTJ McQuarrie designs), or the anniversary is front-loaded in the 1HY with only a small handful of additions in 2HY.

I think we have to get more- it's very unlikely lego brings the Lasat mold back, immediately does a round of mcquarrie figs, and ignores the Lasat in the room with it. Similarly, the Mcquarrietrooper is such a layup to get a number of uses out of the helmet mold given they've been introduced as TK troopers in canon. But it could easily be a case where there's one or two stragglers later on- the C-3PO is coming in April, so it's possible the last two get dropped into a few helmets in may and then that's that.

The „icons of SW“ set sounds interesting, but in a way also pretty similar to the rumoured poster set. I guess the latter will be directly based on an existing poster like the classic ANH one while the former is more of a pastiche?

I’m guessing as always it’s a rights thing. You’ve got to get BBC to sign off on using the licence and then agreement with the car makers to have the car. Which is easier these days as most makes have had the icons/technic/speed champions treatment

Happy 250th Birthday to the USA. But more importantly, it’s day 435 of our higher calling.

 

The new display set sounds more promising than its usual brethren.

Anniversary figures i can see happening in addition to the ones we know:

1. Chewie
2. TPM Obi-Wan
3. Darth Maul?

That’s it. I don’t think there is much more space in the year with Starfighter, the TIE Avenger and Ahsoka S2

Edited July 4 by CloneCommando99

[Meaf]

The January wave having more anniversary figures is nice, definitely explains the otherwise meh minifigure line-ups. I do wonder if we'll get any others, hopefully so since so far they're the most interesting part of the 2026 sets. Chewbacca makes way too much sense not to do, seeing as how they already have the head mold in-production.

I will say though, why do they keep including exclusive minifigures in buildable figure sets? I would have figured that the people buying the buildable figures tend not to care about minifigs as much, but I suppose the intention might just be to get people who wouldn't buy them normally to pick it up. Idk it's just annoying.

[MKJoshA]

Between talk about heatwaves and canned chicken, this discussion is getting dangerously close to being off-topic. Some fascinating connections with Lego Star Wars, but let's try not to stray any further shall we?
