The „icons of SW“ set sounds interesting

For me as well. Sounds like a good, new kind of set for the celebration of Star Wars.

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 think it's minifig vignettes, like little environments for each figure. The really interesting part is it's an 18+ set in which the minifigures are the central focus, not there because the diorama wouldn't work without them or just entirely absent.

I’ve seen comments on Reddit commending hiding a figure like that in that kind of set. Which is such a weird take. 

I would guess they either think it was the only way to "sneak in" Malak, which I think is just objectively wrong given we got Cal in an ISD, or they think putting the fig in a non-minifig set allowed them to up the budget alloted to the figure, which is somewhat reasonable. (Though if we could have gotten a Malak in a smaller system set and he just re-used the Ultron neck bracket or something I would have been fine with that. It works for my custom Malak anyway.)

Happy 250th Birthday to the USA. 

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

WOOOOOOOO! (The TIE Avenger did cause some spectacular fireworks in the show)

For me it's less about the set itself and more about what it means- it sounds like an 18+ set actively focused on minifigures, which would imply lego has finally realized that minifigs won't scare off adults from buying sets. This is a potential game changer.

I think a TK trooper or other ANH concept art figs are more likely then the latter two there, like female starkiller, the uniformed vader, etc. Everything we've seen so far is from ANH concept art, I wonder if they'd want to save later films' mcquarrie designs for later. (Would be funny if 25 years from now we get a set of AOTC annivesary figs and it's just a republic commando and 5 radically different pieces of Dooku concept art)

I'm starting to get worried about Ahsoka S2's potential sets.

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.

I think at this point this is the best january figure lineup of the modern era. I don't know what would even compete with it.

That's exactly it. Minifig-hunters who otherwise wouldn't buy a giant buildable Luke Skywalker will now want to pick up the set anyway so they can get the mcquarrie vader. I hope that set crashes and burns so we can pick up the vader minifig for cheap later on (and because while it's entirely hypocritical, as I loved sets like the rebel scout speeder remake, the maxifigs may be my single least favorite set type lego's ever made for this theme. It feels paradoxical- I have a Luke Skywalker minifigure because I like legos as a medium and I like star wars as an IP. Something like the boba fett statue is cool because it's a boba fett made out of legos. A lego luke skywalker made out of legos feels like something that should be a niche legoland product, not taking up a mainline slot. I would- somehow- even prefer the statues to them.)

I agree maxifigs are a terrible subtheme for Star Wars. I think it works better for Lego IP stuff like the classic spaceman.

The vignettes remind me of these sets:

But with brick built backgrounds and 100x the price.

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.

There was also a cheeky little nod from one of the lead minifigure designers  when asked about this particular Padmé sticker and the possibility of a Geonosis based set in the foreseeable future, hence why I mentioned it. It can obviously mean anything. 

On 7/3/2026 at 1:46 AM, Mandalorianknight said:

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

Which is fantastic news as far as the Star Wars theme is concerned. It's like I said... We need Lego to be smart about dumb sets, not the other way around. 

On 7/3/2026 at 1:46 AM, Mandalorianknight said:

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.

It truly felt like party like it was the 2010's. Just fascinating how the price discrepancy can be this huge between different licensed themes. You end up wondering whether this was on purpose or someone just left the wrong elevator or something. And I could never imagine them ruining a cult classic trilogy such as this. And I hope neither could holy Hollywood! 

On 7/3/2026 at 1:46 AM, Mandalorianknight said:

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.

Yes, that has to be the case to some extent. People fear the unknown. Or in the Smart Play™ case... they tear it apart. So you better have some actual exciting news up your sleeve for some good old damage control to soften the incoming blow. 

On 7/3/2026 at 1:46 AM, Mandalorianknight said:

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.

Yeah, these two Duel sets probably go hand in hand at this point. While the shot of anniversary figures being only included in those type of sets is out of the window by now, so too does it make the Yoda vs. Dooku set, long overdue and logical as it definitely is, less likely to show up. Even though two AOTC sets releasing in the same year were pretty unlikely to begin with. Would obviously love to be wrong on this one.

Yep, you already answered your own question. It's not about enticing non-Lego people who don't care about minifigs in the first place. As you already have this casual crowd in the bag with those type of sets. It's to tempt the more seasoned collector's of the theme to buy something they don't want or need just for that single exclusive minifig. They basically want to kill two birds with one stone. And yes, it's absolutely annoying when you're more on the latter side of things.

I mean, we kinda already had that with dioramas. But this is still definitely a step in the right direction.

I’m now 100% certain the Ewok village and BHP will have anniversary minifigs now that it’s confirmed the Y-Wing has Luke. So there’s at least 2 more coming. I also imagine there’ll be a TPM set as that’s literally the only movie without an rumoured anniversary set so far. So likely 3 more.

Sorry. That’s my fault. I’ve been keeping Filoni’s hat hostage until he adds in the TIE Avenger to the season and dictates the creation of a Lego set, which has been keeping the merch line delayed. Nothing will stand between me and what is rightfully mine./s (Day #436)

Uj/ At least we got the NR X-Wing already I guess.

I am no sequel lover but I think people do forget they exist. It is interesting pattern that 5 of the first 6 films have sets coming but there are 12 films, (13 next year). I think it’s a coincidence and not intentional to be having sets from different films 

[Kaijumeister]

I’m going to paraphrase Laszlo from What We do in the Shadows, but Lego really are the most devious b******* in New York Cit-I mean Billund. I’m not enthusiastic about McQuarrie Vader now being included with the buildable Luke rather than the Bespin Duel, but I can see the logic that including the minifigure in a non-System set probably allows it the budget to have a new helmet mould.

Luke Starkiller in the Y-Wing might just make this set a guaranteed purchase for me now. Imagine displaying that and McQuarrie Vader fighting in the Tantive IV hallway! I assume he’ll use the Cad Bane rebreather piece.

The vignette sounds really cool too, though given how often we’ve had its constituent minifigures I hope there’s something more to them than what’s been described. Hoorah for 18+ sets that don’t sacrifice the spirit of what Lego makes so charming in the first place! More stuff like this over the display slop please.

Not to jinx things, but 2027 is sounding pretty good to me so far. My only worries are Ahsoka S2 not getting any sets and the General Skywalker figure not being a masterpiece like General Kenobi was.

Given that the leakers have confirmed that the list of concept figures is not comprehensive yet, I can only imagine a McQuarrie Stormtrooper is on the cards for later in the year. But for the lineup we know of so far for 1HY27, it’s pretty awesome to get most of the main heroes / droids and Vader.

@icm I know you’re trying not to jinx / draw too much attention to the fact, but major kudos to you for nearing the end of your PhD. All the best to you in the last remaining months of it

Exactly. For lego-original concepts it makes a lot more sense, but licensed figs just don't appeal to me in terms of "$100 upscaled minifigure"

Interesting. The designers definitely just throw that out sometimes- they said something similar about Two-Face's new hair mold in a Batman set in january 2025 implying we'd get another of that character soon... and with the 1HY leaks for that theme's 2027 we can now say that that isn't happening. But it does at least mean the designers are thinking about it.

I wouldn't completely rule it out- it is AOTC's 25th after all, even if there's a bigger anniversary it shares- but you're right that it's not particularly likely now that we can confidently say two duel sets with anniversary figs in the same wave is a coincidence, not a pattern.

I feel like the dioramas were moreso an example of a subline lego was trying that had to include minifigures despite their best wishes/efforts. This sounds like the first one where the focus is actively on the minifigures, rather than lego doing a diorama collection, having to include minifigures to complete the scenes, and then ending it with a figless one anyway.

Hopefully.

Dude, not the hat- iconic hats are clearly what give IP franchise runners their power, without his hat the brand is doomed.

Nien Numb got a new mold in the skiff- and this is lego star wars at the end of the day, so I wouldn't say it's something they have to do. I think it's moreso a case of lego knowing that fig will drive sales to a set that otherwise wouldn't get ones from some of those new buyers.

Unless it's actively the worst-looking Y-wing they've ever made, it's an instant buy from me. January 2027 is rapidly shaping up to have me spend more in that one day on legos than I have in the past two years. (Unless I get the sandcrawler, I suppose)

Yup! This needs to do well, it has the potential to completely reshape the 18+ landscape for this theme.

Those are my worries as well.

I hope so.

I must have missed that, congrats @icm!

[CloneCommando99]

With the announcement of the new Doomsday set, we may potentially be able to expect the TIE Avenger by August 2027. (Day #437 of TIE Avenger delusions) As that seems to be the timeline of my set ideas to reality for some reason.

 

I really hope that Disney/ Lucasfilm learns from M&G’s awful marketing campaign/ timeline and start advertising Starfighter soon.

To put it mildly, it's definitely not the greatest time to be a Lego DC fan. But yeah, it's at least somewhat nice to see some designer's mindshare about things they arguably have or had to neglect for quite some time.

I think the high likelihood that we're getting the long overdue Bounty Hunter Pursuit Remake is enough to accommodate AOTC's 25th anniversary. Like, I would have been happy with such a highlight set for TPM two years ago. But at the same time, I'm definitely among the last people who would refuse a slightly updated Count Dooku minifigure to release next year as well. So like I said... would love to be proven wrong for this one.

I feel somewhat similar about this. Not quite on the same scale as yours, because January 2027 could end up topping just my 2026, so I'm only like halfway there compared to yourself, but yes... It's a presence I haven't felt since... partially 2025. And yep, suddenly the new Y-Wing looks a lot more attractive to me.

I don't know about Eurobricks character limits per posting, or if it's even technically possible due to your postings spanning multiple threads, but I swear to the maker... If this noble crusade of ours actually ends up being successful someday, I will try to compile EVERY one of your TIE Avenger summonings into one gigantic novel for everyone to enjoy.

Probably a hot take but I kind of liked the lack of campaign and marketing. With the ST everyone was making theories and hyping it up to the point where for me at least I just couldn’t enjoy the films because I felt the trailers and merchandise had been overly analysed to the point of people were claiming to know the story before it came out there was no mystery in it. 

also feel like Disney trailers are terrible at just revealing things that would be 1000% better left out. 

going in to M/G we had what 2/3 trailers and nobody really knew what was going to happen and going in to watch it was refreshing.

Unfortunately a lack of marketing campaign kills the film. If the general audience isn't being shown it, they aren't going to remember to go see it. Similar with the theories- it gives the fans something to obsess over and get hyped for. And if you don't want to engage with it, you don't have to. (Though at the end of the day that's not something that needs a big campaign to happen- starfighter already has plenty. Even something as simple as a leak for Ryan Gosling's character's

Spoiler

first name- Cade

-already has a bunch of theories and is gaining a lot of hype with fans.

Arguably nobody really knew what was going to happen in TMAG because nothing DID happen in TMAG. I think most people were able to puzzle out "opens on snow planet, mando fights empire, mando gets rotta, mando goes to nal hutta, ends with the NR striking Nal Hutta", and beyond that there wasn't much that you needed to theorize about. There were no cameos besides Dave "totally inconspicuous normal pilot that my friend who barely knows SW totally didn't immediately clock as a member of the production team" Filoni, no plot twists, nothing.

I'm still hoping that leak was a misread because if it was my favorite character coming into Doomsday is confirmed a fig- something that the sheer number of characters and low number of sets is not a sure thing for anybody not named doom- but yeah, the TIE avenger's new best bets are May and August 2027. If it doesn't happen in either of those slots I think it's unlikely it happens anytime soon at all.

They need to. I think there'll be a lot more interest between the new time period, fact that instead of Pedro Pascal fatigue Ryan Gosling can't stop winning, and overall more mysterious nature of the film so far, but if they don't give us anything to go off the GA isn't going to be as likely to show up.

Yup. It reminds you that just because we haven't gotten something doesn't mean the designers aren't aware of it.

Hopefully. Typically the anniversaries have received at the most one playset, with it mostly restricted to a brickheadz pack and 18+ sets. Perhaps between 2025 being the year of jango and the 50th of the franchise eating more of the 18+ slots, AOTC will simply lose out... or maybe it'll get to double dip on playsets.

I went back through my collection- as of the coming December, unless I bite the bullet on the sandcrawler or the Boba Fett somehow reached 35%+ off already, I'll have spent $23 on lego star wars sets myself in the past 2 years (A shameful purchase of the 2nd 332nd pack because I do love mandalorians), and about $100 on new sets in total (a few small marvel sets and the ninjago anniversary display).

For January 2027, the sets I have more or less locked in as purchases are the Y-wing and about $100 of marvel sets, which already doubles the total lego purchases I've made in the last two years. But depending on the build I might also pick up Bespin and Mustafar, which would TRIPLE it.

If we count sets I've received as gifts that number doubles and January 2027 won't eclipse it unless everything I'm on the fence about ends up being a day 1 purchase, but regardless I think it shows how good this january is looking. Or just that we're finally back to system OT sets and some PT sets that don't rely entirely on Jango Fett's DNA.

That's the thing... I wouldn't consider AOTC "losing out" being a big deal if we won't get another set next year. As far as Lego Star Wars anniversary standards go, getting a set like the Bounty Hunter Pursuit, I would still put it in the above average category. I mean, arguably the best thing happened to TPM last time around was a GWP locked behind a hefty paywall. 

Considering the amount of content we were and still are getting since the Disney takeover, we would generally be wise to remember that doing every Star Wars anniversaries justice gets harder every year. Especially when you have this overlap between LSW/SW and TPM/AOTC occasions.

Ha, your only real Lego Star Wars purchase being the second 332nd  Battle Pack (because of Mando appreciation) the last couple of years is kinda on the diabolical side. My 2025/2026 looked a little different than yours. Still getting many of the smaller to mid sized sized sets in the same year. With occasional flagship sets to catch up the years after. Yet I still got but a fraction of the overall releases every year. 

If I were to recommend you one set to get before it retires, my personal bias admittedly at play here as well, it would be Plo Koon's Microfighter. Even if you don't find it significantly discounted, it's still a low price to pay. And you treat yourself to a magnificent minifigure the maker knows when is showing up again. Just bricklinking him would also be an option, I guess.

That would be quite a stepup as far as your Lego purchasing behavior of the last two years is concerned. Right now, I only got Anakin's Delta-7B Starfighter looked in, assuming Lego does the only right thing for the ship owners figure. But the Duel on Mustafar, Bespin and Y-Wing are likely wait for sale candidates for me.

A little bit of both, I think. A substantial January wave that goes hand in hand with the right set selection makes this an unusual strong offering. 

Ha, I got basically little else than Lego Star Wars birthday gifts for the last eight years. They're as follows: 

• 2018: 75172 Y-Wing Starfighter
• 2019: 75218 X-Wing Starfighter 
• 2020: 75243 Slave 1 20th Anniversary Edition
• 2021: 75288 AT-AT
• 2022: 75322 Hoth AT-ST & 75320 Snowtrooper Battle Pack
• 2023: 75337 AT-TE Walker
• 2024: 75290 MBS Mos Eisley Cantina
• 2025: 75402 ARC-170 Starfighter & 75401 Ahsoka's Jedi Interceptor 
• 2026: 75432 V-19 Torrent Starfighter & 75437 Cobb Vanth's Speeder

  Reveal hidden contents

first name- Cade

Spoiler

My knowledge of Legacy, like the majority of Legends content, admittedly mostly comes from EckhartsLadder lore videos. (I know, ‘There’s no limit to the Larp’)

But even I am intrigued by this. I have heard of Cade Skywalker, I loosely know his story, I did think Gosling’s outfit looked like Cade’s in that ocean pic. I’m sure a return to the true bloodline will do quite a bit of work for getting people back on board, it is for me.

I am actually now wondering whether it was possible they could sneak Mark on set for a 3 minute scene to guide Cade back to the force and maybe give him the green lightsaber through force shenanigans? (Yes, I know key jingling, member-berries and all that but I do think SW needs something of that level)

Aaron Pierre playing a Jedi is cool, him having a green lightsaber would be funny. So is ‘Cade’ supposedly donning the Luke Starkiller mask.

Is Amy Adams still supposed to be Gosling’s sister? Cause it would be cool for Luke’s son and grandson to have an adventure. Plus the implications for the future of the Mando-verse, around when Gosling and Adams would have been born, suit our agenda quite nicely. (the secondary one, maintaining the TIE Avengenda is still our top priority. Day #438) 

And is Goth playing the real Darth Talon? If Legacy really is inspiring this movie? I think Matt Smith is rumoured to be a non-force sensitive warlord, likely ex First Order imo.

Ha, I got basically little else than Lego Star Wars birthday gifts for the last eight years. They're as follows: 

• 2018: 75172 Y-Wing Starfighter
• 2019: 75218 X-Wing Starfighter 
• 2020: 75243 Slave 1 20th Anniversary Edition
• 2021: 75288 AT-AT
• 2022: 75322 Hoth AT-ST & 75320 Snowtrooper Battle Pack
• 2023: 75337 AT-TE Walker
• 2024: 75290  MBS Mos Eisley Cantina
• 2025: 75402 ARC-170 Starfighter & 75401 Ahsoka's Jedi Interceptor 
• 2026: 75432 V-19 Torrent Starfighter & 75437 Cobb Vanth's Speeder

Your friends and family definitely love you.

The last substantial SW set I received as a birthday gift was the Cody Helmet in 2024. It was a banger. And I can’t complain much as many friends get me battlepacks.

If I were to recommend you one set to get before it retires, my personal bias admittedly at play here as well, it would be Plo Koon's Microfighter. Even if you don't find it significantly discounted, it's still a low price to pay. And you treat yourself to a magnificent minifigure the maker knows when is showing up again. Just bricklinking him would also be an option, I guess. 

I think it's the best Microfighter we've ever gotten, even if it is a little overpriced.

That's the thing... I wouldn't consider AOTC "losing out" being a big deal if we won't get another set next year. As far as Lego Star Wars anniversary standards go, getting a set like the Bounty Hunter Pursuit, I would still put it in the above average category. I mean, arguably the best thing happened to TPM last time around was a GWP locked behind a hefty paywall. 

Considering the amount of content we were and still are getting since the Disney takeover, we would generally be wise to remember that doing every Star Wars anniversaries justice gets harder every year. Especially when you have this overlap between LSW/SW and TPM/AOTC occasions. 

Ha, your only real Lego Star Wars purchase being the second 332nd  Battle Pack (because of Mando appreciation) the last couple of years is kinda on the diabolical side. My 2025/2026 looked a little different than yours. Still getting many of the smaller to mid sized sized sets in the same year. With occasional flagship sets to catch up the years after. Yet I still got but a fraction of the overall releases every year.

Even if you don't find it significantly discounted, it's still a low price to pay. And you treat yourself to a magnificent minifigure the maker knows when is showing up again. Just bricklinking him would also be an option, I guess. 

That would be quite a stepup as far as your Lego purchasing behavior of the last two years is concerned. Right now, I only got Anakin's Delta-7B Starfighter looked in, assuming Lego does the only right thing for the ship owners figure. But the Duel on Mustafar, Bespin and Y-Wing are likely wait for sale candidates for me. 

A little bit of both, I think. A substantial January wave that goes hand in hand with the right set selection makes this an unusual strong offering. 

Ha, I got basically little else than Lego Star Wars birthday gifts for the last eight years. They're as follows: 

That's true- I doubt most people are begging for an AOTC brickheadz pack or statue.

It is diabolical. I have the spare income, and I was weak. I wanted the mandos. 

I will pick up Plo's microfighter at some point, or receive it as a gift or something. I bought one for my father, actually, since he's a big Plo fan.

That's fair, it's smart to wait for sales whenever reasonable. I would hope with only 2 figs in the $30 set, one of them being Artoo, that lego gives Anakin the justice he deserves.

A good point- it is a mix of both. 

That's an impressive list! The cantina is one of my grails for if I ever have the space to display sets like that.

I think it would work, but I also wouldn't mind Cade hiding his last name until the end of the movie for it to be revealed.

From what I've heard she's now supposed to just be a family friend, the sister was just the original plan. I wonder if that's because Gosling wasn't initially meant to be Cade Skywalker.

They would have to move up the timeline (IIRC if gosling is anywhere near the age he is IRL at the time that the movie supposedly takes place, Luke would have had to have had a kid with Camie before he even left tatooine). Honestly I still think there's a good chance the movie takes place later in the timeline then we think.

I hope not. I'm not the biggest fan of Talon in general but I've also heard conflicting things about whether Goth is even a force user or just a saber wielder. I kind of like the idea of it just being a cartel boss and bounty hunter opposing the jedi as opposed to dark side force users.

If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back those sets that have prevented you
And you'd get made

I don't know why Lego did the things they did
I don't know why I said the things I said
18+ is like a knife, it can gut the theme
Bricks are like weapons, they wound sometimes

I didn't really mean to hurt you
I didn't wanna see you go
I know I made you cry, but TIE Avenger

If I could turn back time
If I could find a way
I'd take back all those sets that have prevented you and you’d get made
If I could reach the star [destroyer], I'd give 'em all to you
Then you'd love me, love me like you used to do

(Day #439 of believing in a brighter TIE Avenger)

Yes and yes. Though I do think the brand new head mould kinda makes up for the price increase. A little easier pill to swallow, if you will.

Can you actually imagine Lego doing a buildable Count Dooku or BrickHeadz before doing a new minifigure? Not even they could be this tone deaf, could they? Even though they did the TPM BrickHeadz featuring some desirable characters we haven't seen in minifigure form for quite some time... 

The two Maul Mandos are good enough of an excuse, though. They were for me, too. 

Ah, a man with an acquired taste, I see. Koh-to-yah Mando man's dad. 

Yes. That approach can't exactly hurt nowadays. If the aforementioned sets (Bespin/Mustafar/Y-Wing) contain some legitimately great builds, there could always be something on top of the Starfighter. But since it will be my birthday this time around, there basically will be anyways. Like either one of those three sets or something big from 2026. 

Dude, I'm telling you, I said I was gonna scream if we don't get an detailed General Skywalker. Since Astromechs don't technically count as one and R2 is just, well, another R2... you literally have just this single one minifigure to care for. So they better make it count and do the only right thing here. Otherwise they can sell this set to people who don't care and/or don't know the difference... which would still be more than enough, I suppose. 

Oh, it definitely is my holy grail of Lego Star Wars sets. I got it displayed on one of those cheap little black IKEA tables in the living room. It ain't exactly ideal, especially when it's very prone to collecting dust out in the open rather quickly, but it's still my proudest prosession to date.

Looks like we’re getting two ‘meta’ sets next April, one being a theatre with an ANH poster and cosplayers (75659, $199.99), and the other being a BTS diorama of filming Tatooine scenes. This is the set with George Lucas, which also comes with two crew members, Luke, Obi-Wan, R2 and C-3PO. Or rather Mark Hamill, Alec Guinness, Kenny Baker, and Anthony Daniels?  The build itself is said to involve the Landspeeder, a moisture evaporator, and filming equipment.

I have to say, this sounds like a really unique and creative way to celebrate the anniversary!

Anything but a TIE Avenger….

Honestly these sound really cool. There’s a lot of potential for the cinema’s cosplayers (shame it’s not going to be a modular)

A few suggestions for candidates both meta fans and also highly cosplayed characters who might not otherwise get a minifig:

• 501st Legion charity stormtrooper 
• 501st Legion charity X-Wing Pilot
• Dolores from HR
• Cal Kestis (survivor)
• MARA JADE
• Jedi temple guard
• Obscure clone trooper

[Tariq j]

I actually really like the sound of those. It’s the anniversary year after all so they may as well go all out. Hopefully we get pink shorts guy in the Landspeeder set!

[icm]

I mostly didn't like the diorama sets before, but that's actually a brilliant way to get the Landspeeder without it being "yet another Landspeeder" (even though even if it was, a 7-year gap is plenty for a remake) or one compromised by a Smart Brick. I just hope the price is right, because if it's as overpriced as the Smart Brick version that'll be disappointing.

[Mandalorianknight]

I get the appeal of them but these personally just don't interest me. They are cool concepts, but it's a similar thing to the giant minifigures- if I want star wars legos, I want legos representing things in the star wars universe, not legos referencing lego star wars or filming/watching star wars.

I think it's entirely possible in the latter case. Dooku would be guaranteed for an AOTC Brickheadz pack, but doesn't appear to be showing up before then in sets. It's not unheard of- though this would probably the most extreme example- as Grievous and General Lando also both received brickheadz a number of years after their minifigures went off shelves.

I'm glad to hear I wasn't alone in my lapse in judgement- though I do quite like the speeder, too. Some new wedge-tip curved slopes I hadn't seen before.

Nice- and yes, of course, it's always going to come down to the build.

For some reason lego seems to count astromechs as minifigures. They don't do it with the B1s/B2s, etc, but they do with the astromechs. That said, two minifigs in a $30 set- one of them re-used- would imply a detailed general skywalker is coming, since it's sort of like the Cobb Vanth speeder set if the other fig had been a re-used Mando instead of your beloved Cad Bane. I think we probably will get arm printing and the like- the real question is if we'll get the more visually distinct navy and maroon robes, or the black and brown.

Dust is a scourge for legos. Especially the black-base dioramas- at least Mos Eisely has to be harder to notice dust on given the lighter colors.

You've turned me around. This is the best set idea of all time, I can't believe it took lego 28 years to make it. (Joking of course, but if they were able to sneak Mara in I would be very grateful- especially because you could probably snag Mara for cheaper than your average exclusive-to-$200-set figure since there'll be a ton of city fans buying the build and scrapping the figs.)

Remember how people were speculation Amy Adams was Mara Jade? What if the Cade Skywalker thing is true and Adams DOES play Mara BUT it's in the fun, superhero movie way where a random military guy that gets killed has the name of a comic character?
