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. 

The US price point for Obi-Wan's fighter is $30, and it hasn't suffered any increases over it's run, so I do think there's a good chance Anakin's delta includes 3 figures as well. Since the deltas have always been at a lower price point than their interceptor brethren, and lego appears to still think $30 is a good price point for that ship, I wouldn't be too concerned about the prices of Ahsoka's eta or Bob's... Azure-Angel-but-not-azure when thinking about the new delta.

Word. Kinda funny how much of a rarity non-red-five X-Wings are!  Fingers crossed for a more unique colour scheme too.

At normal scale, I think we've actually had more X-wings that weren't red five! Since the disney era (once we started getting X-wings in movies/shows besides Luke's, and therefore sets besides "Luke's but it can have a few parts swapped to be Wedge/Biggs/Porkins), we've had 2.5 normal system red fives (2018 and 2021- 2024 I'll give a half point for being red squadron, but the fuselage and wing markings don't line up for red five) as opposed to 3 of Poe's x-wings (2015, 2016, 2019) and the aforementioned red-squadron-but-not-red five. This holds true for microfighters and polybags in that period as well. (Though interestingly not advent calendars, where Red Five dominates) For Red Five being the main X-wing, that's actually a little surprising.

That said I will not complain at all if the next one we see is Black One or a Partisan/Blue Squadron X-wing.

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)

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. 

Welp, whatever the Anzellan spaceship set was GOING to be, this is what it will be Mocced into immediately after I get ahold of it. Malevelon creek would have gone differently if the anzellens had been dropped in to "hey hey!" the enemy clankers.

That would be a cool idea- and while unlikely, since star wars is notoriously uncreative with planets, it could be possible that these uniforms are being used more for ash/dust filtration and despite the "snow" we see it's still a warm environment. But yes, there's a good chance they just use the normal helmet.

I hope so too, and it's possible given summer sets continue to trickle out.

I mean, the TIE avenger has sand green and tan panels on it, so it's not ENTIRELY grey and black. I don't mind the X-wings or Lambdas but the snowspeeders I feel need to be LBG to stand out against the snow like they do in the movie.

Denmark's not included... what? Are the smart bricks going to rise up and take over? Why not sell the revolutionary new product in the country you're based in? (I know most likely this is just for supply chain reasons, but it almost feels like they're embarrassed and don't want their home turf seeing the smart bricks on shelves.)

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.

You lucky dog, you.

Mostly makes sense, though I feel as though Poland is catching a stray here. I'd have imagined China would be getting these, too, given how hard lego's been trying to entrench themselves there. I wonder if there was some issue with the app being allowed in. Also, as @CloneCommando99 points out, it's wild that you can't buy the revolutionary new product in the country lego is based in.

1 hour ago, BrickPrick said:

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'm still very happy that they don't take away from either the number of normal sets or the material they can cover, so I'm trying really hard to be positive here.... but c'mon, guys, that was the one win this system had over stuff like Vidiyo and Hidden Side.

So if it was free, you'd have a fleet of the stuff, am I correct?

If any lego set was free I would absolutely get a fleet of it. Its all the same system, just throw out the smart bricks and build with the normal ones.

Yeah, I thought Poland was a bit of an odd inclusion. But now that you mention it, Denmark missing is definitely a bigger question mark.

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.

You got me. I will be the first proud Lego Star Wars owner commanding a fleet of space jetskis.

Oh, you are right, that's even more crazy then! I just remembered the set being raised from 30 to 35€ shortly before it even released. Somehow thought it was the same for America, but it actually was unaffected. You every so often see it vice versa nowadays. Cobb Vanth's Speeder is a good example of that. Which also only includes two, albeit stellar, minifigures. Though I guess that doesn't really compare to one minifig and a droid, so yeah... it might include two regular minifigs besides your obvious R2. Top priority for me is the arm printed General Skywalker minifig, though. If they do that, I wouldn't mind the lack of another figure all that much. 

It truly is beyond aid already. I usually don't hope for someone or something to fail, but this BS system is a very strong contender. The only positive thing I can say about it is the box art... and the now spinnable R2 head is neat, I guess.

Not that I care it’s only in 6 countries but why just those 4 European counties and not Spain, Italy, Denmark, Sweden etc. why Australia and not NZ, why just the US and not Canada Is it to do with the App? Is there something legal wise which stops them, is it a licensing issue? If your Lego and launching a brand new venture that you think is going to make you money you launch it everywhere you don’t limit the market because it’s only going to hurt the sales more if it’s only releasing in 6 countries.
it’s not looking good these sets are destined for heavy reductions and warming shelves for a long time. 
 

Also has anyone been able to properly match up all the leaks and when they are supposed to be releasing? The way all the syrem sets have been revealed I’m not too sure what’s coming and when. Are these all May/June sets or are they the August sets as well?

Apparently those are merely planned for the next wave; we'll get an overpriced hoth echo base with a snowspeeder for 140 USD. This sucks because a remake was long overdue but I can't complain too much, at least we have had versions of it before, unlike a certain tie model with the same name as a superhero group...

I'm curious about the Bounty Hunter Pursuit - at $60, I wouldn't be super surprised if it included a 4th minifigure, Jango would make sense, but given that we just got two of him, I also wouldn't be surprised if we got an Ep II Padme, which would be nice.

Of course, I also saw someone on Reddit suggest that, given the way things have gone with this theme recently, "Bounty Hunter Pursuit" refers to a microscale diorama of the Obi-Wan vs. Jango Fett asteroid field chase from AOTC, so I suppose we still have to consider that possibility

Forgive me if the specific set numbers are required, but to consolidate information about other future sets:

"SMART" sets:

Ewok Attack ($29.99)

Battle of Hoth- Echo Base ($139.99): Includes a snowspeeder

R2-D2 (Includes a smart brick)

 

Regular, good old Lego sets:

Ewok Village ($179.99)

"Star Wars Mini-Movie Posters" ($49.99)

Upscaled Darth Vader Minifigure ($99.99)

Yoda Statue ($149.99)

Bounty Hunter Pursuit ($59.99)

"Icons of Star Wars ($79.99)

Luke Skywalker's X-wing Microfighter ($14.99)

Bespin Duel

Anakin's Delta-7 Jedi Starfighter ($29.99)

75455 Boba Fett

 

Mandalorian and Grogu sets (Also regular, good old lego):

75445 Anzellan Starship (700 pcs, $69.99):

75446 Grogu ($129.99, 1200 pcs):

75447 Razor Crest ($149.99, 930 pcs):

Sure, but that's true of any star wars set.

 

Realistically, it's got to be Zam/Jango/Obi-Wan/Anakin, right? 

Zam's already going to be a desirable option for collectors, and if you ask pretty much any kid, they'd rather have the mandalorian than the unarmed woman in a nightgown.

I would be shocked- aside from the summer sets seeming to be a real comeback for the theme, I think the dioramas have unfortunately died out. (I mean, fortunately in this case, unfortunately in general.)

In this day and age, given the amount of similar priced sets that only include three minifigures, I definitely would be surprised about a 4th figure. And regardless of how nice or even justified I think it would be, I don't think there will be. The ludicriously long overdue Zam Wesell minifig will be the main attraction and enough of an selling point for many collectors out there. So I don't see why Lego would go "the extra mile" so to speak and include an additional desirable character. 

Oh no... I know you are not supposed to shoot the messenger, but why did you have to say that? To say, my hype is now killed in an instant, would be an overstatement. But to say it didn't affect my excitement, would be a straight up lie. It better be exactly what we all expect it to be, or else!

Yep, exactly. We also need to consider Lego will be investing in an expensive brand new helmet mould for Zam. So I further lack any fantasy on why they would put a "bonus figure" in there as well.

Let’s be real the bounty hunter pursuit is going to have 3 figures. Look at all the other sets in that price range from last year alone.
Arc 170, 3 pilots, 1 droid

u wing 3 figures 1 droid (probably counts as a figure tbh)

RTG snowspeeder 3 figures 

slave 1 mini 3 figures

V19 3 figures

we can all dream but just would be crazy adding Jango in or anybody else, considering Lego’s track record. 

 

[ArrowBricks]

LEGO have a track record of good sets in principle, bad sets in practice. 

I am tempering my expectations, I suggest everybody doing the same.

Long gone are the days of Coleman Trebor, Queen Amidala, and the whole Jedi contingent arresting Palpatine.

A re-design of Episode II Bounty Hunter Pursuit had been long overdue. 

And the Up-Scaled Darth Vader Minifigure sounds promising, too - only its price is set much too high.

Those guys hardly count. They are integral to the scene and would probably have to be in a remake of that scale. It’s just that the set hasn’t been remade.

This however I wholeheartedly agree with. I’m fully expecting Lego to throw a curveball with the Imperial Shuttle this summer and make it based off Mando S2 and Dr Pershing as the only imperial minifig. Which would suck imo.

Hmm... That every so often is and isn't the case. In my personal experience, it's more about solidly executed sets in practice, but badly priced sets on paper. 

Besides the pricing which I already alluded to, what could they possibly screw up in such a set? It's been 24 years since the original and a lot has happened since then. And that should be visible when it comes to clearly improved builds. 

We just got Plo Koon and General Kenobi, though. In regards to getting long lost Jedi minifigures, Lego is clearly making moves forwards.

Although not as obscure as background characters, I would add Taun We and Lama Su into the mix. While you can obviously always wish for certain characters to show up again or at all, the last couple of years we got plenty of either never before done or long overdue remade minifigures.

It's not a guarantee but not unprecedented- we've had 4 figures in similarly priced sets in 2025. As for the mold, both the sets that included 4 figures (ARC and U-wing) also included "new" (revived, but for budgetary purposes it cost as much as a new) molds, so again, while it's not guaranteed Zam's helmet doesn't rule out getting another figure.

Yeah, eurobricks doesn't like to host images, so you need to upload them through a secondary hosting site. I personally use Bricksafe- you make a free account there, upload the photo, and then you can copy-paste the link into your post and it'll automatically turn it into a picture that Eurobricks will display regardless of size.

Actually I don't think this counts against Jango all that much. Lego seemingly counts astromechs and K2 as figures, so that's 2/5. There's definitely a chance, especially given they've already got the figure in production.

Yes, exactly. I'm not saying a fourth figure is next to impossible, it definitely isn't, just... unlikely in my book. If they can pleasantly surprise us, that's even better. Let's just say I won't be shocked or disappointed if they don't do something more than the bare minimum in the minifigure department. I just want the two ship designs to be appropriately detailed, modernized and clean looking, same goes for the three guaranteed figures. Chances are, they won't do a Zam Wesell ever again. At least not for the foreseeable future. So they need to ensure, with the exception of arm printing, it looks as good as it can be.

And you are right about the helmet mould. Other recent releases got costly moulds too. That won't be the deciding factor regarding the toal amount of minifigs included in the set. So no, it's not a valid reason against another figure. Not that I intended to convey this message, but I may have overestimated it's value. 

Yeah, I was making a Flickr account last year to post one unfunny meme at the harmless expense of another user in here. Will try out your personal image hosting site soon. 

I would like to add Ventress to the list. Suffice to say, there wasn't exactly a shortage of finally released or re-released characters in the past few years. While I would love the more obscure Jedi like the Parasaurolophus one to come back as well, specific ones like that hardly speak against the ongoing direction. Need to cut Lego some slack there. 

Yeah, in this regard, Lego does more than they have to do. Still probably not nearly as much as we want them to do, but honestly... it could be much worse.

Okay, that's good to know. While I would prefer to post certain images directly from my mobile device for convenience sake, it can't be that much of a hassle to do so via reliable image hosts. Just need to take a closer look at it. Thank you for stepping in on the matter.

We did get some nice new faces in that 2011/2014 period you're talking about, but over the last 3 years we've had (using your criteria- the 2011 Tactical Droid would imply characters recently introduced count, and Nute Gunray (ROTS) would imply new outfits count)

Cobb Vanth, Cad Bane (TbobF), Eternal/Revitalized Emperor, Dedra Meero, Commander Bly, Commander Bacara, Lama Su, Babu Frik, Admiral Motti, General Tagge, Sim Aloo, Galen Erso, Darth Malak, Fives, Saw Gerrera, Kellaren Beq, Moff Gideon (Mandalorian Armor), Princess Leia (Young), Nien Numb, Cal Kestis, Wooof, Vizam, and QT-KT.

And that's not counting the new characters/variants released during that time for Ahsoka, Skeleton Crew, or the 4+ series. Or non-canon characters/variants. Or new trooper variants.

Point being, while there are certainly issues with the modern state of the theme, "lack of new characters/variants" quantitatively isn't one of them.

Yes, exactly. I'm not saying a fourth figure is next to impossible, it definitely isn't, just... unlikely in my book. If they can pleasantly surprise us, that's even better. Let's just say I won't be shocked or disappointed if they don't do something more than the bare minimum in the minifigure department. I just want the two ship designs to be appropriately detailed, modernized and clean looking, same goes for the three guaranteed figures. Chances are, they won't do a Zam Wesell ever again. At least not for the foreseeable future. So they need to ensure, with the exception of arm printing, it looks as good as it can be.

And you are right about the helmet mould. Other recent releases got costly moulds too. That won't be the deciding factor regarding the toal amount of minifigs included in the set. So no, it's not a valid reason against another figure. Not that I intended to convey this message, but I may have overestimated it's value. 

Yeah, I was making a Flickr account last year to post one unfunny meme at the harmless expense of another user in here. Will try out your personal image hosting site soon. 

I would like to add Ventress to the list. Suffice to say, there wasn't exactly a shortage of finally released or re-released characters in the past few years. While I would love the more obscure Jedi like the Parasaurolophus one to come back as well, specific ones like that hardly speak against the ongoing direction. Need to cut Lego some slack there. 

Yeah, in this regard, Lego does more than they have to do. Still probably not nearly as much as we want them to do, but honestly... it could be much worse. 

I agree with that- it's not impossible, but not a guarantee.

There are definitely some themes where a new mold would cut into a set/wave budget a lot more heavily, but thankfully SW isn't one of them.

I should clarify- I said Brickshelf, I meant Bricksafe. They have similar names and purposes so I get them mixed up. (Though I'm sure Brickshelf is fine too.)

Yup. Another excellent rerelease. Hopefully to be followed by Dooku this year.

For sure- I'm always talking about Mara Jade, who I don't think has appeared in visual media besides comics and a mobile game, so I'm all for more obscure characters, but they definitely do a good job as is.
