As odd as two of those *insert infamous Nute Gunray quote* sets within such a short timespan sound like... Given the leaked Christmas Vader minifigure, which looked ludicrously legitimate all around, I think so? Unless both of those things truly are one and the same, which would be pretty wild as well...

I had to look it up... interesting. I think another Christmas set is unnecessary though.

That should be it, alongside the Vader's lightsaber GWP that comes with the executor. 

It really is a masterpiece. I'm not even sure you could make a modern star wars film that beats it. 

Okay, that's good to know... thanks for the confirmation. 

I firmly believe you can't even reach that level. Nothing on earth can replicate that kinda movie magic. Especially when the modern Disney Star Wars era deliberately hits different.

I think it's welcoming to see more of the non-canon goofy Christmas stuff beyond just the annual Advent Calendars. Especially some proper builds for actually affordable prices no less. Not just selected employee gifts that end up on Ebay for morally questionable price points.

I think you could make the case for ROTS being on that level.

I guess the whole concept is a bit weird to me because Star Wars has nothing to do with Christmas, unless you count the holiday special... Do we really need every popular Star Wars scene/vehicle Christmasified? Personally I'd rather just buy the winter village sets.

It's close and definitely very high up there for me as well, but all in all not quite there. Some pacing problems prevents it to reach that endgame level. 

Well yeah, that's usually how it goes with such occasions for licensed merch. Does it really make sense in and of itself? Nope. Is it more like supposed to make, well, a ton of cash? Yes. I don't want to judge these things purely based on their Christmas properties. While that obviously makes up a big part of the overall package, I always prioritize and value the quality of the set itself. And yeah, stuff like the Gingerbread AT-AT, along with the affordable pricing, looks quite  attractive to me. And it's not like it's eating up way too many set slots or something. These dishonorable mentions go to all the buildables/18+ thingamajigas.

A minor correction on my part, I guess the Calendar also hasn't released yet.

That's probably true, but as you like to call me, I'm optimistic. I don't necessarily think anything coming will reach that level, but I won't close the door on it.

The gingerbread AT-AT is an amazing set, too, just value-wise. I didn't pick it up last year simply because I didn't really decorate for christmas, but as this year around I've got the space to do so... I might as well, right?

It's one a year, and seemingly not taking from the existing set pool, I don't think we need to sound the alarm bells about every scene and vehicle being christmasified just yet.

But on a wider note, star wars actually has a long history with christmas dating all the way back to, yes, the holiday special, as well as the initial christmas album in 1980. And plenty of things since then- Santa is in stories in both the old EU and disney canon (though the disney-era material is explicitly non-canon).

I don't know if you talked about this before but how many and which minifigs to you imagine should come with the set? I imagine the techicans uniform would look good as a minifig. Or there are the jungle..., ehm, idiots

TIE Avenger (£69.99): Cassian Andor, Range Trooper and Director Krennic

This is what the man himself had to say, though it shows the state of things that a wishlist puts it at £70 with only 3 figures!!

I have to say, the tonal whiplash between most of Andor and these absolute goobers was quite something to behold  I like em, but once TLG blesses us with the magnificent arrival of the holy TIE Avenger, they‘d better bring back the Range Trooper instead  Andor in TIE pilot gear, his friend on the inside, and a Range Trooper would be the best-case figure selection.

Unfortunately a £70 set with 3 minifigs sounds exactly what Lego would do. For my taste they are often too stingy when it comes to minifigs.

Since it is possible to have a substantial number of Minifigs in a smaller set (looking at you Tantive IV Hallway) and keeping the aformentiond ones in mind, I think five minifigs should be doable: Pilot Andor, Krennic, Technican Niya, 2x Range Trooper.

Come on LEGO, you can do it!

Yep, I'm aware, though I was specifically asking about 2026 sets not to be officially revealed yet. 

There just can't be, so there just won't be. But to be painfully honest with you, honourable, optimistic Mando man, that's alright. Nothing needs to reach, let alone beat the genius of Episode V in order to be good on it's own terms since then. 

Yes, it unquestionably provides great value for the asking price. It almost seems like testing the waters on Lego's behalf. In other words, kicking things off by delivering something reasonable cheap to get everybody on board, only to keep on price gauging everything that comes afterwards on a yearly basis. Not even mad at Lego, that's a common business practice. 

As for myself, I didn't get it due to going out of stock in no time last year. Was then very relived to see it's supposed to stick around for at least this year... EOL at the end of 2027, if I remember correctly. And yeah, you might get it as well, man. We shall do a little Gingerbread AT-AT tea party... or mulled wine, if you fancy. Or just, well, gingerbread.

Cassian Andor in his Imperial Pilot Outfit is the Captain Obvious inclusion. The female Technician would be a good get as well. Just throw in two Ranged Troopers equipped with rocket launchers. Or, knowing Lego, just one of them and one useless standard Stormtrooper for "good measure". Like you already alluded to, for a 70 bucks set, you should get like five total minifigures, pretty much regardless of the build, but probably won't be.

Yep, we've been there before. It wasn't the first time and it certainly won't be the last. And yes, they definitely are too parsimonious when it comes to including an reasonable amount of minifigs to many given sets. Especially as far as our beloved Lego Star Wars theme is concerned.

What EU stories has Santa appeared in? 

I guess to your point, the sequels and R1 did release around Christmas time.

Did you guys also get two extra 1x2 plates in dark tan and two bonus blasters in bag 6 of the AT-AT?  Weird extra parts aren‘t that unusual, but getting two kinds in the same bag isn‘t exactly a daily sight

I did. I started getting bonus pistols after 2024 in my sets, but never bonus standard blasters, let alone 2. It’s nice.

What isn’t nice is how spare parts in general seem to be dwindling in quantity and sizes. (It seems so for me at least)

I thank my fellow TIE Avenger acolytes @BrickPrick and @Agent Kallus for giving my answer. Just shows that we’re all in this together and have been for 471 days atp.

But yeah. Cassian in the pilot outfit is necessary. Then the rest of the minifigs is down to individual preference and more importantly Lego’s goodwill. My preferred candidates are Director Krennic, 1-2 Range Troopers, 1-2 Stormtroopers and Major Partagaz. 2-3 of those candidates are what Lego would likely select I think. I don’t think the technician is interesting enough to get included when so many other Andor imperial figs are wanted more by fans.

 

Heck, I’d even say Melshi is a more likely choice than the technician tbh.

The opposite is the case. The categories of pieces that get spares have expanded significantly in the last ten years and we suddenly get spares for pieces like the small blasters, Grogu‘s head, Minecraft tridents, whips, etc. And that’s after the previous expansion where lightsaber hilts, 3L bars, gems, and other pieces joined the fun  And the usual parts (1x1 tiles, plates, and slopes) never stopped getting duplicates, often multiple of the same piece in a set.

There‘s only a single piece that I’m aware of that stopped getting spares, namely the Exo-Force claw. No clue why

I agree that it's alright, though I'll always hold optimism that eventually someone will manage it.

That's certainly a possibility, we'll have to see if it ends up happening with this bespin duel. (Though at the same time, if that was a common practice for lego you'd think they'd have tried it with the smart sets... unless these ARE the "reasonable" prices for them...)

I forgot how quickly it sold out. Hopefully it's an easier buy this year.

I'd rather have one of these a year than all the helmets and statues and smart sets and whatnot.

Most of them are small appearances and easter eggs, but aside from the aforementioned album in 1980 ("hosted" by C-3PO and R2), he's popped up in some of the game, the Knights of the Old Republic comic, and multiple West End books.

WHAT? Is that just the TMAG sets? I've got the speeder from the start of the year and it definitely didn't come with a spare grogu head.

…An Iron Falcon is coming (set 75481). Yes, a Marvel and Star Wars crossover set

The minifigs are Iron3PO, Spider-Han, War2-D2, Hulkbacca, and Captain Alderaan

Most of them had a spare Grogu head, but there were exceptions. And I already got an extra Grogu head in a set last year!

You know the empire is going to need some sort of TIE Avenger to keep these marvellous fellows at bay. Ultron R2? Luke Thor? Purple and gold Vader?

How many different colours do we need the falcon in really. Does this make this a marvel set or a Star Wars one? Not going to lie I’d be annoyed if this take up a slot for  SW when we could have something else anything else.

Eh, nothing happened. 

Not in this life, I suppose. But yeah, it ultimately doesn't matter. It's kinda tough to compare different entertainment mediums anyways. 

The attached leaked price point may already imply as much, but we'll see. Other than that, when it comes to the holy moly Smart Play™ sets, I don't rule out anything Lego is responsible for... unfortunately. 

Yeah, we will get one copy as soon as possible; I don't want to leave anything to chance this time around. I also really enjoy getting unique Vader variants. Already got like half a dozen of them, four of which remain single set exclusive to this day.

rant /on

Well, that settles it! LEGO has lost the plot, and so has Disney for approving it. This Iron Falcon for next year, coupled with the Smart Bricks concept we have this year, is going to go down as a very strange era of LEGO SW. I mean, what ARE they smoking over there in Denmark? LEGO doesn't need to do this 'innovation' crap: they are No. 1 toy maker in the world! There are innumerable things they could release (like a minifig-scale TIE Avenger for one!), but they have to pull this stuff instead. I give up - they've lost the plot, their minds, and what little remained of my respect!

Interesting. It's odd that they'd choose that part- it's printed and not as small as the typical spare parts. I wonder if they had complaints that kids were losing them.

I was trying to figure out what was going on with that figure, but man, it's really disappointing that we're getting 5 crossover figs and somehow Captain Industry Plant snuck in over Steve (and Luke!). You couldn't have done Captain Illum? I get War Machine if Iron Man is C-3PO, but the rest of this figure list is so weird. Hulkbacca makes sense, but you'd think Han would be his marvel doppleganger Star Lord, or someone connected to Hulk, not Spider-Man. They don't have a similar personality, powerset, or anything! 

I think this is RTG S3 and the What If writers managed to get hired again. There's no other explanation for how Captain Carter snuck in again. I'm irrationally annoyed about this- it's such an overdone and annoying character and somehow they've managed to actually get her snuck into a different franchise. It's comical how hard they push her, a character that should never have been more than a single episode of the what if show. Aside from it being part of the continued loss of actual Steve Rogers Captain America content, there is a captain britain! There has been for decades!

Really. There's just no telling what they'll do with that- next thing we know they'll integrate smart bricks into the UCS sets.

Let me guess- Santa Vader, Beach Vader, Jedi Vader... you don't have Chrome Vader, do you?

Hey, you could always get a... Loki Vader? Doom Vader? out of it. (But yes, it's extremely frustrating that they refuse to give us a normal millennium falcon. It's been 16 years.)

 

 

Sure, this is real, why not. The Evil Falcon was real. Jedi Bob's Starfighter was real. Why not. Gripe about Captain Carter somehow snaking in and stealing one of our only 5 figure slots aside, I'm sure it'll be an interesting set. I won't buy it, but it'll be interesting.

Marvel Falcon sounds lame. The dark falcon was kind of cool but this is too far.

[Meaf]

Well between this, the Dark Falcon, the smart brick version, and the new UCS release, I guess we're probably not getting a new regular OT Falcon until at least 2028. Kind of unbelievable how long it's been at this point, huh.

If I had to apply a matching metaphor for this matter it would be about cockroaches. No matter how many times you flush them down the toilet, they always manage to creep back up on you. 

Halfway there. I've got two Santa Vader's (2014 & 2020), Beach Vader and the 20th anniversary Vintage Vader. Can only dream about any Chrome figures. Would love to add the Bacta Tank Vader to my collection someday, though. 

Oh, as things stand right now, I would rather volunteer for a colonoscopy than getting this set. And yeah, I remember writing about this very topic in here not too long ago. If I can manage to find it, I ought to be pretty proud to add this newest entry (in addition to the latest and greatest UCS Falcon) to the long list... not.

Marvel Falcon sounds lame. The dark falcon was kind of cool but this is too far.

A special playscale set is still infinitely more worthwhile than a regular 18+ set/buildable stuff. The latter is the root of the problem as far as the unbalanced set distribution goes. Not the former which is still just a single set... and a legitimately great one at that. 

Exactly. Unless it's part of a hypothetical third season, we already have RTG as our glorified Star Wars What If... sub-theme. Now they try ro shove cross-over sets down our throats... they're definitely taking it too far. And there seems to be no end in sight with all these experiments and distractions. 

@Meaf The mist unbelievable part is that it's not unbelievable anymore. I can't even get mad at it anymore... at least not from the outside. From the inside, however...

One set a year isn't too bad, but it ties into the overall problem of there being too many subthemes. I think the gingerbread AT-AT is a cool set, the Christmas Bespin duel just sounds unnecessary to me  

Even as a kid I didn't like to mix licensed themes, not sure who this is for.
