Darth_Bane13 Posted January 13 Posted January 13 6 hours ago, Mandalorianknight said: 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. I think there are only really two options for a fourth figure. Jango is already in a similar priced playset so I doubt they'd include him here, and Dexter Jettster is obscure and would require a new mold so highly unlikely. I'm just glad we're finally getting another Zam after all these years, I believe she's one of the only yellow figures that hasn't had a flesh version. Quote
BrickBob Studpants Posted January 13 Posted January 13 I don’t think the set really needs a fourth figure. Jango would be a nice addition, but he’s already been in other sets recently, and no other characters fit the scene.

CloneCommando99 Posted January 13 Posted January 13 What I like about the Lego slate beyond March this year is, despite mostly being remakes, they are all recognisable vehicles but have their own unique twist to them. AT AT is a brand new variant and the first one to not be based on Hoth X-Wing will likely be a new colour scheme with a decent character selection. Imperial Shuttle this summer is yet to be seen on what class and role it has. (Might even have a unique stripe like the Emperor’s one) The Sandcrawler will have a different colour and additional creatures to previous versions Razor Crest has bright yellow accents, I guess. But do you know what this lineup is missing? The damn TIE Avenger!!!!

Exactly! As someone who usually laments remakes (especially OT ones), I welcome them if there‘s still something new to them, and the M&G sets all deliver on that front ^^ New colour schemes and minifigs are enough to convince me Quote
BrickPrick Posted January 13 Posted January 13 (edited) 9 hours ago, Mandalorianknight said: 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. Yep, it's somewhere in between. Is it because Star Wars designers were always used to introduce new moulds given it's varied source material? Like I don't know any other licensed theme having them present this prominently. Okay, I'm going for the safe instead of the shelf, then. The sudden appearance of Ventress, an arguably less important character, made me really confident that Dooku gotta be close to re-release as well. Still sticking with my prediction for this year... if not it's gonna be next year. As you also mentioned before with the interview, Lego is at least aware of the fan demand. Yeah, the Clone Extravaganza, as overkill as it is, has also brought us many very good comeback characters and newcomers. I could criticize Lego all day long for certain design decisions, but I'm no member in the doom and gloom camp regarding the Lego Star Wars theme as a whole being on it's last legs or something. As far as I'm concerned, we still get far too many good things out of it for that to be true. 4 hours ago, BrickBob Studpants said: I don’t think the set really needs a fourth figure.

Lego unleashing a Padmé fig (that sounds interesting in german) equals a Bigfoot moment. So I would gladly take every Amidala they have in store for us. Though I'm aware this is probably less about what we would want to see, but Lego deciding what's, uh, suitable for their younger audience. But if you can get Slave Leia in 2024 (UCS I know, I know), you can get PP in 2026. Like mother, like daughter, so to speak. Ha, I would take that Sleazebaggano off their hands in a heartbeat. And he at least appeared in the scene right after. Rather than just being located on the same planet. But yeah, speaking of suitable again, given his, uh, sticky background, he will probably never make into an official Lego set. Though I think Lego definitely did worse ones already, but those were more crucial characters that you just can't leave out. Only Jedi Bob comes to mind. But I suppose he doesn't really count. As he's more of a non-canon folktale, urban legend kinda dude. Edited January 13 by BrickPrick Quote

If the upcoming Starfighter is indeed including a third figure, it hopefully is Count Dooku. But I kinda doubt Lego would put two desirable main characters in such a cheap set, but we'll see.

I know lego doesn't always learn the right lesson, but that would be impossible to misunderstand. I hadn't realized that Grievous is coming up on year 6 without a figure, he's about due for a remake as well. What's especially concerning is those molds are all reaching retirement, so we'll either need a redesign (which I wouldn't mind) or they need to push him out this year. That said, between the two I'd honestly still rather have Dooku given just how long it's been without him- 13 years for the main villain of a saga film is unheard of. 57 minutes ago, ArrowBricks said: What I will add is many of the characters back in the day didn’t belong in the scene so to speak, but were included.

The summer wave sounds good for the most part; all the sets feel like they have a place. Now, some of these are rather radical! That is true, but not any different today, I think. In the list you provided, it's usually at the very least "character in a set based on a generic faction vehicle" - Shaak Ti belongs with the T-6 as much as Bly belongs with a CIS-livery MTT. And of course it's hard to select characters who don't fit the scene more than the anniversary figures. Though I don't know that I'd say it's a benefit for a set to include characters who don't belong in the scene, at least if the number of new characters is about the same, which we've shown. Sure, but it's still a comparable number- more if we add the Skeleton Crew, YJA, and Ahsoka figures. I think there's a good chance it gets a third. Not a guarantee, but like you say, given Obi-Wan's starfighter it would be a little surprising if there wasn't. I agree. My only concern is august seems a bit light on normal system sets, but given this'll be the most may/june/july system sets we've had as far back as I can remember, I'm OK with it. (Though I do still hope that wasn't the full august list- I'd love an endor battle pack to go alongside the ewok village, or a separatist fighter or two to pit against Anakin's Delta.) 47 minutes ago, BrickPrick said: Well yeah, it's gotta be the biggest budget, alright... they clearly need it.

For instance, five freaking buildable characters did not prevent me from celebrating Plo Koon last year. Absolutely- the biggest budget spread across so many sets and figures might still end up with compromises in some places- it would always be nice for the budget to increase. I think given the V-19 had the new clone pilot, Obi-Wan, AND Ventress, there's a chance. Arm printing is a good point, given Obi-Wan set the precedent for TCW armor Anakin to have it. However, given R2 wouldn't need any new prints, and Dooku realistically only needs a head and torso, there's a good shot we could get both. Obi-wan's fighter in 2022 had three new figures (admittedly with one being an astromech), with the kaminoan having a new mold. The biggest issue for Dooku is that he needs his curved hilt, but it's possible they just re-use the Ventress curved hilt, which I wouldn't be opposed to if it was the only way to get him. Plo Koon was an amazing draw last year, especially considering he doesn't seem to be getting re-used in anything in 2026. That entire set essentially existed to make sure fans could get ahold of him.

I sometimes wonder whether the Lego designer, free of all the PR language he or she is supposed to speak on camera, is as concerned or even frustrated about certain compromises as some of us fans are. After all, many of them are fans as well, which is why they got into this job in the first place. Emphasis is on "such a cheap set". I obviously thought about the V-19 as well. Given that it's on my personal wishlist for later this month, I actually think about it all the time. But it also is over double the price compared to the new Delta 7-B. Though there are more than enough other sets that support three figures. Anyways, Anakin getting the General Kenobi treatment would be the next logical step for Lego to keep on adding arm printing to main characters. In terms of chances for a third figure, preferably Dooku, I'd say it's at least more likely than the Bounty Hunter Pursuit remake getting a fourth one. I was looking at the last Count Dooku minifigure on Brickset the other day and I don't see a terrible amount of needed changes either. Hairpiece would be the same, dito for the face or something very similar, a slightly refined torso and maybe some slight leg printing. His special lightsaber hilt is indeed the tricky part. For the longest time I believed this to be the reason Lego don't want to release him anymore. But then they brought back the long ones from Ventress out of nowhere. So anything is possible, I suppose. Though I will be gladly counting the Count to my collection regardless of choice. That might not have always been the plan, but yeah... that's what ultimately happened and made me pretty happy. Still does whenever I grab this figure to look at the magnificent mould. Quote

BrickPrick Posted January 15 Posted January 15 It's so funny to me that the BS system is only gonna launch in half a dozen countries. And even though I'm among them, I dearly wished I wasn't. Another point that I wanted to touch on is the optional nature of these compatible sets. How optional is it really when the design of the actual sets are so very clearly impacted for the worse by BS integration? Would it make any sense to buy a, say, BS Cantina without also getting the required tech (the brick, tags, charging station and what have you), to get the little usage it actually does provide out of it? It may be "optional", but I ain't see that it's feasible this way. And to add insult to injury, are we to assume that these compatible sets would be even more expensive, if they included All-In-One? Quote
Alex_South Posted January 15 Posted January 15 I am glad this year appears to be Mando 'greatest hits'. I think if the movie under-performs they will shelve this era and move on so I am glad they are going all out. I am mostly interested in the new Razorcrest. I really hope they improve the build, features and color scheme, I want dark grey with pearl silver to contrast and bright yellow highlights. i know pear silver pieces are unlikely but if it was ever going to happen it would be for the movie. In terms of the build I am not worried about 97 pieces being gone, I feel like the original build was inefficient, it had that escape pod that never even got used in the show, and then they wasted the interior space on the carbon freezing that was used once, and then a lot of the front got wasted on flickfire missile storage, I am hoping they can get the proportions and angles better this time around and use the interior space better, even things like the engines could have used the parts a lot better, we will see. I am also very excited for Anakin's Delta-7b, the color scheme might pair nicely with the new RC, I really hope they revise that 7b build so they can nail the angles and rotate R2 90 degrees so he sits properly in front of the windscreen. I have no idea if that will get another figure, I just want a revised build and arm printing for Anakin so he matches the new obi-wan. The 7b is such a clean angular design and they have never gotten it right, I would love for them to finally do it justice. Quote

I just didn't associate the guards with the dueling function. Because all they did in the movie was menacely standing around in the background. And maybe parents should tell their kids to not use their own imagination and making any sound effects at all. Otherwise they might not be able to hear any of the cute, crappy little sounds that the BS is capable of... sad as that all may be. Edited January 15 by BrickPrick Quote
