LEGO Star Wars 2016 Pictures and Rumors

Recommended Posts

I wonder if this means that there will no be a new "Anakin's Podracer" Set? As it did have the rumoured 75145 number, which now has the black/red thing...

I'll be disapointed if there isn't a new Podracer. Hopefully someone just got the name and set number mixed up.

The other character is probably a stripper, seeing as the set name is XXX.

Nope, I read this correct. :laugh: You just made my day, pal!

So, looking at the prelims, they're pretty sweet. (Sorry, late to the party) It looks almost like the back pair of wheel son the CTT aren't connected, :sceptic: I do love Vader's TIE though! And haha, they are indeed making Lor-San-Tekka

Hopefully. After all, these are prelim pics. So everything we see is subject to change.

Plus with all the TPM sets we've been getting recently this seems like a good time to redesign the Podracers.

This seems like a much better looking Hammerhead than the one on the prelim image... Seems unlikely, but is it possible the one on the LEGO image is a placeholder?

Actually I can see it for this supposed hammerhead set. I imagine the front may rotate potentially like the T-6 Jedi Shuttle.

Perhaps a Rebels Leia fig...

Well, it seems that there are too much questions for this wave.

Firstly, 75145 is rumored to be "Anakin's Podracer", now the pre shows the black/red thing.

Secondly, 75147 is rumored to be $70, now the pre shows the price may be $50-60.

Thirdly, 75149 is rumored to be $100, but the pre shows it's more likely to be $80, just like the Poe's X-wing.

And it seems the rumored Resistance X-wing AND Encounter on Jakku may just be the same single set, the 75149.

I compare the 75151 prelim with 8098, it seems 75151 is a little scaled down.

Take the AT-TE as an example, 7675 and 75019 share the same price, but 75019 is a little scaled down.

More pieces have been used for better details, but the scale is disappointed.

Sold. $100 is absolutely ridiculous. Thanks for the info!

60$ for this set?? Wow, sounds like a majectic bargain. ( even though it's gonna be priced 80$ in CAN)

Correct me if I am wrong here but I think the price is not official yet. I do hope it's the real price tho.

Last A-Wing was 24.99 usd and the tie advance was 39.99 usd. So we are looking at a 65$+ set if they have roughly the same number of pieces. According to me it's going to be a 69.99$ or a 79.99$ set. (89.99 or 99.99 CAD $ )

But I hope I am wrong...

Hmm. You might be right. But $100 is still ridiculous - I was guessing it'd be $70-80.

The TIE vs A-Wing set is $60

Sounds roughly believable, the combined cost for 75038 and 75082 (two similar vehicles) is $65, and that includes one minifig more, and both vehicles might be slightly simpler, then again, lego/disney has been on a price gouging streak lately

(and for those interested, european cost for those two sets is €85, or €90 with the new interceptor, so im guessing we will get to pay €90-100)

I would love it to be Gree but I doubt it will be because we already have two named rare Jedi's in the set. I just can't see them putting another rare character like Gree in it.

You guys know that Commander Gree is still available in the AT-AP right? Many shop in my area still have that set on the shelfs.

Agreed, I've got like 6 Commander Gree minifigs. I'd really hope for someone different in the Turbo Tank.

Rare minifig? I cannot see Gree as a rare minifig, and for me he also isn't a "wanted one". Please Lego, give us Cody instead in one of the summer sets...

Considering he's only available in one set I think he's fairly rare. I mean how many commanders do we actually have from episode 3....

What I noticed is that only ep 7 sets seem to be overpriced, while OT and PT sets have been priced mostly fairly. So since it's now rumored that Vaders TIE vs A-Wing is 60-65$, the price seems fair, unlike the originally rumored 100$ price point. But I wouldn't be surprised if it would cost 70$ since last version of A-wing and Vaders Tie combined is around 65$.

You are right, sorry.

But we do have different versions of him, and if I remember correctly we only have one version (CW) of Cody...

Did anyone notice the space station or something in the background of the Hammerhead and black ship? Do we know if these are Rouge One sets?

Everyone makes mistakes!

I'm hoping for a new molded AT-RT driver.

That's very unlikely :wink: First off, the RO sets are assumed to be released around September like last year's TFA sets and will thus be revealed at a later point in time. Secondly, the RO sets will surely have their own special boxart just like the TFA ones did :sweet: The RO sets might be included in the catalogues, but if they really are, they'd certainly be represented by blank boxes without names...
