Anyone else think the winter wave will feature Star Wars Resistance sets? Similar to the Rebels wave we got when that series was released

Quite possible. Will be interesting to see how well received this show is and whether or not that could impact how LEGO go about creating sets for it. Seem to recall the last wave of Rebels sets sold notably poorly in comparison to other items on offer at the time.

I had no idea the new series would be about the resistance. What a disapointment. I was hoping for some old rebuplic stuff

I hope that If they do have some free space, they make more sets and Minifig polybags based on the newer movies such as the gray imperial shuttle from Rogue One, a Canto Bight chase set, Dryden Yacht and a Mimban set.

I just hope that if they do start to have any Resistance based sets they aren’t given the cartoony looks the OG Clone Wars sets were given. (I’m glad they’ve gone away from that in the most recent Clone Wars sets)

Not to start a wish list but there are plenty of things to still produce that haven’t already been. 

These August releases are a prime example of what they are capable of producing and I hope they can continue this trend. I’m realllllly digging those new Solo sets.

Looks like I can't get a free kessel mine worker or han solo mudtrooper when I go to the lego store for my birthday :( And I'm not paying $15 each for such lazy figures. In fact, I may just get the X-Wing and swoop bikes and wait a few days for the conveyex and Hauler to go down in price.

A 'few days'? In the Lego store? You're optimistic.

Is there any more info, then, on how one might acquire the Kessel Mine Worker and Han Solo Mudtrooper?
Hopefully the promotion or whatever regarding those minifigs is available around the time the Hoth Medical Chamber and Imperial Landing Craft are released :sweet::thumbup:

Does anyone know how much the Conveyex will cost? I was putting together an order of new HP sets to get the double VIP points at the beginning of August, and after seeing it on the back of the calendar, figured I might pick it up.

I contacted a seller from eBay who was selling the Kessel Mine Worker and Han Solo Mudtrooper Promotional minifigures.

He sent the reply in german but it translated well and said he got them in Legoland for a reasonable price per figure... 

Sorry if this didn't help much.
