It's justified by the fact that people still eat LEGO up no matter the price, mainly AFOLS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sneakguest Posted July 15, 2018 6 hours ago, wesker said: I'm a bit skeptical to be honest. Aside from these rumours coming about a month too early, there just seems to be a couple of red flags. The first one being 75230 Ewok Tree Attack sharing the same set number as the 75230 Porg. Then there's the 501st Battle Pack. I know we've gotten named characters in Battlepacks recently - but Captain Rex being paired with Fives, Jesse and Hardcase just reads too much like a diehard Clone Wars fanboy's wishlist. Maybe if there was only one or two named clones with the rest being generic ones I might find it a bit more believable. Then there's the Raddus. Lego has done capital ships before and could easily pull off the Raddus with a similar design to the Malevolence, but sets at that scale only come out in the Summer wave. Unless this is supposed to be the Resistance Shuttle that was rumoured a while back and apparently still coming, but then how can they screw up the name of the set so badly - especially when they're providing an accurate set number? In their defense though - the minifigure lineup here does sound a lot more plausible then the previously rumoured one. I dont like this list, hope it's not true. And I also think it's a bit too early to drop a Preatorian guard battle pack, to take some of the excitement out of the snoke throne room set. And that Mimban set, with no new mini figure at all + they already made a "disguise set" for Solo. Plus I don't think they will release two good guys battle packs the same time, it has never happened before that they leave out the bad guys battle pack. And like you said, The ewok set feels pretty random. No I think it's fake. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robianco Posted July 15, 2018 A well known source of information, formerly of this parish, has dismissed the Reddit list as nonsense. That’s all I need to know at this stage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Khargeust Posted July 15, 2018 I hope to see in the future a set dedicated to the pursuit of speeders on Endor, maybe we can hope for next year if LEGO made the 20 years of the range with classic sets. A set that includes : - Luke and Leia in Endor outfit (and their rebel helmets). - 2-3 Scout Troopers - 2-3 speeders - Vegetation and actions features In short, a revival of the set 7128 but this time complete and updated!

HutchProDucktions Posted July 15, 2018 Clearly that list is a fanmade list. Nothing about it seems like an actual replication of Lego's current marketing strategy. Now, with that being dismissed, lets move on from wishlists before an admin says otherwise... As for Cloud City, I am seeing that Lando figure pop up again with people still thinking its the actual figure. It's still the one from a couple years back with the stormtrooper by its side and everything. So far we only have the leaks of the cloud car driver, the Ugnaught, and a potentially the Boba Fett, although I have my doubts about that one... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's arguably the best Star Wars set released in recent years (taking into account the cost of the UCS MF). A fantastic set. Agreed - my word choice was poor, shelf-warming meaning no one is buying. My meaning was that we've been seeing this kit on shelves since January 2015 - and that's a long time. Glad to hear those who have been waiting on it are preparing to buy it before it's retired. Still skeptical about the Resistance U-55 orbital load lifter being a real thing, let me break down why I don't think we're getting one: Lego likes to make sets with play features or good guys/bad guys balance. The only feature of these transports is that they explode (being fired on by the Supremacy). This is too dark for TLG to produce - it's nearly the same as having a Lars Homestead set where you can incinerate Owen and Beru. We already have the Resistance Troop Transporter - 75140 as well as the Resistance Transport Pod - 75176. Do we realistically see another Lego kit with "Resistance Transport" written on it? Marketing-wise, it doesn't compute with that name. I'll eat my hat if they are called "U-55 Orbital Load Lifters." This kit (or the Raddus) should have included Holdo, rather than the bomber kit - a scene which prefaces Holdo's introduction by about half the movie. Lt. Konnix would be a better anyway, she was in charge of the evac on D'Qar. Ideally, this kit would have Ep.8 Leia, Konnix and Holdo. There is an excellent MOC and build video out there by hachiroku24, it is a brilliant little build. I've built one and want to build a few more because they are light on the piece count.

That Orange Thing Posted July 15, 2018 The Reddit list has to be a fan wishlist because those battle backs are a wet dream. Plus, scout troopers in multiple sets seems odd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Renown Posted July 15, 2018 I think the Raddus and the Resistance Lifeboat have clearly been mixed up on that list. Interesting to note the inclusion of a Resistance BB-unit (more than likely intended to represent BB-4 (tan) or 2BB-2 (blue) - both of which were present on the Raddus in the film, the former of which was presumably destroyed in the hangar bombing and the latter survived the bridge attack and attended Holdo's briefing). I do have my reservations. On a personal note, I would really like to see it as an official set. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No wishlists please, there is a separate thread for that. Use it please. 22 hours ago, Deadshot said: Everything I've been able to find on the pricing of the new wave, or the Solo sets anyway, has been somewhat jaw-dropping to me. Is the 75217 Conveyex Transport really going to be $80-90 for ~620 pieces?! And considering at least 60+ pieces of that total is treads is even more glaring. The 75219 AT-Hauler is more reasonable from what I could find, 829 pieces for $90-100, but still a little high. It can't just be "it's Star Wars licensing". Both Han's and Moloch's speeders were 50 or 60 pieces higher than $0.10 per piece. Any more solid info on pricing for these kits? The only people I've seen who have them aren't in the US and can't speak definitively. People were complaing about 10 cents per piece over 15 years ago. The 10 cent per piece argument is old, let it go, otherwise this turns into a complaint thread. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Huigberts Builds Posted July 16, 2018 Wow I'm really excited for Cloud City. The Minifigure collection sounds great. I hope the rumored Darth Vader doesn't use the transformation burned Annakin head but the redemption one from ROTJ. I'm happy ESB finally gets the sets it deserves with a D2c CC and Yoda's hut last time. It only covered the hoth part for years. Now we just need some new AOTC sets because we only ever got the Standard clone wars vehicles. Anyway how big are the chances of us getting a new Carbonite Han mold?

So we have Luke, Leia, Han, R2, 3PO, Chewie, Lando, Boba Fett, Darth Vader and Lobot as major characters. At least one Ugnaught and at least one cloud car pilot would take us up to at least twelve minifigs. This set sounds like it is between Assault on Hoth and the Death Star so let's say the minifigure count is high teens to low twenties, we could see more Ugnaughts and pilots, as well as Bespin Guards, Stormtroopers and Imperial officers. Han wears two outfits and Leia three which might also be included. Whatever happens, I'm so excited for this set! I mistook it for a real/rumored list. I don't know anything other than you guys. I'm sorry for the confusion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
