LEGO Star Wars 2020 Set Discussion - READ FIRST POST!!!

[Kit Figsto]

The Stormtrooper looks way better out of the box.  I know a few pages back someone suggested that it looked more like the Lego Stormtrooper helmet and I definitely can see that looking at the unboxed version.  It almost reminds me of the original Lego Stormtrooper helmet design (aka, the best one they've made, IMO ).  I still don't think I'll shell out the $60-70 that it's supposed to sell for, but if they end up on clearance I may snag one.

Yeah, to me it looks like the 2001 stormtrooper helmet design too, especially in terms of the eyes and mouth.

 

 

I forget exactly, but I think right now we know of:

April wave: Boba fett and stormtrooper, D-0, possible another set.

Summer wave: Anakin's interceptor, BARC and AT-RT with 4 clones, AAT, Night buzzard, Grievous's starfighter, AT-AT, baby yoda + mando brickheadz.

September: Razorcrest, 

My question is if we know anything about whether the april set is coming out or not, or anything about more potential summer sets as I think someone said a while back.

mixed up brickheadz date.

The Mando/Child brickhead is August, not September. The advent will also be September, and the first of the D2Cs should be out in May, at $200ish.

Thanks for the re-confirmation  Btw, any update on 75274? Is it still a thing or has it silently been cancelled? I just want the uncertainty to end

Lego still hasn’t even officially revealed the helmets, a retailer accidentally did so I don’t know when they’re planning to do that. But when they do, we get to find out whether the fourth set is coming or not.

Not necessarily, if D-0 can be revealed separately from the rest of the wave, the fourth set can easily be separate from the rest of the helmets. No need to panic yet.

I think a new Veers is a safe assumption for the ATAT set, and I’m curious if they’ll use the new helmet from the Solo wave for him.

I would hope so, that helmet is far superior to the old one.

As @BigGuy4U says, they could also reveal it later. I don't think we 100% will know when it's confirmed to have been cancelled until april 15th comes and passes without the set coming out

Thanks! I updated my post to get the brickheadz date right.

Due to promobricks, 75274 is a TIE Fighter Pilot Bust (724 parts, no pictures available).

I knew it would be another helmet. The price being exactly the same couldn’t be a coincidence. That’s why I didn’t want to get my hopes up for a regular system set

[lego_guyon02]

So that's the last april set right? Kinda disappointing but at least it saves me yet another 70 euros, April wave is kinda trash imo

The bad news is: It only saves you 60 Euros ;)

Well then no duel on Exegol I guess :(

Yep. There must‘ve been a misunderstanding with the wishlist hints then...  Our last chance is that unknown retailer exclusive but I‘m definitely not getting my hopes up again.

This is quite an unspectacular wave I have to say. And not even a single minifig in any of the sets (unless you count the D-O fig). Maybe the D2C includes one, but it‘s most likely going to be a boring pilot anyway

Yep the D-O box art really sums up this April wave for me: cold, bland and uninspiring. But my purse says thank you.  

[Captain_MKA]

If the 3rd helmet was a Clone Helmet I would’ve been happier. It seems that the only helmet I may buy now is the Iron man if it looks good (or if they put out a Mando or Clone Trooper). If the wave tanks, maybe I’ll make my own. I am curious how they’ll do the pipes in the pilot helmet 

[LurkingEhlek]

Well now my May the Fourth list is now barren. I will probably just skip it. The helmets are okay, but it would not have hurt to throw in a figure of the characters, it is not like Fett, Stormtroopers or Tie Fighter Pilots would require a print or mold.

[BrickBob Studpants]

The helmets would‘ve been cool as a supplement to one of the other waves, but as their own wave?  That‘s like if they released the Constraction figures as their own waves rather than additional sets

I think the principal "misunderstanding" as you put it is that people keep looking for ways to rationalize the things they want into a manifest reality. As I've tried to say repeatedly, keep expectations low (and you can only be pleasantly surprised) but folks seem bound and determined to do the opposite...

And, I wasn’t necessarily referring to the summer wave. The wishlist I referenced covered the april wave too. 

What were you hinting at exactly? Or was there a TIE Pilot helmet on @ARC2149Nova‘s wishlist?

Shouldn't that be clear by now? Anakin's interceptor.

Then I must‘ve misremembered things because I thought that one was already confirmed before your statement... Whoops  Thanks for clarifying!

Well that's a disappointment... I would love Kylo Ren's helmet, I would buy it immediately. Darth Vader, Clonetrooper, Mandalorian, Preatorian Guard or even Phasma - all of them would be amazing choices, but TIE Fighter Pilot is not really a good choice... The good thing is, it has 100 more pieces for the same price as other helmets.

This is the first Star Wars wave in a very long time where I don't even have the slightest bit of interest in any of the sets

Exactly my thoughts. January wave did appeal to me a little, therefore 3 sets I bought - Mustafar duel, Mandalorian BP and Sith Trooper BP. The rest were either remakes, overpriced or unappealing. April wave and August wave... yikes. Not a single set that interests me.
