LEGO Star Wars 2023 Set Discussion - READ FIRST POST!!!

[Nootella]

No one talks about the builds but the bunker set sounds cool with the ability to integrate the battle pack builds in.

Can't wait to see if we get thrawn and ezra in a set next year, hopefully with the imperial gunship build

Also hope we can army build wolfpack and kashyyyk clones within the coming year or so

Shouldn't this discussion move to the 2024 thread now?

Also any news on of the clones in the battle-pack and the 327th set will have helmet holes and printed kamma’s (I don’t mind the new version but I much prefer the holes helmets and having physical kamma’s)

Wait… imperial gunship? What when where?

The only flaw I see there is that, why do we have 501st saturation when they’ve only come in 1 set and they are giving us 3 sets with shock troopers in 8 months

We got the $30 501st pack from 2020 through the end of 2022, then the $20 501st specialists and 332nd packs in 2023. For Shocks, we got the Coruscant Guard LAAT/i in September 2023, then the $30 Clones vs. Droids and Grogu's escape sets in January and March of 2024 respectively. 
We got a lot of 501st over a longer period of time, and all of their sets are $20-$30; the only army-builders for Shocks are the two $30 sets coming next year.

The battle pack Clones are three P2 Shinies and a P2 Shock; we have known this for white a while now. No 327th have been credibility rumoured as of yet.

No confirmation - Just speculation based on price, missing desirable Minifigs, and the presence of the Imperial police gunship in Ahsoka.

For some reason I feel like the 150$ set may be an updated MTT. The 170$ set screams Chimera/Thrawn's flagship to me. 

I was thinking it could be a Juggernaut, considering that we have been getting Republic vehicles around the $150 price point for the past few years, and since we are long overdue for one.

Juggernaut could make some sense, since the AT-TE may supposedly retire by the end of next year.

This is my guess. Comes off the fact I think Wolfpack Troopers are coming sooner rather than later.

Just saw a leak on instagram for a $40 Z-95 Clone Starfighter 75388 for august 2024. Apparently Bly and the 327th are involved?

Holy moly, big if true.

No reputable leaker has mentioned this, which I find strange. 

Can’t see this being true BUT I said exactly the same on April fools lol

MTT is possible. The fact they’ve now got a Droid Battle Pack type on the market suggests a slow transition to more Separatist vehicles.

Fair! I do like when sets combine with others. Moreover, both will combine well with the Mando Fang Fighter and the Spider Tank too! 

On that basis we would need Grogu, granted he does come in a Mando s3 set in 2024 (Barc Speeder Escape). A Grogu/IG Mech would fit perfectly! It was rumoured this year right at the start of 2023 rumours…wonder where that went!

I don't wish to spoil any further surprises.

Cheeky devil. Atleast you say “surprises” so I think there’s some juicy stuff coming!

That 150$ set is a regular color scheme gunship I’m CALLING IT!

I don’t think so…two play scale Gunships on shelves would be…shocking…in a good way. 

[BrickBob Studpants]

Oh boy, Mando S3 finale sets!! And Bly!!! This is not a drill!!  These all sound SO good! 2024 is shaping up to be AMAZING.

Seriously, if Indy hadn’t been cancelled, 2024 could easily beat 2023 as my favourite LEGO year

2024 thread is now up. I've decided to just let discussion happen regardless of what year a set is released. Having the year attached to the topic is just a convenient way to break up the discussion.
