LEGO Star Wars 2024 Set Discussion - READ FIRST POST!!!

[ToaDraco]

I'm very excited by the prospect of a new ARC-170 and I'm a sucher for Eta-2s but man, having them be $45 now suuucks. I'm hoping they finally revolutionize the cockpit. The old piece had a good run but it's long past time to retire it.

The Interceptor better include Grevious, Magnaguards, Palps, Dooku, Anakin and Obi-Wan and a moulded buzz droid to justify that kind of price.

I would honestly just be happy for a new Buzz Droid build or with special molds. LEGO absolutely had the parts inventory now to do a more accurate one close to appropriate scale. 

...

Wait, it's Ashoka's!? Well that just made it even more exciting because I missed out on her Delta-7B back in the day and it has been a sore spot in my Jedi Starfighter collection. I would have also been hyped by a new blue Interceptor for Obi-Wan or a green one for Anakin. That said, I hope it comes with an additional figure. I could easily see it be another named clone like Jessie or someone else to entice people to fork over $45 for a Jedi Interceptor.

Thanks for the info, Foggy!

But, oof... Those prices/part counts are rough. I know Lego's not cheap, nor is Lego Star Wars in general, but I have to do adult things like paying rent that come first, and I have to be selective of what Lego I can budget. That being said, I hope Dooku can slip into one of those sets... He's a major villain in multiple movies and a TV series, and he hasn't been in a set in a decade!

Absolutely. Dooku is probably the most significant character to go this long without a minifigure re-appearance, and I'd sorely like to add him to my collection!

FoggyFate, will you post the Ninjago 2025 set list ?

Yeah with 290 pieces lol, something is wrong there 

Something is seriously wrong. In 4 years the price jumped 50%. This is not inflation. This is not normal. This set has 42 pieces more than the last interceptor, but unless that's 7 more minifigs, this set is in no way worth it. I'm not a big "it needs a billion figures" or a big PPP guy, but $45, for a set that was $30 four years ago, for what's assumably the same thing- that's the most egregious one I've seen, and that's even considering stuff like the Hoopty and X-jet. Lego's been getting a lot of slack for stuff that doesn't really matter, but this is the big issue. 

$70 for an ARC could actually be pretty reasonable. Might be a buy from me- I'm a big ARC fan. My big request here is getting three pilots.

Midi-scale home one for $70 is pretty solid as well. Unfortunately, I didn't get the executor, which has snowballed into me not really collecting these sets. Though I am glad we're FINALLY getting the exterior of the ship. A playscale one to go against the new ISD would be great, but this is also a good move- albiet one I won't personally buy.

$30 4+ mando's N-1 is GENIUS. Great move by lego. Throw in Mando, Grogu, and Moff Gideon and it's like the perfect 4+ set. 

Two left yet unrevealed- the $50 midi-ship (that's what it's got to be, right?) and the $100 set. My hope is a nice $100 playset or flagship vehicle alongside a small diorama, but I think it's most likely a republic ship for the $50 18+ and a buildible droid of some kind for the $100 set given the PPP.

Welcome to eurobricks, though you might want to ask that question in a ninjago thread.

I ran the list in my head and I think you're right. They've been good at keeping the OT main cast in sets recently- not necessarily the cheapest ones, but at this point that's no longer realistic. The mandoverse, most prequel or TCW main cast, and even the Rebels and Sequels characters have been done since Dooku. 11 years is NUTS.

(On the bright side, he's pretty easy to make a solid purist custom of, but that's a half-measure)

 

Thanks for the info, Foggy. Hope there's a good reason for that interceptor price. If not... this may finally be the straw that breaks the camel's back for me lego-wise. My purchases have already been significantly lower this year. I'll pick up sets, but these prices have brought me past the standard "oh, I'll buy this because it looks cool" that I used to be at. And even then, I have a much easier time just waiting for discounts than before.

I've got to say the Hoopty and X-Jet are in the exact same basket, and the last Grevious Starfighter as well. They're all absolutely absurd "how can that be the actual RRP" sets.

What's more, Yoda's starfighter is USD $5 more than Obi-Wan's for fewer pieces and fewer Minifigures (not to mention no new mould). That's not as bad as this new one being a full $10 more than Yoda's, but there's just no justifying a lot of these things.

I mean anniversaries really don’t mean much to the Lego Star Wars team, they kinda just do what they do when they wanna do it.

Agreed, the only anniversaries they really follow are their own. Even the OT films which get more attention in this regard only have a couple of sets for each film (the only ROTJ anniversary playset was the TIE Bomber which was much more prominent in ESB ...), the 2003 Clone Wars anniversary got sets from the 2008 show, and this year's Sith Infiltrator is listed as a TLG anniversary only and the fact it's also the 25th anniversary of TPM is just a happy accident. Yet many people are still expecting a large contingent of ROTS sets to drop next year...

Yeah, I'm already worried the ARC-170 will be all we're getting, but I'll choose to have a bit of hope. I'm not expecting something amazing like a UCS of Anakin's ETA-2, or the all-ROTS summer wave that some people want, but if we can get either a large Mustafar playset or a "high ground" diorama I'll be pretty happy.

Finally a 170 LEGO has been pretty generous with clones in recent years so I’ll guess three new pilots and a droid.Not opposed to them making the open helmets with the visors as a molded part of the helm like the resistance ones, If possible of course.Ahsoka’s ship in universe has a nice design and has some color on the cockpit too so that’s kind of exciting to see Hopefully that means they revamp it a bit.

That's true, but this one is just such a direct comparison to the previous one. At least the others are different vehicles. This one is just so easy to point out the blatant increase.

I almost think this is gonna be a smaller ETA-2 and a vulture droid, but I also think that'd be super hard to pull off with 290 pieces- for an official set, it'd be small enough and have few enough figures that we're back in the same boat value-wise. But at least it's not so obviously overcharged as a direct "the red one is 50% more even though the inflation was only... 21.4%".

I did that calculation at the end and... dang. My point stands- lego's still overcharging a ton- but man. 21.4%. In a few years.

[wesker]

I'm a little disappointed the Jedi Interceptor is not a Utapau remake which rules out our chances of getting R4-G9 and Tion Meddon next year but having Ahsoka's Interceptor instead is a nice compromise. I'm curious if this version will come with her re-imagined Clone Wars costume from Tales of the Jedi and the Ahsoka flashbacks. Hopefully the set will throw in at least one other characters besides her and the droid. I'd love a new Clone Wars Anakin with accurate colors for his costume this time. Its about time we also got a new ARC-170. Hard to believe its been 15 years since the last release. Is it too much to ask that it comes with Kit Fisto again?

While I don't expect Lego to go all out for the 20th Anniversary of ROTS I still hope they have a few surprises in store for May. It would be a shame to cancel the diorama series without releasing one based on the Mustafar duel. The Invisible Hand, Office and Senate duels would be great options as well. It will also be interesting to see if we get another prequel UCS set next year. If they continue to release them every two years (Gunship in 2021, Venator in 2023) then we should be due for another. The Turbo Tank would be a great choice to tie in with ROTS.

Knowing LEGO, next year's UCS sets will both be based on The Phantom Menace and we'll get a UCS Eta-2 in 2026

Oddly enough, I'm kinda expecting a UCS Infiltrator next year. They keep releasing a UCS for the movie with an anniversary the previous year (Venator being an exception), and a Scimitar would work well for a $240 UCS given its actual size.

@안개의 운명 do you know what is 75404 +18 set?

Is it helmet or another midi scale?

This seems likely to be another midi. Dioramas haven't yet been as cheap as $50, nor have helmets recently (and they are supposedly retired). I'm assuming it's a midi ship around the same size as the current Invisible Hand.

Add me to the list of people who badly want Dooku. It's LONG overdue. I could even see him being included in a duel set with Anakin, Obi-Wan and Palpatine so it can also be a RotS anniversary set.

Oh my, a $240 UCS Scimitar would be an absolute dream, and outside of like a $200 Eta-2, might be the only other UCS I'd actually want to buy since it's my 2nd favorite Star Wars ship right after the Firespray(Slave I).

Midiscale Home One is fantastic and absolutely worthy of the midiscale treatment. I've been wanting the midiscale sets for some time but haven't gotten any of them yet as minifig-scale stuff is my priority and I haven't had the extra budget for them, but some day...

Me too! I need a new Clone Wars Anakin with the shoulder pauldrons printed and the colors from the ahsoka flashback costume. I would pay 45$ if he's in the Ahsoka set.

[ToaDraco]

In-hand images of Jedi Bob's Starfighter along with the Onyx Cinder have appeared, along with the figures.

Jedi Bob's Starfighter is huge, way bigger than previous Delta-7s and it looks great!

The Onyx Cinder is missing one of the front engine pods, but it looks fantastic, though I'm a little disappointed that it's dark bluish gray, not black. 

Jedi Bob has fake playwear printing which is a nice touch and the Skeleton Crew looks fantastic. I'm glad Jude Law's figure gets leg printing at least.

I always love the smell of fresh rumors early in the morning (evening, but whatever)! The excitement, the energy. It’s feeling good right now.

 

Ashoka’s Interceptor - a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one. A figure of R7 seems all but confirmed, and I’ll be very happy to have him. I would love a ToJ or CW S5 Ahsoka, hopefully using midi-legs at long last… I expect her to reuse her live-action headpiece, which—while not perfect—is closer than the Shaak Ti headpiece. I hope, in addition, for a CW armor Anakin, Dooku or Grievous, and maybe, just maybe, either Jesse, Kix, or Appo. That said, I expect just a P2 Captain Rex—hard to believe we’d see a day after 2013 where some (me) would be annoyed to see Rex in multiple sets. $45 is a lot for what it sounds like, overpriced even, so definitely a pickup on 50% discount. A disappointment to be sure, but an expected one.

 

ARC-170 - *insert GIF of “Yeeesss” from Napoleon Dynamite* Glad to see it making its return after so long. Sounds to be smaller than what it should be, but no complaints here. I’m happy to have a Republic starfighter soon. Perhaps the rumors about Bly and the 327th in an ARC-170 will come true this time? Kinda hope it’s based on the battle of Courscant, though, as I that scene offering more potential for minifigs that interest me.

 

Midi-Scale Home One - definitely needed after so long. I wish it was a big playset to counter the ISD from this year, but I won’t complain about more midi-scale. Still, the lack of figures  in the collection and the 18+ tax hurts, but I can’t wait to see images.

 

4+ N-1 - I don’t buy 4+ (I’m not 4 years old—yes, I know, it’s rather shocking) so I don’t care about it. I expect one exclusive figure to get adults buy toddler toys (yeah I said it); it’d probably be Axe Woves or the Armorer if I had to guess.

 

Predictions/“Reasonable Speculation” - $100 set, if not Andor or Acolyte based, perhaps it could be another duel starfighters set? Like say a Y-Wing vs Vader’s TIE? That being said, for my ears’ sakes alone, I hope we get a lot of RotS sets. $50 midi set might be the Home One for all we know, so let’s not get too set on it being $70. That said, I don’t know what ship would fit best for either price, but perhaps the other midi ship could be a Nubian Royal Starship or—hear me out—a First Order Dreadnought (from TLJ; this is probably my most wanted midi-scale ship besides Home One).

Just saw this as I was about to post.

I wish more than Jedi Bob leaked… is there some gentlemen’s agreement to let certain accounts leak stuff before anyone else of which I’m unaware? Anyway, that starfighter does look huge, probably longer than Obi-Wan’s, which maybe will make that $40 feel better…?

As for the Cylinder, I thought it was black, so knowing it’s really grey makes it look less appealing to me. That one kid’s oversized black hairpiece looks charming. The figures look generic, which is a fault of the show and not the LEGO set. Glad that we’re getting something from Skeleton Crew, though.

[BrickBob Studpants]

Sounds like a decent wave, albeit nothing spectacular.

• Ahsoka‘s Jedi Interceptor has never been done before, so that‘s a plus, but I hope for a cool new minifig here to sweeten the deal.
• A new ARC-170 is long overdue. Fingers crossed for dual-moulded helmets and a new/updated Jedi minifig!
• Home One: Good choice for a midi-scale ship!
• N-1: If it was Mando‘s, it‘d be kinda hilarious to see a 4+ Mandalorian set  Not expecting anything new out of this one though.

Now I‘m curious what they‘re doing with the March and May waves (if those will still be a thing, that is). Maybe we‘ll get a BP or two then?

[ToaDraco]

FINALLY we get a full look at the Jedi Bob's Starfighter set and, yup, I love it. The Ackbar Trooper is nothing special and now we know why the ship doesn't have an astromech port: because of course Jedi Bob's droid is a GNK... makes sense from a LEGO meme perspective, but boy has the LEGO Star Wars community run the GNK droid joke into the ground.

I wake up to find this?! 
 

The lack of a battlepack is a tragedy. But on the bright side we have a larger January wave. (With no cheaper sets🤬🤬🤬) This little war we’ve been having over whether the next Battlepack should be Night-Troopers or Stormtroopers unfortunately ended in mutual destruction.

Ahsoka’s ETA-2 is interesting, especially in a year where it’s a major anniversary of Hopefully we get a named member of the 501st (Jesse or Kix!) or TCW Anakin in that set to make the price more worth it. General Kenobi would make me instantly buy it.

ARC-170 is easily my most anticipated set. I’m going to guess: Oddball, Clone Pilot, a Jedi and maybe a Clone Trooper (5th Fleet Security I beg)

The fact that we’re having 2 Republic Starfighters in one wave is something that I don’t think has happened since 2015. I like that this basically completes the requirements for a republic army. We’ve now got Clone Starfighters, Jedi Starfighters, Gunship, AT TE and Speeders. The Clones have now maxed out the amount of equipment they could possibly have on shelves at one time. And yet the Clone Bros will still demand more.

Hopefully. The lack of a battlepack is kinda dampening my hype compared to to previous January waves.

Midi Home one is very intriguing. 

Can’t wait to find out the Fig-lists and what the other sets are.

@Mandalorianknight Yeah, Lego’s really pushing it this wave. 

There’s one thing that I can notice with this wave. There’s a significant lack of Empire and Ground Force stuff.

 

Thank you for the info @FoggyFate, you wouldn’t happen to know whether we are getting a battlepack or any imperial stuff next year at all would you?

[Llewop]

So it’s wasn’t a clone mon calamari they are Ackbar troopers so opposite of stormtroopers

im happy about the rumors for January but I’m going to be skeptical just because of some of this years rumors.

for those who might say the ARC170 is quite cheap it’ll probably be a smaller scale the same was the Ties and Xwings have been in recent years which I prefer. But for Ashokas interceptor for the price I hope there is more figures at least. For me needs to be at least 3 plus droid otherwise that price is shocking
