I couldn't agree more! The revealed anniversary figures look good. I'm very happy for Cal but ai can't believe they didn't give him a poncho. I'll have to get one for him. Hopefully he does come with BD-1 to help make up for it. Compared to Saw and Fives he does seem a bit underwhelming. Maybe he could have done with some dual-molded legs or arms or some side arm printing or something. Young Leia is just okay, nothing interesting. I had hoped she would at least come with Lola but if she had, it probably would have been shown here. Nien Nunb looks great but I agree that he probably should have had mid legs. Ezra looks excellent to me and I have zero problem with his blue eyes since they've been consistently doing this for characters like Hera and Ahsoka, and I don't mind the yellow for Maul but then again, they're also aliens so eh, I don't know. The new X-wing does look pretty good, very good parts useage on the back. I don't know, I already have the most recent X-Wing and TIE and I don't feel the need to get more. That set would really need to wow me in order to take budget away from something else and I just don't see that happening with everything else coming out this year from LEGO Star Wars alone.

I'm really loving the alternative builds for these sets, especially Doom-Blob. Man, the minifigs are all so good! I also concur with some of the others that it's a bit disappointing and concerning that Mr. Oz is nowhere to be found. Wven if he and Albert just use the gold outfits for season 2, I still eould have expected them to appear in at least one more set. Man, I'm surprised by how much I am loving that Panda mech! The quadrapedal form leaves something to be desired but the bipedal form more than makes up for it. Also, I didn't notice until now, but it includes a brand new armor piece for the shoulders. My immediate thought was "well, it looks like we're getting an MCU Vulture buildable action figure" but it's a cool piece. I look forward to seeing the Panda in action in the show. Hopefully it's like Logan's version of Z-Blob or Bunchu. I think the only thing that would have put this set over the top is if it included Sneak and a place for hom to sit on the Panda's shoulder or something since he's Logan's little friend. Edit: I totally forgot that we've already seen that new piece because it's also the face of the Z-Blob Knight Mech. It's still cool to see that new piece in more than one set and more than one color. Also, I think I know why I love this set so much. It reminds me a lot of the gorilla tribe from Chima. They were my favorite Chima faction and they had giant Gorilla mechs with wooden armor. Castle Nocturnia looks amazing, such an awesome build! I love how very Escher-esque it is and the sideways structures encourage you tocflip the entire build on its side for different experience. Extremely clever. Phil the Manticore looks excellent and I would have honestly taken him as his own little set. The price tag seems a bit iffy though. It's a bit lacking in size and scope for $200 but maybe the value will be more apparent once reviews start rolling out.

The red panda and panda sets are both fantastic and I love that they include the evil version of the characters with the regular versions. I also love that Izzy's Dream Creatures also comes with a normal red panda from the upcoming city sets. The mech-like panda build is so great. Based on the way the set is named, it seems to imply that Logan might turn into it but it could also just be his dream creature like all the other characters have. Also, I love that the panda has bamboo armor and a bamboo blaster!

Holy Exo-Force!!! That rollercoaster set is so good! The overall design is fantastic with the shaping and details but the best part is absolutely the recreation of the Exo-Force Stealth Hunter. The rest of the sets also look great, especially the excavator and dock with cargo ship. The tourist bus is great too.

It looks like the TIE pilot has arm printing which is nice. The MSE droid being included is funny to me. Overall, if you squint, it looks very bice but that center section of the cockpit feels a bit jumbled and just... weird. They did a good job making it noce and round on the sides but I feel like the front could have been handled more cleanly. Regardless, it's definitely a steep asking price and certainly not something I'm going to pick up, as much as I like the TIE Interceptor as a ship.

I'm very happy with that droid carrier, it looks much better than I expected and I love the use of some newer curved elements. It's also bigger than I was expecting too. I'm getting the buildable R2 for my wife and the Sith Infiltrator for me so this is going to be an easy clear of that $160 threshold to get it.

All 3 of these sets look amazing. I can't wait to see the rest of the wave.

Agreed. For that matter, I hope all the Night Troopers we get have xombie heads underneath(assuming we get some in the bear future). As much as I would love the Battle of Peridea to be a LAAT/le or Noti hut, it is probably the henge at the top of the nightsister tower. As for the Mandalorian bunker set, I would fully expect Paz to be the exact same figure but with a different build for his weapon, especially because the set is already going to include brand new figures for armored Moff Gideon and the Praetorian guards.

Same here. I would have snatched it ip for $100 but I never saw it for less than $140... I like the set but sheesh. As far as the price changes go, I'll reserve judgement until we actually get a look at the sets.

We still don't have any info. Some have suggested another highly memed LEGO Star Wars character like Rebel Friend, a hot tub Stormtrooper, Yarael Poof, or Yadel but that's all just wishlisting until we get more info.

Oh my, I just had a crazy thought: what if it's white, black, and the new reddish orange to fit the color scheme of the cross-theme Space initiative they've been doing this year and they slap the Space logo on the corner of the box! That would be absolutely wild but I'd be here for it Same, I'll never be able to afford it but I'm always happy tohappyeither new or returning Star Wars alien molds. It always sucks when they're a one-off in an old expensive set. It's too bad Ree-Yees isn't listed but I'll be happy to maybe have a chance of getting Max Reebo off bricklink for a less than eye-watering price. I would absolutely buy a Max Reebo mech. As for other possible figures, I feel like Sy Snoodles is sorely missing. That'd be quite an interesting figure to be sure. I don't see a need for a new Jabba mold but perhaps it's just a slightly updated version of the old one since that one was most certainly discontinued. I still need Jabba and Salacious Crumb in my collection so hopefully the price of both on the aftermarket will drop a bit. Better yet, I hope they appear in a more affordable Jabba's throne room set in the near future.

I think overall the Scimitar is a great set. From the front and the side, the fuselage is definitely too tall and the stacked playes don't look so great but from every other angle, especially top-down it looks excellent. I'm glad the Bloodfin is included, even if it's easily the worst version of the speeder we've gotten. Ditto for the probe droids(why are they barrels!?), still the play faerures look fun, the shaping on the back is decent and the figures look great. I can understand why people dislike the pupil-less eyes on Maul but I get why they changed it since pupils on a minifig are atypical. This way, he fits the more uniform style. I do agree though that he needed his hood and cape. Saw looks fantastic and I personally don't mind the green armor. LEGO doesn't produce the shade of greenish blue his armor has in Rogue One/Fallen Order but it at least kinda matches his appearance in Rebels. It's nice to see there are no stickers, only brick-built details and I think overall for the price this is a good value. The BARC speeder looks good but I still dislike that they went back to the old handlebars instead of the nicer, more accurate built up ones the past several BARCs have had. The side car looks nice and I'll be glad to have the pram but Kelleran Beq is the best part of this set. Hopefully we'll get offical images of the Droideka soon.

So I thought about what the buildable creature could be that young Leia would come with and my best guess would be a Lothcat. That just makes the most sense to me. I'm glad to see other leakers come out and nip that nonsense in the bud about the fake falconfan post. Yes, the dark Falcon and Jedi Bob Starfighter still sound ridiculous and while I would have preferred more canon sets, I'm still very intrigued and excited for something almost completely new. I really hope Jedi Bob's Starfighter is a wild color, like teal.

That's some interesting info and I agree about the new hose piece. I thought the same thing as soon as I saw it. I just recreated the new minifig-scale Droideka and I have to say, it's way better in person. I dare say it's actually the best one they've ever done. Looking at it straight on from the front and from a low level doesn't do it any favors. Also, contrary to what some have said, it actually CAN fold up into a ball, you just have to flip the legs upside down and remove the clear stand. As I've said before, I do hope the slope on the back is printed or even stickered to provide more details and make it a more desirable figure.

R2-KT is a random choice but I respect it. Young Leia is definitely the outlier but hopefully she at least comes with Lola. I won't bother hoping for a new mold but I could see them including her as a printed 1x1 round tile or something like that. I can see why they chose her since she was an important part of the Kenobi show and was sorely missing from those sets but most of us would rather she was replaced by almost anyone else. I had personally hoped we might get Dirge. Krrsantan would also have been incredible but the fact they didn't use him gives me some hope that we might see a set based on tBoBF finale someday soon. I so badly want a set with Boba(weilding his gaffi stick) and his Rancor with Krrsantan, Cad Bane, a couple Pykes and a Scorponek Droid. I really believe such a set would sell very, very well, regardless of what some people thought of the show or the finale because there is so much desireable stuff to pack into such a set.
