Renown

Part of me sincerely hopes and part of me sincerely expects one of the rumoured anniversary special sets, given the price points and considerable length of absence, to be a speeder bike chase with updated Endor Luke and some updated Scout Troopers with accurate helmets.

Finch Dallow looks nice enough to persuade me to keep a hold of my Resistance Bomber, was considering selling it. Wouldn't be too surprised if it is a dual microfighter set with the dreadnought as its opponent for example, would be nice to see Captain Canady in minifigure form.

Yavin 4 is a definite possibility, I agree. Especially seeing as it has already previously been in the works and now with the new rebel pilot helmet moulds, what better way to distribute some more individual helmet prints? Although I would still be happy if we got a red leader polybag.

Would personally like to see either a snowspeeder with updated canopy piece to accommodate the new helmet mould or finally a GR-75 medium transport, which could include Wedge, Hobbie and an assortment of Hoth Rebel troopers and Snowtroopers.

Interesting that the list suggests Porkins will feature in an X-Wing microfighter in the next wave. Hopefully this marks the start of releasing new rebel pilot helmets on the new mould. Suppose Porkins isn't too bad a place to start given his, erm, 'cultural significance' and the fact that his helmet design was worn by at least one other pilot in Rogue One, Vangos Grek, and I'm fairly certain it can be seen at Hoth as well.

It goes without saying that some of these 'vintage' themed sets will go flying off the shelves. I imagine they will look stunning in stores and am very happy to see LEGO doing something like this to mark the occasion. Can't believe I am saying this, but I may even buy a duplicate of one of these sets purely for the display value of the sealed box.

Potential speeder bike chase?

Managed to build one of the new X-Wings that I picked up recently. Very satisfied with the overall quality of the build and its aesthetic value on display. Definitely one to buy multiples of (once it is reduced of course).

Took advantage of the Argos 3 for 2 and picked up the AT-Hauler and two 75218 X-Wings. Looking forward to picking them up in a few days.

Managed to get 9516 Jabba's Palace, 75005 Rancor Pit, 75020 Jabba's Sail Barge and 75052 Mos Eisley Cantina from a friend for a cracking deal.

Stunning. Absolutely in awe at how fantastic it looks inside and out. Hats off to you.

I am so hyped to see it rebooted. Sincerely hope we get some decent sets.

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.

Fantastic effort. Looks great.

Excellent work.

Quite possible. Will be interesting to see how well received this show is and whether or not that could impact how LEGO go about creating sets for it. Seem to recall the last wave of Rebels sets sold notably poorly in comparison to other items on offer at the time.

Very nice work indeed.

Interested to hear anything regarding these. It seems logical to assume we'll hear something of substance as we approach the winter and rumours start to emerge as to what the winter wave will consist of.

Very nice work. Keep it up.

Picked up the 75174 Desert Skiff reduced on Amazon, building it at the moment.

Excellent work. You just need to acquire the Han Solo Mudtrooper polybag, a couple of Mimban Stormtroopers and maybe a couple of mudtroopers and I'd say that little diorama is perfect.

Really happy with the Conveyex minifigures, but pretty disappointed with the set itself. I'll likely buy it when it is discounted or during an offer somewhere around christmas, but definitely need to buy a couple more rangetroopers. Just hope someone is able to release a decent mod instruction to make it look a bit better refined at the front particularly. AT-Hauler is a nice set, I will more than likely be picking it up at some point. Just hope we eventually get an official AT-DT to go with it, as I'd prefer to create something of a Mimban diorama with it and fill out my mudtrooper ranks.

To my understanding, in the new canon, Chan has not been identified by photograph, like he was in legend, and he just observed the battle going on from Yavin 4. Other pilots such as Ryle Torsyn (a Y-Wing pilot with a standard blue alliance firebirds helmet) who we see in the cockpit of a fighter in A New Hope aren't even canonical.

Same here. I imagine they've used the hovertank pilot helmet mould.
