I think it will take time that the AT-ST awakens something in me and maybe I need to see the walker live in the store first. But for me its the perfect balance between size and price.

I really like the U-Wing and this looks great 😊. Always wanted one in the UCS era.

I use this quote to complain that we didn't had a B-Wing for ages 😄. But I also feel that this great ship (for me) don't get much love from the franchise in general. Besides Return of the Yedi we also had a B-Wing in Rebels (I guess) which was a long time ago and had a glimbse of it in TRoS. And that's it.

I tried to say that Jango's Ship is one of the iconic ones of the prequel triology and Lego is having a clone year which I guess is also impacted by the anniversary of RotS from the PT. Makes sense to bring the set as an UCS and than also add this one again as an playscale set, which already is on the marked just in another colour (low hanging fruit). Of course Lego could use the slot for something else but whats remaining from the PT which wasn't already released in the last years?

The ship is part of the Triology. And kids have or should watch the two first movies before seeing the last in the cinema. E.g. AFOL parent watches the "Star Wars memory movie as a child" again in the cinema now with their children. The parent buys the UCS set and the children get the playset.

This year is the 20 years anniversary of Revenge of thr Sith. The movie was also shown again in the cinema. For me it makes sense that Lego release Jango's ship for the adults and also for the kids in this year. It fits the triology, it is partially a rerelease of the old UCS Slave 1 as an updated version from Jango instead from Boba. And Lego already have the playscale version and just need to recolour this. Which I think is a cheapter production process than creating an new set.

I guess Lego's goal is to get more customers by offering the same or similar set in a different format for different customer groups.

Lego could do both like they did with Jango's ship. One for the kids and one for the adults as an cheaper MBS-set like the starship collection is a cheaper UCS version.

I think only the Maul Series and Mando Movie are scheduled for next year. And Mando had already alot of sets from the series and Maul is not a new character. Therefore I believe we won't get more sets than usual.

Finished Andor yesterday. Overall fantastic series 😃. I feel that episode 8 and 9 were already the final of the series and E10-12 more of a closure for the great characters and the road to Rogue One. Which feels now even more devastating with the last scene from Andor. The series has a great build up of at the beginning more chaotic but necessary rebellion against a dark empire. With fantastic characters on both sides. I liked the more gray aspect that the good guys sometimes have to make ugly, not noble decision to archive the necessary goals. The slow-burn episodes were also important to give the story and characters more room. I'm also fine with two compact, great seasons instead of more as planed. Might worked as well but maybe not and also not sure if Disney would be willing to approve the budget.

Lego could still make sets for Andor but like you said it is more a series for adults and there is also not so much set potential. Besides Tie Avenger Lego could bring the Fondor or B2-EMO but both have not such an impact in S2 (I still want both as a lego set 🤩). Therefore I get what you are saying but I hope you a wrong. We will know when the wave of 2026 drops.

Yes, Jaws is a classic and therefore on another level like Andor. And I thought about the big Eiffel Tower from Lego which is to much money for children and possibly not very suitable as a playset. Andor was already very mature in S1 and we still got sets and also the Tie Avenger could be possible if no other Tie would be in Lego's pipeline. But I understand also your point and it might be that Lego stops (I hope not) because Andor getting too mature and so much other content is comming around.

Thats a good point but Lego still publish sets which are (in my opinion) only for adults. Jaws, Eiffel Tower etc. Of course thats another Level like Andor but I believe (and hope) that Lego won't stop publishing sets from this series. And they could for example make the Tie Avenger as a playset because it is a Tie Fighter. Regarding the leaked Battle Pack, I hope for future Death Troopers from Rogue One 🤗.

In a another way the OT had also dark scenes (Vader, Jabba) but those felt more like fiction than the scene in Andor. And Lego has a +18 market. Therefore I think this scene won't rule out further sets (e.g. B2EMO or Fondor as part of the Starship Collection like the MF).

Maybe Lego is playing it save and first realize sets which are connected with Rogue One. And later more sets like the TIE (and Fondor!!!!!!). Hopefully K2S0 will look better when all pictures are out there because I really wanted to buy the fella but right now the set is too ugly.
