Renown normally lets us know when someone’s guessed right but normal they let us have fun speculating for a week or two

You can look at it two ways the adult sets (helmets/dioramas/midi scale ships) are new and interesting and something we might not have gotten in a system set. I can’t get over the feeling that a lot of the shows that haven’t had as much attention as they should have got has come about because they have more adults sets on the market which in years past before them would have been more sets possibly covering your BoBF or Andor or the bad batch. Also I got a helmet for my birthday and I was disappointed at how small they were considering how much they cost and my in laws bought if for me and they asked where the rest of it was. the cynic in me says these adult sets are a way of making more money than just doing a normal play scale set

Chances are Leia could be the fig for the sarlaac pit and the rumour of being with a creature was false or the person saw the sarlaac and was trying to be to cryptic or misleading. Someone said about the increased piece count for this set and only getting one barge so could be because we are getting a bigger sarlaac pit maybe to accompany the sail barge? it think R2-KT is a figure in an anniversary set rather than an anniversary figure in a set

I think it’s more likely that R2-KT is a figure in an anniversary set as opposed to being an anniversary figure. there is one rumoured to come out later in the year which is speculated to be similar to the falcon holiday diorama we got last year

The brick clicker post did speculate that either R2-KT or young Leia weren’t actually anniversary figures but just normal figures that comes with the set which could leave room for another anniversary figure

Not that there are any rumours of it happening but if Lego do a set on the upcoming Outlaws game before we get a mantis or a proper fallen order set I’ll be very very annoyed, i can’t believe the price of that book coming out. It’s actually mad how much that is. i don’t know if anyone’s mentioned I’ve watched someone build the new droideka on TikTok and it actually rolls looks kind of cool. But it’s really small for the price of it, but then again so are the helmets you’d think they would be bigger than what they are

We had the sandspeeder 10 years ago as well most battle packs build aren’t canon vehicles either. The GWP is good don’t get me wrong but it would have also made a great set as well my only problem is I don’t know if there is enough LSW I want to meet the threshold. Really that sucks, I wonder what other sets have been cancelled over the years and what we could have had. Maybe they’ll redo that speeder chase sets when they inevitably do a AotC anniversary

The only thing with the droid carrier is it could have been a perfect battle pack as a normal set rather than being tied in as a gwp. I still don’t know if it’s worth spending the amount to get in may. Might just see what kind of prices it goes for on eBay/bricklink and wait for other LSW sets to go on sale

Anniversaries used to mean something but with so much content it is true how far do you go with them? I think honestly they should stick to the anniversaries for LSW maybe just do a special gwp for the films

If I’m being optimistic an MTT. Realistically Januarys wave will be a battle pack and maybe another small set. There’s a chance of getting another Ahsoka set and maybe a follow up set for skeleton crew or the acolyte. there’s still so much of 2024 to come not even thinking about 2025 yet

I love when Lego can find like other uses for pieces like this. Like the Rivendell set for LOTR uses ice lolly mold for chairs and the Vikings set uses gold coloured hot dogs

It’s kind of like the eternals sets were out ages before the film came out due to covid

Wasn’t Skelton Crew supposed to come out last year but the writers strike caused the delay? if there wasn’t any issues with the strike I’m pretty sure the show was supposed to come out then we get the ship. I can see it selling badly if they do decide to sell it before it’s aired

Feel like it’ll be more 2025 if we do, IMO this show feels like it’s going to be marmite. People will either love it or hate it Lego might wait to see what kind of reception it gets before deciding to dedicate sets to it. There might be stuff still to come it’s very rare being in April and knowing all the sets for the year

It’s an opinion no one will ever know but I’ve always viewed the way battlepacks have always been marketed is for kids (look at legos promo pics). It’s a set where they can get cool troops at pocket money prices. It’s always personal choice if someone wants to buy 1 or a 1000 of them remember nobody forces anyone to buy any sets if you don’t quite like the figures and designs. Bricklink and eBay exist to buy/get rid of the desirable/undesirable figures from the bp you don’t like. I’ve always felt army building is more for warhammer rather than Lego but for those who do it fair play, must have a lot more disposable income than myself, I never get why all the streamers and YouTubers buy so many bps. I miss the days when we got 4 battle packs a year and they covered all factions. Depending on what it is, clones I prefer the 3 similar and 1 unique but like rebels I prefer 4 different figures completely. It’s the variety that’s key to their success as these days whilst the clones are cool give us some more variety Lego. at least the bp in June can give us a chance to get some beskar imperials and a few new Mandolorians.
