This thread collects everything you think you know about 2024 LEGO Star Wars sets; discuss your opinions here! Please read before posting: Stay on target. No wish lists. Remember that this topic is for discussing sets that are rumored to come in 2023. If it's something you wish to see or something you think that we will see sometime in the future, but not something that's actually rumored to be a 2023 set, then it is pure speculation and it belongs in the Future Star Wars Sets topic. (We also have a topic for minifigures you want to see, which might be more appropriate.) Please be civil. Remember that we come from different countries, cultures, languages, and backgrounds. Give everyone the benefit of the doubt and don't be a jerk. No fighting. We strongly suggest you refrain from criticizing sets on the basis of what you imagine they're going to look like. Wait till we have pictures before you start complaining. And even then, think twice about it If you post news in this thread, it will not be transferred over to the 2023 News thread. Be smart, think about what you are posting and in what thread you are posting. This IS your warning! If you have substantiated news, you can post it in the 2023 News thread. If your news is not able to be substantiated your post will be removed. If you choose to post fabricated information; you can expect to be banned. It's not worth the fifteen minutes of internet fame. Do not post watermarked or confidential images; they will be removed and the poster will be dealt with appropriately. As stated in our Member Guidelines: This topic is for general Lego Star Wars set discussion. We will make a new topic when we feel it is necessary. If your post was on the boards, and now it's not...there is a good chance it was either hidden or moved. Off topic posts, placing info in the wrong thread, or a request from LEGO to remove something; these are all possible reasons why something may have disappeared.

Stationed near Corellia, the old Republic space station Valor has become a hub of information gathering. Clandestine meetings lead to vital intelligence being passed along to Rebel, Imperial, and Mercenary leaders. But secret rendezvouses are not always safe. Looking to make a public statement, our shadowy figure blows up a part of the space station. Each faction lost a key intelligence asset that day. While looking to fill the hole in their intelligence, each team learns of an information broker who might be willing to help them... for the right price. Armed with the knowledge that this broker can be found on Rorgam in the Terr'skiar Sector each team sets off to find him or her. Between the Imperial Warlords fighting for control and Isard sending commands from Coruscant no one seems to know what to do. The ISB has tasked us with re-establishing an intelligence network in the mid-rim. Secure the hyperspace lanes between here and Rorgam! Wedge is off helping Ackbar secure the Rebels' positions across the galaxy, Luke is searching for information on the Jedi, and we're left with little intelligence. Time to follow up on that lead from Rorgam! Stormtroopers being called back to protect Moffs and the Rebels are occupied with Imperial Remnants, this is a great time to be a Mercenary! Though we should work to secure our position. Someone track down that lead on Rorgam! Welcome! Welcome to Mysteries. A Star Wars RPG run by Eurobricks. Our goal is to provide a fun place for Star Wars builders to meet each other, grow in their building skills, and have fun playing the game. Mysteries is a strategy Lego Star Wars RPG set in the Expanded Universe/Legends timeline of Star Wars. Our game is focused on the Legends timeline and characters, but if you want to include elements from the Disney timeline like the Mandalorian that's fine as long as it doesn't contradict the Legends main events. Some of those events are detailed in the Timeline section below. This is a strategy RPG but we also want to help builders improve their skills. Any level of builder is welcome to participate and as a community we'll try to provide instructive feedback on how to take your MOCs to the next level. Players choose 1 of 3 teams to join as they seek to assert their influence over the galaxy and solve its mysteries. Each team has access to different parts of the galaxy and different bonuses that can be applied to their member's builds. Freebuilds can be any size and are allowed any anytime. Special challenges happen regularly and will have building requirements and provide bonuses. Episodes happen as teams meet the requirements for each episode. The rules were slightly updated as of 14.6.23. You can see the old intro posts here. Solve the Galaxy's Mysteries! The Mysteries RPG will start during 5 ABY. And we'll progress along the timeline as challenges and episode contests happen. You will join one of three teams, each looking to exert influence on the galaxy. The teams are The Light Side, The Dark Side, and The Mercenaries. The first mystery will be solved by reaching Rorgam in P10. The first team to reach P10 by controlling P9, P11, O10 or Q10 will trigger a special challenge. We will have smaller challenges between now and then. A Brief History Lesson The Clone Wars ended in 19 BBY (before battle of Yavin) The first Death Star is destroyed in 0 BBY/ABY The second Death Star is destroyed in 4 ABY (after battle of Yavin) The Lusankya leaves Coruscant in 7 ABY The Thrawn Trilogy takes place 9 ABY *The Mandalorian discovers the Child in 9 ABY *Since this is part of the Disney timeline it is not ranked as highly as Legends events The Jedi Academy Trilogy takes place 11 ABY Star Wars Mysteries is not part of Star Wars canon and therefore liberties will be taken in regards to characters, timeline, and stories. But we are going to use the Legends timeline as a base from which to work. Getting Started Choose a team and announce it in the appropriate team thread. Once you choose a team you won't be able to switch so choose wisely! Create your sig-fig and fill out the Character Form. Your sig-fig will be used to keep track of your stats within Mysteries. We encourage using him or her in your MOCs for storytelling purposes, but it's not a requirement. Read up on the Core Rules here! This subforum, Star Wars Mysteries, is used for this game. As such, you should only post your entries to Star Wars Mysteries here. When posting a build for your team please include a prefix following this format [Grid-Team]. For example, [P7-LS] New Republic Forces for the Light Side, [M10-DS] ISD Bridge for Dark Side, or [S10-MC] Cantina Brawl for the Mercenaries. After you post on EB make sure to fill out a Submission Form so your builds can count toward your team's points. A sheet with all the public data from those form can be viewed on the Public Sheet.

Hmm, thanks for point this out. The sheet just needed to be refreshed. It should be good now. I need to look into how to get it to auto-refresh. As for grid control, it's the first to 100. After that, it's either increments of 50. So the next team to 150 or 200 would be able to re-take or re-assert control. As Thaum said.

I think it depends on what you intend to do with the figs. If you're going to display them then keeping the torso and legs attached is probably best. As you said constant assembly and disassembly could weaken the torso. If you're going to do minifigure customization I'd store them separate. That's what I do. Parts will break every now and then, but I think keeping them stored separate has been best. I'm in France and the best option I've found is Stanley. I buy them off Amazon when there's a good sale.

Or is it possible the leakers got it wrong and R2 KT is the fig instead of Young Leia?

Do you mean the Manta Ray part?

Guessing what sets we'll see next is too close to wish-listing. That's keep that in the appropriate thread please.

Looks a lot like Ferrix! And your lighting looks excellent. And your brickwork is phenomenal.

Episode 5 is live! It's a shorter episode length because the annual May the 4th contest will be starting on... May the 4th. So make sure to get your entries built before the May 27th deadline!

This is an interesting discussion, but it doesn't exactly belong here. Either wrap it up or start a new topic to finish the discussion on UCS sets.

L3-37: Congratulations, you're liberated. Scoot. ... I don't know. Free your brothers or sisters or something. Unbeknownst to her, L3's words would have repercussions 15 years later. Some of the droids inspired by her act in "liberating" them escaped Kessel and have carried on a quiet rebellion across the galaxy. Until know their rebellion has been quite, simple acts like poisoning the drinks of their masters or tempering with the repulsers on a speeder. But something has changed and now beings on planets everywhere are facing open rebellion by droids of all types! Dark Side Our facilities on Rasterous have reported droid trouble. We can't afford to have any delays with their shipment of supplies with the Rebels trying to exploit any perceived weakness. Find and deactivate those droids at once! Mercenaries What's that pounding on the door? Oh, it's a droid wanting equal pay or it's weight in gold? Blast it for me will you? Light Side A droid has taken hostages on Thustra? And another has disabled our X-wings on Tierfon? We have enough to worry about with the Empire still trying to destroy us. Quick, send some ships to deal with the problem before it gets out of hand! Your efforts are futile. We will have our revenge on the lifeforms! Contest Specifics: No gimmicks, just double points! Each person can build in each category up to 2 times for a total of 8 entries maximum. Entries will receive a score based on the sector entered for the contest. If you submit an entry for R10 your points will be placed in R10. Cat A: Show what kind of ship the errant droids stole from Kessel. Was it a fighter, a freighter, or something else? Did they land it successfully or did it crash? No need to build an entire ship, you can build a partial one and show it crashed on a planet's surface. Just make sure you pick a planet in the sector you're building in. There's great opportunity for Storytelling points here. Cat B: Show a droid liberating another droid(s). Is it a protocol droid removing the restraining bolt from an R2 unit? Or is in an R5 unit communicating code with a binary lifter? Cat C: Not every droid is convinced that freedom is what it wants. Show what happens when a droid rejects the idea of rebellion. Is it tortured by the other droid(s)? Or does it convince the rebellious droid that it's acts of violence are illogical? Cat D: Repercussions! Show want happens when a droid goes rogue. Is the pool filled with hyperdrive coolant instead of water? Are the pets set free? Is the owner murdered in his sleep? The Rules: All entries must be entered using this form: Link to Submission Form All rules in the Core Rules topic apply unless otherwise stated in this explanation or the rules above. There are no restrictions on the size/form/content of the builds other than the specifics described above. Each person can enter up-to 8 MOCs for this contest, 2 for each category. All entries will earn XP for their team based on their score. Winners will earn additional XP. The Episode will run from Apr 13th to May 27th. As long as it is still May 27th somewhere in the world, you can still enter. Entries posted after the deadline will be disqualified from the episode and will only earn normal XP points. The criteria by which your MOCs will be scored is 1) Storytelling, 2) Aesthetics, and 3) Technical Ability. You can earn up to 10 points in each category for a max total of 30 points per entry. This episode/contest is open to all players of Mysteries, even if they joined EB or signed up for the game after the episode has begun. All entries must be new creations, not posted anywhere else prior to the start date of this episode. You can use creations for this contest in other forums or contests, but it should not have been displayed before the start date for this contest. All entries must be built from real LEGO or with Lego Digital Designer. 3rd party parts may be allowed if used to customize characters and in small quantities. I.E. guns or decals. 3rd party bricks are not allowed to be intentionally used (if you have a Megablock 2x2 brick in a wall of Lego bricks you won't be penalized). You may do a 'full-blown photo edit' with all the text, effects, background compositing, support erasing, and other effects on one picture. All your other pictures may have no editing other than color adjustment or background removal for a solid-color background. For obvious reasons, any photo editing that changes the shape, functionality, or color (not tint or adjustment, but actual color) of a LEGO piece is prohibited,. All entries are considered WIPs (Works In Progress) until the deadline passes. Until the deadline has passed, you are allowed to change and improve your MOC. The Prizes: The team with the most points pre-bonuses will get an extra 10 XP in the sector of their choice. The team with the 2nd most will get an extra 5 XP.

No... unfortunately not

All good, that was the gimmick of this challenge, the random lost-on-the-hyperspace-lane placement of points.

As each team race to control the asset in P10 they send a fleet of ships to secure their next forward base. But something happened to the hyperdrives! Now each team has a crew lost in space. They will need to use their wits and skills to get out of this mess. Dark Side Our ships are out there somewhere. Thank goodness the Imperial training manual has proper procedures for just such an occasion. As long as our troops keep a cool head and follow the guidelines all will be well. Mercenaries What!?! Did someone forget to refill the coolant on our hyperdrives? Once we get out of this mess someone is going to have hell to pay! Light Side Adrift in space you say? Well what else is new. After all we faced in rebellion against the Empire a little hyperdrive trouble shouldn't slow us down too much! Contest Specifics: Each team can build in any of the 3 categories. But they will need to work as a team to make sure their builds don't overlap. At least one build for each of the categories has to be entered before a second can be built in any of them. For example, the Light Side could build 1 entry for Cat A, 1 entry for Cat B, and 2 entries for Cat C. But they couldn't build 3 entries for Cat C and none for Cat A or Cat B. Another example, the Dark Side could build 1 entry for Cat A and 1 entry for Cat B and none for Cat C. The idea behind this rule is to foster teamwork and comradery. Cat A: Show what happened to the hyperdrive. Maybe your nav-computer had a malfunction and dropped you out of space too early. Maybe a Porg chewed through a critical wire. This scene should be set on a ship if applicable (think inside the Millennium Falcon) or in space if it's a small snub fighter. Cat B: You managed to land on a planet's surface. Show what the surface looks like and how you manage to set up a temporary base camp. Cat C: You are not alone! Pirates are in the area and have found you. Show either a scene in space or aboard your ship where you repel the pirates. Or show a scene on the planet's surface with a conflict between you and the pirates. Each team will pick a starting point from a square they already control. The Dark Side can pick from O17, L10, M10, or N10. The Light Side can pick from P6 or H16. The Mercs can pick from T10, S10 or K5. Each team should post here which square they want to pick as their starting point by Jan 15th. At the end of the challenge, using a random number generator, a route will be chosen and an end point 2 jumps from the starting square. Please consult the map for strategic reference. For example, if the Mercs choose K5 as their starting point it could be that the starting point would be Borosk and two jumps from there could be Qiilura in K7. Or if the Dark Side chose M10 as their starting point it could be that Kattada would be the starting point and two jumps from there could be Quellor in N12. You can depict any kind of planet. If it doesn't match your ending square we'll assume it's an uncharted one The Rules: All entries must be entered using this form: Link to Submission Form All rules in the Core Rules topic apply unless otherwise stated in this explanation or the rules above. There are no restrictions on the size/form/content of the builds other than the specifics described above. Each person can enter up-to 3 MOCs for this contest. It can be 1 in each Category or 3 in the same Category. Co-ordination between your fellow teammates is important to ensure the right amount of entries per category! All entries will earn XP for their team based on their score. Winners will earn additional XP. The Episode will run from Jan 5th to Mar 11th. As long as it is still Mar 11th somewhere in the world, you can still enter. Entries posted after the deadline will be disqualified from the episode and will only earn normal XP points. The criteria by which your MOCs will be scored is 1) Storytelling, 2) Aesthetics, and 3) Technical Ability. You can earn up to 10 points in each category for a max total of 30 points per entry.

The Prizes: At the end of the contest an end point will be chosen for each team. All MOCs entered for this contest will be assigned this square for XP. The team with the most points will gain an extra 25 XP to be placed where they choose. Second place will get 15 XP and 3rd place will get 10 XP. All extra XP should be placed within 2 weeks of the contest ending.

Well you only get to choose where 15 goes, the other 15 from your entry gets placed in Q6. But I'll put 15 in P7

Thank you all for your patience. I've had a lot of Real Life stuff keeping from the game. But Episode 5 is almost ready to launch. And I've got big plans for the game coming this summer. Keeping building, let me know if you have any questions, and invite a friend to play!

After a massive search and rescue operation the missing ships have been found! The Mercenaries with 3 entries, one in each category, have scored 29 points (before bonuses applied). The Light Side with 1 entry in C, have scored 15 points. The Dark Side with 2 entries, both in A, have scored 27 points. The Mercenaries, leaving from Formos in T10, passed through and ended up in Nimia in S9. Their points will be placed in S9. The Light Side, leaving from Phindar in P6, passed through Lucrazec and ended up in Arda in Q6. Their points will be placed in Q6. The Dark Side, leaving from Commenor in N10, passed through Zeltros and ended up in Kashyyyk in P9. Their points will be placed in P9. The Mercs won an extra 25 points to be placed where they want. The Dark Side broke rules and built 2 Cat As, so as a penalty The Light Side gets the extra 15 points and The Dark Side gets an extra 10 points. Let me know where you want those extra points placed. It can be anywhere you currently have access to.

We are really close! We're just waiting on scores from one judge and then I can publish results. Results and the next contest will be out this week.

"I get that reference"

This is VERY late in coming, but a fantastic bit of writing you have here. Feels like it came right out of an Expanded Universe book. Excellent.

Yes, please keep Wishlisting in the appropriate thread.

I would have bought the BARC speeder of it came with red Shock Troopers. But I don't need more 501st and there aren't enough other things in the set to draw me to it.

I'm more with PreVisla on this one. But I'm quoting these two points of view I as a reminder that each is entitled to his/her own opinion on a set. Agree or disagree with each other. But do it in a civil manner please.

Meanwhile I'm still waiting for the red clone trooper here in France. I see a bunch of them on Bricklink being sold from Germany. Has anyone seen the red clone trooper outside of there? We still have tons of Palatine magazines.
