Trailer looks good. Plenty of options. Let’s hope we see something in 2027 from LSW. We still need Shadow Lord, that’s a huge miss their end as people loved that show and there was plenty of new and exciting things to chose from. As the new generation says, it had aura.

Episode 8 Poster will be in the buildable Rex. Episode 9 Poster is in the UCS Falcon. Episode 7 will be in an unknown display set. 75490 Smart Play AT-AT “Starter Kit” (903 pcs). Leakers are unsure whether Concept Art Vader and R2 are in the Bespin or upscaled Luke respectively. From Instagram.

Not quite cut and dry as you suggest given the Y-Wing is actually from Star Wars and Buildable Jar Jar doesn’t exist. The point is, I’d have much rather those resources be put into something from Star Wars. I want something from Star Wars; anything else is a waste. I have been wondering where “Adults Welcome” goes next. They’re going in on the buildable characters, now it seems crossover is the new thing.

My thoughts are: 1. Waste of a slot, especially as I expect it to be a high price point which could have been something else in an anniversary year 2. My optimism for completely new sets (Episode 1-6) reduces 3. I like the premise of crossover sets and some of the ideas I’ve seen on site over the past few days are great

People such as Coop are referencing the Boba. Admittedly, it seems that upscaled is interpretation as of now. I think a Buildable is a way better, more logical choice than up-scaled…so that means it’s upscaled!

If the rumoured Rex is a buildable figure akin to Boba Fett (2026), I would expect to see the following in the next few years: Darth Vader General Greivous Commander Cody (if Rex is P2, Cody P1 and vice versa) Other options include: Boushh Leia Kylo Ren I don’t think they’ll go with generic troopers, unless the design is very good. For example, Clone/Imperial Commando Royal Guard Senate Commando

Some are saying it’s actually a Buildable Rex like Boba. Now I am excited. Praying it’s P1, but very likely to be P2.

Thank you for sharing. Falcon is no surprise. Let’s hope it’s a P1 Rex, although I really can’t get on board with these up scale figures. I think we can safely assume it’s closer to 4+. Perhaps this indicates that upscaling is back?

Sigh, a 4+ Anakin’s JSF and more Smart Play. God I hope the normal sets are good. Y-Wing piece count sounds very promising, though.

Looking at how good the new AT-AT and Sandcrawler sets are, I desperately want a new Episode 2 Republic Gunship. The Coruscant Guard Gunship was a nice idea, but executed badly. A new Gunship would be larger, with more features, and the preferred colour scheme. Fingers crossed for Summer 2027, but I am not optimistic.

Agreed, the potential was there. If not the best example of a set being phenomenal in principle, atrocious in practice. Whoever signed that bad boy off should not be trusted.

AT-AT reviews are out, terrific set. Gold standard for playsets for me. It’s reasonably priced but I’ll still wait for 25% off (hopefully…)! Let’s hope the Ewok Village is more comprehensive like the AT-AT, rather than Yavin (apologies Yavin lovers).

I think if Vader is in both, id expect to see the Freezing Chamber and the dining room at a minimum.

Plenty to think about for next year! I am feeling way more optimistic now, particularly with the Y-Wing, and the Bespin sets assuming they do connect. I hope we get Leia in her Bespin outfit during the action scenes as we have never gotten that before. I really do like the buildable characters, albeit not at the expense of traditional playscale sets. I was really confident about the Boba, and I am again about Yoda. I personally think the concept Chewbacca is one of the most exciting ones so that’s an added bonus there. At the moment, the Mustafar Duel, Tribute to Lucas, and Buildable Yoda are very likely purchases. I eagerly await the Endor BP, Anakin’s JSF, and the Bespin sets (x2), which I note as of writing are the playscale sets (shock, I have too high a bar). While there are significantly more sets in January-May than the previous years, this is the most sets I have been wanting in the first half of the year for a very long time now. I do also like the sound of the Vader art and I might be tempted with the Cinema, at a discount. Concept Art minifigures, movie posters, and one-off sets (Movie theatre, George Lucas Tribute, art sets - I guess?), is certainly a stacked roster, even before considering the normal sets! I’d love them to do something out that is novel in the second of the year for the Anniversary, even something relating to the movie posters and how they might interact. Naturally they’ve ticked the boxes with the Theatre (which many will utilise and display and change their movie posters throughout the years), and others will collect them and make something themselves, but I’d like to see something at a smaller price point that makes me and others want the Posters. Perhaps a home cinema vignette? There’s a definite theme with Anakin isn’t there, which makes complete sense. Unless, I am mistaken, the only sets from that Jan 26 leak that we don’t know for sure are coming are the Bounty Hunter Pursuit (even more Anakin), Ewok Village, and the smart play sets. I think we can all safely assume that these are coming, though. Intrigued by what comes later on, and what else in store from an Anniversary perspective. The confirmation of Sequel movie posters suggests some stuff from that. I would expect to see a TPM set with Anakin. We also know that Starfighter has 3 sets, so the number of stuff in the summer is always dwindling! I would also expect to see some mid-scale ships and busts, too. I won’t speculate further as that goes into the Wishlist thread. Oh, and just to add - the movie posters are exciting. Let’s hope the quality is good!

Good ideas @Kit Figsto, your ANH ones are really good.The concept art figures work well here. I especially like the idea of a new Tantive IV connecting with an Escape Pod set. Personally, I think I’d like something a little bit more exciting than a Podracer, a TLJ X-Wing, and Solo’s Speeder, although I completely understand why you’ve gone down those routes.
