A couple of sets from the recent Mando Episode: New Republic X-Wing (scale to Tie Interceptor) £69.99: Captain Carson Teva, Green Astromech, The Mandalorian, R5 Gorian Shard’s Attack Corsair £169.99: Gorian Shard, Pirate Coxswain, Pirate Ugnaught, Pirate Gunner (x2), Greef Karga

Yes but you have to acknowledge the type and nature of the set. The throne room is a playset where all of your figures can interact with the set. Whereas with the Fang Fighter and Tie Interceptor there is space for 2 figures maximum.

Yeah people wanted/hoped for a really highly sort after figure. That being said, people were sort of desperate for something exciting considering we hadn’t really had the main rumours that have made us all so excited. Plus, the reveal got caught up in these rumours which wouldn’t have helped things. Let’s see in the final episodes if Lego have missed anything. My guess is that they might have included a more exciting different Mando than the Fleet Commander we have gotten. Just a hunch, though. So yeah, I think the figure reaction is not simply just because people think it’s bad.

Haha, good reply. I am surprised you even entertained it, lol.

Gunship, Ghost, T6 Shuttle, Swamp Speeder. I want them all. Add the new 501st battle pack and the Pirate Snubfighter into the mix and I’ve got a nice haul for 2023 to enjoy later in the year! Can’t wait!

Yes! The Silencer is such a nice design but was way too big when it was released. The Dagger is good, too and was never done if I remember correctly. Both would sell well with the odd exclusive figure included, too. Yes, Exegol is the main one. I’m shocked it has not been done. Could have a Diorama or a system play set. Palpatine, Rey, Ben Solo, Sith Sovereign Protector. Perfect.

I think the Sequel Trilogy will return, it has to. But it won’t be for a while and it won’t be until Disney reduces the amount of content they’re releasing. Personally, I don’t like the movies but I quite like the designs as after all its Star Wars. I could definitely see a Blue Resistance X-Wing and First Order Tie Fighter in the new system scale. I also think you might get some Rise of Skywalker sets in the future as that has been the most neglected out of the three. Exegol, First Order UA-TT, Treadable Tank, Final Order Star Destroyer and The Fortitude. An updated Resistance Bomber would be amazing imo, just with a new red colour scheme and hopefully a couple of new figures. This could go alongside a Crait Duel and a Canto Bight Glider. Finally, I think anything with Kylo Ren will sell well. Especially his personal ships…

I like the actual design, red looks so so good. It’s a strange choice, though. But, I rate the boldness given TCW anniversary. Minifigure selection needs a pilot! Never thought I’d see a Gunship with Palpatine and Padme but here we are. We all love Fox and Shock Troopers, though. I would have preferred a standard Gunship, however.

Yeah but you can’t really complain about it because they’d have the new style clones and it’s based on an accurate scene. There’s a difference between preference and just objectively bad. Haha, convinced it must be a meme at this point with the Pilot.

I’d have had 6 figures. But, I just would not have done it based off this scene. However, I don’t mind it it’s just strange considering we get three clones and zero Pilot.

Could say that for any set and any lineup, though. We are in 2023 and we still can’t get a Clone Pilot. It’s just strange considering we get Fox but not a PILOT. Very odd.

The Republic Gunship minifigure selection is fairly weak imo, but I’m being grumpy.

Egg is splatted all over my face. Fang Fighter looks average imo; Tie looks amazing. Going to have to have another day of recovery before commenting on the leaks specifically.

No way have I read another 3 pages of discussion haha, you make it easy for fake leaks guys smh.

Palpatine and Padme in a Gunship and people are thinking it’s real…ffa.

Of course it’s a joke! Can’t believe I even need to post it.

Throne room diorama is really good in my opinion. Looks about £80, though.

Hardly anybody is doing that, to be fair.

Hopefully this will coincide with the anniversary of ROTS…Mustafar duel, Palpatine’s Arrest, Senate Duel, wowza.

Yeah the designers have proven in the past, less so the recent past, they can create and release top quality products that even AFOL’s are all over them.

Yeah I won’t support it either. These days I’ve got to really enjoy the content depicted as well as feel Lego have produced the best set (or close to near enough) as possible. If not, but it is significantly cheaper than I think it should be I’d go for it. I am almost certain this is not the best they can do, nor they think it’s the best they can do either. Whilst the team got it more right than not back in the day, and now today it probably evens out, it’s not the best.

I just don’t get who’s approving these decisions. No way have they looked at those figures and said they’re the best we can do. Is it laziness? Profits come first? Both? Something else? The fact it’s their precious OT makes it worse, haha.

Think it was a fair review, for the most part. The figures look so bad. The set is pretty good, however. If the Luke and Leia figures were perfect, I’d pay £69.99 at most for the set.

Great point. Or they just get leaked and not revealed until they put in on site.

There never used to be. More so, these 4+ sets were introduced and have existed without 4+ content E.g., Snowspeeder, AT-ST etc etc. But, I get your point. It’s similar, but not the same. The quality gap is significantly closer, as is the fairness of the price when it comes to system and 18+. Ah, thanks.
