  1. The Scythe is a brilliant brilliant set. One extra figure probably was needed, but in truth it’s not the end of the world. The Starfighter, has excellent minifgures. I love Taun We, and Kenobi is a nice change. However, I am not happy with the Starfighter. I do not understand the obsession with making the cockpit higher to accommodate the Astromech body. I’m really disappointed because the ship is so good in universe! It needs to be flatter, let alone more pointy at the front. It could be a case that in person the set looks better, but the pictures don’t look good. I remember the 2017 version was ridiculed and then people slowly appreciated it.
  2. A good wave. Feel like it needs an extra set though, probably another cheap one in the £20-£30 range.
  3. Must be a show about Kenobi in the works or something…
  4. The Landspeeder is actually a good set, just isn’t exciting. Should be a little cheaper imo.
  5. I think you forgot double vip points isn’t a thing for all sets! 😉 Deal looks worse and worse as the week goes on…
  6. Does not mean the promo is good just because it’s better than the horrendous predecessors. Your second part, however, is convincing, and I appreciate the reply! I think the point I was trying to make was the limit is set too high to receive these benefits. At the most basic level, the set is great but I can’t access it without spending a lot! I remember when I was younger and loved May 4th Lego promotions. The point is I could get involved with it and use my limited money to get sets I want and a really cool figure. As I have got older, this still applies. The stuff I get if I don’t spend £100+ are really weak; not an incentive at all to purchase. Lego losing money at the end of day I think. I don’t mind that it’s an in-demand figure otherwise we devalue these promotions which are exciting, and probably add to the excitement unlike a Darth Revan which we all thought was amazing but never expected it to be a figure and thus was ok. Locking it in a GWP at such a high value is the problem. Gives me similar vibes to the Bespin set. If what happened was in America we still wouldn’t be hearing the end of it. It was shocking and quite frankly this sort of stuff is poor too.
  7. Decisions for the few, not the many.
  8. $160 for this promo!? I remember the days where a Darth Revan was with £50 purchase. Instead I get a blue milk Luke we all got from buying the game. Seriously the Lego Star Wars team are jokers, bunch of clowns I might add.
  9. I wouldn’t be saying trust me if it was an educated guess!
  10. Phrasing was thought through. Trust me. If I’m wrong, I’ll go into hiding on Dagobah…
  11. I’m confirming it 😉 I told the forum to believe the Republic Fighter Tank rumours a while back when everyone doubted it.
  12. It could well be the 4 Clones rumoured, one is Cody. Speculation on my part, however, no more no less.
  13. Ok so here’s the deal. The AT-TE is Episode 3. It exists 100%. 212th Troopers are back baby. Cody on the other hand, unknown.
  14. Class ideas Mando! Can’t believe I forgot a few of those, albeit I did rush mine ;)
  15. Guys, let's curtail on the speculation. As we know, people are incapable of reading and will take it as confirmation. Loads of possibilities, I certainly agree, and am excited to consider them, however we will all be in the bad books and told to sit on the naughty step if we don't stop.
  16. Certainly seems that way. Maybe it’s a Blue Jedi interceptor too and it has a third figure which was Tion Medon. Clutching at straws but still. From that, ROTS AT-TE for sure. Makes sense considering we haven’t seen 212th troopers still.
  17. You’re comparing chalk with cheese.
  18. Republic Studs… 😭😭😭😭 hahaha sorry this has cracked me up
  19. The Original Trilogy is incredibly more difficult, so I’ll just do a few set ideas that have never been released or need a remake. Enjoy! (I’ll add figures later) ANH Skywalker Homestead Darth Vader’s Tie Advanced Yavin IV Temple Luke’s Landspeeder (W/Bantha!!) ESB: Twin-pod Cloud Car Tie Bomber Bespin Junkyard Nebulon B Frigate (system scale + UCS) GR-75 Transport ROTJ Endor Speeder Bike Chase Imperial AT-ST Millenium Falcon Home One Cruiser Tie Interceptor Rebel B-Wing Endor Bunker/Generator/Radar Edit - Did not want nor mean to quote - Mods, how do I get rid?
  20. I’ve seen the mutterings of this rumour, but nobody reliable has said anything. The fact they have not, could mean there’s something to it.
  21. The latest Harry Potter wave has the uniqueness to it I can’t quite explain. Combined with the fact many are redoing set lists for the films, I am going to try and make 6/7 sets for the films each that feel ‘unique’ - a different flavour to what we’ve had before.

  22. Love all these, nice job! Love all these, Lego release them - do it now!! @CodFather1 Love your ideas, really coherent and concise which makes it great. “Confrontation on Coruscant” is a genius name! Wheel Bike set is very cool too! Turbo Tank needs an AT-RT driver;)
  23. That’s fair. I had just observed many changing their tunes, which is fine, of course it is. But probably a lesson for the community…
  24. Fingers crossed it’s the summer - I’d be surprised if it’s not because it won’t be released winter 2023 it’s too big. Could be UCS and the rumour is wrong but doubt that too as goes against every established pattern and trend. Yes, Obi vs Vader is fair, but I get the feeling that won’t be until the end of the show and Lego and Disney won’t want to risk a set portraying that scene getting out, plus Lego might not have had access to it. I reckon that set is the next winter wave. And cheers for the appreciation. Looking back, maybe there are too many Obi’s, but he’s topical I guess… I was surprised we never got Adi Gallia in the heyday of the Clone Wars content. I doubt we will see her unfortunately. Movie versions of Shaak ti, Plo Koon, Kit Fisto, Pablo-Jill etc I’m all down for. A new Kit Fisto is number one priority - he would look so great. Max Rebo band is possible - they’ll do a MBS Jabba’s Palace at some point I’m sure of it. I’d be very surprised if the rumour is true about Taun We and there is not another set with the mould. It’s a Lego thing to do, that is to release multiple new moulds at once: BD-1 is a topical example. Nala fits so well with the Justifier too, plus she’s topical with BB s2 coming around within the next year, or so. Release a Jango’s Slave One next year to complete the set - Lama Su.
  25. Oh the shock! It actually looks good. people are so reactionary these days it’s tragic.
