Yes I mentioned my ideas we re-releases. Plenty of scope to make the sets different including figures, designs etc. Like instead of the Palace having a tower it could have just a gate which you can attach and have a small entrance on one side of the palace and then a droid workshop attached on the other side using technic pins or something.

What?

I would love Lego to re-release Jabba themed sets again. Although it’s very unlikely here’s what I think they could do. Any suggestions are welcomed. Jabba’s Henchman £12.99 (small Cannon + droid work station): Nysad, Nizuk Bec, Ree-Yees, BG-J38 Desert Skiff £29.99: Lando Skiff Guard, Chewbacca, Pote Snitkin, Brock Starsher Rancor Pit £64.99: Luke Skywalker, Oola, Malakili, Giran Jabba’s Sail Barge £129.99: Jabba the Hutt, Huttslayer Leia, Luke Skywalker, Boba Fett, Salacious B.Crumb, Saelt-Marae, Vizam Jabba’s Palace £139.99: (w/Droid Workshop): Jabba the Hutt, Bib Fortuna, Han Solo, C3-PO, R2-D2, Gamorrean Guard, Sy Snootles, Droopy McCool, Doda Bodonaweeido, Ak-Rev, EV-9D9, 8D8, Gonk Droid

Poe’s orange TROS X-Wing for £57. That’s my spending done for a bit.

Yes it should definitely be a set! Even if they did orange and raised the price a bit people would still pay. The figure potential is great too with the Cloud Car Pilots only available in that Cloud City set.

Box has a slight dent but other than that it says it was sealed and completely new. I’ll let you know when it arrives if it was too good to be true. You’re right about the clones in the set. Surprisingly Plo Koon was expensive too because he’s slightly different. I did look at the Coruscant Police Gunship but that’s just too much. I am definitely getting into the idea of investing in Lego. The potential there seems fascinating but also really interesting. I never see any UK sellers on old sets on bricklink for Star Wars (or very rarely) so it might be something I look to get into e.g. buying 10 Razorcrest’s etc etc. Shame the 2021 sets don’t seem interesting to invest in!

As I’m not inspired by 2021 I’ve been looking at some older sets. Saw the Republic Av-7 Cannon was barely being sold anywhere and when they were was never in the UK - was about £115 excluding shipping from Europe and then a £175+ uk version on eBay. Last night saw a new seller for it on EBay for £120. Crazy money I know but relative to the other sets it was a steal.

@Redroe, @MaximillianRebo , @TeddytheSpoon I can’t remember where I read this from but I’m certain that the reason why a Cloud City car hasn’t been done in orange is because of how expensive it would be. (Might have been Brickset review of mbs Cloud City)

@Redroe Right I get your argument; I can see where you’re coming from. I’m also glad you quoted my analysis from a few days ago and expanded on my thoughts, which is great deffo agree with you there! @Mandalorianknight I really need to keep up with the forums as I wasn’t aware about the fake minifigure line ups. I agree the with B-Wing needing a rerelease but I think a Resistance version would be excellent and would provide a great way to get Aftab Ackbar and maybe some other aliens. On the topic of completely new sets altogether or much needed remakes here are a few: TPM: Gian Speeder, Trade Federation Lansing Craft, Skywalker Homestead, Naboo Royal Starship AOTC: SPHA-T, Petranaki Arena, Jango Fett’s Slave One, Padme’s Nubian Yacht, Count Dooku’s Solar Sailor, Geonosian Starfighter(movie accurate Geonosians - 2002/3) ROTS: Invisible Hand, Arc-170, AT-OT, UT-AT, Senate Duel, Jedi Temple, Padme’s Star Skiff, Brown Separatist Shuttle, Wookie Catamaran/Ornithopter (AT-RT Driver) OT: Twin-Pod Cloud Car w/accurate orange, Tie Interceptor, Tie Bomber, Endor bunker w/Ewok traps, catapults and gliders, GR-75 Transport (scaled down like Malevolence would be tasty imo), Yavin Temple, More Jabba’s palace/sail barge aliens probably UCS though. TLJ + TROS (TFA is represented well imo): Canto Bight Speeder, Tallie’s A-Wing, Ochi’s Bestoon legacy, Treadable Tank (seen on Passana), blue pasanna speeder, UA-TT, Babu Frik, Final Order Star Destroyer, B-Wing, Death Star ruins w/ Water Skimmer, Duel on Exegol, The Fortitude (Resistance Troop carrier). Plenty of stuff from TM s1/2 e.g. Tie Outlander, aswell as Jedi Fallen Order + Galaxy’s Edge e.g. Tie Echelon (has Malgus’ fury class interceptor vibes) TCW s7: 212th troopers, Separatist Tri-droid, at-te, Gunship, Venator, The Silver Angel (light blue Ahsoka outfit + maybe some Pykes with the twin sisters), Republic Attack Shuttle (carrying Maul and new shock troopers), CIS Proton Cannon (added blue elements to the 2011 Battle on Geonosis version), Mandalorian Fighter, Havoc Marauder, Z-95 Headhunter, CIS MTT, Republic Y-wing (blue or yellow)...there’s so many more probably. The point is Lego play it safe with their waves and just include main characters from each era (part of my main argument about too much plurality in waves). There’s so many sets here that could include main characters but could also survive very well without them. @Redroe during lockdown I did a huge prequel list set ideas from each film so if you want even more ideas they’re probably around 10 or so pages back (May/June time I think) haha! Seriously as a kid I loved obscure characters and ships aswell as the classics. Right now it seems Lego are catering to the ‘new’ fan of Lego rather than its core base of loyal long-stand collectors.

Cheaper sets do sound interesting but at the same time worrying; that X-Wing for 2021 has 2 figures... Imo they either go all in or not. They can’t have a summer wave where all there sets go against what they’ve done this winter surely? I’ll respectfully disagree here. Surely with a newer take on the sets (cheaper and smaller) it will just see the classic ships getting this treatment before obscurity hence the scope is narrowed. Please elaborate on what you mean because I’m struggling to understand it. I could probably make a very large list of Star Wars sets that have never been released or are in desperate need of an update/redesign.

What do we really expect this summer to look like? I know it’s super early but I’ve never been less inspired by a wave than this winter 2021 list... If Lego have committed to these smaller models it could be a run of repeats...please no Lego.

Honestly I can’t see it regardless of what I thought about the incident. It’s a shame.

I wish I could think that positively! Refer back to this comment if I’m wrong but there is no way a Beskar Mandalorian is included in such a cheap set.

Interesting, cheers. I actually think balanced waves are the issue imo. It ends up trying to include the main characters and ships of each era, rather than provide interesting and unique sets and figures, constantly each year. Hence, imo, what makes good waves are the one’s that are heavy-leaning in a particular era, with then a 2/3 sets from accompanying eras. By rotating the plurality of a specific era for each wave I think the scope of sets we would get increases for each era; whilst the OT may not get as many sets consistently as it does now, it will eventually get a wave that has many of the sets from it in one go which crucially go beyond the standard ships they release each year (thus different Minifigures as can’t just have loads of sets with Luke all the time). I hope that makes sense!

Sets look alright, nothing exciting about it. For those who don’t have have an X-Wing, Tie Fighter or an Imperial Shuttle (which for the first two I imagine a large proportion of people do from whatever era) it’s just a dead wave. Where’s the inspiration Lego? Where’s the originality? Where’s the exciting figures? BuT gUyS we have a £20/£30 Mandalorian set! Bore off...

What makes a good Lego Star Wars wave? (Would love responses) Anyway looking at the 2014 and 2015 Winter waves I was amazed to see they had 12-13 sets released. Lego should have done that this year especially with the Clone Wars. Here’s my ideas: Anaxes Clone Troopers (Red + Grey Barc Speeder) £12.99: 212th Clone Trooper (x2), Mace Windu Clone Trooper (x2) Mandalore Forces 2v2 Battle Pack (Red + Black Mandalorian Speeder, Blue and Grey turret) £12.99: Nite Owl Mandalorian (x2), Mandalorian Super Commando (x2) Imperial Remnant Troopers (White Speeder bike, E-Web turret- or something similar seen in last episodes of Mandalorian) £12.99: Stormtrooper (x2), Scout Trooper, Incinerator Trooper Resistance Troopers (New speeder, Command station) £12.99: Ovissian Gunner, Caphex Spy, Human Resistance Soldier (x2) Ahsoka’s Speeder Bike w/Loadlifter £24.99: Ahsoka Tano, Trace Martez Obi-Wans Blue Jedi Interceptor £24.99: Obi-Wan Kenobi, R4-G9 Babu Frik’s Workshop £24.99: Babu Frik, Sith C3-PO, Rey (new torso) Pyke Patrol Ship £49.99: Marg Krim, Rafa Martez, Pyke Syndicate Pilot Separatist Tri-Droid £54.99: Anakin Skywalker, Commander Cody, Super Tactical Droid, Battle Droid (x2) Yellow Republic Y-Wing Starfighter £64.99: Yellow Clone Pilot, Mace Windu, Clone Flight Crewman, Astromech Droid Moff Gideon’s Outland Tie Fighter £69.99: Moff Gideon, Beskar Mandalorian, Death Trooper, The Child Mandalorian Gauntlet Fighter £74.99 : Darth Maul, Governor Almec, Rook Kast

I think it will be a set at some point - hardly any UCS sets are from the Prequel era. With the Gunship hopefully the trend starts shifting. There’s still 5 years of UCS sets I reckon based on the OT they could do.

A Clone Wars ‘Legacy’ wave. Would be one last hoorah with the Clone Wars (obviously done after s7). Would be interested to see other people’s ideas - I have chosen 7 sets. Republic Assault Submarine £24.99: Kit Fisto (Aqua version), Clone Scuba Trooper, Riff Tamson Adi Gallia’s Jedi Starfighter (w/STAP) £34.99: Adi Gallia, Astromech Droid, Citadel Commando Droid Umbaran Starfighter £54.99: Umbaran Soldier, Clone Trooper Hardcase, 501st Arf Trooper Republic Stun Tank £59.99: Mace Windu, Clone Stun Tank Pilot (x2) Battle For Kamino £64.99 (Trident-Class Assault ship): Shaak Ti, Arc Trooper Blitz, Battle Droid Pilot, Aqua Droid (x2) Geonosian SuperTank £74.99: Battle Droid Pilot, Battle Droid (x2), Winged Geonosian, Ahsoka Tano, Clone Commander Jet Republic Stealth Corvette £84.99: Anakin Skywalker, Admiral Yularen, Clone Commander Blackout, Stealth Clone Pilot, Clone Stealth Trooper ‘Spark’

Sith Tie Fighter £39.99 Very happy at that price.

I truly thought Lego were turning the corner with the summer wave of 2020. Wasn’t perfect but was getting better. The Winter wave has halted all that momentum. Here’s my summer 2021 realistic wave to get the fans back buzzing. 75XXX Obi-Wan’s Blue Jedi Interceptor £24.99: Obi-Wan Kenobi, R4-G9 75XXX Endor Speeder Chase (2 Speeder and log/tree function) £24.99: Endor Luke, Endor Leia, Scout Trooper 75XXX Magma Tri-Droid £49.99: Anakin Skywalker, Clone Commander Cody, Super Tactical Droid, Battle Droid (x2) 75XXX Imperial AT-ST Walker (Speeder bike + Log trap function) £59.99: Imperial AT-ST Driver (x2), Scout Trooper, Ewok Widdle, Ewok Wundle 75XXX Resistance B-Wing £64.99: Aftab Ackbar, Larma D’acy, Engi Golba, Klaud 75XXX Republic Prisoner Shuttle £89.99 (small cargo box): Clone Pilot (better version than 2013 helmet + yellow), Clone Shock Trooper (x2), Darth Maul 75XXX Tie Echelon £99.99: Kylo Ren, First Order Officer, First Order Heavy Stormtrooper, First Order Stormtrooper, Dok-Ondar 75XXX S2 Mandalorian Boat £119.99: Beskar Mandalorian, The Child, Quarren Crew (x2, other figure (tbc) 75XXX Venator-Class Cruiser £139.99: Ahsoka Tano, Clone Commander Rex, Republic Officer, Ahsoka Clone Trooper, Shiny Clone Trooper, RG-G1, CH-33P

I like @wesker ‘s type of list. I’ll do the same! I’ve added some of his ideas too but some are sets I’ve been thinking about for months aswell so apologies if it seems like I am copying. Separatist Magma Tri-Droid With all these re-releases of sets the Star Wars line is facing, how about a brand new vehicle? This would be perfect to get a Commander Cody. There are some great mocs of this vehicle well before Season 7 TCW but with it being included seems a perfect time. Brickbuilt centre with its blue colours. Republic Gunship We might have to wait a year from the UCS version but a system-scale version of this set is well in need of a return. The ‘thanks Commander’ Green Clone Pilot in the Siege of Mandalore is a figure I desire, perhaps the most. CIS Heavy Proton Cannon Add blue CIS colours to the 2011 Battle on Geonosis version. Chance to get Mace Windu’s Clone Troopers from the Bad Batch arc that are seen on Anaxes. I love the colour of those clones. Set could have some great features like 2011. The Bestoon Legacy An easy design for Lego to do and the ship would be great considering it’s importance with Rey. Great way to get Ochi and even Lando ‘the hermit’ Calrissian. Dagger included. Outland Tie Fighter Love the design of this thing when its landing! Perfect for Lego to release a Moff Gideon, Incinerator Trooper and a Beskar armoured Mandalorian. Everyone would grab this set. The Fortitude Took me ages to find the landing craft on the Star Destroyers in Ep 9 but here we are. Will give our Resistance Troops a much needed ride and definitely has vibes of being the Republic Gunship of the Resistance. Great way to get an Orbak creature too. Separatist Shuttle (ROTS-Brown) Seen some great mocs of this particularly from a guy on twitter. A large cockpit piece would make this set amazing. Add a Wat Tambor and boom this set sells well. Hoth Wampa Cave Lego give us an affordable Wampa and a Tauntaun creature mould! Plus gives you another chance to release a snowspeeder. TIE Defender (Rebels) Really nice design. Add some Rebels figures of course but aslong as it has a Tie Pilot the OT fans will be happy. Battle of Endor There is potential for this being MBS but I just feel an affordable playset for this scene would be better. Should include a slightly bigger and more fleshed out Bunker and the Endor Shield aswell. What about a landing pad...damn it’s starting to have that MBS vibe. AT-ST Walker, Ewok Glider, trap + catapult, Endor Speeder Chase Separate sets to create a large scene with above or ones that would be in the MBS. Give us some rare Ewok’s! UCS Droid Control Ship (Lucrehulk) There is a particularly good moc of this online and oh boy this set would look amazing on display. Lego can do their usual trick and give us some exclusive figures- Nute Gunray, Rune Haako, Daultay Dofine and heck even a chrome TC-14 again! Homing Spider Droid When I look at this vehicle in universe Lego’s version is actually lacking. Make the eye smaller and add a better middle section! Stickers for the nice design too on that section. Would be a far superior model that would get the collectors opening their wallets. Sneak in a new AOTC Kit Fisto with better head mould and this is a winner. Naboo Royal Starship Queen Amidala and Ric Olie are a must. Sabe likely. Heck I don’t care if it’s grey but I have flirted with the idea of chrome stickers... This set is one of the most desired on this list. Obi-Wan’s Blue Jedi Interceptor w/hyperdrive Like the 2006/7 model but obviously improved like the AOTC version in 2017/8. Great way to get a Commander Cody and a Tion Medon. UCS Republic Dropship w/AT TE New alien figures like Pablo-Jill, Sora Bulq and Tarados Gon and a load of Clones and boom we are done. Needs accurate colour schemes unlike the Clone Wars version. Hopefully the Gunship in 2021 introduces new Clone helmets. UCS Sail Barge (Skiffs), Palace and Rancor Pit to accompany Mos Eisley has given hope for the vast array of alien figures in these scenes to get the Lego treatment. The possibilities... Republic Prisoner Shuttle This will give us Shock Troopers based off of the new 501st designs and a Darth Maul. Add the Cargo box/hold and more accurate colour scheme than the 2009 version and this will be popular for sure. Bad Batch Shuttle This is all about those figures! Include Echo too. Makes sense for this to be released when the new show gets near. UCS Yavin IV Temple I predict this for the next MBS. Loads of amazing Rebel Alliance figures that can be included...the OT fans will be loving life. Examples: (I’ll edit these in later...it’s bed time ;) Geonosian Starfighter I include this because it’s been a while and we are in desperate need of movie accurate Geonosians! Count Dooku’s Solar Sailor Last model in 2009 looks poor and needs updating. I would love Lego to try and incorporate a parachute elastic piece but one can dream can’t they! Mos Espa Podrace Loads of figures for this set! Heck it could even be a UCS. Shmi + Fodesinbeed the obvious choices. I’d love more than 2 Podracers to get an amazing race going. Lego could even release pods later down the line for this. All those aliens... Venator Cruiser Based off of the last episodes of TCW. The Astro Droids, Rex, a first Republic Officer and a shiny Phase II Clone Trooper based off of the new 501st designs would make this even more desirable. Republic Y-Wing Starfighter Ahsoka, Rex, the astro and a Fives minifigure. If they’re doing a Resistance version in new Star Wars content then this Clone Wars version makes so so so much sense! @wesker’S Naboo Starfighter w/ Vulture Droid is a fine fine fine idea! Add in a Naboo Engineer with Theed Padme and this is great. The Naboo Starfighter imo needs an upgraded design aswell and a small downscaling. Vulture Droid definitely needs it. Bounty Hunter Pursuit, Jango’s Slave One, Invisible Hand, Resistance B-Wing and the Petranaki Arena MBS all great ideas in the above post. Give me an Aftab Ackbar and an Engi Golba in the B-Wing!

Sounds interesting BUT everyone take this with a big massive ginormous pinch of salt as 75298 is apparently the Tauntaun Microfighter.

Eurobricks might have a new lego leaker

Thinking about it more deeply, perhaps the Tie Fighter (75300) and the X-Wing (75301) wont be as bad/small as we think. The 2012 models are as followed: 9492 Tie Fighter - 413 pieces whereas 75300 has 432 pieces. 9493 X-Wing - 558 pieces whereas 75301 has 474 pieces. It is rumoured that the front piece of the new X-wing is different so could this be where the main portion of the piece count reduction takes place? (I’m think similar to the 2013 Z-95 Headhunter here)

Darth Vader = Boba Fett Scout Trooper = Stormtrooper Death Star Gunner/Royal Guard = Tie Pilot. I can’t see Lego veering from the OT. Again just my thoughts based off of last years Helmet collection.
