  1. Not in the Clone Wars, but it does exist. To be honest, it would be a very nostalgic set with Aurra Sing.
  2. Where do we see Lego Star Wars 18+ going next? Do we think they keep releasing helmets? How many mid-scale ships are there left to do? There’s few Buildable droids/characters left.
  3. That’s grim, I do hope it exists. Can’t imagine what else it could be…the Magma Tri Droid won’t be big enough.
  4. Where did you get this from, may I ask? If true, sounds decent! Prefer the Escape Pod, though.
  5. As promised, 2026 predictions. Record earliest time!

  6. Thanks man, forgot that my Battle Pack was meant to have Commando Droid (x2). Love your ideas, especially the Wolfpack set and the Venator. I think we may get OT stuff again next year, so maybe the year after. It works well similar to Bly and his legion this summer. Granted, your Wolfpack idea…would have another $10 added on! I will come up with some early predictions for 2026 soon.
  7. Very adequately put. CoS Yes Yes DH would be interesting, but likely PS. D2C Battle of Hogwarts, GWP Vanishing Cabinet, Defence Against the Dark Arts Classroom (POA), Buildable Cornish Pixie Quidditch Pitch, Umbridge, Hospital Wing (HBP) Robes Yes
  8. Thanks man, they’re actually realistic too and would sell so well. The Anaxes Troopers are my favourite legion of all time, I just can’t see it happening! My predictions for the next batch of Clone Wars sets over the next few years below - enjoy! Wolfpack Troopers Battle Pack £34.99 - Swamp Speeder vs Flipknot Speeder: Phase II Wolfpack Troopers (x4) 91st Mobile Corps Troopers Battle Pack £17.99 - Barc Speeder: Barc Trooper, 91st Mobile Corps Troopers (x3) Republic Attack Shuttle - TCW - Plo Koon (TCW Armour), Commander Wolffe, Phase II Wolfpack Clone Pilot Republic Gunship - Yoda, Clone Pilot, Mace Windu, Ki-adi Mundi, Clone Commander, Clone Trooper (x2)
  9. I will repeat the following ideas for Minifigures packs/battle packs. TK StormTroopers & Imperial Commandos Phase II Wolfpack Clone Troopers Phase II 91st Reconnaissance Corps Troopers 501st Elite Clone Troopers (ARF, Airbourne) Geonosis Clone Troopers (ARF, Flametrooper) Separatists Specialists (Sniper Droideka, Tactical Droid, Commando Droid)
  10. The set is a weird choice isn’t it! Don’t get me wrong, I will buy one because it taps into the nostalgia, but people won’t want to buy multiples of this set, and in some instances they won’t be drawn to this set at all. Granted, I cannot critique a set that’s completely new, is from The Clone Wars, and has 3 figures. I just can’t quite understand why 2025 is the year of Jango Fett. It is not like TBOBF has recently released.
  11. Landino is as reliable as you can get.
  12. Helmets Realistic OT: Imperial Royal Guard Snowtrooper Death Trooper PT: Anakin's Podracer Helmet Phase I Clone Pilot (AOTC) General Grievous ST: First Order Stormtrooper Captain Phasma Poe's X-Wing Pilot Helmet First Order Tie Pilot Pretorian Guard Disney+: The Armourer Sabine Wren Bo Katan Moff Gideon's Helmet Opportunistic OT: Imperial Gunner Shoretrooper PT: Senate Commando (TPM, TCW) Shock Trooper ST: Sith Trooper First Order Flametrooper First Order Snwotrooper Dinsey+: Captain Enoch TK Stormtrooper Imperial Commando (Bad Batch) Mandalorian Super Commando Unlikely OT: Imperial Jumptrooper Range Trooper Purge Trooper Cloud Car Pilot Imperial Assault Tank Commander Mimban Stormtrooper PT: Palpatine's Shuttle Pilot ST: Sith Sovereign Protector Lando 'the hermit' First Order Jumptrooper Zorii Bliss First Order Executioner Stormtrooper Disney+: The Stranger Fennec Shand Juggernaut Pilot
  13. So, it seems the rumours are true. 75433 is a play-scale Jango’s Slave One. 707 pieces, $70 certainly suggests a better version than Boba’s latest one from the Mandalorian S2. I have seen some suggest this move will see LEGO is “Cannibalising” their own UCS sales and then will be used against UCS Prequels sets. I think this is a logical assumption to make. Obviously, given the time between the previous release of Jango’s Slave One there is an appetite for all things Jango, Slave One, Attack of the Clones. Naturally, if the UCS existed on its own, fans are more likely to channel their fervour into purchasing the UCS set. But with a playscale version over a quarter the price, fans could well decide the playscale set meets their demand. I do think these suggestions are borne from fear. After all, in a UCS context LEGO handled the Gunship poorly. More broadly, Prequels fans are frustrated at the quality of sets being released - inaccuracies, downsizes, minifigure quality, all whilst prices are increasing. We know the drill and arguably this is happening across the board but it feels more prominent given the proliferation of Prequel sets in this decade. However, I actually think it will increase UCS sales. That is because the playscale set won’t satisfy some teenagers and most AFOLs given its predicted size vs the sheer scale and detail of the UCS set. Even if Jango and Boba are exactly the same versions in the UCS set, fans will want the Kaminoan. Moreover, I think fans will take the opportunity to display both sets next to each other. Hence, I think fans will channel their love for Jango into both the playscale and the UCS set. Furthermore, this will give fans with a lesser budget, a great opportunity to enjoy this iconic ship - a prequel set, too. Combine that with the helmet - you’ve got yourself a Jango Fett collection. I have no idea for the rationale of this collection, but I am not complaining one bit. It’s refreshing.
  14. Must be a mistake somewhere here, however much I want it to be true.
  15. I think Lego haven’t gone all out for the MTT figures, which is a shame and is becoming a common theme. Add a Tactical Droid and it becomes 9.5/10, minimum, on paper. Obviously, in practice Aayla’s eyes and Bly’s clone design will have obvious shortcomings.
  16. Correct - thank you. ^ - sorry.
  17. MTT - I am hoping it’s 8 x B1, 1 x Pilot, 1 x Commander.
  18. All 3 options rumoured to release this year are great options. That’s why I think helmets are being released this year. Let’s hope they continue, I think the helmet line is brilliant.
  19. Unreal helmet, as expected. Not sure about the bottom part, but I’ll let that slide.
  20. Couldn’t agree more. They should have included the secondary skiff in the UCS set - the one with Pote Snitkin, Brock Starsher etc. Then sold the main skiff like they have. Would be a great May 4th figure, shame it’s a bit too obscure.
  21. Right with you my friend. I would prefer a larger, more complete UCS Petranaki Arena, though. Then an 18+ Republic Dropship w/AT-TE, Gunship, Solar Sailor, Hailfire Droid/Homing Spider Droid and a Geonosis Battle Pack (Geonosian Cannon, Spider Droid, Geonosians, Battle Droids) would be perfect. Petranaki Arena £299.99: Count Dooku, Mace Windu, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Padme Amidala, Poggle the Lesser, Jango Fett, Boba Fett, Coleman Trebor, Bultar Swan, Roth-Del Masona, Pablo-Jill, Tarados Gon, Battle Droid (C3-PO), R2-D2, Battle Droid (x3), Super Battle Droid (x2), Geonosian Picador, Winged Geonosian, Droideka Republic Dropship w/AT-TE £229.99: Shaak Ti, Sora Bulq, Clone Pilot, Clone AT-TE Driver, Clone Trooper (x2) - speeder bike Republic Gunship £159.99: Yoda, Clone Pilot (x2), Clone Trooper (x3) - Forward Command Center, artillery missile rack Count Dooku's Solar Sailor £69.99: Count Dooku, FA-4 Pilot Droid, Anakin Skywalker, Nute Gunray Hailfire Droid/Homing Spider Droid £34.99: Kit Fisto, Clone Captain, Geonosian Battle Droid Commander, Super Battle Droid (x2) Geonosis Battle Pack (Geonosian Cannon, Spider Droid): Winged Geonosian (x2), Geonosian Battle Droid (x4)
  22. Star Wars needs big stories. The Sequel Trilogy felt irrelevant in that regard, and most things since have failed to feel important in the wider scheme of things. The Mandalorian has engaged with bigger stories but it’s still lacking. The Clone Wars and Order 66 changed the galaxy. Luke defeating the Emperor changed the galaxy. We need the next big story. Palpatine returning did not feel ‘big’ irrespective of whether I liked that it happened. Anyway, back to Lego.
  23. To be honest, I am a huge Clone Wars fan and if the rumours are true, I am looking forward to the 327th BP, V-19, UT-AT, and MTT. These are either new releases or worthy re-releases so I don’t think the criticism is all that fair. I do appreciate personal preference, though. I can see the frustration given the lack of OT playsets.
