Just some ideas… Republic AV-7 Cannon vs CIS Flitknot Speeder £64.99: Obi-Wan Kenobi (CW General), Clone Gunner (x2), Tactical Droid, Battle Droid (x2) Mace Windu’s Jedi Interceptor vs CIS Vulture Droid £54.99: Mace Windu (CW General), R8-B7, Pilot Battle Droid, Magnaguard Separatist Tri-Droid vs AT-RT £64.99: Battle Droid Commander, Battle Droid (x3), 501st ARF Trooper (x2) Republic AT-AP Walker £79.99: Stass Allie, Commander Neyo, 91st Mobile Reconaissance Clone Trooper (x3)

At that price though?

Genuine question, adults fans of Lego. Do you prefer that we got a UCS version of Jabba’s Sail Barge or would you have preferred a playscale update? For me, I’d like a world in which we get both. More opportunity for new figures and hits multiple price points, thus audiences. At the moment, the only reason to buy the Skiff is for the anniversary figure and if you buy the UCS Sail Barge, no?

Love love love all of these. Please do more ideas in the future. Love all these. Was so surprised we didn’t get the Battle of Mos Espa at the time! The new UCS Sail Barge has really made me want a play-scale Barge and Palace.

They’ll skip some numbers, very likely.

Thanks Clay. I have amended my original post. Sorry guys, please take the post with a grain of salt. Brickreporter quoted Brick Tap, however this does not seem to be the case.

update - please take with a pinch of salt as per Clay Bricks below. Thank you. Nightrooper Battle Pack - Enoch, NightTrooper (x3) as per BrickTap.

Have you! Wow, lucky. Can’t wait to see them…

Literally, the grimmest realisation for me yesterday. Would be great, but highly doubt it.

Lower expectations I say, after all likely to only have two figures likes Yoda’s Jedi Starfighter. Especially if Ahsoka’s interceptor has 3!

Haha, I relate with this so so much. Somehow, though, they’ll make sure to ruin my plans to buy the set with the likely cost and corner cutting!

Ha! Of course, what a feature that could be…

Also rumours 75400 Plo Koon’s Jedi Starfighter. Less reliable, DaveBricks1995. Take this one with a pinch of salt.

UCS Jango’s Slave One - May 2025. Highly detailed Jango Fett and Young Boba minifigures. 75409 €239.99. Instagram: @maxbautde. Very reliable.

For me, the 2012 Palace was groundbreaking in the sense the figures were revolutionary than what we had gotten before. Of course, the gap between say 2004 and 2012 vs 2012 and 2024 was a lot bigger so the effect was larger. Still, though. That Sail Barge lineup is lacklustre. The pirates are great, but beyond that.

The quality of minifigures has dropped off the most for Lego Star Wars, in my opinion. New figures, moulds, design choices, accuracy. Combine that with ridiculous prices, and I can’t justify purchasing sets.

Oh, I’ll happily admit I’m naff! I remember one year - 2021 - a guy got most them right! The rest of us are rubbish. I usually get around 4 right for the whole year, ha!

Summer 2025 predictions. Personally, I think this is the hardest one I’ve done in recent years. Palpatine’s Arrest Diorama £69.99: Chancellor Palpatine, Mace Windu, Anakin Skywalker Droid Escape £34.99 (Brickbuilt Dewback): R2-D2, C3-PO, Sandtrooper (x2) First Order Tie Fighter £39.99: Kylo Ren, Tie Pilot, First Order Stormtrooper Poe Dameron’s Resistance X-Wing (Ep 7) £49.99: Poe Dameron, Finn, BB-8, Resistance Soldier Imperial AT-ST Walker £59.99 (Speeder Bike, Tree w/log function) AT-ST Driver (x2), Scout Trooper, Chewbacca, Wunka Buildable BB-8 £79.99: BB-8 Andor S2 £99.99 Nebulon B Frigate £129.99: Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Lando Calrissian, Chewbacca, R2-D2, C3-PO, Medical Droid, Rebel Pilot Clone Turbo Tank £149.99 (w/ CIS Flitknot Speeder): Plo Koon, Commander Wolffe, Phase II Wolfpack Clone Trooper (x2), Commando Droid (x2) Microscale Jedi Temple £149.99: Jocasta Nu, Golden Jedi Master Statue (Minifigure)

I’m really wish there was a play scale Sail Barge. Fingers crossed the design process of the UCS version has inspired and improved the 2013 play scale version so they do it in the next year or two…

I get the concern, but let’s have hope. No diorama’s at the moment so I’m hoping we have a year break if it means more playsets for the second half of the year. Could see this happening. Hoth AT-ST off the shelves…but let’s wait and see, for now.

UCS Sail Barge is nice, but really safe imo. Also the price is awful, and you need an overpriced Skiff, too. Overall, feels off. Premium prices but glaring cost-cutting measures is so so so tiresome - I cannot stress this enough!! I have seen the reviews for the Imperial Dropship vs Rebel Scout Speeder and it is as expected. A really solid set, with minor issues. Strange decision to have it on shelves for 3 months, but the Droid Carrier was a strange move too. I’d rather ‘complete sets’ as promotions, surprises, one-off sets than what we have had previously so I do hope they continue with this (although I strongly doubt it because this is the 25th anniversary, of course). Regarding the May rumours, I think it’s fairly lacklustre in terms of creativity! Buildable Chopper should look nice, and I’m certainly interested given I like these buildable droids coming out. I imagine BB-8 will be coming along some point soon… Jango’s Helmet is quite weird, but I assume it will have some design changes to the Mando’s helmet. The SW logo is great if they include figures or other special parts, otherwise it’s fine if it’s a good price. Overall, January sounds decent with the Interceptor and Arc-170, but May is underwhelming. Fingers crossed the budget is really spent on the Summer wave! Interested to know what the UCS set might be! Let the speculation commence.

I wonder why minor inaccuracies exist? Not sure I can spend a premium that Lego charges for a non-premium product, granted I am more of a perfectionist when it comes to the sets.

You’d think the Hagrid Bike will be a buildable, rather than a general set given the price. Interested to see Malfoy Manor!

Symptomatic of downscaling across the board. Both vehicles fit 3 troops. Yes, it’s a bit disheartening but it’s what Lego does now.

Back of the box leaked. Huge, huge fan of this set. Looks excellent.
