Or he could just be ordinary minifigure size I'm just disappointed he probably won't have a molded head, at least it would have made him a bit more unique

I'd like a Deathtrooper vs elite rebel battlepack, then another bp with three Stormies and a shoretooper/tanktrooper. We (technically) got two rebel battlepacks this year, so I wouldnt think we'd need anymore rebel scum than that. Looking forward to seeing that furry alien in lego, it looks like the unholy of chewbacca and unkar plutt. Not so sure about the look of that screaming thing tho...

I think thats somewhat doubtful, Just2good probably won't want to get his source in trouble. Those aliens and that droid sound great! Definitely looking forward to this wave and hopefully the Death Star set will fill in any gaps in the minifigure lineup/variants.

It's possible TLG might cram in a tiny briefing room which could fit two minifigures at a squeeze: it seems more likely they make a downsized ship with a small interior than just recreating a famous interior scene like Home One.

We never really see much from exclusive sets like this until about a month before they're released. For some reason leaks are much rarer for exclusives as well, so this is nothing out of the ordinary.

It's not that they don't allow it, just that minifigure details are improving all the time so some trooper designs can easily become outdated.

The sets only £35 so he shouldn't be too expensive on the aftermarket. Well, at least compared to the previous version from the Executor.

I'm just really glad there's going to so many imperial ships and vehicles coming out. Although with my current Rebels, FO and OT armies I'll probably have quite the mish-mash of various Imperials.

There was a deleted scene planned where he turned to stone, so in Filonis head canon he's dead and not coming back. I wouldn't expect him in a set. Still hoping for Seventh Sister though.

I don't suppose our Bothan spies could give us at least an idea of the size of this set, so we've got something to speculate on?

That'd be great, but I feel like such a set would be too good to be true, especially since Vader is a big selling point of the upcoming A Wing vs Tie Advanced Rebels set. Unless it is another A Wing, which would be awful, I'm still expecting a Blockade Runner set (hopefully with Seventh Sister included) and then

Right, now I definitely feel that

The Hobbit: The Battle of Five Armies also had an R-rated extended edition so there is a precedent. Also, although I'd like a Doomsday bigfig I'd much prefer a comic version, might be a bit more likely as well.

How do you feel about Rebels? Because there's an exclusive set containing Ahsoka as well for us to get excited about.

I'm pretty sure Tragic Banjo himself confirmed that his profile pic had nothing to do with future sets/minifigures. As far as I see it Vision is somewhat unlikely, but I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

I'm actually quite impressed by Tarkin, as I don't have many imperial figures there's no chance for properly changing the torso (I can't be bothered to Bricklink one), and I'm not that bothered about the tan uniform, so I'll probably leave it as it is. I'm just happy we're getting an updated tarkin, especially after his novel convinced me he's one of the coolest characters in the SW universe. Having seen more pictures I realise I actually quite like this set, so will probably pick it up in the Autumn time when hopefully it'll be a bit reduced.

I feel like we've seen enough incarnations of the character, despite the latest awful face print that overpriced interceptor brought us. Minifigure-wise I'd much rather prefer a new Honda, the Seventh Sister and third Inquisitor and maybe some Twi'lak rebels.

Looks like I'll be getting a few of these just for that Melificent...

Do you guys think that if minifigures eventually loses popularity and sales take a dip, sinking so low lego can't maintain profits, TLG might fish from other licensed lines for future series to keep it fresh? Or would they just abandon ship and leave the line as a (ship)wreck? Also I've been thinking if TLG ever fancied it, a sandwich-board piece (like those used for Chewbacca and many other star wars minifigs) would be ideal for the Hunchback of Notre Dame. Because it covers a normal minifig torso, such a piece would capture his unique body shape and head. Or do you guys think it's unlikely and Lego would just let his design sleep with the fishes?

I have to say, Jasmine would probably be one if my most anticipated minifigures of a Disney wave just because TLG gave really not been that multicultural with their female faceprints through the years. Mulan and her little dragon sound pretty fun too. Here's to hoping the minifigures don't have weird eyes or something so they can't be used elsewhere. I have to say, I doubt Ariel would be as interesting to me as the rest of the Wave, as she seems relatively easy to make already, especially with that minidoll hairpiece. If you wanted her in flesh you could always use parts from the POTC mermaids as well.

Is that the same face print on the First Order General as the Rebels Imperial Officer which came in the Inquisitors tie advanced and whatever that imperial carrier ship was last year?

The figs alright, but unfortunately it's a mix of a lot of things, none of which come across to me as star wars. It just looks like a cross between a zombie and a mummy, and is the least star-wars-like minifigure I've ever seen made for the theme.

I'm afraid not, it's from Rogue One so no ewoks :( I do remember that play function on the last AT-ST though. It only really worked if you held it above the ground and even then it looked stupid, although kudos to lego for at least trying to incorporate it's distinctive leg movements in a set.

The Ahsoka rebels set is an exclusive, and we never hear about those usually until a couple of weeks in advance, so don't worry

Thanks! Teedo looks absolutely adorable and even the Darth Vader mask looks better than it used to, although that's probably the angle. Although not very jedi-like, Quinlan and Lumerina's face prints are superb, and very likely double sided. I really hope the TFA price hike doesn't apply to the Rogue One sets too...
