What I noticed is that only ep 7 sets seem to be overpriced, while OT and PT sets have been priced mostly fairly. So since it's now rumored that Vaders TIE vs A-Wing is 60-65$, the price seems fair, unlike the originally rumored 100$ price point. But I wouldn't be surprised if it would cost 70$ since last version of A-wing and Vaders Tie combined is around 65$.

New ships certainly look interesting especially black one, it seems like 20$ set with 2 minifigs. One is certainly Dengar, but other one has Asajj Ventress curved lightsaber . Who can this character be? The second bigger blue ship looks like 50-60$ set. And battle droid imply that it's clone wars based?

So nobody knows what 2 unknown new ships are based on? I doubt it's new Yodas Chronicles style show. Aftermath like some people are suggesting makes more sense. Not interested in Clone Tank. Vaders Tie Advanced vs A-Wing looks cool, but 4 minifigs and no Ahsoka in 100$ set?! Seriously Lego? I would be fine if this set had 4 minifigs but with Ahsoka instead of generic A-wing pilot, and new and updated Sabine. Also no Inquisitors in any of new sets? Lego really dissapointed me, but new ships look intriguing at least.

ok, but then 3 minifigs and BB-8 aren't enough for 700 pieces set. So many questions! I hope one of upcoming Toy Fairs will answer them.

Wow this set looks really cool! Minifigs are Poe in jacket, Lor San Tekka , Flametrooper and BB-8. But amount of pieces is really small for an X-wing, I mean 442 pieces is way to small compared to 700+ version that came out in September. But overall I like this set, so I will probably be getting it.

Regarding May 4 promotion, I don't think we will get Ep7 Luke. Lego knows fans will pay good money for his minifig, and will most likely save him till 2017 Ep 8 sets( his clothes will probably be the same), or best case scenario like someone said above , some kind of set based on final scene in TFA, I could definitely see it being 20-30$. So either Chrome Phasma or Guvian Death Gang member as May 4 promo will be our best bet.

Nice review! I completely agree with some of the points you make. Way too many stickers, and exposed technic parts. The pilots cabin is a downgrade from 2014 version: no control panel, no clips for a lightsaber. The only improvement over 2014 version is droid placement, even though the legs are somewhat exposed, still better than 2014 one since R2 legs were kinda sticking out from underneath.

Guys why are you discussing tv shows character gender in thread for sets and rumors? Last 2-3 pages are just pointless character gender discussion!

After seeing the trailer for new season of Ninjago it seems that there is only 1 Djinn blade, not 7 like sets imply! It can trap ninja inside but it's just 1. So another year, another " collectible " weapon.

Seems Amazon.uk finally has normal shipping dates for new Ninjago sets! Not 3-6 weeks but 1-2 depending on shipping! Already ordered my second favorite set of the wave Raid Zeppelin! Gonna receive it pretty soon! I am really happy I won't have to wait till March to buy it.

What I don't like about Nexo Knights so far is the amount if minifigs in the sets is lacking. Jestros Evil Mobile for example is 60$ and only has 2 minifigs and brick build monster. Usually 60$ sets have 4-5 minifigs, I just think the set could have had one other bad guy minifig and maybe a peasant to hold in Jestros prison. And Fortrex set is lacking minifigs as well, just 1 generic bad guy in flagship set! Hope in summer wave sets Lego will be more generous on minifigure amount on the sets.

Thanks for the info! These sets seem to be based on ninjas personal vehicles once again, but this makes sense since winter wave is mostly bad guys vehicles. Also they all seem to be mid price range, which is good for my wallet ;). Btw it seems Skybound wave will be full year theme instead of half a year like with ToE and Possession wave. Kryptarium escape kinda implies continuation of Skybound wave.

So with new list of summer sets, it seems that A-Wing from Rebels with Sabine is now merged with Vaders Tie Advanced to bump price to 100$ ? Sounds like something Lego would do to keep Vader exclusive for expensive sets. Or am I reading to much into this?Its just hard to believe that Tie Advanced can consist of more than 500 pieces, I mean FO Tie Fighter has 500 something pieces and it's bigger than Advances. Also has there been any news or rumors if we'll get new Inquisitors in summer wave? Maybe be some of the unnamed sets?

70$ for 640 pieces set? Seems reasonable enough by Lego standarts, Battle on Takodana on the other hand is 20$ overpriced.

Well it was too good to be true! But Lego could always release it with Ep 8 sets in January 2017 right?

That sounds too unlike Lego to put so many eggs in one basket. More likely set will include: Vader and his TIE Advanced, Ahsoka, Sabine, A-Wing pilot with his ship, Tarkin , Chopper and maybe some control center on the ground. I think new Inquisitors will have their own sets.So are rumors about FO Star Destroyer Finalizer coming out in summer wave false? I mean the fact that they are making polybag of it is kinda a hint, right? Since 2014 SD is retiring now Finalizer set would make a lot of sense.

Bridge Battle set sounds curious , if this sets has some good villains like Hobgoblin or Vulture, I will be buying it! Some other variations of Spider Man team will be a welcome additions as well. Ghost rider set is an instant buy, never thought he will ever appear as minifig in Lego set. And if a villain in this set delivers ,it just might be one of the greatest Superheroes sets ever.

This new images proved that Lego didn't put their best efforts in making CW sets! I mean these sets could have been great but they look pathetic! 2 smallest sets have jeep and jet in them and these vehicles aren't even worth building in my opinion. Just build minifigs and use pieces for Mocs. The only redeeming thing about Airport set is Giant Man! The other builds are really unnecessary. Now I don't even think I will buy either of these sets until they go on sale, since they are only good for minifigs. And since these sets are released in March at the same time as Ninjago , which has a great line of sets compared to superheroes , I will probably end up buying Ninjago sets instead, which sucks because Superheroes theme is my second favorite Lego line. I hope that at least Doctor Strange set is good, since CW sets are a huge letdown!

Some time have passed since first images of these Captain America Civil War sets images appeared and my opinion on them has changed. All of new sets kinda suck! Crossbones truck- just another bulky jeep, something Lego has done multiple times before! Also initial pictures made me think Black Widow had different outfit , but it's the same as AoU one. Crossbones himself is too comicbook like instead of movie accurate, and his costume is supposed to look bulky and big, they easily could have made it more accurate by using Jurrasic World ACU vest in different color. Panther Jet is ok at best. Panther would really benefit from new mask mold, but Lego choose weird head horns instead, well at least torso printing looks good. Jet kinda looks like one from Ultra Agents theme, and Cap is using another Jeep! Cap has the same AoU torso, and new Superman hairpiece for some reason. Still hard to see Caps new face, I just hope it isn't Obi-Wan's from Ep 1 again. Also doesn't it look like Bucky reuses Star Lords face? Airport Battle set has only one redeeming quality build wise - Giant Man, he looks really great! Other than that sets is really dissapointing: small Quinjet- is it necessary to release it just a year after AoU one? Minifigs in this set are mixed feelings for me. New War Machine- great minifig! New Scarlet Witch, also great one, and even has accurate hairpiece this time. Agent 13 - was she really necessary? They could have used that spot for someone like Vision or Spider-Man! Cap is really dissapointing- same minifig as 2015 one, and has the same skin tone problem ( too tanned). And Iron Man is the biggest disappointment of the set! The Bleeding Edge version is supposed to have blue lights all over the suit, even on arms and legs, and this one is a missed opportunity by Lego! This could have been the best Iron Man they ever made, but turned out as pretty bad .

Then it's probably best to wait until NY Toy Fair to see what new Jestro Looks like.

Current version? Is he gonna be like Garmadon from Ninjago and have many versions of his minifiure? Also wasn't lava themed Jestro rumored for summer wave?

Nexo Knights sets just appeared in my local Lego store, and I really interested in some of them , but I am not sure which one should I get: Jestro Evil Mobile or Clays vehicle ? I am more inclined to buy set with Jestro, but at 60$ it's thought choice especially for a new theme.

Lego is really releasing another X-wing while Poe's personal one is still on shelves? Kinda weird ,but they probably have good reason to do so. Maybe the set will also include Lor San Tekkas hut and some Stormtroopers to make it a bit more different from last X-wing.

I am on vacation in Uk right now, bought it in London.

Got it from Lego store.
