Lego 75267 Mandalorian Battle Pack. I supposed the minifigs to be too colorfull for my taste, but I actually find them pretty good. Moreover, the set was at a discount (EUR 11,99).

I didn't see them in the show, so I suppose they are random warriors which are meant to represent unnamed background characters from the show. As far as I remember, names aren't used in the first episodes anyway.

Star Wars fails in China. In comparison: Avengers 4: Endgame grossed ~500 Million US Dollars in China. The Rise of Skywalker, however, grossed ~20 Million Dollar in China. So Disney's strategy which surely encompassed getting a foothold in the chinese market did nothing but utterly fail. Source

Thanks :)

Hi, in this post, I'd like to insert text between the quote and the spoiler. Can anyone tell me how to do it? Thanks.

Regarding Maul: You're right about Endor being a forest moon. However, given how close the DS was to Endor, and given that practically no other planet or moon was close to the DS, and given that at the end of RotJ, parts of the DS seemed to fall down on Endor, it would be odd if the remains would not be located on Endor. edit: It's official that it's not Endor but the ocean moon Kef Bir.

Why should it be an unknown planet rather than, well, Endor?

They both feature the color "brown" :) The helmets look very different, though (visor and other printing).

Since it's unlikely that the Mandalorians are from TCW: Season 7, I'd consider it a strong assumption :)

Please keep in mind that basically no minifig or verhicle introduced with the first Mandalorian set has made yet an appearance in the show. I think we can assume that the Mandalorian sets are based on scenes from Season 1. The reason why there is e. g. no minifig of the child is that Disney made sure that the merchandise would not create major spoilers for the show. Furthermore, TLG doesn't always create accurate depictions of scenes. The battle droids from 75042 and 75043 for example are from the TCW series, not from Episode III. In the battle of Kashyyyk, so-called "security droids" were seen. If this is not an accident, which I believe is not the case, TLG has begun to introduce minifigures which they find interesting in sets they loosely fit in, no matter if parts of the sets are from different origins (films or series), probably to increase the value of the set. I'm fine with that, since it increases the chance to get minifigs we may not get otherswise.

I'd say that non of the minifigs represent the armorer. The color schemes and the visor printings don't fit.

Pictures of 75267 marked as "confidential" can be found on the Internet. The set contains four different mandalorians (not THE mandalorian) with capes, optional antennas and visors and a speeder. Two types of visor printings are featured,

I think the visor of the Mandalorian should be more slender...more like on the Right picture:

Pictures from Anakin (75269) and the T-16 Pilot (75265) can be found on eBay, in case anyone is interested.

We can't have both at no costs (measured in alternative sets TLG could have released). The question remains if people would like to see them as minifigs or rather not.

They have screen time as they are pictured. So the question remains whether you would like to see them in Lego or if you'd prefer to see other clones.

So, what do you think of the 501st's changed appearance? Would you like to see them in Lego (at the expanse of other sets) or rather not?

I'm not so happy with the 41st Elite Corps Trooper since the printing of the visor is too small. I think it should look more like this:

Hi, can anyone say if there's any chance that sets from TCW: Season 7 will feature clone printings that are consistent with clone printings from ep 2/ep 3 sets? Or is it more likely that clones from this last season and from the feature films will look differently?

I hope for new clones as well. The question is whether or not they will get dual-molded helmets. To me, especially the current phase 2 helmets are pretty good. They may benefit from a new mold, or it may not. At least, I'm not happy with the new stormtrooper helmet, and I had 75262 to give a pass.

Maybe, and I hope your're right. But since TCW Season 6 aired in 2014, the fact sets like 75168 and 75199 supported normal eyes may also be due to licensing or other issues.

Not necessarily, as 75192 shows.

Btw., did anyone recognize that the new Kashyyyk battle droid was inspired by TCW S1E1 :)?

Maybe. But I'm not sure if TLG is free to choose the colours. As you can see, the new colour scheme roughly resembles the current colour scheme of the the Hoth rebel trooper from the Hasbro Vintage Collection. That may be a coincidence. On the other hand, it may be not :)

I had high hopes 75262 (Imperial Dropship). But I got 75228 (Dewback mircofighters) yesterday, and I simply don't like the new Stormtrooper helmet. It is too huge. Slave 1 looks great, but it's not a set I'd want. So I'll wait for the next wave :)
