I can't really say how popular Clone wars was among adult fans when it first came out as I was only 8 and has no pulse on the adult fandom, but bad batch is definitely more popular among adults than rebels was at launch, its also alot more accessible really. I would have thought so, but then again the 501st trooper didn't disappear too quickly in my area. I mean I went to the shop at 4:45pm yesterday and there were still plenty available. Yeah when I said enough to be pawns that was 8 in total not just of the magazine ( 2 from the 2014 BP, 3 from magazines, 3 from the AT-TE)

We won't know that till all this year's sets are out. Call me a fool but until we've seen every episode of season 2 I'm gonna hope that this Swamp speeder is a bad batch set, especially if it comes with Rex as we haven't seen him with one otherwise ( yes Lego could easily ignore that and yes someone mentioned a comic where he's in the same panel as one and yes we don't know if will end of coming with rex anyway (and imagine if it comes with Phase 1 rex then the minifigs in sets would be the inverse of the helmet sets), I'm not even sure where the 'maybe Rex is in the swamp speeder' rumour came from) Hell maybe the all mysterious 1083 piece set is a set based on the latter half of bb s2? In other news, the 212th trooper magazine is now available in the UK, I picked up 3 yesterday and that means I now have have enough to be pawns on a chess board.

Well kids might come to care about Vane, he has been in every episode of the Mandalorian season 3 (as of now anyway) Honestly it's partly because I don't really buy mircofighters. The price hike over here is £9.99 to £12.99 which feels less egregious as well and this might very well be our last mircofighter as the mechs are seemingly coming in to steal thier niche.

Hey they do share a face, that'd be like if we got two hyrdra goons with the same face but all new prints.

Maybe it's cause the movie itself has been delayed

Yes Could the 'disapointing news' just be that the fig selection of the snubfighter is an emotionless Vane and Vane in the pilots outfit? I think I'll still get it, I'll wait for Amazon or smyths to put it down to £20, it's not the sort of set I see them ever remaking. Though I wouldn't be surprised if we see that vane fig reused in a pirate flagship set.

Where was it said that we are only getting the two figs on the Pirate snubfighter? The picture of the box looks like there could be space for a third figure cut off the side, and having a battle in the box (i.e characters from 2 opposing groups ) is a selling point for children. ... I guess I must disagree. The main one at least was just wearing a hood ( that didn't change the shape of his head) and some googles above his forehead that could be easily printed on IMO.

Maybe, maybe not, we've been surprised before. Might? Then why say won't?

I mean 41st makes sense but I doubt that would be why, it is unwise to seek patterns where there aren't any. I'm hoping might be a bad batch S2 set.

I was wondering which of the survey sets we'd see first ( other then Rivendell as it wasn't from the survey but we still got a look at it at the same time), I'm still hoping Zelda comes out this year near the game launch.

I haven't watched that show, but the supernatural academy thing makes me think of Wednesday, which could fill a similar niche to the the disgraced harry potter theme, though I'd settle for just the house based on the nineties movies.

I only got one in my copy of the Havoc Marauder () so it's not a sure thing. Flat chest lid: yes, new: no

I'd agree if I thought the Anzellen needed a new mold but they don't, just a printed baby or maybe a statuette (mircofig) with the baby head so that they are smaller than Grogu. Could even have the workshop table as a side build.

A molded head for a nikto would be overkill. I do think it could've been more expressive though.

https://brickset.com/sets/40583-1 Just ordered mine as well. £90 of VIP points used to soften the blow.

Lol

I've been rearranging my shelves and building a new IKEA Billy bookcase, trying to work out where this set would look best. I think I'm just gonna order it online rather than go down to my local Lego shop.Do we think the website might crash? I was hoping that we'd get the spring vip parts. I should wait for double VIP or a better GWP. I will have to modify brickhead Frodo's hair severely and the tiny house doesn't really interest me. But even though I should wait, I don't think I will.

I mean regular B1s cost so much less to produce than minifigs we really should get a ton included in clone packs. I mean their parts are all simple unprinted parts ( simple as in unlike minifig torsos and legs where they have to fit the arms into the torsos, the hands into the arms and the legs into the hips) and other than the head (and to a lesser extent the legs) the other b1 parts are used as common parts across themes. Though TBH the B1s could do with being more sturdy.

Yeah I can't see it being gunmetal grey, that just wouldn't make sense. It's a drawing not a photo so you can't trust sheen. Yeah it probably is dark brown, which is accurate enough as his under suit is mostly dark brown, it just ends up making the whole figure look a bit too brown and they DBG would work better for some lighting but dark brown for others. Found one, written up by @THELEGOBATMAN (thank you for your service) in the 2023 news thread. Yeah the blue makes me think Clan Kyrze, but it doesn't look to be Axe Woves unless he's changed up his armour (and face looks too young for Axe but it's not a new face anyway).

I'm imagining they might just appear on shop shelves with no fanfare. And then on lego.com a little bit later.

You know, Jiminy Cricket with e queen of hearts head would make a pretty great Jarvis Tetch/ Mad hatter

not only that but it looks to be an updated fig of Din, with UCS razor crest style helmet print and maybe a dark blueish grey undersuit? (it might be the same though)

It'd be funny if the leaked Mando was from the summer set not one of the spring ones. Does anyone have a nice comprehensive list of what we are expecting and when? Like @Scarilian has been doing on the marvel thread.

Ridiculous idea, it's brilliant I love it.

It's not a leak. It's an official reveal. What do we actually know about the Jabba's diorama? Was it Bossk, moulded Jabba, 1*2 brick Carbonite Han in the Mando sets style and did we know the quote? Edit: not Bossk, Boushh
