Yeah, we were all expecting a certain moff or admiral or... something :p I do think it's weird that they've included Mando though: we already get him in a lot of sets... maybe he will be flying one of those ships?

Could the Yoda intercepter 75360 be mistaken with a vehicle from the latest episode, since it Grogu could easily be mistaken with Yoda on blurry images? It fits somewhat with the setnumber, since 75361 was the spider-droid-thing?

Hahaha, yeah... that's probably the only way that could work! We should compare with other 'vehicle-sets': Jusitifier, €170 euro, 4,5 minifigures Imperial Light Cruiser, €160, 6 Minifigures (incl baby Yoda) AT-AT, €160, 6 Minifigures AT-TE, €140, 5 Minifigures, 3 droids Inquisitor Scythe, €100, 4 Minifigures. Ambush on Ferrix, €80, 3 Minifigures. Unless the minifigures are front and center, due to a lack of vehicles, such as with the throne room set or the rumoured Yavin IV, I don't think we should be expecting that many minifigures. The only recent +- exception I can think of was the Bad Batch shuttle, which was €110 and had 5 minifigures. (But it was €10 more expensive, before recent inflation)

Thank the maker! I would be very surprised. My guess would also be 4 minifigures like with the A-wing vs Tie-Advanced.

WAIT WHAT?

Seems like they were added OOS.

I have to agree. 630 pieces for 70 euro is already stretching it, but these are mostly small pieces, with no minifigures. The two printed pieces don't seem 'crucial' either. I think most of us could assemble the model easily with only a small Bricklink/PAB purchase to supplement our own collection...

Could Yoda's starfighter not easily been mistaken for something like this? (remember the Sebulba figure that was rumoured with Grievious his fighter?) (would still be weird imo, considering it's niche and we have a Jedi Starfighter on shelfs right now... ) ^ that seems too small, I could see those enigines being 2x2 wide, the cockpit 4 studs wide... sized as a large microfighter Maybe combined with Dooku his speeder-thing, it also appeared in episode III, used by Anakin during Palpatines arrest, so it has some more iconic value to it?

Sooo you have a set list? Lego was wise to hide it from me. Now their failure is complete. If they will not give the list than perhaps Foggyfate will..

I like your ideas. Although 4 figures in a 35€ set is pushing it, this seems like an easy set for Lego to make at that price point? It's so obvious at that price point, it almost must have been pitched already? Never thought of it! The ion Cannon could easily be made, relatively cheap with these new pieces: Insert a play (shooting) feature, build some landscape around it, include some nice figures... Should be do-able at a relatively low budget. But somehow, I'm afraid there won't be enough appeal for such a set. The Nebulon B frigate is really something Lego must make, it's such an interesting design. I believe they will one day as an UCS since it was included in the poll for the gunship. Considering its shape, I don't see it as a system set though. It will be inherently hard to play with/swoosh... (I'm saying this as a big fan of system sets as opposed to overly expensive UCS sets that could as well have been smaller affordable system versions, that were affordable for kids.)

Similarly, I'm also a bit bitter that there are no smaller playsets and all they offer is this huge thing, clearly aimed at adults. I don't believe any smaller sets were rumoured so far? We got kids. My wife loved LOTR as a kid herself, we would buy some playsets for sure. But this? I doubt it. I also feel these large sets meant as display pieces simply don't have the charm some smaller playsets have, but that's down to personal taste I guess.

Not sure if it has been mentioned yet, There is a rumor on Instagram of a new helmet, being the rebel Endor one: https://www.instagram.com/p/CnsfaCoJ1mo/ (Bit disappointing, not a big fan of the adult orientated line/helmets in general... but this one in particular doesn't seem so iconic to display? Will look rather 'empty' on display.)

Do these sizes resemble any existing boxes we know of so far? Battlepacks have been 19cm long/wide. They seems more square like the old diorama sets (final duel I &II were 14.4x14.4 f.e.) Brickheadz are usually thicker (>6cm)

Yeah, or something similar but with figs? The new series deliver a lot of material which lends itself towards sets similar to the final duel I and II f.e.: small 'dioramas' with one or two figs. I mostly think about figs or scenes who are too niche to warrant a large set. I would love it, but I doubt Lego would do this kind of set again. Whatever it is, I hope it targets children. I feel like Lego Star Wars is losing a lot of charm over the years and is getting a "adults first"-reputation.

Apologies, I saw everyone debating over a gunship, I missed your comment. Hmm the 2013 gunship was 1175 pieces, the 2008 one 1004 pieces. The ghost was 929 pieces. A new edition of a gunship at that price point, with fewer pieces than the 2013 version? I don't know.

Funny that nobody is suggesting the Ghost as a 160 or 200$ set? It's going to appear in Ashoka and is a highly sought after set, having only been made once by Lego and Lego has no variant of this set on shelves.

Not to mention Dreamland has stopped most of those sales as of this year. My October 28th order is also still in warehouse... Bit strange to be honest, I saw other, later, standard orders from people nearby already arrive.

Similar situation here. Sometimes the parts you ordered aren't readily available, and you have to wait a bit for a specific order. In my case: the Nets (10x10).

I hate them! 😅

In Belgium the 2022 parts were added for a couple of hours last week before they disappeared again... The squirrels and Jane Goodall minifigure parts also vanished from my cart.

Are you aware none of the 2022 pieces have showed up yet?

Could Lego be doing the delay of new parts-thing in order to stimulate sales of new sets towards bricklink-stores and AFOLs?

They are removing all non-bestseller pieces. I've heard they want to catch up with orders. In Belgium, I saw the parts available drop everytime I refreshed: one minute later:

Weird, on the Belgian site, you're automatically redirected to the pick a brick section on the site. Using the Belgian site, there is no way to access bricks and pieces to buy new pieces. I've send an e-mail to their customer service. Edit: now B&P is accessible again... weird.

The new system is an absolute disaster in Belgium at the moment, almost no parts are available: (I compared to the dutch site, you have thousands of bricks available.)
