Like I've said multiple times, he's a member of this forum and deserves the same respect as anyone else. If you don't like him or his content, don't watch it. But, I guess that's too difficult since we live in a culture where everyone feels "entitled" to everyone else's thoughts and actions...Why can't we just live and let live?

I believe it to be 100% true. Based on his stream from last night, it sounded like one of his friends showed him an early review copy.

It's the commander, which is technically Ponds in canon. Ryan said that he has leg printing, so I'm wondering if his print will be like the lieutenant in the 2015 hailfire droid or in the 2020 style...

Looks like I was right...she does!!! This wave is too good

The info came from Solid Brix Studios' video, but there are no direct quotes. He just paraphrased what the designers said in the interview.

Boba's head leaked. It looks pretty good!

Crosshair's head is from the shuttle. Someone got it early :)

I don't think that the angle does the Armorer's helmet justice, but these minifigures look so good! Easily one of the best waves ever 😁

Gideon definitely has a new face print - I can see his mustache, but I’m not sure about Fennec’s I 100% agree with this. It’s not perfect, but it’s the best option out of the existing hairpieces

Does Fennec have arm printing? I think I see two lines going around her wrist, but I’m not sure

Yeah, I got the same email for the BB Shuttle and the Mediation Chamber. I ordered them when they both went live. It’s just an automated email since the the order won’t be fulfilled for a while

I just found this RFLM day article from Jay's Brick Blog. They said that revisiting Clone Wars and Rebels ships are "niche," but "nothing is ruled out." I guess that this is just more evidence of the disconnect between the designers and what fans want. They also mentioned there are more female characters in the source material now to put into sets. I think this is a valid point, however, it's frustrating to see how dirty they've done Padme over the past 20+ years. She's only been in 7 sets and only had 4 different outfits...

Yeah, it's hard to tell, but I think I see the shoulder pad printing on the top of the arms. Also, it looks like there's no stormtrooper either. Besides the overall build, the screen and new Piett are the highlights for me

I could be wrong, but didn't some of the leakers post that they heard the same information about CMFs from their sources as well?

Can we stop making personal attacks towards MandR every time he's mentioned in this forum? He's a member of the forum and deserves the same respect as anybody else. If you don't like him or his content, don't watch it.

I get what you're saying, but Diamond Select just started making Star Wars action figures at a 7-inch scale. They're very similar to Hasbro's Black Series which are 6-inch scale figures. Edit: I also want to add that Funko has to make bubbleheads for Marvel and there's a 6-inch Hasbro line too. I would assume that Star Wars and Marvel's contracts are very similar. So, why does Marvel get a CMF? Maybe there's some truth behind what both Ryan and the designers said?

The Death Star Final Duel is rumored to have a short production run and the Bespin Duel was a limited NA/Con exclusive set. Whereas the Mandalorian sets will probably stay on shelves for a longer amount of time, so having two different variants of the Beskar torso would create more logistics issues.

I think all of the Beskar torsos will have arm printing. The designer of the Daily Bugle explained this in the Reddit AMA: "The limiting factor, isn't pure finance, it's is the same one you have at home. Space. After a while you run out of places to put your LEGO. Think of each factory having a limited amount of space (I won't go into why it's limited, read 'Brick by Brick' by David C. Robertson if you want to know what happens when LEGO didn't have limits). Every brick made, in each colour has to go into it's own box. This box needs to be stored until it's ready to be packed into the bags in the retail boxes you buy. So there are thousands of boxes. Each year some bricks stop being made and this leaves empty boxes we can fill with new bricks (or new colours of bricks at least). So each team of Designers is given a number of boxes it has the chance to fill." So, if they did one torso with arm printing and another without, it would take up more space in the factory.

He does! The only thing I'm worried about is the QC for his eyes. The red and yellow on them can be really wonky and make him look crossed-eyed

We're not. The rumored minifigures are a P1 clone captain and Mace Windu. The reasoning is that UCS sets focus on builds and not minifigures.

That would make sense. It's also weird because they rarely go by the in-universe name for vehicles like this

Someone posted a retailer list for the summer wave on the LSW subreddit. It looks like the official set name for the Imperial transport is the "Trexler Marauder"

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think @MandRproductions's point was that a Star Wars CMF isn't coming. I think his point was that LEGO (allegedly) could have always done it, but just blamed Hasbro instead of themselves

I just looked over the 360 view and it looks like the backpacks are printed on the torsos. Wrecker has two connectors on the back of the armor piece which will probably be used for Paz Vizsla's gun/jetpack
