Tidy

iden fig leaked too. mmmmmmmmm. so happy about these inferno squad figs.

i hope so. lol. lol.

sigh.

never tell me the odds.

there's still no objective evidence of a small slave 1 ... don't know how many times i can say this. 1 snowie, and 3 rebels. that equals 4.

there is no objective evidence supporting a 4+ slave 1. the only scuttlebutt is the 1 snowie, and 3 rebels. april is a long way off though.

1 snowie, and 3 rebels is the scuttlebutt. regular. the only 4+ sets so far are the tie, x-wing and a-wing.

imho, only exception to that recently has been the imperial patrol speeder ...

.

mmmhmmm, and so much uncertainty that the sports book at caesar's is now taking bets ... whichever way the pendulum does swing, it's just another in the wave i can skip ... i didn't mean to infer otherwise ... ;-]

sometime next month.

US this is what azani has compiled from various sources. *** all Juniors™ are what have learned are the rebranded 4+ ... 75238, 75239, and 75240 are technically 'action/play' sets, and are a departure from the normal 'playset' ... note my distinction in the name ... 75236 is listed as different things in different places ... @Kevii23 added some clarification earlier ... what is absolute at this point; price and piece count.

a snowy forest 30+ years in the future ...

this is certainly nice to get some clarification on the r vs k ... i've wanted a nice system scale slave 1 for awhile now, so that is good news for april!

oh it is. just from a different place.

in the book there are 4 members.

was it that obvious? lol ... huge wallet saving wave ... =]] i too understand that the target audience is not me, and that they are re-releasing stuff for the next 'wave' of kids to get into, but they are re-releasing stuff that the target demo hasn't really been exposed to ... today's 10 year olds, doubtful they know the PT or CW very well ... for them star wars is rebels, the ST and anthologies ... and i really agree the 4+ is a step backwards ... my 4 year old wants the sets that her 7 y/o sister builds who wants harder and harder sets and prides herself in doing a set with the age listed well above her age ... there are still 2 sets that could surprise me, and even the retailer exclusives ... april could blow me away and i'll be back to finding a silver lining everywhere, but this wave just really bums me out.

fwiw. here's my 5 cents. i've always found the silver lining in almost every wave and set since 2016 ... but this one, what is happening ... i fully understand that these are really really really preliminary images ... 75223 - Naboo Starfighter - if you need a young anakin cry baby, here, he’s cheap, and they throw in an r2 too. 75224 - 75225 - Elite Praetorian Guards Battle Pack - missed opportunity to sell 100-200% more battle packs … underwhelming but hey at least there is a new helmet, small silver lining … the build for 2 battle packs should have been included in snoke’s throne room from the start to give that set better value. 75226 - Inferno Squad Battle Pack - prelim, hard to tell if the helmets will have red inferno squad and imperial logos with other red markings and if it is the 4 original members … definitely has potential for good imperial set. 75228 - Escape Pod vs. Dewback - wtf … c’mon. reminds me of brick built horses from the late 70’s early 80’s … oh and hey here’s another r2 for ya. the sandie is probably a reused one. nothing to see here. move along. 75229 - 75233 - Droid Gunship - did they just take the previous one and slap on the new box design? and throw in yoda for giggles? where’s the obligatory r2? 75234 - AT-AP - did they just take the previous one and slap on the new box design? 75235 - 4+ X-Wing Starfighter - i just don’t even know where to start with these 4+ abominations. luke and guess who? r2. and that new stormtrooper helmet that was stolen from family guy. i just. no. 75236 - 75237 - 4+ TIE Fighter - yay, a new rebel fleet trooper. for $20. that’s about all this sets amounts to. 75247 - 4+ A-Wing Starfighter - what appears to be a reused green a-wing pilot with r2, oh wait, no, that is 3po … surprised ya on that one.

well to be honest, nothing real has ever said ‘great vehicle’ ... someone somewhere along the way inferred the conf name (LEGO Star Wars TM CONF_GV_escape 75229) meant great vehicle. ??‍♂️

also a book that explores their backstory more. here's the cliffsnotes version ... http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Inferno_Squad

it's the hilt ... =/ ... no skirts ... this.

the x-wing is $30.

well ... be prepared ... it's true.

it's definitely 2 of the helmet like the buildable figure. the 3rd helmet, i can't say one way or the other.

i really hope so too ... i currently have 4 customs that are so good, but the colour is ever so slightly different from lego red ... looking at the graduation cap leak compared to my custom, it is almost imperceptible which is which ... i want to be able to throw my customs away and replace with legit lego ...
