Lama Su would be awesome! I think he would need a new head mold for his large collar and fin on top of his head.

As Brickwraith had mentioned, an early episode the Separatist MTT was featured in was Liberty on Ryloth. Wat Tambor, a tactical droid, and Cham Syndulla are major players in that episode. Perhaps Tambor would indeed make sense for this one (also as a nod to ROTS anniversary!).

Same with Max.

Can anyone see in the photos if there's a rope for Luke and Leia to swing onto the skiff? One of the most iconic parts of the scene imo

Itavix on Insta had the pictures and he also posted an updated figure list: Jabba, Bib Fortuna, Salacious Crumb, Slave Leia, C-3PO, R2-D2, Max Rebo, Gamorrean, and three other guards (Wooof, Kithaba and Vizam). Also claimed the set would be $500. Very hopeful this is accurate!! Great to get more of Jabba's goons.

Honestly insane how little we know about the Barge so close to release. There's an interior, but no word on how substantial or what's included. Figure list is vague and short on details about what's new/re-used. I'm still wondering whether they'll reuse the Neel head for Max and if they bring back Slave Leia's hairpiece. And MOST of all, it's wild to me that we still don't have a confirmed price! Some say $500, some say more. Only a few more days to know for sure...

It's awesome and appropriate that a major character like Rex is not locked behind a $650 paywall. The only legit issue that MandR and others have pointed out is that Lego explicitly stated in the Venator instructions that both figures "are exclusive to this set." Just checked, the online instructions still say that to this day (even tho the microfighter is available). People could have easily been convinced to buy the Venator, thinking that's the only way they'd ever be able to add this Rex to their collections. Lego should not have included that deceptive language since they knew the figure would be rereleased within 8 months. As others have mentioned, Lego could have avoided this entire controversy by altering the head print (eg. removing the bandage). Then, they can still say Venator Rex is "exclusive", but everyone can still get basically the same figure for cheap.

Livestream is 5/1 at 8pm EST

Really interesting that Lego continues to use a different Grogu design for these videos. Since all the other featured characters are based on real minifigures, I'm wondering if they'll update the Grogu mold to be more accurate next time we see him.

Per Brick Clicker, Malak, Fives, Saw, Cal, Nien Nunb, and Young Leia are the main six figs. R2-KT is an "unofficial" anniversary fig that will be Lego exclusive/limited release (like the Obi-Wan 20th Anniversary fig). The droid will still have an anniversary stand.

Brick Clicker also said the Skiff set will include "one Desert Skiff and a small Sarlacc Pit"... No idea how they're gonna squeeze 558 pieces into this when the last two each had 200-300 pieces. Thought they might throw in two skiffs for the scene but apparently not.

If the Armory figures are in the back of the Shuttle instructions, then it likely also has HD pics of the rest of the wave's figs. Hopefully that means better pics soon!

Actually quite impressed with the Vader helmet! Infinitely better looking than the convention exclusive bust from a few years ago.

The only other piece of evidence that Lego MIGHT be allowed to make a cmf is that they sold the 20th anniversary Obi-Wan figure on its own. But yeah, definitely no reason to think it's happening yet.

Is there any place to sit down Luke, Han, Chewie, and Obi-Wan to have their cantina meeting? That's a pretty critical part of the cantina sequence, and I'm not seeing space to recreate that anywhere...

From the starwars.com designer interview: StarWars.com: Finally, who shot first? Jens Kronvold Frederiksen: The model includes an ejector seat so a minifigure can pop out of the seat when hit by the opponent’s blaster. We have included the function in both Greedo and Han Solo’s seat, so the decision is yours

New Lego Star Wars Holiday Special coming in November. Photos show a very intriguing Rose in her Rise of Skywalker outfit. Wonder it that figure will be in a future set now that’s it’s been designed :)

Just saw the keychain version in person for the first time at the Lego store- I have to agree that it looks much better in your hand than in pictures.

Agreed. Mold looks great- just wish it was a bit more to scale with his body!

At first it seemed to me that the head mold is just too big. I searched Ponda Baba on google images and the character’s head is larger than I remembered (which makes the mold more accurate), but the lower part of the face still seems way too wide. I think I need to see a better pic to know for sure. Is that a new hairpiece for Evazan? It doesn’t look exactly like the Tarkin hairpiece.

If there's a system scale AT-AT coming in April, that seems to make a UCS version pretty unlikely for this spring :(

Pic of the back of the box in the usual place

Yes, I think he's talking about a picture in a lego catalog about an hour and a half before the end of the stream. It looks very similar to the original UCS Falcon and is on the page with the UCS Death Star 2, ATST, Star Destroyer and TIE Bomber but it's hard to tell.

10225 R2-D2 had a rotating head, retractable third leg, computer interface arm, and saw. The saw was first seen in Return of the Jedi. Imagine if Lego had made the UCS R2 after A New Hope. They wouldn't have added the saw because it wasn't revealed until a later film.

I don't think a UCS BB-8 similar to the 10225 R2-D2 makes much sense at this point. Lucasfilm has purposely not shown any images of BB-8's functions in books to allow for the movies to reveal previously unseen functions (like R2 flying in Episode 2). If Disney made a UCS BB-8 now, they would not be able to include any BB-8 functions revealed in episodes 8 and 9. I just think a UCS BB-8 would better coincide with episode 9 after BB-8's hidden abilities have been unveiled.
