Here, here! Seriously though, I just can't see her being missed out; it would be tantamount to rudeness really. I'm not saying she is going to be in a Resistance Transport set, although what other set could she really be in? She could have theoretically have been included in the Wave 1 Walker or the Wave 2 Crait set but wasn't which suggests to me that either 1) Lego has a better set for her to go in (i.e. Resistance Pod) or 2) They're not going to make her at all which, in the words of Jar Jar would be 'How rude!'.

I know that the rumour of the Resistance Transport has been called into question, but surely either 75203 or 75221 must be a Last Jedi set containing Leia? Her later appearance in the FA waves was understandable considering her lesser role in the movie, but her more prominent position in LJ means she surely must be getting honoured again in minifigure form? I only hope the delay proves worth it and we get a figure worthy of the late Carrie Fisher.

Thanks - she/he couldn't tell lol. Yeah I know; Rogue one produced some great figures, but it does seem strange when you have a 'line up' without the most important ones. Saw and Galen are the most notable for Rogue One I think. Still, there are still a few Summer Solo sets to come by the sounds of it so I see no reason for the main figures not to be made so long as Lego had the right info.

I presume we will see a L3 minifigure in one of the Summer Solo sets. She seemed like a significant part of the 'gang' from the trailer; a bit too like K2SO from the snippet seen, but that may be a premature conclusion. Either way, it kind of seems odd not to get her; maybe Lego wasn't aware of her role or she is coming later. In fact the first wave of Solo sets does seem a bit sparse in terms of main character minifigures, but I presume the Summer sets will rectify that. Actually really excited for the movie now after that trailer :)

They are two different antagonists; Dryden Vos is Paul Bettany's character whereas Enfys Nest is rumoured to be a woman.

For those in the UK who still want one (black VIP card or not), the MF is now saying on backorder to ship by 18th April.

Haha no problem :) I saw no reason why your efforts should be discarded. I can't personally keep up with who likes who. ? People can still read it in the comments either way. None of the others mentioned on Brickset were really believable so when it comes to actual 'pranks' I think yours did a lot better. If only that Lego vacuum was true ...

And here's me thinking Lego had a sense of humour. ?

That or it itself is an April Fools and Lego were actually taking the mick out of themselves by playing on the fact that they have become known for their overbearing legal procedure ...

This is getting out of hand ... ?

The page has been taken down :(

I know, I'm just glad he decided to formally point that out :)

Jang has started posting reviews for the April sets, including the jedi battlepack and Tie Fighter. Feel like I've seen everything already, but I like his reviews. But what I find most interesting is his legal disclaimer at the beginning of the video ... go Jang!

Go to ebay.co.uk and search Lego y wing pilot.

The whole issue of SW figures not getting as detailed printing as some other franchises is certainly frustrating, but I think the glaring issue here is that Lego set a precedent when they put arm printing on Zev and Will. Why would they then omit this detail from Vander's print? It's not like they have to make a new mold or anything so it then feels like it's just cutting corners to maximise profits on an expensive set. Just search Lego Y Wing Pilot. :)

Thanks :) That does seem odd for a UCS.

Yes I know; that's why I'd expect Vander to have arm printing if he comes in a UCS Y-Wing, but if the figure on eBay is correct then he doesn't. That's why he seems like a bit of a back step.

My thoughts exactly; helmet doesn't have enough grey to me and the lack of arm printing seems weird. Sure Wes and Wedge didn't get arm printing, but I thought that after Zev and Will got arm printing in the Snowspeeder that this was standard UCS. I wasn't expecting it for Biggs, but definitely for Vander. Of course, the guy selling this may have used the wrong torso, but only those in the know could confirm whether it is the correct torso or not.

It does seem to be a case of angry clone/ happy clone when it comes to Imperial troopers/ Rebel Pilots!

That is very true. I loved the Star Wars sets as a kid (Cloud City looked amazing to my kid self), but I put the microfighters equivalent on my Christmas list because that way I could play out more scenes. And my parents supported Lego more that any other toy, but were still not willing to pay for big sets, especially when their parts were not as conducive to rebuilding as say a large brick box. I recently visited a Toys R Us for the first time in years and, even as an adult, the height and width of the Lego 'wall' was ginormous. You know there are lots of themes and sets available, but seeing that wall really made me think that Lego have gone in the wrong direction. We all want as many SW sets as possible I think, but in general I think Lego have expanded to too many themes and too many sets. Quality over quantity I would say and some set choices lately (*cough* AT-ST) have not followed that mindset. I have limited myself to figure collecting to cut back on spending, but I recently thought of quitting altogether because the amount of sets and the rising prices means that it is a constant and increasingly expensive outlay. I appreciate the quality of some of the new figures and love seeing them in my minifigure frames, but on the other hand there are so many that I feel like you don't get to appreciate each figure like you used to because you soon move on to the next thing. Perhaps this is just a trend of modern life, but I think it relates a lot to Lego's problems.

I was looking at your list as it was the latest info. Good to know. Just noticed as well that you've got the USD for Yoda's Hut as 14.99 instead of 29.99 so don't know if you can change that. That would be good value! Thanks :) For once!

Over on the news thread it says that the price of 75209 Han's Speeder will be the same as Yoda's Hut. Is this guess work or confirmed? I only ask because whilst it looks like a £25.99 set it has 345 pieces. It would be good if it is, because those size sets were ridiculously overpriced last wave (they use to be £20 for that size) so that is better value. I'm not fussed about the builds for this wave as they are just not my thing so it will be hard to justify picking them up for the figs if they are more.

Totally :) It seems strange that Lego would stop producing Rebels sets so early, especially when they are still making Clone Wars sets. After all, both are now Disney canon and Filoni has intertwined the two so well. I understand how such a packed film schedule might limit their ability to continue producing Rebels sets after the show's end, but I would have thought that contractually they would have to make a set for current property, but clearly not. :(

Searching the new Lego Elves sets and the new dark earth blue / trans green dragon wing used on Noctura's Tower is available and fairly cheap - £1.46. Thought some dragon MOCers may be interested. :) I must say, availability seems very random e.g. the bat in the Wind Dragon set can be bought, but none of the other bats can be purchased. All I can think is that it is a 'loss leader' of sorts to get you to pick up a bat cheap and want to collect them all thus making you pick up all the other sets.

I too noticed this as I was never interested in Brickheadz until I saw Rey and Kylo who are just cute enough to get me interested and then hearing of the likes of Leia and Yoda coming soon. So then I thought I should probably pick up Phasma and Finn only to find that Phasma is Sold Out. Finn is still available but he is also listed as retiring soon. What was annoying was that they weren't showing as retiring soon until you clicked on them so I didn't realise they would be retiring so quickly - this has just changed so that it shows on the main search results. I could still pick up Finn, but as he never really caught my interest I probably won't bother now that I won't be able to get all the SW ones anyway. I don't think this is the case. Finn is also retiring soon, but it still available. Phasma is actually the one that has sold out.
