Where did you order them from?

As much as I have an issue with moderation here (you cant delete your own account, what kind of rubbish is that) im gonna disagree with you. The dude made a light hearted joke that isnt really a personal attack. If they made a tasteless offensive joke against your race, religion or your family its understandable but youre being rather emotional about this. If it bothers you that much just take a step back and ignore the guy, lots of folks here are quick to jump on a toxic emotion on a lego forum, you can be the better person and not join that list

Do we know what 75331 is supposed to be or when it releases? Its not UCS nor is it the advent calendar or a known set

The AT TE sounds like the star of the wave. The only thing that could ruin it is if the updated clone helmets have another stormtroopers family guy situation and become unmovable. The BD 1 set imo is the next best but ive learnt well now that lego busts get cheap quickly The obi wan sets sounds quite good, but disappointed that the inquisitor ship doesn't come with two purge troopers instead of kenobi. The figure count is a bit low for the price point but can be made up as long as this ship is actually functional. The duel set sounds like a mashup between the starkiller base and duel on mustafar set which is a good thing imo Im also excited for the obi wan starfighter, the price is definitely rising on these smaller sets but good to see they're adding figures and extra details to bulk up the package. The justifier sounds like a decent set honestly but its absolutely massive, why are they going for a minifig scale/oversized scale for a ship that not many people are hyped for. I cant imagine many people care for more than the three new figures. Im interested in it but would only entertain buying it at 50% off (that 80$ still doesn't entice me all that much) All in all a pretty good wave, not every wave has to be a 10/10 like last year and its quite clear theyre trying to do the synergy thing like last years summer wave. Also please help me perma delete my account, I'm 100% serious and dont see any option other than an old thread with the mods from there being smug

So... no one wants to talk about wankers24 also claiming that the smaller obiwan set is obi vs darth vader? Promobricks hasn't confirmed that rumours but has confirmed a Mario set rumour jnstead

Seems we have around 12 sets that are complete unknowns. Assuming we get 2 sets per TV show next year the allocation might be: 2 mandalorian S3 2 bad batch season 2 2 andor 2 kenobi 2 more BoBF? 2 potentially prequel or movie related? Obviously this isn't taking into account the UCS, MBS and advent calendar slots which take out 3 places, doesnt seem very likely for us to get desired remakes but id like to stay optimistic. The rumour of 2022 having staggered releases could suggest most of these sets are supposed to be new tv show merch.

Thought I'd remind you of what you said a whoping 10 minutes ago. Great observation! We'll see it next week with the HD pics for sure but id like to see how this works. The 2500 pieces ATAT by raskalinov puts those tevhnic ratchet joints at their limit. You can tell a heavier load would make the set crumble so id love to see how the designers tackled a minifig scaled set at 2.5× the mass

Theres just no pleasing some of you, im literally comparing it to the cross section picture and its damn near identical for a lego representation Definitely adding this to the wishlist, though the price point is ridiculous and I'm still waiting to pull my finger for the falcon.

Does anyone know why lego fragmented this years entire winter lineup?

Sorry dad I won't do it please dont get the belt.

This is exactly why so many people I met from the community are no longer there. I remember the communities I used to run used to have a respectable age range from 15-45 year olds all actively chilling and able to share experiences while having lego and upcoming sets as the uniting topic that brought us together. I remember so many nights where we would share stories about travel, cuisine and culture after an image or new set info would leak and thats the kind of thing that got me into leaks when I was an awkward and lonely teenager. People started splitting when the toxicity of information and elitism started coming up, suddenly you were allowed to act like a pompous douche just because you had info no one else did? Its a mindset that still exists to this day even with the smallest leak. It astounds me how alot of these guys are roughly my age and yet haven't moved an inch in their personality after all these years. Im at a stage where if I see the pictures, ill be happy but im not going to actively hunt or beg for them because eventually they come out and till then I have plenty of other things in life to keep me busy. If you feel that way, take a step back away from all this and after some time has passed, ask yourself if you want to come back to it. That's what I did and now I only ever come to get my account removed/banned/post quote filled to change my name. Cant use my Internet name without people finding this on a Google search and this amazing forum doesn't have a basic account removal feature.

Lego cracked down on leaks over the past few years. Typically you can expect pictures not more than 3 months after a list leaks but really it depends on whose generous enough to leak pictures they took

And what if its right? What can we hold over your head?

That logic doesn't make any sense. Just because you fit in a cardboard box doesnt make it "perfect scale". TIEs are not as small as you think they are.

That scale is too small and wouldn't even be worth the 20$. I think it works in context of exgremely large sets needing something small but not as a standalone thing (unless were talking about battlepacks). This downscale version looks authentic, the wings look like the same build but much smaller and thw body looks more or less the same. I wish they would've made the top canopy the old one piece design over the new brick built design which looks blocky and ugly especially when opened up.

Excluding droid carrier sets, lego is often stingy with massable units in their sets, which is why people rely on battlepacks to get their minifigures. Battlepacks releasing alongside these sets make one storm/ clone trooper per set acceptable because we have another source to mass them but without those packs lego needs to rethink how they are going to distribute these. Everyone wants massable armies, kids and adults alike, so a better solution than 30$ per 4 figs needs to be brainstormed.

Hold off on buying that clone trooper till around April-may. once next summer sets are on their way the current ones will have a discount and the BL prices will even out a bit

They did this with the han solo and the alien meatball hallway scene set in the force awakens. There was an extra guava death gang dude that got cut out of the minifig roster. Made me so salty.

I also think its good that star wars is finally being put on a cool down period, we need waves like 2012-2016 to return (2013s wave was ridiculously good). Right now, it looks like Harry Potter could be the new star wars for a few years and thats totally fine, star wars needs to have a few experimental waves especially as we weren't even getting the higher detail for higher price anymore (looking at you sith TIE and this entire summer wave). It is disappointing that we aren't getting the diorama or smaller sets and battlepacks anymore as those were peak affordable sets that catered to the display and play audience alike.

Piece counts have been updated. Besides the unknown mf and ucs, everything else is known, the 4+ set is 90 pieces. The shuttle is 589 pieces meaning we should have an interior which is important for kids to play. Im actually very excited to see what the builds look like and what the mando and third mf are. I also am curios as to what the 3 tie figures are, maybe it could be mando themed or something generic too. Kids like xwings and TIEs and their bounty hunters and sith alot more than you think. I think if presented a choice though, the kid would go for a clone wars set but they'd have tough luck since the adults wouldve already nabbed the shelves clean.

Alot of questions asked here are already answered in the source article but ill dunk it here quickly. The MF microfighter is said to have brown jacket solo, meaning spinoff solo or hoth solo minifigure. 101 pieces The dual Micro pack is a brick-built Tauntaun with luke skywalker and an ATAT with the generic ATATpilot Third Micro is unknown but I speculate it will be a TIE fighter. The smallest system set is mandalorian themed set for the good guys at 30 euros and is 276 pieces The junior 4+ set is an x wing trench run again but this time for the ST blue x wing The TIE fighter is 40 euros for 432 pieces, has 3 figures and has the same sized body but the wings are drastically reduced. Its described to look like a rebels TIE fighter and has way less detail. Probably just a smooth look. The Xwing is the same deal, 50 euros for 474 pieces and only has luke and r2. The wings and tail are much simpler looking and the nose is a new building technique. The size is about the same as the ones on the market. Theres a imperial shuttle for 80 euros Eventually we get a buildable figure and three helmets, two helmets are 10 euros more expensive and one is 10 euros cheaper. Rumor has it the helmets could be a vader and scout trooper and the buildable bust may be a probe droid(?) My personal opinions are that I'm glad lego is taking a step back and finally making their product affordable to their target demographic:kids. If I were a kid/teenager I would be overjoyed to know my savings could get me an affordable and fairly accurate version of a very iconic and desirable ship, I wouldn't care for accuracy and greebling and even as an adult I rarely do unless its something like a Y wing or a UCS set. Im also more than happy to have a year of a break atleast from needing to spend money at lego especially with todays economy. They missed a big opportunity to have maul vs ahsoka 1v1 style set they did with mustafar and starkiller base. Doing a clone themed set should've also been a no brainer. Maybe next years summer wave or the wave after that will have something bad batch themed.

LEGO is a company, it does not do you or anyone favours, it creates a product and you choose to pay the price they set. You may be OK with spending whatever for an ahsoka figure but many people are not OK with spending 15$ more for an extra figure.

There are alot of opinions here, some i agree with and some i disagree with. Whatever your stance, please vote with your wallet. Buying AATs and 501st sets in bulk is only going to reassure LEGO and have their marketing departments and higher ups greenlight sets that will hurt the consumer. I know this is parroted often on the Internet but believe me these companies have marketing departments who study trends very closely and sales send strong messages for future decisions. The IT-S is the only set ill pick up because its probably the only set at a good price and meets legos proper design standards. Also that CCBS super battle droid and 501st walkers cancellation still hurts

I feel you. Lego stores in the middle east sell microfighters for 20$, battlepacks for 30$ and obiwans hut sized set for 60$. Those are the good prices too, the new Poe Dameron xwing is 247$ and the sith TIE was 180$, no i am not typing random numbers in. I remember theres was a clearance sale and the constractions were 25$, the solo train set was 100$, and the old battlepacks (literally the TFA resistance battlepack) was 18$, on sale, atleast 50% off, let that sink in.

Its purely speculation but I wouldn't be surprised if we see battlepacks replaced with this more expensive option within the next few waves. People did vote with their wallet so expect to see less affordable options and piece counts in the future with star wars.
