Thank you!

I’ve found the new pilots in multiple places but where are we seeing the new Anakin figure? Discord/Instagram/Reddit? Where and what to search would be appreciated...

Watching it period was watching it the wrong way. #notmyLukeSkywalker

I’ve been fully expecting this. So excited to hear the V-19 rumor may be true after all!!!

I’ve always been surprised by the amount of backlash they get. I love the prequels, even Episode I save for Jar Jar. Episode II is my all time favorite film. Yes, I’m aware of all the criticisms and agree with many of them. As far as future set designs and UCS sets go, I do wish they would give the prequels more serious attention like LEGO did with the Summer 2013 and Winter 2014 waves. What a year that was. Complete redemption after all the years of the cheaply designed and cartoon looking “The Clone Wars” sets. Hoping with the release of the V-19 this year and if the minifigs continue to be based off their movie or “real world” counterparts, we’ll continue to see a nice trend with prequel era sets, like the Y-Wing.

Would love to see the Clone Wars era Y-Wing rereleased as well. I’ve always doubted that sets like that would ever be more than a one off because the prequel trilogy is so widely hated by fans... and it’s a ship that doesn’t appear anywhere in the actual movies. But, LEGO has surprised me before with Clone Wars sets so I guess there’s always hope.

Still, I’ve found the description we have so far to be very odd. I’m hoping something’s off about it, either that the speeder is completely separate from the V-19 or that it’s not a V-19 at all. Really hope this V-19 rumor is true but I don’t want to see the accuracy of the build sacrificed for this play feature. Can’t wait for more details!

Right there with you dreaming for more sets from the original Clone Wars mini-series (you know, the one that was actually good) but with TCW version of Anakin’s Starfighter already leaked we know what era they’re focusing on this wave. Good news is, with Anakin’s Starfighter already being rereleased, it makes complete sense for LEGO to rerelease the Torrent alongside it, which is what makes that rumor believable to me. I also think that with the Jedi/Clone battle pack releasing in April, we can rest assured that we will never have to suffer seeing stylized characters from TCW again. I’m confident the Anakin we receive this summer will be based off TCW, but have a more realistic/movie accurate printing to him. Same goes for any other TCW characters that may be released with the rumored Torrent. Really hoping those days are over... So many great sets and ships were released while TCW was running, but I’ve always cringed at the stylized characters. ESPECIALLY the troopers... Thank the makers for the summer 2013 wave that righted all the wrongs of that age.

It just doesn’t sound right. This is the most questionable detail of that rumor to me. It sounds like someone took the original wave of sets from TCW back in 2008 and just combined features from each set, including the character selection. Maybe that was LEGO’s goal, but I really hope they didn’t sacrifice the design of the build just to add that small feature in. The Torrent is my favorite starfighter from the entire saga, and I never owned the original set.

Regarding the V-19 Torrent rumor, does the description of the included speeder bike having a mount on the main build concern/confuse anyone? ”There is also a brown speeder bike which has a rail like design at the bottom, and can fit into the brick built rack on the Torrent which has a rather large slot.” The Torrent is a starfighter not a transport, not to mention I can’t see how LEGO could pull this off given the sleek design of the ship. I can’t imagine why or how this feature would be included in the set if the rumor is true.
