Renown

Would personally like to see either a snowspeeder with updated canopy piece to accommodate the new helmet mould or finally a GR-75 medium transport, which could include Wedge, Hobbie and an assortment of Hoth Rebel troopers and Snowtroopers.

Interesting that the list suggests Porkins will feature in an X-Wing microfighter in the next wave. Hopefully this marks the start of releasing new rebel pilot helmets on the new mould. Suppose Porkins isn't too bad a place to start given his, erm, 'cultural significance' and the fact that his helmet design was worn by at least one other pilot in Rogue One, Vangos Grek, and I'm fairly certain it can be seen at Hoth as well.

It goes without saying that some of these 'vintage' themed sets will go flying off the shelves. I imagine they will look stunning in stores and am very happy to see LEGO doing something like this to mark the occasion. Can't believe I am saying this, but I may even buy a duplicate of one of these sets purely for the display value of the sealed box.

Potential speeder bike chase?

Managed to build one of the new X-Wings that I picked up recently. Very satisfied with the overall quality of the build and its aesthetic value on display. Definitely one to buy multiples of (once it is reduced of course).

Took advantage of the Argos 3 for 2 and picked up the AT-Hauler and two 75218 X-Wings. Looking forward to picking them up in a few days.

Managed to get 9516 Jabba's Palace, 75005 Rancor Pit, 75020 Jabba's Sail Barge and 75052 Mos Eisley Cantina from a friend for a cracking deal.

Stunning. Absolutely in awe at how fantastic it looks inside and out. Hats off to you.

I am so hyped to see it rebooted. Sincerely hope we get some decent sets.

I think the Raddus and the Resistance Lifeboat have clearly been mixed up on that list. Interesting to note the inclusion of a Resistance BB-unit (more than likely intended to represent BB-4 (tan) or 2BB-2 (blue) - both of which were present on the Raddus in the film, the former of which was presumably destroyed in the hangar bombing and the latter survived the bridge attack and attended Holdo's briefing). I do have my reservations. On a personal note, I would really like to see it as an official set.

Fantastic effort. Looks great.

Excellent work.

Quite possible. Will be interesting to see how well received this show is and whether or not that could impact how LEGO go about creating sets for it. Seem to recall the last wave of Rebels sets sold notably poorly in comparison to other items on offer at the time.

Very nice work indeed.

Interested to hear anything regarding these. It seems logical to assume we'll hear something of substance as we approach the winter and rumours start to emerge as to what the winter wave will consist of.

Very nice work. Keep it up.

Picked up the 75174 Desert Skiff reduced on Amazon, building it at the moment.

Excellent work. You just need to acquire the Han Solo Mudtrooper polybag, a couple of Mimban Stormtroopers and maybe a couple of mudtroopers and I'd say that little diorama is perfect.

Really happy with the Conveyex minifigures, but pretty disappointed with the set itself. I'll likely buy it when it is discounted or during an offer somewhere around christmas, but definitely need to buy a couple more rangetroopers. Just hope someone is able to release a decent mod instruction to make it look a bit better refined at the front particularly. AT-Hauler is a nice set, I will more than likely be picking it up at some point. Just hope we eventually get an official AT-DT to go with it, as I'd prefer to create something of a Mimban diorama with it and fill out my mudtrooper ranks.

To my understanding, in the new canon, Chan has not been identified by photograph, like he was in legend, and he just observed the battle going on from Yavin 4. Other pilots such as Ryle Torsyn (a Y-Wing pilot with a standard blue alliance firebirds helmet) who we see in the cockpit of a fighter in A New Hope aren't even canonical.

Same here. I imagine they've used the hovertank pilot helmet mould.

Firestar will create a good market here for sure. I'm in line for these helmets. Sincerely hope they pursue more helmet variations if these custom helmets prove successful for them. Would like to see them do various as-yet unreleased imperial officer torsos as well, I think there is quite some potential there, particularly army builders. Chief Bast, Admiral Motti, General Tagge and the standard Empire Strikes Back Lieutenant would be fantastic additions.

Staz was the officer that encouraged Han to get a move on during the Mimban battle scenes before being blown up in an explosion, and then command fell to 'Captain Beckett'. I imagine Xodell can be spotted if one looks closely enough in the scene in which they walk through the trenches after the battle is over. I think if an imperial officer was to be included in a Mimban set, as has been suggested in the past by reports, then it would most likely be intended to represent Major Staz or Lieutenant Bolandin (the officer who ordered Han to be thrown in with 'the beast' after Beckett sold him out as a traitor). The described set included Chewbacca and a Mudtrooper also - if the set was indeed intended to represent Chewbacca's pit, then the rumoured minifigure selection would, theoretically, be Lieutenant Bolandin (as Staz has been killed in action by this point in the narrative), Chewie and a generic Swamp trooper. I do hope that this rumour has some validity to it as a future release, even if it seems to have been swept under the carpet recently, as it would be ideal as both a playset and a relatively inexpensive means of acquiring those Mudtroopers.

I think 75203's box would look a lot better if it were just a generic snowy background.
