I’m all for Super Battle Droids finally making a come back but I really wish they would have done these clone sets when they had a better design. I’m just not a fan of these combined realistic/animated designs and the grey cheeks just don’t look good to me. I like this Millennium Falcon Christmas set though. I hope they continue this trend in future years. I’m still so excited for the UCS Venator. I’ve been saving my VIP points for the one day they finally made this set and while I’ll be just a hair shy, I’ll be almost able to get it purely with my saved points.

I haven’t seen anyone else post it but could have missed it but the AT-TE is up on LEGO US max of 3.

I don't really understand why they keep giving us so many Clone Commanders, especially in the Advent Calendar. I mean if you bought every set currently available or will be in the near future that has a Phase 1 Clone Trooper, you'd have 3 Clone Commanders and 2 Regular Clones. It just seems kind of lazy. If they threw in a Captain, Lieutenant, or Sergeant instead I would be willing to bet that the Advent Calendar would at least sell a little better than it's currently going to. When do the rumors for the set names for a winter wave generally start showing up? Willing to bet the $9.99 is either a Millennium Falcon or Luke's Landspeeder Microfighter at this rate. Either way I'm always excited to see what the next wave holds. The amount of movies and shows to pull from now and in the future is getting kind of crazy honestly.

I don't think Kuiil looks great, but I think slapping some medium legs would help a little. Unless I'm just completely misremembering, Kuiil seemed taller than any of the other Ugnaught's we've seen so throwing on some slightly bigger legs might help it look a little too, top heavy?

Anyone else find it weird that we haven't gotten a Super Battle Droid since 75085 Hailfire Droid back in 2015? I'm also curious why LEGO has never made a crab droid. They only have slightly less screen time than the Spider Droids and they haven't even made an attempt at one. Either way, the AT-TE looks fantastic. Figures all look amazing! I'm glad they added something beyond just the 212th troopers with the Clone Gunner. (Personally wish they would have swapped out one of the 212th for an airborne for even more variety, but that's asking a little too much. I feel like these new helmet molds also help bring a great chance at other clone divisions and more specifically, Commanders, being made. I could see a Gunship or AT-OT in the mix in the coming years. The Justifier looks great too and the landing functions are pretty cool. The price point seems odd to me but it also looks pretty hefty of a build. I'm truly surprised LEGO was able to hold out as long as they did for these sets. It was rather refreshing getting to see something I hadn't already seen official images of like last years Light Cruiser. (I know the images leaked right before but I was already invested in the Conn with the Castle reveal)

Agreed. It seems like they might take the Gunship route with this one and just make it the oversized, detailed model rather than anything minifig scale. I'm kind of surprised after those poor quality AT-TE photos nothing else besides better photos of the 212th Troopers and their helmets has come up. It seems like after some poor quality photos some much nicer ones pop up fairly quickly after. Besides the AT-TE and Cad Bane's ship, is there anything else we haven't seen yet from this wave?

As for the Obi v Vader duel, while it's overall fairly average, the figures look absolutely amazing, especially that NED droid. I need a Chopper, K2SO, and NED droid death squad to roll up on some IMPs. I can understand the complaints of price but with LEGO's announcement of the price hike, I feel like every complaint is just beating a dead horse twice over at this point.

I've been saying it for a while but I could definitely see him having this ship AND a Razor Crest. I'm sure they could find some way to have it dock up with it. This N-1 is fun and has some great uses, but lets be honest, Mando is stubborn and you know he still wants a Razor Crest. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the wave. Seems like we'll be getting stuff pretty quickly here. I know we've only had 1 LEGO con so far but after last years "Surprise" reveal, I wouldn't be surprised if they reveal yet again a ship that we already know and have plenty of photos of.

Has anyone else had issues with their local stores not bringing out new products for at the very least a couple weeks? I live in the PNW is the US and every single Target, Fred Meyer, and Walmart never seem to have any new releases for weeks to even months. Costco and sometimes Amazon have been my only saviors on certain sets here and there.

I've placed a couple orders online, but stopped by my local store today and picked up the UCS Landspeeder. I thought the keychain promo was cool but was expecting it to be some cheaper plastic, boy was I wrong. This keychain is super solid and cool. Glad I'll have a couple of them. As for the $530.00 set that's supposed to be coming in the fall, have we gotten many rumors regarding it? I had seen a Yavin IV rebel base rumor, but that's the only thing I've seen so far. (Not even sure if that's even close to reliable)

Couldn't what everyone originally thought would be an Obi-wan (show) set is actually one of these 18+ Diorama type sets that is Vader vs Obi-wan from Episode 4? They seem to be on a roll for the OT dioramas. Vader's Meditation Chamber, Yoda's Hut, Trash Compactor, Death Star Run, why wouldn't they do one of the biggest scenes from the very first movie?

Just trying to make it movie accurate, no? As much as I didn’t want a UCS Landspeeder, I have to admit it doesn’t look bad at all. I’m not going to race to go get it but I’ll definitely pick it up eventually.

Cody is Beru confirmed? Jk. Honestly relieved all the speculation is over (for this at least) I really love the idea of multiple levels of gifts, the final being a small vignette with an exclusive figure. Definitely make me look forward to some future ones as well. *cough* Dexters Diner *cough cough* I haven’t participated in a May 4th event for LEGO in a while. Do they still do a small discount on older sets for the event?

Do we know when they generally release the information about the May 4th promo and the $ amount needed to spend to get it?

For some reason I totally forgot what the Spider Droid was and was imaging what I now remember as the crab droid from Episode 3, and now my disappointment is immeasurable.
