  1. MABS seems to have been introduced in 2018/2019 though. Some of these pieces are older than that (2016, 2017).
  2. Is part 25893 made from a special type of plastic? I noticed that some of my spare ones (that were not exposed to a lot of light) have become very yellow. The one on the right is for comparison. I haven't seen this happen with any other clear pieces in recent years.
  3. Maybe that rumored UCS AT-AT has been postponed to next year? It would be unusual to get three large exclusives in one year.
  4. Is there even a single prequel set this year? Unless you mean the UCS gunship, which is not part of the wave, or the Mandalorian throne room, which is merely from the same era. I'd love to see at least one real PT set.
  5. The new SW clone trooper head (6308125) is available for $/€ 0.32.
  6. 301 pieces, including Senator Palpatine, a republic pilot, and a blue senate guard.
  7. Well, Lego already made a Cody helmet mold... but only for the buildable action figure
  8. Well, it could mean CMFs... or it could mean they are going to use those new cardboard boxes instead of polybags.
  9. Lego could have put him in just about any GAR or CIS set, but they didn't. Not once in 16 years, not even in the 2020 Grievous' Starfighter where it would have made perfect sense. So one could get the impression that they don't want to release him in a regular set and that they are waiting for something else. Now the very first PT UCS set with minifigures has been announced, so some probably think that this is the only possibility that's left.
  10. I've built a few separatist MOCs: https://bricksafe.com/pages/Graupensuppe/sw-separatist-aat https://bricksafe.com/pages/Graupensuppe/sw-sheathipede-class-shuttle https://bricksafe.com/pages/Graupensuppe/sw-hardcell-class https://bricksafe.com/pages/Graupensuppe/sw-diamond-class https://bricksafe.com/pages/Graupensuppe/sw-separatist-nr-n99-tank-droid https://bricksafe.com/pages/Graupensuppe/sw-mankvim-814-interceptor https://bricksafe.com/pages/Graupensuppe/sw-grievous-belbullab-22-starfighter But they're only built in LDD; I don't know if the models are stable or of the parts exist in these colors.
  11. They don't really confirm it though, they just mention the rumors. By my calculations the model should be approximately 67 cm long with cannons and 56 cm without.
  12. That's the length of the LAAT/c dropship. The regular one is 17.4 meters long. If they use cockpit pieces with a length of 10 studs, the length of the model including cannons should be close to 70 cm. Quite a bit larger than minifigure scale. At Millennum Falcon scale it would only be 42 cm.
  13. Not sure if this counts as a Star Wars purchase, but I bought some minifigure parts to kitbash AotC clone troopers in training fatigues. Now I only need two of the new clone heads...
  14. Not for ships of that size. It makes sense for the UCS versions of small starfighters to be larger than minifigure scale. Huge ships and vehicles (starting at the 40 m Sandcrawler up to the 160 km Death Star) obviously can't be built at minifigure scale either. But the 35 m Millennium Falcon, the 20 m Imperial Shuttle, and the 20 m Slave I were released as minifigure scale UCS models, and the length of the Gunship (17.4 m) is pretty similar.
  15. Hogsmeade is a better Winter Village set than most of the actual Winter Village sets we've been getting lately. The shapes and proportions of the Great Hall looks much better than the 2018 version to me. Unfortunately the tower doesn't look like the Grand Staircase Tower at all.
  16. Armor and helmet prints are still sometimes based on the animated style, but there are no "cartoony" faces anymore.
  17. Some more generic minifigures would be great. Masked Death Eaters from OotP. Dementors (OotP / DH style). Suits of armor / knight statues.
  18. So... does that mean completely transparent minifigures are finally possible with the new plastic they've introduced?
  19. In RotS it appears on Coruscant when Obi-Wan talks with Yoda and Mace Windu, also in the Jedi temple hangar, during Obi-Wan's briefing with Cody and the 212th, and in several scenes on Utapau.
  20. The A-Wing included an A-Wing pilot. The Y-Wing included a Y-Wing pilot. The snowspeeder included two snowspeeder pilots. The Slave I included Boba Fett. The TIE fighter included a TIE pilot. Every UCS model that has one or more cockpits included minifigures of the corresponding pilots. It would be very surprising if the gunship didn't.
  21. Four 1x1 tiles with clip broke at the same time today when my Whomping Willow fell over: Is this a problem that affects all reddish brown pieces?
  22. I get that the amount of sets they had produced was pretty limited, but instead of selling them at several retailers in one country they could've at least sold them on lego.com in several countries.
  23. If they include RotS Cody, it would make more sense to include an RotS style pilot too.
