He doesn’t mean April 20th. It’s the 20th anniversary wave, in April. April has been the rumor for that for a long time now. But the “20th” referred to “anniversary” not “April”. The phrasing was just kinda wonky

Hey, I wanted some nice new Clone Wars figures as well, but keep in mind they’re continuing the series so those sets will come in time once it becomes more relevant again. Also, people are looking way too closely at the builds and figures and taking it too literally when these preliminary images very often use stand in parts and figures. Remember Coleman Trebor in the Jedi battle pack last year? These pics give us a general idea of what to expect but we can’t take them too literally. Wait for more physical leaks before jumping to conclusions

So it looks like the escape pod and Dewback is a dual microfighter after all. At least that’s kinda what it looks like. I’ll get some of the 4+ sets for the minifigs but the vehicles look terrible, not that I expected much. Extra parts I guess. I’m really hoping some of these are using stand in minifigs seeing as they are only prelims. If not, I will easily pass on the droid Gunship and AT-AP as neither have any desirable minifgures at all, at least none that I don’t already have. I’m really really hoping the actual sets have some new minifigs though. You can’t always take preliminary images at face value. I can’t wait for some physical leaks now

You might be right

Wow great find! Kinda looks like a cloud car but it looks a little too disproportional. I’d say it’s some kind of red speeder with a side car? Wonder what the minifig is

Fake Who is this Aethersprite person? I don’t recognize the name as someone I trust. Some of you might though so if anyone could shed some light on this I would love to find out more

I can’t get the pic to work but that “third praetorian Guard helmet” is almost definitely just a custom. That “leaked pic” looks like it’s literally just both Lego and custom versions of the same helmet on the Lego minifigures, the helmet being the already existing throne room version. As much as I hate to say it, I really don’t think we’ll be getting the third Guard. Look at the custom praetorian Guards on eBay and then compare it to the leaked image on IG.

I have those customs as well. They look good but I would prefer genuine Lego versions

I think my last post was confusing so I deleted it but yeah that third one really looked like a custom to me. I hope it’s legit and it’s just a bad picture but I am kinda worried about it

Any info on the May 4 UCS set yet?

As much as I’m sure the mods would love the fact that we’re talking about films and not legos, we should probably reign it in, or face their wrath. I simply wasn’t aware that they changed the helmets for TLJ but it makes me very happy that lego pays attention to that much detail. Now I really want to try and snag some of those FO battle packs before they’re gone so I can have some TLJ accurate Stormies

Wow, I guess you learn something new every day. I thought it was just Lego, I didn’t even notice it in the movie

I don’t think the Stormtroopers in the movies were any different. The new face printing on the FO Stormtroopers is just an update Lego added to the minifigs, they were all the same in the films I’m pretty sure. If not, then that went way over my head

In the image you can see the third type right next to the throne room type and they are clearly different

Yeah I was afraid of that. I was very much hoping for a Tantive IV but I didn’t really expect it

It’s a shame we get yet another of the same Harry minifig in that book. I really hope the Build Your Own Adventure book has either a different minifig or at least a different version of Harry

What a beautiful sight. I can’t believe they actually put all three different guards in one battle pack.

For the record, Tantive IV is neither confirmed nor even rumored. The minifig just makes us all wonder...

The Rebel Trooper looks incredible, it’s been long overdue. I sincerely hope this means a new Tantive IV, I’ve missed out on the ones they’ve made so far. If it is a Tantive IV set then I really hope it also includes Captain Antilles, and maybe another opportunity for Leia with the skirt piece? Also, do we k ow what minifigure will be included in that character encyclopedia yet? Or am I behind the times on that? I’m pretty sure it’s still a mystery...any guesses?

I wasn’t going to get the throne room set but I really liked the idea of the symmetry of having the throne room style set from each trilogy. Palpatine’s Arrest, Death Star Final Duel, and Snoke’s Throne Room.

Actually, I’ve come to the conclusion that the Guards having legs doesn’t bother me. It really makes a lot more sense than the skirt pieces because it mimicks the fluidity of their motion from the film much better than the skirt pieces. What bothers me is that now it's inconsistent with both versions. I have the ones with the skirt pieces and they look amazing (I love that new skirt piece so much) but now there are these new ones with legs that also look great and kinda make more sense but the inconsistency bothers me. Honestly, we’re very lucky to get two new helmet molds plus new shoulder molds just for these figures in the first place so I’m very happy with all of them

The new Praetorian Guards are on eBay but please don’t spend that much on one figure when in a short time you can get the whole battle pack for the same price

If the Praetorian Guards have legs and not the skirt piece I will be genuinely disappointed. But at least we have the throne room set so I suppose I can’t complain too much

I actually really like the new Stormtrooper helmet

People, all you have to do is a little bit of research to find leaked images. It’s not hard.
