As @HarryVader says, In the US they were the prices of the Star Wars battle packs, which also came with 4 figures and a small vehicle, at that time. Battle packs are still $15, so I don’t think the $10 set is going to have 4 figures.

Yeah, I think the majority of people were expecting it to be bigger. I think this puts the set on track for a May 2020 release, unless I missed something. Hahaha I’m surprised you spent so much time to put into arguing that the ST has less screen time as part of an argument about a Star Wars LEGO set against some idiot on a forum. Sure, 18%, You’ve done the math! At the end of the day it’s still an entire trilogy and they’re not going to ignore it, and whether or not you personally like them isn’t going to impact whether or not they show up. (This also seems like a good time to peddle the “advent calendars are how LEGO gets rid of leftover figure stock” conspiracy, since all these figures showed up in 2019/2020 sets, besides the exclusive ones) Your mind clearly won’t be changed on the quality of the set on your opinion, and I won’t try.

It's an ugly christmas sweater, and I don't know if it's just translation errors or something but a "plain city torso not yet released in city" doesn't make sense to me. It's an exclusive star wars mold. And the sequel trilogy is roughly 1/3 the franchise, is that better? 3 films and the resistance show, it just has less seasons than TCW and rebels. It's got a fair amount of content, and we've only had one prequel UCS so far, the vast majority of them are for the OT, so of course there's no sequel UCS. And the "significant fan base that doesn't care about ST sets" is probably not the target audience of lego sets, I haven't seen many 6-12 year olds hating on the sequel films. :) And to be perfectly honest, your set expectations are completely unrealistic. Santa chewie is the only SW figure you could make a case for fitting in an authentic SW environment though. Santa yoda, santa maul, santa fett, the previous santa vader, santa c-3po, and bb-8 and porg with christmas hats all don't fit in normal SW settings. Even then, Chewie's got his red and green bandolier. Personally I think this is a great calendar. The return of the exclusive christmas figure, 2 major new characters, one of whom may have an exclusive sweater too, as well as the sith trooper, stormtrooper, and obligatory battle droid, who are all great army builders. And the first official lucrehulk doesn't hurt either, even if it's just a microbuild at least they know the ship exists!

YUP! I'm pretty happy, it's a major prequel ship, and especially since it's a separatist one and not trade federation. (not that that'd be a difficult thing to change at this scale, but I digress) Multiple leakers have said it's a new sweater print. @STARHAWK, don't get discouraged too soon: The Vader has an exclusive sweater print (maybe Poe too), so there is at least one interesting exclusive christmas minifigure I'd say Poe and Rey aren't that common, and there's nothing wrong with a battledroid for armybuilding. The minibuilds have been in these since the beginning, it's inevitable. The sequel trilogy thing is opinion, but I would say that lego can't ignore 1/3 the franchise. The OT stormtrooper helmet thing, yeah, I've got to agree with you there, not a fan of the new helmet design, although it is more likely.

Very detailed interior, that looks great! I especially like how all the consoles are set up, and the power generator build.

Thanks! Although I wouldn't say my sets are better. And yeah, can't wait for that ROTS super wave. We really do need another hailfire, whether it's smaller or larger, as long as it doesn't use those clear dishes as wheels again.

I just swap the heads and hair and use them as mos eisley civilians, but yeah, it's disappointing it's not bespin luke. Yeah, he's definately not in his pilot or TROS outfit. Pit droid is nice too, since it counts as a build but works with figures. Poe's holding something weird, it looks to have translucent pieces to me. Rey is holding a lightsaber hilt in the image of the opened box, but no lightsaber blade at all as far as I can tell, so no hint there on whether it's a blue or yellow saber. There is also what I believe to be our first lucrehulk ship mini build above the falcon.

Well, besides the name: Isn't this next one supposed to be rated R? The previous one is definitely much more adult than your standard superhero film, even if it was still pg-13. I think we'd most likely see something like what you mention at the end, and get suicide squad characters in batman sets.

Neither can I, I’ve already pre-ordered it, it looks like such a great set! I was expecting something like your TPM list, and boy, I was not disappointed. That’s a heck of a lot of sets, and they all sound great! Standouts include Pentaki areana and the dropship, as well as your $30-50 large army builders! Or his lines where he rants about how the Galaxy needs a dictator! since @ArrowBricks just did attack of the clones, I was thinking about going to ROTS and looping back around in my lists, but his style is grander in scale, meant to be spread across waves, so I’ll do my 1-wave list I’ve been doing. microfighters: AT-TE $9.99: clone trooper hail fire droid $9.99: super battle droid Hardcell vs acclamator class assault ship $19.99: clone commander and Wat Tambor battle packs: geonosis clones ($14.99): small BARC and a bit of terrain, 2 p1 shinies, clone captain, clone lieutenant. Separatist forces $14.99: 2 winged geonosians, 2 B2s, 2 geonosis b1s. Build is one of those things the geonosians ride in the areana. A spear is included as well as 2 sonic guns with the overwatch gun as a base. duel kamino duel $19.99: Jango fett and obi-wan kenobi. Comes with a Kamino platform and some parts to replicate jango’s gadgets Smallish location set(s): (bending this one a bit to get a larger Pentaki) Pentaki areana $39.99: overlook and a brick built ackley with a pillar. Comes with Obi-wan, dooku, 2 B2s and mace windu Geonosis beasts ($49.99): anakin, padme, a geonosian , 2b1s, and Nute Gunrey. Comes with 2 pillars, the reek and nexu, and a bit of the stands. other sets: Hailfire droid $54.99: larger, more accurate hailfire with Pablo Jill, 2 clone troopers, a droidika and 2 b2s the Battle of Geonosis $79.99: geonosian cannon, clone command center, BARC, dwarf spider droid, and some terrain. Comes with 2 clone troopers, 2 b1s, clone captain, b1 commander, yoda, bultar swan, and 2 geonosians. AT-TE $99.99: at-te with 2 droidikas. Comes with 4 clone troopers, 2 at-te pilots, poggle, and 4 b1s. UCS: Republic gunship $399.99: larger gunship with a clone pilot, clone trooper, and Jedi bob.

Same. Makes it look more anime-like, which works pretty well considering the style of the short.

It’d be cool to see one the same way they did TLBM’s killer croc, with a LEGO shark head on a new bigfig body

Yeah, that prince of Persia style for it would work great! Attack of the Clones is next for me, too, but as someone who only likes the last 10 minutes of the film it’ll be tough for me to make a wave . Certainly not one as big as your TPM wave.

*puts on tinfoil hat* Time to peddle my “we’ve never had a comic based General-release avengers set“ conspiracy! I don’t know what’s happening with those animated shows they made sets on, but I could see them using their very loose game-inspired thing for a bit if there aren’t any upcoming shows. I understand the logic and agree with you and LEGO here, I just meant that despite what they said they had delayed stuff before. Although I guess that was less so “due to the pandemic” and more so because minions completely overreacted in terms of how far they delayed the film.

I think you’re right and the eternals sets won’t be delayed, but I still find it weird that they say the pandemic won’t change their release schedule when it already did with that minions movie. Yes, it’s legos time to give us a mech that actually makes sense, instead of spider man mechs and thanos mechs.

As @ARC2149Nova says, Star killer base really only had the splitting thing and random stuff to knock down. The speeder itself provides enough play value on its own, and adding a feature to knock the vaporator over would make it a set. You’re right that sets being released before doesn’t guarantee a rerelease (where’s my tie bomber ), I just meant that they’d done it before so it wasn’t out of the question. speaking of TPM though, I’ll do a wave for that, since I started with ESB and went through TROS, although it won’t be as good as the one you made and probably have some ideas from yours as well. Microfighters: Lucrehulk battleship ($9.99): Nute Gunrey (legs instead of skirt) republic cruiser ($9.99): Obi-Wan podracers ($19.99): anakin and sebulba’s pod racers with their respective figures battle packs: naboo forces ($14.99): 2 Naboo security guards, 2 gungans. Build is a brick-built kaadu and wheel thingie. trade federation ($14.99): 6 battle droids, 2 droidikas, and a STAP duel: tatooine duel (couldn’t resist, sorry!) $19.99: Qui-gon and Maul, mauls speeder and some terrain with a vaporator. $30 location set: naboo palace rescue ($29.99): From the scene where they rescue the queen in the first act. The queen, Qui-Gon, and 2 droids. Build is some of that naboo architecture with the balcony they swing down from. other sets: Vulture droid attack ($19.99): Correctly sized vulture droid with 2 battle droids and obi-wan sebulba’s podracer ($49.99): podracer with sebulba, 2 pit droids, wald, and Shmi The Duel of the Fates ($69.99): large duel area with the catwalks, ray shields, hole for maul to fall into, and some naboo hallways on the sides. Comes with maul, Obi-wan, Qui-gon, padme (purple outfit), panaka, 2 b1s. Trade federation landing craft ($179.99) massive landing craft with a platoon transport, some crates, and 2 STAPS inside, as well as an opening ramp. Comes with 2 B1 pilots, 24 battle droids, Qui-gon, and Jar Jar UCS: MTT ($399.99) massive MTT, although there is some more focus on display it still has the iconic droid rack. Comes with 20 battle droids to go on the rack and Nute Gunrey and his second in command as minifigures.

2018’s exclusive was an imperial landing craft from ANH... it being a store exclusive doesn’t mean much really, it could honestly be anything

I love it! The use of the tantive IV cone piece is unique and works great, and all the interior space makes it a great play set like you say. If you’re looking to continue the medical corps theme, maybe a base, or the shuttle to-scale with the capital ship?

I think some of the others are mixes too, I’m not sure why. No. Marvel is big right now, but I suspect it will fade now that endgames done. Even without that, Star Wars is...well, Star Wars. The biggest original franchise of all time. Marvel has some really successful movies that I don’t get why we don’t have more sets of, but pumping out the amount of sets they do for Star Wars for comic/game based stuff, or the non team-up films, would not work financially

Exactly. It’s an accurate part to use for a comic based hulk buster, but the build itself is inaccurate so it looks weird

That’s possible, but if there isn’t any tech, those costumes are easily over twice the price they should be. yeah, I’m not sure about the playability of this either. The “coins” are just a digital thing, a number the figure has, there’s no real motivation for kids to get them.

Thanks for clarifying. weirdly enough I’m glad, just because that troll (with what, 3 accounts by now) kept pushing that set I’ve been out of town and trying to use the site mobile, so this recap helps a lot, thank you! Yeah, that guy was annoying. the thing about the bomber is that the wings would end up using about as many parts/cost as much as normal TIE wings, but the cockpit is bigger and then essentially doubled for the bomb bay. I think $100 would make sense. Really hoping that we learn what that set is soon though, we could speculate until the end of time and it’ll still be something we never could have guessed.

To add to this, one of the first ever Star Wars sets was a small duel set with qui-gon, maul, his speeder, and some terrain, like a moisture vaporator. I could see it happening

Hahaha Makes sense. I’m holding off from the tower bc I’ve got a limited budget too and I’ll be buying the entire stock of 501st battle packs from the Star Wars line. (I’m only half joking about that)

As others have said in the thread for discussion, falcon fan just posted a picture of the duel, which he does sometimes not as a leak just if he likes something he’ll post it sometimes. Falcon fan is a very reliable source, but not everything he posts is a leak, don’t get your hopes up too much. Continuing on with my lists, a TROS wave: microfighters: Final Order Star Destroyer ($9.99): General Pryde Millenium falcon ($9.99): Old Lando TIE dagger vs Poe’s x-wing ($19.99): Sith trooper and Poe Dameron battle packs: Sith eternal battle pack ($14.99): 2 sith troopers, treadspeeder driver, jet trooper. Build is a treadspeeder. Freedom fighters battle pack ($14.99): 2 resistance troopers, 2 of Jannah’s troopers, 2 space horse builds duel: Death Star Ruins Duel ($19.99): Rey and Kylo $20-30 location type set: Command ship battle ($29.99): some ground with a gun turret and space horse. Comes with Jannah, Finn, and a final order jet trooper Other sets: speeder chase($29.99): Poe’s stolen speeder with Poe, Finn, C-3PO and a jet trooper Exogol ($59.99): throne, palp’s puppet thing, a pit area, and the are where Ben and the knights are. Comes with Rey, Ben, Palpatine (reborn), Palpatine (nightmare fuel), and 2 knights Resistance B-wing ($84.99) resistance b-wing and stand with Aftab Ackbar, general leia, resistance trooper, and technician. final order star destroyer ($149.99). Final order destroyer with pryde, Kylo Ren, 2 final order technicians, 2 sith troopers, and 2 officers.

1.Did the same thing for the action battle set. 2. I agree, though that may be my ESB bias and hope to complete the TIE fleet 3. Bond 26 starring childish landino when? I think it’s obi was holding a magnaguard staff
