  1. I would recommend checking the the rules section of the site. Lots of explanations from the moderators in there under the "Info" tab on your top menu. Also, I could be wrong, but I don't think you can link anything until you have at least 10 posts on the site. I know for certain that private messaging and other functions are locked out until you hit 10 posts as part of site security and preventing spam-bot accounts. Cheers :)
  2. Good question. I believe you are being overly optimistic for the calendar. Lego has a long history of pulling most of the mini-figs from in production sets, but not usually from what they consider flagship sets. Based upon the sets that are on shelves at the moment (and the ones we know about from leaks), I am going to go with the following: B-1 Battledroid (the B-2 was in 2024, so back to B-1 for 2025) Stormtrooper (there is usually one regular trooper, and there was a clone trooper in 2024, so back to the Empire we go; plus if the Death Star is a big as we are being led to believe, then lots of these guys in production) R5-D4 (The 4+ Mando set appears to be a shelf-warmer, so maybe they have a bunch of these guys they need to blow out) One of: Christmas Thrawn or Christmas Maul. My hunch is Thrawn since Maul has been in the AC before. One of: Sabine or Ezra in holiday attire. Not 100% sure on these, they might be considered too niche. One of: Mandalorian Nite Owl, Imperial Commando or Rebel Fleet Trooper to fill the remaining mini-fig slot. Outside Chances: One of the Rebuild the Galaxy minifigs Qui Gonn (Just have the gut feeling they want to drive sales of the set he is currently in) Young Anakin (ditto to the above) One of the Skeleton Crew minifigs (suspect not, as they likely want to push the set) With all that said, Lego works in mysterious ways. We will have to wait and see. Cheers :)
  3. 25 minutes? Nah, took me a few years to compile that all together. I just had it all in a text document filed away. I used to fill in every quality survey link I got from Lego for shopping at the online store or one of the Lego Stores in the real world. When it came time for other comments I would always throw in at least one idea for a new Lego Star Wars set. Got out of the habit as the COVID-19 pandemic was winding down, so just been sitting on this list. I figured it was better to share it rather than sitting on it. Cheers :)
  4. And, while some of these have been done before, here are Microfighter ideas to spur our imaginations, and maybe even Lego's. Galactic Empire TIE Fighter (Mini-fig: TIE Pilot) TIE Interceptor (Mini-fig: TIE Pilot) TIE Bomber (Mini-fig: TIE Pilot) TIE Defender (Mini-fig: TIE Pilot) Darth Vader’s X1 TIE Advanced (Mini-fig: Darth Vader) Death Star (Mini-fig: Grand Moff Tarkin) Death Star II (Mini-fig: Emperor Palpatine) Imperial Star Destroyer (Mini-fig: Imperial Navy Captain) Executor/Super Star Destroyer (Mini-fig: Imperial Navy Admiral) Imperial Interdictor Cruiser (Mini-fig: Imperial Navy Crew) Imperial Lambda-Class Shuttle (Mini-fig: Imperial Shuttle Pilot) Imperial Zeta-Class Shuttle (Mini-fig: Imperial Cargo Pilot) Imperial Sentinel Landing Craft (Mini-fig: Sandtrooper) AT-ST (Mini-fig: AT-ST Driver) Imperial Assault Hovertank (Mini-fig: Hovertank Pilot) Imperial Troop Transport (Mini-fig: Stormtrooper) Imperial Speeder Bike (Mini-fig: Scout Trooper) Rebel Alliance A-Wing (Mini-fig: Green Squadron A-Wing Pilot) B-Wing (Mini-fig: Gray Squadron B-Wing Pilot) Red Two T-65 X-Wing (Mini-fig: Wedge Antilles, X-Wing Pilot) Red Five T-65 X-Wing (Mini-fig: Luke Skywalker, X-Wing Pilot) Gold Leader Y-Wing (Mini-fig: Gold Leader, Y-Wing Pilot) Z-95 Headhunter Fighter (Mini-fig: Rebel Pilot) Millennium Falcon (Mini-fig: Han Solo) Tantive IV Corellian Corvette (Mini-fig: Princess Leia) Hammerhead Corvette (Mini-fig: Rebel Alliance Naval Captain) Nebulon-B Frigate (Mini-fig: Rebel Alliance Fleet Trooper) Mon Calamari Cruiser – Home One (Mini-fig: Admiral Ackbar) Mon Calamari Cruiser – Liberty (Mini-fig: Mon Calamari Naval Officer) Alliance Gallofree GR-75 Transport (Mini-fig: Hoth Trooper) Tydirium, Stolen Imperial Lambda-Class Shuttle (Mini-fig: Rebel Alliance Commando) Rogue One, Stolen Imperial Zeta-Class Shuttle (Mini-fig: Bodhi Rook) Landspeeder (Mini-fig: Tatooine Luke Skywalker) Fringe/Non-Aligned Twin-Pod Cloud Car (Mini-fig: Bespin Wing Guard) Jawa Sandcrawler (Mini-fig: Jawa) Boba Fett’s Slave I (Mini-fig: Boba Fett) Jabba’s Sail Barge (Mini-fig: Jabba the Hutt) Desert Skiff (Mini-fig: Weequay Skiff Guard) Old Republic (Clone Wars) Naboo Royal Cruiser (Mini-fig: Padme Amidala) Naboo Fighter (Mini-fig: Naboo Pilot) Republic Attack Cruiser/Venator Class Destroyer (Mini-fig: Republic Naval Officer) Jedi Interceptor (Mini-fig: Obi-Wan Kenobi) Jedi Starfighter (Mini-fig: Plo Koon) Separatists (Clone Wars) Separatist Dreadnaught (Mini-fig: General Grievous) Trade Federation Battleship (Mini-fig: Nemoidian Commander) Darth Maul’s Sith Infiltrator (Mini-fig: Darth Maul) Jango Fett’s Slave I (Mini-fig: Jango Fett) Separatist Shuttle (Mini-fig: Rune Haarko) First Order First Order Star Destroyer (Mini-fig: First Order Officer) First Order Troop Transport (Mini-fig: Captain Phasma) Kylo Ren’s Shuttle (Mini-fig: First Order Shuttle Pilot) First Order Tie Fighter (Mini-fig: First Order Tie Fighter Pilot) Resistance Resistance Travel Pod (Mini-fig: Finn) Resistance Shuttle/Lifeboat (Mini-fig: Resistance Pilot) Resistance Bomber (Mini-fig: Resistance Bomber Pilot) Resistance T-70 X-wing (Mini-fig: Jessika Pava) Black Leader T-70 X-wing (Mini-fig: Poe Dameron) Cheers :)
  5. Nice, that would be a good one. Cheers :) Just toss a few others into the ring, what about these possible Microfighter Dual Packs: Jango Fett’s Slave I & Jedi Starfighter (Mini-figs: Jango Fett & Obi-Wan Kenobi) Star Destroyer & Tantive IV (Mini-figs: Imperial Navy Captain & Captain Antilles) TIE Fighter & X-Wing Fighter (Mini-figs: TIE Fighter Pilot & Rebel X-Wing Pilot) Darth Vader’s TIE Advanced & Red Five X-Wing (Mini-figs: Darth Vader & Luke Skywalker, X-Wing Pilot) Super Star Destroyer Executor & Rebel GR-75 Transport (Mini-figs: Admiral Piett & General Rieekan) Boba Fett’s Slave I & Millennium Falcon (Mini-figs: Boba Fett & Han Solo, post-Hoth chase versions) TIE Interceptor & A-Wing Starfighter (Mini-figs: TIE Fighter Pilot & A-Wing Pilot, RoTJ versions) Black Leader X-Wing & First Order TIE Fighter (Mini-figs: Poe Dameron & First Order TIE Pilot) Cheers :)
  6. @Mandalorianknight that is a beautiful set up. I may have to copy your format and think up a year or two. Cheers :)
  7. Hello, I will play the prediction game, but in a more controlled manner. For the 2025 Lego Star Wars Advent Calendar I predict the following figures: Rebel Fleet Trooper (since we have so many in circulation at the moment) Stormtrooper (Ditto to the above) B-1 Battle Droid (the B-2 is in the 2024 calendar, and there is always at least one Battle Droid) Holiday Han Solo (the only one of the Original Trilogy main cast not yet done in an ugly Christmas sweater) Holiday Chewbacca (there was Snow Chewbacca before, but Han and Chewie go together) One more mini that is in a 2025 set that has a large print run (like Ahsoka for the 2024 calendar) Cheers :)
  8. No inside info here myself, but I think the possibility of a planned set with Jabba that was scrapped is probable. How probable, well, that would only something Lego knows. That said, it is just a guess for all of us. Someone with the pieces can correct me if I am wrong, but was not the Dewback big mini mould changed between appearing in various Cantina sets, even though those were only about 5 year apart? Barring someone from Lego speaking out, we will likely never know. Cheers :)
  9. OK, I throw in a few ideas here as well. A mix of imperial and rebellion so that the imperials have someone to fight. :) Rogue One Eadu Garrison Battle Pack Mini-figs: 2 x Stormtrooper, 1 x Imperial Gunner, 1 x Imperial Scientist. The main build for the set should be part of the weapons turrets seen during the Battle of Eadu. Perhaps a small version of a turbolaser tower with the archway onto the landing platform the Rebels bomb during the encounter. Accessories to include blasters for the Stormtroopers and Gunner. Scarif Garrison Battle Pack Mini-figs: 2 x Stormtrooper, 2 x Shoretrooper. The main build for the set should include two orange cargo containers as in Set #75152 and a master switch computer console with antenna. Accessories to include regular blasters for the Stormtroopers, and double barrel blasters for the Shoretroopers. Rebel Alliance Pathfinders Battle Pack Mini-figs: 3 x Rebel Pathfinders, 1 x Rebel Pathfinder Officer. Main build for the set should be part of the landing area around the shuttle “Rogue One”, perhaps some of the grey computer boxes/cargo containers. Accessories to include blasters for all of the minis, plus a set of macro-binoculars for the officer. Rebel Alliance Scarif Pilot Battle Pack Mini-figs: 2 x Blue Squadron X-Wing Pilot (Blue Flightsuit), 1 x Gold Squadron Y-Wing Pilot (Orange Flightsuit), 1 x Blue Squadron U-Wing Pilot (Blue Flightsuit); use assorted faces and skin tones. Could make these all “name” pilots from the film. The main build for the set should be a maintenance sled with tools as seen in Rogue One hanger scenes. Accessories should include blaster pistols for all pilots. Episode IV: A New Hope Rebel Alliance Fleet Trooper Battle Pack Mini-figs: 3 x Alliance Fleet Troopers, 1 x Alliance Fleet Officer; use assorted faces and skin tones. The main build for the set should be something like the airlock hallway in the Tantive IV from the start of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. Alternatively, perhaps a small combat station with a heavy cannon set up and small radio antenna/communications panel. Accessories to include blasters for all mini-figs. Rebel Alliance Yavin Base Battle Pack Mini-figs: 2x Alliance Fleet Troopers, 1 x Alliance Officer, 1 x Rebel Alliance Technician; use assorted faces and skin tones. The main build for the set should be a maintenance station for the Yavin base hanger. This could include a crane and control panel, or a communications array. Accessories to include blasters, binoculars, and one of the radar guns seen with the guard in the tower in all of the Yavin hanger shots in the films. Rebel Alliance Yavin Pilot Battle Pack Mini-figs: 2 x Red Squadron X-Wing Pilot (Orange Flightsuit), 1 x Gold Squadron Y-Wing Pilot (Orange Flightsuit), 1 x Rebel Astromech Droid; use assorted faces and skin tones. Could make these all “name” pilots from Episode IV. The main build for the set should be a troop transport sled as seen in both Rogue One & A New Hope. Accessories should include blaster pistols for all pilots. Imperial Stormtrooper Battle Pack Mini-figs: 3 x Stormtrooper, 1 x Stormtrooper Officer. The main build for the set should be one storage crate that can be opened up (storage space inside) and a bunker or weapon emplacement. Storage crate should be similar to the ones in Set #75141. Accessories should include a pauldron for the officer, binoculars, thermal detonators, blasters for the Stormtroopers and additional blasters in the crate. Imperial Sandtrooper Battle Pack Mini-figs: 2 x Sandtrooper, 1 x Sandtrooper Officer, 1 x Dewback Big Figure. The main build for the set should be a moisture vaporator and sand dune setting, along with a womp rat. Accessories should include a pauldron for the officer, binoculars, backpacks for all of the troopers, a long riding staff (for the dewback rider as seen in A New Hope), and blasters for the Sandtroopers. Imperial Inspection Team Battle Pack Mini-figs: 1 x Death Star Officer (Captain), 2 x Imperial Technician, 1 x Stormtrooper. The main build for the set should include an inspection cart and tools as carried by the sensor technicians when the Millennium Falcon was inspected in ANH, as well as one or two storage containers/crates. Accessories to include blasters for the Stormtrooper and Officer, wrenches and tools for the Technicians. Death Star Crew Battle Pack Mini-figs: 2 x Death Star Trooper, 1 x Imperial Officer (Lieutenant), 1 x Stormtrooper. Main build for the set should be a section of Death Star corridor that links up with various Death Star playsets to expand the play experience. There should be link pieces on both ends to allow connection with other sets. Alternatively, it could be a guard room set up with computer console, table and working door as a play feature. Accessories to include blasters for all of the mini-figs and a mouse droid. I can pull more for later. Cheers :)
  10. Ooops, that is what I get for going off memory rather than looking it up. :)
  11. True, but at the same time that set was in the regular set numbering. This one supposedly is not. So, a bit of a mystery that way. Cheers :)
  12. Interesting choices. I agree that the Empire needs some love for battlepacks & sets. These would be some good ideas going forward. I really like your modular ideas. I had some a few years back (posted in this thread I believe) where I created ideas for modular Death Star builds and modular Echo Base builds for Empire vs Rebels. Something that would allow Lego to sell supporting sets that build on sales. But, I am not a marketing expert, so maybe the idea would not sell enough. Cheers :)
  13. I have enjoyed all of your scenes so far. They keep getting better and better. Thank you for sharing!
  14. Thank you. Once upon a time I don't think Lego would have done some of these (especially my big fig ideas), but, with super battle packs now showing up, I think some of them are possible. Cheers :) A few more battle pack ideas for us to mull over: Solo: A Star Wars Story Mimban Troopers Battle Pack Mini-figs: 2 x Mudtrooper, 2 x Mimban Stormtrooper. Main build for the set to be part of the imperial assault trenches shown in Solo. Include the entrance to the AT Hauler landing pad at one end of the trench line. Include link pieces so that more than one section of trench can be connected together. Accessories to include blasters for all of the mini-figs, and appropriate cloaks/capes for each type of trooper. Rebels Kashyyyk Wookiee Assault Battle Pack Mini-figs: 3 x Wookiees, 1x Imperial Stormtrooper; the Wookiees should be different in look (or at least one should be different). The main build for the set should be an imperial pillbox structure with heavy weapon/cannon, as well as some rocks or trees for the Wookiees to attack from behind. Accessories to include a blaster for the Stormtrooper and bowcasters for the Wookiees. Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back Rebel Alliance Hoth Trooper Battle Pack Mini-figs: 3 x Alliance Hoth Troopers, 1 x Alliance Hoth Officer; use assorted faces & skin tones. The main build for the set should be an Atgar FD P-Tower cannon and a short section of snow trench; similar to the ones included in previous Hoth sets. The snow trench should have a two or three link pieces so that two or more sets can be connected together for a longer trench set up, or even connected to an opposing battle pack featuring Imperial Snowtroopers. Accessories should include blasters for all of the mini-figs. Imperial Snowtrooper Battle Pack Mini-figs: 3 x Snowtrooper, 1 x Snowtrooper Officer. The main build for the set should be an E-Web blaster cannon, an imperial probe droid, and a section of snow trench for the troops to attack. Accessories should include a pauldron for the officer, and blasters for all of the Snowtroopers. The set should be designed with two or three link pieces so that multiple battle packs can be connected together for a bigger play experience, including linking with an Alliance Hoth Trooper battle pack stretch of trench for head to head battles/play. Imperial Navy Battle Pack Mini-figs: 2 x Imperial Navy Trooper, 1 x Imperial Navy Crew, 1 x Imperial Navy Officer (Commander). The main build for the set should include a turbolaser battery, communications desk, and a mouse droid. Turbolaser battery would have shooter darts and seats for at least one, possibly two operators. Accessories to include blaster rifles for most of the minis, and a blaster pistol for the officer. Bespin Citizens Battle Pack Mini-figs: 2 x Bespin Wing Guard, 1 x Cloud Car Pilot, 1 x Ugnaught. The main build for the set should be an industrial machine from Bespin. Perhaps a drill or large weather vane like atmospheric extractor. Minor build should be a tool stand or cart for the Ugnaught. At least one of the Bespin Guards should be dark skinned like the main Bespin Guard shown in the movie. Accessories to include blaster pistols for most of the minis and a tool (hammer or wrench) for the Ugnaght. Cheers :)
