It is parted on the wrong side, but I think that this would look good for him.

The best ones that I could find are this (a bit too angry) and this (a bit too happy); both are double-sided, but considering that the cap included in the set is inaccurate and that Syril spends most of his time with it off, that is not really an issue.

That is definitely possible, but if we can get RotS Anakin and the 501st, I think that we will be able to get more sets for Andor. LEGO’s policy regarding violence and other mature themes seems to be that the characters/vehicles/settings/etc are fine, as long as the actual mature content in-question is not depicted. I particularly like seeing someone on the Empire’s side who is actually a decent person - We have gotten a lot of defectors who have seen the evils of the Empire, but in cases of people like Iden Versio (who served until after Endor), I find myself wondering how they can be loyal to such a cartoonishly evil organisation for so long. Andor seems to be answering that with Syril Karn, and I look forward to when Dedra Meero shows up.

I actually like what appears to be a reversal of typical character roles between Cassian and Syril, since it is introducing a lot of grey into the (normally) black-and-white Rebels vs. Empire conflict. (Also, I think that Cassian is starting the series more as an anti-villain protagonist, who will grow into an anti-hero by the end of the show). That is still possible; while we know that Cassian cannot die (Spoilers!), there are people who he can lose as a result of his actions (which we seem to be seeing a bit of towards the end of the first arc).

I thought that as well, since I am not sure where else additional Corpos could be included (particularly since it seems like all shots of them in the trailers are from the first three episodes). I doubt that LEGO would decide now that the show is “too mature”, since they must have seen material from the first three episodes in order to make the set that we already got.

Ambush on Ferrix is surprisingly accurate, but I am still bothered by the layout of the interior (the back should open into the main body) and the lack of (at least) a fourth figure. Also, Syril Karn's cap should have an orange brim, which I would be more able to forgive if the set included more than one Corpo. Overall, the set still looks good, but it really should be $60 rather than $70.

The leaked triceratops headpiece makes me wonder if we actually will (in some form, at least).

I use the former definition, and this is actually the first time that I have seen the latter! Regarding the Kanan comic, my headcanon is that Kanan is just misremembering a traumatic event; the basic information and sequence of events are correct (he remembers that Grey tried to kill him, and that he was chased through a forest by red-marked Clones after Depa Billaba was killed), but the exact details are wrong. Also, since the artwork of the comic shows Grey using both a DC-15A carbine and an E-11, depending on the panel, there was a precedent for such discrepancies even before the scene in TCW. Not to turn this into a wishlist, but I can see the next TIE Interceptor being based on Fallen Order (Minifigs would be Cal, Second Sister, a TIE Pilot, and maybe a Purge Trooper Commander).

Ah, I misunderstood. You said that she was “an EU character”, so I thought that you were referring to the original Expanded Universe (now called Legends).

It may have something to do with the Gaming Tournament Truck (I.E. a gamer-themed bike).

- Reddish Brown 6L bar (for axes). - Flat Silver axe head. - Reddish Brown 4L bar (for maces). - Dark Bley small gear (for maces). - Dark Bley 1x1 round plate with hole (for maces - Place it under the gear to improve the proportions and prevent slippage). - Blacksmith torso. - Silver pauldrons (from the Medieval Blacksmith set). - Flags. - Wagon wheels. - Barrels, crates. - Goblets, food. - Animals (lambs, birds, squirrels, etc). - Light Bley motorcycle helmet.

Rae Sloane is Canon, not EU/Legends. I doubt that this is LEGO’s inspiration for this set; more likely, they just decided to include an obscure-but-popular character, as they have done before. Sloane will get a new torso, but I am wondering what her rank will be in the set; after Alderaan, she was a Commodore (5 red over 5 blue), but by Endor, she was an Admiral (6 red over 6 blue). Both versions are seen in Squadrons, so the torso that we get just depends upon LEGO’s choice (and whether Sloane was a late revision to the set, replacing someone like Ozzel or Piett). 🤔 I do hope that we will get a new standard TIE Pilot helmet (since the one with silver stripes is becoming a bit too common), and perhaps a new torso without belt boxes.

A bit, since the presence of Vader in the set would make Admiral Piett the more expected choice. That said, I am glad that we are finally getting Sloane, and I VERY much hope that LEGO gives her a new head (rather than just a reuse of the Vi Moradi head)!

According to Promobricks, Rae Sloane will be wearing a grey uniform, so she is probably based on her appearance in Squadrons.

Thrawn looks good, but Yularen should just have black legs (See ANH and Rebels) : From ANH:

Since the 2022 Police and Fire stations will still be on shelves when these sets come out, I wonder if LEGO is trying something a bit different here. While we usually just get entirely new (and incompatible) Police/Fire stations every 1-2 years, the new road-plate system allows LEGO to make modular add-ons to the existing stations (I can see something like a prison cell and watchtower for 60370, and a garage and tool storage area for 60375). This is not something that LEGO has really done before, but the release schedule and price-points make me curious. 🤔

There are three per box, according to the Brickset review: “As normal for modern series of Collectable Minifigures, each box contains 36 minifigures and these are distributed evenly, with three complete series.”

Same - I got multiples of the Children's Amusement Park and the Vintage Taxi, so I am not sure why it would be different for this set (unless LEGO is imposing a limitation on this set specifically, in light of the run on the BLDP Castle in the Forest).

The difference is that Visions is non-Canon and features entirely new characters, while TotJ will be focusing on popular, established, characters (three episodes about Ahsoka and three about Qui-Gon). BTW, a trailer for TotJ leaked: I can see the series getting a few sets (or our at least getting some soft tie-ins, such as a 501st Y-Wing), especially since most of the characters are desirable/fan-favourites.

Agreed! It looks like the BB are moving away from the uniform armour designs of the Republic, in favour of a more cobbled-together Rebel-like appearance. I think that the shift from red (the colour most associated with the Republic) to orange (a colour associated with the Rebellion - particularly the early Rebels-era Rebellion) is also intentional in this regard. He is (another trailer leaked, which makes it clear that the Clone in-question is Cody), though his orange detailing has been changed to grey, so the Minifig in the AT-TE will not match his TBB appearance. As an aside, I like what I have seen of the design for Imperial Cody; swapping orange for grey makes him fit better among the other Imperial troops, while still retaining his iconic appearance.

In the shots of them in even, clear, lighting, Jyn has light skin with pinkish undertones, while Cassian has light skin with olive undertones (making him a bit darker). Additionally, I like that LEGO is using a darker skin tone for a character played by a Mexican actor, rather than defaulting to the colour used for White/White-played characters.

A recap: The Scythe is perfect; I love the variety of techniques used to achieve the shaping on the front mandibles, the smooth underside to the wings (something that has been missing from basically every other shuttle that LEGO has made), and the vast amount of interior space (the most of any shuttle, IMO - In addition to the three included, I can see 4-5 additional Minifigs fitting easily). The only part that I dislike is the lack of detail/accuracy for the Third Sister; she needs a new hairpiece, legs printed with a dark grey stripe down the centre, and a new semicircular Inquisitor saber hilt. As, from what I have seen, she seems to be a particularly significant character in the series, my initial disappointment with her design has been compounded. Hopefully LEGO will rectify this in a future wave (or even a Microfighter), as there is still trailer material that we have not gotten yet (Fourth Sister, Purge Troopers, etc). As for the Andor set, I have somewhat mixed feelings; for $70, a fourth Minifig should have been included (a second blue-Orange officer would have worked, and it would have cost LEGO little to nothing). The speeder bike looks good, and I like the smooth shape of the ship; I am bothered by the stubby wings and the fact that the rear door does not connect to the main cabin, however I am reserving judgment on the size and capacity until I see more of the real ship. When I first saw these ships in the trailer, I assumed that they were LAAT/i-sized, but the name “Mobile Tac-Pod” seems to suggest a smaller vehicle. That said, regardless of its real size, I appreciate the set’s surprisingly large interior - A seat for the pilot, four seats for passengers, and a bit of space for cargo. Regardless of how well-scaled it is, I like that LEGO is giving us vehicles with larger carrying-capacities. When you look at pictures from R1 of Cassian and Jyn together, Cassian is just a bit darker, so I like the use of the Mando skin-tone. BTW, on this topic, it looks like Reva’s head is the new Medium Brown, not Reddish Brown. I disagree. While I have only seen clips as well, thus far, I have loved everything that I have seen. Daiyu does feel like a PT-era location, and the rooftop scene has very Prequel-y stylisation, but I like those elements of the Prequels (and just the Prequels in general), so I have no problems with that. A few other parts appear to draw specifically from TPM, but that seems intentional, and the acting has been quite good.

FIFY.

I had seen this as a rumour on IG, but I was not going to get my hopes up - I am glad that it turned out to be true!! The description sounds brilliant, but I would have liked a few more Minifigs (though I get why LEGO went with the original lineup); I just hope that the red Spaceman pieces will be available on B&P!
