That X-wing is so laughably bad that it must be a joke. 150 dollarydoos for something that looks to be less than 30x30 studs in size is ridiculous.

Big W in Australia have added Mando's N-1, Ahsoka's Eta-2 and the Acclamator to their website already. The prices are $42, $59, and $68 respectively. Lego.com haven't added the Eta-2 to their website yet so that could mean that set has an RRP of $70.

The build is excellent but it's completely the wrong colour. It should be dark grey instead of reddish brown.

Apparently a buildable Chopper, Jango Fett Helmet, and Star Wars logo are coming in Autumn next year.

The Dark Falcon and the Star Destroyer are already out of stock within 90mins of being released in Australia.

My guess would be an Ewok but it would be odd alongside the buildable C-3PO for a similar number of pieces.

I really want a raisin doughnut now.

Finally we can put the prequel UCS experiment behind us. I randomly had a dream about a UCS X-wing last night. I would hope it’s a vastly improved shape given a lot has changed since 2013. Bigger engines and an accurate nose would be the main improvements.

That really more of a flaw in the TIE Fighter then. Lego and/or Disney must be having a fine joke in not officially revealing these sets.

Possibly a delayed UCS set. It would have originally been a 2021 set that Brickset has carried over to 2022 for some reason. Whatever it is or was might be released eventually as a few things have messed with the schedule of D2C sets since 2015 and there could be a backlog.

I bought 75333 last Thursday and ordered 75337 on Friday so should be delivered today. 75333 is a good set and @mcphatty's mod makes it even better. Also rebuilt 75214 to the same mod. I was lucky to see the AT-TE on Kmart at the time as it only lasted a few hours there and on Lego.com on 1 August. Update: Despite the fact it was coming from Kmart Port Adelaide and I live in Adelaide, Australia Post has now decided to send the AT-TE for a trip to Brisbane.

Having an Advent Calender is be mainly winter stuff is fine, that’s what a lot of Christmas stuff in Australia is themed around anyway. We know it’s a tradition taken from the North where a lot of immigrants to Australia are from anyway. However, choosing not to buy it because two of the builds depict summer seems really mean spirited. The other thing to note is that the summer Vader is not necessarily a form of Southern representation anyway but a figure based on the Summer Vacation Disney+ series. By September, most of Australia is already about as warm as an English summer.

Looks exactly like Christmas holidays to me.

The spring waves in October were only for the sequel trilogy movies. Except for the large UCS/MBS set in September, generally everything is released in August.

I’ve recently built a mod of 75050 that looks very similar to this. I replaced most of the dark grey with light grey and whatever sand blue I had but had thought to use all sand blue instead.
