New UCS Endor idea. Builds would include a decent-sized bunker, landing platform, AT-ST, and Shuttle Tydirium. A small forest build connects the bunker to the landing pad. Han Solo, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, R2-D2, C-3PO, Endor Rebel Commando (Tan Jacket), Endor Rebel Commando (Trenchcoat), Chief Chirpa, Wicket, Logray, Tokkat, Lieutenant Renz, 2x Imperial Navy Trooper, 2x Stormtrooper, 2x Scout Trooper, AT-ST Driver (boots). Side builds are an Ewok Glider, Catapult, two logs (that the AT-ST slips on), and 2 74-Z Speeder Bikes. Companion set would be a $30 battle pack. Rebels get an upgraded version of the tree turret hybrid from 9489, while the imperials get some type of walker (AT-PT perhaps). 3x Stormtrooper, Imperial Driver, Endor Rebel Commando (Nik Sant/Captain Rex), Endor Rebel Commando (BFII Sniper). -

I really think of the mindwipe-or-whatever scene with Dr. Pershing when I read this quote. It's possible we could get another Mandalorian Season 3 set. My first thought was Fives, but then I went, "We have him already..." -
Praying every day that any one of these come true. I'd like to see the ARF Troopers return, preferably the desert camo variant, and phase 1 clones in general. Would absolutely kill to have an official Denal, Mixer, Redeye, Waxer, Boil, and phase 1 Echo & Fives. I'll add Prince Xizor and Talon Kaarde to the Legends list, as well as Kyle Katarn, Jan Ors, Jaina Skywalker, Soontir Fel, Ysanne Isard, and Darth Lumiya.

I actually like the Paisley hair (and use it on my MJ), right color, decent style. I've...come to accept that she's got one eye covered at all times . Currently, I feel it's the best we've got. I certainly see how it could be better, but like I said, I used it on my Mara Jade and I'm happy with it. But really solid custom though . Other than the above ponytail, or Mia's hair in dark red, we're really short on hair options. For faces, I use Chell's head on mine.

Are Lucrehulks really that big!? Great choices all around. Pleading for some Legends love. Seconded. If they go back to making system-scale capital ships, it deserves a spot. Definitely an overlooked remake (we did get one back in 2007). Be a nice chance to get some Pre-Clone War Republic Officers too. And I'm frankly surprised they've never done a landing craft at any scale, though they do tend to ignore droid spacecraft. -

Except for the uniforms we constantly see various Rebel cells adopt... (Alderaan Security, Echo Base, SpecForce, etc.) The OT shows the Alliance as a fairly organized army, and post-ANH Disney material strengthens the visual consistency of the Rebel Alliance. I'm tired of the narrative that the entire Rebellion was just militiamen and randos. That said, I am all for more alien species, especially if they'll make variants within each race. I also want the uniforms they wear. -

Name your price...then we'll talk. I'd only be in it for the minifigs, but definitely a solid idea. Some odd ideas I've been cooking up: GR-75 Rebel Transport ($149.99): A pseudo-UCS set, similar to 2019's Tantive IV. Top can be taken off to expose an interior filled with seats (with plates added in front of each one to allow for backpacks), and a small bridge area/console towards the front. General Rieekan, Toryn Farr, Bren Derlin, R-3PO, Wes Janson (), 2x Hoth Rebel Troopers (All-White Uniforms with backpacks), Echo Base Soldier (Dark Tan Jacket without backpack). Includes a Tauntaun on the side. Jedi Battle Pack ($19.99): Yes, I know, another named character, single purchase "Battle Pack", but hear me out: Kit Fisto (*New olive green molded head), Plo Koon (*New molded head), Shaak Ti, Bultar Swan. Builds are two Droidekas, and a mini command station. New alien parts can be used for both their Jedi as well as Rebel troops, civilians, etc. Torsos can be reused to create multiple new Jedi. Better Droidekas than...whatever that tiny thing is in the new set. Elite Clone Troopers Battle Pack ($29.99): 2x 442nd Siege Battalion Clone Trooper, 2x 104th Battalion "Wolfpack" Clone Trooper, 2x B1 Battle Droid. Build is a Corporate Alliance Tank Droid. ARC-170 Starfighter ($69.99): Captain Jag, Clone Pilot, R4-P44, Commander Wolffe, Neimoidian Soldier, 3x Buzz Droid (new mold). Rebel Commandos Battle Pack ($19.99): Battlefront II inspired. Includes human male Assault class, human male Heavy class, Quarren male Heavy class, Zabrak female Specialist class. Includes a two-seater speeder bike and a command post. Clone Wars 2008 remake sets (a la 75214): All clones are Phase I Corporate Alliance Tank Droid ($24.99): 2x Battle Droid, 2x Clone Trooper with Jetpack. Would be ignoring the battle pack above. Clone Walker Battle Pack ($19.99): Clone Commander (with fabric pauldron and kama), 2x Clone Trooper, Clone Gunner. Count Dooku's Solar Sailor ($49.99): Count Dooku, 2x Magna Guard (New molds), Pilot Droid (2013). 212th Gunship ($149.99): The Crumb Bomber. Commander Cody, Obi-Wan Kenobi, 2x Clone Trooper, Clone Pilot, Asajj Ventress, 2x Commando Droid. -
No, I got that. Just curious to see what it looks like with the different color (if you had one). No big deal. Still, really well done. The Clone Wars (Updated) by Kordel Pender, on Flickr Wanted to make realistic versions of the old Clone Wars figures. All of them have their original torsos, and assorted tweaks. Though I've since reverted them back to original form (for nostalgia), I still wanted to share.

Sweet! It's a very appealing contrast, indeed. I think the neon green saber (we got some recently with Ninjago) would give him extra pop, too. If you have one, I'd love to see how that looks.

I want to crush this by saying "UCS", but I do think a new MTT along the lines of the 2007 OG would be absolutely amazing. On the other hand, a variant would be nice as well, and would justify the remake. Then we can get another brown version. I'd rather Haako and Gunray with a palace anyway. Boss Nass could always be thrown in another Flash Speeder. Way more important Separatist leaders with limited set options. -

Picked out my favorites here. I'm actually impressed by the current Tri-Droid (sure it could be bigger, but it's decently sized as is), but an Acclamator is long overdue, and it never hurts to have more of Cody's boys. Ventator-class Star Destroyer ($159.99): System scale. Comes with a side build of the bridge war room (holotable, tactical display panels, computer terminal). Obi-Wan Kenobi (Clone Wars), Commander Cody (Phase I), 2x Clone Trooper, 212th Clone Trooper (Phase I, Orange arms and outlined visor), Admiral Yularen, Clone Naval Officer. Munificent-class Frigate ($149.99): Tactical Droid, Battle Droid Commander, 2x Battle Droid, Super Battle Droid, Anakin Skywalker (Clone Wars), Ahsoka Tano (Clone Wars S1), Captain Rex (Phase I), Clone Trooper Denal (Dark Red Macrovisor), Clone Trooper (Dark Red Macrovisor). Duel on Utapau ($49.99): General Grievous, Obi-Wan Kenobi (ROTS), 2x Magna Guard, 2x 212th Airborne Trooper. Wheelbike, Crab droid, and molded Boga. -

Some Clone Wars love: Separatist MTT ($139.99): CIS colors (silver and navy). Wat Tambor, Battle Droid Commander, 16x Battle Droid, Commander Bly, 2x 327th Clone Troopers. Side builds include a STAP. Clone Turbo Tank ($159.99): Yes another one, bigger this time around. Yoda, Luminara Unduli, Commander Gree (curious to see how a hybrid version would look), 2x Clone Scout Troopers, AT-RT Driver, Crab Droid, 2x Super Battle Droids. Includes AT-RT, and did I mention a crab droid. ARC-170 Starfighter ($69.99): Plo Koon, Captain Jag, Clone Pilot, 2x 442nd Siege Troopers, R4-P44. Includes a Droideka. Corporate Alliance Tank Droid ($29.99): Next CW battle pack. 2x Battle Droids, 2x Super Battle Droids, 3x 327th Clone Troopers, 91st Recon Trooper (Neyo). Republic Shuttle ($139.99): 2x Clone Pilots, Clone Commando, Commander Wolffe, 2x 104th Clone Troopers. -

I would 1 trillion times take MJ over Malek. Aside from Fives (rolls eyes in more 501st), she'd be the only Anniversary figure I'd be interested in. -

This, 1000%. If you want to toss some diverse heads under some stormies, whatever, but we actually see who made up the bulk of the Tantive IV's security force. If Lego wants to mix things up with the RFTs, they can make another battle pack. I am curious to see how many figures the set comes with though. My guess is probably Vader, 2x Stormtroopers and 3x Rebels, or 2 rebels and Captain Antilles, but we'll see. -

I just want the NR Pilot for the head and helmet. And maybe the E-Wing if I feel like modding it to be Legends-accurate. Also, what is up with these new Astromech faces? Hopefully this is a one -off for the show, because they look terrible. -

Again. The white padding is too much. Don't care about the color. Why this bothers any of you is kinda beyond me. You like it, cool. I don't. -

ARC2149Nova replied to MKJoshA's topic in LEGO Star Wars
The white padding is too prominent imo. I never mentioned the color, that I could care less about (though let's be honest, the basic suit should still be orange), but the padding reminds me of some other sci-fi franchise (I can't exactly pinpoint which). Again, not a problem with the figure itself, but these attempts at being different for different's sake just bother me. -

Hawkins' torso should be dark tan and his legs should be dark brown. In the interest of fairness, Hera's legs should in turn be flame-yellow-orange (keetorange), and Chopper's head print is just (Look how they massacred my droid). Never was the biggest fan of Rebels, and outside of Hera, there isn't a lot here that I'm in great need of. I was thinking that I might get this, but between the rather lackluster figure selection and the Ghost just not being all that special to me, I think I'll pass. On a positive note, it is much better than the 2014 version in terms of detail, a little bit flatter than I'd like, but still great. Hera is absolutely amazing, Hawkins' new head is most welcome, and Beyta is perfect figure fodder (hate the NR flight suit in canon, but the figure itself is fine). I also like but don't care about Jacen, and Chopper... well I do have the OG figure so no loss there. -

I like it for what it is, but it feels undersized for the price. It's like a MOC given official release, which isn't a bad thing. I hope the interior is better than the 2008 version. No way it'll be as open as 75021. -

Why, pray tell, would Rex have dual molded legs? There's no change in color, he's white (and blue) from head to toe. Unless you're talking about his kama. -

While on this train of thought: Red Squadron Pack: Biggs Darklighter (new faceprint and helmet print), Jek Porkins (new face and helmet prints), Puck Naeco, Nozzo Naytaan (updated helmet print) I would do a pack like this with the rangers all suited up, and swap Zeb for Jib Dodger. The build would also change, but I've always wanted to complete pilot rosters. Honorable mentions include: Davish Krail, Evaan Verlaine, Grizz Frix, Ekelarc Yong, Sila Kott and Jake Farrell (unique helmet decos for them at least). Not to forget Legends, well legends Corran Horn, Tycho Celchu and of course, Jaina Solo. -

Sometimes I wish Lego took more risks when it comes to Star Wars, especially in the battle packs. Imagine a series of Rebel Trooper packs that included a variety of alien species, a battle pack for pirates and Jabba's goons, and more. Some thoughts: New Republic Troopers with 1 Human, 1 Rodian, 1 Mon Calamari, 1 Sullustan (molded head, or printed chinstrap) Hoth Rebels with 2x Human, 1 Quarren, 1 Zabrak Endor Rebels with 1 Human, 1 Duros, 1 Twi'lek, 1 Weequay Jakku Rebels (again), with 1 Human, 1 Aqualish, 1 Kel Dor, 1 Rodian Urban Rebel Commandos (think OG Battlefront II), 1 Human, 1 Bothan, 1 Wookiee, 1 Nikto The list is literally endless. I'd like to mix up my Rebels a little bit, but there aren't nearly enough aliens to fill the ranks.
