Here are some clone packs I want them to release: Coruscant Guard Battle Pack: Commander Fox, Commander Thire (just a Shock Trooper with pauldron and kama), 2x Shock Troopers w/riot gear. Build is a small police airspeeder. Galactic Marines Battle Pack: Commander Bacara, 3x Galactic Marines. AT-PT. Star Corps Battle Pack: Commander Bly, 3x 327th Troopers. Brick-built Acklay. Recon Troopers Battle Pack: 2x 91st Troopers (normal helmet), 2x 91st BARC Troopers. Speeder bike. Venator Defenders Battle Pack: 2x 41st Troopers (Grey markings), 2x Phase II Troopers. One of those Turbo-laser Cannons in the ship-to-ship scene. Corps Commanders Battle Pack: A one off pack with Commander Cody, Commander Bly, Commander Neyo, and Commander Bacara. Never gonna happen, but it's nice to dream.

@Hoth Rebel said in no uncertain terms that Cody is not the third figure, though it is a clone trooper.

You're right, I did wonder if you meant them, but like you said, Lego somehow restricted them to battle packs (and the May 4th Shadow Trooper ) NOO!!! A good point, however, them saying 501st could still be mere assumption on their part, (like Cody being in the Soulless One, though now we know he's not). But, only time will tell. I'm just happy to get a good army builder finally. Got'cha. You're right, Lego is known to be all over the place. It's probably a loose tie-in anyway (as in CW-era, but not CW per se).

Yeah, but we're only having this discussion because childish_landino (from what I can tell, a trusted source) said four "unknown" clones. If they truly are 501st, only time will tell, but because the person chose to tell MandR first (and given his connection to the Battle Pack campaign), I'm highly suspect as to it being 501st. I trust that we're getting 4 clones only because childish_landino said so. I'm not going any further beyond that. It's fun to speculate, I'll admit, but I'm not setting my heart on any one division (especially the 501st). Besides, 4 clones is 4 clones. I'm sure we'll be happy no matter which four clones it is.

We've never gotten an AT-RT Driver, we have gotten Kashyyyk Scout Troopers, but not a dedicated driver. I don't think anyone's opposed to a 501st pack either, just certain (very vocal and persistent) members of the Lego fan community would make too big of a fuss over it finally happening...for $30. Oh yeah, I forgot about that scene! Man, the latter half of Season 6 was wild! It's not a problem, really. I was just clarifying my point.

There were a few Ideas sets like that back in the day, so there would definitely be a lot of support. Edit: By "Sets" I'm talking submissions to be clear. I think one made it to 10,000 supporters as well.

I get your reasoning, but this will only create false hope for Ahsoka, Maul, etc. We are going to see AATs in this last season (as the trailers show), so maybe some 501 Jet Troopers (in the same scene) at least. I highly doubt Lego is cheeky and/or clever enough to make a $30 battle pack that's so widely requested. If, and this is a major IF, we do get 501st clones, then the backlash among certain communities would be unimaginable. So right now, 4 clones of unknown designation and legion. That's all we know, and that's all we can say for sure. Heads will seriously roll if that happens. (Geonosis Troopers, anyone?)

My only point is that 4 501st clones is extremely unlikely. That's why I'm presenting a secondary option (91st), that would still be viable in terms of TCW Season 7. I don't care either way. Anyway, about that UCS set, any chance it could be ESB based? Like @Lego-Freak said, we only know that it's 4 clones. Hell, they could be plain white for all we know (which would be very welcome).

And that's assumed to be Mygeeto (a nice nod to 2005's Battlefront II), not Mandalore. Honestly, I'm expecting Jet Troopers in the AAT (at least 1), and something different in the AT-RT/BARC combo. Could you imagine the hell certain people would raise if Lego made a $30 501st Battle Pack? Also, with ESB's 40th Anniversary, and a lone AT-AT in the summer wave, what're the chances May's UCS is something ESB related? I was certain of an A-Wing, but I'm beginning to consider possible alternatives. A point to the 91st Recon in the AT-RT/BARC Speeder: If you notice, while both vehicles are widely utilized by the GAR, they're mostly associated with the 91st Recon Corps (Lightning Squadron and Commander Neyo). Lego's first AT-RT included them over the more appropriate AT-RT Driver, and their latest BARC was driven by Neyo. A mixture of an updated standard Corpsmen, a repack of Neyo, and 2 of Mace's troops (one seen in the first trailer with stripes, and the Ponds design), would make for a nice, diverse mix of troops. And they're still easy to amass.

*Jedi March Intensifies* It will be done, my lord.

I think I see what you're getting at (hence my edit), but the Cadet mold is a bit too specially molded, and neither of the helmets you mention for Tech would work at all, especially given his helmet's similarities with the SpecOps Unit.

Too many new molds, and there's no way we just get them and not their shuttle too. (except for a normal $15 Battle Pack)

It is, but because they are the Reconnaissance Corps, I simply referred to it as a recon symbol.

No. Commander Neyo (or Lego's BARC Trooper) is from the 91st, but Adi Gallia's (and later, Stass Allie's) troops have a different pattern. Neyo's troopers have red shoulder pads and the recon symbol on their chest and helmets (and we have 2, Neyo and a regular troopers from 2005). Mace's 91st (only seen on Anaxes) have a pattern in the vein of Commander Ponds (inverted circles, full red arms, red striping on the chest and red hip armor). It's a design unique to the Clone Wars tv show, and much like how we got Horn Company and the Bomb Squad, Windu's 91st Troops aren't too obscure for at least a battle pack inclusion. Hell, we even got Shock Stormtroopers from Battlefront. So, anything's possible in Lego. I mean, we have 501st troopers too, and 212th, but people still want the Holy 501st Battle Pack. Like I said earlier, I want 501st troops as much as anyone, but I'd rather get a new variant/design over post-2014 designs we've had before. Update the 327th, give us the Nova Corps, give us Windu's battalion, just give us something new.

If we do get 4 clones in the BARC + AT-RT set, I really hope they're not 501st. I mean, I want 501st troops as much as anyone, but I'd rather have a new legion, (Windu's 91st, 327th, Nova Corps) than 501st troopers. That's probably just me though.

True, but I've avoided all of the recent ones due to the movies. I just want another OT based one, but I might just settle with the 2010 one.

Have you ever used the "Highest Quantity" search option? I use it frequently. It helps you find lots with massive amounts of Clones and Stormies for sale. That or eBay lots (just pay close attention to figure details, so as not to get mix n matched figures)

This is my ultimate ESB wave, but with a few rules (No remakes of recent sets, i.e. Yoda's Hut, Slave I, Snowspeeder, but including an upcoming set: AT-AT) AT-AT: Sized like the AT-M6, with P-Tower Turret and DF.9 Turret side builds.

(last OT falcon was in 2010 I think) The Cave Test: Luke Skywalker, R2-D2, Yoda, Darth Vader (Luke Skywalker head) Rebel Transport: 4x Hoth Rebel Troopers, Toryn Farr, General Rieekan. Has space for up to 16 minifigures ($199.99 price tag). Snowtrooper Battle Pack: Speeder Bike, E-Web. Snowtrooper Commander, 2x Snowtroopers, Hoth Biker Scout. Rebel Patrol: Ice Cutter (2010 Battle Pack Vehicle), Tauntaun, small trench wall. 3x Hoth Rebel Troopers. Duel on Bespin: $20 Duel Set with the catwalk. Darth Vader, Luke Skywalker.

And the piece de resistance: UCS Echo Base ($499.99): Fully enclosed space, with control room, medical bay, hangar bay (with Rogue Leader Snowspeeder), outer trench, 2 P-Towers, 1 DF.9. Tauntaun pen, and Wampa enclosure.

Why does IG-11 not at least have some color variance? At a glance, he's no different than IG-88. Some brown on the torso, (a la Battle Droid ranks) would've been appreciated. The interior looks okay, aside from the carbon freezing chamber, there's nothing much to it, but I'm okay with that. And am I the only one who sort of likes the stickered carbonite blocks? It reminds me of the old piece for Han Solo, so kinda nostalgic.

Think of a Sandtrooper, but with more chips in the paint scheme and armor itself, and you have yourself a Remnant Stormtrooper. It's pretty much worn armor.

I like the Razorcrest. Could've gone for Kuill over Karga, and a Remnant Trooper over the Scout Trooper (not even remotely different from the Action Battle figure, which is nice, but not really accurate), but overall I'm happy. With today being Saturday, and the biggest day of the fair, I hope we see more stuff revealed. We most likely won't know the May UCS until April, at least not officially, and we might see a couple of Clone Wars sets, since Hasbro and other brands are going for Mandalorian and Clone Wars over ROS (rightfully so, I might add), so maybe the AT-RT/BARC and AAT reveal? With a side of AT-AT to celebrate the 40th anniversary of ESB? Only a few hours to go.

I haven't read most of the other comments, but I wanted to add that while the 3 3/4" line is declining, Hasbro's Star Wars merch isn't slowing down. If anything, it's ramping up. As much as I love Lego, Hasbro clearly understands its fanbase. The Vintage Collection is pumping out new Mandalorian merch, the Black Series is cashing in on fan-favorites from the prequels, they've rereleased previous HTF figures (including Boba Fett, who ironically, is still hard to find). Now yes, Action Figures are very different from brick built toys, and Hasbro likes to monopolize the figure aspect of all it's licenses (Marvel being the next big example), but Lego scrambles to keep their fanbase happy, and fails on a near constant basis. What I mean by that is, for every 5 people who like/love a set (3/5 will buy), there are 5 who dislike it (1/5 will buy), 1 who regrettably buys it for completionist reasons, and 1 who complains on the high price for low value/doesn't buy it. Hasbro, on the other hand, pushes out figure after figure, and while they don't always hit with either the figure itself or (more often) distribution (which is Lego's strong suit), but they hit more than they miss, especially now. Hasbro puts up with Disney, as does Lego, but whereas Lego has to keep producing T-70 after T-70, Hasbro has had enough of getting it's megablocks-kicked from 2014-2017, and past couple of years have been spent recovering from their losses and striking back with product people want. But, that's the nature of the action figure business. It's not an apple-to-apple comparison, but Lego is more in trouble with its Star Wars license (which isn't even true) than Hasbro. However, they are the two best avenues for Star Wars toys. And to me, it's like Harry Potter. "Neither can die while the other lives."

I mean... there is Minions.

I don't know if anyone mentioned it, but GO GO POWER RANGERS! Now for the next 6 series, we need Pink, Yellow, Blue, Black, Green & White! I kid, I kid. But only slightly.
