New rumor from a trusted source ( LEGO_Fulcrum) a dark trooper battle pack for 20$. I personally don't like them in the mandalorian so i don't really care about the figures, but i know lot of people will be excited cause they wanted multiple of them and the prices were insane on bricklink.

Finally 1 set to be excited for.

Accessory packs have so much potential, but if it ends up like marvel 40418 with 2 main characters and 2 army builders it's basically Ki-Adi Mundi battlepack all over which would make them a worst and most expensive way to army build, but it can also be something really cool. I am just not going to put my hopes up with anything LEGO does anymore. Quick army building calculation. Squad= 9 troopers led by sergeant, Platoon= 4 squads led by lieutenant (36 troopers+ 4 sergeants+lieutenant) 15$ accessory pack with 2 army building figures= will cost you 270$ to form a platoon + you need 4 sergeants+lieutenant ( you get around 540 pieces and 18 other figures) 20$ snowtrooper BP= will cost you 180$ to form a platoon with 3 snowtrooper squads and 1 scout trooper squad +you need 4 sergeants+lieutenant (you get around 945 pieces, possibly accurate snowspeeders and e-web blasters) 30$ 501st set which is not a BP= will cost you 270$ to form a platoon with 3x 501st squads and 1 jet trooper squad +you need 4 sergeants+lieutenant (you get 18 battle droids and 2565 pieces) 5$ army building figure with a buildable stand= will cost you 180$ to form a perfect 4 squad platoon that is one type +you need 4 sergeants+lieutenant (you get 432 pieces)

At that point they should just sell figures people want with buildable stands or a smaller build as example jedi masters and their seats, even army building stuff like clones for 4$-5$.

See it from my POV, you grow up watching episode 1 (1999), episode 2 (2002), clone wars (2003), episode 3 (2005), the clone wars (2008-2020), rebels (2014-2018), the force awakens (2015), rogue one (2016), the last jedi (2018), solo the star wars movie (2018), rise of skywalker (2019), the mandalorian (2019-) and The Bad Batch (2021). While you didn't enjoy episode 8 or 9 you loved everything else. With all that in mind see the rumored sets for next year: EP5 battlepack, EP5 AT-ST, 2x EP5 Helmets, EP5 Yoda's Training, EP4 Landspeeder, EP4 Death Star Battle. Ofc i have instant disdain, nothing they put inside will interest me in the slightest. Not my childhood, not my star wars. I understand people are different and they like different things and it makes me happy that some people are excited about the next year, but it's just depressing to me especially since the same thing happened last year. Yeah, but why do you hate his fans for pointing out the truth and connection? If he leaks sets he is an %$/&, if he doesn't he is an %$/& that holds it over us, if he complains about the set he is an %$/&, if he doesn't point out the flaws he is an %$/& . Can this dude catch a break? He is on youtube since he was a 12 year old child ofc he will say and do stupid stuff like all of us did, but this amount of hate where he is hated if he does 1 thing and hated if he does the other is just ridiculous.

Funny enough that for the 80th time Ryan is right and people ridiculed him and his fans here for no reason. "And you people wonder why we hate MandR and his followers. He makes a review of an old set and you lot take it as gospel that a rerelease is coming". Didn't leakers said we won't get dissapointed with these sets? I am pretty dissapointed, just more OT garbage judging by pictures leakers posted in the background when they revealed them. Unless Yoda's training is a code name for Republic Attack Shuttle from the bad batch this is another blend and boring OT wave that will go into another blend and boring april wave. Having to wait 300+ days to get possibly 1 PT or TCW era set that was made with 0 effort for the second year in a row is just heartbreaking.

PT means prequel trilogy so i only count sets that are in the prequel trilogy movies the same way i only count OT sets if they were in OT movie. I became a star wars fan in 1999 after watching TPM, i didn't even know mandalorians aside from Jango even existed till 2012. If you gonna clasify Blue AAT as the same as Trade federation AAT from episode 1 you may as well count all sequel sets as OT cause most of the times it's just a bit of orange paint on an x-wing or a slightly different AT-AT. Then you need to count rogue one, solo, rebels and the mandalorian as OT cause they are all using imperial troops, imperial vehicles etc... Future Ahsoka show, Boba show, Obi show, upcoming 2023 movie it's all gonna be OT based. Rogue one literally ends when OT begins. Yeah you could also count Yoda's lightsaber, but there is also a fact that you had to buy a 250$ OT set to get it. 100% agreed. Just repetition and repetition and they throw in 1 new fig fans really like for example General Dodo or Zuckuss to make you buy it. When there is a cool vehicle people want again like imperial shuttle they completely butcher it or ignore it like the endor bunker. When there is some cool new vehicle they ignore it too and go do the usual tie fighter, landspeeder, snowspeeder... Just sick and tired of it.

I wasn't trying to slice it. I agree with you, they are getting way more sets and i personally hate it, but we are having the same conversation each year and nothing changes.

PT sets Episode 1: 34 sets of which 17 were due to movie being released 1999-2002 Episode 2: 18 sets of which 9 were due to movie being released 2002-2003 Episode 3: 41 sets of which 17 were due to movie being released 2005-2007 PT total: 93 sets of which 43 are movie release + 5 UCS sets ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ OT sets Episode 4: 43 sets Episode 5: 35 sets Episode 6: 36 sets OT total: 114 of which 0 are due to movie release + 5 helmets + 2 master builder series + 28 UCS sets ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There are 11 legends sets: 8 are OT based, 1 is based of force unleashed and 2 are Clone wars based Clone Wars: 60 sets Rebels: 13 sets Resistance: 2 sets Rogue one: 9 sets Solo: 8 sets The Mandalorian: 9 sets The Old Republic: 4 sets TLDR: OT has: 157 sets not counting UCS AT-AT and all other rumored sets for next year PT has: 98 sets, but 43 were strictly movie releases that were made 1999-2007 *didn't count mini builds, microfighters, figure packs, polybags, magazine stuff, planet series, gwp, comic con....* Last 2 years: 4 PT sets ( gunship included) 17 OT sets ( UCS AT-AT not included) + 2 comic con sets, 2 gwp and 3 microfighters. 4 PT vs 25 OT and we already have battle pack, AT-ST, helmets and microfighter rumored for OT next year and nothing for PT.

Yeah, but atm we don't know anything except that the palace is coming supposedly. This can be a tiny 30$ playset, 250$ MBS set, a small may the 4th promo vignette or a 1000$ UCS set. This makes it hard for me to comment on or to be excited about. I loved the mandalorian so if the same people are working on the Boba show and this is a Boba set i will definitely be happy to get and build while watching, but LEGO sucked all the hope and joy i ever had in this world so i expect nothing or an OT remake that i will vote with my wallet against knowing that it won't change anything.

Usually yes, but not anymore. He learned from his mistakes and doesn't want to be the main source of leaks anymore despite knowing all the sets that will come out for a long while now. He is just waiting for other people to leak stuff before he talks about them. He most likely also doesn't want him or his sources to get in trouble. Which brings me to the other point: Ryan used to leak stuff from his sources whoever they may be and he never leaked secret stuff that LEGO sent him via LAN. Nowadays someone from the LAN is sending information given to them by LEGO via LAN to leakers and other LEGO community members which is way worse imo.

Not really enough information to make a quality comment. Definitely not interested if it's OT based, would be cool if it's Boba Fett show related, but again no price point, no figure info or set info.

Really wish it was the endor one. I don't think anyone would complain, HOTH version was apparently only in the shot for few seconds. I might be wrong though i don't like ot.

50$ makes more sense for AT-ST. I was slightly interested cause i thought it could double as an Endor set with potential of 2 seats and more accuracy, but i guess they are different versions. Definitely a pass from me. Excited about minifigure pack and other set leaks though.

I am genuinely happy with the UCS Landspeeder. Even i can recognize the vehicle and i haven't watched episode 4 for more than 10 years. I am more into downscaled or minifigure scaled vehicles, battle packs and playsets myself so getting oversized things from trilogy i hate for a big price seems perfect cause i don't have to waste 200$+ to get figures from them. Same way with OT helmets, bring them on LEGO, make every single OT character in helmet form, and then update them all every few years when new pieces come out, i will never complain and you have my full support. I will also fake compliment people that have them so they get more.

I was getting more and more worried that both January and April waves are going to be mostly Original Trilogy. I can already see a rebels battlepack, wampa cave, snowspeeder, some sort of 30$ hut build... etc. AT-ST is really cool and i would love to have another one with maybe a cool pilot figure, but why is it 60$? I fear that 18+ actually means = 40$ AT-ST build and 20$ of white/black pieces as display and in that case i have no interest in that set. Maybe i am wrong though and they will make an accurate model instead in which case i am interested. I can't hide my disappointment with every single leaked set for now. It's absolutely disgusting, we recently had an ending to beloved clone wars show, we recently saw so many things in the mandalorian and in the bad batch show and we recently had an entire trilogy and they go back and do stuff from the 80ies. We had like 11 empire strike back sets in last 3 years not counting UCS AT-AT. I am slowly losing all hope.

Why are we getting leaks for April wave and not January? So many of my purchases depend on a January wave and i have no patience. I am okay with helmets being original trilogy. I have 0 interest in them. My brain can't actually process the fact that people will buy a tiny brickbuilt helmet for 60$ when there is an actual helmet prop from hasbro for 100$ - 125$. I guess to each their own. Mando will definitely sell the most. My first guess on the cancelled one would be Luke's helmet cause there is a big chance they couldn't replicate it good enough in the LEGO form , but it's most likely AT-AT pilot cause LEGO is doing what hasbro is doing and hasbro doesn't have one.

Trailer was pretty good, i am really excited for it. Would love to get Mother Talzin and Nightsisters from the trailer in a set.

No one with a sliver of self respect would beg for anything, let alone for a LEGO set. 1. Rey's Speeder 21845 entires, 2. Snowtrooper battle pack 21746 entires, 3. Rebel trooper battle pack (hoth version) 20421 entires. Not particulary interested in the microfighter unless mando has an actual face or a different print cause i already have 2 beskar mando figures + i will get 1 in the forge set, i guess it will be a cheaper way for kids to get him if they didn't buy trouble on tatooine. Hoping for Boba to be the opposing microfighter.

You need to chill, this is no way to treat another human being over 1 leaked set. I hate original trilogy more than anything in this world, i couldn't sit through 1 of the OT movies even if my life was on the line and i would still like imperial battle pack like stormtroopers, juggernaut tank troopers, new scout trooper, death troopers, shoretroopers and all the cool troopers we saw in the mandalorian or even endor troops. Secondly we only got 1 set leaked and you are mad that it's not the one you wanted, maybe there is another clone battlepack or other cool clone sets. We don't know anything yet. Ton of people asked for that battlepack and ton of people embraced with open hands on youtube and reddit, even i will buy at least 3 if the speeders are accurate. Hoth battle is very popular and i know some people disagree with brickset logic, but old snowtrooper battlepack is the most owned set on the site and i remember from childhood everyone had multiple of them. Would something from clone wars season 7, the mandalorian or the bad batch be better than something from a 42 year old movie? Ofc it would, it's still fresh in our mind and we are excited for it, but this is still a decent and safe pick and it will go with regular and ucs sized AT-AT.

Book of Boba Fett spoiler (this is not a plot spoiler or character reveal) *Looks related*

Happy that battle packs are back! Super disappointed with the selection, hoped for season 7 of clone wars, the mandalorian, boba fett show or the bad batch show to get a battlepack instead, but with UCS AT-AT it makes sense. 20$ doesn't seem that bad unless they make a disgustingly oversized vehicles with it like that awfull speeder from 501st and the bad batch shuttle set. 180$ for a platoon ( 4 squads) doesn't seem that bad, add a 160$ AT-AT and you have a decent army for 340$ which is less than 30$ a month if you are doing it in a year. Might get a few if speeders are accurate, if not i don't really care, snowtroopers are not that interesting.

Just on top of my head Padme's ship, Defoliator AAT, Separatist Super Tank, Droid Landing Craft, Self-Propelled Heavy Artillery Turbolaser, Kit Fisto's Jedi Starfighter, clone wars version of Separatist Shuttle, improved and updated J-1 proton cannons, Trident-class Assault Ship, Geonosian cart or carriage thingy... They even had a perfectly scaled AT-RTs which they somehow can't even make nowadays.

No it doesn't, very slim chances that it does. If we look at older LEGO Star Wars games there are thousands of builds and characters we never got in LEGO form.

On the fence myself, i am waiting for january leaks and then deciding. If you are only buying them for figures i would wait, maybe they all come out in better sets next year so you don't have to buy the shuttle. You can also wait for some good gift with purchase that makes shuttle worth buying ( or double VIP points) . Jang prices figures at 4$ so with that logic: are you fine paying 80$ for oversized speeder, cool green speeder that was only in 1 episode and that meh shuttle? cause i am definitely not.
