Pryde seemed to have some contact in Shadows of the Sith, at least with the dark side cultists on Exogal. -

Fun fact, C'ai Thenalli is basically a modern equivalent in the Sequel trilogy. He survived Starkiller Base, D'qar, Crait, and Exogal. Where is my C'ai Thenalli love? -
Wishlist: Future Star Wars Sets and Minifigures

The odds of these sets being made are zero, but I've been theorizing some comic book sets. I have a whole list of sets based on Crimson Reign, but I'll start smaller with the Battle of Jaaku comic: B-wing ($60) Rynn Zenat (pilot), Ubrik Adelhard, Kith Alaytia Lady Luck ($80) Lando Calrissian, Leia Organa, Calder Behrens, Lan-Drus Ragged Claw ($120) Zeva Bliss, Kranor, Tomasso, Jarek Yeager, Therisa Alern Rynn Zenat's ship ($100) Rynn Zenat (jacket), Luke Skywalker, Ubrik Adelhard (disheveled), Bragh, Reyna Oskure Ambush on Pillio ($20) Small tree build. Luke Skywalker, Yuan Howzell, 2x Acolytes of the Beyond -

Something still feels fishy. We know the "Smart" X-wing is about $90. That's a $40 markup from the previous version, presumably to account for the smart features. So why is the TIE Advanced a relatively reasonable $60? Especially if it accommodates two smart features? I'm wondering if the X-wing will include some significant side build or a second ship. Do we know the cost and set numbers of the other "smart" sets? -

The Hounds Tooth is certainly the best candidate since it's had a television appearance. The other ships have only had canon appearances in comics. I'd love this. I know the show wasn't well-received, but it's a shame we never got a set with the flagship vehicles. -

It's obviously a YV-666 light freighter. Finally getting Bossk and the Hound's Tooth. Heck, throw in the whole Krayt crew -

With the rumors of a Mandalorian vs. Clone battle pack, I'd love to get some additional Siege of Mandalore content. A red Kom'rk transport would be perfect. That would give us an opportunity for a Rook Kast, Prime Minister Almec, or Ursa Wren figure. The new Slave I has also made me interested in Boba Fett's Clone Wars Appearances. I'm imagining some sets based on the Sabotage of the Endurance or the Mission to Vanqor. Mace Windu's Jedi Starfighter ($50.00) Includes Mace Windu, R8-B7 Aurra Sing with Speeder Bike, Boba Fett with Green poncho. R2-D2 vs Gundark ($20.00) Includes Buildable Gundark, R2-D2, Anakin Skywalker I also would love to get a Minifigures of Boba Fett later in his career, but before he's wearing his Mandalorian Armor. Hound's Tooth ($90) Obviously scaled down, but could be to scale with the new small Slave I. Includes Bossk, Dengar (clone wars outfit) Boba Fett (Medium Legs in Krayt claw outfit), Latts Razzi, and C-21 Highsinger, -

The Phantom Menace is really the odd duck of the franchise. The invasion of Naboo is pretty low stakes in the grand scheme of galactic conflicts. It's also separated from Attack of the Clones by about a decade in-universe. There is not a lot of lore that happens between the two movies. *Phantom Menace* is almost a self-contained story disconnected from the rest of the saga. Personally, I'd love some Naboo Security guard sets. Outside of the obvious Naboo Starfighter, Flash Speeders or Gian Speeders could make good sets. They'd fit in a somewhat mid pricerange and their bright colors would help them pop on the shelf. Lego has shown a willingness to make more obscure vehicles if they're cool enough or have good playability. Of course, if we get Naboo security vehicles, they should also have something to fight (because they're otherwise be out-of-place with other sets). Trade Federation Troop Carriers, Landing Ships, MTTs, Vulture Droids, AATs, or a Neimoidian Shuttle would all be welcome. These ships would necessitate figures more interesting than basic Battle droids. Not sure how this Boss Ness conversation came up. -

Are we sure it's Cobb Vanth's helmet? Maybe it's still Boba Fett and is based on his appearance during the Battle of Tython. (Before he adds fresh paint to the armor) -

A box image of the U-wing is out. The artwork looks great! I know some people think the proportions are wrong and it looks small but I'm really excited for this set. The angle on the box looks much more attractive. -

That's what's really throwing me. It's crazy to imagine there being no star wars sets in the second half of the year. 2024 had a pretty robust June-July wave. We also got Jabba Sail Barge and the Imperial Dropship vs. Rebel Scout Speeder in October. I have the utmost confidence we'll see the Mandalorian and Grogu in 2026. It's basically a continuation of the TV show so all the production, cast, and crew is already built-in. We've also seen footage and I wouldn't be shocked if a trailer is released at celebration in May. I also am relatively optimistic about Shawn Levy's movie, James Mangold's Dawn of the Jedi, Dave Filoni's crossover movie, and Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy's Rey/New Jedi Order movie. These all have directors, writers, and some cast. We've gotten recent updates on all four of these films so they seem to be in active production. -

Sets 75421-75427 are still unaccounted for. I don't believe we've received any information about the Fall wave so it's possible some additional Andor (or OT) sets are still in the pipeline. -

I do like a deep cut. It's also referenced in the Essential Guide to Locations books. -

Cool! I'm still holding out hope that the system Slave I is based on the Clone Wars, otherwise what's does the "Lucky" hint mean? Would be the best place to get a new Aurra Sing figure. -

Just so I'm on the same page, what set/sets does leaked Boba Fett belong to? -

If anything, it's evidence that the system version is TCW so they pair together. Unless you're suggesting the UCS version is based on the TV show. -

I actually would really love a Clone Wars version of the Slave I. Jango Fett's ship would look a little anachronistic sitting beside other clone wars vehicles on my shelf. A ship based on the season 2 "Death Trap" arc opens the door to new Aurra Sing and Hondo figures. Maybe throw in Mace Windu, Admiral Killian, Bossk, or another jedi if they're feeling generous. Pretty sure the Slave I had the same paint scheme as Jango's but Hando does take possession of it at the end of the arc and repaints it green and brown so there is some room for variation. -

There are a few Geonosis Jedi who have fallen on the wayside. Bultar Swan and Pablo-Jill both got some shots during the "this party's over sequence" and never have received minifigures. Bultar wouldn't require any new molds. (They haven't had many noteworthy appearance, but I like obscure characters getting figures. -

Maybe it's like the Rogue One Y-wing or Solo TIE Fighter. Uninteresting because it's not new, but secret because it includes some spoilers with recent media. Some sequel-era sets could make sense. A T-70 or First Order TIE Fighter would be welcome and connect with the Force Awakens Anniversary. It's also been five years since we've gotten Luke's Landspeeder or a snowspeeder (which was 4+). Having a price or piece count would really help. -

If Lego really cared about making toys for kids to PLAY with, they'd be giving these clones someone to fight. It's pretty clear that they're catering more towards collectors who builds sets and puts them on their shelf. (Or build armies on gray baseplates) That's not necessary a bad thing. I'm a millennial who's probably in that demographic, but I'm also sick of clone sets and would like some variety, especially Separatists and sequel era stuff. -
