After the whole gunship debacle, I would hope Lego doesn't try jamming in exclusive/new figures.

5 Snow Troopers is very generous for Lego to include, even in an 800$ set with a BP of them coming out soon after.

I think the dream is dead at this point, given how out of place it would be and the fact we haven't heard anything from the more credible leakers.

I feel like we've been at the stage of "they're only testing OT" for years now. As for the discussion of re-releases, there is no reason they need to rehash the same vehicles/figures every 1-2 years when several main characters like Lando, Padme, and Mace Windu haven't been available for a long time and are expensive on the after market. Don't even get me started on Clone Troopers prices...

P2 Cody in a 15$ minifigure pack just seems unrealistic from every view point. If Lego ever makes him, he's going in a 100+$ set like an AT-TE or Gunship. Lego rarely puts named Clones in cheap sets, let alone one as demanded as him.

It does seem a bit weird for Lego to make a fighter tank model out of the blue with legends exclusive Clones. For the 2017 set, there at least was BF2 coming out which was planned to have it (although, it was moved to a dlc update years later). It really sounds like the most wish listed set idea in a while, however stranger things have been randomly released (Sandspeeder, the Azure Angel).

A fine addition to my TX-130 collection. Weird they're doing 187th legion, maybe they're the unnamed legion from the S7 episodes?

I'll take location based sets over the same 10 or so vehicle rehashes regardless of what era they are. At least there's not a Snowspeeder rumor yet.

"I'm absolutely devastated that important bar patron Scrimblo Bimblo wasn't included in the UCS Landspeeder. Once again, Lego has ignored the fan's request and has done the bare minimal. So much for 'Only the best'." I really hope the leg design for the Hoth AT-ST isn't a taller copy paste of the R1 and Mando one, personally I find the limbs a bit too wide for them. Minifigures sound bland but at least Snow Troopers will be easy to amass for it.

I think its that people are mad because the UCS Slave 1 is skyrocketing in value and we're getting ready to have an entire show based off Boba Fett, so they want a re-release. Honestly I'd rather have Luke's Landspeeder over another UCS Boba Slave 1.

All we need now is confirmation of a Snow Speeder and we'll come full circle.

I'm okay with paying 60$ for a highly detailed AT-ST if its done well. So far I don't have a lot of confidence for this wave and I really hope the summer wave will feature mostly Bad Batch and BoBF stuff.

Clones are in high demand right now and the aftermarket prices are absurd for them. It also doesn't help the 501st BP was 30$ instead of the usual 15$(now 20$) and one of two PT BPs in 6 years. Meanwhile, we've had quite a few Imperial themed BPs since then (which, tbf, isn't a problem considering the OT had a big focus during that time). Again, I don't mind it since Snow Troopers haven't been headily available since 2010, but I think people have plenty of reasons to be wanting more Clone BPs. Hopefully we get the full list for Winter 2022 soon. I'm curious to see in Bad Batch will be getting anymore sets.

20$ is disappointing but I'm excited to finally get some of the new Snow Troopers. I personally think a Rebel one will come out alongside it, however the last few years have shown that BPs don't always have an opposing force so its up in the air as to what it could be (or... this is the only one).

Its not a bad set by any means, I'd just prefer a cheaper way to fill in my existing Clone vehicles and MOCs. Did they confirm them for next year or just "soon"?

In all fairness, he was far from the first to ask for a 501st Battlepack. That's literally been requested ever since the start of Battlepacks back in 2007. Honestly I'm kind of worried that with how well it sold, it gives Lego the impression that there's no point in making 15$ Clone BPs anymore when they'll sell as well in 30$ ones.

Ahsoka is a way better pick given her relevancy in the Disney Plus shows. This may be the first Brickhead I pick up, especially if they do an Anakin and Obi Wan pack later.

We're not seeing a minifigure scale Gunship for a while, I believe Lego even confirmed that. Even if we were getting one, I'm sure people would complain when they come to the realization that Lego isn't shoving more than 2 Clones in it. Tbf Lego has always had themes that fail after the first few waves. It sold okay for its first wave iirc.

There are a lot of factors in what make a set valuable. If anything, it seems like older Lego Star Wars sets from 1999 - 2007 look to be slightly going down in value/stabilizing outside of odd ones (Cloud City). I think TCW sets will go down in value if Lego remakes a ton of those vehicles (AT-TE, LAAT, Venator) and as time goes on and people start to lose interest. Its a lot like Pokemon games, 1-2 generations become extremely expensive before dipping in value again once people lose interest or a remake comes out. As for figures, Rex, Thrawn, and the others will always be extremely valuable the more shows/comics/games they're in and the less sets they're available in.

I voted for the gunship but I don't have the money right now so I'm having to wait. It also doesn't help there's the (possible) UCS AT-AT coming out soon, so I can see people being hesitant to drop 350$ when what could be the most requested UCS set is coming soon. I think the gunship will sell somewhere between the A-Wing and Y-Wing. It won't be a smash hit, but I can't see it faltering like the Delta-07.

They wouldn't shove two new characters into a comic-con exclusive set, especially after the gunship debacle. I think the Forge either got moved back to next year or its being saved for later this year.

With a new pilot helmet, they can always just reuse the mold for other ships and sets that require a P1 Clone Pilot. Its not like a new mold or character would always have to be exclusive to the set.

I'm not saying some people were unreasonable from the get go, I just think LEGO should've given a potential price range for each set during the vote since they had preliminary builds and should not have asked for minifigure suggestions at all. That being said, I will end up buying the set as the LAAT is my favorite SW vehicle.
