Much more thought put into it then I put into mine lmao. That looks great, probably would have raised the price somewhat significantly tho.

Wild guess for 2022 battlepacks, I know they usually go together but they didn't last year, so here's my idea. Bad Batch Era Pack, two shinies, a Coruscanti and a Death Trooper with a microbuild of a Republic, now Imperial, shuttle. Remnant Pack, a stormy, two dark troopers, and either an Inferno or a hero character if they have to be annoying. Preferably Beskar Mando as he'd be the best to amass because his printing is amazing. The build would be a microscale version of those dropship things that show up on Tython, or the altar from Tython itself. Also, either Fennec or Cad's ship would be excellent to see show up at the 70 dollar price point the Imperial Shuttle was at this year. Preferably Cad's at this price point, I doubt they'll make Fennec's unless it shows up again. I'd also love to see now Boba's palace with him, Fennec and fat Bib at like 30 dollars as the Trouble On Tattooine-level set. Probably just the throne room itself because it would stay nice and small while also being detailed enough to be enjoyable. If we're due for an MBS, Endor seems like the obvious one, but hear me out, Kamino. Could be absolutely gorgeous. Probably with like five or six Coruscant guards, Tarkin, the Batch with Republic Crosshair and Omega, and some variation of the Kaminoans I can't remember their names. Maybe Fennec and Cad. It would probably be a big round thing with a roof that comes off, hallways and barracks and stuff inside, the training area from the first episode. Put some of those white proto-dark troopers in there. I think it could be really cool.

And that would probably be pretty easy to smooth off with some tiles and 1L pins with the stud on the end. This is honestly a way more well-designed set than I thought.

It’s obviously super blurry and really tough to tell but from where I’m sitting the Armorer has some form of shoulderpads so that’s something

So I have the hydro bounty and I’m wondering if anyone else has an answer on this one: is the engine power up thing with the pull tab supposed to be able to push them back down again? I doubt it but I was just wondering if I somehow built something wrong.

The Benatar doesn’t stop impressing me. I bought a Gamora and Nebula and somehow, even though it’s tight, the whole damn crew fits inside the ship. If you remove Gamora because she isn’t on the ship at the end of Endgame, Drax would fit too, and for a GOTG crew just take out Thor. It’s such an amazing set, honestly.

Aaaaaand I got the email. Yeah this was just a glitch. I just now realized I should have held my Lego.com order until this one proved itself real or BS so I’d have something to fall back on, but hey. This just feels like more proof I shouldn’t buy this set ETA; wow, just watching Solid Brix’ review of the shuttle and he compares it to the Imp shuttle from January, and somehow it’s 30 dollars cheaper and 300 pieces smaller but looks so much more imposing and well-designed. Those speeders really did screw this one over.

I still have yet to receive the dreaded email but my tracking just says “preparing order” and it’s supposed to show up tomorrow so I don’t know how that’ll work out.

Not yet but wonderfullllll

Did anyone see the pic on stu._d’s story with the Iron Patriot looking fig next to Wanda? I’m wondering if that means some of the list is wrong.

The one thing that bothers me is that Doc and Wong don't have their magic shield pieces, and instead Doc just has orange sparkles around his hands on the box art. Like come on we have the piece just put it in it's four more pieces.

Yeah there’s been scattered rumors that it’s still a thing for a bit now. Nothing consistent, but considering that Marvel had a similar confusion with the Sakaar Mech, Hydro Stomper and Thor’s House sets I wouldn’t be surprised if it still happens. If it does my budget is screwed tho

Set number 75369 has not been leaked in any way whatsoever but was assumed to be Vader’s Chamber until that was revealed to be 75269. We have never heard news of it being canceled, however, so it hypothetically still exists. The shuttle situation is hilarious if they don’t just end up not shipping our orders. Like come on, Lego. Honestly it should have just been released the same day the first Batch episode aired.

Just found out from Falcon the shuttle is available on Walmart. Grabbed one because I know I’ll regret it if I don’t lmao

(waves hand slowly at angry clone face) and of course Din Djarin’s skin tone is obviously just e m p t y v o i d.

In more ways then one. Boba will become available in more sets in January or March and that’ll make the set even more irrelevant.

This is absolutely possible. What I’m thinking right now is a block however long the leg is thick that goes in the central square area, and you use the piece or something like it from the Benatar stand for each leg. There’s probably better technic pieces I’m just not well versed. Anyway you have two mirrored pieces like that held in by grooves and more technic pieces and slope pieces, and then the block goes through each knee when you move it to where you want the leg. There would only be a few poses possible but it would work.

Honestly it being motorized would make the 800 dollars for somewhere around 6000 pieces make perfect sense. Doubt it’ll happen tho. If it does it has the possibility to be the greatest Lego set ever IMO

To that last point, I counter with the Osprey set. It wasn’t functional. The official reason they gave was that it was too military but the set itself from the reviews I’ve seen just did not work the way it was meant to. It’s happened before that a set gets through to approval and a flaw is discovered afterwards. That being said, I want to say at least non-poseable ATAT MOCs have been done without glue. They do involve a base but it’s been done.

fair and I also don't find the SD appealing for that exact reason The Falcon tho...if I had 800 bucks...man I want that monstrosity.

To be honest, I'm not sure how much fun a UCS AT AT would even be to build. That's a LOT of grey panels . I will say we haven't heard much about the gunship either and it's coming out between now and September at the latest so I wouldn't give up on it just yet.

fun fact none of us know jack shiitake mushrooms about what goes on with lego's marketing department they're absolutely insane as proven by the way they didn't reacted to the marvel leaks. so has it been confirmed that the Armory is coming out Sep 1? also the fact that they didn't reveal the gunship makes me wonder if it's set for Sep 15 rather then what we previously thought with August 1. as far as the sets go, I don't see what yall are saying with the slave one being a good set. it looks like a glorified microfighter IMO. Boba will definitely be in sets later on down the line. maybe I'll change my mind if I saw one in person but seriously it's such a rough looking set. on the other hand, i think you're being very harsh on the Cruiser. with the exception of those ridiculous cannons the outside looks great, and the inside was never going to be very big because of the bizarre shape of the ship. I wish the imperial transport had been one of the dropships from the Tython episode because then they could have thrown in another dark trooper or two, but for what it is it's all right. will be army building with it. TRUUUUUUUUU this is a forum about children's toys stop screeching holy smokes batman. ETA: ohhh man I'm watching a review of the S1 and MAAAAAAN the color difference on Boba is rough. also it's idiotic that they still haven't made a Din Djarin head.

the carrier bay they were in in the show would make an excellent build you could click into the cruiser fairly easily with enough work
