Someone on the leak page is saying that there is a rumor about the figs in the UCS gunship being a red Clone captain and a Jedi, probably Mace Windu. Salt applied, this seems unfortunately believable.

I just realized something—any fake leaker now could have more possible credibility given that we have not idea what MandR’s alt account is. Unless a real leaker confirms something is fake, we could have a fake leaker paradise. ?

What makes you say that?

I would assume that two reasons contributed to LEGO not releasing the Bespin Duel worldwide—it was a con exclusive, and it has little appeal outside of AFOl circles. Kids are not going to want a set with only two figs just because the Vader has arm printing and the Luke is exclusive—there would have been plenty of other sets worth getting in their eyes.

So you think the Carnage bust will be comic based? I may be interpreting your post incorrectly.

Is it possible LEGO is just not putting arm printing to drive up sales of the Final Duel? It goes together with the shuttle and is priced much worse than the shuttle itself. On another note, it occurred to me that this year we are getting all of the ships in that last Mando episode—the Tie, the X wing, the Moff’s cruiser, Slave One, the shuttle, and the Mandalorian fighter.

Does LEGO keep a store of backup set ideas or something to run in case too many sets need to be delayed?

Well there was the Cantina and Cloud City, but those are not standard system scale sets. I think SW just doesn’t quite lend itself to scenes as well as ships.

Some dude on Instagram is saying that we are getting a $300 Hedwig statue. Seems pretty suspicious to me, especially given no $300 sets were in the line up? Fake?

Agreed. Honestly, any of those would be pretty sweet, but I think the best thing would be a 3 foot tall posable Ant Man. /s

I’ll do you one better—no one has any idea why a Uatu is. Joking aside, I can’t see the d2c being comic based or something that has very little screen time in the mcu. Have any of the DC d2c sets even been comic based? They have had like 10 or so.

A snowspeeder is actually a pretty good guess. The last one was way overpriced, it’s been out of stock for a while, and its pretty much the only one of the sets LEGO likes to keep on the shelf that is not there right now.

The unknown figure doesn’t make a ton of sense unless the figures aren’t final.

This totally makes sense—the question is, why wouldn’t the wait and release Slave One when the Book of Boba Fett comes out?

On a completely unrelated note to the At At, this year officially breaks the whole seven year MTT pattern.

Ant Man and Captain Marvel could probably use new face prints...their heads are not very accurate.

Something just occurred to me. Do we know whether the troop transport is a standard troop transport or the Trexler Marauder?

Apparently Slave One is back in stock. That makes this choice of sets even more confusing. The small X wing makes sense since the version on the market had a completely different color scheme. Maybe it is Jango Fett’s slave one? It would be weird to retire a perfectly good, if expensive set, and in only six months put another of the exact same version out.

What appears to be a robot just leaked, along with a box and a set of tiles.

Could we expect the $30 set to contain Rex? This is a wave with a lot of focus on Siege of Manadalore, Rex is crucial to that scene and the Bad Batch arc, there seems to be a “give the people what they want” mentality, and Ahsoka was in last year’s wave and she was another crazily expensive minifig, $30 was the price of Trouble on Tatooine, which had a desirable character in it, not to mention the fact that LEGO just released the 501st battle pack. That said, it could also be an OT set given how there are relatively few. Maybe a sequel set?

I can’t remember who posted it but someone said that when people realized that this set was bigger than minifig scale and didn’t come with Bob, Rex, Cody, Fives, Echo, 99, Clone Force 99, plus 10 p1 and 10 p2 clones that they would not buy it, and I have to believe that will happen. I was hoping it would be minifig scaled as well, but given that it’s not I have little interest in it now. In essence, I agree with your point. When people don’t buy this it’s going to make LEGO less likely to make more prequel sets. And then the cycle will probably continue with people saying LEGO doesn’t do enough of them...

I doubt it would go over well with gunship voters if they did the Nebulon B so much larger than the gunship, considering they would both be display scale.

If we get more than three, this will be the first standalone movie since Civil War to be a full wave, right?

I think it was a meme campaign inside a meme campaign. People spammed Bob in addition to MandR’s campaign.
