Damn, that would really suck. I hear that they might come on 11th or 15th of January, but otherwise I can easily imagine a situation where they come out on some random time and date and immediately go out of stock for months before I even have the chance to buy them

Bruh the accessory packs in Australia and USA went from "coming soon on 1 January 2022" to just "coming soon" ;(

If the rumours about the no way home set and Raimi sets was true, when would you guys expect them to release?

Does anyone know when the 2022 sets come out? In Australia it is 10:00 AM of January 1st but the accessory packs and battlepack still say coming soon

I did manage to modify the Slave 1 to be able to squeeze in another minifigure (uncomfortably) and I'm very happy. Its not ideal and sacrifices some of the stability of the cockpit but it is good to be able to fit in Mando.

Hey I was wondering if anyone knew of any mods to the 75312 Boba Fett's Starship to have a seismic charge dropping feature or more seats. Thanks.

If there were Tobey sets that would be "so good"

I know I'm late to this but I think it's fine they have that phase 2 animated armour for the phase 2 live action clones. It was meant to be a hybrid one anyways, so its good to have some consistency between clones from now on. Also, before phase 1 and phase 2 have shared the same armour anyways so it's not too big of a deal.

So I tried putting Princess Leila’s head (from the Tantive 4 and X Wing sets) on Sylvie and surprisingly it suits her really well and is way better than the official head

So I think my CMF Wanda figure is misprinted but on LEGO.com they don't even offer replacements since it's a minifigure series... are there any cheap alternatives?

I just got the CMF Wanda figure and there are a few lines of silver reflective printing on her left side but not on her right. I haven't found anything similar online, is this normal?

I'm building the bad batch shuttle and I don't like how those technic pieces on the bottoms of the wings are light grey... it really sticks out and it would have been great if they were just moulded in black. I don't get why lego does stuff like that and throws contrasting and sometimes random colours onto builds, with hidden technique stuff its understandable but for stuff like that on the bottom of the wing, its annoying since they have already moulded that piece in black before

Get ready for Mandr to be pissed off despite having no proof that Jar Jar had the most votes or any confirmation that the vote would be the actual set...

First of all, just because you whine about wanting something doesn't mean you always get it. I don't know how the process works at lego, but I'm pretty sure they don't just look at the comments on an Mandr video and slap the most requested figure into their next set. There are a number of unseen factors that go into play to determine what they do and don't make. Second of all, it takes time. The 501st battlepack is solid proof that lego does listen to their fans, but it does take time for sets to go through the entire process. Lastly, what excessive OT stuff? This whole summer wave only has one OT set and is a love letter to the Mandalorian, Clone Wars and Bad Batch. Yeah, the January wave was filled with OT remakes but this isn't always about the hardcore fans. There are some casual fans who can't afford the expensive X Wings/ Tie Fighters or wasn't into lego at the time, and the January wave gave much more affordable versions for those who missed out. It's really sad how this wave has so many amazing parts in the sets and figures, but some people only focus on the negatives.

I'm building the Bad Batch shuttle and decided not to add the tiles and box in the back compartment. With this minor modification, I can now squeeze 4 figures in the back, or 2 figures and the gonk. This tiny mod makes the set so much better in my eyes.

I did see a couple of mods on reddit, one which used other parts and one which used just the parts from the set and from what I can tell a lot of space can be added by making a hallway.

True, but I think there is a bit of selfishness/inconsideration there. For lego, it doesn't matter what the limit is or whether most people can buy the set, as long as they sell all their stock. However, making the limit so high makes it almost impossible for most people to get it. They might not be greedy, but just really inconsiderate to the average consumer

It's such a shame though, I usually don't like to complain about lego and say they don't care about their fans, but the way they are handling the 501st battle pack in Australia is so annoying. For some reason, the limit is 15 per consumer, because they care more about money than the average consumer guess. As well as this, they seem to have 0 stock at all and only restock it every few months where it immediately sells out, practically making the set retired. This is the same for basically every other summer set from last year too. It's come to the point where I have to stress to get the Summer 2021 sets ASAP just to be safe, which kinda ruins the experience. Part of the magic for lego for me is walking into a store and going "wow, I want that set" but I haven't found any of the 2020 Summer sets on shelves after the first month it came out. Sorry about the little rant, I just really want lego to get their stock issues together.

Yeah, this is the first wave in a while where I love every set, especially given that there are only 2 remakes, which have different contexts/figures to the original sets

Thanks, I'll try buying even if there's a chance they will cancel it

What was the store?

The 501st battlepack was just in stock again in Australia, but dissapeared. Why the hell is the limit 15?

Yeah, I'm surprised, especially since the limit on most sets is FIFTEEN. I'm hopeful for better stock too, so hopefully, I don't have to stress about sets retiring super early before I can get what I want.

Boy, I'm glad I live in Australia where I had virtually 0 problems when ordering, except for my GWP showing up a few minutes late

I love the advent calendar, as someone who doesn't purchase Marvel sets that much, its great to get a lot of iconic charcters, builds and the infinity gauntlet
