To be fair, if they do it justice, it will have a full interior, etc., which will bump it up a lot from the gunship, which had just empty space.

I've heard some rumblings of this set as well, but nothing definite... We shall see...

I suppose we'll just have to see. It is looking likely that it will be an adjoining promo to 40531, but I don't know for sure.

Ah yeah. 40577 is coming as well, but there isn’t much for that one yet.

40560 is Professors of Hogwarts, a 4-pack of Brickheadz for $40. The accessory pack rumor was not accurate. Hope that helps!

That should be set 40547. I believe it releases a bit later in May than the rest of the wave.

I was more looking for a comparison of the 2018 X-Wing and the 2021 Tie, rather than comparing the X-Wings and Ties to each other.

I'm getting a used copy of 75218 X-Wing soon. I'm considering getting 75300 (at least 1) to go with it, but I'm trying to decide how it would look scale-wise. Does anyone have any pictures of them together? I can't seem to find any online (I didn't want to start a new topic for this, and it relates to getting a new set soon).

It will be set 40531. Nothing is definite otherwise that I am aware of at this point.

I would love to see a new Naboo N-1 or Duel of the Fates including Padme in her Theed Battle outfit. There are honestly a fair few sets she could appear in. The Mustafar costume is a bit more limited, as it could only come in the Battle of the Heroes duel (though there definitely is some more they could do with that). I'd love to see a droid factory set with Geonosis Padme.

CommanderBricks over on Instagram has some great comparisons of the Republic Fighter Tank with the AAT, and it really gives a pretty good perspective of size and value. Honestly, looking at the comparisons and piece counts, I'm feeling better about the $40 price point (though that never bothered me too much, despite feeling like it could be $30-$35).

To be fair, if they did include Chavez, it’s always possible it could be some different variant, which would have a different design in any images than the one in Gargantos Showdown.

Sorry. Yeah. I updated posts on Instagram, etc. with that info after JJP further discussed it (as more of a potential than a definite).

Looks like 76978, 76979, and 76981 are still releasing later this year!

40560 is still happening as "Professors of Hogwarts." Just not all the details out there are accurate for it. Hopefully a Quidditch pack will come at some point. I wouldn't mind a better way to get Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff Quidditch uniforms, haha.

I'm still not sure why everyone says the quotes sets are so overpriced. Frankly, they're about the usual PPP or even better than most Star Wars sets, have exclusive minifigures (for two of the sets), and, while they aren't huge, aren't a bad size either. I get that a lot of parts go into the base, but still.

40521 Mini Haunted Mansion will be releasing later this year, yeah. It will likely be around the same scale as the Mini Disney Castle, though that's not 100% certain yet.

Far as I know, it will just be the Mickey & Friends and Lightyear sets for Minifig-based sets this year, yeah. Unless LEGO decides to put a minifigure in the mini-scale Haunted Mansion as well.

Honestly, I'm really liking the look of this set. There's definitely the weird height difference from the source material in the body, but it isn't really noticable from this angle, and I doubt it will be that problematic when the set actually is built. Everything else looks great. I think the canopy piece captures the shaping pretty accurately from the front, and the figures (debates about "they aren't canon so why" aside) look great. Yeah, the PPP could be better, but otherwise I gotta say I like this one.

I'm honestly loving these sets - even the 4+ mech is really well done and doesn't feel overly simple. I could see this build coming in a regular set and wouldn't even really be upset. The XL-15 is honestly perfect. If it wasn't for everything else coming this year, I would be very tempted to buy that one.

Lightyear set reveals will be tomorrow, y'all.

To be fair, how many people complained about the set designs/ideas themselves versus complained about them - replacing figures for May 4/price point for Vader, etc.? I saw some reviews that talked about how great of a model the Meditation Chamber was, and I'm in the boat of enjoying the microscale ideas, so they aren't wrong that some people do like that set concept. There's also a place of how well they sold beyond the initial internet reaction as well.

I could be completely wrong and the lighting is just that bad, but it seems to be dual-molded.

Zooming in, it looks like Mace does have dual-moulded arms!

I will say, I don't think the Tank picture angle is flattering for it (similar to the first pic of the Compactor). I think we'll get a better idea when we more of a head-on picture.
