    The January wave having more anniversary figures is nice, definitely explains the otherwise meh minifigure line-ups. I do wonder if we'll get any others, hopefully so since so far they're the most interesting part of the 2026 sets. Chewbacca makes way too much sense not to do, seeing as how they already have the head mold in-production. I will say though, why do they keep including exclusive minifigures in buildable figure sets? I would have figured that the people buying the buildable figures tend not to care about minifigs as much, but I suppose the intention might just be to get people who wouldn't buy them normally to pick it up. Idk it's just annoying.

    The battle pack only having 4 minifigures is disappointing but not surprising honestly, the 327th was $45 with only 4 minifigures and some droids (which I would say Lego typically doesn't consider to be full minifigures). Nonetheless it is pretty disappointing, I was hoping to get at least one of these but I definitely won't at that price. I'd say the jury is still out on most of the others though, the minifigure selections aren't amazing but they're pretty logical for the subject matter (jsf line up is disappointing but not unexpected). What it'll really come down to for me are the builds, I could definitely be convinced to pick up the Mustafar and Bespin duels but it'll depend on how they come out (especially Mustafar since I own the one from a couple years ago, but it's puny enough that I wouldn't say no to an upgrade).

    Jokes aside I actually do think that a protracted period of major new Star Wars content might be great for Lego Star Wars, it'd give them more room to cover more niche/obscure stuff that gets skipped over in favor of covering popular older movies and the new stuff.

    One doppelganger per ninja would be interesting but I feel like that would eat up so much of the prints budget unless they're reusing parts from the regular ninjas. Maybe they'd do them like the Forbidden Five and split them up over winter and summer though, I guess that'd still allow for some basic villains too.

    Just saw the list of new sets. Don't have much to comment on but the concept of "Evil Cole" is cracking me up. Is he already a character in the show or is this a new guy? Is he exactly the same except evil, or is it like a mirror version thing where he's Cole's total opposite?

    Definitely agree with others on here that it would be seriously disappointing if the next set is a statue of the Master Sword (or Hylian Shield, or Triforce, or whatever else there are already a million statues of). Honestly I'd be happy with pretty much anything else, it could go in any direction and I wouldn't be disappointed given the sheer volume of characters and locations from across the series that could be covered. My feeling is that they might do something from Tears of the Kingdom next, seeing as how it's hugely popular (or at the very least it sold very well). It would also let them reuse at least the hair and headpieces from the BotW Link and Zelda, which would free up the parts budget for other new molds. Not really sure what they would do though, the Light Dragon would be cool but I'm not sure if it's iconic enough? TotK doesn't have a ton of iconic locations specific to it though aside from the general setting of the sky islands, which I suppose could be a set but would lack the iconic-ness of the Deku Tree and the OoT Final Battle.

    Wow those look bad. Most of them look so squished down, it's like they're trying to make them chibi but it's not cute it just looks bad.
  8. Meaf
    They both look good. Honestly the AT-AT is a bit tempting as I've been wanting one for a while, but I think my lack of free space plus not enjoying the movie is kinda pushing me towards not getting it haha. Sandcrawler isn't my thing as much but it's nice that we're getting mudolorian and Kuiil (in a cheaper set).

    It is definitely abnormal but part of it is probably due to them really being the only main characters. It's not like with making sets for the sequels where you had Rey, Finn, and Poe, plus main antagonists who regularly show up to focus the sets around. But to some extent it is also just Lego being weird and wanting to include them in every set for some reason cause there were still sequel sets that didn't have any main characters/villains in them.

    I feel like that wouldn't fit with the general design ethos they've had going with all the sets up to this point, but those two are arguably the most desirable minifigures they haven't yet done for LotR so you'd think Lego would have thrown them in Minas Tirith if they weren't planning to make them later on. If this theme keeps going then there's no doubt in my mind we'll get them eventually, though as @Black Falcon said a display set at some point would make a lot of sense as I don't know if Pellenor Fields itself would be as popular as a lot of other options they could do for a larger set. Maybe something between $50 and $100 that has Eowyn, Theoden, and the Witch King, with the main build being the Fell Beast?

    Not really related to your point but these names are so funny to me. What's next, lieutenant arm hair? This looks pretty great for a potential $10 set, nice job! I don't know how willing Lego is to actually put these kinds of sets out (I suppose time will tell if the Mando speeder was a one-off) but I feel like they're more important now than ever if Lego wants to keep kids interested in Lego. Also would just be nice to have a cheap set with both of them. If I'm not mistaken, the last time C-3PO appeared in a set under $50 was the 2022 advent calendar, and before that it was the 2020 landspeeder.

    I know this isn't a bold prediction at all, but I feel they'll definitely do a bigger wave than they typically do for a TV show. Starfighter is primed to be wayyyy more popular than anything they've done since Mando, and even if it does just fine for a movie, it'll still have way more eyes on it than almost all the Disney+ shows. A wave on the scale of the sequel ones seems unlikely but I think 6 sets would be very reasonable (plus maybe one or two spoiler sets later on). Agreed, and if they're waiting that long then they may as well just have it (maybeeee "them") tie in with season 2. Probably not what most people want but that just seems way more realistic then them waiting until to cover season 1 until it's two years in the rear-view mirror.
  13. Meaf
    Agreed on the Starfighter speculation, I think we'll get a decently big wave for it but there's zero shot it's going to monopolize the year like Mando did for 2026. I mean, we already know that it pretty much certainly won't since we have a pretty decent list of leaked sets to work off of. I just hope it's more like the 2010s movie waves where it doesn't eat into the other waves of the year as much (not expecting this tbh just hoping).
  14. Meaf
    If the trends of the last few years hold then we should be due for another Ninjago City set next year (they've doing one every other year for a while). Even if they end that line, I imagine they'd keep doing sets in the same vein since they seem to be pretty popular.

    New official images for the Legends sets are out, my thoughts haven't changed much from my initial appraisal but I do think it's neat that you can remove the Ultra Dragon from the stand.
