    Another hint; Does the character also have an official Skywalker Saga profile pic like BOBF Cad? That is, is the character in LEGO SW TSS? Might narrow it down a little bit at least...

    I think it would be great to see if they decide to give us proper confirmation in the show, but we're going to need a physical version of Geo in sets before they can be in a relationship in the sets too... :( There was the mini version of Zane's Ultra Combiner Mech in January, and the June polybag was the Well of the Lost (Arin vs. Dragonian Battle)

    I still think the Rebuild the Galaxy TIE in the 2-pack set really should have been sand blue! It would have worked so well seeing as it's not based on canon, is definitely an anniversary set of sorts, and was really similar to the previous version (so changing the colour would have been nice as just variation). Also, the leak of 2026 Cad Bane's face is legit, right? It looks pretty good if so, albeit slightly faded due to being a light colour printed on a dark colour.

    Krennic is coming in the Death Star releasing in a few days (not accessible but at least he exists), and B2-EMO is in the advent calendar! Two more down, several to go...

    Isn't Revan using his original design? I feel like they would have updated it from the 2014 version if they were considering releasing a new one.

    Thank you this is glorious Together we will manifest TIE Avenger!!!

    While I understand wanting to army build more night troopers than death troopers, this doesn't really work out for people who only want to buy one, because then you only have 1 solitary night trooper, when really you need 2 at a minimum for generic troopers that there are multiple of. Personally, I'm going to buy one later in the year (not exactly clamoring for it considering the build), and I'm going to be happy with my 3 night troopers and 2 death troopers (1 NT from the peridea set), and that'll feel like enough for me while being nicely balanced in terms of the ratio between them and what I'm actually going to use them for.

    You could always just switch out the heads and pretend that some of the men have slightly longer hair (crazy I know), but I suppose I get where you're coming from Personally though (not that I'm getting the set), I do much prefer the interesting variety of useful heads and the inclusion of hats that don't make the people wearing them look bald.

    The Gingerbread AT-AT is actually so adorable omg I need it so badly The interior is so great, and the Vader figure has a TWO-COLOURED CAPE IN THE SOFTER FABRIC WITH INCREDIBLE PRINTING??? (This is clearly where the cloth kama budget has gone this year) And the price isn't even that awful??

    75422, 8+, $70, March 1st. TIE Avenger??
  11. AD_Bricks
    ...featuring a TIE Avenger that will consequently be made into a set because of the movie. Right? (No need to answer, of course it will)

    Can confirm, it was indeed supposed to end after season 2 in 2013, but people begged for more, which is why season 3 is called "Rebooted"

    What do we think about the description for the anniversary set that appeared a little while ago saying something about connecting to the monastery? Is it mistaken, could it mean the 2019 version, or could we actually have a new one coming out (alongside a Garmadon's dark fortress if that one dubious list that mentioned a monastery is to be believed)?

    I agree in principle, but in many cases, I do really like seeing the character on the inside more clearly, and trans-black is even worse at that than the old trans-brown, so I do prefer trans-clear a lot of the time. Also, on sets like the recent ARC-170, the new trans-clear ones look way better since the trans-black stood out way too much imo. However, in cases like the new playscale Jango's Slave I and the pirate snubfighter, trans-black was definitely the right choice.

    Have you ordered your free replacement trans-clear cockpit pieces and sticker sheet? (Assuming you have the set) Mine arrived the other day, and though I still despise clear-backed stickers, the colour swapped windscreens are a drastic improvement and they make the printing on the stickers look a lot more white. I'm much happier with the set overall after that little fix.

    Looking at the 2024 smart brick City sets from the UK trial program, I feel like these new sets will almost certainly have a couple of interactive sidebuilds each. I don't think the tiny X-Wing will be the only thing in the set, there's no way they'd try selling that on its own. If the smart brick is the selling point, it'll surely come with things to do with it besides fire lasers into thin air, lol. (Not that that justifies the price of the set overall, but I think that's why the X-Wing looks like only $40)
  17. AD_Bricks
    Disregard the blasphemer, they mean only to deceive. TIE Avenger must and will happen.
  18. AD_Bricks
    That is a ROUGH looking X-Wing, based on the sketch. Oh dear. Pleading to the Seven Source Dragons that 75445 is a TIE Avenger PLEEEEEASE

    Let's all make sure to keep track of this, I think it would definitely be worth knowing how these sets are doing over their lifetime (more so than others) Also, an interesting case study for value and Australian price conversion weirdness: 2024 Star Destroyer: RRP US$160 (~AU$245 converted) -- Aus RRP AU$300 -- Available at retailers for AU$260 -- 1555 pieces 2025 Republic Juggernaut: RRP US$160 (~$AU$245 converted) -- Aus RRP AU$250 -- Available at retailers for AU$210 -- 813 pieces 2025 Temple Bounty: RRP US$200 (~AU$306 converted) -- Aus RRP AU$300 -- Available at retailers for AU$200 -- 2387 pieces In conclusion, I am going to cry because what

    It's much too late to avoid that, I'm already struggling to envision a timeline in which the $70 set is anything other than a TIE Avenger. My hopes are WAY up. It would be very rude of The LEGO Group® to do anything other than reveal a TIE Avenger as the upcoming $70 set for January 2026. They wouldn't do that, would they?

    Mega Construx and Brick Shop aren't the same, they're just both owned by Mattel. Brick Shop didn't exist before this year, and it supposedly isn't replacing Mega or anything like that.
  22. AD_Bricks
    Rightly so
  23. AD_Bricks
    What's happening with the DC license for 2026? I keep hearing something about Mattel getting it, but then also that that might just be for action figures and not building playsets, but then also Mattel Brick Shop might be making DC sets, but then also they already own mega construx anyway so it doesn't change anything... What's actually going on? Is LEGO DC ending somehow or are a few people spreading misinformation?

    I think he's implying that by buying the 327th battle pack as soon as you found it rather than waiting for a sale or something, you're part of the reason why LEGO keeps producing sets that are this ridiculously overpriced. While you're of course free to do what you like with your money, and your son's upcoming bday is definitely a fair reason to buy it now rather than later, I can't say I completely disagree with him :( Either way, I hope your son enjoys the set :D

    Where did the rectangle thing come from? All I heard were the dimensions, and that it's "not a full sphere". That sounds like it's just going to be half a ball, so you can have semi-spherical exterior on one side and cross-section interior on the other side. While a full sphere would be ideal, I don't think it's going to be anywhere near as bad as it would be if it was a rectangle.
