Certainly... interesting looking. Doesn't scream "peach" to me. I'd personally rather they use printed 1x1 heart tiles like they did in some of the older Monkie Kid sets.

I don't think I've seen this new piece; what set/s is it in?

Lot's of reviews are finally popping up, and the sets look better the more of them I see! Ended up preordering the two largest sets plus Bunnie's outdoor activities, which is far more than I planned (though at least for a bit less than LEGO sells them for), but damn am I excited to have them in person. Can't wait to hear what the two August sets are.

I just double checked for us, and the screenshot I saved about this leak a while ago seems to just say "same exact figure as in the Venator", without anything about the pauldron, so I'm going to assume it's included, but I suppose we can't be too sure. Ah, so that's how they intend on selling this set to people who aren't interested in the mechs. Knew there had to be something.

IIRC the word was that the Rex figure in the microfighter would definitely be the same as the Venator one, and so would specifically include both arm printing and the pauldron.

Hm. I wonder how they decide what's fine and what isn't. Maybe it's to do with which pieces are exclusive to one set? (Note that I haven't actually checked which pieces are available so I'm not sure).

I think the general rule is that you can't get licensed prints or moulds from their PAB service. Tbh, I'm not sure why Rex's pauldron is an exception.

Oh, excellent!

Does anyone remember when the Sith Infiltrator is supposed to be releasing? I thought it was part of the Aug/Sep wave, but as it was teased alongside the reveal of the anniversary figs releasing in March without any of the other three supposed sets with anniversary figs releasing later on, I'm now thinking it's supposed to be a June release, or even May?

Haven't seen the new episodes yet, but are you implying that these are two different things as of S3? If so, that's very good. I didn't really like that it was just regular TK Troopers piloting the gunships and V-wings in seasons 1 and 2.

The last anniversary figure??!?!?!1?!/!?!/1?!?!?!1!/?!

Perhaps it will include OT Yularen as a way to stop the character from being exclusive to the Venator (in terms of recent sets, at least), although the figure itself will still be exclusive.

Surely it's a Lucrehulk in the same scale as the Death Star 2

As a present teenager, I have wanted some variety of base (ideally Imperial, Republic, or Rebel) since I was perhaps 7. Yavin IV finally fulfilled that dream, and it looks like this Death Star will do so yet again. I would bet a good bit hat lots of kids feel the same way, so I reckon any set within this vein would be an amazing playset.

Yeah, and I suppose they know most older collectors are just going to build their second copy backwards or something, so that both walls are on the same side, but they probably don't want to advertise that since it might be too tricky for younger children. Having them marketed as linkable in the way that they are (walls opposite, sort of ugly) is probably just a compromise so that the technic pins serve a function for kids, while also hinting to adults that you're encouraged to buy multiple.

Exactly! How did USD $50, $80, and $85 end up at AUD $80, $100, and $150 respectively??

Oh yeah, I compared the silhouette to the two different pieces irl and it does look to be the HP one. I'm quite excited to get it in dark tan!

Anakin’s hairpiece looks like the Hobbit one to me 🤔

Another example would be in the Ministry of Magic, there's a typewriter with a 1x2 tile representing paper held upwards with clips. I think the technique has been used like that in other sets too but I'm not sure. If you're going to tease somebody for pointing out grammatical errors (something I am guilty of and definitely deserve flak for), at least call them a "grammar police officer" (or really anything else) rather than that, thanks in advance.

There are seemingly a few more coming; we just don't have the details quite yet.

This is true; I was spending lawn money on LEGO (exclusively LEGO and nothing but LEGO) from 10 years old.

Light bley legs, because not only are the top halves of his legs covered by his grey kama, but the bottom halves have grey armour. His toes are printed white on the actual figure because his toes are the only white part of his lower leg armour, but the entire rest of the armour down there is grey, so the legs would have been amazing if they had only been grey, but alas, I am disappointed with that one aspect of the figure. The legs, when compared to reference material, just look bad. Otherwise, I am very happy with the figure.

Max Rebo pretty clearly had just two limbs in BOBF, so I wouldn’t worry about that too much. I’d be shocked if this new one had four.

That would be AWESOME! I’d love to see them give him a white lightsaber with a golden hilt, so it’s like he used to have a red one and healed the crystal like Ahsoka did, as a sort of inversion of going from friendly character to villain (even though of course he was a Sith Lord the whole time).

I think it’s quite cool that the first Clones to actually get arm printing were Rex, Fives, and Echo, (and Omega too but whatever) and also that there are now figures of both Fives and Echo! Thought I had while writing this: Fives had better have a specialised face print. I hope we get to see it in leaks at some point soon.
