I was planning to make this a bit of a holiday project, lmao

In addition, I reckon it looks super cool like that, especially in the opalescent colour (I don't think opal orange would have looked as good), so I don't think I'll bother fixing it when I get my hands on the set.

I'm fairly certain the lineups on boxes are just for figures in general, as the LSAH descriptions usually differentiate between "minifigures" and "LEGO droid figures" or just "LEGO figures", with astromechs, B1s, and the like being in the latter category. Spider droids and such are normally specified separately. Cases in point, "The set includes 5 LEGO minifigures – Commander Cody, a 212th Clone Gunner and 3 212th Clone Troopers – to pit against 3 Battle Droid LEGO figures and a buildable Dwarf Spider Droid, plus assorted cool weapons." or "Bring classic scenes to life with 12 LEGO Star Wars™ characters, including a new-for-August-2023 Garven Dreis (Red Leader) LEGO minifigure and an R2-BHD LEGO droid figure."

Please, mate, I can't take it anymore! There has to be something you can do to get autocorrect working again!

I think at this point there's not really any hope of them bringing the price down; I reckon the N-1 micro and mechs being $16 has pretty well set the new standard going forward.

Yes cool but also can you pleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaase please pretty please spell "definitely" correctly

It's always funny when people compare multi-hundred-dollar collector's items to cheap little cupcakes (or whatever hotcakes are, idk). Not because it's wrong or anything, but because it actually makes some sense here.

I find it odd that the Coruscant Guard Clones are called "Coruscant Guards" on the box.

Ewewewewewewewewew no thanks Edit: Pretty sure they only did that because, for one thing, I doubt dark troopers would look good as a specially moulded piece or two (plus it would cost them a lot more), and for another, Huyang isn't really surprising given that similarly shaped droids (protocol droids, etc.) are already full minifigs and have been forever. The B2s look even less humanoid than the dark troopers; the only way I could see it coming close to looking decent is with a super chunky sandwich board head/torso piece.

Oh yeah, the mechs were put on there a while ago, and there's the spider tank too of course. Didn't know the BP was there, so maybe it's just Yoda's starfighter and Yavin IV missing now? Edit: The BP, starfighter, and Yavin were all put up sometime between my original post and the time you stumbled across this one, lmao. They're all there now. Edit 2: They don't seem to have a release date tied to them, perhaps they're delayed for some bizarre reason? That would be weird as other stores here already have them. Glob knows what's going through their heads

The August sets release in Australia in mere hours and they aren't on Aus LSAH yet

Literally all of the named troopers and arc troopers

How is it still not there?? Anyhow, I just ordered it for $220, but it said it was discounted from $260, so I think we can be fairly certain the reg. price is $260. Also, it's good to see some of the sets discounted so quickly considering how much they all cost together this time around.

Same thing went through my head the moment I read those words

You can see the figs (though not necessarily close up) in the lifestyle photos (I think that's what they're called) on LSAH.

That's interesting. I have the 2013 E-Wing, and it has a whole technic mechanism that folds the wings to a slightly higher angle to keep them off the ground, which is basically the main play feature of that set. Then again, that version isn't canon, and perhaps "actual" E-Wings can't do that. Also, it's cool that LEGO included 2 blasters for Sabine as well as Ezra's lightsaber Also also, the LSAH description of Ahsoka's T-6 seemingly confirms that the opening flaps on the back of the shuttle are only for weapons storage, so the actual ship can still only fit one single figure. Shame.

Given what we know about the Filoni movie, I doubt there'll be many new main characters, so I reckon if LEGO isn't giving us Thrawn in Jan or Mar next year, they're saving him for Filoni movie sets to give people more reasons to buy those if they already have most of the characters from Mando and Ahsoka sets.

I probably don't need to put a spoiler warning for the new trailer, but I will anyway.

Technically it was an "official reveal", since the pictures are from its listing on the AU/NZ LEGO store website, and it is actually also available for pre-order on there already. One of the physical images (wherein a kid is swooshing the Phantom around above the Ghost) shows Jacen on the ground but another fig inside the Phantom (fairly certain it's Beyta), so yep, can confirm that regular figs fit. Also, I quite like how the interior has little doorways that lead to the exit ramps, and that the exit ramps seem like they might actually have enough space to pose a figure. Significantly better use of all of that space in the sides of the ship than the weird little escape pods on the 2014 Ghost.

I'm fairly certain that the leaked images show that were just getting Fox and two regular shock troopers as far as clones go. I think I've gotten over the issues of the printed kamas and white-printing-on-darker-colours looking bad, but the main issues with this figure in particular are definitely the blatant inexcusable design errors on the torso and leg prints (i.e. white middle section and white kneepads, all should be red).

Unsure what you mean, could you please clarify?

Yavin IV, 332nd BP, and Yoda's starfighter still don't seem to be on the Australian LSAH. Harumph. I wanna see what the prices are, particularly with the BP and Yavin, as the US$160-170 sets can be anywhere between AU$250 and 270, and not in order. Like, the AT-AT was 160 and 250, then the Light Cruiser was 160 and 270, then the Justifier was 170 and 260. I wanna know how much money I have to put aside for this thing. And, of course, we all know why the price of the BP is a point of contention.

...Jabba mech. In all seriousness, very happy with the fig selection in the new gunship, can't wait to see pictures. Plus, these Ahsoka sets seem to be shaping up really nicely.

hmm

Ah, that's good, I didn't spot that part of the trailer (assuming that's where you got that image). Yeah, would just be a massive L if they did her jacket instead of her armour.
