Yeah, they did, apparently it was some fake LEGO company that stole the design of someone's MOC LEGO Razor Crest and sold it as a product. However, they seem to have solved that issue in its entirety at this point, so I don't think it would affect the name of the supposed UCS one. They still haven't put the pictures of the box (the box that says "Razor Crest" on it) on the LSAH listing though. Also, the AT-TE is by far the set I'm most excited for coming up in the august wave. So many good things about it, and it will make a fine addition to my collection. When was the last time we got 8 figures in a regular playscale Star Wars set?

In the new trailer he had a cape (black on the outside, red on the inside, they'll probs reuse Gideon's), and with the clip for the lightsaber on the old mould sticking off the back, they'd probably have to make a new mould to accommodate the cape.

Has it not always been a June 1st release? I don't know you so you might disagree entirely depending on your personal opinion on the game, but I would recommend just getting the game itself as the figure itself will probably later be more expensive than it + the game right now.

It was available on LSAH on April 26th. I thought it was May 1st as well until then. My local stores are now saying they’ll get it on May 3rd.

Lol, that’s hilarious, but nonetheless unfortunate. Still no fighter tanks in Australia besides on LSAH. C’mon, LEGO, get on with it please.

Ok, hear me out… but what if the AT-TE is so expensive because it’s gonna have Obi-Wan’s blue interceptor with it? Edit: Actually, not a chance since they’re already doing his starfighter.

Looks like the influencers have been sent Mando’s N-1. No reviews just yet as far as I can tell, just an unboxing video from BrickWiz. Also, still no fighter tanks in Australia anywhere besides LSAH, not even physical LEGO stores, which we can usually count on to get sets on release day or rarely before.

Oh my gosh, I thought no one else was ever going to notice. I noticed this ages ago in the first gameplay leak. I haven’t played the game myself as of yet (although I have secured myself a copy) so I don’t know for sure, but I think it’s just the OT falcon that has this problem. I think the 2 sequel ones are fine and the ep 9 one is close enough to the OT one with the round dish that you could just use that one if you don’t want it to have the missing dish. I hope this problem is fixed in a patch soon.

Has anyone else seen that blurry AT-TE box art image? Is it real? I can’t find the original source.

I knew it! I said the tank would look better when we got a better look at it! This thing is bloody awesome, above and beyond my expectations. I love the fact that it has 6 figs, as well as space for at least 2/3 of the troops inside but most likely more because of the awesome exit ramp in the back!

And all this without the prices going up more please lol

I’m curious, have we gotten any clearer/different images of Mando’s face print from 75325 since that first one that, to be fair, had terrible lighting? I’m anxious to see it properly. An interview with the LEGO Star Wars designers (rare event) revealed that the Star Wars and Jurassic World designers have very little collaboration between them, and the fact that they both designed very similar quote sets and the same time was an utter coincidence. Are we really buying this? I find it hard to believe.

I reckon it’s true! It would make sense since this is a tcw set and it would keep gunship Mace exclusive. I’m so hyped for this set now!!! Interestingly, it looks like the battle droids have silver blasters. Only other time that’s happened (I think) was the phantom menace battle droid from the 2020 advent calendar. Maybe it’s cuz this is a 2003 tcw set? Or maybe all tcw battle droids will have silver blasters now? Or maybe all battle droids?

It’s supposed to come with Taun We, so it probably won’t be the Delta-7b unfortunately. I wouldn’t put it past them to screw up and give us a 7b anyway though. I like the look of this new stormie design. Every time I rewatch any of the OT movies or the “A Star Wars story”s, I just think “Why don’t the LEGO stormies have white waists like the clones? It only makes sense.” I’m glad they’re finally doing it, but I would’ve preferred it if they did it in 2019 when they updated the helmets, because now that’s ANOTHER different stormtrooper to display alongside the others.

Ah, thanks, that makes sense. That is the case for a lot of them, I know, however what I said is also correct because scalpers buy them and immediately resell them for way more. There was also a Grand Inquisitor with a cracked torso on bricklink that used to be AUD$25 but is now $80, sold by the same person.

I noticed that too, those Bricklink sellers were so quick in updating the prices! I'm extremely glad I have the TIE advanced prototype with the Grand Inquisitor already, but the Fifth Brother has gone up so much I'll never get my hands on him or the AT-TE, which is a shame since I've been saving up for that AT-TE for a while now, not even mostly because of that Inquisitor, I just like the scene. Also, the character played by Ingram is apparently called "Inquisitor Reva". Strange... I wonder if they're somehow planning to retcon the [number genered-sibling] system, or if they all have separate names that were never mentioned before, or if Reva is an outlier to the aforementioned system.

Oh yeah lol, I remember that.

There’s a guy on ig insisting that p2 Cody is gonna be a May 4th polybag as the promo this year… dunno whether they’re credible, but this rumour did pop up a while ago as well… anyway, I doubt it but nonetheless hope so. He’s “reposting multiple times a day until people believe” him. More like multiple times a second, like geez.

Even though this leak is likely fake, if LEGO does make a set like this, I hope the Rancor they use is around the same size as the old one because I’ve been using the old one as a stand-in and I’ve found it’s a lot smaller than Boba’s rancor in terms of scale. I know that Boba’s is smaller than Jabba’s in universe, but they’re not exactly going to have them scale to each other, so hopefully it’s the same size at least, if it’s brick built then maybe bigger.

I like the new face print. Wonder if there’ll be a hairpiece in the set? (there’d better be.)

I reckon the force ghost piece is gonna come in a few sets so that TLG can justify making a new mould, like with the BD droid. It could come in an Endor D2C, the Dagobah quote set, AND a potential Kenobi set, for all we know.

Normally the US site has pre-orders and Australia doesn’t. Ha! That’s how it feels! Anyway, got my hands on a throne room from my local LEGO store.

I just kept telling myself that they weren’t using a dual moulded Ninjago katana because it couldn’t retract like other lightsabers and didn’t want to make a new mould just like this one, but apparently, they ALREADY HAVE THE PIECE! Ok, now I’m on the side of the argument that LEGO is stupid for not making a new Darksaber.

Even though what I’m gonna say doesn’t really mean anything for or against this, I thought I’d mention that we got quite a few rots sets in 2014 rather than 2015 and some aotc sets in 2013 rather than 2012.

I double checked and it is different on the box and renders on the website in comparison to the light cruiser fig but in Mandr’s review of the place the figure has the same arm printing. I’m guessing it’s just some kind of error on LEGO’s part. I realise now the light cruiser arms are still accurate, I dunno what I was trying to say there lol.
