Is there any chance that Ahsoka’s interceptor comes with a vulture droid as an homage to her old starfighter set? That could explain the abhorrent price.

I think it might just be the one that they introduced for Bo-Katan last year.

Ditto, but even better would be if it was a microfighter GNK Cruiser from LSWTSS

@ToaDraco Please see above re Enoch not getting a new mould. This was already quoted by someone else in response to your query but I think you must not have seen it. They said afterwards that there isn't a new mould (the post that I quoted above).

Ah, that's my mistake. Over here it's $50, which normally means that the US price is $35, whereas before the price increases, US$30 sets were always $45 here. I guess 75333 was just caught right in the middle of the period that they were implementing the changes over. Still, I guess going from 35 to 40 isn't horrendous, but there have been several US$40 SW sets that are $70 in Aus, so going from 50 to 70 would be a bit mean for so few extra pieces.

Is it being US$40 rather than $35 like Obi's one(wan) from 2022 just due to price increases, or does it perhaps imply that there's a little more to it, like extra pieces to colour-swap it? I could see them doing that to enable people to switch everything around, as we see in the trailer for RTG. It makes sense, because it'd be like the swappable wings in the X-Wing and TIE set, though they were never going to do that for the Dark Falcon as it's too big to be feasible.

I think the colour scheme was mentioned a while ago, but definitely not in as much detail, just that it would be white/red.

I decided a while ago that I'm not going to buy the Dark Falcon or X-Wing vs. TIE sets because I already have a number of Falcons, TIEs, and X-Wings, and in doing so I seem to have set my expectations for the sets way too low, and now they've impressed me to the point that I'm having to try really hard not to want them The Droid Factory astromechs don't look very pretty though; definitely hoping Leia+Lola will be very cheap on the aftermarket.

I was more referring to how that set, with its silly little astromech accessories and being less of a display piece despite being a "buildable character set", is probably going to sell to more young kids, and they probably aren't going to know/care about Mara Jade, whereas they might have recently watched Kenobi and will remember Leia and her cute little droid. Aside from this, though, they definitely could still have gotten away with including that other character you mentioned (Mara Jade), or another one that I know many of the older fans would appreciate, Mara Jade.

Considering the set that the figure is in, I do see how it made more sense to LEGO to include young Leia with Lola than, say, Mara Jade, or like some of you suggested, Mara Jade.

Seems pretty fun, but buildable figures aren't really my thing, so I'll probably just have to hope that Leia+Lola are dirt cheap online, haha.

Well, there were Rebel troopers in the 2019 UCS Tantive IV at the same time as the 4+ TIE Fighter iirc, so not quite, but even so, they are strangely uncommon.

Exactly my thoughts!

Sorry, when was this confirmed? Perchance was it a novel, comic, or some other EU material that Disney has never expressed any care for? I get that people do love all of the non-canon stuff, however in terms of what Disney considers canon, I'm not certain that there's ever been anything other than an implied Jesus-esque birth. Either way, refer to @Agent Kallus' comment.

Not sure if this one counts as the tip portion is a different material, but this tail piece is typically moulded in two different colours, but for Mando's N-1 was produced in entirely light bluish-grey. Edit: Was also done in entirely dark-azure a year earlier for a Frozen set. Another edit: Never mind, it's been done in all one colour several times, but I think it still counts, haha.

Thanks, good to know.

Vader having clone trooper legs has got to be a mistake, yes? They gave him arm prints and everything, surely he got his own leg printing.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm fairly certain he was implying that the X-Wing was the first UCS V3, and that the Y-Wing is unlikely to be the second. I personally can't think of any other UCS set with 2 remakes.

Do we think the larger of the Star Wars August sets will use the new box design that some other themes are getting for larger sets starting in June?

Happy enough with the Falcon figs, probably worth picking up as it's different enough to the 2015, 2018, and 2019 ones that I already have. X-TIE has nothing super interesting to me as I hoped, glad I can skip it. Bob is small/cheap enough that whatever the other fig is I'll probably get it on sale, sounds super fun! Pardon me WHAT??? I was hoping for $270 as a maximum as it looks really good so maybe I could justify buying it, but it's way too similar to the 2014 one that I already have to spend 300 bucks on. For comparison (off the top of my head so may be wrong): 2019 Falcon: 160 - 250 Razor Crest: 130 - 200 AT-AT: 160 - 250 Light cruiser: 160 - 270 Justifier: 170 - 260 AT-TE: 140 - 230 Gunship: 140 - 250 Yavin: 160 - 260 Ghost: 160 - 260 ISD: 160 - 300 Dark Falcon: 170(?) - hELP

All I've heard is that they'll be in chronological order.

I do hope they'll do the spinning turrets again, those are super fun. Being able to control all of them at once remotely is way better than an actual shooting feature.

Noticed something interesting... At Kmart, the price tag on the side of the shelf labels the Tantive IV starship series set as "LEGO STAR WARS 75376 MIDI SCALE TANTIVE IV". I assume that that's just due to an employee entering that as the name because that's what it's known as typically, but it would be cool if there is some sort of hidden label for those sets behind the scenes that denotes them as midi-scale.
