  1. Don’t know if it’s right but I read the unprinted ones appeared in a different set that’s why they’ve been added to PAB. Also fairly certain the sandtrooper in the smart sets has a pauldron. Not sure if they are a smart figure themselves though or if normal. Looking at the box art I’m guessing it’s a normal figure.
  2. So was thinking the smart sets are only going to be available in 6 countries on release. I know those 6 are probably Lego’s biggest markets and sales wise but was thinking an entire wave exclusive to so few countries (for the moment). Just seems odd to have6 countries with more new sets on the shelves compared to others.
  3. Would they not just recolour the galactic marine piece? Feel like either way seems like it’ll be a good year to pick up imperial figures. Bound to be a new stormtrooper variant that we’ve never seen before. Or maybe the finally do the incinerator trooper from S1
  4. My hero the M and G sets on the look of it sound amazing imo. Lots of new things or existing stuff with new characters and figures so will be good. It’s a shame the May GWP is just the darksaber and not a set so I’ll probably shop around for all these sets
  5. The anniversary bp had 6 figures (plus a droid) so technically 7. Not out of the realms of possibility. But the set name itself lends to the fact that at least there is an AT-RT and it’s attacking something. If it’s a bp then maybe it’s a speeder and a basic defensive position. I’m optimistic about it I suppose also (I’m arguing with myself now) if it was a battlepack it would be in the set name. So maybe it is just an AT-RT attacking a small base or couple of speeders Also has anyone had a chance to update the 2026 page with the confirmed leaks, set numbers and release dates yet. I couldn’t see anything definitive just list of sets normally someone is very generous and organises it in to release dates and prices and set numbers etc i just kind of want to know what is coming when as I’m a bit lost. I know March is the tech wave but after that I ain’t got a scooby what’s coming
  6. AT-RT attack. Now it’s at faction vs faction battle pack price do we dare to dream that it could be one? Imperial remnant vs Mando and or new republic? if it isn’t I suspect then it might be an AT-RT maybe attacking some kind of imperial position. Kind of like the Paz vs moff Gideon set? At least it ain’t clones
  7. I can’t see it either but if they are releasing waves in January, March, May, June and July that is a lot of new sets in the shelves. Maybe the June and July counts as there 2HY wave swear they used to release the 2HY sets in June in the good old days
  8. Also no other smart bricks until 2027. I’m guessing that is the Hoth one. It’s very weird these leaks. We were never given a date just guessed it was the August wave. Wondering why these sets were leaked and not the ones that are coming in August (unless we aren’t getting one). Or these sets leaking did the job of appeasing most people enough to get over the smart brick issue because the real summer wave is all clones again 🤣
  9. I just remember last year when he started all the tariff increase nonsense that all the US summer sets went up in price from initial leaks but the rest of the worlds stayed the same. Maybe it might be more for PAB orders as I thought they just come from Poland now since they got rid of the bestsellers.
  10. So are we expecting a load of price hikes again for US fans if the orange buffoon has whacked another 10% tariff on Denmark and Europe? probably means prices will rise for the rest of us now as well.
  11. Not sure if dates of when a lot of those sets were given I’m guessing August? Smrt brick is March. A few Mando sets in May, June and July which does leave all the other system sets and wave two of the smart sets for August. Thinking about it it’s a shame was hoping for an Ahsoka S2 but then again they hadn’t confirmed when in 2026 that’s coming so I suspect January and March 2027 will be the time for those sets and maybe another Mando film set if the film is successful. I hope the galactic marine appears in the magazine here in the UK but with what 5-6 battle packs on the shelf still at the moment we don’t really need more battle packs and even more we can go a full year with just a clone mech being the only clone that appears on the shelf.
  12. Saw some of the new sets in Tesco today didn’t realise they had new box art for Mando and Grogu I like the dark blue normally don’t give a shite about it but yeah I liked it must be used to the normal box art colours of SW and the dark icons boxes that have been around for a few years now. even though the first 3 seasons have been covered fairly well still think there are a few sets and figures they could squeeze out if they were wanting to revisit the series more while the interest with the film as well. Hell I’d say even finish off BoBF sets as that is technically Mando series 2.5
  13. Let’s be real the bounty hunter pursuit is going to have 3 figures. Look at all the other sets in that price range from last year alone. Arc 170, 3 pilots, 1 droid u wing 3 figures 1 droid (probably counts as a figure tbh) RTG snowspeeder 3 figures slave 1 mini 3 figures V19 3 figures we can all dream but just would be crazy adding Jango in or anybody else, considering Lego’s track record.
  14. Not that I care it’s only in 6 countries but why just those 4 European counties and not Spain, Italy, Denmark, Sweden etc. why Australia and not NZ, why just the US and not Canada Is it to do with the App? Is there something legal wise which stops them, is it a licensing issue? If your Lego and launching a brand new venture that you think is going to make you money you launch it everywhere you don’t limit the market because it’s only going to hurt the sales more if it’s only releasing in 6 countries. it’s not looking good these sets are destined for heavy reductions and warming shelves for a long time. Also has anyone been able to properly match up all the leaks and when they are supposed to be releasing? The way all the syrem sets have been revealed I’m not too sure what’s coming and when. Are these all May/June sets or are they the August sets as well?
  15. I think half the Lego store is on back order atm think it’s just recovering from the Christmas period. Maybe where they are doing so may licensed big sets they might have spread themselves to far to meet demand… for the past few years icons and other themes have been getting more and more big sets released constantly seems like we have new sets every month now and that must have some impact on the warehouse and production side of the business. good news about the x wing will be at least we won’t get another f***ing red five Luke figure. As it’s new republic definitely be a new pilot, new astromech and probably Zeb and probably Mando as they will chuck him in any set :D it is his film after all
  16. Maybe whatever they have planned for Ahsoka S2 is considered too spoilery and they will wait for Jan 27 to release. So far without a trailer it’s hard to speculate but we’ve got all the main/notable characters from S1 except for gold head (cant remember his name cba to google it as well lmao). Rumours are season 2 is going to have a few big battles so I’m guessing a few NR ships but again maybe the characters included reveal to much? I reckon the echo base will be a trench, a turret (like we’ve got from past Hoth sets) and a micro AT-AT no point having a snowspeeder without the AT-AT and at $140 got make the piece count up somehow. Figure wise I’m guessing snowtrooper, one hoth rebel and either a pilot Luke or Hoth Han as the smart figure. the more pics come out of these sets the more it seems like it’s going to be a big loss. That’s why they gone for OT stuff so far because people are desperate enough to buy them, if they had released all sets that are due to be smart as regular sets we’d all be hailing it as the greatest wave in history. The fact the figures themselves have the crap printing on the back indicating it’s smart immediately alienates those people who are collectors because a lot of people on here love figure accuracy. It’s also rare these days I know but there are kids who don’t have access to fully utilise the smart brick so again it’s such a gimmick and I can only see Lego losing a lot of money from this but then again because it’s OT they’ll make back a fair amount of money because people always buy OT stuff regardless. testing a full wave on SW also sounds like they aren’t convinced otherwise they would be doing sets for Marvel/DC/Harry Potter etc this year as well all those themes have similar potential for smart bricks. thinking of the normal sets due to come out. I’m excited about an Imperial shuttle, means a whole not of new imperial figures. I’m right in thinking it’s linked to M&G? Never saw a shuttle in the 3 seasons of the Mandolorian if memory serves so it can only be from the film. Which again SW marketing being what it is means there will be at least one new stormtrooper type in there somewhere. Not keen on the Sandcrawler but happy for those who want one, might pick up some figures if they look interesting enough. AT-AT again I’ve got the last one, seems more expensive than the previous, is that inflation or does it come with a side build? Or is it downsized and overpriced (probably combo of all of them) Would rather an Endo bunker over Ewok village but again maybe something to pick up on sale but can see most the pieces going to two large trees and a hut or two and maybe two speeders if anything only gut is telling me it’ll be worst than Yavin. Jedi Starfighter gut feeling again is it’ll just be Anakin and R2 especially as it looks to be retailing cheaper than the Ahsoka one which came with 2 figures and a droid. Curious though two Anakins in the same wave? You’d have thought they’d have spread them out a bit
  17. Bounty hunter pursuit, ewok village wow unexpected! This must be most the summer wave. Not a clone in sight. But was hoping for something Ahsoka S2
  18. Are these May and June Mando sets do we think? I’ve lost track of what’s coming and price of numbers we know. also the Hoth smart play set 140 got to have an ATAT in it right? So that would be the fourth iteration of one in a year, slowly becoming the landspeeder. But honestly how stupid would one look at that scale and accommodate the smart brick. so what other sets are coming that haven’t been leaked for March/may?
  19. Sancrawler, ATAT and imperial shuttle coming linked to Mando (not smart play) some good news to counter the shite
  20. Hahahahahhaahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha they just look like 4+ sets, what is the obsession with the turrets? Genuinely think these are worst than the first order AT ST. my daughter is 3 and she plays with toys without the need for apps and tablets and that she’s happy to sit in a corner and just play. Are there genuinely kids that need this kind of stuff to enjoy? I really hope these go the way of the videyo theme. What even worse is they’ve ruined the minifigures. seriously though if you want kids to buy and play lego Star Wars make cheap affordable sets with desirable figures in. Kids don’t need gimmicks never have in 90+ years of lego existing Ewok attack and hoth snowspeeder apparently coming as smart sets
  21. I’ve kind of been off with the whole SW theme of late for ages I couldn’t really think why. But over Christmas had a proper chance to get all my collection out, all my figures and (very sadly) do like an audit see what I actually have and I think I’m near a point now where I’m happy with what I’ve got. I’ve been collecting since AOTC came out when I was a kid and I’m at a point now I’m only interested in things that haven’t been done before or something from new series/shows. Unless what’s coming out is imo an upgrade to what I already have I just don’t have any interest now. I don’t think it’s because of Disney/lucasfilm or even Lego themselves I think I’ve just got what I want. My wish list at this point is for things that seem unlikely to come out (and is not for this thread) but I just have so little desire for a lot of sets now because I already have them. like this years clone bp im only interested in half of it so probably going to look on eBay/bricklink for the half i want. I want the cob vanth set but apart from that i dont really care. The rumors for March again leave me with next to no interest as again I’ve got all those figures already. I’m looking forward to May, June and August as I’m hoping we gets some sets from Ahsoka and Mando film but outside of them I just meh. I thought I’d be sad about it but tbh I’m actually quite happy/proud of my collection. My daughter is 3 and she got her first Lego sets for Christmas and my aim now is to build a collection for her based on what she likes now for example the Mando and Grogu speeder is the kind of thing I’m hoping she might like one day so might pick one up and leave it in a loft for when she’s older. I fear for my wallets and sanity as I’ve fully have the castle/ modular itch so feel like I’m trading one expesnive habit for another
  22. I just saw a teaser video. People in the comments thought it was Lego dimensions 2 lmao what a way to disappoint the masses. Yeah I reckon we will know all of March wave tonight
  23. 2025 was the last time the battle droid was released randomly in July :)
  24. So March is good if you like the OT but bad if you hate the prices and smart bricks. bit weird having an a wing pilot in a throne room duel. But I’ve already got most of this I presume most long term collectors have some of this wave so for me it’s a whole load of money saved for May
  25. I SAY YOUR NAME FULLY ENDORSE THE PRODUCTION AND RELEASE OF A TIE AVENGER. WE MAKE THE BEST FIGHTERS IN THE WHOLE GALAXY
