Is this Mando film instead of a series 4 or are we going to get a series 4 and then a film? wonder if they’ll go back to doing a film wave and what kind of sets they’ll do. Again with Ahsoka is this going to be before or after Filonis film?

I cant see how else they would do this set it’s either two speeders and it’s a chase or it’s one speeder and the two clones have some sort of defensive turret or build. I can’t think how else this set would appear without more pieces or figures

I’ve been lucky in 20 years of collecting Lego that I’ve only ever had two issues one was from the stormtrooper magazine last year as they didn’t have a head (which isn’t the biggest thing in the world) and then this with the plain trooper. Do they just give you a replacement helmet or the whole bag that it came in? Also do misprints still have a ridiculously high value to certain collectors? im hoping with the boarding set that they will give the fleet troopers different heads following from what Lego have been doing recently and mixing up like in the hoth pack, it kind of annoys me that all the fleet troopers have had just the same head and look like a clone army when put together 😂. with the Grogu escape has it been confirmed or not confirmed if there is an anniversary figure coming with it? As at this point that might be the sets only saving point

So I’ve opened my new battle pack and first clone I put together has a misprint on the helmet. First time I’ve come across it, kind of hilarious he just looks really sad.

I played it safe and ordered a couple off Amazon this morning. In the U.K. Argos had some at 6 am and then I checked at 8am and they’d all gone already. Past couple of years when the January sets come out I always get them either off Amazon or Lego online as they almost certainly have them. There’s pictures out for some March sets like Disney/Harry Potter so we should be getting pictures of any Star Wars coming out then soon. Off the top of my head there are 4-5 coming in March?

The only brickheadz I’ve ever got was the wedding one (bride and groom) as that was something my wife liked and thought would be good at our wedding every other one just not in to I’d rather get minifigures than brickheadz seems like Lego trying to cash in on the funko pop craze

You can argue the Podracing diorama and the Droideka will probably be linked to TPM anniversary. I would say R2 as well but then that has one of the anniversary figures in. a naboo royal guards battle pack would be perfect for such an occasion. I doubt we’d get an N1 as we still have mandos on the shelves so the chances of another ship from That film coming does increase imo. Without going in to to much speculating they do have two choices remake (gungun sub, sith infiltrator, republic ship) or do something never done (royal starship) for me either option is good

Forgive my lack of knowledge but are shock troopers and the coruscant guard the same thing? Is like one the official title and then what they are more commonly known as? Or is it there are only so many colours you can paint on clone troopers eventually you’ll get two that are the same?

This guessing is getting annoying, at least with Renown’s clues it relevant and they confirm if we are on the right track with this we are all just guessing the same names page after page and we’re no closer to knowing if anyone is right or if anyone is wrong

Yeah no I got that I didn’t mean to say it was just that we’ve got one coming this year and also that speeder is kind of like the one from the first battle pack

I respect your opinion but I feel like maybe you had too much hope. Battle packs builds are never lore accurate, and this was always sounding like a homage to the first two battle packs. Tbf we are getting a BARC speeder this year aren’t we in the Grogu escape? Clones are popular but I do think that the lack of leadership issue you could probably get around like last years 501st pack were the officer is literally normal trooper with an attachment in the helmet. Maybe also those officers and specialist should be making more appearances in mid range sets. Also for those who have the gunship can get a couplE more shock troopers to bulk it out and it’s the first time we’ve had a plain clone trooper in a set since the micro fighter. I wouldn’t really swap either of those figures for an officer or leader figure I do agree the CIS do need more specialist sets which focuses on the magma guards, tactical droids , droidekas basically anything that ain’t a B1. I think we’ll get the B2s in a few sets over the next few years to make the most of the mold they would’ve made for production.

Bail Organa? Although he isn’t controversial was going to say Omega but then she hasn’t been live action Owen Lars again is he controversial. although what is considered to be controversial in this day and age?

Well both time weve had a clone trooper appear in the magazine it’s been the following year after the set they was in was released so could be a pattern or it’s just happened twice out of coincidence. But my money is on a shock trooper but I’d love the purple one to appear as well.

I think last year we had 212th clone, scout trooper and stormtrooper as the only generic troopers if memory serves me right rest was named characters. Tbh I think the final battle scene in Mando S3 had more originally and was cut. The commander figure did get a few lines and more air time than most

Is he also supposed to be coming in the battle pack in June? I wonder what figures will be in next years magazines? I suspect we’ll get one of the clones from one of this years battle packs. Would love to see a purple clone in one of them though

Only thing we can expect are the official pictures for the January sets. Which if memory serves they were very late with last year. I doubt we will hear anymore on the March sets until January and then the May/June ones will be a while. Last year we got the summer wave news on April fools. I don’t think many pictures for anything 2024 has come out yet with the exception of the new animal crossing theme (but someone can correct me if I’m wrong)

I do hope there is a new castle inspired GWP - like another remake of a classic set. There was a rumoured list of the GWPs for the first few months of next year released a while back and I don’t think any of them were castle themed. If this set is coming earlyish next year I think we would have some kind of rumour on what we could get by now. when do you think we would like to hear any more news/ maybe get some images for this?

Is this a US only set? Is this set going to be in the U.K. at all?

Silly question coming - I like the set can you just get the GWP and buy it outright or do you have to spend the minimum to get it? only on the Lego website it is listed as £25.99 but it also says gift with purchase

I’d be disappointed if it is a 501st trooper\troopers. I would prefer shock troopers maybe we can all compromise and have one 501st trooper and 1 shock trooper . or to be even more delusional and cover all bases one plain trooper, one 501st and one shock trooper.

I wonder if they are just trying to stick to two battle packs a year. Given we’ve got one in January and this in June maybe they didn’t want to do too many battlepacks in one go. Especially as next year we will still have the 2 clone packs on the shelves still. In a perfect world you would have one Mandolorian and one imperial. is it true the battle pack links to the bunker set as well if so it could lend itself to being able to buy a couple to make a larger kind of battle build

i don’t believe the Z95 rumour. I do wonder if somehow someone has gotten confused with the Z95 rumour because before the January battle pack got confirmed someone said that the battle pack build was going to be a Z95/ARC130. For $40 would we really get a star fighter and multiple clones? I appreciate the leaks but I feel they are quite early to be getting summer ones already

So we now also know one is the Mandolorian battle pack, but used to be January but info suggests June? so am I right in that we don’t know what 75388 and 75389 are

So are these the sets that we just knew the set numbers of or are these new sets and we still have some sets still to leak for the first half of the year? (imo it was a lot easier when we had a January wave and a June wave back in the day)

I thought there was more? Isn’t there still 3 or 4 sets we know nothing about set to release before the summer. Looked on the 2024 thread and looks like there were a couple of set numbers with no info or dates on
