Old Master

If true, I think this is getting the $500 tag, for sure. Likely will also be classified as an MBS.

ALSO, I know it's April 1st, but there is a pretty legit looking Commander Cody Brickhead in the usual spot and if I recall correctly, that was a set that was rumored for this year...

Ok, haven't seen many people talking about the D2C for fall. Pretty much all but confirmed it's Jabba's Sail Barge. Especially if that Desert Skiff rumor is true, it really lends itself to the Jabba rumor. Are we thinking that it's possibly a Master Builder Series set? My guess is 3900ish pieces is probably gonna land at $500 USD I guess it also depends on how many minifigs they wanna throw in this.

At the moment, Saw is my favorite anniversary figure. Will probably be $30-40 for a while but can see him settling down in the $20 range after the hype has died a bit - my guess. Also, last week of April is probably reasonable for UCS Tie pics right?

Idk about that logic, plenty of ships have been out with their micro fighter companions. Rex's Y-Wing kind of speaks for itself if you ask me, especially since it would presumably come with at least 2-3 more figures than a micro. Also, Brick Clicker addressing the BS reddit post earlier doubling down on the legitimacy of the Dark Falcon and Jedi Bob's Starfighter.

This would seriously have potential to be the greatest wave of sets ever.

So this leaves the UCS Tie and accompanying promotions to be the last thing to visually leak for May 1 right?

Oh wow, that would maybe be great. I think the second minifigure (if there even is one) is what's going to sell me on this set. $240 for just one minifigure ain't it. Printed cape as in detail printed on the cape like the ones from Solo or a cape printed on to the figure?

Has there been anything on minifigures for the UCS Tie? I'd assume we will get a near identical pilot to the one from 75095 but a droid maybe?

From the quick glance, Saw looks cool. That's all I will say for this set lol.

I hope this isn't the last diorama... so many great scenes to still be made. I love the medium.

Lol, this is only gonna fire people up more about the "exclusivity," or lack thereof, of this Rex figure if it is the exact same.

Having the recent Red and Gold leader figs in hand in addition to having the pilot from the 75162 microfighter, it's really a shame Luke's pilot helmet doesn't get the side printing these others do - especially considering how similar the microfighter pilot's helmet is! Hopefully that's fixed in the upcoming mech this summer... Which btw, do you think since the Captain Rex is supposed to be 1:1 from the Venator for that micofighter, the Luke mech will feature the UCS version? I don't think the chance is 0 given that it's the only current Red Five Luke in production

I agree the Falcon is probably the best designed one in addition to having the least stickers/new printed elements. It's a shame the quality falls off for the Tantive and even more so for the Invisible Hand as the price lowers. Also just saw there is set number 30685 poised for May 1. Seems as if it's a polybag, do we know what of?

Unfortunately, it's rumored for $110... so they reeeeallllly need to drive a unique value proposition considering the recently retired X-Wing and Tie Fighter were $50 and $45 respectively. I suppose we could get bigger models or more minifigures to justify that but maybe it just falls in line with all the other two ship sets being $110 and we're getting jacked.

Yeah, a bit of an awkward sore thumb in my collection of Red Squadron. Personally wish they continued with the dual molded helmets, but fixed the faces since they didn't have the chin straps.

Biggs and Porkins would be great since their older versions are a bit dated at this point

Right? The contrast of the black and sand blue, as you can see on the BB Attack Shuttle, looks really great and is much more accurate to the on screen Ties

Hopping on here to just express what many of you have already said - the Ornithopter is incredible, Dune 2 was breathtaking, and WE WANT MORE DUNE LEGO!!!!!! If I had to take a wild guess, I'd say the Ornithopter is flying off shelves everywhere. The hype for Dune is just too real atm and the value of the set is really tremendous. Lego could certainly see this and extend Dune into it's own theme in the future, hopefully sooner rather than in correspondence of the release of Messiah in god knows how long. Certainly biased as a minifigure collector, but a Dune CMF would be great in part because I just don't know how many other sets you can get out of these two films. I would really love Maud'Dib version of Paul, Stilgar, Feyd Rautha, Rabban, Emperor, and Princess Irulan figures still! Also, put Paul's head on Kynes's body. I think he looks much cooler like this As for a Maud'Dib purist upgrade, this head, though pricey, would look fantastic

The usual place So if the pilot for the X-Wing is not Luke, Lego has still officially never made Red 4, 8, or 9, though 4 and 9s helmets exist through the Sandspeeder and T-16 pilot.

(Almost) everything in 2024 is spoken for, so not this year. I can't see them cranking out additional Ahsoka Season 1 sets beyond what they've done and are doing this summer. Maybe a chance when S2 rolls around?

Also, a new tie variant would be sick. Would love for it to be Vader's Advanced, but i think the set name would have revealed that...maybe...

X-Wing vs Tie Fighter set - any word on who the rebel pilot(s) will be? Safe to assume Luke? Would certainly hope that for $110 we get two sets of pilots and droids for the X. Could be a nice chance to get some of the red squadron guys Lego has never made! A redo of modern Biggs is certainly warranted given they ditched the dual molded helmets and he's quite uncollectible with that helmet... (not that it's bad, I actually like it and think its the most accurate depiction of the helmets, but because they only made it for him)

Likely cease and desists were sent out. Have we even seen FF on here?

Ok so I guess this thread is really going along with the loose mention of "buildable creature" then. A bit hard for me to imagine they're taking that route given the flop that is 75371 Chewbacca
