Old Master

Beginning of the next week is my guess for the official reveal. Hopefully Ahsoka leaks start picking up, that's the totality of my interest in this year's line at this point (aside from Venator)

Fox figure has leaked. Not too bad imo. This was a fig that would've greatly benefited from arm prints, but I never expected that. Torso print in addition to being wrong, looks pink where the white is printed. Woof.

Ah, so give or take -100 from the 2013. It definitely shows.

Does anyone remember how many pieces this new one is?

With this leak, I'd guess that official photos maybe even a pre-order will be available within the week. The box art looks wack, but the play feature pictures look much better.

Yeah, i need to see official photos of this to make a decision. Can't quite tell if it's all dark red or if theres some regular red. Size is one thing I can't quite grasp right now. The box image looks small but the action shots make it look a bit bigger. At the minimum, I am BLing the Palpy fig.

Word going around that the T-6 is getting a $10 bump from 70 to 80. Kinda sucks, but will have to see this set to believe it.

Aw man how could I overlook these. I have wanted Force Ghost figures ever since The Complete Saga came out! Great idea with Jabba too, a MBS style of his palace could give us some of the coolest minifigs of all time.

Wow, next year has some great potential on that idea! But yea, this book doesnt come out until next April 🤣

People are saying the silhouette on the Harry Potter book was misleading so idk.

I never even thought of that! Hopefully in the coming years we see Prequel sets break beyond their traditional models and feature some niched, more fleshed out scenes/ships/concepts. It seems just about every corner of the OT has been covered with even the most obscure characters covered in sets, it's time for the Prequels to get that treatment.

Above all else with Palpatine, I have been dying for a plain, Pre-Emperor Darth Sidious minifigure. Printed shadow on his face or a new hood piece to convey the shadows he hides in. I personally missed out on Palpatine's Arrest, as I'm sure many else did, so I am hype for his classic red outfit.

We aren't totally blind on them. There are leaked pics of Hera, Morgan Elsbeth, Commander Fox, as well as Chancellor Palpatine. I'd imagine we might see some set pictures within a few weeks to a month. For clarity: there is no official leak of the Palpatine figure, but promobricks has confirmed it is the exact same one from the mobile game

I totally see a UCS Ghost being in the cards some day, there are just currently way too many outstanding "bank breaking" sets, especially in the SW category. It's a bit overwhelming to me to have 8 sets on shelves right now over $200, especially with the Venator on the way and none of those sets retiring...

I would certainly hope with the 400 piece buff. Just watched a review of the 2014 Ghost and I never realized how mildly underwhelming that set actually is.

Does anyone think we could see some cool micro builds with the UCS Venator like how there was a Tantive IV with the ISD? I personally think Anakin and Obi Wan's Starfighters would be so cool

I have the 2013 Gunship and ATTE. I did not buy the ATTE last summer nor would I plan to buy another standard Gunship. Selling a variant however has garnered my interest in addition to the gunship hungry people that will buy it already. It's great marketing by Lego. This set was just so poorly done on the contrary. I don't know why they rushed to reveal it and then waited til August for it to come out all the while missing out on some key features. I get the concept art thing, but if it was coming out in August to begin with, why not just take the time to make it more accurate to the show. I would have certainly considered buying it if it came with the Grievous guy and the trap Din was in.

This set had the opportunity to do what Obi Wan's fighter did last year in giving us the third figure that was completely new and incentivize people to buy an otherwise lame ship. People would be significantly more hype to buy this set if it had Darth Bane or one of the Force Priestesses from that arc and give reason for people who have the 2017? version to go out and buy it again. Major missed chance.

Totally forgot how sweet that Bo figure is from the Spider Tank. Will be BLing that instantly.

Yeah it totally sucks - you can thank Meta for that. I follow #legoleaks and it's just full of MOCs and clickbait with a legitimate leak coming through once in a blue moon anymore

For the Ghost, I think the figs thought to be Quarrie as well as the dark skinned male could very well be the people at 1:10 in this trailer.

Hera figure looks AMAZING!

Shock Trooper is not real. Nonetheless, probably pretty darn close to what we will get.

Yes, we get the Ahsoka sets as well as the Gunship in September. We already have minifig leaks from a few (Hera, Fox, Morgan Elsbeth) but full on set pics should be mid-late July. Anything sooner is a gift tho! Have been watching a lot of early CW recently and I gotta say I'm stoked for this UCS Venator. Might have to go ahead and make it my biggest Lego purchase to date. I think a modernized and live action style P1 Rex would've been a way cooler option, but i get that people are aching for a new P2 one.

It sure does.
