Like all men: I am TIE Avengeance, I am the night, I am Batman! (#304) They were likely never this year anyway. If anything 75450 could end up being the Delta-7B as Lego seems to like releasing a Jedi Starfighter every year.

I agree. But minifigs aren’t too much of a hurdle as it could have a very similar situation to the X-Mansion and only really needs a 10 minifig roster at minimum. Reuses: Batman, Jonkler, Superman and Lex/ Rogue, Wolverine, Cyclops and Storm New: Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, Flash, Hawkgirl, Aquaman and one more villain or hero (probably someone well known like: Captain Cold, Sinestro, Mister Terrific or Green Arrow)/ Magneto, Professor X, Bishop, Gambit, Jean Grey and Iceman.

Upscaled Vader is almost certainly going to have a 40*** set number like the other upscaled minifigs. Because it’s assumably a Lego exclusive. So I feel like it’ll be the one that releases this year. According to Jediacpenguin/ Bricktap combined info: June 75458, $70, 775 pieces, please be a TIE Avenger. 75461, $100, 1028 pieces, 12+, almost definitely a Buildable Anzellan. July 75459, Imperial Shuttle, $140, 14+ Unconfirmed summer date (assumably August) 75451, $50, assumed to be Maul Shadow Lord 75453, $200, Sandcrawler 75454, $160, AT AT 75455, $170, Buildable Boba September/ Autumn 75456, $45, AC 75457, UCS SSD MIA numbers 75450 Well yes. But we knew of the 14+ July set number long before the we even heard about the X-Wing or it’s supposed June release. That’s true. Wow. Filoni’s actually not been doing a bad job of setting this up.

If Supergirl does well this year. I think that the DCU will have a 33% chance of taking the CMF slot away from Marvel if we get another Superheroes one in 2027. It’d be boring to do spider-verse again (33% chance) and while Marvel TV (33% chance) has had quite a lot recently much of it has either not been popular or R-Rated and I doubt they’d dedicate one to X-Men’97 as Doomsday sets will be bringing a lot of the characters anyway. The remaining 1% goes to Invincible./s

GUYS!! You want a TIE Avenger? Yes? If we buy Marvel Avenger sets then Lego will see we want a TIE Avenger? But I don’t want a TIE Avenger because Andor is WOKE. Day #303 of going insane over this (Today was strictly a parody.) Say that again. Filoni is probably going to replace the Dreadnoughts with Separatist ships that were lost since Anakin’s deactivation. But yeah. Something similar is probably happening. What’s definitely happening though, is Thrawn is obviously going to hijack some of those new NR capital ships. He just needs to find some mining drills. Tantiss was left abandoned by the end of TBB. And there was a whole other mountain which got ignored in the background.

Oh yeah. While I’m not expecting Andor level writing, I am very much looking forward to the spectacle this season will bring. Yeah. The NR X-Wing was honestly a great choice by Lego. It does double duty for tying in. But if we don’t get a NR Trooper vs Imperial Remnant BP within the next 12 months, then they are grossly mismanaging the BP subtheme. (The NR armour design in the concept art is sick) Also. On the lore side of things. I feel like Thrawn’s additional forces could depend on the status of 2 people. Gillad Pellaeon. We know he is definitely still around. The question is what size force does he currently control. I feel like he’s definitely in command of at least one full ISD (probably the Harbringer) My girl Karyn Faro. She depends on whether she left to take command of the 11th Fleet before the Purgill jumped Thrawn. I feel like an individual of her tactical capability should have been able to survive the war. Therefore, if Filoni acknowledges the books, she’ll likely be bringing whatever’s left of the 11th Fleet to the table. And has maybe even been developing more TIE Defenders since she’s seen their effectiveness first hand. As far as we know, Pellaeon and assumably the Harbringer is the only 7th Fleet ship that survived Lothal. There’s something really funny about an autistic military commander embracing chaos (you can’t convince me he’s not). And I say that as someone on the spectrum myself. I hope so too. But after the Turbo Tank I’m keeping my expectations low.

If only there was a cool and recently relevant TIE variant that has lots of screen time and loads of potential play features, as well as being the perfect candidate to be a £60 companion set to the U-Wing and X-Wing. Gee if only it existed (#302) Shuttle is also coming. But yeah the point still stands.

Oh my… I think I’ve found my lantern failsafe construct. On day #301 of the crusade. Boushh would have been a bit more problematic, but yeah. 5 years of helmet sets and we got scammed. Soooooo… is Rebuild The Galaxy going to have a 3rd season this year? We’re this close to a Mara Jade appearance. And perhaps a back door TIE Avenger set.

I don’t mind it. It beats using the Syril/ Praji/ Hawkeye (You know what, I’m just going to start calling this guy John Lego) again and again. And the only time it’s been inaccurate for officers has been the Death Star thus far. For stormtroopers: who cares. They have a helmet on anyway. Vader would not tolerate segregation in the workplace /s. Rebels: sure recent Hoth troopers have been inaccurate. But with fleet troopers it’s still better than getting the same face print again and again. Overall, it adds more variation to my Rebel Alliance and shows how all sorts of people are fighting together to overthrow the evil empire. Again it also beats using John Lego again. (The real problem is the lack of Rebel aliens) Oh. The empire are definitely the main villains throughout the movie. There are at least two empire planets that they’ll be visiting. The sandy one where Mando teams up with Zeb against stormtroopers. And the snow one where the AT AT ambush happens. I’m not even sure if the latter is the same planet as the Remnant Council’s base since the AT AT is supposed to be the cold open. And from the footage of the AT AT we’ve seen so far, the armoured commander is definitely not one of the Warlords on the council so why would Mando be going after that particular AT AT if the council, a more important target, was present at the same time? So my guess:

The Fall of Outpost 74: Operation Desert Rawka Sandtrooper: Sir. We have multiple signals converging at speed on our position. Base Commander: Prep the anti-fighter craft batteries. Put all fire teams on alert. We’ll show these rebel scum what’s what Sandtrooper: This isn’t a rebel air strike Sir. Base Commander: then who? The ground begins to shake and an echoing warcry heard is heard from the distance: UTINI!!! *Free Bird intensifies* These stun marks. Only Jawa scavengers are so precise. First the TIE Avenger and now this. Did Lego hire JJ Abrams? On the topic of mid directors: #RESTORETHETIEAVENGERVERSE [insert any separatist vehicle which isn’t a MTT] I hope the AT AT and Shuttle sketches leak next. I need to see the proportions. And if the latter is better than 2015.

You’re funny. If Lego wanted to do something interesting with Batman, they should do some Absolute stuff. Give me the Bat-Dump-Truck (which isn’t Dick Grayson in Absolute) Give me Absolute Horrors Beyond Human Comprehension (Ivy and Jonkler) Give me Absolute Cinema (Batman riding Killer Croc to fight kaiju Bane)

Welcome my friends. To the 299th day of TIE Avenger enlightenment. Jan Masaryk’s murderer revealed! (Cold War reference) Some things never change. Minifigs due to them being bulky with armour probably. Don’t put too much hope on the $100 set (75461). It has 1028 pieces and a 12+ age rating. Which suggests it will be a Buildable character. Likely an Anzellan. That leaves two more possible sets. 75458 has 775 pieces for $70 dollars (please be a TIE Avenger) 75451 is $50 One of them is likely the Maul Shadowlord set. And in the 1HY of next year I’m not sure if there’ll be space for more M&G sets. As Ahsoka S2 and Starfighter will both require 1HY set slots. And that’s not even factoring the inevitable 2nd wave of Smart Play. As the kids say: Chat. We might be cooked.

3 more minifigs have been revealed for the AC Captain America (please be WW2 Suit) Spider-man (please be iron spider) Holiday Iron Man (please don’t be a sweater and instead be a red and white suit of armour)

A few suggestions for surprise summer M&G sets: Interactive Dejarik (£24.99): Rotta the Hutt and Mando with a sword (builds are one of the arena creatures and Rotta’s axes) Imperial Remnant Battlepack (£19.99): Remnant Stormtrooper (Ammo pouch), Remnant Stormtrooper (Pauldron), Remnant Snowtrooper and Remnant AT RT driver (no stripe). Builds are either of: the speeder in the trailer, probe droid, small turret or a minifig scale AT RT. Hutt Starfighter (£34.99) (I assume): Embo, Martin Scorsese, and 2 Mercenary droids. 14+ MBS Remnant Shadow Council Funtime Hideout (£189.99): 3 Remnant Warlords (potentially including Pellaeon), 2 Remnant Snowtroopers, Remnant AT RT driver, off-road Mouse Droid, Mando and Grogu. Can connect with the AT RT Attack’s turret build. Me too mate.

Now we’re talking. That’s much better. It actually makes me feel hope for the movie. It appears we’re also getting a look at the Hutt military. So surely we’re getting one of those Hutt starfighters as a set? And an imperial remnant BP? And the Shadow Council base? And Rotta with some of the creatures. Though seeing Embo work alone and for villains somewhat upsets me. At the end of Aftermath he was teaming up with Dengar and Jas Emari to work some NR bounties (presumably Imperial Remnant hit jobs). So it’s a shame that partnership seems to have collapsed. Alright, due to demand from @Mandalorianknight to reach New TIE Avengers, the fact that Mara Jade debates with the blasphemous sponge can erupt at any time, and that same sponge has been logically quelling our hopes for more sets this year: Here’s the 3rd instalment in the LTACU: @BrickPrick, Nick Fury won’t be in future instalments so you’ve been upgraded to War Machine. @Llewop, you are Bucky since your minifig’s sigil is of a White Wolf.

Don’t worry my friend. You will need a fraction of the patience waiting for the poster than we need for the TIE Avenger. Which is currently on day #297. I want more. And I know I shouldn’t.

You have seen the AT RT right? And the Razor Crest to a slightly lesser extent? Just the AT AT and Shuttle reveals which i’m invested in now. But I am so hoping for there to still be 2-5 unknown set numbers for this year because: Shockingly, I want a TIE Avenger (#296) and/or Remnant Battlepack. It’d be a shame if Smart Play ment we lost a 1/3 of sets we could have gotten this year. Clone bros are going to throw a tantrum if they don’t get Wolfpack this year despite all the YouTubers saying it was likely. I also feel like there are some numbers we don’t know. As some of the 2026/7 list will supposedly release this year.

Boy. The Green Lantern mech releasing this June is going to look great alongside the TIE Avenger Lego’s definitely making.

It’s Valentine’s Day. But who needs a valentine when you have the glorious purpose of the TIE Avenger? Happy Varian’s TIE day everyone. (#295 of the TIE Avenger festivities) I swear. If a imperial remnant BP becomes like the TIE Avenger I’m gonna lose it. Or it was a clone that died? There’s no way someone would shave off such an elegant stache voluntarily. /s Climax of the movie, Unidentified Imperial Warlord is running from Mando to the hangar. When they reach the hangar, Ward is waiting at the foot of a shuttle’s boarding ramp holding up a blaster. Mando is suddenly trapped in a ray shield. Mando: “Ward, kill him or he’ll get away!” Ward: “I can't allow you to kill Unidentified Imperial Warlord. However, I am not completely unsympathetic to your sense of duty. You hurt Unidentified Imperial Warlord when you robbed that AT RT. You hurt his Remnant, his pride. Quite effectively. And if you were to hurt him in the same manner again, I would not stand in your way." Mando: “Why are you doing this?” Ward: “It's not in my interests for Unidentified Imperial Warlord to die... at this time. I decide what he deserves. No one else.” Ward proceeds to rip off her face and reveal that she was Gideon all along. Mando: “What? How? I killed you! But didn’t we…” Gideon nods Mando: “This is not the way!” There I predicted it.

It appears Lego’s trying to sneak an additional £5 on the AT RT when the 327th BP was £35. Good thing that I have 0 interest in supporting an overpriced set. Shame, the AT RT driver is quite cool. Maybe a size accurate £10 set would be cool. What’s interesting about the AT RT is that it’s ostensibly a more up to date version for the Empire. Not just some Clone Wars hardware brought out of retirement because of the remnant’s lack of resources. It’s got a double barrelled forward gun compared to the Republic single barrelled version. And also the rear appears to have exhaust pipes, a feature not present on the republic variant. I am so hoping that there’s some set numbers we don’t know about this summer and not just for the TIE Avenger (Day #294). Lego’s really dropping the ball by not putting an imperial remnant BP on shelves. I mean, look at what hasbro’s cooked up: A mix of 1-2 Regular Stormtroopers, Stormtrooper Commander, AT RT Driver and Remnant Snowtroopers would make such a good BP that’s representative of the whole film. Make the build a smaller AT RT and a probe droid or something.

Holy accidental Rogue One 10th Anniversary set Batman!! It’s a peak X-Wing (but overpriced). Gonna go well with my U-Wing. I’ll wait for Amazon sales but I feel like I might get two for my Rebel squadron. SW set of the year for me so far. The redemption from the Smart X-Wing is astounding. Let’s see how the Shuttle and AT AT and inevitable TIE Avenger will compare. Minifigs, aside from being £5 overpriced, is my one criticism. I feel like it should have included one more minifig, even if it was just a stormtrooper then the price could be more justified. I will defend Ward’s (is that her name? I thought it was Colonel Bishop?) inclusion because one of the first and few bts photos we saw was Sigourney Weaver in a flight suit by a X-Wing model. At least we got Carson Teva. Otherwise, solid build with a refreshing colour scheme. Me too buddy. Me too. Like I said, even just a random stormtrooper would have gone a long way. Once again, I’ll say how this is a great coincidental set for the Rogue One 10th Anniversary. My Merrick will finally have a blue squadron X-wing.

The NY toy fair isn’t until this weekend. So maybe they’re waiting for that. Hopefully. The guy who leaked the shuttle fig list seems to think the X-Wing is getting revealed with the others as well. A couple of hopes for the X-Wing: blue colours, Carson has a jacket print, acool imperial minifig or two (perhaps the film’ warlord) to fight and a Zeb reuse (unlikely) I’m pretty much the same as you. Though I’m looking forward to the X-Wing as well. I agree the constant reuses are annoying. Maybe the shuttle could have included someone other than Mando (Elia Kane), but I personally don’t find it as egregious as if it was Farmboy Luke as you can pretend your excess Mandos are their own sect. Completely agree. Lego’s just dropping the ball by not making an Imperial remnant battlepack with 2 stormtroopers and 2 other trooper variants (any of: scout trooper, grey tank driver, incinerator trooper.) it would satisfy both OT fans and Mando fans whilst keeping a Battlepack on shelves taht could work for future projects. The X-Wing and shuttle should be good. But what I really want is… TIE AVENGER!!! (#293, only a week until I have to harness the forbidden energy of the Snydercult)

First SW movie wave to not include a single named villain btw. What is this? Marvel?

Alright, let’s do this one last time…. My name is @CloneCommando99. I was bitten by a radioactive Andor, and for ten months I've not been the one and only TIE Avenger poster. I'm pretty sure you know the rest. I posted a bunch of memes, fell in love, complained about the theme, complained about the theme again... and again and again and again. And I, uh... I did this. [montage of the 2024 Mask of Turtle Aslume arc"] We don't really talk about this. Look, I'm a comic fan, I'm a Aslume inmate, did a Christmas album. I have parodied some excellent songs. And a so-so popsicle. I mean, I've looked worse. But after everything, I still love being a TIE Avenger poster. I mean, who wouldn't? So no matter how many hits I take, I always find a way to come back. Because the only thing standing between this theme and slop is TIE Avenger. There’s only one Lego TIE Avenger, and it hasn’t released yet. (Day #292) I feel like Mando’s inclusion is fair enough. I’m fine with the stormtroopers cause I always want more. But my ideal roster would have been: Elia Kane instead of Fennec, Koshka Reeves instead of Mando and then keep the two stormtroopers, Gideon and Pershing though maybe replacing one stormie with a shuttle pilot.

Will Michael Scott be a minifig? Marvel continues to have uniquely awful PPP it seems.
