  1. Oh wow we got some 2026 news from Max Baut. I am very underwhelmed. 75441: MIDI Venator 75436: Mando’s Speeder Bike (best thing on this list) 75448: Clone Shock Trooper mech 75449: Siege of Mandalore BP 75452: Buildable BB8 (most interesting thing on list tbh) This looks awful tbh. Not much for anyone but Mando and clone fans. Hopefully 75421 and 75423 get some news soon. Those are the only set numbers and prices which give me hope.
  2. The Mandalorian & Grogu is different from the big crossover movie. Think of it as a replacement for Season 4. The crossover movie (which may or may not be called Heir to the Empire) will probably not be until 2028 at the earliest.
  3. Interesting I’m guessing 75448 is either Mando or a Clone Trooper. I wonder if the 75449 BP is the 332nd BP or something far more interesting. And if the 332nd BP is later in the year or a different type of set entirely. Day #80 of demanding a Tie Avenger. A beautiful, succulent Tie Avenger. Shlup Gitto
  4. Day #79 of the Tie Avenger grind Reliable 2026 news, where art thou reliable 2026 news.
  5. Day #78 of Tie Avengering I hope so. They really made a Furry CMF before DC Series 2 didn’t they? It’s all fun and games until Captain Rex is revealed to be Carson Teva’s father.
  6. True insanity can never be killed. What is insane will never die.
  7. So if Lego’s going back to BoBF there’s still a chance for a Andor Tie Avenger? Day #77 of Tie Avenger lobbying Welcome to the rebellion. Trust me you made the right choice. It’s easily one of the best sets of the year.
  8. No. Day #76 of asking for Lego to make a Tie Avenger.
  9. Day #75 of asking Lego to make a Tie Avenger
  10. Day #74 of my uphill battle. CTT had more screen time than UT AT. Around 15 seconds I’d say compared to the UT AT’s 5 seconds. Also the CTT was the focus of two of those 5 second shots instead of just being in the background like the UT AT, it also has the added bonus of not looking like the already on shelves AT TE in any way. Market-wise Lego made the right choice. But still managed to execute (order 66) it abysmally. It’s too late. All we can do is pray for a better 2026.
  11. There’s also the fact he’s putting on a green flight suit. Which is probably the flight suit colour most associated with A-Wings. I liked Ahsoka. Believe me, it’s no Andor. But I’d argue it’s as good as Mando S1. It’s got hype moments, aura and by far the best Disney force sensitive villain in Baylan. I do think that a lot of my enjoyment when it first came out was purely by the relief it was better than its predecessor Mando S3. Which was a low bar tbh S2 will likely also have hype moments and aura. Purely because my goat Gillad Pellaeon will probably be in it. And Tie Defenders will make a return. Heck, maybe Thrawn will even see the benefits of reviving the Tie Avenger program. The more I see of the summer wave… the more I’m convinced that the U-Wing is the best play-set of the year. 4 great minifigures, stability, a relatively fair price and better proportions than the 2016 model. I do agree with others that it does lack some of the playability required for a troop transport. But the 2016 one wasn’t that great either. You could barely place troops in the 2016 troop bay. Edit: Damn. Lego really managed to megabluck up the printing on a perfect helmet and make it look bad. (Clone Pilot)
  12. He’s seen putting on a flight suit in a under attack A-Wing hangar in concept art. Late I know. But let’s commemorate the 4th of July Dear Lego: You say The price of a Tie Avenger is not a price that you're willing to pay You cry In your ABS, which you hurl on the shelves when you see me go by Why is this wave so bad? Remember, we made an arrangement when you went insane Now, you're making me mad Remember, despite our estrangement, I'm your man You’ll make a Tie Avenger, soon, you'll see You'll remember you belong to me You'll do a Tie Avenger, time will tell You'll remember that I served you well Prices rise, in house themes fall We have seen each other through it all And when push comes to shove I will send a fully armed battalion to remind you of Tie Avenger! Da-da-da, dat-da, dat, da-da-da, da-ya-da Da-da, dat, dat, da-ya-da Da-da-da, dat-da, dat, da-da-da, da-ya-da Da-da, dat, dat, da-ya You say a Tie Avenger is draining, and you can't go on You'll be the one complainin' when I am gone And no, don't change the subject 'Cause you're my favorite subject My sweet, submissive subject My loyal, plastic subject Forever and ever and ever and ever and ever You'll make what I want, like before I will fight the fight and win the war For Tie Avenger, for your praise (of Andor) And I'll love Tie Avenger 'til my dying days When my hope’s gone, I'll go mad So don't throw away this thing we had 'Cause when push comes to shove I will disassemble your Friends and City to remind you to make Tie Avenger Da-da-da, dat-da, dat, da-da-da, da-ya-da Da-da, dat, dat, da-ya-da Da-da-da, dat-da, dat, da-da-da, da-ya-da Da-da, dat- everybody! Da-da-da, dat-da, dat, da-da-da, da-ya-da Da-da, dat, dat, da-ya-da Da-da-da, dat-da, dat, da-da-da, da-ya-da Da-da-da, dat, da-ya-da-ah Day #72 of glorious Tie Avenger revolution (i’m concerned that i’m resorting to musicals like Hamilton)
  13. He was talking about: Still pretty dark humour. But I like it. Dark humour is like new Lego sets. Not everyone can get it. British people constantly slander the French for being CESMs and no one bats an eye. British people in turn are made fun of their dark history of colonisation and god awful PMs. Russia similarly for the failures of communism and other stuff. Germany for… yeah we’re not going to go down that rabbit hole. And America… A bit of banter/ dark humour about countries is nothing new. Can’t wait to see Space Moses’ flying Aquaman logo for Ahsoka S2. #JusticeForBactaMound It’s just awful. I kinda hope that Lego actually loses money this wave. It’s the only way they’ll learn. MandRproductions and his ilk are the monster that screams the loudest. The monster we helped create (by buying 501st BP MkI) The monster who will come for all our playsets soon enough.
  14. Huzzah. They look great. And Damian doesn’t look look like a Dick.
  15. I’ve seen theories that the price increases may be a result of increased licensing costs charged by Disney to recuperate costs from recent financial failures such as Acolyte, Outlaws and Skeleton Crew. It could also be the fact that Lego’s been as of yet unable to ‘find’ a substitute for petrol to make bricks. At the beginning of the decade, petrol was estimated to run out by 2052, however since then 2 large scale wars, each involving a oil superpower, have broken out, almost certainly bringing the deadline forward (and making it harder to acquire petrol as well.) Without petrol, Lego can’t produce their staple ABS bricks, without bricks they can’t produce sets, without sets they lose all profits and go bankrupt. This could just be Lego squeezing as much money as possible by the time of their ‘currently’ unavoidable demise by 2045-7. (And I think it’s possible the reason why they ‘haven’t found’ a renewable substitute yet is because it’d eventually become cheaper than petrol and they know they’d have to lower prices if they did.) I however, believe this is more just due to greed rather than a logical reason. As soon as Lonni gets to the bench. The only question we need to answer is how tight to close our fist. (Though the “MuH eXClUsIvE FiGurE” guys won’t be happy since Yularen’s torso got leaked.) Day #71 of asking for Lego Colonel Yularen to fund a Tie Avenger program.
  16. Day #70 of Tie Avenger asking Reliable January 2026 news will hopefully be upon us within a fortnight.
  17. “Fellow Eurobrickians, friends, colleagues, allies, adversaries. I stand before you this morning with a heavy heart. I’ve spent 1.5 years in this chamber. I came here as a clone fan . And as I look around now, I realise I have almost no memories that pre-date my arrival and few bonds of affection that cleave so tightly. Through these couple of years, I believe I have served my community honourably and upheld our code of conduct. This chamber is a cauldron of opinions and we’ve certainly all had our patience and tempers tested in pursuit of our ideals. Disagree as we might, I am hopeful that those of you who know me will vouch for my credibility in the days to come. I stand this morning with a difficult message. I believe we are in crisis. The distance between what is said and what is known to be fairly priced has become an abyss. Of all the things at risk, the loss of an objective affordability is perhaps the most dangerous. The death of affordable pricing is the ultimate victory of evil. When affordable pricing leaves us, when we let it slip away, when it is ripped from our hands, we become vulnerable to the appetite of whatever monster screams the loudest. Lego.com’s hold on the affordable pricing was finally lost in the 2025 August Wave. What took place yesterday… what happened yesterday on Lego.com was unprovoked price gouging! Yes! Price gouging! And affordable pricing has been exiled from this theme! And the monster screaming the loudest? The monster we’ve helped create? The monster who will come for us all soon enough is Clone Bros!” (Day #69 of campaigning for a Tie Avenger and a better tomorrow for the theme) Welcome to eurobricks. Oh we’ve been dunking on the price ever since it was first rumoured and before the price increases. (Even if Lego decided to do this under the cover of tariffs in the US, it logically should still not be that high even in the US, more so in the UK and EU since they aren’t the ones placing tariffs) Well said. We just cannot let Lego think that this is ok pricing. It’s literally the same box size as 75372. I won’t be buying a single set this wave either since: A) none of them interest me, B) No Tie Avenger, C) prices are atrocious, D) too many buildable characters and E) too many clone sets. My fellow Eurobrickians! If you must get a 327th BP, please just wait for it to go on sale and don’t get it full price. We should all overpower FOMO this time and teach Lego a lesson. I’m glad that r/legostarwars is calling for a boycott. But many within its ranks are actively replying they’ll still buy multiple day #1. And then there’s the Clone Bros… We must do whatever we can (sit tight and do literally nothing) to limit the sales of the summer sets, only then will we improve the theme’s balancing and pricing. Yeah, and we don’t want to lessen our chances of a Tie Avenger in January. ($70 set I beg) KALKITE! SYNTHETIC KALKITE! KALKITE ALTERNATIVES! KALKITE SUBSTITUTES!
  18. Sadly no Tie Avenger announcement yet. I’ll keep asking (Day #68) The sets and figs look better than expected! Just outrageously overpriced. Good thing I wasn’t planning on buying any. Hopefully they don’t release M&G sets in the January wave. Rather wait until May to directly Tie in with the movie.
  19. If I was a hopeful man: 75421: Tie Avenger (DAY #67!!!) 75423: ISB Tactical Shuttle 75436: IDK. It’s been so long since a $10 set that I don’t know what to do anymore. 75437: Mando vs 327th Super BP (I won’t buy it, but at least it’d fit a proper speeder and not waste the BP slot) 75440: MIDI Scale Venator (as per Jedi Bricks) 75441: Vader Bust (as per Jedi Bricks) 75443: Cobb Vanth and Mando speeder Funtime 75448: Krennic Shuttle Microfighter 75449: Imperial Army BP 75452: IDK what i’d like but I can practically smell it being a buildable character 30727: Razor Crest polybag. Instead I’m expecting TCW sets galore. IKR. It’s perfect. But I wouldn’t be surprised if a clone set Cuckoo birdied it. Not in this day and age. Not when there’s also a $15 set..
  20. He noot nooted something he wasn’t supposed to noot noot. The entire DC theme is a double edged sword. Whenever we draw it and get hope, we immediately stab ourselves with that hope. (A la Superman mech)
