Day #73 of Tie Avenger pleading

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)

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.

Huzzah. They look great. And Damian doesn’t look look like a Dick.

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.

Day #70 of Tie Avenger asking Reliable January 2026 news will hopefully be upon us within a fortnight.

“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!

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.

Luigi’s pizzeria?

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..

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)

I honestly don’t know what Lego’s capable of doing here anymore. As for Tie Avenger campaign: Fun fact, the real reason why the Jedi turned a blind eye to Order 66 coming was not because the Dark side was preventing them from foreseeing it, but because they understood that it was a necessary evil to create the badass ship that is the Tie Avenger. No Order 66 = no galactic empire, no galactic empire = no Tie Fighter contract for Sienar Fleet systems, no Sienar Tie Fighter production = no Tie Avenger. The Jedi were actually heroes and sacrificed themselves because they understood that the events of Andor would happen because of it. (They, along with Palpatine who actually did it, are true connoisseurs of peak fiction alongside The Maker and Darkseid) That’s very concerning. I hope for a course correction next year im the form of a ITT and Tie Avenger.

In other news: apparently Robin is Damian and he will have this suit: Let me ask you this my fellow inmates? Why would Lego purposefully deviate from the iconic red and green outfit? To create differentiation from another upcoming minifigure? Tim incoming? (Yes, this is copium)

Day #65 of Tie Avenger begging. (megabluck. There’s only really one thing I can with the tie avenger campaign tomorrow. Something something.. condemned to us the tools of my enemy in order to defeat them… something something.) Lando is as much a main character in RoTJ as Palpatine. I mean, whenever the film cut to the space battle it was mostly Lando’s POV. This is like saying it’d be fine for only old man or stormtrooper disguise Luke to be on shelves instead of his more iconic Pilot, Jedi or farmboy appearances Or Rako Hardeen instead of mainline Obi-Wan.

Great ideas. SW 2027 50th Anniversary ideas Right, so I know that before Lego’s never done something all that big for a SW anniversary bar the LSW anniversaries themselves, but I have a feeling that half a century is a pretty significant thing to commemorate. I’d also like to consider this a celebration of the franchise’s history rather then than just ANH. So here are my propositions: Sets for all widely well received media, a play-set and 18+ set for each main movie with one of either for the rest. (OT, PT, TCW, RO, TBB, Andor, Mando, Rebels…) 6 special 50th Anniversary Mcquarrie concept art figures in the main movie play-sets A 50th anniversary Ideas contest in 2026 Videogame CMF (see my previous posts) Exclusive George Lucas minifigure snuck in somewhere, perhaps even in the style of the chrome Vader. Bear in mind this list is excluding Starfighter as we know next to nothing except for literally me playing the main character. So without much further ado let’s get into it. Half of these are what I think would work well/ likely with current state of the theme, and the other half are things I’d like. OT ANH Millennium Falcon: Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Princess Leia, R2D2, C3P0, Chewbacca and Mcquarrie Concept Art Vader as 50th Anniversary figure. ANH UCS Vader’s Tie Remake: Darth Vader and Grand Moff Tarkin ESB Red 5 X-Wing/ escape from Hoth: Luke Skywalker, R2 D2, Wedge Antilles, Yoda and Mcquarrie Concept Art Chewbacca as 50th Anniversary Figure ESB Executor Bridge Diorama: Captain Piett, Admiral Ozzel, 3-4 Crewmen and Darth Vader/ Vader, Piett and the Bounty Hunters. ROTJ Endor Bunker play-set: Han Solo, Princess Leia, Chewbacca, Wicket, Imperial Officer, Death Star Trooper, Scout Trooper, 2 stormtroopers and Mcquarrie Concept Art Luke Skywalker as 50th Anniversary Figure. (Accompanying AT ST releases in 2028) ROTJ UCS Shuttle Tydirium: General Lando Calarissian, Han Solo, Princess Leia, Captain Rex, Chewbacca, Luke Skywalker and C3P0. PT TPM midiscale Radiant VII: George Lucas minifig included (slightly larger than all other midi scales with a editing studio interior built into the hull for George) TPM Escape from Theed: Qui Gon Jinn, Handmaiden Padme, Jar Jar, Obi-Wan Kenobi, 2 security Battledroid, Droid Commander and Mcquarrie concept art stormtrooper as 50th Anniversary figure. (Builds are a AAT and the bridge JJ, OWK and QGJ jump down from) AoTC Bounty Hunter pursuit play-set: Obi Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, Zam Wessel and Mcquarrie Concept Art C3P0 as 50th anniversary figure AoTC Buildable B2 Battledroid RoTS Battle of Kashyyyk: Yoda, Tarful, Wookie Warrior, Commander Gree, 41st Scout Droid Pilot, 2 B2s and Mcquarrie Concept Art Han Solo as 50th Anniversary figure (Builds are a small Wookie Catamaran, Vulture Droid, Dwarf Spider and small AT RT) RoTS Palpatine’s Arrest diorama: Mace Windu, Anakin Skywalker, Chancellor Palpatine, and the other Jedi involved. Animation TCW Republic Attack Shuttle: Anakin Skywalker, Ahsoka Tano, Count Dooku, Captain Rex, Clone Pilot and Denal. TBB Hunter’s helmet Rebels Tie Defender: Ezra Bridger, Sabine Wren, Grand Admiral Thrawn and Vult Skerris (not a Tie Avenger as that should be in 2026) Tales Brickheadz: Barriss Offee, Dooku, Morgan Elsbeth, Assajj Ventress and Cad Bane Other Content Andor Fondor Haulcraft Microfighter: Luthen Rael (Antique dealer) Mando S1 ITT: Incinerator Trooper, Stormtrooper Commander, 2 Stormtroopers and Mando. Mando S2/ RO/ Andor Imperial Battlepack: 2 Shore Troopers and 2 Stormtroopers (this is a three way pooled set so it can be additional) RO 12+ Zeta Class Shuttle: Cassian Andor, Jyn Erso, Bodhi Rook, K2S0, Baze Malbus, Chirrut Imwe and Director Orson Krennic (Milano scale) Ahsoka midi-scale Chimera (Ahsoka S2 sets will likely still be on shelves) Legends Z-95: Mara Jade, Jacen Solo and Jaina Solo That’s 22 sets + CMF and Ideas set, still leaving 3-4 set slots for Starfighter. I’d love to hear you guys’ thoughts on whether I cooked and this is a good idea for how 2027 should play out.

The 2026 GL and Bane vs Batwing mechs will save us 🙏🙏🙏

Day #64 Are we in the Eadu, Jedha or Ring of Kafrene stage of that leak process? You just know they’ve already considered it though.

Preferably DC CMF S2. But I’d settle for detailed versions of the characters who built this theme.

Day #63 of Tie Avengering We’ll probably have pics by Tuesday one way or another. I’m more interested in us getting 2026 set news from a more reliable source than JediBricks. And what the Cobb Vanth/ boba set actually is.

2027 is also when Starfighter is supposed to release. So the question is how many set slots will be actually available for 50th Anniversary play-sets if the current trend of 18+ and Buildables continues. I concur. At least a set based off each PT and OT movie would be good. And maybe even some space for the more well liked of post 2010 content (TCW, Rebels, Rogue One, Andor, Battlefront, Mando, maybe even a Jedi set since the 3rd game will likely release that year.) We need people to draw the line somewhere. Otherwise Lego will continue to raise prices like this since they don’t think there will be consequences. I sure hope those who are planning to army build 327th are at least patient and wait for them to go on sale.

Buzz Lightyear to Eurobricks Command. Come in, Eurobricks Command. Eurobricks Command, come in. Do you read me? Why don't they answer? My Tie Avenger! Blast! This will take months to release. Buzz Lightyear mission log, star date 4-0-7-2. My Tie Avenger has run off course en route to summer 2025. (Day #62 of asking Lego for a Tie Avenger in 2026) Maybe Lego will treat us and add Ralph McQuarrie’s concept art of characters as anniversary figures. Or better yet, they do a D&D 50th and make a fan competition Ideas set and CMF. (Video games or Books are ripe for a CMF) However, there would preferably be some rules regarding the ideas competition having to be something not as well covered before by Lego since otherwise there would be a lot of clone wars brigading instead of us getting something truly unique as a celebration of 50 years of SW.

“Joy will not announce its arrival”- Perrin Fertha But I can sure as mustafar ask for it. (Day #61 of lobbying for a Tie Avenger like Perrin for a party) Ah yes. One of the more needed imperial vehicles due to it being in both Mando and Kenobi. Right up there with: Tie Avenger, Tie Reaper, Tie Defender remake, ISB Tactical Shuttle, Zeta Class Shuttle, ITT, AT ACT, AT DP remake, and a patrol gunship. Though I’d argue the ITT is more in dire need of a set than the assault lander just by pure screen time. I’m pretty sure empire’s got a larger backlog of undone vehicles than clones at this point. I personally am expecting: Urban, imperial, Christmas, clone trooper and gold variants before the next normal variant as well.

Lego has decided to bless us with 2 Officer Balls 🥰

Excellent (day #60) As a DC fan I know this better than most. I just want a win man. *huffs rhydo* Are you sure? You had us in the first half… Bingo. Lol. Forgive me. But from what I understand the Writers’ biggest problem for season 7 and 8 was that they’d run out of books to use as source material? The Boba/ Cobb Vanth helmet is an intriguing development. Either Lego’s started doing exclusive figures for busts or we’re getting some Mandalorian legacy sets as @Swordy logically suggests. If the latter, I hope an ITT from S1 is on the cards.
