CloneCommando99

We are condemned to use the tools of our enemy (501st BP style lobbying) to defeat them. I burn my decency and data for another subtheme’s future. So what is my sacrifice? Not that much but I just really want a Tie Avenger (and ISB Tactical Shuttle and Army Trooper BP, but I’m willing to compromise unlike Clone Bros) Day #27 of Tie Avenger hunting. MARA JADE!!!

Day #26 of Tie Avenging Can we just get 2026 or Death Star news already?!

I bet Lego’s glad that 501st BP MkII is still on shelves. Take a look at this. (2 days ago, it’s about 650 higher now) The Andor and ROTS effect is crazy. And it keeps climbing. And now that plastic pauldrons are likely a thing, Lego very much has the ability now more than ever before to do the Imperial and FO BF2 classes. There’s also a 501st BP style BF3 movement happening right now as well. Good point. It’s just we’ve missed out on so much stuff this year, I just hope that M&G doesn’t cannibalise the possibility of more Andor sets (unlikely as they are already)

Tie Avenger. Where art thou Tie Avenger? (Day #26) How many sets do ya’ll realistically think we’ll get next year? More because a movie is releasing, or the same because Lego’s a cheapskate?

Day #26 of Tie Avenger requesting After the Turbo Tank and 327th BP’s outcome, I don’t have too much faith in the MTT being good either. Soon these days will end.

It almost feels like DC’s trolling me at this point (August cover art) I mean. Kyle’s literally holding one of the new Ninjago swords.

So. I was recently watching a couple of videos regarding the recent Vader Fortnite controversy… and I noticed that there are some ITTs placed around the Fortnite map. I seriously question why Lego’s not made a proper ITT yet. It’s very popular due to appearances in Rebels, Mando, Outlaws, JFO and now Fortnite. It just feels like a no brainer for a imperial vehicle. Nah. Zeta Class in the Milano scale would be better imo. The vehicle key to the movie’s plot, finally getting made would be a perfect and symbolic tribute to the 10th Anniversary of the best Disney SW movie (which of course has been made even better through Andor’s character building) Agreed on your other point. Day #25 of Tie Avenger summoning. Though I’d also calibrate my enthusiasm for a ISB Tactical Shuttle.

Now that Andor S2 is over I’d like to share some ideas. I honestly think that all of these deserve to get made.

Theory: @THELEGOBATMAN is Manny Bothans and discovered the construction of a 2nd Death Star when he attempted to rescue Dedra from Narkina 5. As he found out that the prisons were still manufacturing Death Star parts despite it having been exploded. TheLegoBothan then alerted the Alliance and faked his death so he could live happily ever after with his war criminal wife. Now that would be Kino (Loy)

Just finished it. I’m lost for words. I don’t think I’ve ever come across a live action TV show, let alone a SW one, that’s played with my emotions as much as Andor has. The endings of the last two arcs had me shedding a tear. Stellar performances all round. I hope Lucasfilm learns what a well thought out project can do. I agree with @THELEGOBATMAN. I can confidently say that Andor has usurped Brooklyn 99 as my favourite TV show ever. Cassian and Mon Mothma are now definitely in my top 10 SW characters. With the rest of the Andor cast being joint 11th. What did Cassian sacrifice for the rebellion? Calm, kindness, kinship… love. By the time of Rogue One he’s given up all chance of inner peace. He’s made his mind a sunless space. He shares his dreams with ghosts (Maarva, Brasso, Kino, Luthen, Nemik, the Ghor.) He’s condemned to use the tools of his enemy (literally K2S0 and the uniforms he steals). So what did he sacrifice? Everything! The writing and parallels are constantly on point.. We need more Lego sets for Andor. 100%. I have a few ideas. I honestly don’t think words cannot fully describe how much I love this show. I was afraid that I was losing interest in the franchise after Acolyte. I couldn’t even bring myself to finish SC. But Andor S2 has restored my faith in the franchise’s future. Bravo Gilry and Co. Just bravo.

According to TandNbricks, the age of cloth pauldrons will be over as of this year. Before you complain, he says that they’re being replaced by a much better looking alternative. Rubber Dr Strange cape material? If so, that would be great cause I’ve been asking for that for years. Sandtroopers, Stormtrooper officers, clone officers might be peak now. Hopefully we can get an imperial Sandtrooper/ stormtrooper/ BF2/ JFO Battlepack utilising these supposedly better looking pauldrons soon. Either way, a lot of options just opened up for the empire. As for downscaling: I think it’s overblown at times. The U-Wing, ISD and ARC-170 are arguably some of the most overhated perfectly decent sets. Yes. It would be better if some stuff (Turbo Tank) was bigger. But it honestly doesn’t bother me as much in most cases as long as it still performs it’s basic function (U-Wing can still fit 3-4 figs in the bottom if you place carefully.) Days #22, #23 and #24 of Tie Avenger lobbying.

This guy gets it. Army Trooper and stormtrooper BP, Tie Avenger, Occupier Tank and ISB Tactical Agents’ Shuttle would all be perfect. Day #21 of Tie Avenger demanding (Marauder is low-key my favourite Lego imperial tank. It’s so versatile!) I think I gave a pretty good theory about why this was the case with Eadu the last time you brought this up. Otherwise, I respect your opinion. No piece of content is going to please everyone. I don’t agree with your argument though. I don’t see how Rogue One directly contradicts the lore of the OT. And if fan service is all that SW fans respond to, then how come TROS is so unpopular?

I think it’s concerning that you have a secret camera in his house. (U-Wing is easily one of the best sets of the year)

Can’t wait to see what Lego’s planned for the theme’s funeral.

Honestly most realistic part of Andor seeing that the Empire’s officer corps is predominantly British. (I’m joking of course) True. Fair enough. Still praying for the Tie Avenger though. (ISB round table would low-key be a great diorama) I’m surprised Lego’s not created a Luthen’s shop subtheme at this point seeing how they’re now so obsessed with buildable objects. Same. 2026 news can’t come soon enough.

Bacara’s helmet looks good. On the other hand though, it’s made me realise Lego’s probably going to want to reuse this. And there’s only one known way they can…. *Sighs* I can practically smell 501st BP 3: Electric Boogalee next year. It reeks of unfortunate inevitability imo. Day #20 of Tie Avenger grovelling (please Lego, do an Army Trooper BP to tie in with an Avenger instead of the above)

It looks great… For a £90 set. I just can’t see where the price is justified here. Is there a heavily moulded Octupara Tri-droid as a side build or something? I know. I know. But rebellions are built on hope. Andor Season 2 is just too good and has so much set potential for it to just get ignored from now on by Lego. I will die on this hill. 4. 2 Marines, Bacara and Mundi.

Depends on whether the model would have efficient landing gear.

19. Day #19 of Tie Avenger summoning. Yes Soon I hope. In my mind I’m praying that leakers reveal on Wednesday that the Christmas AT AT is actually the Death Star GWP with a single figure. And the £80 Lego Exclusive set will end up with the 3 figs (Cassian, Stormtrooper and Range Trooper) and be a Tie Avenger. Hence why there’s been such confusion. It’s a delusional idea though. And my theories (apart from V-19) have never turned out to be true. I still wince from the memory of my theorising that last year’s Young Leia set was actually a Zillo Beast with Omega or that the X-Wing vs Tie was a New Republic set. What Clone vehicle types will be left undone after this year? If we figure that out, we know what to expect next year.

Alright. So my friend recently bought and showed off to me his Lego Marvel Milano (76286) In line with @ArrowBricks’s previous suggestion of a sort of bridge sub-theme between UCS and play-scale, I have a few suggestions for how the ‘12+ GoTG Milano/ Benetar scale’ could be applied to some SW ships. (Spoiler: this would work really well for shuttles and freighters) Zeta Class Shuttle: Jyn Erso, Cassian Andor, K2S0, Chirrut Imwe, Baze Malbus and Bodhi Rook (Perfect set for RO’s 10th Anniversary if they were to do only one set) Nu-Class Shuttle: Hunter, Crosshair, Wrecker, Rampart, Scorch and Royce Hemlock (Alternate option would be a Republic Commando lineup) Fondor Haulcraft: Luthen Rael, Cassian Andor, Vel Sartha, Bix Calleen, Lonni Jung and Kleya. Shuttle Tyderium: Han, Luke, Leia, Chewie, Lando and Crix Madine Sentinel Class Shuttle: Thrawn, S4 Sabine, S3-4 Ezra, 2 Death Troopers and Governor Pryce The Caisson: cast of Zero Company Stinger Mantis: Cal, Greez, Merrin, Bode, Cere, Eno Cordova and Dagan Gera. Twilight: Anakin, Ahsoka, P1 Rex, Denal, P1 Echo, P1 Fives and R3 S6.

Kriffed Up Beyond All Recognition Day #18 of Tie Avenger lobbying. When we getting the full DS fig list? Also, is the GWP confirmed to be a standard Tie? If not, I reckon it will be an obscure Tie (Raptor would work very well with the current piece count) or Vader’s Tie.

@Darth_Bane13, @Swordy Just watched episode 9. Holy kriff, you guys weren’t kidding. That was one heck of an emotional roller coaster. Day #17 of Tie Avenger requests. But Lucas damn, we just need more Andor sets in general. Mon’s Speeder, Riot Speeder, Troop Speeder, Narkina 5, Partisan/ early X-Wings, Fondor Haulcraft… I’ll take anything. I’ll happily reward Lego just for acknowledging this masterpiece. Hard agree. I was already in the pro Rogue One sets camp. But another great thing about Andor is that it’s retroactively making Rogue One, which is already a very solid movie, even better with small details. I need Zeta Class, Tie Reaper, Scariff citadel, etc… ASAP. Like the optimism. But at this point it’s a given that this one is KUBAR.

So did Bronze Tiger kill Robin in the Lego DC canon?

Just finished watching Episode 8 of Andor S2. Wow… just wow. I think that’s some of the best SW I’ve ever watched. It’s made me feel things about a SW project which I haven’t felt since Victory and Death released, and even then to a greater extent. If Acolyte is what it took to get this… it was worth it. Can’t wait to watch 9 tomorrow. Day #17 of Tie Avenger lobbying (I am also rather enticed by the imperial troop transport speeder (not the ITT) and the riot control speeder which have popped up in quite a few episodes now) Can’t wait for this to be the SW Hoopty (no one will buy it full price)

So now that 6160 figures are on the table thanks to Oscorp’s Green Goblin…. I’d say that Iron Lad has a pretty good chance at being either in the next Hall of Armour or the next Iron Man mech minifig. I could also see Ultimate Cap being a figure if they do another mech for him. Winter Soldier/ Wolverine, as much as he’d be cool, would be very hard to slot in a set casually like other characters could be. His design is so distinctive from your standard X-Men set.
