Marvel Superheroes 2025 - Rumors & Discussion
CloneCommando99 replied to Clone OPatra's topic in LEGO Licensed
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. -

I know right. ”Welcome to the rebellion.” Day #16 of Tie Avenger bargaining. (Krennic, test Pilot Cassian, Range Trooper and a stormtrooper would be perfect.) So America is just Thneedville from The Lorax? I’d honestly take it. Great parts pack for both rebel guerrillas, civilians and pirates . Good point. So maybe Cassian, Range Trooper, Stormtrooper and the datapad droid? 2026 news! Please be swift in your arrival! -

So….. Trump’s new 100% movie tariff. Will that apply to/ affect merchandise based on said movies? That concerns us because a lot of SW stuff is filmed here in the UK by Pinewood studios. And all SW movies have used non-US locations. In fact I believe Starfighter is/ was slated to film in the UK as well. If Trump’s tariff applies to already made films as well, that means practically all SW merchandise is screwed. I’m not going to call anyone out about this tariff except for Trump himself because who the kriff was anticipating this one?! Avengers Doomsday is already confirmed to have been hit badly as it was filming in London, Supergirl Woman of Tomorrow is currently filming in the UK, Mission Impossible’s definitely been screwed over, Superman might be screwed, Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is cooked… you get the idea. (Before I get eaten by the rancor, this a genuine question about whether it will affect the LSW theme) Day #15 of Tie Avenger begging. (I can practically smell the peak fiction of episodes 7-9 tomorrow) -

Best and Worst year of Lego Star Wars?

2020 Clone Wars and Cantina, 2021 Mando sets, and the very diverse waves of 2022 were all available meaning there was a wide variety of sets to choose from. Before the dark times. Before the buildable characters. -

Wow. I’m ignorant. I didn’t even notice the Ferrix security army troopers and Aldani army troopers had different jumpsuits. Whichever variant Lego’d go with, I’d personally hope that they’d keep the division type of army troopers consistent and it’d be 2 army troopers, 1 army trooper NCO (white stripe) and a stormtrooper. All of which have armour. I’m glad we see eye to eye on the build. Bold of you to assume that Lego would even consider making a set based off the unit and featured planet of Lieutenant “Vader wouldn’t tolerate my actions” I hope so. -

Just built the Kamino GWP. It’s very well designed. I hope we see some more obscure May 4th GWPs in years to come. As much as I’d like it to be an actual set… a AT PT would be a perfect candidate for this. Perhaps with a certain purple lightsabre wielding red head as one of the figs. (Day #15 of Tie Avenger pleading) Seconded. 2 stormtroopers, a death trooper and a shore trooper would be perfect. Though I’d also like a Army Trooper BP for Andor -

May the 4th be with you everyone Ah. Shops like that are pretty common on your average UK high street. There are others such as Bernado’s for vulnerable children (in addition to the BBC Children in Need telethon in November), Salvation Army (I believe they’re also in US), Hospice in the Weald for those with terminal illnesses, Oxfam for the impoverished, and others. Basically, people donate their old clothes, china, bedsheets, toys etc… to the charity shop for free after cleaning them, the charity shop checks the items’ quality, the charity shop then sells it for 50-75% off the original retail price, the proceeds are then donated to the shop’s organisation minus the shop’s operating costs. The workforce is made up of part time volunteers such as myself and part time paid workers (who, with electricity and water, make up the operating costs.) It’s a system where everyone wins. Everyone’s able to get decent quality clothes/ etc for a significantly marked down price whilst donating money to charity, it provides employment opportunities, and most importantly provides a decent flow of funds for achieving the charity’s objectives. Whether that’s researching cancer, helping homeless people or giving less impoverished kids hot meals. We also have other charities such as the British Royal Legion which raises money to provide support to veterans by selling poppies around Remembrance Day and taking cash donations. They also run a number of pubs for veterans to have a social space. But where does the Reaper Tie into all of this? (Wow, Lego’s really crazy to have made 3 different red and white republic starfighters this year when there are so many cool and popular Tie variants uncovered.) (Day #14) -

Day #13 of you know what. (I too support the Tie Defender motion as well) “Welcome to the rebellion” Wow. That’s fantastic. Props to Lego. In other news, today I was able to buy a sealed 2015 Shadow Trooper BP from the local Cancer Research where I occasionally volunteer for £7.50. (Before you judge me, it was that price before I clocked in for my shift) My Imperial Intelligence Unit grows!! (The lovely Dedra Meero being in command of course) It also just goes to show what gems you can find from time to time in the local charity shop. Lego probably just thought none of the sets are expensive/ large enough to warrant preorders. -

Day 12 of asking for a Tie Avenger. Glad to see yet another man of culture join our ranks. There’s one way out. The real question is: who would they add as the 4th figure as that’s the current pattern with £60 sets? The turncoat tech is too obscure. I know it’s not accurate to the scene, but it would be cool if Lego decided to reuse Krennic from the DS as he is a major player in Season 2. January 2026 info can’t come soon enough. Another reason I’ve become so obsessed with the Tie Avenger (apart from being a cool ship from my favourite live action SW show) is because it’s the latest addition to the category of my favourite type of ship: a troop carrier/ shuttle/ gunship/ assault lander with advanced air support/ star-fighter capabilities. Other members of this category include: LAAT, Tie Reaper, Nu-Class Republic Attack shuttle, HMP Droid Gunship, U-Wing and, to a limited extent, the Lambda and Sentinel class shuttles. I megablucking love it when a ship deploys its troops on the battlefield and then proceeds to provide aerial superiority!!! -

I agree with you guys. It’s a very marmite AC. @BrickBob Studpants I’m happy for you. But I don’t think this one is for me. But… B2EM0 MENTIONED! LEGO ACKNOWLEDGED OTHER ANDOR CHARACTERS! (Only buildable droid I’d actually consider buying if it happened) Watch next year be a day by day construction figure. Since I forgor yesterday: Days #10 and #11 of asking Lego for a Tie Avenger. Tie Avengers!… ASSEMBLE! -

Very high traffic here in the UK too. But I powered through and got the U-Wing, Luke Brickheadz, Clone vs Droid BP, Dropship vs Scout Speeder and Mandalore Ambush. That qualified me for the promo. And will likely be it for me for the rest of the LSW year (unless AC ends up being good) (My order is currently in the just placed stage. It says I get the promos currently. But could that be subject to change?) -

Thanks Andor S2 episodes 4-6 tomorrow. Can’t wait to see what else Lego’s fumbled. Day #9 of asking Lego for an official Tie Avenger. If I won I’d use it to get either Jabba’s sail barge or Avengers Tower/ X-Mansion and the Daily Bugle (with my own contributions as well) -

@ArrowBricks, so basically you’re saying you want more stuff like the 2019 Tantive IV? If so, I agree. I think the new Ninjago Legends line is also a good inspiration for this idea. Republic Commando Attack Shuttle (£189.99): 2 Clone Pilots, Boss, Fixer, Sev, Scorch and Tarful Modular Endor Bunker (£169.99): Leia, Han, Rebel Endor Commando, 2 Stormtroopers, 2 Scout Troopers, DS Trooper and a Imperial Officer -

What I find funny is that the supposed wheel build is literally just the middle leg joint of the 2022 AT TE with one extra layer. *inhales* MARA JADE!!!! Jokes aside, I agree. I would love to see more exclusive in universe characters in ACs. Mara Jade, Gallius Rax, Captain Fordo, ARC Trooper Alpha, Crosshair, Mara Jade, Doctor Aphra, Jaxxon, Commander Pyre, Norra Wexley, Major Partagaz, Mara Jade, Scorch, Light side Ventress, Jedi Temple Guard, Mara Jade, Jedi Training Leia, Captain Pellaeon, Sol, Quimir, Darth Nihillus and Mara Jade would all make great AC figures. (Wow, by going through some of these characters I’m reminded that Young Leia (Coughing baby) was a horrendous choice for a female anniversary figure. It wasn’t even the best variant of Leia they could have chosen.) I sincerely hope you’re right. I need more Andor sets. Speaking of which: Day #8 of asking for a official Lego Tie Avenger. -

Ah mb Thanks. The Turbo tank is going to be absolutely horrendous. Who greenlit this? Is this the LSW equivalent of DC’s Harley Quinn fart comic? Fun fact: in the Most Beloved SW Characters page on Lego.com, Leia and Han are not represented by their minifigs unlike all the other characters, but rather by the midi scale Tantive and MF respectively. This is a reference to how neither of them currently have on shelves minifigs of their base outfits. Or in Leia’s case an OT appearance whatsoever. -

I get where you’re coming from. And I respect your opinion. Like you said it comes down to personal preferences. But then again, only the first 3 episodes have released and this arc is supposed to be the season’s weakest so maybe the Emmy-bait is something to do with that. Now, you drive a very good point. And I’m struggling to figure out a good counter argument (which further suggests it’s down to personal preferences.) So forgive me if I’m just blabbering here. Honestly I never got around to liking Skeleton Crew that much, it didn’t feel that much like SW to me for some reason. Whilst Andor does. (Am I stupid?) I don’t know if that’s because i’m just a history buff and see the historical parallels in the OT and PT. Much like how elements of Andor feel like the Russian revolution and 17th-20th century colonial oppression. Or that there’s sneaky little aesthetic details which harken back to the late 70s/ early 80s which had made its way into the OT (Lonni’s hair and stache combo for instance) You’re right though, Star Wars at heart should always cater to the family. I guess that’s why so many people loved SC and Mando. But I think every so often, SW should try something a bit different such as Andor. That way it’ adds a bit of differentiation and brings new fans who might have never considered liking SW into the fold. I personally think that Disney + SW thrives when it dares to do the unexpected (with the exception of Acolyte.) Mando S1 fully embraced the space western whilst the OT was a mixture of western and war themes. It worked really well and was praised by fans. Mando S2 switched things up and started delivering unexpected cameos in a capacity in which a live action SW project had never done before. Again, adored by fans. Andor S1 changed the narrative entirely removing lightsabers, the force and focused purely on the struggle of the galaxy’s normal people. Result: universal praise. SC does a similar thing, focusing on kids having an adventure and not rebels/ Jedi fighting in massive battles with the galaxy at stake. Loads of fans liked it. Andor S2 may be going for Emmy-bait but so far the general consensus by fans is well received, granted the season isn’t over yet so we can’t make a full judgement. Compare that with the constantly reused trope of “sad old version of fan-favourite character who is constantly gripped by their past guilt” seen in TFA, TLJ, Kenobi and TBoBF. The fans and critics did not receive any of those all that well (it might also be something to do with fan expectations being too high if it’s characters with an already large following). I just think that a variety in themes and tone allows for a more fleshed out SW universe, I mean it’s a large galaxy after all. One which many different types of fans can enjoy. For every Andor you have YJA. For every Umbara arc of TCW you have C3P0 and R2 D2 reenacting Gulliver’s Travels/ Wizard of Oz. For every Maul and Savage you have the Martez sisters. For every Vader you have Jar Jar. I find a difference in tones is not only good for fan engagement, but it also highlights how expansive the SW galaxy really is and no character’s story is the same. My apologies for the yapping. And thank you to those who took the time to read. But I digress, back to Lego AC is rumoured to be revealed on May 1st-4th. Any final minifig predictions. -

Tarantula. Talia Al Ghul. Jabba and his slaves. I know these aren’t the same exactly. But I currently want more than anything for there to be more Andor sets. So I’m coping hard and praying for a Tie Avenger and Army Trooper BP in 2026. (Not even Buildable B2EM0? Bro’s literally a talking version of my dog) But I’d take RO sets as well. Hey now. I’m not complaining about that. I’ll take it any day of the week over Acolyte, TBoBF, SC, Mando S3 and the ST. I fell to my knees at the pure peak fiction I had just witnessed once episode 3 ended. The music, the cinematography, the acting, the pacing (of episode 3) all Absolute Cinema! (I don’t mean to glaze, but this is the happiest I’ve been with a live action SW project for a while) Cassian and Mon are now 100% in my top 10 all time SW characters. Bix and Luthen are just outside the circle. In other news. According to Kramer, the CTT’s wheels are brick built. Yeah. I think this will be the Clone Bros’ breaking point.
