A McDonald’s Chicken Nugget I’ll do you one better: When is Soup?

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!!!

The audacity to include the Jim Carey Riddler logo on the stand but not him is an actual minifigure is astounding. Batman can’t even get enemies to fight anymore 💀

Yooooooooo Is that Ultimate Green Goblin in Oscorp?! As for sets themselves: Oscorp and Quinjet = great Peter’s Apartment, Endgame battle and train battle = ok Iron Man 2 = meh

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)

Time for Lego to Tie up some loose ends Tie Avenger/ Escape from Sienar (£64.99): Cassian Andor (Test Pilot), Stormtrooper, Range Trooper, Datapad droid and an imperial officer. Tie Reaper (£79.99): Director Krennic, 2 Death Troopers, Tie Pilot, Jyn Erso/ Rebel Commando Tie Defender (£59.99): Grand Admiral Thrawn, Vult Skerris, Governor Pryce (armour) and Sabine Wren Tie Punisher/ Big Boom Boom (£79.99): Starkiller, Warlord Zsinj, Tie Baron and 2 storm commandos (fitting minifig selection for what’s basically a Tie Bomber on steroids) Tie Sentinel (£59.99): Admiral Natasi Daala, Captain Pellaeon, Tie Pilot and a stormtrooper. MBS Tie Fighter Hangar (£214.99): Captain Kerrill, Tie Pilot Shen, Tie Pilot, Cal Kestis (ISB uniform), BD-1, stormtrooper (with Kay Vess faceprint), Chopper (disguised), 2 jet pack troopers, imperial navy tech, KX Security droid (shock baton) and Luke Skywalker (orange lightsaber comics)

@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.

The F4 set leaked. The build looks great. The minifigs range from meh to garbage.

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.

I love it! You’ve really managed to nail the cockpit’s shaping. And the missile launcher placement is excellent with the wing structure you’ve incorporated (though I think a rack of old fashioned flick fire missiles would encapsulate the ship’s rocket feature better, but that would be at the detriment of your wing structure) I really hope this ship gets made into an actual set soon. That way we can get a new test pilot helmet for Cassian.

I feel attacked here. But yeah. Over saturation is a problem. And ignoring cool things such as the Tie Avenger in a year where it’s 100% more relevant than a Glup Shitto legion with 5 seconds of screen time, is just way too annoying when it’s at the detriment of said relevant cool thing’s chances at getting made. (I will not let this go, however annoying I may end up being, it’s just too perfect a piece of play-set material from a exceptionally good piece of content to go to waste) For the record like clones. I just prefer the empire. I have this username because I like a cheeky bit of alliteration and because I had TBB on the brain at the time of making my account. (Also it makes more sense to have a custom GL paint job on clone armour than stormtrooper armour) Agreed. Also, Krennic and Tarkin should in no way be kept exclusive to this set. They are both main antagonists in multiple pieces of media at this point. They 100% should not be locked behind a $1000 paywall! The ministry of silly hats and the emerging “why the kriff are we even in here” squad are fair game though imo. Diabolical…. Just diabolical.

Wow. So Lego’s sacrificed the desires of all fans but TCW ones this summer and the sets aren’t even worth it? Who am I kidding. Clone bros will complain and still buy 50 day one anyway. Please tell me you have some good news. You wouldn’t have to explicitly say what it is. Just something hopeful. All Lego’s done this year is drop the ball. I need to know if this is a fluke or a new standard. What helped with those sets is that they also stood out in their respective waves. This year, all play-sets either have clones or are a Starfighter with red colouring. Half of them fulfil both categories at once. The U-Wing is definitely what stands out the most this year. Due to its light blue and white colour scheme and unique figures. Day #5 of asking for asking Lego to make a Tie Avenger. I personally think it looks to similar in flight mode to the standard tie to warrant a set. But I respect that you’ve been left out from an Outlander for almost 5 years now. So I hope that at least you can be happy with whatever next year’s Tie is. (They can’t ignore ties again? Can they?) Only if it includes a decent officer.

To my fellow Tie Avengers. (ASSEMBLE!!) Let us pray that there isn’t a notable Tie Fighter in M&G next year. As that would certainly take up the next Tie set slot and definitely condemn our chances of a Avenger as it’s just too large and detailed for a duel pack. 2027 is also a no go since either a normal Tie or Vader’s tie will have to be made for ANH 50th anniversary. Why did Lego have to release 3 different red and white republic starfighters this year?! Couldn’t they have saved one for next year and made the Avenger instead?!

I get why you dislike it. But I don’t think it looks that bad. It’s not as noticeable as Commander Fox. But wouldn’t letting them go and locating the secret rebel base have more strategic value than just killing Leia and letting her become a martyr to the still hidden rebels? I think the plan from the get go was to let them escape and lead them to Yavin. Why else would Vader not join the response team to the security breach regarding his prisoner? Preach! TBF, Major Vonreg’s tie, another Tie Interceptor look a like with red accents, was already on shelves at the time so the lack of a Tie Whisper was understandable. The lack of a Tie Avenger on the other hand is completely inexcusable for the reasons you’ve already listed and especially since the Fang Fighter vs Tie Interceptor, the tie it looks closest to, is now retired. I would have traded the K2S0 Buildable as we likely wouldn’t have gotten Dedra or K2 at all if it was the Avenger. Lego has really just fumbled with the decision making this year huh? DC and SW more than other themes.

Today was about wiping the taste of Acolyte from Lucasfilm’s mouth. Can we just get a confirmation on which tank shitto 75413 is already?!

He did initially leak the Buildable Ewok though. We live in the strangest timeline. But yeah. All his previous LoTR “leaks” have been the Lego equivalent of a Mike Zeroh video.

Wait. The Tie Avenger has shuttle capabilities? I did not know that. I was under the impression that it was just a chunkier Tie Defender. But then again, I haven’t watched the first 3 Andor S2 episodes yet. You have. Now I want one even more for my ISB agent and Death Troopers to deploy from as the Tie Reaper may never happen. The reason why my version was £60 with 4 minifigs was due to that being the standard going rate for smaller ships/ larger starfighters. U-Wing Tie Bomber Sith Infiltrator ARC-170 Mando’s N-1 So I reckon if a Tie Avenger happens it’ll probably be in the £60 sub theme. I’m still waiting for a BF2 Corvus/ Raider Corvette as well. (A 18+ midi in scale with the 2021 light cruiser would be so good) Me Tambor needs a Wat figure. I love all of these. If only Lego would read this thread for ideas.

Someone’s about to get trooper of the year. I know right. This and no Superman sets are just inexcusable. I just got word from my wife’s boyfriend, John Lego. The 2030 AC will be $100 and include Cloud City Boba Fett. I hope that either Maul or Thrawn and a Stormtrooper are the villains included in this year’s AC.

Absolute Cinema! Yet so annoying on the Lego end of things. (My apologies for beating a dead bantha) In other Andor news: it’s currently rated at 98% on Rotten Tomatoes! I believe that’s the highest a SW project has ever recieved. We’re definitely in for a treat. With or without enough Lego sets to do it justice. U-Wing is a day one purchase for me in order to try and get Lego to make more sets.
