  1. Rebooted, Skybound and the Oni trilogy are now around the same age the first seasons were when the 10th anniversary legacy sets hit. Also Zane was the only Ninja to get a remake of their Possesion vehicle.
  2. In my defence. I have nothing against normal Snyder fans. I myself enjoyed MoS and WW quite wholeheartedly despite their flaws. It’s just the most vocal group of them who display Eobard Thawne levels of pettiness toward James Gunn and the new DCU despite Superman not releasing yet. That group, rightfully dubbed “Snydercult,” are who it’s both hilarious and disturbing to watch get in a tizzy for no good reason and reveal themselves not to be comic fans in the slightest despite claiming to be so and that Gunn isn’t. I actually was thinking about this the other day. If Lego wants to capitalise on the Superman hype, they could do a Guy Gardner mech vs General Zod in January 2026. Since that’s where both GL and Superman now overlap in the character and villain department. (Guy was also in House of Braniac, albeit a background role so they could also do Braniac) It’s X-Mansion priced. Therefore we can expect 9-10 characters. I am definitely ruling out Robin now.
  3. They walk now?! Calling it now… Stormtrooper, Tie Pilot, and Commander Praji
  4. 7+ and 6+ usually aren’t Buildable characters. 10+ are.
  5. We now have some 2026 news 75421, $70, 7+ (Mandalorian Movie set) 75423, $100, 7+ (Mandalorian Movie set) I’m going to be honest. If these are in USD, I think these are likely starfighters and at that price due to Tariffs. 75436, 6+ 75437, 7+ 75440, 18+ 75441, 18+ 75443, 4+ 75448, 6+ 75449, 6+ 75452, 10+ (we all know damn well this one’s going to be another Buildable droid) I like the amount of play-sets in this list. If we substitute the obligatory Clone set 50% we might even get some Andor and Rogue One stuff.
  6. Huzzah. Looking at the large pieces in this set, I’d argue that’s a fair price. I think you’ve spent too much time in the Aslume. I think the first word is ISB. Either way, I’m happy my Agent Kallus and 3 Death troopers will have some new co-workers.
  7. Chopper, Logo and Jango Fett helmet got leaked. They all look good. I won’t buy any, unless one of my friend wants one so I can get to the May 4th GWP threshold. The Logo is gonna be a neat shelf warmer.
  8. Agreed. I love it! I believe this will be a bestseller. (I need this to.) It’s a rumour which numerous brick tap sources are saying. But the figures are still galactic marines. But ultimately we’re not sure right now. If it isn’t, my guess is that part of the build is a tri-droid with a very large domed headpiece (would explain the price) What we do know is that Commander Bacara is actually in the set and has a new helmet mould. (Kenobi purge troopers incoming?)
  9. I like it. The All Star Superman inspiration really shows with the robots. I am also enjoying watching the Snyder cult having a meltdown over every piece of news releasing. One guy really thought he was making a valid criticism of Gunn when he criticised a description of Guy Gardner which said that he was chosen by the ring for being fearless instead of willpower. (He then started calling the “(insert name) you have the ability to overcome great fear” panels posted in the comments fake and “woke Gunn propaganda”) It’s both concerning and hilarious.
  10. Don’t do that. Don’t give me hope. God damn it!
  11. UCS Slave One looks good. Hopefully we can get all other May sets revealed soon. The U-Wing I need.
  12. Ok. All right. I like where this is going. Though I said the same thing about ToTE trailer last year but that turned out to be insanely mid. But the difference here is that both these characters are ones I like and would like to see more of. Unlike Morgan Elsbeth. Also why is there more imperial military stuff in this trailer than the entire ToTE series?! Final thing: why didn’t they save this for celebration?
  13. The Tie Caroller is real!!!! Gingerbread would look better. But it would also probably mean the figure is the gingerbread clone trooper. Actually, who am I kidding? That would be sick.
  14. Yeah it’s not like in the OT Vader is actively seen executing imperial officers for making stupid mistakes. And some gunnery officers decided not to shoot an escape pod that came out of the hostile ship despite being given orders to do so. Oh wait. Imperial incompetence has always been a running theme in SW. Empire is still my favourite faction though. I always assumed that was because the storm was blocking the communications and radar. Kinda makes sense for a black-site research facility as no one can detect it, even Bodhi had to give manual directions instead of precise coordinates. But of course it’s a double edged sword. This is further suggested by Galen giving a physical message to Bodhi instead of transmitting it directly to Saw and Krennic going to investigate in person. Didn’t the turbo lasers on the Eadu installation take out half the rebel squadron that was sent in? I’d call that pretty effective air defence. Also I’m pretty sure all the rebel starfighters that made it to Scariff’s surface were shot down before the Death Star even arrived. Thank you! This is pretty much what I was trying to say. Same. Though I wonder if Hasbro would let lego use their Christmas trooper designs. As for downsizing. I’d say it’s relative to the vehicle currently. A-Wings AT-RTs and Jedi Starfighters need to be smaller. Things like shuttles in general (bar the LAAT) need to be bigger. All other starfighters I think are fine as they are.
  15. You do know that Kathleen and Dave worked at Lucasfilm years before the acquisition right? They were literally handpicked by George. Look, I used to think like this too. But then I started looking at which content creators were actually criticising these things and what else they were criticising. They tend to be the same people who complained about bricks and screws in Andor, fire in space in the Acolyte (despite the Death Star itself having a massive exothermic explosion) (don’t get me wrong it is a terrible show), a real life gun being used in Andor, and even Ewoks existing if you go far back enough in the fanbase’s history. And don’t get me started on the “SW was never political crowd” George was literally inspired by the Vietnam war (which he was writing ANH during) and Bush’s push for emergency powers in RoTS. A lot of them are nit picky people who hold SW to a standard it’s never met because of their nostalgia. There’s also nothing wrong with adding more diversity. If you want to appeal to international markets and both genders it’s just common business logic. The problem is when it’s focused on and forced in at the expense of the story and writing (cough Reva cough) These days I just look at the good things (Andor, JFO, JS, Rebels, TBB, TCWS7, Mando S1-2 Rogue One, Squadrons, both Thrawn trilogies, Tarkin novel and the Aftermath trilogy) casually enjoy Kenobi, TFA and Ahsoka as they have their moments and ignore the abysmal bantha poop that are Acolyte, TBoBF and TROS. Of course this is all subjective. Overall it’s all subjective and dependent on each individual’s POV and preference. My father for one hates the prequels and animation but loves the sequels, I am the opposite, but we both agree on Andor and Rogue One being great. Like they say: one man’s garbage is another man’s treasure. The bait is strong with this one. Maybe you’re right. Maybe SW does need a little break from the big and little screens. But may I remind ya’ll that if SW goes away for a while it might lose all relevance, since you guys so eagerly point out that the Sequels didn’t create many new fans among kids. If SW isn’t kept relevant by new content so it can be introduced by new people, we face the risk of the fanbase gradually withering away since even established fans will have less to keep invested. Do you really wish to see future generations not be SW fans because of a few mediocre movies? Either way. Let the video games still remain operational. Jedi games, squadrons and BF2 are proof that Disney can cook in the video game department. TandN said earlier that a Christmas tie fighter is coming. That would be cool. But I don’t know the difference between reality and fiction on this accursed day.
  16. 🎵Look who’s back, back again. You know who’s back, tell a friend🎵
  17. Ok guys we’ve got to cool it with the ice puns. Is a SW character liking Chiss culture the SW equivalent of being a weeb? Well played my Beskar suited friend. How did you find out that I am in fact Eli Vanto? Wait… forget I said that. That wasn’t supposed to be revealed until Aslume Chapter 4: Turtles and Imposters.
  18. Nope. We got that news January last year. I 100% know this because that’s what pushed me to join the forum.
  19. I reckon there’s a chance of the Death Star fig list and, if there’s one, a Lego exclusive in October getting leaked tomorrow. On April 1st last year we got the sail barge fig list. And famously the year before we got the September wave and UCS Venator info. I am expecting a U-Wing reveal though.
  20. And everyday I wake up thankful for it. Oh my… everyone looks so very dapper. I really like your style and stairs. The dance floor is an insanely good metaphor for the 2024 DC theme itself— HOLY COW! IS THAT MAN AND LUIGI?!! Peak. Are we playing holochess in teams or are 2 people watching? But that doesn’t matter because you did it! You remembered Womp Rat! Are you sure you actually built the 3rd image? It just looks like you got @Renny The Spaceman’s daily routine on camera. (Uj/ hilarious build, kinda making me fear the omnipotence of Dummy) 4th one is a cold build ngl. What’s going to happen to them when Andor S2 ends?
  21. Don’t worry guys. I’m sure we’ll have another chance at Lego making the Tie Avenger and Fondor Haulcraft when Andor Season 3 releases… Oh wait.
  22. We literally have footage. None of the cancelled films even got that far.
  23. Those have already been confirmed for 2026. The delay suggests they are Mando Movie sets. The Avenger, Reaper and Defender are my most wanted Tie models. Scratch that, Starfighters. The only other things I want for the Empire are an ITT, decent (as in versatile unit like Army Troopers or Stormtroopers) battlepack and a patrol gunship (this one is optional if the Reaper gets made)
  24. If it’s not a UT-AT I can see the following options (since otherwise the price point just doesn’t work for a fighter tank with galactic marines) A set with red guards (Palpatine throne room, Yoda vs Palpatine senate duel) A set with red troopers (Sith troopers, shock troopers, etc) Big grey vehicle (needle in a haystack of options) But this irregularity gives me one thing: Unless the set number and prices have been mixed up with the RTG set.
  25. Speaking of Endgame time travel suits… we’re still yet to get one with the movie accurate helmet.
