I was talking about the Lothal Resistance Group in season 4. They were a ragtag bunch of freed prisoners, pilots, farmers and workers led by Ryder Azadi. But aside from that, I think I might just have this weird preference for making my OC rebels working class revolutionaries (because history has had such a huge impact on my interests) I often forget that most kids don’t share the same historical influence to imagination as I had. Though come to think of it, Pheonix Squadron Soldiers would make a great BP because of their enclosed helmets. I’m not saying that there shouldn’t be Rebel BPs at all. I’m just saying that there’s a reason armoured units are more common in BPs and why it’s a relatively good strategy to sprinkle a couple of rebel soldiers here and there in sets. I think the reason why I’m as against Rebel BPs as I am is because I don’t like the idea of having multiple of the same face print on show in a unit. (This is especially a problem with Rebel Fleet Troopers as there’s currently only a couple of different face prints with the helmet strap.) so I may be a bit biased in that sense. I do think a remake of the 2012 Endor BP would be awesome though. Besides, this is a very intriguing debate. I get that I’m in the minority. But It’s always interesting to gain an understanding of everyone else’s POV on such matters. Agreed. Though not as bad as @BrickBob Studpants’s heresy. Touché. I personally find Hoth Rebels to be my least favourite OT rebel trooper since they aren’t as versatile. Same goes to imperial snow troopers. I still find them cool though.

Ok. I hear your criticisms of me saying that Rebels can easily be kit-bashed. I think it just comes down to personal ideology on what a rebel is. There are Rebels who are an organised military with uniforms like in the OT. But I usually think of the Lothal resistance from Rebels, the heist crew from Andor and general workers revolutions in history (I’m a history fanatic and studied Russia back in the day) But I do still think that Stormies and Clones should be prioritised more than rebels in BPs due to their larger numbers. A couple of Rebel soldiers (with the exception of Hoth rebels who do need specific sets) should be thrown in a set here and there whether it’s an imperial ground vehicle, base or rebel ship. The first Rogue One wave in 2016 is an example of this working very well. (Of course the second wave had both imperial and rebel BPs in Jan 2017)

Absolute Cinema! Though couldn’t Hal or Guy be included as well for $20? Anyway I would accept another John if it’s his War Journal suit. With dual-moulded legs. Honestly I think this is my favourite John design.

Green Lantern Corps Jurassic Park Security Ultron Bots Red Coats Joker’s Goons AIM Agents Hydra Agents Shield Agents Orcs Rohirrim Koopas Goombas Whatever those things are The thing with Battlepacks is that Lego should always prioritise armoured units (stormtroopers, Clones, Mandalorians) over rebels. As they have a distinct shape. Whilst you can easily kit-bash some guerrilla rebels. In other news, my order arrived whilst I was out today. I came home to find that the delivery guy had left it in the rain, the packaging had completely soaked through all the cardboard boxes and destroyed the GWP instructions. Thank god for online instructions. This is also the only time I’ve been thankful for Lego’s lack of environmental friendliness with the plastic bags. Actual payed for set instructions seem to have luckily been cocooned against the water by the plastic bags. DPD will be getting a strongly worded email.

It’s Jonklin time. Joker 2 will make a jokillion in the box office

I’d also like an imperial remnant pack. Scout Trooper, Incinerator Trooper and 2 Battle-damaged Stormtroopers would be the dream. Would work well as both a mando tie in and with Endor if the rumours are true.

This! This is why we need a Star Wars What If!! Add in Johnny Depp as Hondo and watch the Box Office explode. Rogue, Wolverine and Cyclops figs have already leaked.

Jonkler 3: Enter the Spooder

Imagine if we ended up getting a Hall of Justice from the icons line. Different team, better understanding of the fanbase. It was meeeee Barrry!!! Being a professional hater is hard work. Props to Thawne.

Why, thank you. As you can see, my current lantern status is mimetic of the state of the joke.

You got me. I’m more of an Empire guy. But i grew up with TCW so i have a soft spot for clones. Also, what can I say? i can’t resist a cheeky spot of alliteration. Exactly. And what’s even sadder is that we’ll never get Doom Guy. What do you mean Lego won’t make Commander Glup Shitto of the 69th platoon?! Do they hate their fans?! I completely agree. Let’s hope that if the Ewok Village rumour is true, we get a bunch of companion sets.

This hurts

I’d pay for Smokescreen or Sideswipe. But Wheeljack would probably be the next best choice for sports car since they’ve just done Bee.

Cool. But that unfortunately spells the end for a Daily planet or Arkham modular. Still excellent.

Fair enough. But i still just don’t understand why many members of the community are like “why isn’t it a ROTS set?!!” Whenever a new 2025 set gets leaked. i mentioned it before, but the biggest criticism of the Night trooper BP leak i saw that it wasn’t Wolfpack or Galactic Marines. Not that it was fake and had no evidence., I swear that Clone Bros are the most entitled faction within the LSW fanbase. I love SW militaries, if Lego makes a trooper or vehicle i like the look of i just get it. But Clone Bros find ways to complain even if they get exactly what they want (a la 2022 AT TE)

I honestly have only really been missing very small, common parts in my sets recently. So the QC issues are there, it just doesn’t ruin the set for me. I really don’t get why people are expecting a massive amount of ROTS sets in 2025. None of the other PT movies have gotten sets specifically for their 20th anniversaries.

Anyone else surprised that Ninjago hasn’t done a space season yet?

That’s it! I’m joining @ARC2149Nova on this one. The madness is getting the best of me. mors mihi lucrum Anywho any Man vs Jonkler set predictions for 2025?

Huh, I actually didn’t think I’d get this far. Me neither. We have much to think about.

I would love to see a Ultimate Iron Lad suit.

We’ve had turtle, yes. But what about absolute turtle?

Guys! Guys! Guys! You can’t end me with logic. We have the power of Turtle and anime on our side! (What my insane associate is trying to say is that we didn’t have time to properly merge the power rings into a white lantern ring immediately, so we’re kinda in the purgatory stage of white lantern-hood rn.) We should have a poll to decide which Batman is the best. Yes? Good.

NO! With the collapse of r/BatmanArkham all the insanity is piling into here. I thought that maybe if i cycled through the emotional spectrum one at a time fast enough… i’d be able to stop the brickest night. The voice in my head was right. The voice that’s been stuck there since the summer and the AI in my power ring have one and the same. The only way to survive the purge is to become more unstable than insanity. Desperate Times call for desperate measures. We must become chaos itself. Though this time by choice. Guys! Guys! In times of Batman, with a superman mech in sight, We must merge to endure the chaos of the night, The DC discussion thread must be saved from it’s plight, So swears Turtle and Commando with our combined might! We are an Omni-Lantern, We Are Chaos, We are Turtle! The BRICKEST NIGHT is upon us. How about a poll?

You guys reckon they’ll do another set of anniversary figures in 2029? I wonder what they’ll do then. They’ve done classic and fan-favourite. Maybe gold?
