Why didn’t Ezra or Thrawn nab a Tie Defender and drop from hyperspace which is something the show established was possible? Are they stupid? Turtle might have gotten to him to prevent him from saying that there’ll be more non Batman DC sets. Good man.

I wouldn’t say so. After all Luke’s order in legends was much more lenient than the one Ahsoka left. Sure, it’s unprecedented but a bit of originality never hurt anyone.

Thanks for answering. Ngl this is funny. Props to you.

Ideally I’d like a UCS style Imperial Man of War. 2 Gun Decks of 5-6 cannons, minimum of 10-12 canons included. Detailed Brig. 20 Minifigs: 13 assorted crew members (some of them being in the style of actual 18th century navy sailors), Admiral, Admiral’s Daughter, chef and 4 pirates And at the same time Lego releases an updated version of the Barracuda.

I reckon that they’ll still be around. But just lose the red bandages. Also may I point out that for the most part Night Troopers are just normal stormtroopers who got a repair job on their armour. In Ahsoka it was only the rear guard force who became zombies. The Double Death Troopers are the only ones who were resurrected before the final battle.

Just wait until you see Toilet Grenade

Guys! Guys! Guys! I found Alfred and Jason’s supplier.

I would never say no to some high quality Imperial hardware.

I want Enoch. Seeing as that’s the only set he could possibly be in next year.

Shaak Ti and Kit should be prioritised over Luminara. Due to how Luminara was the last of those 3 to appear. (2016 Turbo Tank) We also need Yarael Poof, Yaddle, Depa Bilaba and Bultar Swan to get made.

Since we’re doing these, here’s my anticipation list: U-Wing ARC 170 Night Trooper BP C’mon Turbo Tank and Endor Bunker!

Green Lantern Mech (£12.99): Either John Stewart (War Journal outfit) or Hal Jordan. With Red Lantern Sinestro as the villain figure. Green vs Red Lantern Battlepack (£19.99): Kyle Rayner, Jessica Cruz (updated leg printing), Bd’g, Rankorr, Bleez and Dextarr. Justice League International (£24.99): Mr Terrific, Hawkgirl, Guy Gardner and Supergirl. (Comic inspired tie-in for superman) Watchtower Defence (£24.99): Wonder Woman, Captain Atom, Aquaman and Cyborg Superman Jokerized Batmobile (£49.99): Joker (jokerized Batsuit), Batman (post crisis suit), Batgirl (Cassandra Cain) and Punchline Titans Tower Modular: Nightwing, Donna Troy, Wally West, Starfire, Speedy, Raven, Beast Boy, Cyborg, Slade, Trigon and Peacemaker. And so it begins.

@Renny The Spaceman Is he the chosen one. Destined to bring Demolition Dummy back from the Lego House?

Do you really think that POTC 6 will be successful without Johnny Depp? I could see them releasing an Icons Black Pearl or Flying Dutchman though.

The source is the same guy who leaked the City 2025 sets, Pumpkin GWP, Christmas Promos last year and all the January set names. Yeah I do the same. Except each BP is equal to a fire team/ patrol. 2 BPs make up a section and so on.

Sounds great! Where do I sign up?

Holy Crap! We were right. Corn-cob’s about to make his move!! Call in the dummy!

Night trooper BP has now been confirmed. I wonder what the build will be.

It’s really interesting to hear how everyone does their Army ORBAT. Anywho, back to the compulsory monthly mention of Renown’s mysterious 1984 quote. I’ve seen some people theorise that it could allude to the rumoured Endor set next year. This is because the film “Battle of Endor” came out in 1984. Not directly based off the film of course, but it could be an allusion to the name of the set. Either way, we would really appreciate it if you could maybe please give us another clue for this one @Renown.

Marvel Jan sets have now leaked. Let’s hope that supes isn’t far behind.

50 Troopers is half a company I’d say. All Troopers are equal. But some Troopers are more equal than others. (In coolness) Exactly. Shall we put the ragtag rebel discussion to rest as in the end it comes down to our own personal preferences? Though it has been interesting. I’m now interested in how everyone does army building individually. I personally use the British Army ORBAT as reference. 4 Troops in a fire team, 2 fire teams in a section (squad), 3 sections in a platoon (plus support section made up of troops like artillery and scout troopers), 4 platoons in a company (though I haven’t made it that far) and eventually 4 companies in a battalion. Commandos like Death Troopers get individual fire teams, whilst Stormtroopers usually get assigned into larger platoons or sections. Does that make sense?

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.
