Impressive. Most impressive.

Earlier today I was thinking that surely there couldn’t be another collector’s set instead of a play-set in the January wave. But then r/legostarwarsleaks had to pull this on me. Another Midi-scale ship is coming. I reckon that it’s either going to be a Ghost or a Imperial Venator (could be in scale with the new ISD)

Yeah I agree. I’d say that getting the right rank plaque is more important than the code cylinders. Especially as that’s what makes most imperial officers recognisable. Not the small little pens that are barely noticeable. It seems to be a no-brainer. Maybe the reason why we haven’t gotten one yet is because Lego got rid of the death trooper mould? Though then again, they do have the assets available to make purge troopers and storm commandos so that might not be it. Fair enough. I guess that the earliest we could see a Tie Defender from is 2026/27, since Thrawn will probably start up production on them again now that he’s back. A Tie Defender vs New Republic A-Wing set with Zeb and Thrawn could double as a Mando-verse and Rebels set therefore enticing two markets at once. Unrelated I know, but does anyone else hope that Eli Vanto, Commodore Karyn Faro and the Chiss Ascendancy will have some roles to play in the upcoming Heir to the Empire movie? I finished reading the canon Thrawn and Thrawn Ascendancy trilogies a few weeks ago (they are phenomenal btw) and want to see them in Live-Action. (It would be funny if at the start of the Heir to the Empire movie Thrawn says: “Imperial Remnant? What a Joke.” And takes his and Pellaeon’s Fleet back with him to the Chiss Ascendancy to fight the Grysks.)

The streets of Billund will run yellow with melted plastic tonight!

I also think a Tie Reaper would be an excellent set. It’s been a while since we had a bad guy assault shuttle from Lego. Make it a special forces orientated set and it would be extremely popular with AFOLs and Kids.

Right. Every year there seems to be at least one Tie Fighter variant in play-scale form (most years anyway) 2015: FO Tie Fighter and Tie Advanced 2016: Tie Advanced x1 and Tie Striker 2017: Tie Silencer 2018: Tie Fighter 2019: Major Vorang’s Tie Interceptor 2020: Tie Dagger 2021: Tie Fighter 2022: No Tie (the one anomaly of the last 10 years) 2023: Tie Bomber and Tie interceptor 2024: Tie Fighter 2025: ? What are your bets? Tie Defender or Vader’s Tie Advanced are the two most likely imo? The Tie Avenger is probably too similar in shape to the Tie interceptor to warrant a set unfortunately.

So judging by what everyone’s been saying, we need a tower of fate set including Mara Jade and a venom horse. Correct? Am I missing anything? I’d highly recommend watching the TV show on BBC or reading the books. They were honestly what really got me into history (the superior subject). It’s the best kind of educational kids show, funny and informative. (Coincidentally much like my later history teacher) If it’s marine biology you want to learn about… I would recommend another british kids show called Octonauts. My younger siblings used to watch it and it’s where the majority of my knowledge of sea creatures comes from. Glup Shitto is a distinguished veteran of the 42nd Butt-scratcher brigade.

@Big_Daddy Yes but there were still play-sets in March. In 2025 there don’t appear to be any. I know I may be overreacting though.

York is a wonderful city. Very nice bakeries and historical architecture there. As well as a most excellent Tabletop gaming shop. Obligatory song. Why is it that whenever a thread becomes an aslume there are british topics involved?! It starts with a “Tower of Fate,” Mara Jade or Venom Horse and then rapidly evolves into something that’s terrifyingly insane. That would actually be an excellent Marvel D2C. And then DC can have a modular Arkham or Daily Planet. (Or Oa!!!)

Venomized Luke’s Landspeeder will release shortly after that. But not before the Venomized Batmobile with Venomized Man and Anti-Venomized Jonkler. Iron Patriot Hulkbuster would slap though.

Why do I feel like there may be less than 10 normal Play-sets next year?

One of the reasons that 2013 was such a great year was because of an entire wave was dedicated to one battle. (IMO at least) I think that Lego should try to do this every 3-5 years. As it’s such a cool concept and a display of how interconnectivity between sets can work brilliantly. I’ve chosen 2 battles that I’d think would work well due to their variety of different vehicles and units. Battle of Jakku New Republic vs Imperial Forces Battlepack (£19.99): NR Sandtrooper (Pantoran), NR Navy Trooper (with satchel), Imperial Shocktrooper and a stormtrooper (tribal markings) Jakku AT ST (£44.99): Iden Versio, Shriv, Agent Hask and a AT ST pilot Phantom Squadron X-Wing (£44.99): Wedge Antilles, Temmin Wexley, Jas Emari and General Borrum Mister Bones’s Plaything (ITT) (£59.99): Mister Bones, Imperial Combat Driver, Stormtrooper Commander, 2 Stormtroopers, a scout trooper (dirtied) and a Shocktrooper. SpecForces U-Wing (£79.99): Jom Barell, 2 SpecForces Commandos, Rebel Pilot and a Damaged Stormtrooper. Imperial Shuttle (£99.99): Norra Wexley, Gallius Rax, Yupe Tashu, Commandant Hux and 2 Stormtroopers (one tribal and one damaged). The Ravager (£149.99): Moff Randd, Commodore Agate, 2 Stormtroopers, Admiral Versio, 2 Imperial Navy Ensigns and an Emperor’s Sentinel. (Includes a mini-build of a Starhawk) 2nd Battle of Geonosis Geonosis Clones Battlepack (£19.99): 2 212th ARF Troopers, 21st Flametrooper and a 21st Desert Trooper. Republic Y-Wing Vs Geonosian Starfighter (£109.99): Obi-Wan Kenobi, P1 Clone Trooper (212th), P1 Clone Pilot, P1 Commander Cody and a Geonosian Warrior. J-1 Proton Canon (£49.99): Commander Jet, Ki-Adi Mundi, Geonosian Warrior, Super Battledroid and 2 Battledroids. Republic Gunship (£139.99): Captain Rex, Ahsoka Tano, Anakin Skywalker, P1 Clone Pilot, P1 Clone Trooper and 2 Super battledroids. Republic AV-7 (£49.99): Commander Gree, Luminara Unduli, 41st Clone Trooper, P1 Clone Gunner and a Geonosian Warrior. Separatist Super Tank (£59.99): Bariss Offee, 41st Clone Trooper, Poggle The Lesser, Tactical Droid and 2 Super Battledroids. Anyone else agree with my general idea?

Look at you. What was it I said to you a mere matter of weeks ago when you were adamantly resisting us? Ah yes. “The Aslume comes for us all.” Welcome to the Brotherhood of Jonkling Inmates. Are we going to keep our insanity in the 2025 thread? I feel that we’ve passed the point of no return with our jonkling.

History CMF? A Horrible History CMF?!!!! Black Beard? George Washington? Admiral Nelson?! Henry VIII? Joan of Arc? Caligula? Elizabeth I/ II? Charles II?????!! King Tut? Of course! You’re only on the list because you went dark at the same time of Turtle’s, a confirmed conspirator, Banishment. Exactly!

Hopefully. I need to know if there are any more playsets coming. There’s still hope for the May wave. I am wondering what the May UCS will be and if it truly is the end for dioramas. And perhaps if the murmurings of a 2025 Ewok Village are true, we could see a remake of either the 2011 Endor Battlepack or the Endor Bunker to coincide with it. Andor and Rogue One would like a word. Andor is the only TV show so far that has had an increase in viewership as each episode released. I played the white Kessel Run “MILF”

Fear not my friend. It’s elementary my dear Watson. It is just a list I’m compiling of all those I suspect of being connected to the “Lack of DC sets” conspiracy and more importantly the severe lack of Star Wars Legends sets.

You know, I think we’re very likely to get a new A-Wing next year. It’s an iconic vehicle and the last one was in 2019.

If they did a series 2, I’m actually curious on how they’d do Batman and Wonder-woman. Superman would probably get his classic version. But Batman and WW got theirs last CMF. They’ll either go silver age or have some sort of elseworld/ one-off version. My ideal list of characters (updated): Kyle Rayner (with Bd’g accessory), Bleez (with Dextarr and wings accessories), Flashpoint Batman (Gun and a Joker calling card), Wally West, Captain Atom, Powergirl, Yara Flor, Batgirl (Stephanie Brown), Classic Superman, Classic Braniac, Joker (Painted Bat-suit) and Vixen.

So we should stop treating the kid’s toy company like a kid’s toy company? Because they’re making minor mistakes on *checks notes* a kid’s toy where the kids find it barely noticeable. On the other hand, I do partly agree with you when it comes to figs like Fox.

Yeah sorry it was the only image of the panel I could find.

Why GL would make great sets in one page: Unfortunately, since this is an elseworld, so they get brutally slaughtered 2 panels later. Why??! It’s not even 5 pages in. (At least Guy should still be alive (I hope))

Slave Leia, Jabba, Bib Fortuna, R2 D2, C3P0 a couple of Guards and our Lord and saviour Max Rebo. It’s extremely confusing. But really a Vice-Admiral like Sloane really should be called a Fleet Vice-Admiral. The Imperial Rank structure is riddled with contradictions. Honestly we need an ISD Bridge Diorama with a bunch of different ranks. Lieutenant, ISD Captain, Admiral, Fleet Admiral and Commodore are certain ranks that come to mind.
