I know right. GL is arguably has the best mythos out of all of DC’s franchises. And thanks to the unlimited possibilities of GL constructs it probably has the most set potential, behind Batman of course. In Brightest Day, In Blackest Night No Evil Shall Escape my Sight Let Those Who Worship Evil’s Might Beware My Power Green Lantern’s Light! I mean what’s not awesome about having a ring that can create anything from your imagination. Thanks for the recap. I haven’t been keeping up with Turtle lore. Huh. I forgot about Luigi’s pizzeria. It’s been so long. But yes, I think we can all agree that we are all cautiously optimistic for Turtle’s character next season. Especially with what the writer’s have been setting up the last few weeks. Bring on the villain arc!

I’m sorry. What? Context please. If this is about number of sets, Superman isn’t coming until 2025 so of course it isn’t getting sets. Things I’d like to see sets based off: 1) Young Justice 2) GL comics (Geoff Johns run specifically) 3) Justice League vs Godzilla. (The mechs in that are awesome) 4) Forever Evil. (Minifig packs. One JL hero, their JLA equivalent and their Earth 3 counterpart.)

My thoughts exactly. Me to Lego after the Andor Season 1 finale: I had literally the same reaction as you when I saw it. Like why didn’t we get that?! When so many non-canon vehicles are made for battlepacks (for example: minature Av7, Riot control walkers and that weird air speeder (from the 2018 clone and jedi BP)) why is it that when a canon army-buildable vehicle that is battlepack sized shows up in arguably the better pieces of content Lego doesn’t seize the opportunity. It just baffles me. Also on the subject of Andor and Rogue One… where is the Tie Reaper Lego?!! It’s been almost 10 years since its first appearance. I need it for the DT squad! When was the last imperial troop dropship? It must have been the 2021 Imperial Shuttle. We need something new to land our imperial forces into drop-zones. (Please be a Tie Reaper.) Idea: Lego makes an imperial remnant battlepack. Figs: 2 Night Troopers (1 with grey face plate) and 2 normal Stormtroopers. That way everyone’s happy.

I think an all stormtrooper battlepack makes more sense than having four of the same figures factions because: A) We often see stormtroopers in squads of four. B) The empire is iconic for its sense of uniformity hence why none of the stormtroopers have custom armour markings. Believe me there’s a bunch of specialised troopers I’d want: Incinerator Trooper, Army Trooper, Vader’s Fist trooper, Magma trooper, FO Scout Trooper, Jump trooper (and commander variant), Purge Trooper and a stormtrooper commander. That being said I feel like the 2022 snow trooper battlepack nailed the exact format for what an imperial BP should be (3 grunt troopers and a specialised variant) My ideal version is 3 stormtroopers and a stormtrooper Commander (pauldron that consists of printing across torso and cloth like Rex has) An incinerator trooper instead of a commander would be great though. Here’s hoping for a stormie BP in 2025 to Celebrate Rebel’s 10th and ESB’s 45th anniversaries. The minimum stormtroopers a stormtrooper battlepack should have is 2.

Yeah. In short most people probably don’t know about bricklink let alone 9 year olds. Is Amazon getting an exclusive every year now? Last year there was the Ghost and this year there’s the ISD. I’m wondering when we get more news on the R2 KT set.

May I suggest a battle of Felucia instead of Kamino (£54.99): Commander Bly, Aayla Secura, 2x 327th troopers 2x B1 droid and 2x B2RP droid. (Builds are a Remake of 2005 republic Swamp Speeder and a Corporate Alliance tank droid.) I love the anniversary figure though, so keep that please. Instead of Exogol maybe a Fortress inquisitorius play-set at that price. 2 Purge Troopers, 2nd Sister, 5th Sister, Obi-Wan Kenobi (2nd half of season appearance) and Special Anniversary figure: Warlord Zsinj. Build is a underwater hallway with a command station and torture room on each end. (Kenobi breaking glass function is included.) I love all of those. But I would prefer a Anakin’s Jedi interceptor mech so we can have a Bumblebee look-alike to go with this year’s Star-scream look alike.

I really don’t think there’s that many 9 year olds and parents who actually know about Bricklink. I’m pretty sure the average parent/ kid buys the full set off Lego.com or Amazon instead of separate minifigs and parts off Bricklink. Also if kids are experiencing ever shrinking amounts of pocket money isn’t it a good business move by Lego to have a cheap set with the type of Troopers, in this case stormtroopers, that they want? But I might be mistaken. I don’t doubt whether a kid could navigate Bricklink, but whether they’ve actually heard about it. Speaking of Bricklink, have you guys seen that the scalpers have been buying up all the BD-1 figures. Annoying, but a damn good business move on their part due to Cal being the ISD.

It’s made by Bruce Timm isn’t it. Oh boy we know what that means for the bat-fam dynamic. IYKYK.

The Primary Purpose of Battlepack is to let kids build their armies. That true objective is what people may have lost sight of since AFOL’s started army building in absurd quantities. Let me put it this way. Kids don’t have the funds to buy multiples of the ISD, Tantive or Mech. These same kids are going to at least want to have a squad of (4) stormtroopers. Therefore a Battlepack is in their best interests. Counterpoint: clones are included in many normal sets every year, they are easy to get, how come they still need to get battlepacks? I can’t believe I have to remind you of this, but the vast majority of kids don’t have access to bricklink, thus Lego needs battlepacks. We’ve had enough clone battlepacks, granted they aren’t phase 1, but I’m getting tired of all the clones at this point. A stormtrooper battlepack would allow kids to build up their forces so they can actually have decent security for their make-believe imperial facility or have the numbers for their rebel base assault. Fair enough. Yeah. I may have been spitballing with the AT TE and 501st battlepack (except they are the same faction.) I was just putting out a fun theory. Yep. Also 2025 would be the 10th Anniversary of Rebels. (An unlikely celebration I know but the last completely Stormtrooper battlepack was a Tie-in for Rebels in 2015) Anyway I severely hope for a Stormtrooper battlepack in 2025 because I’d like to try and get half a platoon (16 troops, two squads of 8 and 4 fireteams of four (British Army style)) of one variant of Stormtrooper before they change the design again. I would love to see that. But tbh I would prefer to have 3 stormtroopers and 1 stormtrooper heavy trooper. With the build being an imperial checkpoint. (I want to get an imperial occupation MOC going) It would also allow kids to have an imperial base of sorts. Something that I think lots of kids would want. Those are probably the only clones left that would actually be reasonable for Lego to make. And I would love those.

Seeing that Lego’s making a film featuring Star Wars meme characters such as Darth Jar Jar and Jedi Bob… How long until we get a Lego Movie with Man and Luigi?

Yep. (An extra stormtrooper would have been nice though.) I would have preferred a DS playset but I’m very happy with what we got in the end. I understand most of the criticism (lack of BD-1 for one thing as well as Cal not having a Poncho, but his face appears to be really detailed with the scarring so i guess that’s a redeeming quality) but I genuinely think the ISD is over-hated. Mostly because the leaks set everyone’s expectations too high. On another note. I’ve noticed a pattern over the last couple of years. If a faction gets a big set in the 2HY they usually get a battlepack in the next 1HY. 2021: UCS AT AT was followed by the 2022 Snowtrooper battlepack. 2022: 212th AT TE was followed by the 2023 501st battlepack. 2023: Coruscant Guard gunship was followed by the 2024 Clone Vs droid battlepack. Therefore Gentlemen, I’m probably off my rocker with this theory, but if this supposed pattern continues there are two options for the 2025 January BP (this is purely speculation on my part). A) A Imperial Stormtrooper battlepack (due to this summer’s ISD, and it could be a tie-in for Andor) Or B) A P1 Clone Trooper battlepack (Due to the Dark Falcon being based of “Rebuild The Galaxy”) I know that I’m probably spitballing with this theory, and it’s purely speculation based off past and present trends, but I think it’s a fun theory nonetheless. What do you guys think?

Same here. A minifigure pack with Supes, Hawkgirl and Guy would be awesome.

We thought it was a Death Star playset back when it was rumoured to be $80 though. They could easily do a couple rooms of the Death Star at that price. A ISD playset is something Lego would have wanted to make expensive by default. Anyway. How do we even know whether the Peridia set is real? Do we even know whether the R2 KT set is going to include 3 rebel troopers and 3 stormtroopers? The ISD reveal has changed the situation. But working with what we still have, i’m hoping that the R2 KT set is a Tantive hallway extension with the escape pod room and a Hot Tub (a nod to the Lego games).

I rewatched the Trailer. I noticed that the Ewok Y-Wing’s base model has an unprecedented use of nose tiling. Thus hinting that this is a new model. I might be wrong but I compared it to all the other past playscale Y-Wings and none of them utilise this brick formation on their noses. Is the Young Leia set a Y-Wing? Or did we just get a tease for a 2025 set. Of course I could be wrong. It might be the UCS Y-Wing though, but the underside has a bit jutting out and the stud distance between the cockpit and front is a bit less.

One problem. The Young Leia set is a whole £20 less than the coruscant guard gunship. People complained about last year’s gunship being too small and that was pretty much minifigure scale. Why do so many of you think this is possible?! Edit: @Mandalorianknight if I caused, albeit accidentally and unwittingly, that Mon Calamari “leak” with my little rebel AT AT joke suggestion, then I’m very sorry about that. Not my intent at all. It was purely a suggestion.

Actually I think @Renown’s 1984 hint was referring to this. The quote refers to the end of the book when Winston has been brainwashed from being a rebel of sorts into being compliant with Big Brother and the Party. I believe the 1984 quote was referring to how the Characters in “Rebuild The Galaxy” will have changed affiliations. Much like Winston did due to his torture at the hands of the “Thought Police.” I agree with you. I would have loved to build a large imperial facility using DS playsets as a foundation. (God I would love a modular Endor Bunker) Imperial bases are probably the most set worthy locations in Star Wars. You lot are really hating on the ISD far too much. It’s not its fault the Leakers got the set and minifigure count wrong. I do agree it has some flaws. (Lack of BD-1 for instance) The people who say it’s worse than 2014 because it’s shorter don’t see the big picture. With its lost length it makes up for it with its far superior detailing. The interior, at the back at least, has far more depth than 2014. I can understand not liking it. But some people are being really over-negative because of the expectations the Leakers set. Overall I would say it’s a solid 9/10 set. And could arguably be the best in the August Wave. (Especially looking at those RTG sets minifig lists.) Young Leia now has the chance to be a cool set. Though I still doubt it.

Welp. It doesn’t look like there’ll be price decreases any time soon. Oh well it looks like I’ll be buying it on Lego.com full price alongside the R2 KT set to get VIP points. It’s £150, a bit steep in conversion but the price per piece is better than other sets. I still think it’s the best looking ISD we’ve ever gotten (on the exterior at least) On the topic of LSW specials. Anyone else hope that an adult Rowan Freemaker and Jek-14 show up here? I loved Yoda Chronicles and Freemaker Adventures. Also are there any chances of Lego making other ships such as Venators, Acclamators, Victories and Light cruisers in scale with the ISD? It would be great to build a fleet escort.

No it’s really more of a Joke. But then again we don’t see evil Chewie, C3P0 or Vader in the trailer either. It’s good to see that you’re back Falcon. @icm Yes. but Freemakers only got two at one time per season. I meant that this is the most we’ve gotten for one special/ season to tie-in with its release.

Rebel At At with Clone Troopers and Evil Ackbar when?!

If the trailer tells us anything.. there’s a chance that the X-Wing and Tie set may also come with P1 Clone troopers. I need Jedi Bob vs Darth Jar Jar to be the climatic battle. A Duel of the Memes if you will.

The X-Wing vs Tie is also based on this. I don’t think we’ve ever gotten this many sets to tie-in with a Lego original SW property before.

With the reveal of the new ISD (Looks phenomenal imo) I have a couple of set ideas for 2025 that could relate to it. Imperial Fleet battlepack (£18.99): 2 stormtroopers, an imperial crewman and a Death Star trooper. Build would be command centre. Or Imperial patrol battlepack (£18.99): 3 stormtroopers and 1 heavy stormtrooper. Build would be an imperial checkpoint. (Has Modular function so that with multiples they can be configured into an imperial forward operating base. Tie Defender (£54.99): Governor Pryce, Agent Kallus and Vult Skerris. MIDI scale Venator class star destroyer (£79.99): is in scale with upcoming ISD playset and has colour customisation feature (can easily be swapped between republic and imperial loadout) MIDI scale Victory Class star destroyer (£54.99): In scale with ISD playset. Sentinel class imperial shuttle (£99.99): Thrawn, 2 death troopers, 2 7th fleet stormtroopers, Ezra Bridger (Rebels S4) and a shuttle pilot.

I honestly quite like Damian. But I’m a Tim Drake supremacist myself. (Dick wiped the floor with both of them but he’s better as Night Wing) But yes. The more I see of Turtle the more I think that he is a master strategist on par with Grand Admiral Thrawn and Lex Luthor. (if you are not a SW fan and don’t know who the former is) He’s carefully calculated and predicted our every move. He is in full control of the battlefield.

My thoughts on the Star Destroyer. Pros: 1, The exterior look clean. 2, The officer is a new rank and character. 3, Crewmen and Death Star troopers who haven’t been seen for 5 years are included. 4, Cal has a unique face print that captures his scars really well. 5, The interior at the back is nice and deep. (It also looks clean) there’s also a nice battle hologram. 6, The handle is concealed which is a excellent feature. Cons: 1, Cal Kestis doesn’t even come with BD-1, a poncho or arm printing! (I swear they spent only gave Fives arm printing because it was already used on Rex. They obviously spent all the cloth budget on Fives and Saw!) He should at the very least come with BD-1 or a Holocron. 2, Only six figures (granted this is the norm but the Leakers really spoiled it for me they could have at least included another stormtrooper or crewman. (Stormtrooper is understandable though as there are 3 coming in the R2 KT set so you can make a patrol if you put the two together.)) 3, The bridge looks a little stripped down compared to the 2014 and FO star destroyers. Pros out-way the Cons and is easily my favourite set of the year. Sauce? I would love it if that’s the case. We need some more stormtroopers. Escape pod room and Hot-Tub based off the Lego games? (If so please let it include both stormtrooper armour and alternate swimsuit bodies) Agreed. However, as I stated before 3 stormtroopers are showing up in the R2 KT set. We usually see 4 troopers in a patrol. I still don’t see why they couldn’t have included either: another crewman, Death Star Trooper, Stormtrooper or even a reused Rae Sloane. There is one good thing about the ISD being this small, I’m still going to buy it because I still think it looks phenomenal and I can put my Endor commando poncho on Cal, and that is a MIDI-scale Venator which is quite likely next year IMO could easily be in scale with the ISD. Anyway, all in all, it’s an excellent build and figure selection IMO. I think we were just let down by the Leakers. I now eagerly await R2 KT set news and January 2025 rumours. (Please let there be a stormtrooper battlepack!)
