CloneCommando99 replied to MKJoshA's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Yeah. That’s why I find it so frustrating when there are canon vehicles that would be perfect for a battlepack but Lego doesn’t make them. (Imperial army Crowd Control Speeder from Andor S1 finale comes to mind) Speaking of Non-canon, Lego should try to make a legends set every so often. -

Bruh. I bet that it was replaced by the 501st battlepack. Damn you Mandr!!!! I would imagine maybe we get a UCS slave 1 in 2026 at the earliest. Hopefully we get our boy Bly at some point but I would rather get some standard imperial army builders before any more clones. I actually don’t see Lego changing anything from the previous design of Kashyyyk Scout troopers (except for maybe swapping the helmet for the imperial one) as since they don’t have conventional clone armour and therefore they are pretty much immune (IMO) from the 2020 clone revamp. Oh, on another note thanks to the Poster GWP being revealed, Flesh-tone Jedi Bob has leaked. And what’s even more interesting is that there was a Nien Nunb on the poster. With every single other figure but those two having been one that was previously made. Could Nien Nunb be in the young Leia set?! -

UCS Tie Interceptor leaked. It looks really good and has an excellent rounded design. However I am disappointed with only 1 Tie Pilot figure and a mouse droid. I feel like they could have included an imperial officer (like Moff Jerjerrod) or, unlikely but I would have loved it, the Second Sister. -

Ok on another note…. If the Young Leia set is indeed a creature build that has not been recognised by the leakers, could it possibly be a Legends based set? There’s a 99% chance it isn’t but it’s always a possibility. Also, if he does come with one, which Poncho do you guys hope Cal Kestis will have. I would hope he comes with two: the Default Poncho and the Pink Poncho. -

Just for fun… and I know it’s a bit early but… What are your current predictions for the 2025 winter wave. Will we get another $30 battle-pack? Another $20 battlepack? Will we get a larger January wave than this year? Will March pretty much have the same release format? I would really like to know your thoughts. After all, the Winter sets of a year quite often have relation to the sets of the previous summer wave. (For example: 2023 CG gunship and the shock trooper that was in the Clone Vs droid battlepack) -
Wishlist: Future Star Wars Sets and Minifigures

Iconic Capital Ships that Lego hasn’t made as UCS, midi-scale or play scale as of yet. This is purely my wishlist. UCS Lucrehulk (£299.99): Nute Gunray and Admiral Trench. (Build is in scale with the recent invisible hand.) Acclamator class assault ship (£129.99): Yoda, Clone Navy officer, 2 P1 clone troopers, P1 Clone captain and P1 clone Lieutenant. Victory-Class star destroyer (£119.99): Mara Jade, Warlord Zsinj, 2 stormtroopers, Admiral Daala and 2 crewmen. ISD Chimera (£149.99): Legends Thrawn, Jorus C’baoth, Ezra Bridger, 2x 7th fleet stormtroopers, tactical Red-Guard and Captain Pallaeon. (Based off both canon and legends) Interdictor Class Star Destroyer (£119.99): Commander Sato, Commander Titus Bromm, Agent Kallus, 2 stormtroopers (disguised Rex and Kanan) and an imperial Gunner. Midi-Scale Home One (£69.99) Any other capital ships you guys would like to see? -
Good point. They could make a mech with Guy Gardner. However I believe it would be a missed opportunity as Kyle Rayner is the GL who frequently makes mech and kaiju constructs. He’s basically a massive nerd who got a GL ring thus making him one of my favourite DC characters. However it would be ironic and funny if a Kyle Rayner set did get fridged. IYKYK. In short, I believe in Kyle Rayner and Hal Jordan supremacy.

The Plot thickens. As everyone’s favourite ketamine frog once said: “If into the security recordings you go, only stupid you will find.” Since you appear to be asking for wish lists and whatnot, here’s my predictions for DCU sets (If Superman does well next year) 2026 The Authority (I hope this is replaced with another thing like Teen Titans or Green Lantern Corps): No sets as they’re unknown and hyper violent characters. Peacemaker S2: no sets 2027 Brave and Bold: 3-5 sets each one including Batman and another member of the Batfamily. Lanterns: 1 comic-based tie in set with Hal Jordan, John Stewart and Sinestro. (I feel like this has better chance than the other shows as Green Lantern is a iconic member of the Justice League) 2028 Supergirl Woman of Tomorrow (I honestly think this slot should be taken by a Wonder Woman film): 2-3 sets. Teen Titans: 2-3 sets and a Titans tower as that year’s D2C Superheroes Modular . Booster Gold: Maybe 1 set. (I could see them maybe instead doing him in a minifigure pack with other TV show characters like Peacemaker.) Beyond Swamp Thing, Waller and Creature Commandos are definitely not getting sets. This seem accurate? Or am I stupid? Let me know if I missed any projects out.

Wishlist: Future Star Wars Sets and Minifigures
CloneCommando99 replied to MKJoshA's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Yeah I agree that rebel battlepacks aren’t that interesting. The idea of the rebels is that they’re, for the most part, militant civilians so are supposed to look like rag-tag fighters and therefore can, at least the human ones, be made from a mix and match of minifigure parts and a gun. As opposed to the imperial stormtroopers they fight against as stormtroopers have a specific uniform, thus stormtroopers should receive priority in battlepacks over the rebels. I do like your alien rebel ideas though. -

CloneCommando99 replied to MKJoshA's topic in LEGO Star Wars
Excellent ideas. But should we consider First Order and Resistance packs…….. Hell No. They wouldn’t sell well anyway. Now let’s get a criminal underworld starter pack. With Boba Fett, Dengar, Hondo and then a bunch of pirates and thugs. Build being a pirate tank and a fortified section of Jabba’s palace. Unfathomably based with the Executor bridge set idea. (Though I could see it more as being a Diorama.) -

I think that you got them all. However one more OT era capital ship that should be made is the Interdictor class star destroyer. On another note, I’ve been researching Star Wars Legions recently and been thinking that it would be absolutely dope if Lego started a Star Wars table top war game series. Even if not, Lego should do some sort of faction starter pack series on top of battlepacks to make it easier for kids to have a starting amount of Troops. Imperial Starter Pack: 4-8 stormtroopers, 2 heavy troopers, 2 scout troopers, 1 stormtrooper commander and Vader. Small imperial bunker build and speeder bike. (Comes with stat cards for each unit.) Rebel Starter Pack: 4-8 Rebel Endor commandos, 2 fleet troopers, 2 Battlefront 2 rebel heavy troopers, Han Solo and Luke Skywalker. Battlefront supply camp build and speeder bike. Republic Starter Pack: 4-8 P1 clone troopers, 2 P1 clone heavy troopers, 2 Arf Troopers, P1 Commander Cody and Armoured General Kenobi. Minifigure scale AT RT and Barc speeder builds with a small battlefront 2 republic field station (cargo crates and command post) Droids don’t need one as they are in great quantity when included in other sets. This a good idea or should my cooking license be revoked? -
Just for fun, seeing that we all want Lego to make more comic-based sets that are not entirely Batman focused, which Hero/ comic run do you guys think has the most set potential? Here are my Top 3: 1) Green Lantern (some creator sets for each lantern corps would be cool as then you can make and customise your constructs) 2) Forever Evil (has the potential to create some pretty good duel packs with the Hero (e.g. Superman) and their Earth 3 counterpart (e.g. Ultraman) 3) Justice League vs Godzilla (yes I know that this a current run, but the concepts are so cool, we could get: The Bat titan mech, The Batwing Mech, Buildable King Kong Beast Boy, the Green Lantern Titan Mech and so many of the heroes and villains that show up in the comic.

As someone who has loved and been obsessed with Star Wars since my father introduced me to it when I was 4 I whole heartedly agree. This next bit I know that I may be coming off as 🤓 so my apologies but I feel I need to say it. Clones are great, this is coming from someone who adores the Clone Wars and loves the Bad Batch, but they’re canonically only a part of galactic history for around 5 years, and mostly only fighting on specific outer-rim worlds. (all the coloured P2 legions for only 2 of them.) Stormtroopers on the other hand are present throughout the entirety of the galaxy for an expanse of 30 years. The vast majority of live-action Star Wars content has featured them. This allows kids, like I for one did, who want to keep their battles from contradicting canon, to have breathing space and let their imaginations run wild with the events that could happen. I wasn’t able to easily amass even a squad of stormtroopers back then and now that I have the funds to I want Lego to make a normal stormtrooper battlepack so that I and kids who feel the same as me will have an easier time of building up their imperial garrisons. Even rebels aren’t as versatile as the generic stormtrooper as their uniforms kept changing over the period of the galactic civil war. The only rebel variant that even gets a mile close to the imperial stormtrooper in versatility is the rebel fleet trooper but even they are only around for 10 years. Once again, my apologies if that bored you guys and made me sound 🤓. I wouldn’t say that Solid Brix is the problem. I feel that Mandr and LifeBricks are the bigger perpetrators with this issue. I personally blame Mandr for the toxicity of the community towards modern clones. For crying out loud, the helmet holes aren’t the end of the world! -

There’s a bunch of cool extremely common storm trooper variants that could include more variety such as your mention of the incinerator trooper: Flame-trooper, Heavy trooper, scout trooper, Vader’s fist trooper, Shock trooper or even a stormtrooper commander would be some variety. However if there was a battlepack with 4 of the same trooper it would be stormtroopers as we usually see them patrol in squads of 4. But despite my desire to expand my generic imperial forces. There are some battlepacks that would be cool. 1) Imperial army trooper battlepack, 2) Night Trooper battlepack, 2) TK trooper Battlepack, Purge Trooper battlepack (most unlikely as Lego won’t do FO sets), imperial commando battlepack. If Lego won’t do a full imperial stormtrooper battlepack I’d prefer Imperial Army to Night-troopers as the IA are more common and thus more versatile in Mocs and play for kids. As opposed to the night-troopers who so far have only been seen on one area of one planet. -

That is exactly why I don’t see night troopers being in a battle-pack rather than 2 or more showing up in a much larger set where Lego would justify the multiple printing costs a bit more. Once again, we need a normal stormtrooper battlepack before we get any more special variants, night troopers are cool but normal stormtroopers are more predominant in all content and therefore should be more accessible in quantity to kids than they have been in the last two years. I too would prefer the Death-Star playset to be more focused on generic imperial military personnel. However since the inclusion of named characters is inevitable, I’m just hoping that they are ones that are desirable. I also do agree that we need a normal stormtrooper battle pack so we can easily garrison the upcoming Death Star playset. -

Yeah, I could see that with Lego’s laziness recently. But if we did get Sloane again I would hope that it would be her grand admiral variant. Or at least, if they use the same uniform, have a new female officer cap with hair bun mould. Yularen would be great to get. However unlikely as he was an exclusive May 4th promo in 2015. I still would love it if they did give us Yularen. Also an excellent suggestion. Once again I would love to see any of these imperial army and Navy commanders. And I could see them having a decent chance of happening. Tagge and Motti more than Romodi. That is a pretty good prediction, I think it will end up being something like that but with one less figure (ideally Leia). Lego could kill two birds with one stone by making Han and Luke double as the stormtroopers for the set. As TBH a Death Star set without Stormtroopers would be weird and feel devoid of a proper garrison. -

Nah. We’ve been waiting for one based off Rebels for almost a decade now. A Security gunship with 7th fleet stormtroopers (printed pauldron) is the way to go. However I would also love it if the did one based off peridia but with a normal stormtrooper battlepack coinciding with it. Just out of interest, who do you guys think is the most obscure imperial officer (or trooper) who has a good chance of being in the Death-Star playset? -

I would prefer it if they saved the Patrol Gunship for an imperial army builder set with generic stormtroopers or shocktroopers. My honest prediction for the Battle on Peridia is that it’s going to be the rune stones at the top of the tower and a buildable wolf. Maybe with a under-chamber with the holomap. (As then Thrawn and Enoch would make sense.)
