Darth_Bane13

I don't understand how people dislike Andor, it is leagues above anything else Disney has done

I've always wondered what sets we could've gotten if Disney didn't buy Star Wars. Probably would've gotten a couple more years of clone wars sets and sets based off 1313 and the Darth maul video game, would've been a lot better than 5 years of sequel sets.

I think OT figures were generally the same from 2010 to 2013, it sorta bridged the gap between the classic and modern figures. In 2014 leg printing became the norm and we finally got an updated Chewie and Stormtrooper and the new Vader helmet would follow the next year.

I do have some nostalgia for the clone wars style but they just look weird next to realistic figures

Kind of annoying how the only Shaak Ti we have is a clone wars one

Plo koon is a playable character in the complete saga

Plo koon was in a lot of episodes of the clone wars though

I'm not really a fan of the large combined battle packs, when I was a kid battle packs were good small sets that I could convince my mom to buy when we were at the store. A $30 or $40 set is less of a purchase on a whim.

Yeah I don't think it needs to be a permanent theme but a couple waves similar to 2008/2009 with some remakes and some new stuff would be cool. The original sets go for quite a lot now so I think there's a decent sized fanbase, and the 2023 sets we got seemed to be pretty popular.

true but my point stands, in 2010 we got a bunch of empire strikes back sets (granted it was the 30th anniversary), 2012/13 we got a bunch of Rotj sets, 2015 we got a bunch of TPM sets. nowadays we'll get a set like obi wans starfighter or the Sith infiltrator but kids wont have anything to pair it with.

I kind of miss when LEGO used to have a subtheme for a wave, like in 2013 we had a bunch of AOTC sets, or the rogue one waves in 2016/2017. The sets would just complement each other well and they'd have box art and commercials with the sets together which would encourage people to buy them all.

I see people say this a lot and I have the UCS X-wing however I haven't really noticed any of these stability issues, to be fair though I just keep mine on a shelf and don't touch it. perhaps I'll give mine a good swoosh and see what happens.

I really don't understand why LEGO wont make a full Indiana Jones wave, did they really sell that poorly?

is midi scale Kylo's shuttle the first real sequel set since 2020? I'm not a fan of the sequels but its cool for those who are.

Genuine question, does anyone here actually like all the buildable characters were getting? I was fine with getting around 1 per year but they're overdone now in my opinion.

I think he means that all the true fans of Star Wars know the name of the ship, and no amount of retconning Disney tries to do matters because it is the canon and legends name of the ship. Frankly I think the whole name debate is ridiculous because I've never seen anyone get offended at it, and if you are then I don't even know what to say...

Yeah that's fair and I understand I'm in the minority here, but I do care about the plaque a bit and it'd likely bring the set down a point for me personally.

Because it's ridiculous they've stopped using the name "slave 1", and if I'm spending $240 on it I want the product to be accurate including the plaque. Also I already own the 2015 UCS slave 1 so I'm on the fence about purchasing the new one anyway.

If they put "Jango Fetts Starship" on the plaque I'm not buying it.

Its sad because I feel like a lot of us here like LEGO for the playsets. LEGO seems to think adult collectors just want display only type sets which I guess is true for some, but a lot of fans like LEGO as a toy that's able to be played with.

I wonder if part of the problem is that kids aren't into star wars as much anymore. The only Star Wars content that has released in Disney era that was well received and popular/mainstream was The Mandalorian and the Force awakens, and the latter released nearly a decade ago. I think Marvel is much more popular with kids these days, if you look at box office numbers its pretty clear which is more liked.

I know its kind of cliche to complain about Lego star wars prices at this point but I swear these past couple years have gotten insane. yeah people have always complained about Lego's prices even back in the day but it just seems so blatant now. Jedi starfighter prices have literally risen $5 a year since 2022, and helmet prices increasing by $10 after we the last ones were only $70, along with the countless other sets this year which are overpriced. personally I will vote with my wallet and stop buying these overpriced sets and id encourage you to do the same if you feel likewise.

I think the actual build is great but the price and the lack of sarlacc pit/desert skiff, and some minor inaccuracies on the figures kinda brings the set down for me.

too much ketamine

I thought it was odd they made the standard tie and tie bomber in a smaller scale and then made the new tie interceptor in scale with the 2018 solo tie fighter, I find the 2023 interceptor looks a bit weird next to the bomber.
