Day #23 of asking Lego not to run a tank over the upcoming Clone Turbo Tank. Thanks again @Mandalorianknight for helping me out in these dark, troubled times. I don't know about your first world Lego problems, but due to the anticipation alone, it certainly ain't easy being a Clone fan right now. That and... Oh, it sounded like i was trying to state more than one reason.

Well, that didn't age all too well... fortunately. I absolutely second the desire for a modern Zam Wesell minifigure! It just looks... spectacular. Yep, now we only need new P1 Captain, Lieutenant and Sergeant figures.

For the asking price this high and the build allegedly this tiny... it better be. There has to be some sort of justification for the ludicrously low PPP. Ha, isn't that a kinda funny coincidence. Considering the smashing box office numbers, for everybody's sake, i hope not. Otherwise i would fear for the future of Lego Star Wars as a whole.

Even if i didn't keep track of all the verbs i use for that silly game... i know, i have not. Frankly, i never ever heard about the first two words. But thanks to you, i will use them in the coming days. That will bring me a little closer to my actual goal. Ha, no i was actually referencing Fives from TCW when he says that someday this war is going to end. Oh, please maker not another 84 501st Battle Packs. It's been like 84 years since we had anything else! Like i alluded to before, i think Lego forgot that Endor even exists. Where is the MBS Ewok Village, the Bunker, a Endor Trooper Battle Pack, an AT-ST (new UCS one might be based on that)? Cloud City is criminally underrepresented as well. Why can it ever so rarely get normal sets as well? Remake the 2003 classic, do a standalone Cloud Car... just do something with it! No actionism, something cool. Plus a regular Stormie. I think starting June is a good bet. However, if this piece-by-piece approach continues, leakers are gonna have a field day. Looks legit and looks good to me.

Well yeah... we did. But to me that does feel like ages ago. Right now, it feels like watching a two hour movie. You want to enjoy it, but can't. Because the pacing drags on and on and nothing really happens. And at the halfway point you think you have already watched like three hours. You still remember what happens up until that point, but you just want things to finally get going for real. Even though you know you don't have a lot of time left. How much longer until we have more 18+ and various other formats than actual system scale sets? It already feels kinda close this year.

Day #22 of asking Lego not to...sigh, i dunno, fork up the upcoming Clone Turbo Tank. Someday this news drought is going to end. Waiting for some leaks to happen has actually become more stressful (compared to merely watching and reading) now that i aspire to be an active forum member.

Well, hopefully we at least hear about anything else before that. Yeah, that was my "now a good time?" moment. As far as Lego was concerned, it was not the right time. Or in true Crab Droid fashion, they didn't even consider it. Yeah, i always thought the same thing. A new mould might not even be necessary. Oh, that's right. Definitely! Even the Shadow Trooper was made with the big bucket right away.

Did other Jedi generals, besides Anakin and Obi-Wan, wore full body armour during the clone wars? I usually just saw them in their standard robes (and heck yeah, she was). I think, they already did. Which would be clearly a case of overcompensation on Lego's part. As the hate was just directed to some Battle Packs (most notably said set 75206), not bigger system scale sets with a broader minifigure line-up. The most recent BPs might have been this popular that they thought "hey, let's put Clones everywhere we possibly can". And yes... Wat Tambor would have been a amazing addition to the MTT. Eh, at this point, i don't really care a great deal for a Battlefront 3 from EA... or anything really from that company. I just hope they stick the landing for Jedi 3 and then i might be done with this publisher for good. The 2016 Battlefront Battle Packs on the other hand were so freaking cool (add me to the agreement alliance @CloneCommando99). They gave us some much needed diversity to army building for both the Empire and especially the Rebellion. Though i like my Imperial Shock Trooper the most. I will never understand why there was no Purge Trooper Battle Back based on Jedi Fallen Order. Timing-wise, it could have been released in the exact year when Lego decided to go on a BP hiatus. Day #21 of asking Lego not to terminate the upcoming Clone Turbo Tank.

This guy is just the worst. While appearances can be decieving, there are some people you just have to give a good look once to know who they are or what they are up to. In this case, being your average greedy YouTuber making stuff up and spreading fake info, in order to capitalize on ignorant fans excitement. Too many people out there are thirsty for more news, myself included every now and then, so they fall for these stupid clickbait thumbnails/titles. Only to realize after a few seconds it's a whole lot of nothing and purely based on speculation and wishlisting. Thanks for reminding me that i am in too deep in the algorithm and need to block that channel and a fair few others as well. Day #20 of asking Lego not to misjudge the upcoming Clone Turbo Tank.

I fundamentally agree with everything you just said. Like implied, the possibilities between old minifigure remakes and brand new characters are nearly endless. And yes, given Lego's tendency to prioritize Clone Troopers over anything else, going back to the topic that TCW overkill doesn't necessarily mean PT fans are eating good as well, we are indeed off to a good start this year. I am already so happy with the incredibly improved Plo Koon head mould... it's just a thing of beauty. Getting more Jedi again should extend to receiving more main characters as well. Even there, things got better by now. The last couple years we got the most detailed version of Mace Windu yet, finally a modern, non TCW rendition of both Palpatine and Padme, the best Qui-Gon and an unfortunate looking Darth Maul. This year we already got TCW Anakin and Ahsoka, while TCW Kenobi and Ventress are on the way. Now Lego needs to find and count on the Dooku button somewhere in their office again. As far as the Master Builder Series format goes... I would already be satisfied if Lego would actually do something with it again in the first place. Except if it's not to my liking, then I don't care.

And maybe some day... you will admire the minifigure of said fictional character. After the surprising Darth Malak inclusion from last year, i am inclined to say that anything is possible at this point. Add it to the list of Jedi minifigures Lego has never done... yet. Not necessarilly an acusation, more of a observation. Day #19 of asking Lego not to bugger the upcoming Clone Turbo Tank.

Nor did they serve under Yarael Poof, Yaddle or Oppo Rancisis. Oh shoot, you can't say it that way? I mean arguable most attractive Jedi alive up until, well, she got blasted 66 times during Order 66. The new pauldron piece is already marked as fake. That's the least thing we need right now. Drip feeding everything is tiresome, but you get there eventually. While fake leaks are just the worst, no matter how you slice it.

Yeah, everyone wants to be seen or heard for different reasons. Like i said, i totally understand this mentality. I wanna see the whole thing now, too. I just urge to see the full picture as well. Ha, if you couldn't tell, i was being super saracstic about it. The blah blah blah part actually happened recently. Day #18 of asking Lego not to defile the upcoming Clone Turbo Tank. I am under the impression i got the easier game going on. Yet i am slightly worried i am running out of fitting verbs, before this thing is either fully leaked or offically confirmed. It might not just be the top of any helmet, but the helmet of one of the killers of arguably the most attractive Jedi alive.

Yeah, i can definitely see where you are coming from. I don't like this desperation for seeking attention for social media fame either. It always reminds me that you can do the right things for the wrong reasons. Still glad what we are getting. Surely better than all those stupid fake leaks. Other than that, i dunno what you are talking about. I would love to finally experience people's perspective on all the things you just mentioned. But until they share their thoughts, everything is shrouded in complete mystery.

While i understand the annoyance that comes with drip feeding things and would most definitely be fine without it, we should be thankful to even get these frequent leaks in the first place. Otherwise this thread would be a off-topic wasteland, as we would have a whole lot less to talk about. Here's hoping there will be a more steady flow of leaks soon.

That's good news indeed. Makes getting only two minifigs more bearable and adds some much needed value to the set. I kinda want this even more now. Just make it a pure Separatist set at this point, like the AT-TE was for the Galactic Republic. But that's obviously too late at this point. Stil not too late for a surprising Wat Tambor inclusion, though! Until Lego comes to their senses regarding videogame coverage again, the only way to experience more Jedi Survivor is to actually play it all over again. That double platinum trophy (if anyone in here is aware of PSN trophies) isn't gonna be earned by itself. The Cal Kestis minifigure will watch my every move.

Thanks, will do. And i will bring it in warm. Even though i am kinda prone to warm temperatures. Well yeah, it would obviously be highly overpriced, like much more expensive than buying a whole CMF in sorted order. But as things stand right now, this might be the only way to get it done. And if the execution is just right, even the build could be something noteworthy, it could go a long way. Imagine a dozen or 16 most wanted minifigures all in one set... I would like to see them try. Just don't make it a Lego shop exclusive. I know. During my childhood, at our local store, you could buy these weekly released Star Wars Magazines called Fact Files. Each one contained different topics like droids, planets, vehicles etc. The thing was, you could actually take out individual pages from the articles to continually build up your ultimate collection folder. It was pretty neat. Since the internet was still rather limited back then, i learned a lot about the expanded universe in there, including Mara Jade Skywalker. She was a real badass. Like a very well written character. Unlike many female characters by today's standards. Day #17 of asking Lego not to disgrace the upcoming Clone Turbo Tank.

Oh, i gotta clarify, i merely meant from Lego's point of view. Of course, depending on personal preferences, it still might matter to the consumer side of things. However, if your inner purist monk allows it, you could still put the CTT in your ROTS collection, regardless of box branding. Yes, i agree on that. Commando Droids should only be included at the expense of some generic B1s, not swapped out for more valuable characters. If all you get is just Clankers, i would at least want one of them to be a Commander Battle Droid.

That would be amazing and about time. Well, by that logic the Commando Droids wouldn't be included in the ROTS based 327th BP either, right? Or it won't matter at all, because Lego tends to mix and match figures and locations how they see fit anyways. And chances are all these sets (CTT/MTT/327BP) will have TCW branding, as Lego always does this when clones are included. Which, of course, wouldn't rule out additional 20th ROTS anniversary design on the package (like the 501st BP with TCW box art and 20th anniversary CW logo). So yeah, i can see all possible scenarios. The most important thing is their long overdue comeback.

Ha, okay, that's just pure comedy gold. Makes me feel right at home even further. Mon Mothma's or Maarva's monologue might be solid contenders regarding more Andor material. Here i am, preparing the inevitable anti-acceptance speech (that even a thing?) for the upcoming Clone Turbo Tank. Only then, instead of some powerful, albeit adjusted Andor monologues, it will be most fittingly a plethora of silly prequel memes.

Ha, whether you were saying this on purpose or not, speaking of your sacrifice, for a second i thought you would go full on Luthen monologue mode. I like my clones. I love the era. But i'm not willing to be blinded by it all. Like rather enjoy being enthusiastic about certain things, but i can't stand being a fully fledged fanboy with zero expectations. So if 2026 was a return to form, so like providing a better balance in terms of sub-themes again, i would be all for it. In regards to be willing to compromise, well... I will probably end up getting the new CTT. Just at an even deeper discount that i originally anticipated. I don't know if you can make a bigger compromise in the Lego Atar Wars landscape right now. Mara Jade... Why does that name sound familiar to me? Is she a true Skywalker... or more like Reeeeey?

I see... it's a running gag. That might slightly complicate things for me, but it doesn’t matter. Unless the news drought stops soon, i will find it. So even though the newly revealed Vending Maschine spawned from the Ideas initiative, Lego should do this to Trojan Horse a Lego Star Wars CMF into existence... just without the gamble factor. So not really a CMF in the sense of blind bags, but more in a way of getting a bunch of desirable minifigs all at once.

Day #16 of asking Lego not to exterminate the upcoming Clone Turbo Tank. Yep, the ongoing thirst for more info is real. I wanna put it this way, the UCS Death Star will probably be the most exciting set that i will never get. Ha, good one. At first i was like "hold on, that's not what i wrote." Know this, i am very found of quoting pop culture things (either 1:1 or adjusted) in situations i deem to be fitting. So your word play is something i can totally get behind. Oh okay, that's good to know. I actually searched this entire thread for the beloved Billionaire bubble and didn't find it. I think it actually happened a little longer ago than i thought that it did. And it's just that i only catched up to it a couple of months back, hence the recency bias. However, i am holding out hope that it was either @CloneCommando99, @Mandalorianknight, or, well, you. Since these are the individuals i am in touch with the most. Even though my stomach says it's one of the other guys. If i had to take a guess, i think it was the Dedra Meero fanatic.

The last word triggers me to get a little bit off my chest, which ultimately might be perceived as the most uninteresting, unnecessary posting on Eurobricks ever... but better late than never. So yeah, prepare to be bored beyond reasoning everyone: A couple of months back, i don't know who it was or what exactly he was referring to... i just remember someone in this thread saying if X is or ain't happening, he will personally travel to Billund. Since i was convinced Lego would not fulfill the requested thing in question, all i have to say: enjoy your travels. If anyone knows what i am searching for and let me know, it would be greatly appreciated. To me, not remembering trivial stuff in any given moment, is like an itch that you can't scratch.

Oh definitely. I initially imagined some sort of modular approach for the UCS Death Star. You would build a basic structure that works well enough for both. And then you can slide different diorama scenes based on Episode IV or VI in and out how you please. Additionally, you can fully or partially enclose the whole thing with some extra panels for either ANH or ROTJ look. I mean, you have so many pieces at your disposal... (it's over 9000!), there has to be something special going on. I doubt it's just a very giant grey ball, or that the majority will be made up of tiny parts. Either way, i am very much looking forward to all the leaks and reveals from the outside... and then the corresponding reactions from the inside. It could be one for the ages.
