  1. Yeah, when including questionable at best minifigs in sets, i don't wanna see something like "all that people remember were >> insert character description here <<" wanna be justifications ever again. The whole thing with the leaked minifigure list, including Mas and Sly, seems to be false information anyways. Good lord, this reminds me there are just far too many people playing insiders out there. Not going to call out anyone by name, but yeah... it can get a little annoying at times. So what i read here is true... from a certain point of view. Man, i gotta watch Robot Chicken again. Sounds solid as well. How often do you do these May the 4th promos? Annually, usually, or occasionally?
  2. Yeah, no, i'm not buying that for a second. Next thing you are gonna tell us is that Anakin Skywalker eventually turns into Darth Vader. Please don't, Andor is actually worth watching and among the very best Star Wars content unter the Disney banner. Same here. I plan to purchase the Imperial Star Destroyer, get the Kamino Training Facility GWP and that's that.
  3. Gotcha. I try to be vigilant as well. Just saying that if the rule was to only talk about newly released media in any capacity after one to two weeks instead, everyone would be reading at their own risk, which each and everyone should be aware of when interacting online. The way it is now, is fine. Trying to be realistic here, potential spoilers has happened a lot and probably will happen a lot more in here. Recent shows and Lego Star Wars are so closely intertwined in several ways, it can create a dynamic in conversations rather quickly. Making even the tiniest little spoiler nearly impossible to avoid. But to conclude, i know i can do better than this. Next time, i will. Because despite being a new member, i don't wanna rely on any puppy protection in the slightest. Back to Lego Star Wars 2025 news, it looks like it's now confirmed only selected sets will get double VIP points for May the 4th. The presumed list is as follows: Ahsoka's Duel on Peridea, Ambush on Mandalore Battle Pack, Captain Rex Y-Wing Starfighter, Clone Trooper & Battle Droid Battle Pack, Coruscant Guard Gunship, Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator, Dessert Skiff & Sarlacc Pit, Ghost & Phantom II, Imperial Dropship vs. Rebel Scout Speeder, Imperial Star Destroyer, Jedi Bob's Starfighter, Paz Vizla and Moff Gideon Battle, The Dark Falcon, couple of helmets, some buildable characters, many sets from the Starship Collection and last, but certainly least, that 4+ thingy with the blue teddy bear. There are supposed to be three sets with 4x VIP points, which are the UCS Venator, UCS X-Wing and the TIE Fighter & X-Wing Mash-up.
  4. With all due respect, and this is just my two cents on this spoiler scenario, if merely talking about the first 3 episodes can be seen as spoiler risk, which it definitely could be, maybe the line should be even tighter and not even allow people to talk about new stuff immediately in the first place. As what is a spoiler to one person, might not even scratch the surface for another. Where does a spoiler begin, where does it continue, where does it end? Everybody will naturally feel different about it. But if everyone would be aware to wait just this single week, this would minimize the risk of getting spoiled even further. Again, i don't wanna sound out of place or something. I gave my best not to spoil any specific scenes, plot points, neither major nor minor events etc. Instead, i tried to take on the Lego Star Wars angle.
  5. Yeah, a 1000$+ UCS set absolutely should deliver a stellar minifigure line-up. And exclusivity goes hand in hand with that. But there are better figs to put in there, like Krennic and the Emporer's Advisors. While Mas Amedda and Sly Moore feel like a stretch. I also don't like to say better than nothing every single time, as it's, well, not always better. If you can't do something justice, like in the best or most reasonable way possible, you might as well don't do it at all. And leave it at that until you can. In due time, i say yes to both of those things. 8/10 is the score i had in mind as well. Me, to clarify, to some extent. I am not as burned out as some of you guys (and maybe girls) are. But i am getting up there... slowly but surely. But yeah, like i said, definitely becoming tired in the Battle Pack department. On that topic, bring on more OT themed Battle Packs again. In a more consistent manner, pretty please. Not just one every three years or so. Appreciate it. To be fair, this is how intended it to be. Yet i was almost worried i would be the only one to notice. Um, yes there are. Although that depends on the scale of the set. For a typically small Duel set in the 25 bucks price range, it would obviously only include Yoda and Sheev. Make it a little bigger, say double than that, which given the source material is entirely possible, then sure at least Mas Amedda would have good chances to be included as well. This would not be the first time a desirable, exclusive minifig made it in a Duel Set it had no business with in the movies whatsoever. Because i don't remember Poggle the Lesser having such a big role in the Duel on Geonosis. Yes, that set happened a dozen years ago and it would be foolish to take it for granted now, but still... this scenario already happened. And to be fair, all Mas Amedda does in the movies is to stand around menacingly and drop the occasional one liner. So it's not like his presence would be any more substantial in the UCS Death Star. Ah okay. I actually was reading some of your postings about the UT-AT situation at one of the usual places yesterday. But i wasn't paying closer attention to the poster, so i didn't realize it at the time. I don't know why, but without someone mentioning it, i always forget about the UT-OT needing a remake as well. And yes, the 41st legion are probably the most prominent troops who are still due to be remade with helmet holes and all. I would be surprised if we don't see any of them next year. I'm kinda going back and forth on this. On one hand, i think all this "it's too dark and violent for kids for Lego to release this toy" is somewhat of an myth. For the longest time, it was claimed this is the reason why Lego would not do another Mustafar Duel set, until that happened again. Many kids have watched these movies anyways, so is it really that much of a big deal, i thought. However, on the other hand, Andor is a show meant to be for a more mature audience, the setup is quite different. And yes, season 2 is probably be even darker than the first one. The question is... does that speak for or against it? And is this one scene enough to prevent Lego doing an additional set that is based on a different episode and characters? For a show that children should have no business watching anyways? I mean they surely would not stop seeing the appeal of a TIE Avenger because of certain unrelated scenes that are not suitable for them. And Lego has to be at least aware of this as well. Yeah, i feel like if Lego had a problem with the gritty and grounded nature of Andor after the first season, we would probably not even gotten the U-Wing for season 2. One, of course, doesn't necessarily rule out the other.
  6. For the sake of improved stability alone, i have to give it to the new Super Battle Droid mould. It's superior over the old one in every way. Although, it could have used a red dot for the thermal sensor. We might have to wait one more decade for that to happen, too. As for their backs, the something similar still applies to the B1's. Like they got the stud to connect something, but there is no - for lack of a better word - "backpack" attached to it. Thanks for clearing this up. I got a little lost on this funny mess. Thank you for taking your time, too. I definitely got confused about certain things, by mixing up more or less reliable sources altogether. And since you are mentioning your DM's, you are in this leaker business, too, i assume? I'm obviously still getting to know people in here. And thus, interacting with a lot of fresh faces right now. Last but not least, my aforementioned power fantasy of the 41st showing up in a future UT-AT can now become a reality again.
  7. Okay, now even the confusion is confused. So let me get this straight... Originally, the 75413 was supposed to be a UT-AT and 75414 was meant to be a smaller Turbo Tank, which later turned out to be a RTG set. Then, the 75413 UT-AT rumour was replaced with some sort of tank vehicle, while 75414 was specified to be a new Snow Speeder. Then again, it was claimed to be a Turbo Tank. Lastly, the 75413 got changed into the RX-200 Falchion-Class Assault Tank, until all options were left open... All of this not necessarily in this exact order. But now, given that i got you right, the 75413 turns out to be a Turbo Tank and set 75414 remains unchanged. Holy clone cannoli, this chaos makes the 2024 Death Star/Star Destroyer debacle feel like foreplay.
  8. For the love of personal preferences... please don't. Even letting alone the fact of the 20th ROTS anniversary, both of those figs scream Yoda Vs. Palpatine Duel set... either as System Scale or Diorama Collection. In case of the latter, a set depicting the scene where the Emperor declares the Galactic Empire would work as well. The 41st legion will obviously pair with the upcoming UT-AT. This has been my power fantasy, when the original 75413 was still believed to be replaced with the Clone Turbo Tank. Jokes aside, as Lego is constantly re-releasing Clone legions with the updated armor style, new Kashyyyk Troopers will be only a matter of time anyways. Yeah, i can relate to that as well. When i review something and form an opinion for myself, i always try to judge the whole package. Don't wanna be too praising, don't wanna be too harsh. In other words, i wanz to avoid to view things in black and white... literally in Dedra's case. By now, everybody and their mother knows that Lego is having trouble printing light colors on dark torsos or legs. Yeah, this known fact ultimately doesn't help matters. And yeah, it's unfortunate this is the case in here, too. But when everything else about it is pretty spot on, it hardly ruins the minifigure as a whole. Overall, it's still a good figure, with just one disappointing, yet unsurprising flaw in the skipped leg day department. I swear to the maker again... and i say this a Clone person: If Lego releases just one more 501st Battle Pack in the near future... I will write considerably morally questionable things about it. Gotta get those ~40 figs in there, i guess.
  9. Having just catched up to Andor, without - of course - going into spoiler territory, i swear to the maker... If they don't do the TIE Avenger some much deserved justice next year, it might go down as one of the biggest missed opportunities in Lego Star Wars history. And at this point, that says something. After all, new news to be sure, but not necessarily welcome ones. Still disappointed about the UT-AT not happening. Maybe leakers just saw a blurry or preliminary image of the set and associated the minifigures with this vehicle. Like... why on earth wouldn't they? It's the only thing these troops ever showed up with on screen. So it's crazy Lego didn't do both at once. But as they are able mix and match figures with sets and scenes as they please, the UT-AT could still come out later on. Just glad the Galactic Marines are still happening. In my eyes, that's at least much better than releasing a UT-AT without them. And yes, considering the very low piece count (not even a big price pro piece ratio kinda guy), there absolutely has to be more than 4 true minifigs. Yep, like just implied, at this price point, they better be. Even with two new helmet moulds, this set probably got no good excuses to not match the AT-TE minifig line-up. Oh woah... Just started to look up your set ideas. I barely scratched the surface, but already found a lot of cool concepts. Would definitely want to buy a whole lot of them in a heartbeat. Well done. By the way, those reasonable price points make me all nostalgic. While the fact, that quite a few of your projects still haven't been officially made by now, does not make me nostalgic. Yeah, filling up the MTT with Battle Droids is quite obviously a logical decision, but i hope there will be least some variety to them. We are long overdue for another B1 Commander and an Security Droid. As for the V-19, the inclusion of TCW Obi-Wan with arm printing would be a sight to see. In that regard, some more consistency for main characters would go a long way. If TCW Mace Windu can have printed arms in an even cheaper playset, i see no reason why Kenobi can't. Just the men? Whew, i thought it would be about the woman and children, too!
  10. Why, thank you. I thought the warm welcome wave would be over by now, but there we go. And yes, i tend to be rather enthusiastic about the things i enjoy. Woah, woah, woah there... The U-Wing is supposed to be the equivalent of the Republic Gunship? Now i know. I always percieved it as yet another Starfighter. And like you said... so did Lego. Oh well, what do i know, i take back my comment of it meant to be a medium sized ship, then. Other than that, it's always a matter of perspective. I think many playscale ships were not be seen as "too small" or "too big" back in the day. They were just kinda normal. But after all these re-releases, everything is shed in a new light. And in these direct comparisons, despite the noticable downsizing, i'm not upset about it for the most part. Of course, in some cases, releasing a smaller set for a higher price, is always a bad look from the outside. Even though record-breaking inflation is a thing. Especially after about a decade between modern makeovers. Ha, size-wise, i would at least consider the 75300 Imperial TIE Fighter to be close to a middle ground between 75237 and 75211. Although, as the former is a 4+ set, it might not qualify for a fair comparison. I don't know how the new TIE Frankenstein mashup thingy fits into all of this, though. Yeah, at the end of the day, it's a business, not charity. And business, who would have thought, ain't always fair. But even then it's no one way road. Sometimes it's unfair to the costumers/consumers. Sometimes it's unfair to the employees. And sometimes it might even be unfair to Lego. If we were given the transparency about commercial success directly from Lego, beyond top 3 best selling licensing themes (like you get sales data for various other entertainment mediums), we would get a chance to see the bigger picture. And thus, might think differently about certain things. More open minded, less one-dimensional. He did? I need to check this out. As an observer, i am quite big on fan creations, custom CMF's etc. And the MBS Mos Eisley Cantina actually came out in 2020; where does the time go?
  11. Alternatively, in Spain, you will get a TIE Defender microbuild in the next magazine. Yep, i thought the exact same thing. Are we blind? Deploy the constructive criticism! Well, that's a really low bar to beat, isn't it? Even in a "best of the worst" kinda scenario, it would have been worth mentioning in the review. Better than acting like you are presenting a flawless figure from top to bottom.
  12. I like that mindset. It's not always this "evil corporation TM" situation. If people have somewhat unrealistic expectations and needlessly setting them up for disappointment, that's on them, not anybody else. Other than that, buying a huge UCS set primarily for a single minifigure is... certainly a choice in the first place. I see. It's not like these hybrid Battle Packs with a 50:50 split between named characters and troops are the sweet spot for me. I tolerate them, but yeah... even better is a 100% commitment to either one of these kind of figure selections. The 75167 Bounty Hunter Speeder Bike Battle Pack was a great choice for getting a bunch of desirable characters all at once. While the 75320 Snowtrooper Battle Pack is close to perfection for army building. Both work well for me. And thanks to your comment, i will now visualize a Cantina Alien Character Pack in my restless dreams, until it actually happens. It would be twice the pride for fans finally getting him again. And double the fall for Lego falling back into their lazy ways. Yep, i would consider it exactly that... wishful thinking. But this unexpected comeback definitely outweighs the inaccuracy of a single piece. First and foremost, i am glad we are getting her again. Yeah well, as far as Lego shop discounts generally go, they are pretty much irrelevant to me. It's the same thing on Black Friday every year. There are a couple of okay-ish disounts on offer. Usually sets that are soon to be discontinued and/or performing poorly... stuff they just want to get rid off. But those deals i can get all the time on Amazon. And much better ones than that. Last year was one of the rare exceptions with the 75354 Coruscant Guard Gunship being 20% off for May the 4th promotion.
  13. So, after i saw yet another U-Wing comparison, i can not stress enough how little of a problem the new Lego formula of downsizing sets in favor for a more detailed and sturdy build is for me. Of course, it was expected to be a smaller scale set by all accounts... and it is. But from my point of view, it's just smaller, not too small. And it is only smaller because the last model was arguably too big. I feel the same way about the most recent X-Wing and TIE Fighter developments, which reached crazy high price points when they were too big of a behemoth to begin with... or in the case of the 75218 X-Wing charged an extra 20 Euros for a nearly identical, colour-swapped model (while only having some improved mechanism for the wings) just for the heck of it. In-universe, these are supposed to be medium-sized ships, so i am fine with them actually being accordingly and reasonably sized. The same thing can probably not be said about the upcoming Slave 1 playset. This is meant to be a big vehicle, but with just a good 100 pieces more, will most definitely be closer in scale to the 2021 shrunken down Mando model than the incredible 20th anniversary version. Which is somewhat of a shame, as i would have loved to display both ships next to each other. But i am glad that i finally get (albeit downgraded) regular Jango Fett. I can only have so many blue Mando minifigures that are not him, i guess.
  14. According to newest leaks, the Mos Espa Podrace Diorama, Midi-scale Tantive IV and AT-TE will be 15% off, the UCS Razor Crest will get a 20% discount. This list is not official and subject to change, so everything should be taken with a cup of jawa juice (grain of salt). Also, of course, sets may very well vary by region.
  15. Yep, and wether this is funny or not, always depends which people you are asking. Me as a non UCS person? Loved it... could have laughed my megablocks off all day long. Early adopters of the UCS Venator? Probably not so much. Even though, you should not overthink the term "exclusive". In my experience, exclusivity can come in many forms. And timed exclusivity is one of them. So i don't know if Lego could be seriously accused of misleading marketing, then. Definitely was crazy convenient for Lego to pull off, though. Like i can totally get behind people who are strictly against named characters in Battle Packs for the sake of army building. I mean they were originally intended for this very purpose and officially advertised as such. But i am not a hardcore army builder myself. I enjoy it, but in a more casual kinda way, so only amassing my armies via different sets, not buying multiple sets at all. For example, i didn't mind Ki-Adi-Mundi and Barriss Offee being included in the infamous 75206 Jedi and Clone Troopers Battle Pack. For me, they were just two welcome additions for the collection. But again, i can totally see where the other camp is coming from. Different strokes for different folks, i take it. Haha, like i mentioned earlier, everything non exclusive in here gets discounted so deep and so fast, even the more popular, sought after stuff, it is kinda difficult to draw conclusions to some actual sales from price points alone. If on the other hand something like the Justifier is slashed half off in price, oh well, in that case it may have sold quite poorly. I absolutely agree on this one. I honestly do not care at this point. They should just release the Count with the default lightsaber hilt and get it over with. As for Ventress, i think it will straight up be the standard hilt piece.
  16. Yeah, that's an extraordinary long shelf life indeed. It's not like we got any shortages of Jedi Starfighters in general right? On my little personal prediction planet the Slave 1 was supposed to accompany Obi-Wans Delta-7 for the 20th anniversary, but for some reason didn't make the cut back then. So maybe Lego decided to extend the existence of the latter. Which would be pretty funny as this is getting out of hand. Now we get two of them. Thank you, too. I feel quite comfortable already. We should never stop beating this dead Bantha, i suppose. Even if it would fulfill the definition of insanity, if Lego was to ignore cool stuff for sets and minifigures a hundred times, we should say how we actually feel about it every single time. And maybe - just maybe - this time things will be different. And Lego will follow suit with an Andor set or two next year. In that regard, nothing beats putting Captain Rex from the UCS Venator to a mere Microfighter for like 2% the original asking price in less than a year. Or the most recent example, not including the best version of C-3PO bar none in the UCS Sail Barge, only to throw it at you as a Keychain the next year as well. Yep, i have been under this impression as well. I was one of these overly excited fans. And the AT-TE proofed to be a rather nice birthday gift the following year. Kinda funny how Lego always messes up the box design on purpose. It's supposed to have Vader for the Skywalker Saga branding in the lower left corner of the package. But as soon as the set includes Clones, they always use the corresponding art for TCW design. The devil's in the details. To me, it just goes to show their clear focus on the Clone Troopers. Like it's less about the prequels, mostly about the Clones. Otherwise we would get a more steady supply of main characters available at all times. So i think it's perfectly fine to make that distinction. Like Clones are obviously part of the prequels, but prequels are not necessarily part of TCW. Just because Lego is throwing Clone divisions left and right at us, doesn't mean prequel fans are eating pretty good by default. Can you believe there was never an Episode III Anakin Vs. Dooku style duel set? Or Yoda Vs. Palpatine? Or even Ben Kenobi Vs. Vader? Sometimes, i can not fathom these facts in any way, shape or form. Only thinking that Lego is not willing to bring back that curved lightsaber hilt piece for Dooku and that's why we have not seen him for a dozen or so years. Yeah, unlike now, it just wasn't an annual thing back then. You were not anticipating these anniversary sets to arrive.
  17. Yep, i think it's important to understand that these companies are not your friends and vice versa. It's not like they will celebrate these anniversaries as if they were your birthday or something. Heck, some corporations won't even acknowledge some anniversaries and yeah... were not even a thing for Lego Star Wars until 2019. It's like you said products intended to be infused with nostalgic nature in mind, aimed at adults rather than kids. And since they are doing a plethora of 18+ sets anyways, they don't have to change that much in terms of the overall production pipeline. Just switch up some themes here and there for once. On another note, you could see the 75333 Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighter as the one and only AoTC 20th anniversary set (excluding the Accessory Pack) released back in 2022. But would it have seen the light of day without the Obi-Wan show releasing shortly before? I dare to doubt that. Was more likely a convenient circumstance for Lego and they took advantage of that... which is fine. Personally would not mind it in the slightest if there were the occasional prequel sets (not just TCW extravaganza) in between those anniversaries. But since that's ever so rarely the case anymore, you basically rely on these single years. Which is unfortunate, as i would still like to live in a Lego world where sets like the 75169 Duel on Naboo could happen at any time. In my eyes, the duel sets have much untapped potential anyways. Other than the obvious 18+ overload, i do not know why Lego suddenly stopped making those sets. Hopefully i did make some sense out of this. At least in my mind (translated to my mother language) it does.
  18. Yeah, sounds about right. My prediction for the minifigure lineup: B1 Battle Droid, Clone Shock Trooper, Night Trooper, Sabine Wren/Ezra Bridger, Ahsoka and Anakin Holiday Edition plus maybe some brick built droids.
  19. On a slightly less exciting note... When can we expect concrete infos for the new Advent Calendar? My memory might serve me wrong for this one, but compared to last years it feels like we are getting late to the leaks party. This year's GWP is a must have for me. Yet given the army builder nature of this figure, i wouldn't mind another clone cadet being included in the upcoming calendar.
  20. Yet another thing i am bothered to believe Lego never made in the last 26 years. To me, it goes without saying that the Skywalker Saga mould (frankly like any other non existing minifigure from the game) would be pretty much perfect for the physical one. @Kaijumeister: Dankeschön. And yes i have noticed over the last couple of years.
  21. Yeah, i was glad about Omeeeeeega's inclusion in the calendar. As far as the 25th anniversary was concerned, you got no gungans. No standard Jar Jar Binks. Boss Nass? Ha, no chance! But Darth Jar Jar? Sure thing. Sometimes i can not stand the fact that TPM anniversary is always overlapping with the Lego Star Wars one. Which is ironic, because they actually did plenty of TPM sets last year. It's not like Lego forgot about it. It's just more of the format issue affecting a year that could have been much better for TPM fans. Now you probably have to wait half a decade again just to get this single shot. I know right... There were so many opportunities for unique versions for Boba as well. Sandy Boba, Bacta Tank Boba, Tusken Raider Boba...
  22. Looks like a good varied selection of characters. I will get my own Poncho-less Cal soon. The 2014 Santa Vader was among my final christmas figures. Liking those occasional goofy figures. Can never go wrong with Commander Cody either. In regards to most wanted minifigures, i wanna get the other two Cad Bane minifigures without having to sell a kidney or something. And i would like to see a greater variety of imperial troopers in general. How about finally getting the aforementioned Purge Troopers? But also getting Shoretroopers, Range Troopers, Death Troopers again. Would not say no to more OT Battle Packs! Other than that, bring on more Alien species with specialized molds. I am a sucker for all these obscure characters. Makes the baseplate much more vibrant as well. Yes, thank the maker for those consistent discounts. Personally can not imagine a viable scenario without them. Yeah, the figure selection was obviously supposed to be a big main draw for this set as a whole. With Cad Bane, Todo 360 and last but not least, Omeegaaaa, being brand new figures. Yep, i mean there were certain things the couple of years that were not exactly on my bingo card... but happened anyway. Every now and then people are under the impression to see specific patterns when in reality there are none. You never really know with this company.
  23. Yeah, this is how i roll with many Lego Star Wars sets these days. Going from the numerous leaks, i want to (and do) like a lot of them. And every so often i know i will get something sooner rather than later. But due to some unreasonable price increases over the last couple of years, ever so rarely is it a day one purchase anymore. So most sets will be bought by the usual discounts. Thankfully, you basically get 30%+ off of every widely available set at my location in no time. So if the quality standard is to my liking and the set fits my collection thematically as well, you never have to worry about getting to your preferred price point. Oh, i thought and still think the set idea was kinda neat. I mean, i like fresh ships as much as the next person. But the actual execution of that mega monstrosity left a lot to be desired. To me, it highlights the problematic circumstances of prices being decided before the products themselves get made. Because let's be real... The Justifier was neither in size nor in popularity be fit for the flagship set of the 2022 summer wave. I am not even blaming the Lego group designers that much. They try their best with the hands they have been dealt. This is more of an so-called "something something big business company does big business things TM something something" problem. Oh yes, how could i forget your constant goshing about Mara Jade Skywalker. Your chances of laying your eyes upon this officially made minifigure might be approximately 3.720 to 1, but maybe stranger things have happened. The dark side of doing bricks business is a pathway to many design decisions. Some of them i wholeheartedly consider to be unnatural.
  24. I honestly had to google this character just to confirm my suspicion being right... yep, it's a Rebels character. Never actually watched the show. Might change that sooner or later. Speaking of unavailable versions... Well, see my profile picture. Back when i watched the season finale of TBoBF, i had zero doubts in my mind that Lego would incorporate the climax battle into a seizable play set later on. With the return of a recolorred Rancor, those giant Droideka looking thingies, a bit of scenery and all that jazz. But it unfortunately never happened. I know it's gotta be challenging to keep your merchandise machine up and running with all these different Star Wars media we get on a regular basis nowadays, but the two sets they did make were not even truly based on the show the begin with. Out of all the different Disney Star Wars series, only the Mandalorian gets proper ongoing support. Nearly everything else gets like two to three sets tops (or how about nothing at all) and move on. This swift and short dealing with things is kinda reflective of the "content over cinema"-climate we get to experience in this day and age, i guess.
  25. Oh shoot, somehow my over-eagerness level returned and i totally missed your reply. But as i will never be tired of saying... better late than never. Regarding your question, while Cad Bane is definitely among my favorite characters and i am looking forward to the reveal for sure, other than Jedi Bob's Starfighter, i wasn't too eager about all other RTG sets. So it's more of a wait and see approach for me. Even though it would not be the first Snowspeeder i primarily got for an exclusive minifig... the 20th anniversary one says hi. However, seeing you already brought up this topic, i wanna elaborate by saying: i stopped holding out hope that the most recent Cad Bane from the unjustifiable Justifier set would be cheaply released elsewhere in an Advent Calendar, a Magazine, Microfighter, as a Keychain etc. So i jumped the gun and brick linked this thing of beauty last month. It's my first Cad Bane minifigure and i am very happy with it. How about you... Got any minifigure that is near and dear to you? Anything in particular you still want to add to your collection?
