I'd be very surprised if the new Death Star has any interior, apart from possibly the odd token section (e.g. Throne Room).

At the rumoured price point LEGO are clearly aiming it at the adult collector market and so I can't see it being anything other than a display piece; any interior/play sections are likely to require significant compromises and I can't see that happening!  In addition, it's going to require a significant amount of Technic to support it all, and that will take up a lot of the interior, similar to most other UCS models.  

It will need to look absolutely amazing, and the obvious way of achieving that would to be base it on the second version (i.e. a seriously upscaled 10143); I don't see how they'd be able to replicate a near perfect sphere which would be necessary for the original.  I'm expecting it to include a lot of exclusive minifigures to help justify the price and attract buyers, all nicely displayed on a separate stand.

I just don't see how the 1000$ price can be justified if it's just a big round grey ball with no interior whatsoever, if there is 40 figures then that means there is an Interior, where else will you place them, a Deathstar II with removeable panels and an interior would be great

If there was no Interior than 600$ at least would be ok, it has to have an interior for that price, and the panels will add more pieces so it will cost more, otherwise this is just overpriced greed

And yes, I know the Death Star is a big round grey ball but interior makes it worth more IMO, the display aspect of having figures in a scene like inside, if you don't want that, you can just display it with the panels, both options for both interests

Another thing too which I highly doubt is that it could be a 2in1 build , pieces to make it from the 1st Death Star into the 2nd one

Hear me out; R2-D2 mech. I think that'd be pretty awesome. 2026?? Maybe even with a 2nd minifig for once since R2 isn't a full one?

That's a very bad idea because R2-D2 is not a true Minifigure and the SW Mechs are 16$ with just one figure, we get R2 is everything now, pretty sure I have like 30 R2's since he's been in everything, even in Microfighters the most you will get is the R2 head

Lego will never allow The SW IP sets to put 2 figures in a mech set, we can't even get 1 in a polybag since 2010 that's at retailers

Crazy how a Battlepack used to be 10$, even 15$ was reasonable

20$ nowadays, remember when the 332nd one was supposed to be near 30$ and Lego last minute brought it down to 21$ lol, they just couldn't help themselves, it'll be 25$ soon or even 30$ and now the 30$ super battlepacks are now 40$ with the 327th and rebel vs stormtroopers

Kind of surprised they didn't throw R2's head on the X-Wing mech. Droid focused mechs seem like they make more sense than what we've been getting so far, but I guess the point is more just to include popular characters at a relatively low pricepoint, so I'm not sure we'll see any other than maybe Threepio or maybe R2 if they want to get creative.

Fingers crossed for an update soon!

These dry seasons for leaks are always a slog to get through 

Agreed though, looking forward to getting some more granular details for the summer. Hopefully there are some positive surprises in terms of minifigures etc. we don’t yet know about.

Does anyone think Lego will ever redo the B1 figure design? It’s done a good job to have lasted almost 3 decades but sorely needs an update in my opinion. The fixed leg piece especially makes them feel too static and wobbly compared to a dynamic figure.

I think so. They're the only figure-specific molds created for SW that haven't been retired yet, and like you said, they're showing their age. I think by 2030 it's not altogether unlikely we see a new model with separated legs.

Spread em

In all seriousness though I think the B1's are ok as they are, still hold up today from 1999, however it'd be nice to have poseable legs, I really hope Lego fixes arms for normal Minifigures too like the Man-Bat arm minus the wing, I want Batman to be able to extend his arm out for his grapple gun or have his arms extend out for when he glides, Spiderman when he uses the webs to stop the train, a T-Pose kind arm design

Would allow for great scenes and pictures

Great for Stop Motion too

I would say the Imperial Royal Guard helmet mould has been around a long time since like 2002 but they haven't  appeared in a set since 2020, I wonder if that mould is retired, would be cool if it was dual moulded to have black in the middle for the visor

I still don't know if the Max Rebo mould is the same as the 2013 one

Jabba is the same anyway as 2012

If there's a change I doubt there will be much that changes. The B2 also got an update, but they're pretty much the same, including fixed legs (meant both ways). I think Lego's fine with the current B1 legs, though - they just used them in an architecture set, and I doubt they would have done that if they were wobbly. Maybe a new arm so they don't have to hold blasters out completely straight, but that's about it.

That's already 36, and I'm sure there are a few others I haven't thought of.

I’d add a pair of Space Troopers, Director Krennic, and Galen Erso to round up to 40. (You know what? Forget it, the set should include 30 Space Troopers for army-building potential.)

Maybe … this Death Star could include multiple copies of even the same figure, to make it so that you have the most full and complete Death Star experience possible

Interesting theory, but I can’t imagine it’d go over well with the target demographic who either own multiple Vaders already or who will sit the figs on a stand next to the DS in the background of his SW podcast to collect dust indefinitely—but I digress. Nonetheless, again, an intriguing thought.

I’m actually interested in the Death Star’s reveal, not because I have any intention of buying it (I don’t), but I’m currently building my own imperial base so I’d like to see what the most Lego compatible imperial door shape is.

I got tired of waiting for Lego to make one. So I’m using spare parts and pick a brick. Just need to find an efficient way to garrison it. (army trooper or JFO trooper BP pls Lego!)

In the past I used the 1x2x1 slope/inverted slope pair for the frame, although I believe LEGO used the 1x2x3 slope/inverted slopes to achieve a similar angle in Dark Trooper Attack.

The blast doors when closing look exactly squared, albeit angled at 45º—at least, according to my single on-hand reference of one closing on Vader post-Ben’s death. Anyway, the half-tile cut at 45º looks perfect to recreate a door mid-closing.

Of course, you likely have plenty more references than my two measly screenshots, but hopefully that could be of some assistance.

 

 

I’m going to wait and see on the RFT/UT-AT debacle; this rumor seems so random that it might be plausible, but of course me believing its plausible makes it implausible, so I’m choosing to ignore it for now.

Ever since I saw the CAC B1, the official figure has paled quickly than Palp’s pruny face in RotS. I don’t see TLG ever making a droid of that level of intricacy, though, since I find a lack of reusability of such elements throughout the LEGO system, unlike the current battle droid. Not to mention, CAC’s B1 looks incredibly finicky, thus TLG would see even separating legs as a deterrent to child’s play.

On your comment about the legs, I believe a simple solution would be to fully enclose the anti-stud connection on the B1’s feet,  like the minifig already does.

Maybe we see an update when minidolls get updated, but I don’t see either occurring any time soon.

I feel like they won’t, in the new Tudor house set they used parts of the B1 in a new colour. Tbh I’ve still got B1s that are from the original sets and it’s just the arms that are the issue but Lego throw in so many spare arms you can easily replace them. I’m of the view if it ain’t broken don’t fix it. The B2s on the other hand were fundamentally in need of a redesign which they’ve done. 

[CloneCommando99]

WE’VE GOT OUR FIRST LOOK AT THE U-WING! THIS IS NOT A DRILL. I REPEAT THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!

Dedra has a dual moulded cap (that’s a new part for your list @BrickBob Studpants) by looks of things and is in a trench coat. @THELEGOBATMAN you’ll be happy to know she looks fabulous.

The rumoured stormtroopers are actually the cap and armour guys we see in the trailer. CompForce troopers?

The build looks clean, albeit small. The troop compartment looks sizeable enough for a small squad though.

 

Most hyped set of the year for me and it appears it lived up to my hopes and expectations.

(Wait where is the 2nd trooper?!)

OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD!!!

She looks magnificent! The coat, a fitting faceprint, AND a dual-moulded hat? Is this a dream? I am actually amazed that she looks as good as she deserves to, I am speechless.

As for the sets itself, another Andor win. The build looks super clean, so it'll go along nicely with the Season 1 set. Cassian looks (?) good, glad to see K-2SO still has the Empire insignia. The biggest surprise is no Stormtroopers—did not expect new Imperials at all.

Overall, I have no words. Incredible set—I never get them day one these days, but I might have to make an exception for this one.

You already changed your profil picture 😂.

Very nice set. The U-Wing looks similar to the old one. Just with other (better) engines and smaller. And also very nice figures 👍.

[CF Mitch]

I'm not a big fan of the U-Wing in general, but those minifigures are absolutely brilliant!

Will probably BL them later on

Mitch

U-wing is a must buy for me, great to see things done well (based on the pictures)

Of course. It's a cause to celebrate. Now that LEGO Dedra is here, there's simply no reason to use anything else.

Yep, same here! 

Great minifigs

[Llewop]

Is K2SO a new mold? 
 

like the look of the figures but only 4 in the set that’s disappointing imo. 

 depending on what may the 4th promo is will determine if I pick this up straight away or wait for a sale

[Swordy]

YES YES YES!
The U-Wing looks superb, and it absolutely feels worth the price tag of $70 (I pray LEGO does not alter the deal).

I immediately see people elsewhere complaining about awful proportions, but strictly as a display piece which I personally will put on my shelf after having built it, it looks really nice. The wings and “underbelly” in particular look much more refined from the 2016 model. The only argument I could see is that the X-Wing canopy looks much larger than it should, but even then it looks better than the older version.

All figs look fantastic. Dedra is the best possible minifig of her character, although perhaps dual-molded legs would’ve worked better. The Comptrooper(?) looks stellar, and I’ll take a new fig over run of the mill repeats any day. Cassian looks great, but not a huge fan of the tousled hair piece, even if it is consistent with his Rogue One figure. K-2 is a welcome return.

Arguably the set should’ve been at the same price point as the LEGO Republic Gunship and AT-TE, but as a downsized $70 playset, it’s the best possible version it can be. I make any Day 1 purchases at the moment, but this set is as close to one as possible.

Happy with the minifigs, but damn. The shrinking of this ship is crazy.  The original one is still superior in shape and size IMHO.

The engines just look like a hot mess, I heard someone elsewhere describe it as a MOC they would've done because they couldn't afford the original set from back in the day.

[Llewop]

Compared to the last one where you could fit troops in this one looks like you might fit one or two at best and they might have to sit down. But like someone else said as a display piece it looks nice 

[TeddytheSpoon]

I always thought the big cockpit on the earlier one was an odd choice, so I'm intrigued to see how this one looks from the front. Figs look phenomenal though.

[CallumPears]

I've already got 2 of the 2016 U-wing and 3 of the old K-2SO figure so probably not gonna get this set but I'll definitely try to grab Dedra and a couple of the new troopers. 

Would've preferred Dedra in her uniform rather than the coat but she still looks good, especially with the new hat piece which I hope is absolutely identical to the standard hat just with the hair added on (would be very annoying if they're inconsistent).

Glad that it looks like she doesn't have too much of the "feminine" printing they do sometimes, so it should be a versatile torso for custom officers. Definitely hope we do get a version of her without the coat at some point but this'll do for now.

She looks to have the coat printed onto the front of her legs though, which I think would be much better if they dual-moulded the legs. Hopefully the print is at least decently opaque.

[Agent Kallus]

U-Wing's looking good.

Could be another figure cropped off (after all the same picture has cropped Anakin out of January's Ahsoka Starfighter)

But the full picture is available and Anakin is there, but sadly no additional minifig for the U-Wing is shown.
