But the pictures and shots are perfect. Looking forward for the show and what kind of lego sets might be realized in the future. Agreed on all parts. 3 hours ago, THELEGOBATMAN said: Actually it's really surprising we're not getting the TIE Avenger—it's been featured really heavily in the new trailer (which is obviously fantastic, but I already couldn't possibly be more excited for this series). It is Andor, so it makes sense why they aren't going all out for something kids won't watch, but it is also a TIE fighter, and it feels like an obvious choice. 3 hours ago, Rwbricks said: A version of Major Tom (Coming Home) by Peter Schilling, but in Huttese, was in a Skeleton Crew trailer, but I do think this is the first time a regular song has been used. I do agree that more sets would be great, but not likely. Luckily, aside from Mon, most of the main characters will have been available at or around the show’s release (Cassian, Luthen, Syril, Dedra, K2, and Saw). Yeah I should have clarified, a normal song in english. One in a space language doesn't bother me as much. This has been discussed heavily a few weeks to a month ago, but it is crazy we haven't had mon in over 15 years. She's not a main character in the films or anything, but she's still an important role in the OT and a major character in Andor. 2 hours ago, BrickBob Studpants said: Sorry, but I did NOT like that trailer. A regular song and stuffing the trailer to the brim with random accolades?! What is this? I mean the actual footage looks good, but this is easily my least favourite SW trailer. The SC one with the Huttese version of Major Tom was pretty out there, but at least it was creative! Agreed, not my favorite choice for a trailer, although I understand why they did it. 5 minutes ago, QuiggoldsPegLeg said: Season 2 will presumably have a bit more of the triumphant Not sure- Remember, Saw ends up fully a terrorist outcast. Luthen and Mon are on a collision course. Not that Cassian started the show a paragon of virtue, but he's gonna end up at the point where he shoots his own informant without a second thought shortly before dying on the death star. I think while the rebels will get more wins this season, there'll also be a lot more scenarios where the rebels cross lines and do some terrible things. (Plus Andor's friends and Luthen have to be written out, and while some of Andor's friends might just be off living somewhere else, Luthen's not going quietly.) Quote
Darth Malgus Posted February 25 Posted February 25 I think we need a Mon minifig. I can understand why we won't get it. On the subject a page or so back about new moulds for mfs, perhaps they are being used in the Death Star set? Although, I'm not too sure what you could do a new mould of... most imp characters would be face and torso prints. Quote

If those aren‘t enough appearances to justify a new minifig, I don‘t know what is If they can include Dodonna in an X-Wing set, they can also easily throw her in the next rebel starfighter. 46 minutes ago, Darth Malgus said: Although, I'm not too sure what you could do a new mould of... most imp characters would be face and torso prints.

They really should have increased by $5 so that we would justify it as an additional expense for the Clones’ pauldrons; going up by $10 just feels like gouging! 😐 1 hour ago, CloneCommando99 said: I really hope this doesn’t signify the end of cheap BPs.

Ideally we get three packs - $20 (four Minifigs and a pile of parts), $30 (four Minifigs, 4-6 droids, and a couple substantial builds), and $40-$45 (six Minifigs and some decently-sized/detailed builds).

We've known the 327th would be this expensive for awhile now, and how overpriced the set would be (AT-RT and DSD builds if I remember right) but the confirmation that it is officially a battle pack and not a normal set that happens to feature generics like the TX-130 is concerning. 2 hours ago, CloneCommando99 said: Lego’s really trying to gouge prices this year aren’t they?

They've been doing this for awhile with stuff like the Hoopty and X-jet in other themes, plus of course our own Ahsoka's interceptor. Anytime they think something will sell particularly well (though I can't imagine why they anticipated significant demand for the hoopty) they jack that price up well above reasonable levels. I don't think $20 BPs are dead- we've had $30 and $20 BPs coexisting so I don't think this signifies a change. Agreed. 5 hours ago, BrickBob Studpants said: The ministry of silly hats maybe? It‘d be pretty hilarious if they used a chunk of this year‘s budget on something that insignificant. Plus I feel like there weren't many of them- I feel like 1-2 hats could cover the advisors well. Was it ever reliably confirmed the death star would be the DS2 or both? It's most likely going to have to choose an exterior- I guess they could have breakaway panels on the lower part to swap between them, but it just seems unlikely to me- and unless it's both for the interior that 40 fig count seems unrealistic. (Honestly even IF it's both it still feels suspicious to me- the last one was 25 and not missing many people, so we're likely going to end up with the remaining 15 being just more officers and troopers (and potentially a few advisors) and I just don't see lego dropping that number of officers or troopers into a single set. 1 hour ago, Brickwraith said: Yeah i'm absolutely not paying full price for that battle pack. $30 was already pushing it, but 40 and still only 4 minifigs is not worth it.

Hopefully I can get it for $30 eventually, I can't imagine it's going to be that popular with the average consumer at that price. Are clone bros really whaling hard enough that this thing is going to sell well or is Lego just losing it? Quote
Rwbricks Posted February 25 Posted February 25 Isn’t the Night Trooper battle pack supposed to be $20? That’s crazy. I know there’s a bit of a gap in their release dates, but seeing the two battle packs of this year on the shelf together will be something. Quote

I think it's gonna be funnier to see the Coruscant battle pack on shelves at the same time- more figs, arguably just overall a better set (unless the AT-RT + DSD rumor is false), same faction, $10 less. Unless you care about the specific legion, there's no reason to purchase the 327th pack over the coruscant one. Quote
BrickBob Studpants Posted February 25 Posted February 25 Take this with a grain of salt, but one of the leakers on the Brick Tap Discord server now thinks the UT-AT might actually be a TX-130 instead What does that vehicle have to do with Galactic Marines? And how is that supposed to be a $150 set when the last three versions were 50, 25, and 40 bucks respectively?! I swear, the August wave gets worse every time we hear new rumours Quote

I swear, the August wave gets worse every time we hear new rumours I can't imagine this is true. That's a DC level mistake for a theme that, for all my griping about what it chose to base all the playsets off of this year, hasn't done anything like that... ever? Some of the smaller vehicles like BARCS and AT-RTs end up oversized but we've never seen anything on the level that would be. Not to mention I'm just not sure what their goal would be with it- the TX-130 isn't all that well known either, so it's not like they got cold feet about the UT-AT's iconicity. If it is true though, I think lego ends up angering clone fans, and while the clone bros will army build it anyway, it would be funny if lego simultaneously managed to tick off literally every segment of the fan base this year. 3 hours ago, Kaijumeister said: As much as Asajj would be significantly outnumbered, it would have been absolute perfection to get Anakin in his Clone Wars armour too to complement Obi-Wan.

We're courting a round two and I think even the most diehard clone fans would have to admit two years of this would be pushing it. (That said, yeah, there's a ton of stuff from the prequel era that's overdue for a remake or just getting a first fig- Dooku chief among them- but we know what the prequels entail for lego now.) UCS Junior TX-130 would be cool -not as a "replacement" for a system set like this, but still- but I really don't think it's the case, I think whatever leaker that is got things mixed up. 24 minutes ago, Gontron said: It was kind of weird we were getting two 150$ CW sets together, maybe its a 50$ smaller set in the same style as the 187th one a few years back (hopefully with better proportions).

For all the wishlisting I heard about Galactic Marines and 327th, I heard just as much proposals for the many non-clone scenes and characters as well. As you said, Dooku, then Grevious, Mace, Chancellor Palpatine, Kit Fisto! Oh, maybe Padme too. (I kid, I kid, I wouldn’t forget her like TLG and Lucasfilm do.) Then again, why create a dozen new and entirely unique characters when you can modify the existing 2020-style template and fill out that dozen with only four new characters? I can agree that the Prequels and TCW are just as popular with kids now. However, a majority of the screentime of the movies and show, oddly enough, weren’t about dudes in cool coloured armor, but the characters, whether those wearing helmets or wielding lightsabers. Right now, it just seems like a bunch of cool-looking fodder to store away in a tub bin, not representations of my favourite moments in Star Wars. Then again, that’s just my opinion. 10 hours ago, Mandalorianknight said: The question of the year. Lego's gambled almost every playset this year on the theory that clone bros dominate the fanbase and related sales. If Thrawn were in charge at TLG, I’d suggest that this is some massive ploy to usurp the clone bros once and for all by proving clone sets don’t sell, giving plenty of circumstantial evidence to justify the theme’s complete and final pivot into the Grand Gungan Army. Of course, this move will weaken the strength of the LEGO Star Wars militia, allowing the Chiss Ascendancy peace once more in the Uncharted Regions. Of course, we all know Thrawn isn’t in charge at TLG; that title belongs to Luigi of Luigi’s Pizza, whose ulterior scheme we have only begun to unravel. Quote
