ArrowBricks Posted March 24 Posted March 24 The set is a weird choice isn’t it! Don’t get me wrong, I will buy one because it taps into the nostalgia, but people won’t want to buy multiples of this set, and in some instances they won’t be drawn to this set at all. Granted, I cannot critique a set that’s completely new, is from The Clone Wars, and has 3 figures. I just can’t quite understand why 2025 is the year of Jango Fett. It is not like TBOBF has recently released. Quote
CloneCommando99 Posted March 24 Posted March 24 Oh yeah. This gonna be peak. (New poster) Wait. Are those Occupier Tanks, Range Troopers and a new Imperial Shuttle variant as well (seriously I compared the hull to the Sentinel and Lambda)?!! What the actual f*** Lego?! Literally the only things in this poster on shelves rn are the ISD and Tie Fighter. 3 hours ago, Llewop said: I agree but also with the Lego shows they do hold things back for future waves especially for things SW would say that are spoilers. We are getting an Ahsoka bp years after it came out. I have a feeling January will give us more. Am I right and there is no new SW until Mando and Grogu? If so there is potential for more sets The only problem with this is that it’s been inconsistent. None of Kenobi, TBoBF or Andor S1 got sets released in the next year after they ended. 36 minutes ago, Mandalorianknight said: I mean it's pretty clear that lego has been conned into thinking there's not a market for OT playsets. This would have been a perfect year to throw some generic imperial vehicles like the Gozanti or ITT out there to coast on the Andor hype a bit without explicitly tying them in and therefore leaving it a bit more open. That’s exactly what makes this even more infuriating. ITT especially is so overdue anyway. 37 minutes ago, Mandalorianknight said: Yeah the brand is essentially becoming a more successful version of lego DC's "there are no DC characters beyond Batman, the Joker, and maybe Harley Quinn" theme. Except instead of ensuring we get a Batman and Joker figure based on every conceivable media source instead of any other characters, we get every conceivable variant of Jango Fett 's DNA. More fuel for the Aslume 1 hour ago, THELEGOBATMAN said: *insert Punisher nonononono meme here* Frankly, I'd say I was joking, but at this point I really wasn't. It's not a bad choice for a lromo or anything tbh, but I can't really take LEGO Star Wars seriously anymore. Just don’t bro. Whenever you make a joke about future sets you only tempt fate.

Llewop Posted March 24 Posted March 24 44 minutes ago, Mandalorianknight said: That's not really applicable here. For one thing, we didn't get any spoiler sets for TBOBF, Andor S1 (Or sets at all for acolyte), and I don't think we'll be seeing spoiler sets for skeleton crew. If lego doesn't think a show based set would do well with kids, they won't bother making one. With andor especially I don't think it's the type of show that's going to have spoiler set material. But just as importantly, everything CC mentioned was in the trailer. They wouldn't be spoiler sets any more than the U-wing.. I was trying to be optimistic :). I know it’s all been shown in the trailer but there might be characters or props or whatever which could. Although saying that they’ve announced most of the majors players and the showrunner has said he’s not one for putting characters in the show for the sake of fan service. Can never be one to predict what Lego do these days but in theory 2026 will have a massive May wave for the Mando film which could leave room in January and March for some more Andor sets. Feel like season 2 is going to be more action packed than 1 and it might get the viewership 1 didn’t especially with returning characters from R1. also am I misremembering but isn’t there another set from the summer we don’t know of yet or did that turn out to be the V19 or the Slave 1 Quote

All the D+ content has given us so much new Imperial stuff it would sell. Doesn’t even have to be linked to the OT just think these days link it to the Empire. like I said before we have potentially a January and March wave with an open canvas before we get 100 sets with 100 versions of Grogu and Din Djarin in. with that Andor poster do we know who those 3 imperials are above Krennic?

In my view it should've been just a Kamino gantry or something with Obi-Wan, Taun We, and a clone captain/lieutenant/sargeant. -still only 2 new prints -helps anyone buying Slave 1 get two major characters from that scene without buying an additional set -Even gives the clone bros another set in the "inescapable march of the GAR" column with one that at least actually is more notable and wearing armor. As is we're getting a set that while connected to the concept of slave one, repeats a character, and includes two super obscure unarmored clone children. Quote

Lordhelmet Posted March 25 Posted March 25 Did I see that right that the death troopers are the zombie versions? If so I just went from buying 5-10 of that set to maybe buying one on sale. Was hoping for some new death troopers (real ones). also the Andor trailer has so many good set options! Range troopers would be sweet to get back (and apparently real death troopers) the ITT and Tie avenger would also make great sets. Quote
Mandalorianknight Posted March 25 Posted March 25 Oh dear god. I... I never thought I'd say this... I feel bad for the clone bros in the Earth year of our lord 2025 A.D., the Year of the Clone, the Clone Dominated year, Clones' year, the year specifically assigned to clones. What the hell is going on with that set? The bright yellow AT-RT, the funko POP spider droid... man, this is, this is something. I will give them props for including a bit of terrain, and for 1 or 2 of the AT-RT design alterations being improvements, like the smaller feet. That's it. This set looks disgustingly overpriced (this is the $30 battle pack with two fewer droids for an additional $10), the funko POP spider droid is a massive downgrade from the one they've been doing for years now, the AT-RT has an atrocious color scheme, etc. If the figures end up all getting pauldrons and good printing and visors and all the bells and whistles, this is a set that'll have the Clone Bro day 1 spike and then be shelfwarming by the holiday season. If they skimp out on the clone's pauldrons, I think this doesn't even end up selling out like most clone battle packs have been day 1. It's certainly the difference between "pick it up on at least 30% discount" and "don't buy a single copy ever" for me... Other sets are all good- Maul Mech is fine. I don't like the mechs but they're clearly sticking around and this one is competently achieved, I'm sure little kids will be happy. Shirtless is a baffling choice for a mech but the splash of red gives it some color. The Night Trooper Battle Pack is almost everything I wanted. We were never going to get an accurate gunship out of a battle pack, and I love this little beetle gunship. Absolutely showing up the larger and more part intensive 2024 remake of the 2008/2019 battle pack dropship by holding more troopers, and it comes off as a functional microfighter gunship. I love it. (Plus a nice black windscreen for MOCs, though I'm definitely leaving at least two of these built and hovering around one of my larger imperial ships on clear stands like little bugs. I think I'll end up getting two or three instead of one, though I'll probably wait for discount on the second. That said, the death troopers don't have a new damaged helmet mold. Not a dealbreaker, but we better see them again soon as regular DTs, and not just in a $1000 set. Plo Microfighter is a standout- I'd been working on a microfighter Azure Angel for one of my projects-that-will-never-come-out-because-I'm-too-busy-procrastinating, and while this, like most microfighters I get, is destined for the parts bin, it's well-made for what it is and it heartens me to know my attempts were on the right track seeing Lego's model. But the Plo minifig is the real draw hear. Glad to see some solid leg printing and an EXCELLENT head mold. I would have preferred tan to dark orange, but it's still a great figure, and one I'll likely pick up down the line. 4 minutes ago, Lordhelmet said: Did I see that right that the death troopers are the zombie versions?

Range troopers would be sweet to get back (and apparently real death troopers) the ITT and Tie avenger would also make great sets. Correct, but why would the night trooper battle pack have normal death troopers? We've only ever seen night troopers alongside the kintsugi death troopers. The good news is spending the budget on a new mold without making the damaged jaw version implies they have plans for the mold, so new DTs may be coming next year (and ideally not just in the $1000 death star later this year) It really does just shoot out a shotgun blast of imperial vehicles and troopers. Would love to see range troopers again, and lego has bricklink. They know those guys would do well. I really am surprised we didn't get a partisan X-wing vs TIE avenger (or TIE avenger vs other imperial starfighter if Andor's piloting) two-pack, since lego loves the starfighter two-packs, the Avenger has been marketed a lot more than the U-wing, etc. Oh, also, on the topic of the new poster I want to know if @THELEGOBATMAN now wants a new set with formalwear dedra and syril.

Agent Kallus Posted March 25 Posted March 25 There's a different preliminary stamp on the clone pack compared to the others, I'm sure the final thing will look better, right? The little Laat/le is cute. Nice that a battle pack actually has a nice build ( okay the recent Mando one had more useful parts). I think except the clone pack these look good. A shame the Nighttrooper pack isn't out in time for may 4th but I'll be in Japan for celebration then anyway so I don't know if I'll do a big may 4th order or not. Quote

AD_Bricks Posted March 25 Posted March 25 Plo Koon - yay, head piece is much better than the old one Night troopers - pretty cool, meh build though, will buy 1 to put with the Peridea set but I don't feel attached enough to them to need a whole army. I hope they appear in something else down the line though Maul mech - the red chest looks a bit strange... making the mechs look like upscaled versions of the characters (except for Luke) was already slightly weird, but this one being shirtless is even stranger 327th bp - spider droid is definitely an improvement (eyes actually set into the ball instead of sticking out on a telephone piece), and the AT-RT is nice and colourful, and the terrain build looks decent (lovely teal and reddish orange plants), but the final versions of those clones had better be properly decked out to justify it being AU$60+ (going to wait for a sale either way though because omg) Quote
ToaDraco Posted March 25 Posted March 25 The June sets overall look wonderful to me. Unsurprisingly, the minifigs are the real highlight here. The new Plo Koon is sooo good! I'm so happy he comes in such a cheap easy to get set, and the new astromech head is a nice bonus. The 327th bp looks good and although I was really disappointed to get yet another Dwarf Spider Droid and AT-RT, the updates to both are quite nice as is the small terrain build. The Nightrooper bp has a really sad Imperial Dropship but the figures look amazing. The Maul mech is neat and I love the inclusion of a probe droid. I do wish this was more interesting though. I would have taken a Maul with large brick-built spider legs and body over this, it would atcleast be super interesting and unique in top of being based on a canon appearance. If the minifig is the same Siege of Mandalore one, this will end up being a pass. Now, can we finally get good leaks of the May sets? I badly need to see the UCS Jango Fett's Slave I! Quote

I’m not too sure about that. The Mando S3 sets were vey strategic about where they included Mando (except for the $100 TIE Interceptor, but if not there then he wouldn’t have been in any of the sets initially). He was an impulse buy set, a “cheaper” playset, and a 4+ set. I expect to see a similar strategy taken with the M&G sets. Perhaps the strategy taken will be that of the TRoS (main character in “cheaper” playset) or TFA (main guy in cheapest and most expensive sets of the wave)? Preliminary images? What is this, 2008? For a second there, I got really excited that we were going to get a 212th BP. Regardless, I cannot see how anyone would think that BP is worth $40. I agree with MandoKnight that the Spider-droid build gives off Funko vibes, which doesn’t look good, plus that AT-RT… Some tan or dark orange would’ve helped there. Now, if I had a nickel for every time in 2025 that TLG put too much yellow on a build, I’d have two nickels—which isn’t a whole lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice. Night Trooper BP looks good. It’s a great parts pack (especially with the windshield) made into an actually decent build and, most of all, with cool figures. Definitely a one-and-done pickup, though; maybe two just to spite any clone BPs nearby. Plo Koon looks great! It’d be better as a full-on set, but at least this is a good starting point to getting there. Just wish it wasn’t $15, because otherwise this would be a Day 1 buy.

Yeah, I saw it for 50% off on Friday. I currently live in a more rural area, but the only other star wars sets here I've seen hit 50% off or more are the YJA sets, so at more suburban/urban walmarts I'd expect it'll still be around 30% off at least. Yeah, the Funko DSD seems like lego decided to solve the protruding eyes at the expense of literally everything else about the droid, and the AT-RT is awful. Friend of mine thought it was a construction AT-RT when he saw the pictures (not sure how an AT-RT would be useful in construction but the colors definitely imply that). 100% understand the "spite clone BPs nearby", although for me it's moreso that with all the other sets being clone based, a "I'll just get one or two" will inevitably have me waking up in March 2026 with like 7 copies just from a lack of competition. Aw, man, I forgot it was $15 now. I could stomach $13, but at $15 we're waiting for discount. Plo isn't Rex-level desirable and his microfighter got to around 30% off near me so I'm confident I'll manage to pick one up for $10 or less before it retires, and while Plo does look great I'm in no rush. Quote
CallumPears Posted March 25 Posted March 25 (edited) Ok Plo looks good. As others have mentioned I would've preferred the astromech to be his RotS one but that's a minor detail. 327th pack is the ugliest thing I have ever seen. They better have cloth pauldrons as a bare minimum, but I have no interest in the Super Battle Droids and the yellow AT-RT looks TERRIBLE. Hugely oversized as always (it's a little smaller than the 501st one but still not small enough), and I'm not a fan of legion colours on vehicles anyway but here it looks especially bad. Spider droid is whatever; I would've preferred a crab droid or maybe a gelagrub for the Clones to ride. Little BF2 bacta tank is cute but absolutely does not save the set lol. And the price... Maul mech is a Maul mech. Not a fan of the eyes of course and mechs are always overpriced but it's basically what we were expecting. Night Trooper minifigures are a little disappointing: For the regular troopers the only new parts are the grey helmet and one different torso (the legs look identical). Both of the Death Troopers are identical which is very disappointing. As basically everyone has been saying about like half of the battle packs they've made since like 2014, they really should've made the ratio 3:1, but if they were seriously committing to the 2:2 ratio then to make it worth it the Death Troopers should've had different damage patterns. Now it's going to look even worse if you get multiples. I might get it on clearance just for some zombie heads to reuse elsewhere. These figure designs could be due to them being preliminary photos, though only the 327th pack explicitly has the word "preliminary" stamped on it so unfortunately probably not. 10 minutes ago, JohnTPT17 said: Plo looks amazing. Pass on everything else. TL;DR: yep Edited March 25 by CallumPears Quote
Tariq j Posted March 25 Posted March 25 That Plo Koon head looks fantastic. Lovely that we’re getting him in such a cheap set. It would’ve been nice if we’d got the full astomech figure but honestly that Plo figure is so good I don’t mind. The Nigh Trooper battle pack looks fine to me, the build reminds me of the original Stormtrooper BP they released in 2008. The Maul mech looks pretty much what you’d expect it to look like. I’m assuming the figure is the one based of the Siege of Mandalore? Quote
