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.

I would have preferred Plo Koon's prequel trilogy robes.

Dedera Meero, Major Partagaz, Syril Karn. Major characters from season one

I meant the 3 smaller figures next to the stormtroopers.

[BrickBob Studpants]

Love the new Plo Koon and the Night Trooper BP  That yellow AT-RT on the other hand sure is… something  Part of me hopes the final version will look better, but the colour scheme will likely not change

[Llewop]

So is the clone BP coming in June then? I like the yellow of the walker. The rest is a bit underwhelming imo

might be on my own here but I’m hoping the night troopers are all human and not zombie heads. Even so it’s not the best for me.

maul mech looks pretty cool I think the microfighter might  be one of the worst they’ve ever done think Lego need to have a rethink of what they want from the microfighter series used to be a cool small build with a figure now it’s a cool figure with a meh build.

My thoughts…

Night Trooper BP: Excellent figs, mid build (I don’t hate it. I just think the sides are too flat. But I do like how the troop holders are reminiscent of the 2015 ITT BP build) I hope we can get some normal Death Troopers in a set soon (Rogue One 10th Anniversary Tie Reaper! Please Lego, I beg you)

Plo Koon Microfighter: Perfect 10/10 microfighter. Both the minifig and build are excellent and well detailed when considering the size of the set.

Maul Mech: It’s alright i guess. But having a shirtless chest plate when the minifigure isn’t that variant is an odd choice. There should also be a 2nd figure like the superhero ones.

327th BP: 

Inexcusable. The AT RT colour neither is canon or looks good. The spider droid is too squished.

Come on Clone Bros. If this is what you truly want from the theme, buy it! I dare you. Let it be widely known that you are the reason for horrendously designed and priced sets selling well and being acceptable.

(Bacta reference is cool though)

Very nice poster.... wait, is that a RANGE TROOPER HOLDING AN E-WEB BARREL AS A FIREARM? Obviously the perspective might be playing tricks on me but even towards the back it looks like the barrel is thicker than his arm.

Glad to see a new imperial shuttle class, always like ships that have a clear relation to other ships. I can understand why we didn't get this one though, the U-wing and Avenger are more important, and we didn't even get both of those.

It boggles my mind we haven't had one yet. It's been in Rebels, Mando, Andor, it's a classic Kenner toy... how did we get the UT-AT before this? I mean if we're talking Kenner how did we get the Sandspeeder before this?

It’s a battlefront rocket launcher I believe.

 

Yet we’re not even getting an Avenger. I know I’m beating a dead horse but this year is excruciatingly miserable for me (Lego-wise)

 

What makes it even more crazy is that the ITT has actual plot significance in many Rebels episodes. Whilst the UT-AT not only just appears to be blown up within 4 seconds, but could have easily been subbed out for an AT TE there would be no difference to the plot or scene.

Weren‘t the Death Troopers undead the entire time? If so, these two at least will have zombie heads  My guess is that they‘ll all have the head introduced last year.

I thought they were alive and then some sacrificed themselves in the end to get reanimated.

also it mad how June sets have leaked and we’ve only had sneak glimpses of the May wave

That micro fighter looks great. Always happy to be getting an extra astromech head, even if it will go on a spare Artoo body which won't line up colour wise.

Yes the AT-RT is too big, but Lego is always going to favour stability over accurate scaling and there's a point below which everything starts to become single stud or single clip connections to keep the size down, which is why most official builds of small vehicles are oversized by a factor of 2 or more. I know there are many minifig scale AT-RT mocs out there, but I wonder how many of them fall apart when looked at the wrong way.

Regarding the Andor poster, there's a lot of interesting stuff that could have been official sets but aren't (fingers crossed for the future), but on the flip side there's no U-Wing on the poster and we are getting that.

The AT-RT build is actually one of my favorites that Lego has done, just the CAT branding is a bit much and it's $40

Microfighter is one of the greats, mech is meh, and the LAAT/LE doesn't look at all like a LAAT/LE

[TotoMagnus]

Well…I do like Plo Koon. But that’s about it for me and this wave. 
 

I didn‘t like this color coding of Clones and their vehicles before, I don’t like it now. You could use this AT-RT as a Mining Guild Vehicle though. ☺️
 

Regarding the Range Trooper and the used weapon someone talked about: I think it is some kind of Rocket Launcher the Hasbro Figure comes with: https://yakfaceforums.com/main/2024/11/10/tbs-range-trooper-for-andor-confirmed/

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.

Of course I do. Even more so I want a TIE Defender. I already know this scene will be one of the best Star Wars action sequences.

But the real question is... why is my wife crying in the new trailer? Who did this?! I will hunt them down!

My guess is that she is in a galaxy far far away and just missing her beloved husband 😃.

I was thinking that Lego is releasing so many clone sets this year, because the Mando/Grogu movie is coming next year and Lego wants to make room for it (and also maybe more sets from Andor!!!!!!) and now is the time and space to do the clone-set party.

Judging by the way she’s clutching her throat… yeah I’m not sure whether you want to do that .

Yes. But a lot of Mando sets won’t be OT overlap sets as well.

Night Trooper BP... good in principle, nice figures probably, bad for army building:

• a 1:1 ratio of (mostly) grey and (mostly) white Night Trooper helmets is not good.
• the Double Death Troopers seem to be the same, which will look bad once assembled in numbers.
• and who needs them in numbers anyway? Eight or at max twelve would be enough.
• a 1:1 ratio of Night Troopers to Death Troopers. Yes, we had with the R1-BP too, but due to the more uniform look of the soldiers I though it was ok (not good)

Almost all of this could have been avoided by replacing one Death Trooper with one Night Trooper, and adding one or two new prints, most critically for the legs.

But let's see if one even wants to army build them after seeing season 2.

[BacktoBricks]

That AT-RT looks like it belongs on a construction site, but will reserve judgement on the clones until the final images come out.

Plo's new headpiece looks so much better than the old one which just always looked totally inaccurate to me. Great to see R7-D4's dome too although it would be nice to have the rest of him for that price as part of him isn't really that useful unless we're meant to be acting out the aftermath of Order 66.

We are living in the dark ages of Lego Star Wars I fear. They simply are just not executing things well at a reasonable price. 

[THELEGOBATMAN]

The sets are mostly fine, but I genuinely couldn't not care less about any of them.

Plo Koon's microfighter is actually one of the best ones we've ever got. The price, of course, is awful. Frankly, it doesn't have much more value than regular polybags—even more so, some of them have two minifigures for thrice as little. Paying 15€ for this feels like a scam.

Maul's mech is... okay, I guess? I truly don't care for it. It being a shirtless variant without a corresponding Maul minifigure doesn't make any sense though, no idea what they were thinking here.

The battle pack is, uh... cute. Haven't seen Ahsoka so I don't really know how appealing it is. It feels like a 10€ set, frankly. Doubling it makes me wonder if those sets are truly made only for hardcore Star Wars fans who couldn't care less how much they spend on there gadgets and gizmos.

I really like the other battle pack, but I've seen a lot of negative responses towards it here. No idea why that is, but I enjoy the walker's colour scheme (I love yellow—not a lot of people do). The terrain is an amazing addition, I really love how it looks. Of course, this nice 25€ set is hurt by being 40€.

Saying all of that, I still don't care for any of those sets. The prices are awful, and they seem very army-building focused.

Same, it's not something that really happened except for a couple of 501st vehicles in a few episodes of TCW. We know from RotS that the 327th didn't do it. If I do get the set (would need a serious discount) then the walker is going straight into the spare parts box. Modifying it into a Mining Guild thing is a pretty cool idea.

But why???

Generic human heads are like 20p each and they're just reusing the same half a dozen designs across all of them these days anyway so they'd be nothing special. The zombie heads are something actually unique and useful for other stuff.

And yeah as BrickBob mentioned the Death Troopers were already looong dead and decayed by the time of the show so it wouldn't make sense for them to have normal faces.

Fully agree with everything in this post. They've been messing up the ratios of specialist:trooper minifigures in battle packs since 2014; you'd think they would have figured it out by now.

Technically would need to be a different droid for Order 66: he only has R7-D4 in TCW and then a different one in RotS.

Maybe they'll find a way to include the body in the advent calendar like they did with R2-X2 in 2014.

I absolutely agree, I was going to say the same thing.  I think it looks quite good - I like the AT-RT and I think that the spider droid looks more like the TCW version than previous ones, but that's not $40 worth of stuff to me.

The prices have really shot up in the past 3-4 years, and I really think it's just LEGO jacking up prices because they can, knowing that people will still buy.  The perfect example is Obi-Wan's fighter being $30, on discount to $23, on store shelves at the exact same time as Jedi Bob's fighter for $40, which is literally the same set.  The manufacturing cost didn't go up, because they're still making new copies of Obi-Wan's ship and can somehow sell those at $23, but Jedi Bob's apparently costs $17 more because...???

Haha yeah my bad, I forgot about that. You could be right about the advent calender thing though.

Meanwhile, the logo is said to be $59.99 for 700 pieces...

With ZERO minifigures.

So just the yellow "STAR WARS" text and nothing else? 

Apparently there is a lever for some sort of function but I'm struggling to think of what that could be. Maybe they stuck a random stud shooter on it for """play value""".

Sounds like Lego wanting to appeal to consumers who feel embarrassed at the prospect of buying Lego lol.

I presume the lever will display the opening crawl of ANH or something along those lines. I always thought this logo would include some minibuild ships ‘flying’ around it but hey, guess not.

Night Trooper BP looks awesome (boo for no Enoch ), as does Plo’s Microfighter. The Clone BP looks uninspired, again getting some new droid variants like magnaguards would’ve really made this summer better.

Happy be proven wrong, but I don’t see much potential for this year to give us any true ‘heavy hitter’ sets the way we’ve been seeing the past few years now.

Wow, that is one really yellow AT-RT... I'm gonna need a bigger pair of sunglasses  
I'ts very bright, but I think I could get used to it (it helps that yellow have become a favorite color if mine, in recent years).
Those picures are definitely preliminary, though. The minifigures seem off and I hope that, as someone said, they are actually 212th troopers used as place holders.
I didn't even look at the rest 'cause frankly that's all I'm interested in  

Regards,
Mitch

[Meaf]

I'm kinda meh on the sets, that was to be expected though and I am glad we're getting a new Plo at least. Also on the subject of the mech, I would guess the reason why it's red instead of black is just to differentiate it from Vader's. If it followed the color scheme of the Maul minifigure included in the set, it'd look kinda similar to Vader's but just with a different lightsaber.
