Mas Amedda and Sly Moore are coming in Lego? (Death Star??) from Childish 

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.

Yup- it's better than getting the 41st again.

I always thought the idea of it only being Ki-Adi, Bacara, and 2 GMs was strange. I assume there'll be at least one more GM, maybe a "driver" too, and some droids of some kind are almost a given.

Like I said I don't think blind praise is good either, but complaining about Dedra Meero's legs of all things this year feels like looking at a flaming haystack and complaining that the needle inside it has a manufacturing defect. Especially when the U-wing seems to be comparatively good value.

And then lego learns the wrong lesson from it, as always. "People don't like these sets? It must be because the clones aren't 501st. More blue clone battle packs!"

Interesting. They were never on the DS that I know of, but I guess it adds exclusivity to the set...

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.

75413 is the Turbo Tank. It was originally leaked as 75414, and people assumed 75413 was a UT-AT due to the figures, but the original source ended up having the numbers swapped. 75413 is a Turbo Tank with Galactic marines.

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. 

I'm annoyed that they fully redesigned every part of the Super Battle Droid last year and still did not put a single connection point (whether stud, antistud, bar-sized hole, etc.) on their back. 

The only times we ever see a blue MTT deploying troops in TCW it was SBDs every time, so it would be nice if that's what they go with for this set but not sure how they'd go about it (I have seen some cool custom models which did it but not sure how legal the connections were in those).

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.

So originally, the rumor was that 75414 was a Turbo Tank, and 75413 was a set with Galactic Marines, which people believed was a UT-AT due to the figure lineup.

75414 was then confirmed to be a RTG set, ultimately clarified to be a Hot Rod Snowspeeder. 

75413 was then rumored to potentially be the Turbo Tank, but a different, less reliable, individual claimed it was an RX-200. That individual's claim was debunked, and it is now confirmed to be a Turbo Tank.

Not quite. The actual timeline is this:

Part/figure sources learned 75413 had Galactic Marines. Leakers heard this and assumed it MUST be a UT-AT.

Meanwhile, a Brick Tap source posted that 75414 was a Turbo Tank. He also mentioned in my DMs that 75413 was a flat ship similar to a T-47, but that seemed insane to me so I didn't bother making a graphic. (Turned out he just had the numbers swapped, as we now know)

By the point, other sources have said that 75414 is a Rebuild the Galaxy set. So at this point the public was under the impression it was  UT-AT and a Rebuild the Galaxy set, but the Brick Tap source still was adamant that it was a turbo tank.

Then that source was able to get updated information confirming that the sets were indeed a Turbo Tank and T-47, but he had the numbers reversed. 75413 was the Turbo Tank, and 75414 was a Rebuild the Galaxy T-47.

Then finally, an unreliable source who some people trusted based on his name (DaveBrick1995) claimed it was actually a RX-200 Falchion-Class Assault Tank. Nobody else said this but him, and it was incorrect.

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.

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.

Oh wow, guess that means that fig list I saw with Galen and Krennic might have been true after all.

I don't like this to be honest. Krennic is fine- Galen is at least understandable considering while we never saw him ON the death star, he was pretty heavily connected to it and the death star's architect makes sense as a death star exclusive fig. But Mas and Sly are just tangentially connected by being part of the same faction, but they aren't even military roles- it feels like they're throwing in exclusives for the purpose of including exclusives, whether they make sense or not. 

All this to say I'll be perfectly fine with it so long as next year we get a Mas Amedda vs Sly Moore senate pod microfighter two pack.

Yup. There are much better places to put them- I won't even say "it's better than not getting them" because at $1000 very, very few people are going to get them. I could easily see Mas reaching pre-microfighter Rex prices online.

Of course! Are we blind? Deploy the 41st garrison!

Yeah, I know- I'm sure they'll unfortunately take up another big set slot before this era's done. I think we'll see wolfpack too, though that doesn't bother me as they've been a pretty hard legion to get ahold of and are fairly prominent in TCW.

Yes, exactly. Many things aren't black and white- as you say, including what's intended to be white prints on black parts! I think Dedra's a solid 8/10 fig at the end of the day. I don't really care much about her (No offense intended, @THELEGOBATMAN) but it's a good representation.

One of the most impressive things lego's done is manage to turn a number of big clone fans against the clone sets. You, me, the guy who's literally got clone commando in his name...

I feel attacked here.

But yeah. Over saturation is a problem. And ignoring cool things such as the Tie Avenger in a year where it’s 100% more relevant than a Glup Shitto legion with 5 seconds of screen time, is just way too annoying when it’s at the detriment of said relevant cool thing’s chances at getting made. (I will not let this go, however annoying I may end up being, it’s just too perfect a piece of play-set material from a exceptionally good piece of content to go to waste) 

 

For the record like clones. I just prefer the empire. I have this username because I like a cheeky bit of alliteration and because I had TBB on the brain at the time of making my account.

(Also it makes more sense to have a custom GL paint job on clone armour than stormtrooper armour)

Agreed.

Also, Krennic and Tarkin should in no way be kept exclusive to this set. They are both main antagonists in  multiple pieces of media at this point. They 100% should not be locked behind a $1000 paywall!

The ministry of silly hats and the emerging “why the kriff are we even in here” squad are fair game though imo.

[BrickBob Studpants]

I was gonna buy the DS anyway, but if they really include Mas Amedda and Sly Moore, and perhaps even Krennic and Galen, this is gonna sweeten the deal substantially!

Sure, paywalling these minifigs behind a $1000 set isn‘t exactly fair, but Mas and Sly in particular aren‘t characters most casual fans and kids are clamouring for, so adding them as an incentive to a set intended for superfans isn‘t completely unreasonable in my eyes.

It‘s also not like there‘s another super obvious set where they could be featured. Let‘s face it, if the senate chamber ever gets made (and that‘s already a long shot), it‘s gonna be for Yoda and Palpy‘s duel, and they‘re not gonna feature two characters in such a set that mostly stand around menacingly.

Realistically I wonder if they figured it wasn't a big deal replacing the 41st in the Turbo Tank since they are a prime candidate for a future battle pack, being a heavily featured clone corp and a fan favorite.

[Darth_Bane13]

I think the ROTS sets are a bit disappointing this year, we're not getting any main characters of the movie and the sets are just vehicles seen in the background. Also I know it's been said, but no Tie Avenger is crazy. They also could've made those speeders/transports the stormtroopers and the other imperials were riding on, instead of the 327th battle pack.

[BrickBob Studpants]

I hate to say it, but after that scene from S2E3 (iykyk), I‘m not sure if TLG will be willing to revisit Andor ever again. Besides follow-up sets to the shows being the exception rather than the norm anyway

I mean, it's a series for adults, and it's not like it wasn't apparent before.

If LEGO made a set after Season 1, I don't see this affecting the chances of more sets (which are, anyway, really low).

Sure, but they upped the maturity level even further with that scene. There was nothing quite that dark in S1!

Fair enough, but I don't think it changes anything.

I feel like the Ghorman Massacre is gonna be even darker though—but still something we're more used to seeing on the screen, especially in big budget projects. But man, I love that they really aren't holding back when it comes to showing the atrocities of the Empire.

I'm gonna still hold my hopes for a TIE Avenger prototype. (Probably in vain, but one can still hope.)

In my mind, the chances got really low ever since we learned that K2 was gonna be the second tie-in set, and this just twisted the knife.

That said, we still can‘t rule it out entirely! TLG remain unpredictable after all

One of the Twilight movies had a similar scene content-wise, and they were still willing to release a set based on the series, so I don't think it would rule out the possibility of future Andor sets.

I believe an R-Rating/TV-MA is the only thing that would truly prevent Lego adapting something (except that one time with Echo)

Does it? Twilight's main problem is that one of the main characters is a pedophile romancing a baby, which isn't any sort of critique; it's just there, pretending to be a completely normal plot thread.

I don't see how it's comparable to Andor in any way; whether it's awareness, the level of maturity, the similarity of topics, or how they were handled.

Anyway, I guess we're getting off-topic, but I agree that LEGO views it in a more black and white way—is it R-rated? No? Then sure, sets aren't a problem.

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.

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.

Regarding Mas and Sly: Maybe (hopefully) the GWP isn’t a TIE Fighter, but the Chancellor’s Podium with these 3 figures to recreate the proclamation of the Empire. 
 

Otherwise the inclusion of Mas and Sly in the Death Star Figure line up wouldn’t sit right with me. Sate Pestage and some of his buddies would fit better, for example.

GWP sets never include new parts, and for good reason. They‘re too expensive to be produced for a set that will only be available for a couple of days  The best you can hope for with any GWP is 2-3 new prints.

[TotoMagnus]

Dammit, there goes my hope for a more suitable minifigure line up 😁

Thank you for the new parts part. Didn’t think about this!

 

(…or Lego won’t use new parts and just print the horns on the torso or reuse „kinda-looking“ parts for the head #maniacallaugh😈)

[Agent Kallus]

I mean it's easier for Lego to reuse existing figures than print new. So hopefully not all of the new and exclusive death star characters will stay that way!
