More news would always be appreciated. Especially if it’s regarding Andor and Rogue One’s status in 2026 sets. Well yeah... we did. But to me that does feel like ages ago. Right now, it feels like watching a two hour movie. You want to enjoy it, but can't. Because the pacing drags on and on and nothing really happens. And at the halfway point you think you have already watched like three hours. You still remember what happens up until that point, but you just want things to finally get going for real. Even though you know you don't have a lot of time left. 13 minutes ago, Kaijumeister said: My main hope is that the already abysmal ratio of buildables to play scale sets doesn’t continue to tip in favour of the former next year. How much longer until we have more 18+ and various other formats than actual system scale sets? It already feels kinda close this year. Edited May 27 by BrickPrick Quote

I imagine from the trailers will get a new AT-AT, a scout walker, if the rumour's are true then the new razor crest, and probably a set with Jabbas son is as well. If they try to cover all kind of sets then maybe they’ll either have like a mando mech, a buildable IG droid (maybe with Grogu in the middle), maybe a random imperial ship or new republic ship. Generally there’s opportunity for new things but considering the imperial remnants inclusion and Mando working freelance for the NR I do expect new versions of existing OT ships maybe in different colour schemes And new figures. Of course with any new Star Wars film there will be a new Stormtrooper type that has never been seen before but is suddenly expected to exist :D Next year also has Ahsoka Season 2 and Darth Maul Shadow Lord coming out so there should be plenty of new content to pick from. I'm still hoping Lego does something for Rogue One's anniversary next year (or at least wrap up Andor) and the prequel era continues to get a decent number of sets (can we finally get a new Zam Wesell already?) I wouldn't mind if the Original Trilogy takes another break from the regular playsets however. 2027 will be the 50th anniversary of the original film that I feel it would make more sense to wait until then to release remakes of the X-Wing, Y-Wing, TIE Advanced, Landspeeder and Millennium Falcon again.

Same. I've had issues with set choices, design decisions, etc in the past but this is the first year where I've been concerned for the direction of the theme. It's splitting into two categories- "18+ buildable" and "clone set", and that leaves a LOT of people out in the cold. 2026 could end up balancing the ledger and being a big chunk of OT playsets with some Mando movie and maybe even ST or Gaming stuff, but they could also double down and we get a clone wars logo, mando logo, some clone helmets, and 84 501st battle packs. 1 hour ago, Kaijumeister said: My main hope is that the already abysmal ratio of buildables to play scale sets doesn’t continue to tip in favour of the former next year.

That's a good point- they did a fair bit for Ahsoka S1 and it's gotten more post-show support than the rest of the disney+ shows (besides Mando), so season 2 should also get some solid coverage. Not too sure if they'll give shadow lord anything right off the bat though. Not two full years without it! We don't necessarily have to do ANH sets- there's been a serious lack of Endor coverage in recent years- aside from the diorama I don't know how long it's been since the last endor set- and a new playscale Cloud City would be a lot of fun.

CallumPears Posted May 27 Posted May 27 Possible Galactic Marine torso leaked (idk if it's a trustworthy source but it looks decently legit, and from a quick check it doesn't match any custom ones I found). Looks alright but there's a weird issue: I think the belt is wrong. It should have the big pouches at the sides like it does but then between them there should be 2 smaller ones; instead there are 3. I get what they might've thought from looking at a screenshot from RotS (can't attach but if you see the post on Reddit I've put the same comment on there with a picture for comparison). They might've thought the dark parts were gaps between pouches and the white parts are the pouches but I believe it is in fact 2 dark grey pouches on a white belt, and several other screenshots I've checked all support this. Weirdly they got the belt right on the standard Clones and you'd assume they would just copy it over but apparently not? Quote

I don't think we need Original Trilogy sets specifically for more Imperial representation (or Rebel Alliance/New Republic) in Lego. We can still get that through the Mandalorian and Grogu, Ahsoka, Rogue One and Andor. More Endor is definitely overdue but I'd rather that came in the form of a D2C that includes both the Shield Bunker and Ewok Village. I'd love for the Death Star to be the start of Star Wars receiving yearly location D2C sets in the way Superheroes and LOTR have been getting, especially if its no longer taking up the two UCS spots.

CloneCommando99 Posted May 27 Posted May 27 “Systems either change or die” - @THELEGOBATMAN’s waifu System sets are now either all changing into Buildables/ clone sets.

Frankly, i never ever heard about the first two words. But thanks to you, i will use them in the coming days. That will bring me a little closer to my actual goal. Ha, no i was actually referencing Fives from TCW when he says that someday this war is going to end. Oh, please maker not another 84 501st Battle Packs. It's been like 84 years since we had anything else! Like i alluded to before, i think Lego forgot that Endor even exists. Where is the MBS Ewok Village, the Bunker, a Endor Trooper Battle Pack, an AT-ST (new UCS one might be based on that)? Cloud City is criminally underrepresented as well. Why can it ever so rarely get normal sets as well? Remake the 2003 classic, do a standalone Cloud Car... just do something with it!

Llewop Posted May 27 Posted May 27 So the torso and half the helmet for the marines have leaked. It’s looks like it’s dual moulded? But without the other bit I can’t really tell if it’s good or not. But I presumed they would have just used the old snowtrooper helmets but maybe this will be used for the snowtroopers for a mando and Grogu set next year? Quote

But I presumed they would have just used the old snowtrooper helmets but maybe this will be used for the snowtroopers for a mando and Grogu set next year? Aside from the issue with the torso print I mentioned above, this figure looks really good so far. They totally could've got away with reusing the Snowtrooper helmet but I'm really happy that they didn't as they do have different shaping for the face which they've captured perfectly so far. I doubt that they'll use it for future Snowtroopers as like I said they do have different shaping, and there's no way they would've got rid of the current Snowtrooper mould with how often they use it (not in any sets at the moment but the UCS AT-AT only just retired). It'd be like reusing the 41st Scout helmet for an Imperial Scout Trooper. That said, a new Snowtrooper helmet would be nice as the current ones can't have backpacks due to the updated neck bracket piece not fitting under the old helmet mould, but using the Marine helmet for them wouldn't be accurate. 4 minutes ago, CloneCommando99 said: Unprinted version of the clone Pilot helmet leaked. 🥵 Oh baby the clone bros are eating gooooood right now If the print is as good as the mould then I'll definitely be bricklinking a few of those to replace the helmets on my 2013 pilots. (And P1 pilots don't have the vents on the side like the standard troopers do, so shouldn't be affected by them getting that detail wrong on the 2022 P1 troopers) Edited May 27 by CallumPears Quote
Llewop Posted May 27 Posted May 27 Am I being a nob or is this piece by piece leaking annoying anyone else? I’d rather they just do at least figure by figure or the whole set at once. Quote

Maybe they legit just don't have the rest yet, though someone who posted the Marine helmet said they've had the physical piece in their possession for a while which seems a little weird. Quote

I’d rather they just do at least figure by figure or the whole set at once. Leaking just torsos is one thing—annoying at that—but new helmet molds are always cool to see, in my opinion. Not to mention none of these have been crops of renders, so that implies that we’re getting info alongside the sources, and of course that’ll be piece by piece.

CallumPears Posted May 27 Posted May 27 (edited) Someone on Reddit posted what they claim is a sketch of the Marine's legs, with a printed kama. Not sure I believe it. First of all it has print all the way down to the feet; there's no way it actually goes that far down. Also it appears to have an armour plate on the crotch area and pouches over the kama which Galactic Marines straight up just do not have so if this is real then it's inaccurate. I reckon they just traced the standard Snowtrooper legs and added a couple extra details. Edit: ok I've compared them and the top half is literally identical the the most recent Snowtrooper design. I am 100% sure it's fake. Edited May 27 by CallumPears Quote

The clone pilot appears to be phenomenal. My one gripe is that I do not care for the V-19 as a Starfighter at all. I know I’ve been disdainful of more clone sets recently… but a reuse of this pilot (and maybe General Kenobi) in an attack shuttle next year would really hit the spot. Quote
Darth_Bane13 Posted May 27 Posted May 27 I just hope they keep the wing mechanism from the 2008 V-19 torrent on the new one, also the new V-19 may be more accurately scaled than the 08 one but I could be wrong. Quote
