I wonder what people’s thoughts on it more than likely being downsized compared to previous ones. I’m oddly a fan of the downsizing most of the time it’s been done well. It’s not on my radar this set as I’m not really a clone wars fan but if it looks good and the price is right who knows. 
 

finally finished my post Andor watch of Rogue one, and you know what it does completely change the film for me it’s still my favourite. They need more grounded wares type films from the rebellion. You can’t really do it live action with the clone wars but surely there is a story in there somewhere for that kind of thing. 

Also you don’t see Andors body so he could be alive lol anything is possible

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.

Replace a reused Obi-Wan with a Season 1 Anakin and I can definitely see something like this happening. No way there’re not reusing that P1 Pilot and Anakin in his Clone Wars armour has been a highly requested minfiigure for ages now.

But I agree with all of you. The P1 Pilot helmet looks perfect and even seeing the new Galactic Marine torso and helmet, despite me being apathetic to that particular trooper legion, is getting me quite excited for the summer wave. 

My expectations for Obi-Wan in the V-19 are quite high. I sincerely hope he has arm printing and perhaps an updated hairpiece.

Yes Tie Avenger, (with range trooper and test pilot cassian) Maybe a spider as an Easter egg.

 

when do we expect the Death Star plans?  Really want to know more about it.

Stark Industries sticker in the cockpit.

 

Bodhi's still taking the plans to Jedha. It might be a month or two before the Profundity gets them off Scarif.

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.

That's what I said- even if it's outside the strictly OT content like a Defender or Reaper, I just want more imperial representation.

I'd love an Endor D2C, but given they space out the MBS sets and- as of now- stuff like the death star is still taking up UCS slots, I think it'll be long enough that it wouldn't be bad to get some system ones next year.

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.

The clone pilot helmet is so good I'm pretending it's fake so as not to get my hopes up. That's some seriously quality craftsmenship. I'm not buying the torrent and this'll definitely run $20-30 on BL after it comes out, but hopefully they can put it in a microfighter or something so I can grab a pair for my modded gunship.

The Galactic Marine helmet, on the other hand... I can see the concept, but I don't think this needed a new mold. This could have been spent elsewhere.

I guess the question is would you prefer them to print it? Considering that there'd be a good chance of the colours not matching or whatever other issues might arise with that. 

So if they're dual-moulding it which probably means new moulding equipment anyway they might as well do it properly and get the details right.

Oh, I’m going to have fun with this.

Joke's on you, I can read Aurebesh already (it took at least 4 minutes to decipher your message)

Yeah I mean it's a dark color on white even modern lego is capable of printing that without too many issues.

Day #23 of asking Lego not to run a tank over the upcoming Clone Turbo Tank. 

Thanks again @Mandalorianknight for helping me out in these dark, troubled times. 

I don't know about your first world Lego problems, but due to the anticipation alone, it certainly ain't easy being a Clone fan right now. That and... Oh, it sounded like i was trying to state more than one reason.

Supposing that in this hypothetical they're using the snowtrooper helmet, I feel like they might struggle to print a dark colour like that over the entirety of such a dramatically curved surface (as in, the semispherical part on top of the helmet) without it ending up looking a bit faded in some parts, plus colours being dual moulded always feels a lot more solid than when large sections of colour are just printed. Printing works best for details and small things, but for larger colour-blocking, dual moulding is ideal imo.

Agreed. Dual-moulding this helmet may seem excessive, but I think they’d have a hard time getting it right with printing. Printing the dark red parts onto a white piece would have to cover a pretty large surface, and printing the white part on a dark red helmet would be even worse for obvious reasons (Captain Fox sends his regards)  This was the right call

I wonder which piece leaks next, since we now seem to have gone back to that type of leak?  Not that I mind that, I’d rather be drip-fed than starved!

Sticker Sheet next? 😅

I especially like the Clone Pilot Helmet. Hopefully this figure gets available via a Microfighter or even better: A magazine, since I don’t need a V-19.

Day #34 of asking for a Tie Avenger. How many Lonni’s do I have to leave on benches to achieve my objective?

Here me out: TCW style galactic civil war animated anthology series.

Starts when rebels abandon Yavin. Ends with the battle of Jakku.

No main characters, but there are more prominent ones. We get arcs featuring: Wedge, Omega, Luke, Leia, Han, Kleya, Wilmon, Hera Zeb, Vel, Mon, Norra Wexley (before Aftermath), Rex, etc…

OhmyGod, there's news 

The new Phase One Clone Pilot helmet looks very good!
Do you think that mold could also be used for any other clones? The only fin-less clones I can think of are commando troopers, but something tells me they'd need an entire new mold altogether.

I think the Galactic Marine torso looks great as well. It seems very accurate to me

Mitch

The new moulds give me hope more generally! TK StormTroopers, Commando’s, ARF Troopers, AT-RT Driver. Many options, including Plo Koon’s excellent new mould which gives me hopes for Jedi redesigns and new moulds altogether. 

[BrickPrick]

According to @Childish_Landino, the new MTT will be similar in size to the 2014 model, but the overall shaping is supposed to be much more accurate. A printed dish is used for the front hatch. The rack can hold half a dozen B1 Battle Droids. Both Commando Droid(s) and Pilot Droid(s) will be included. Price remains unchanged at $160. 

Nothing groundbreaking. But i honestly didn't really expect anything else. No Commander B1s would be a bummer, though.

Only 6 battle droids is terrible, Lego has learned nothing from the last MTT.

They wouldn’t have needed to have learned anything if they still made bank on the 2014 MTT.

 
Where is the money going here? It’s not even a troop transport. It’s practically just a vehicle with some extra leg room. Troop transports require space for at least a squad to even be worthy of the name. 6 isn’t even half a squad of droids. 💀

 

2026 needs to save us. Though I’m not so sure if it will now.

It is. But since i didn't expect the build to be significantly bigger than the last model, I didn't expect any bigger interior as well. When we still thought it was coming with 10 B1s, only then was i somewhat hopeful for a larger capacity. As things stand now, it sucks for sure, but it's hardly surprising.

And if they made bank on the 2014 MTT, where do you think the money is going for the 2025 one? It's going straight back to Lego. They are like good old Ben Kenobi saying "of course i know them banknotes, they are mine!"

Everyone's aware here that Lego is making less per $ of revenue now than a few years ago, right?

Like these price hikes are because cost of production and design has gone up and up more than the prices per set have. Be frustrated all you want, but Lego isn't making an "inferior" product to profit more than it used to.

No, i wasn't aware of that. Still not sure i am now. All i remember is Lego making record revenue year after year. Not by much, but they do. I'm not too sure what timeframe you refer to by "a few years ago". 

Oh, i like to think that's all they want you to believe. Inflation here, rising costs of resources and production there etc. While those things are very much reality and surely play into it, i am not naive enough to believe that's all there is to it. Like you won't ever see a multi-billion company come out and say "we are just too greedy to avoid any more price hikes for you". They say stuff like "we have been absorbing those costs for years". 

I never said it does have to be an inferior product to make more profit than you used to. Might as well be another one of those test balloons, where the quality stays about the same, but the price still increases an considerable amount. 

Also i'm not frustrated in the slightest. Why would i be? This is a good year for me. Lots to look forward to.

I mean yeah but I just thought with all the fan backlash maybe they'd throw us a bone and have it fit 12+ b1s.

To be fair, they're not going to do a massive set redesign over backlash to a leak a few months out. That's logistically impossible.

Wasn't there backlash about the troop capacity for the last one like 11 years ago? That's surely enough time to adapt
