They still have my main man Kuill locked behind $600; at least Krennic was available in a regular retail set under $200 USD, albeit way back in 2016.

Plus Krennic could show up again if they ever revisit Rouge One or if they include him in an Andor set, which is probably more than we can say for Kuill </3

I think it's the other way around- lego is a lot more likely to revisit Mando S1 than Rogue One or Andor

How many Death Star figs do you guys reckon will be kept exclusive? They can’t lock a literal main character like Krennic behind that paywall. Can they?

Ministry of silly hats and other officers (bar Tarkin and Jerjerrod) I think are fair game though.

Given the way the theme is going, most figures who aren't re-uses.

As for characters, unfortunately I think all of the new ones. I think it's important we see Tarkin in a system set again but he's an OT noncombatant, I don't think lego cares or thinks he's a draw anymore. Same with Krennic. As for the other officers and Ministry of Silly Hats I think most of them stay exclusive but that doesn't bother me as much- while I'd like a silly hat minifigure I can understand them being exclusives, you'd have to do a full year of imperial vehicles to slot them all in sets.

I still can't get over "we're not locking desirable characters behind UCS sets anymore" and then proceeding to make a significant chunk of the figures included in UCS sets exclusive. Yularen is at least a little understandable from lego's perspective, largely being a background officer in TCW (though I just realized it's fairly likely that 2 out of Yularen's 3 figures will be UCS exclusives come october) who would really only make sense in another venator. Kuill is a major character in Mando S1 who would work in a number of sets based off the show (a new RC, his homestead and/or a blurrg based set, you could reasonably place him alongside a TIE outlander, etc.)

Wasn’t Tarkins last system set the first star destroyer 20 years ago?  I think he has only been in the Death Star since (excluding the tan rebel outfit).  I agree tarkin should be in a system set, but part of the problem is he really hasn’t been for a very long time (and throwing him in a tie fighter set would have been an easy win)

He was also in the 2016 Vader’s Tie vs A-Wing

 

 

I do wonder if the next Battlepack next year will be a imperial battlepack. 
 

The UCS AT AT was followed by the Snowtrooper BP

The UCS Venator was followed by the Clone vs Droid BP

Recently it appears that faction UCS ships are shortly followed by a Battlepack corresponding to that faction.

I think the only one that definitively was because of the UCS set was the AT-AT. The Venator having a clone BP after it doesn't mean anything more than the clone BP this year after the Sail Barge last year. We just get a lot of clone BPs.

As much as I'd like an OT imperial battle pack, I think between clone mania and the Night Trooper pack it's unlikely we see one with normal stormies/navy troopers/scouts/other variants anytime soon. I would love to be proven wrong though.

I would count the rebels outfit as it's still Tarkin, just a different uniform. But yes, it's very rare, which is why I think it's important he shows up in a system set soon.

My money would be on the next BP being for the Mando movie. My crystal ball says we’ll get a few sets in January. Some gimmick sets in March and then May onwards Mando movie 

With regards to the DS I used to dream about getting the last one and how lucky I would be but this one just seems too expensive $1000 I don’t think I could justify it. Depending on the pics I want to love it but I have a feeling I’ll just pick up the figures I want of eBay/bricklink and just settle for the figure I already have that’ll most likely feature in the set

See if we're talking just about popularity then I'd agree, but I think there are other factors worth considering. Obviously Rogue One and Andor aren't super high priority for new sets, but if we get any at all then I'd say there's a good chance Krennic would be included given that he's a major antagonist. Conversely, I'm sure we'll see tons more Mando sets, but I don't know if there will be a lot more focus on season 1. We've already got 3 seasons and BoBF, and now the movie is happening, and there'll definitely be more after given his popularity. With the pace Lego covers new material, they don't really have a lot of room to go back and do sets based on the previous seasons. I'm sure they could if they really want to, but I guess I just don't think it seems like a set with Kuill would be a priority any time soon with how much other Mando stuff Lego can do.

They'd be CRAZY to do a full year where all of the vehicles are from one faction, unless it's a movie wave, right?  Right?  

 

Anyway, regarding the minifigures of the DS, I think the big question marks are whether or not they do anything from Rogue One (it'd really just be Krennic and maybe like 2 Death Troopers if anything?).  I'm assuming it's a given that we're getting both ANH and ROTJ figures (no chance they could get 40 from one movie unless 30 of them are either Stormtroopers/Imperial Navy/Gunners/Crew/TIE pilots or random officers, which would be a very boring selection).  I'm guessing the main ANH cast are a given, obviously Vader, Palpatine, Tarkin, 2 Royal Guard plus ROTJ Luke gets us to 13 already, then probably 4-5 named officers (Yularen, Tagge, Jerjerodd, Motti, one more?), a Death Star Droid, at least 2 Imperial Navy troopers, 2 gunners, 1 TIE Pilot, and at least 4 Stormtroopers, and then we're at around 27 figures, which still leaves 13 slots.  Do they fill it with random officers?  More crew members?  A ton of Stormtroopers?  The only other non-army type figures that I can think of are Palpatine's advisors (I think we'll get at least one or two) and then if they wanted to go silly with it and throw in a Beach Trooper (though I'd be really disappointed if our first ever classic video game minifigure is locked behind a $1000 paywall), but I'd imagine it'd pretty much have to be just a ton of officers and troopers.

My belief that Kuill's more likely comes from a few things-

1. Mando S1 has the worst coverage of any season, was the longest ago, and is also generally the most well regarded (though my personal favorite was S2)- lego doesn't always do what makes sense but it makes more sense for them to return to S1 than to shove out more S3 sets.

2. While Krennic would be likely (if no gurantee) in some Rogue One sets, I just think it's exceedingly unlikely we get any more Andor sets anytime soon, or Rogue One ones for that matter. The most likely option for a Rogue One revival was the U-wing, and that got remade as an Andor set. I just don't see them putting a mid or large sized set like the Striker or Shuttle out, and they wouldn't put Krennic in, say, a hovertank remake.

I'd love for your theory to be true, don't get me wrong, but I don't see lego doing it.

Well, clearly- I mean there's so many issues with it. To get all those figures- who have a fanbase behind them, but I wouldn't call them set sellers- out there, with how many 18+ sets they crap out nowadays, you would need to make almost every system set based on that faction. And they've done the most popular vehicles from that faction recently already, so you'd start getting pretty obscure. Not to mention the diminishing returns of focusing on a faction that's been neglected in the past but received significant coverage recently, as well as that doing this would mean very few system sets, if ANY, for other parts of the franchise. Lego has no reason to be so short-sided and neglective of other parts of the fanbase... what were we talking about again?

[Lego Nostalgia]

Honestly what's the point of a Stormtrooper BP if they are going to be the Family guy helmets, plus they only go for 3$ on bricklink, you could buy lots for the price of 2 battlepacks

Throw in a Shadow Trooper or Deathtrooper, Incinerator Trooper or Scout then I agree but we'll never get cool Imperial BP's like that anymore, best imperial BP's were the BF2 Imperial, Rogue One Imperial, 2008 Dropship ones

[Kit Figsto]

I mean, not everyone is using them to army build, and you have to consider that probably 90% of LEGO buyers don't use Bricklink.  Me personally, I never buy figures/parts off of BL, because even if it's "new", it's not (unless it's an advent calendar figure or something that was explicitly bagged separately and is still in the sealed bag).  In my eyes, once it's open, it's no longer new, which means that someone who parts out a set isn't selling "new" parts.  

Also, given the makeup of most BPs lately, I think it's likely that it'd be either 3 and 1 or 2 and 2, with eitehr 3 Stormtroopers and one variant (Sandtrooper, Death Trooper, Scout Trooper, TIE pilot, etc), or a location-based pack that's 2 standard Stormies plus two variants (either Endor with 2 regular and 2 Scouts, Tatooine with 2 regular and 2 Sandtroopers, or something DS based with 2 regular and then like an Imperial Navy guy and an officer or gunner or something).  The Mandalorian BP is 2v2, the Hoth one from a few years ago was 3 Snowtroopers plus a scout, and even the clone ones have had some sort of variation - the original 501st had a jet trooper, the other 501st had three different types (if anything, people were complaining that it WASN'T a good army builder, since two of the guys were slightly different) and the 332nd had Vaughan and two guys with jetpacks.  The only one that I'm not sure about is if the 327th has any variants.

I can't wait for the wave next year where we get an Imperial Dropship, TIE Crawler, TIE Bomber, TIE Advanced, Vader's TIE, TIE Shuttle, Star Destroyer, Super Star Destroyer, TIE Armageddon, TIE Rex, TIE Inflictor, TIE Warmachine...

Or something, I dunno.

I wouldn't completely rule Andor out. We're still getting sets from Ahsoka and its not like the show has much else beyond the Fondor Haulcraft and new TIE Fighter variant.

Rogue One is never going to get a full wave of sets again but I think there's still a chance something could be on the cards next year for the film's 10th anniversary. It really comes down to whether Lucasfilm is planning any cross brand promotion to celebrate it across its different merchandise partners. I think the AT-ACT would be the perfect choice for something like that if it wasn't for the classic AT-AT appearing in the Mandalorian & Grogu movie, and between the two the latter seems the more likely to be released next year.

I actually wouldn't mind a Battle of Scarif set in the style of Yavin IV and Vader's Castle though. Would be an easy set to cover the whole Rogue One crew, reuse Krennic and K2-SO and throw in a couple Imperial troopers.

You gotta let the helmets go man they're here to stay. We know you don't like them. Lego clearly isn't changing them. Plenty of us still want a stormtrooper battle pack.

Aside from the fact that most lego buyers don't use bricklink, for me personally, I want one because A: I'd like more scouts, navy troopers, army troopers, etc, and B: In terms of stormtroopers, not only am I always looking for more and will almost always take buying a set over bricklinking figs, but with how lego shotguns different heads under the helmets in sets now it's a lot harder to mass order them on BL. It's not like older figs where you could just click the one listing and find which sellers had the quantity you wanted.

Everything else aside we are long overdue an advanced.

Did you make up everything after the SSD or do I not know as much about TIEs as I thought?

The issue with Andor isn't that it'll have been awhile since release, it's that it's not a very family friendly or lego friendly show. Ahsoka's a family friendly, action and cameo heavy, almost mythical show, whereas Andor is incredibly grounded. The best scenes in it are monologues. It's the closest star wars has come to a sex scene and by far the most "boring" for kids. Ahsoka got after-the-fact sets because of all the spoiler content. Andor S1 didn't have any and I doubt S2 will. I loved the first season but I don't think the show is getting more sets.

The anniversary is a good point with how much lego's been shoving those out. The only question is whether or not it's relegated to 18+ gimmicks like TFA is this year.

Something like this?

(This was a few years back, excuse the choppy siding)

I went off of this image, I'm pretty sure most everything on here is either made up or probably from a no-longer-canon 90s novel/comic book, but I thought it was funny nonetheless. &nbsp;Some of it is just ridiculous, which is par for the course for most of the old EU.

I am here to express solidarity with your opinion on possibly upcoming Stormtrooper Battle packs. When building my Stormtrooper army, I go for accuracy, not availability (2012 torsos are hard to find, while 2014 troopers are quite expensive nowadays).

Although the post you linked to is clearly jonkling (though it didn't stop fans from recreating most of those absurd TIE's in 3D), I agree with the point about the silliness of the old EU (which still doesn't make the new Canon better in any way). I don't understand when insane, crazy stuff is treated completely seriously by the writers. 

As for me, I'd say that even if the new Death Star includes all the Imperial minifigures I've been dreaming about (armorless Stormtroopers, officers, etc), it would still be problematic for me to acquire them because of the set's price. I can only hope they are going to show up in a more affordable set someday. 

I am not sure if TLG is ever going to realise a Yavin 4 Rebel Battle pack, based on ANH, not R1. A must-have for me...

Seriously. At least the escape pod is a versatile build for normal clones and even imperial with a colour swap.

Edited March 28 by CloneCommando99

[Kit Figsto]

I'd have to disagree, I think this is better.  If it's armorless Clones + a training area or a room on Kamino, I feel like that goes with the Slave I a lot better than a kind of obscure TCW reference set + two more Young Boba figures with different expressions.

This deal is getting worse all the time ...

Seriously though, I think it could go either way. Personally I'd rather the information was totally erroneous and the three minifigures are even more exciting than more clones.

Yeah it appears most of that is, as one commenter under the post puts it, "some guy on devientart level of canon", but it is still funny.

Thanks for keeping us updated.

Honestly this is a little better than the child TCW cadet ones. At least it's more related to Jango and the figures are ones I've seen nonzero numbers of people ask for. But it's still "wow, instead of obscure clone #167 it's slightly less obscure clone #138".

In a normal year I wouldn't mind this one (unlike the original GWP idea, which was unilaterally awful), but this year of all years it's just rubbing salt in the wound.

Exactly. As much as getting some obscure clones in a GWP sums up the year, I'd still much prefer we get almost anything else. Or even just INTERESTING obscure clones.

But at the end of the day this is an improvement. A small one, but still an improvement.

That's actually something I've wanted for years, so... Sounds like one of the best Star Wars GWPs ever! I just hope there'll be both blue and red fatigues.

[ARC2149Nova]

I for one would love a Republic escape pod. It's more useful to me, albeit I'd take Sinker and Boost over some cadets, but the cadet uniforms are something we sorely need, so I wouldn't care. Add to the potential for younger faces in the medium flesh (?) tone is quite welcome also.

A training facility is somewhat difficult to properly achieve in a GWP size, unless they go for the $40-set equivalent. The only training room we've seen in canon is the Citadel Test afaik, and that would require the soft-shell uniforms, which, while nice, I think most of us hear "Training Fatigues" and think of the red shirts, which are also more preferable for dioramas.

The only time we see the red shirts are in the mess hall (AOTC), and the barracks (TCW), neither of which screams "training environment."

tl;dr: Escape Pod is my first choice, an excellent build with figures of decent potential (after all, all clones look the same ), while the training facility is too vague/inaccurate of a description to really justify any reaction.

[Tariq j]

I’m guessing it’ll be similar in size to the Lars Homestead Kitchen GWP? I wouldn’t mind the training facility honestly. 

[wesker]

I don't mind getting the Kamino facility. The Republic Escape Pod would've been a better build but I rather get the red shirt clone cadets from AOTC over three recycled Boba Fett minifigures.

I wonder if we'll start getting any set reveals for the May Star Wars wave next week?
