This.

 

Part of me is still holding out hope that Lego will pull a 2023 Executor (surprise set with no previous rumour or number) with a 3rd Andor set. I’ve basically given up hope on DC so I guess my hopium/ copium supply had to go somewhere.

It was a part of an important scene though with Order 66, the GWP with Jangos Slave I is even more obscure 

If a Sandspeeder can be made so can a UT-AT

Either way it will still have the Galactic Marines and Bacara so I won't lose any sleep over it not being the UT-AT as long as I get those figures

It‘d be hilarious if it wasn‘t actually an RTG set after all, but it definitely will be since Jedi Cad Bane has been hinted at before   We still don‘t know what kind of vehicle it is though.

Hear me out it's a Tales of the Underworld set with an occupier and the lawman Duros from the trailer, who was interpreted as "light side cad bane", then again interpreted into "jedi cad bane"

(Obviously it's most likely the Tiny Tank with Jedi Bane and two random OCs, but it is funny that you can even work a duros into the concept.)

Look I'm all for obscure vehicles, I'm not upset we're getting the UT-AT (Though it should be in a different wave and not stacked up with a bunch of other clone sets- either do variety or commit to representing one scene/battle), but it is pretty obscure, and it's not really a valid comparison to claim a $150 set is the same thing as a GWP.

Sandspeeder came out of nowhere and made zero sense even at the time. I think we still don't now how or why that happened.

Some clearer pictures of the U-Wing boxart are out! The other guy is Captain Crunch in disgui… I mean an ISB Tactical Agent

[CallumPears]

Ok so the Devastator chasing the Tantive is actually pathetic. I guess I shouldn't have expected much though. 

Did we know about a pilot Luke Brickhead? I don't remember it being talked about but maybe I just missed it since I don't tend to care about Brickheadz lol

(Both of these are from Fateful btw)

Yeah that's nothing. It's an easter egg. Really doesn't improve the set quality IMO, it's still a very strange choice for a set.

I believe we did, just most of us are the same as you here so it didn't really get discussed. Solid build, though.

[Tariq j]

That Tanitive scene is hilariously bad. You’d think they would remember the Devastator is meant to be much larger.

No. I believe that’s @THELEGOBATMAN on date night. (Crushing rebel scum is Dedra’s favourite past time)

 

If the Galactic Marine set turns out to be just a bridge that would be an absolute waste of a set slot. I know I’ve been critical of the UT-AT actually warranting a set with its 2 seconds of screen time, but at least that’s a cool looking tank and would probably be understandable if this was a more balanced year for factions.

Micro-builds can be nice Easter eggs but this just seems even more inconsequential. Although I love the idea of the Tantive IV being as big as an ISD 

Curious to see more pictures of the U-Wing. Given the older photo from March with the opening bay doors it seems like it can accommodate another 1-2 minifigures so at least K2 should be able to fit in there. It wouldn’t have been the worst thing in the world if we didn’t get a buildable K2 and that price point / piece count could have been used for a larger U-Wing, and then the existing U-Wing’s slot could have been used for a TIE Avenger instead.

The minifigures for the U-Wing look fantastic too. I do wish they’d use the Lloyd Garmadon hairpiece for Cassian as it would be more accurate.

Hopefully not long to go until we get full summer set descriptions!

Regarding 75399, have there been any comments yet on the design of the storm trooper helmet featuring the box art?

Isn’t the piece count for the price quite low for the marines? So does that fall in to a higher chance of it being a vehicle set or a location set? If the leakers have seen that we are getting the commander and marines surely they’ve seen what else it comes with and maybe they weren’t sure of the vehicle? 

I know it’s another clone set and yes it only had 2 seconds or exploding screen time but since when has that been an issue for SW in general? We got that Jakku quad jumper that blew up in a similar amount of screens time and we also had a few first order vehicles which didn’t even make it to the Final Cut of the films as sets. I don’t see a set of a UT-AT being an issue like a lot of people keep mentioning because it had so little screen time. 

I just cannot picture what else that set could be apart from a UT-AT. I know there’s a lot of clone stuff on the shelves but surely the AT-TEs time is coming up and that could be a nice new big republic vehicle to replace it.

This is actually an Avengers Doomsday set, where Ant-Man will travel to the star wars universe and enlarge the Tantive so it can fight back. He forgot to enlarge the occupants so nobody can control the ship and it crashes into Mos Eisley, tragically...

The funny thing is I have seen people claim that the $1000 death star makes up for no other OT system sets, like 90% of lego star wars fans have a continuous 2ft sphere of shelf space and the down payment on a Toyota Camry lying around

I don't think obscurity should necessarily stop a set from being made, if the UT-AT wasn't coming in the the clone bonanza year I wouldn't mind it, but "the bridge Ki-Adi Mundi dies on" is definitely testing that obscurity belief. Maybe there's a Republic Fighter Tank driving over it.

It just showed up a few minutes ago on *shudders* the platform that sounds like Ribbit. (I feel like saying the platform name is probably allowed, but I'm unreasonably proud of "the one that sounds like ribbit")

Perfect; many thanks to you! For the Empire!

If there's one thing that bugs me about this set, it's the fact that out of all the faceprints they could've chosen for a generic Empire trooper, they went with Syril Karn's one... like come on, how did absolutely no one during the whole process thought of mentioning it?

I do agree that obscure sets like the UT-AT shouldn’t not be made. I think the wording of my point was quite confusing. You’ve @Swordy’d me.

Maybe. Weird how we may see 2 different RFT releases in the time since the last play-scale Luke’s Land-speeder, Snowspeeder, A-Wing and Y-Wing. Wasn’t one of the Clone Bros’ main arguments before this clone extravaganza that those sets like those were remade too often.

Impressed by the figures of the U-Wing, especially Cassian. More and more I’m further enticed to buy the Rebel fighter.

Looks like an example of forced perspective to me, although more than likely it’s just a way to keep the ships recognizable. Either way, it’s something you won’t see as much if at all, and thus not a main selling point.

Syril wanted to show up in at least one set with his love.

Andor S1, E2

A bridge could use LEGO City road plates, so I guess it’s possible. Still, who in his right mind would buy 100 of a bridge to army build a random clone legion? (Besides MandR, of course.) If not a UT-AT, my guess is a Republic Acclamator or Frigate.

Leakers might’ve seen a parts list containing dark red troopers and a couple large gray plates. They might’ve heard that someone had seen Galactic Marines being manufactured. They might’ve overheard a buddy mention to the local baker how excited the designer is about bringing Galactic Marines into LEGO form.

It’s not just obscurity, but relevance coupled with price.

The Quadjumper was released while the hype of TFA and the Sequels were at their strongest. It was also less than $50, not to mention included the two main characters of the film. Even despite all that, did the Quadjumper sell well at all?

Let’s consider the Justifier, which was only a year late to release alongside its respective media, and only a few months out from loosely tying into TBB S2. It even featured a fanfavourite bounty hunter, the missing main character of TBB, and one of the main characters of Mando Season 2.5. Yet the $100+ price tag tanked any sales.

The UT-AT apparently wasn’t pressing enough to produce in the year RotS released, nor within the two years following, nor even in the year it was set to rerelease in 3D. It hasn’t reappeared in anything from a saga film to an episode of TCW. The UT-AT is not any more relevant now than twenty years ago, it won’t even feature any main characters, and yet it receives an $100+ price tag. This set is (Dr.) doomed to burn.

I agree, I couldn’t see any other build that ties into the Galactic Marines I’d rather replace the UT-AT—which brings into question if the time to make Galactic Marines has passed.

I don't know how big of a trend this is but I saw a ton of comments imperialposting ("take the L, long live the empire", "cope and seethe, rebel scum", that sort of thing) under one of the Andor TV spots and I thought that was a lot of fun.

Glad that I can pass on what I have learned and @Swordy others

If we're talking Rebel Y-wing, it would end up being THREE RFTs in between, unless people wanted to count the baby one in Yavin. I'll be fair enough to say much as I think it's important for the main OT vehicles to be on shelves, some of the main PT vehicles should too, but I'd hardly count the RFT as one. (IMO it's not as defined as the OT since there's just so many onscreen vehicles- the PT lacks the certainty of the TIE fighter or X-wing instead opting to put out a much larger number of vehicles with less individual screen time- but I'd say a Jedi Starfighter and Laarti should more or less always be availible- though with the Laarti in a falcon position where it's more of "if it does well it stays on shelves for half a decade" rather than getting a new gunship every three years- I'd put the AT-RT here too, not so much because of the vehicle itself but as it's an entry level clone vehicle.) 

Anyway point being I'm not opposed to the PT getting remade vehicles frequently, though I think for them due to the nature of the films it's more archtypes than specific models, but either way the RFT is a wild one to get two or potentially three models in between rebel Y-wings.

The U-Wing turned out really well despite the downscale imo, should be a reasonably good deal if it ends up being the same price as Maul's Ship.

I wonder if there'll be another Andor set next year that reuses the ISB tactical agent, usually these unique trooper variants don't only show up in one set (except for the Mimban Stormtrooper). 

Maybe he'll show up in the Advent Calendar or a magazine polybag

Definitely seems like a bad idea to charge Millennium Falcon/Star Destroyer prices for something that 95% of fans or casual consumers won't recognize.

I don't think Quadjumper sold particularly well either, I remember getting it on a pretty steep discount. Honestly turned out to be my favourite Sequel set though, it's a solid compact ship with room for three minifigs, and could fit in any era of SW.

And here you thought Lego only loved Republic clones. 

Syril should've gotten a unique face to begin with, Resistance/Rebel/Stormtrooper/Action Man has been the generic minifig face for a while at this point (10 years and counting), so if anyone stole anyone's face, it's old boy.

Identity crisis aside, why isn't the ISB Tac Agent more Kallus-esque? I know that's a Disney question more than a Lego one, but this uniform feels rather lazy. Basic white armor with a black cap. How original. I'd have rather gotten a regular ISB Agent. I do like the shield piece getting more work, though it could use a print.

Eh, they might have changed the uniform between Rebels and whenever this guy appears (he could be from closer to RO/ANH since Andor S2 spans a few years). It would be a very Empire thing to standardise armour across their troops where possible as the stormtroopers become more widespread.

I would accept this answer if Battlefront II wasn't a (canon) thing. Also, unlike real militaries, the Empire doesn't shift uniforms a lot (or at all). Almost all major troop types remain unchanged for 20+ years. I just don't like the new armor design, it doesn't feel all that different from, say, the Hovertank driver. I like the chest armor idea from Rebels, it reminds me of LEOs that wear a kevlar vest during raids and such.

I think that the different armour design is just because they're a different type of trooper. The Andor ones seemed to be relatively low ranking 'grunt' kind of troopers, while Kallus and presumably the one from BF2 are presumably higher ranking, dedicated ISB field agents. For example Kallus was a captain, with the ability to commandeer other imperial forces. I just can't see this tactical trooper as being anything more than just a low ranking soldier that's part of the ISB.

[McMurder_them_softly]

I'm turning a corner on the U-Wing. I like it, the figures especially. I'll wait for reviews. It doesn't seem as good as the old one, but I love Andor and maybe I'll get it.
