I megablucking love it when a ship deploys its troops on the battlefield and then proceeds to provide aerial superiority!!!

Sentinel-class landing craft from Rebels is my personal favourite. I'd love to see a more or less accurate set based on Rebels specifically, of course with Thrawn, perhaps Vult Skerris and Pryce, and S3 versions of Ezra and Sabine. Not because I am a fan of Rebels, but because I love this shuttle ship and I like Thrawn

The real question is: who would they add as the 4th figure as that’s the current pattern with £60 sets? The turncoat tech is too obscure. I know it’s not accurate to the scene, but it would be cool if Lego decided to reuse Krennic from the DS as he is a major player in Season 2.

Bold of you to assume they'd put a fourth figure in! But you could throw in Bix or Brasso just as easily as another baddie. It'd be a good way to get more Andor-specific characters in there, so I daresay it might even be preferable to Krennic.

It feels bad to say about the victim in that scenario but if we did somehow end up getting a TIE avenger set I'm pretty confident they'd shy away from having figure outfits or boxart implying the wheat field and it'd instead be based on the initial escape with the rocket launcher range trooper.

We got a Sentinel fairly recently- let's meet in the middle and get a new TIE defender out there.

Yeah most likely, and I'd prefer that anyway tbh. As much as it'd be nice to get the main characters I really need some of those dripped-out Imperial troopers. 

And yeah the 2018 Sentinel is basically perfect so a Defender would be a great choice if they do another Rebels set at some point.

I mean I'd be fine with a new one too, but just as happy with the existing one. I don't want those figures- at least the ones that could fit more easily into sets, like Nien or (in the droid workshop AC at least) Cal- to be more availible. I don't want to have to pay $46 for the cheapest Cal in my country.

In theory, i like the idea of choosing never before done characters (which would otherwise be difficult to put in regular sets) for the anniversary minifigures. However, in execution, half of those figures, Cal Kestis certainly among them, could have easily released in a regular set. In Cal's case... very clearly alongside his crew in a Stinger Mantis set.

If the reasoning against it was that A it's not popular enough cause it's a video game and B the age rating is not appropriate for kids, i don't get it at all. The range is definitely there and at the end of the day, it's still Star Wars. But yeah, having to pay an excessive price on the after market (boosted even further by the fact that he released in the most expensive 25th anniversary set), is obviously the downside of all this exclusivity. 

 

To whom it may concern, you will be able to connect the side builds of the new AC, resulting in some sort of larger workshop.

Also- why is this where the sequel presence is coming in? No Kylo or Poe minifigures in half a decade, but god forbid the public is deprived of Babu Frik and a recolored BB unit. (Happy Frik is out there now, of course, but still a weird choice. I wonder if we're getting Anzellens in TMAG sets next year and they moved one up to use for the AC.)

Yes indeed—Maker forbid we the people are further deprived of the one and only fabulous Babu.
A new print for a BB unit is only due to the continued production of the UCS Falcon (from which we also got Rey and Porgs a couple years back), while Kylo and Poe simply aren’t in any form of continuous production. If anything, it shows how little TLG is willing to invest into Sequel sets.

Glad we're on the same page, this one is phenomenal! 

Tonight (okay tomorrow night maybe depending on where you live) we celebrate the small victories this year has brought us. Babu Frik is one of them.

 

The B2 build in the AdCal doesn’t quite deliver for me, but I’m glad to see him acknowledged. Now if only we could get Kino and Bix as 27th Anniversary figures.

 

22 hours ago, Max_Lego said:

Battle Droids' backpacks are back!.. Yes, I know that the B1 from the AC has got one, but I didn't realise that TLG is going to stick to them! That's definitely a good thing 

I wonder if the B1 on STAP is at the same scale as the Droideka...

Funnily enough I’ve used the same build for my droids for a few years now; glad to know I won’t need to worry about depleting my tan plate collection anytime a droid comes along.

It has to be, right? They’re in the sameMy thought is that the STAP was thrown in as a way to inflate the price; after all, we can’t have a $40 SW buildable on shelves.

I was about to say this exactly, lol.
To showcase or even imply the dark moments in SW is antithetical to why TLG chose SW as their first IP partner in the first place. (In that light, it’s bothersome to see multiple Order 66 sets—however, not one set has all the necessary components to carry out Palp’s orders, so I guess TLG hopes kids won’t mind?) I still very much want the main characters of Bix and Brasso, but completely understand and respect that TLG wouldn’t want to even generally acknowledge that moment. The things one too many people online would do…

I second the TIE Defender.

TIE Defender sounds like a great idea, and, though I dislike its canonical look in Rebels (the Elite was even uglier), I still think it would be a nice set (with the beforementioned minifigures, of course). 

I hope someday the quality of Lego sets will be so high that I wouldn't need to create MOCs. But, sadly, it will never happen...

[BrickPrick]

You guys can have your TIE Defender... in the next spanish Lego Magazine. 

As i said, Lego's ways of when, where and why they do things or not are... mysterious to say the least. It's almost like some employees are stepping out of the wrong elevator on any given day. Like a Star Wars designer is accidentally invading one of the Lego Harry Potter guys offices. And it goes like "What wait, you are actually doing lots of exclusives minifigs in your calendars? Why are we ever so rarely doing that?" And then they stumple upon a drawer thought to be lost to time. "Early designs for Babu Frik? Ain't that the tiny little dude from one of those Sequel movies we used to ignore for over five years now? Yep, let's go." 

Pleasently surprised the Death Trooper & Night Trooper Battle Pack will go back to the 20€ price point. After the last price increases for the 332nd Ahsoka's Clone Trooper and Ambush on Mandalore Battle Packs, to 21 and 22 Euros respecively (plus the price hike to $23 for this very BP), a return to the 2022 standard was definitely not on my bingo card. What in the Billund Billionaire beloved bubble, a price reduction of any kind for Lego Star Wars wasn't on my agenda at all. Wether you want to wait for 20/25% discounts or 30/35% definitely does make a difference to me, so this one is nice to have.

To be honest, this isn't the first time exclusive minifigures show up in Star Wars AC - for example, we had Antoc Merric and U-3PO (a fine addition to my collection!), etc 

I am very glad Babu Frik showed up at least in an official set, despite all my hatred towards the Sequels. Honestly, it's weird how many famous characters are yet to be realised as official minifigures. Also, some characters definitely should return, especially Count Dooku

Yes, that's why i wrote "ever so rarely". I own U-3PO, skipped the 2018 AC. It's just that it happened a long time ago. And there were so many HP calenders which all featured exclusive figs since then. To be fair, their quality standard is usually not on the same level as Star Wars. While the figs naturally often come with short or medium legs, they rarely have any leg printing, share a lot of the same faces etc. That probably helps a lot cutting costs. While completely new Star Wars characters (not just new versions of already existing ones), are often dependent on producing expensive new moulds. 

I am glad for the people who finally get what they wanted. Hopefully i will find someone taking this thing off of my hands... for a reasonable fee. 

Well yeah, tell me about it... I mean, getting Asajj Ventress again is awesome. But getting her even before Count Dooku is just crazy. I'm telling you, Lego doesn't want to do his curved lightsaber hilt piece anymore! For once, i say, screw any accuracy, and go full Mando Darksaber mode!

Let's just hope for the best. Dooku is too significant for TLG to completely ignore him forever. Besides, there is a chance that Saruman may show up in some LOtR set soon

Yup. We need a stinger mantis.

B was the given reason by the designers, but as you say it's obviously not true- I think A is lego's actual reason. They didn't know if the first one would do well, made just the one 18+ set after because they weren't sure if the hype would stay up, and weren't prepared for the second game to also do well. I think the odds are good that we see a Mantis for the 3rd game now that they know the Jedi series is consistently successful.

Alright I know I've been critical but I do really like that. I'm glad you can combine the builds into a big workshop.

One and only? There's like 50 of him in mandalorian, is he a hive mind? (Jokes aside I'm very confident that the mold was created for an upcoming mando or TMAG set and they just moved it up for the calendar.)

 

I agree- though even then I don't think it's the same. Order 66 is very much fantastical- clone troopers killing alien space wizards with laser guns (I know it's plasma bolts that's not the point) whereas that Andor scene is not.

It's just the artstyle- look at the normal Rebels TIEs. I think a Defender set, even of the lego one, would contain standard imperial TIE proportions.

[AD_Bricks]

I finally got around to watching the first 3 episodes of Andor (watching with my dad and we've ended up a bit behind), and I would like to formally file my application for the asking LEGO to make a TIE Avenger club. It easily has enough screentime for a set, and WOW it was so much cooler in the episodes than I expected even based on the trailers!

The good thing is there are so many significant characters Lego simply can not completely ignore forever, the likelihood of getting them slowly but surely over time is quite high. That's at least how i like to see it, glass is half full as often as possible.

Yes, we do. 

B is kinda funny, because Fallen Order already fell under this kind of Disney demanded morale compass with no dismemberment for Troopers and such. A sounds like a bunch of mambo jambo to me, so it's not hard to believe Lego would have thought that way. But yeah, we got the buildable BD-1 first, the Cal Kestis minifigure second. Third time's a charm. It's not too far fetched Lego will come around for a larger play scale set as soon as Jedi 3 drops in 2027 or so. 

Yep, this could be a neat concept for future AC iterations as well.

I've seen that some June sets are already available for pre-order, but the Star Wars June wave isn't. How does that work? Are they usually available for pre-order?
Thanks in advance!

Wow. That’s fantastic. Props to Lego.

 

In other news, today I was able to buy a sealed 2015 Shadow Trooper BP from the local Cancer Research where I occasionally volunteer for £7.50. (Before you judge me, it was that price before I clocked in for my shift)

My Imperial Intelligence Unit grows!! (The lovely Dedra Meero being in command of course)

It also just goes to show what gems you can find from time to time in the local charity shop.

Once again, impressive... most impressive improvement since >> insert date here <<. It may take Lego quite a while for remaking older minifigs with new moulds and all, but when they eventually do, they usually knock it out of the park. This will be absolutely worth the wait. Although i might bite the bullet and get it at merely a slight discount right away. Then i will be able to annoy some friends and family by saying Koh-to-yah about one of my favorite Jedi all day long.

My word. I know there's 15 years between these figures, and Star Wars figs especially are done to a pretty high standard on the whole these days, but that's a massive improvement. And in such a cheap set too!

Generally larger sets are more likely to be availible for pre-order, but other than that it seems almost entirely random. I'm sure lego has some logic behind it, but I don't know what that logic is. As far as I can tell, aside from being generally smaller sets, the June SW wave just lost the dice roll.

I'll return the favor and branch an alliance between the two groups. Avenger in January 2026 as a "spoiler set" or lego sees the demand and makes one in 2027, Defender in August 2026. Outlander vs New Republic starfighter or Mando's N-1 in a 2-pack in March 2026.

I am so many levels removed from judging you here- you're volunteering at a cancer research place after all-, and in very many levels of confusion. We have Goodwill in the US where you donate stuff to them and they sell it and it mainly goes to providing jobs to people who have trouble finding them, but I've never run into a cancer research place that sells stuff, much less one that sells retired lego for significantly below bricklink prices. 

[BrickPrick]

So, it has been not that long ago when the total amount of new 2025 moulds was believed to be at an all-time low. I don't know if this negative record has changed in the meantime, but right now we have a new head mould for Plo Koon, a new hair-hat combo for Dedra Meero, probably new helmet moulds for Commander Bacara and the Galactic Marines and a new piece for Babu Frik... anything else that we know of?

Ah yes, that's right. This brings the overall count to at least six new moulds for 2025 right now, with three officially confirmed and three heavily rumoured.

 

Still curious about a possibly new Mas Amedda minifig. Either his misplaced inclusion in the UCS Death Star means he will be in a different set instead. Or his very existence was straight up megablocks to begin with.

On behalf of a rather coincidential Order #66 posting of mine, no matter how you celebrate today, i wanna wish each and everyone a happy Star Wars day. May the 4th be with you... always.

And remember: 

"In the galaxy far, far away,
Where the Jedi Council tries to save the day...

There's Obi-Wan, the charming knight,
Always drinking, and high as a kite.

Yoda, wise and green, chuckles all day long,
Mace Windu's firm, with a purple saber strong,

Ki-Adi-Mundi, big head, no clue,
Palpatine’s tricks got Anakin feeling blue.

His troubled soul, Padmé's love like the sun,
But can her light keep him from what he might become?" 

Credit goes to someone probably more creative than me.
