Ah yes, i am aware of these leaks. Though i was under the impression it's another one of those employee gifts like the old Christmas X-Wing, rather than a set on sale. 

No the rumour was for Lego store exclusive, like the millennium falcon holiday special set, or the Rebels V Stormie pack from last year. Employee gifts are a very different beast and there only one a year and this year probably won't be star wars.

I believe the initial rumor was a christmas TIE and it was later altered to a christmas walker.

Thanks for clearing that up, did it say what kind of walker?

All of the other sketches have seemingly been directly traced over their original images, and this one looks like that too, so it's kinda exactly what it's going to look like and I feel like it's pretty fair to at least judge it a little based on the sketched outline.

Also, the Inquisitor Transport Scythe might be a fairly good point of comparison for this. It looks like it'll be about the same size, and it has ~100 more pieces, the same number of minifigs, and the same number of new/revived moulds (3) (4 if you count Obi-Wan's exclusive cloth cape, which would put it ahead), and yet it costs significantly less money.

Well yeah, i was merely joking, but it's good to know about the credibility of these scetches. 

And this right there is a perfect example of why inflation, while obviously a factor for all these price increases (like everything out there gets more expensive), is far from the only aspect that plays into that, like Lego wants some of us to believe. The set simply released too recently to make it a one way road. There will be absolutely no justification why the upcoming Turbo Tank (yeah yeah we haven't seen it yet) will be 50/60% more expensive than the Inquisitor Transport Scythe.

Okay, so this will be the next shop exclusive, then. That's what i wanted to know. Thanks. 

It's supposed to be a Gingerbread AT-AT. 

 

Day #7 of asking Lego not to obliterate the upcoming Clone Turbo Tank. 

[CloneCommando99]

Bacara’s helmet looks good. On the other hand though, it’s made me realise Lego’s probably going to want to reuse this. And there’s only one known way they can….

*Sighs*

I can practically smell 501st BP 3: Electric Boogalee next year. It reeks of unfortunate inevitability imo.

 

Day #20 of Tie Avenger grovelling (please Lego, do an Army Trooper BP to tie in with an Avenger instead of the above)

Personally I count the 332nd one as BP3, but BPs2 and 3 are almost retired, and it won't be long before that $30 set with two 501st troopers also retires! If lego doesn't replace it and make sure we have AT LEAST 3 sub-$30 sets with 501st clones on shelves at all times, it means they hate clones and want the clone sets to fail!

Alright, that came off a bit bitey, but if we're looking for places for the Bacara helmet a pack of the battlefront 2 classes wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. So long as 2026 overall has a more varied lineup content wise.

Also further proof that the people shutting down valid criticisms of LEGO by saying "JuSt BuY bLaCk SeRiEs" don't have any idea of what they're talking about. 

I don't think that really works. 

Black series making a mistake doesn't discount the idea that if you're striving for very close accuracy lego minifigures are not and never have been the correct place to go. (For one thing, the proportions aren't even close to accurate human ones). It's like saying that because your local burger restaurant messed up your order, you should be upset that mcdonalds doesn't garnish their fries. The two establishments- the two toylines- don't have the same priorities, exact manufacturing and detailing processes, etc. Lego definitely makes errors but half the time when they release a clone- and ONLY when it comes to clone troopers- people act like they want 2inch tall Hot Toys figures.

At the end of the day while lego can always do better- things like light color printing not taking to dark plastic, for example- at a certain point people are just expecting a level of accuracy that lego isn't meant for. These guys have trapezoids for torsos and rectangular legs with no knee or elbow joints. I feel like there's no conceivable scenario in which you shouldn't expect a $20-30 black series figure to have a higher degree of accuracy than the (believed to cost about $3 to produce) minifigures included with building sets.

AT-AT

 

I have gotten a good deal farther in Andor and I do think it's overall not much of a step down from the first season. I do get annoyed by all the props and set dressing that I can immediately recognize from the real world- I feel like they used to do more kitbashing, and at the end of the day it's still weird for me to see the OTHER type of tie in star wars, or just crates I've straight up seen in real life-  but the story and acting are both very well done. I do find it funny that the empire appears to be dead set on annihilating literal France. But as it comes to lego? No- we're not getting anything more, and I totally get why. Putting aside the maturity, this isn't a show for kids in terms of attention. There are entire episodes without action scenes or starfighters or anything of the sort. Kids would not be interested in a playset of Dedra's apartment or Cassian's apartment or Mon's apartment or Syril's office or the ISB rountable. The TIE avenger is the only real standout, but then we do have to dive into the maturity aspect- it's possible we could get one based on the first scene of the show, but I don't see lego going out of their way to do it when they still have TIEs from the movies and other kid-friendlier content they haven't done. And it doesn't have many show-specific things that lend themselves well to 18+ sets. A Fondor Midi-scale is the only thing I can think of, or- force forbid- a buildable B2-EMO.

I take issue with this statement But seriously, Ghorman and France don't have a lot in common. Ghorman has to import all its resources and France is one of the countries best able to sustain its population with its own resources.

Lego could still make sets for Andor but like you said it is more a series for adults and there is also not so much set potential. Besides Tie Avenger Lego could bring the Fondor or B2-EMO but both have not such an impact in S2 (I still want both as a lego set 🤩).

Therefore I get what you are saying but I hope you a wrong. We will know when the wave of 2026 drops.

Bacara's helmet looks good!
Getting slightly more hopeful for the UT-AT/CTT set now  

Also, really hoping for more August wave pictures coming soon

Honestly most realistic part of Andor seeing that the Empire’s officer corps is predominantly British.

(I’m joking of course)

Fair enough.

Still praying for the Tie Avenger though.

(ISB round table would low-key be a great diorama)

 

I’m surprised Lego’s not created a Luthen’s shop subtheme at this point seeing how they’re now so obsessed with buildable objects.

A full sketch of Bacara is on Reddit now don’t like this new trend of sketching but it’s crazy if that is a way of being able to leak and not get in any trouble. Figure looks good. Out of curiosity does his helmet match that of any other trooper?

Nothing we've had in LEGO before, but yeah it's the heavy trooper helmet from 2005 BF2 (also some sort of trooper design within the Galactic Marines since there are actually like 5 of them in the Order 66 scene on Mygeeto)

[BrickBob Studpants]

If this drawing is to be believed, then cloth kamas are back?!  Better late than never, but Rex and Fives sure could’ve used them!

Perhaps dual moulded legs? Could go either way based on the sketch, but there seems to be a grey outline which they don't usually do on cloth kama pieces (or at least haven't in the past for SW) which might be printed if the legs are dual moulded.

This reminds me, i know i'm getting completely off-topic right now, i was recently reading that France is the first country worldwide where local supermarkets are bound by law to donate any left over groceries to those in need. Can you confirm that? I mean, that seems like such a good thing to do. 

 

Having watched Tales of the Underworld by now, i already can't wait for Lego to don't do anything about it.

Ok just wondering if there were any odds on it being reused for other figures. In the same way we are all hoping for more death troopers at some point in the near future. I’m still hoping there are more figures coming in this set

Not in terms of that, though between the dialect coach's statements about the Ghor language being based on french phonetics, and the showrunner's statements about it being meant to represent Nazi-occupied france, it's clear things like Syril's beret aren't coincidences. Sort of like the scotland planet from season 1.

As I've said, it's one of my issues with the show- I think especially for a show aimed at adults, we can afford to be a bit more subtle than having the space nazis occupy the France planet- but overall still a good show that won't get much more lego representation.

To be fair that's been established since A New Hope. 

 

Do. Not. Give. Them. Any. Ideas. Lest 1HY 2026 be entirely comprised of buildable Kel Dor masks and artifacts from Aldhani.

I really hope it's true that cloth waist capes are back, Bly and Bacara would look great with them.

[Max_Lego]

Even if cloth kamas are back, Rex and Fives' legs are already compromised without any chance of redemption...

I don't care if we're sick of Clone BPs, I will take any classic Battlefront set especially if we get an imperial version with a Phase 0 Dark Trooper (and hey, it would still technically be a clone BP in that regard).

Well, I'm originally from the States so my knowledge of French culture is still somewhat limited. I know that had been the case in the past, but I don't know if groceries stores are still required to follow that regulation.

Interesting, I hadn't heard any of that behind the scenes info yet. To me Ghorman came across more like an Eastern European country than France. But now I'll have to re-watch the episodes with France in mind.

If Lego can give us literal Zombie Stormtroopers, they can give us the Ghorman plaza as a set. My kids would have far less trouble with Stormtroopers being bad guys and shooting civilians than with zombies. I actually skipped the reanimation scenes in Ahsoka when we watched it together as a family.

[Yperio_Bricks]

I wish we would get more Andor sets! It's painful to watch such a quality show and getting almost nothing in terms of sets, in terms of vehicles, locations and characters.

I really liked the blue and black senate troopers. Need a battlepack with both, the regular and armored versions. Lego please! (It will never become reality, like the regular and armored Pre-Mor troopers )

Yep, the one Ghorman city is clearly modeled after French cities. If you look for houses in, for example, Grenoble or views of Grenoble with the mountains in the background you'll get the similarities. The Ghorman city looks more homogeneous than a real city but the houses are clearly modeled after French architecture. The Ghor language instantly sounded French. For the architecture style look up the term "Haussmann buildings". Ghorman city:

Even the imperial troop carrier is modeled after a WW2 German armored car. See the sloped sides of the hull with its prominent lines, the silhouette of the front of the hull and the pods/wheel covers:

I understand. 

 

Andor is just... the best Star Wars that isn't your typical Star Wars experience. Perhaps it's so freaking good because of that. As you finally break out of all these black and white schemes, good vs. evil, the force, lightsabers etc. You let loose of all that and what you get instead is a more mature, serious show that deals with all these grey areas. You can say, it shows you what Star Wars still can be after all these years. I appreciate the grounded and gritty approach. The complexity of the characters and how you don't need to rely on the action for the big moments. Sometimes you are straight up just watching a powerful monologue for a couple minutes and that's that. Or an entire episode goes by with next to no action whatsoever. But when it actually ramps it, it hits twice as hard, because they were building up the tension brilliantly. Which - in my eyes - justifies the slow pacing for the most part. When the shit hits the fan, they are not holding back and everything feels so visceral. The cinematography is stunning and a sight to behold. The acting is great across the board. Some of the music gives me goosebumps. I could go on and on... Only criticism that i have would be some uneven pacing here and there. And that some of the set design feels a tad too much like real life.

Well yeah, I'm having a tough time to imagine the look of this set going off of these scetches... accurate as they might be. Not too huge on PPP in general, but considering near 20 cents per piece, this whole thing was obviously of to a rocky start. I know it will be an outrageously, unfairly overpriced set. To me, most Lego (Star Wars) sets are overpriced nowadays anyways. It's less a question of if and more a matter of just how much. But given the natural discrepancy you can have between the actual product and the company behind it, there is lots to like or love as well. It's either high quality yet too pricey, or just the latter. So, like always, i wonder what camp the CTT will fall into... or if it even covers some middle ground. But as far as i'm concerned, i think this set is bound to deal in absolutes.

I mostly agree with your take, except for this part. Andor is still very clearly about good vs evil, since the Empire is arguably the most evil we’ve ever seen it on screen. Less moustache-twirly than blowing up a planet just to make a point or frying enemies with force lighthing while cackling maniacally, but still unambiguously evil in its actions and the coldness with which they are planned and conducted.

Also, there is nothing wrong with good vs evil storytelling. I don’t like stories where everyone’s a morally dubious douchebag
