Makes sense to time the release of the F4 set closer to the film’s debut, can’t wait to see how it looks. With all the hints we’ve been getting over the past week, I’m more excited for Marvel’s summer wave at this point than I am for Star Wars. Fingers crossed we get a set list soon.

Remember the good old days where we all thought the saturation of 18+ sets during 1HY25 meant we’d get lots of cool system sets during the summer? Those were simpler times. It’s almost comical how much this year is largely split between 18+ sets and clone sets with very little in between. I wonder how many new minifigure moulds we’ll be getting this year. Given the abundance of clone sets they’ll obviously only need to reuse the P2 helmets for the vast majority of them. Still holding out for an Enoch in the Night Trooper BP. Super happy to hear TCW Season 1 Obi-Wan is included with the V-19 though. If Mace of all characters can get arm printing there really is no excuse for Obi-Wan not to. It’d be cool to get Season 1 Anakin with the MTT too.

Obi-Wan and Anakin in their Clone Wars armour would definitely make this a must-buy for me. But yeah like the rest of you have said, the clone-heavy nature of the summer wave is quite disappointing to hear about. I still don’t understand why sets on Fallen Order / Survivor are out of the question :(

From the Brick Tap Discord server. Looks like even more Sony Spider-Man sets are coming.

Yeah I’m hoping the Armoury prelim we saw wasn’t finalised, I can’t fathom basing the set on Iron Man 3 without including the Mark 42.

@a_clay_brick made a really helpful post on the usual platform (not IG, the other one) summarising the known rumours for August 2025. 75428, 75432, and 75433 are still unknown for the summer wave, taking us to 7 system sets for the summer as a whole (assuming those 3 are system sets). Can’t wait for more information. I know clone fans are eating well next summer but there’s still a lot we don’t know and I doubt Max’s positive hints for next summer were directed towards clone fans only.

Oh damn, I forgot about that AT-ST! Thanks for correcting me. As much as Lego Star Wars pushes the bounds of reason every year, 11 droids and 2 minifigures for the MTT still sounds absurd - even more more so when considering this is the playscale summer flagship set. I don’t see any reputable leakers corroborating this just yet thankfully.

Isn’t Lilo and Stitch’s Beach House priced at $89.99 with a piece count of 834 pieces? That sounds like a reasonably priced set all things considered. We can expect Lilo and Stitch to be reuses (would be nice to get four armed Stitch though). With that in mind, I’m sure a $90 price point allows for sufficient budget to include Nani, Jumba, and Pleakley as well surely? 5 minifigures at that price sounds about right. I doubt David or Mr. Bubbles would be included though it would be great if they were. It’s one of my most anticipated sets of 2025, rewatched the film last night and love it just as much as I did as a kid when it first released. Also hope that Pixar 18+ set is a minifigure one.

I do hope that the increasing emphasis on 18+ gimmick sets year after year is something that LAN will enquire about during Lego’s Fan Media Day event next year, whenever that’s due to be held. It’s one thing to diversify your product portfolio but this is beyond excessive. On a personal level, I’m pretty checked out with Clone Wars stuff unless Lego ever deign to make Season 1 Anakin / Obi-Wan and P1 Rex and Cody, which seems extremely unlikely. I’m happy for those who’ve been wanting Galactic Marines and the 327th for what seems like forever though. We still have 3 sets (75428, 75432, and 75433) unaccounted for so fingers crossed for some heavy hitters. As a rule of thumb, it’d be nice if any characters covered by 18+ sets are also represented in normal sets too. It seems like an enormous tease to get both Kylo’s helmet AND midi-scale Command Shuttle but not a peep of an actual minifigure. Also, I’m sure a minifigure Wicket will be included in his buildable character set - the first time the mould will be used since 2019! Ironic and extremely on-brand for the state of this theme in 2025 that Lego would deign to bring back a character mould for a buildable figure.

The UT-AT looks a bit too similar to an AT-TE without legs for me, it’s quite an obscure vehicle to pick for what I’m sure will be a £100+ set, but let’s see what the end result is like. @QuiggoldsPegLeg I agree about new moulds being introduced for Microfighters only seeming unlikely, but the 2017 U-Wing Microfighter introduced that awesome dual moulded U-Wing Pilot helmet piece which was never seen again. Hopefully if 2023/4 are any indication, there’s still another 5 or so system sets we can expect?

I agree it’s not exactly my top choice for a big summer set either (seriously, is a Stinger Mantis that obscenely risky? I will never stop lamenting this), but I’m hoping between this and whatever set has a P1 clone pilot that we get Obi-Wan in his Clone Wars armour. It’s such an iconic look. I’m sure there’s at least 3-4 other system builds this summer although it’s wild saying that as if it’s a big deal. I’ll cling onto Max’s words that we’re in for some good stuff even if they may be few and far between. @icm I agree 2018 has been one of the best years for Lego Star Wars on record. Crazy number of new minifigure moulds, strong builds and coverage of content, plus the Solo sets were incredibly well made despite the relatively low anticipation for the film’s release.

Hey hey, that’d use up the entire 2026 Lego Superheroes budget. I definitely think there’s merit to a CA: TWS set coming out later given Bucky’s Winter Soldier Outfit and Cap’s TFA outfit and how much figure reuses are common with this theme nowadays.

This August we got 9 sets all in all - 2 of which were Threepio and the Droid Builder. It does leave quite a bit of room for traditional sets next August too, discounting K2 and Wicket.

Okay, so discounting polybags and UCS sets: - There are currently 11 Midi-Scale Ships, Helmets, Buildable Characters, and the Logo. - We know of 8 minifigure scaled sets (so far) this year. Including 4+, a mech, and a microfighter. That’s…nuts. I know Lego are trying to entice more adult collectors into the line but minifigure scaled ships and locations are the heart and soul of Lego Star Wars. This is so disappointing.

Yeah I’m willing to bet it’s a buildable character. Can’t get enough of those after all!
