Actually, I liked the idea of getting a turbo tank and Commander Wolffe based on the TCW episode "The lost one", as implied by the original rumor.

You're confusing here facts with arbitrary opinion.

Well, Lego 75078 is "only" 9 years old :) I think my point is that in the past, battle pack contained 2 - 4 minifigs of the same kind, and while 3 of the same kind more or less have become the rule, the possibility of not getting 4 in future battle packs cannot be concluded from any fact or theory available for us.

What about Lego 7914?

I would have prefered 501st troopers with combat dents, just like the 212th have. But the set itself looks fine to me.

I think there is still a chance that the pauldron has been attached wrongly willingly so the arm printing becomes visible.

I'm a huge fan of clones in general, and I also think that the p1-clones peaked in 2014. However, I clearly prefer the 2023 p2-clones to those of 2014. I'm still not pleased with the design of the visor and other minor points (printing of the cheeks that is meant to resemble "shadow" etc.) While I prefer printed kamas to clothed kamas (I have not yet seen any clothed kamas I found convincing), I think that the printing should have extended to the sides of the hips and legs as well. I don't like printed arms, though; I can't see that the printing has any function whatsoever in increasing the perceived detail of armor. I'm not really sure what this thing is that Fives has around his neck; to me, he looks a bit like a bat or Dracula. So to me, both Fives as well as the new Captain Rex, are totally expendable.

The title refers to the threat at hands, which is the occupation of Naboo by the trade federation. The trade federation, however, is not a threat, but just a means to remove the current chancelor his office and to put Palpatine in his place. Thus, the whole situation surrounding Naboo is just a hoax. Palpatine is just a cover identity of Darth Sidious, a phantom, yes, but Sidious is the menace ^^

Hi, does anyone know why the inventory of the Mandalorian Fleet Commander from set 75348 doesn't contain the helmet but a hairpiece that is not listed in the set's inventory?

I think it's loosely based on TCW S7, the depicted battle reminds me of Ep 09, while the white clones and the colour of the sky on the back of the box remind me of the base in Ep 01, which is the only scene featuring white clones in S7, if I remember correctly.

I think if the leaked pictures aren't fake, that's wrong, since in this case at least one of them is a pilot, pretty much like the one from 75004, but with a red-white colour-scheme.

As for 74354, does the set contain one pilot and one regular trooper or two pilots? I find it hard to recognize.

Yeah, but that only means that it's the 15th anniversary, and as a matter of fact, Lego celebrates 15th anniversaries as well, as in the case of Modular Buildings ^^

What is "ppp"?

StoneWars is relatively certain that the D2C set is not only real, but will be rather huge and in the +500,00 € price range.
