  1. Hello, I will play the prediction game, but in a more controlled manner. For the 2025 Lego Star Wars Advent Calendar I predict the following figures: Rebel Fleet Trooper (since we have so many in circulation at the moment) Stormtrooper (Ditto to the above) B-1 Battle Droid (the B-2 is in the 2024 calendar, and there is always at least one Battle Droid) Holiday Han Solo (the only one of the Original Trilogy main cast not yet done in an ugly Christmas sweater) Holiday Chewbacca (there was Snow Chewbacca before, but Han and Chewie go together) One more mini that is in a 2025 set that has a large print run (like Ahsoka for the 2024 calendar) Cheers :)
  2. No inside info here myself, but I think the possibility of a planned set with Jabba that was scrapped is probable. How probable, well, that would only something Lego knows. That said, it is just a guess for all of us. Someone with the pieces can correct me if I am wrong, but was not the Dewback big mini mould changed between appearing in various Cantina sets, even though those were only about 5 year apart? Barring someone from Lego speaking out, we will likely never know. Cheers :)
  3. OK, I throw in a few ideas here as well. A mix of imperial and rebellion so that the imperials have someone to fight. :) Rogue One Eadu Garrison Battle Pack Mini-figs: 2 x Stormtrooper, 1 x Imperial Gunner, 1 x Imperial Scientist. The main build for the set should be part of the weapons turrets seen during the Battle of Eadu. Perhaps a small version of a turbolaser tower with the archway onto the landing platform the Rebels bomb during the encounter. Accessories to include blasters for the Stormtroopers and Gunner. Scarif Garrison Battle Pack Mini-figs: 2 x Stormtrooper, 2 x Shoretrooper. The main build for the set should include two orange cargo containers as in Set #75152 and a master switch computer console with antenna. Accessories to include regular blasters for the Stormtroopers, and double barrel blasters for the Shoretroopers. Rebel Alliance Pathfinders Battle Pack Mini-figs: 3 x Rebel Pathfinders, 1 x Rebel Pathfinder Officer. Main build for the set should be part of the landing area around the shuttle “Rogue One”, perhaps some of the grey computer boxes/cargo containers. Accessories to include blasters for all of the minis, plus a set of macro-binoculars for the officer. Rebel Alliance Scarif Pilot Battle Pack Mini-figs: 2 x Blue Squadron X-Wing Pilot (Blue Flightsuit), 1 x Gold Squadron Y-Wing Pilot (Orange Flightsuit), 1 x Blue Squadron U-Wing Pilot (Blue Flightsuit); use assorted faces and skin tones. Could make these all “name” pilots from the film. The main build for the set should be a maintenance sled with tools as seen in Rogue One hanger scenes. Accessories should include blaster pistols for all pilots. Episode IV: A New Hope Rebel Alliance Fleet Trooper Battle Pack Mini-figs: 3 x Alliance Fleet Troopers, 1 x Alliance Fleet Officer; use assorted faces and skin tones. The main build for the set should be something like the airlock hallway in the Tantive IV from the start of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. Alternatively, perhaps a small combat station with a heavy cannon set up and small radio antenna/communications panel. Accessories to include blasters for all mini-figs. Rebel Alliance Yavin Base Battle Pack Mini-figs: 2x Alliance Fleet Troopers, 1 x Alliance Officer, 1 x Rebel Alliance Technician; use assorted faces and skin tones. The main build for the set should be a maintenance station for the Yavin base hanger. This could include a crane and control panel, or a communications array. Accessories to include blasters, binoculars, and one of the radar guns seen with the guard in the tower in all of the Yavin hanger shots in the films. Rebel Alliance Yavin Pilot Battle Pack Mini-figs: 2 x Red Squadron X-Wing Pilot (Orange Flightsuit), 1 x Gold Squadron Y-Wing Pilot (Orange Flightsuit), 1 x Rebel Astromech Droid; use assorted faces and skin tones. Could make these all “name” pilots from Episode IV. The main build for the set should be a troop transport sled as seen in both Rogue One & A New Hope. Accessories should include blaster pistols for all pilots. Imperial Stormtrooper Battle Pack Mini-figs: 3 x Stormtrooper, 1 x Stormtrooper Officer. The main build for the set should be one storage crate that can be opened up (storage space inside) and a bunker or weapon emplacement. Storage crate should be similar to the ones in Set #75141. Accessories should include a pauldron for the officer, binoculars, thermal detonators, blasters for the Stormtroopers and additional blasters in the crate. Imperial Sandtrooper Battle Pack Mini-figs: 2 x Sandtrooper, 1 x Sandtrooper Officer, 1 x Dewback Big Figure. The main build for the set should be a moisture vaporator and sand dune setting, along with a womp rat. Accessories should include a pauldron for the officer, binoculars, backpacks for all of the troopers, a long riding staff (for the dewback rider as seen in A New Hope), and blasters for the Sandtroopers. Imperial Inspection Team Battle Pack Mini-figs: 1 x Death Star Officer (Captain), 2 x Imperial Technician, 1 x Stormtrooper. The main build for the set should include an inspection cart and tools as carried by the sensor technicians when the Millennium Falcon was inspected in ANH, as well as one or two storage containers/crates. Accessories to include blasters for the Stormtrooper and Officer, wrenches and tools for the Technicians. Death Star Crew Battle Pack Mini-figs: 2 x Death Star Trooper, 1 x Imperial Officer (Lieutenant), 1 x Stormtrooper. Main build for the set should be a section of Death Star corridor that links up with various Death Star playsets to expand the play experience. There should be link pieces on both ends to allow connection with other sets. Alternatively, it could be a guard room set up with computer console, table and working door as a play feature. Accessories to include blasters for all of the mini-figs and a mouse droid. I can pull more for later. Cheers :)
  4. Ooops, that is what I get for going off memory rather than looking it up. :)
  5. True, but at the same time that set was in the regular set numbering. This one supposedly is not. So, a bit of a mystery that way. Cheers :)
  6. Interesting choices. I agree that the Empire needs some love for battlepacks & sets. These would be some good ideas going forward. I really like your modular ideas. I had some a few years back (posted in this thread I believe) where I created ideas for modular Death Star builds and modular Echo Base builds for Empire vs Rebels. Something that would allow Lego to sell supporting sets that build on sales. But, I am not a marketing expert, so maybe the idea would not sell enough. Cheers :)
  7. I have enjoyed all of your scenes so far. They keep getting better and better. Thank you for sharing!
  8. Thank you. Once upon a time I don't think Lego would have done some of these (especially my big fig ideas), but, with super battle packs now showing up, I think some of them are possible. Cheers :) A few more battle pack ideas for us to mull over: Solo: A Star Wars Story Mimban Troopers Battle Pack Mini-figs: 2 x Mudtrooper, 2 x Mimban Stormtrooper. Main build for the set to be part of the imperial assault trenches shown in Solo. Include the entrance to the AT Hauler landing pad at one end of the trench line. Include link pieces so that more than one section of trench can be connected together. Accessories to include blasters for all of the mini-figs, and appropriate cloaks/capes for each type of trooper. Rebels Kashyyyk Wookiee Assault Battle Pack Mini-figs: 3 x Wookiees, 1x Imperial Stormtrooper; the Wookiees should be different in look (or at least one should be different). The main build for the set should be an imperial pillbox structure with heavy weapon/cannon, as well as some rocks or trees for the Wookiees to attack from behind. Accessories to include a blaster for the Stormtrooper and bowcasters for the Wookiees. Episode V – The Empire Strikes Back Rebel Alliance Hoth Trooper Battle Pack Mini-figs: 3 x Alliance Hoth Troopers, 1 x Alliance Hoth Officer; use assorted faces & skin tones. The main build for the set should be an Atgar FD P-Tower cannon and a short section of snow trench; similar to the ones included in previous Hoth sets. The snow trench should have a two or three link pieces so that two or more sets can be connected together for a longer trench set up, or even connected to an opposing battle pack featuring Imperial Snowtroopers. Accessories should include blasters for all of the mini-figs. Imperial Snowtrooper Battle Pack Mini-figs: 3 x Snowtrooper, 1 x Snowtrooper Officer. The main build for the set should be an E-Web blaster cannon, an imperial probe droid, and a section of snow trench for the troops to attack. Accessories should include a pauldron for the officer, and blasters for all of the Snowtroopers. The set should be designed with two or three link pieces so that multiple battle packs can be connected together for a bigger play experience, including linking with an Alliance Hoth Trooper battle pack stretch of trench for head to head battles/play. Imperial Navy Battle Pack Mini-figs: 2 x Imperial Navy Trooper, 1 x Imperial Navy Crew, 1 x Imperial Navy Officer (Commander). The main build for the set should include a turbolaser battery, communications desk, and a mouse droid. Turbolaser battery would have shooter darts and seats for at least one, possibly two operators. Accessories to include blaster rifles for most of the minis, and a blaster pistol for the officer. Bespin Citizens Battle Pack Mini-figs: 2 x Bespin Wing Guard, 1 x Cloud Car Pilot, 1 x Ugnaught. The main build for the set should be an industrial machine from Bespin. Perhaps a drill or large weather vane like atmospheric extractor. Minor build should be a tool stand or cart for the Ugnaught. At least one of the Bespin Guards should be dark skinned like the main Bespin Guard shown in the movie. Accessories to include blaster pistols for most of the minis and a tool (hammer or wrench) for the Ugnaght. Cheers :)
  9. I may have posted these before, but since there has been battle pack discussion, a few ideas: Eadu Garrison Battle Pack Mini-figs: 2 x Stormtrooper, 1 x Imperial Gunner, 1 x Imperial Scientist. The main build for the set should be part of the weapons turrets seen during the Battle of Eadu. Perhaps a small version of a turbolaser tower with the archway onto the landing platform the Rebels bomb during the encounter. Accessories to include blasters for the Stormtroopers and Gunner.

Mos Eisley Scum Battle Pack Mini-figs: 1 x Wolfman Cantina Patron, 1 x Ithorian Cantina Patron, 1 x Doc Evizan, 1 x Ponda Baba. Main build for the set should be a market stall/trader’s location outside of the Mos Eisley Cantina. Perhaps the alley around the corner where R2-D2 and C-3PO hide when stormtroopers come looking for them. Provide an overhang or cart for a trader’s goods. Doors in the alley should open and close as action features. Accessories to include blasters for all of the characters. [Edited for spacing]
  10. Look about 5 posts up to what @Renown said.
  11. Love these ideas. Thanks for using one of my suggestions. Cheers :)
  12. Hello all, It has mostly been skipped over, but the listed $44.99 set 75366 is likely the 2023 Advent Calendar. That is the same price point of the 2022 calendar after the price increase for 2022 (in US dollars at least, more expensive up here in Canada). Cheers :)
  13. Just one observation that people seem to keep leaving out. 75366 is likely the 2023 Advent Calendar. They went up in price for 2022, and the release date makes sense. Cheers :)
  14. So, thinking here, what about the following options: Larger GWP Option 1 - Zeta Class Shuttle, midi-scale Option 2 - Scarif Citadel Tower, midi-scale or microscale Option 3 - Scarif Master Switch Console, mini-fig scale with Chirrut and Deathtrooper Battepacks Agree with all of your options. For the Scarif Rebel pack I would add either some cargo containers or palm trees/bushes as the supplemental build to set the scene. Standard Sets $30 - $35 - Scarif Data Vault - The lobby to the data vault, sealable security door, and search console. Jyn, Cassian, K-2SO, Imperial Officer $40 - $60 - Eadu Imperial Platform - 1 x Galen Erso, 1 x Director Krennic, 1 x Imperial Scientist, 1 x Deathtrooper; scene is the Eadu landing platform when Krennic arrives to "inspect" and interrogate the scientists about the leak. or ... $40 - $60 - Scarif Jungle Battle - 2 x Rebel Pathfinders, 1 x Stormtrooper, 2 x Shoretrooper; scene is part of the jungle area where the rebels attack/knock out a bunch of imperials before the real firefight begins $60 - $160 - Zeta Class Shuttle "Rogue One" - With the main rebel cast Jyn, Cassian, Chirrut, Baze, Bohdi, K-2SO, 1 x Rebel Commando (Melshi?), 1 x Shoretrooper or ... $60 - $160 - Partisan X-Wing - Saw Guerrera, Two-Tubes, 1 x Saw's Partisans Quote Set "I am One with the Force and the The Force is With Me" I can see this one of two ways, either Chirrut before beating up the Stormtroopers on Jedha (Chirrut, Stormtroopers, Ruined Streetscape) or ... The Scarif Master Switch Console during the final battle just before Chirrut begins his walk into the open. (Chirrut, Baze, Stormtrooper, DeathTrooper)
  15. If I could upvote your post I would. Nice list. :)
