lol that’s embarrassing. This year’s GWP carrier came with eight droids. LSW needs new playset designers. The upcoming “adult” Blacktron Renegade is an all around better TOY than anything currently in the Star Wars portfolio.

I’d be all for that, but the answer is because kids want clones. The adult market, meanwhile, is getting a diverse assortment of sets, from Jango’s Slave I to Kylo’s Shuttle

No one would functionally put it in that category

I think it’s worth noting that the adult market and the kid market are two separate entities with different marketing priorities. Of all the 18+ sets we know of in 2025, only the midi-scale acclimator can be called a “clone” set. In fact, in the adult market there’s a very nice distribution of PT and OT sets, with a sequel helmet sprinkled in. Kids are getting a deluge of clone sets because collecting armies and army vehicles is the current fad.

I’m over the moon with the AT-ST, finally! Three UCS sets in one year, is that a record? As for the rest of the leaks, a $50 Turbo Tank? Lmao…I’m glad I’m not growing up during this era of Lego Star Wars. The adults sets are often phenomenal, but the kids are left to rot.

Now that I think about it…couldn’t they do this with the DSII? We really only see half the sphere in ROTJ, I believe the iconic view of the side with the laser and the half-constructed sphere is just a nice matte painting. The other side of the DSII, as shown in the 2005 model, is just an under-construction mess that isn’t appealing to the eye imo. They could just do a half-sphere with nice plated details on the exterior, and then a full interior on the other half of the model, which is open. This saves display space along the horizontal plane of the model while allowing the designer to blow up the size vertically. Just a thought.

Feels like this Death Star is either going to have 35 figures with a full interior, or four to sit on a display stand. No in-between. Hope it’s the former. I can’t imagine a $1000 dust collector without a “gimmick”.

RIP MBS I suppose. It lasted two sets.

I don’t see how a $1000 DSII would be more desirable than a $500 DSII if the only thing offered is the structure, no interior. LSW is more than capable in 2025 to take the 2005 version’s scale and make it beautiful. There must be more to this than just a giant, incomplete grey sphere.

It’ll be the 2014 model, but blue. Yay.

TandN confirmed his “redwood” leak was referring to the Death Star II, not Endor. That’s…a bit of a stretch, as far as hints go. So no MBS next year.

Four buildable figures. A thousand dollar Death Star. A Star Wars logo. Wow. Lego really said F them kids.

Because it was a “multi troop transport” that carried the same number of droids as last year’s May GWP.

Now that I think about it, with the May UCS being Jango’s Slave I, and the big fall set being a Death Star, the $200 18+ set HAS to be Endor, right? Unless the Endor leaks really were pointing to the Ewok. Or unless the Death Star is considered an MBS set. Where’s the Cantina replacement!

Many called it correctly, the first $1000 LSW set would be a Death Star. I wonder if it’ll just be the outer shell or if it’ll have any interior. If it’s the former, it must be absolutely massive to warrant that kind of price. If it’s the latter, I hope it’s the perfect blend between the playset and UCS death stars of the past. As for the MTT, $150 is simply not enough to do it justice. Recent sets and prices for those sets have made that abundantly clear.
