Future Star Wars Sets

[1980-Something-Space-Guy]

Besides they have just released a Millenium Falcon.

Hence, Special Edition Besides, the MF didn't include figs such as C-3PO and R2, of which they could make special versions for such a set (chrome parts). And that's just one of the possibilities of making a Special Edition of the set.

Anyways, I was just naming one possibility, but still, I believe Lego should release something for this anniversary!

Another alternative to Special Edition sets would be a Ralph McQuarrie concept set. He did so much for the look and feel of Star Wars that I think any company handling the license for any length of time should at least make one item as a dedication or memorial to him. I know there was the bagged white Boba Fett, but I'm thinking Lego should make something bigger like a set of concept figures or design scene.

There is actually a Ralph McQuarrie Concept X-wing on CUUSOO, but it's not very popular.

[Fighter of Frizzies]

I'd love a concept design Lego, McQuarrie or otherwise, even if I don't feel like it is something Lego would find suitable for the main line i.e. would have to be a low-run exclusive to get the hard core fan dollars.

That X-Wing looks good but is probably too similar to the final model to attract much interest.

This is no MOC or a project of it...but I just got an idea of possible very good Star Wars UCS set (and hope some people of TLG see it).

I was thinking of this ship:

In UCS LEGO size. I see this would be possible, the ship wouldnt have more than 3000 bricks and would look very accurate. Also, it was previously released only as CW set, 3 years ago. Lego could include Count Dooku (flesh, non CW looking) minifig, 3 magna guards and his personal droid-pilot.

The design of ship offers very interesting build with lots of curved brown bricks. However, the sail would only be attached to ship (with easy removal) and would not include realistic mechanism to deploy it or hide it. Just connected with few pins that can be removed when in landing mode. Interior would be simple and overall, such ship doesnt need a size of MF, but more of Imperial shuttle.

I must admit, I am a big Dooku fan and would love to see his ship in UCS size.

What do you think?

I'll merge this with Future Star Wars Sets.

...and, done.

In that project's pic, is that in the back a McQuarrie concept art R2? That could work too, I believe. Anyways, I agree that these kind of items (concept art sets) are not as popular, but for an anniversary, they could be perfect for the most die hard fans.

Zillo Beast

It would have to be huge though. Obviously UCS and it would come with mini clone tanks and maybe some mini gunships.

[Faefrost]

As the topic says. What are some of the Star Wars related subjects that Lego has not yet attempted in any form yet? ( and that we of course would like to see)

For example

Episode 1

Naboo Royal Cruiser

Various "other" pod racers, including Anakins unpainted.

Trade Federation capital ship

Episode 2

Republic Acclimator class Assault ship

Corruscant public transport

Low class passenger space liner

Naboo Royal Skiff

Episode 3

Bail Organas speeder

Padme's ship

Invisible Hand

Milenium Falcon in blue and silver markings

Episode 4

Not a lot undone. Mainly SE added stuff like the speeders and freighters on Tatooine. Maybe the Outrider if you push it.

Episode 5

Rebel Transport

Medical Frigate

Episode 6

Mon Calamari cruiser

Ewok Village

Clone Wars

Hounds Tooth

Z-95 headhunter

Jedi Air Speeder

Bubble nosed Jedi shuttle

Zilo Beast

Luxury Yacht 3000 (also known as Lady Luck)

Trandosian hover pods

Trandosian slave ship

Salvage ship

Fan Blade fighter ( Ventriss's fighter)

Escape pod

So what else am I missing?

I'll merge this with the future Star Wars sets thread, as they are basically the same thing.

I wasn't aware that the MF appeared on Episode III, but to tell you the truth, I doubt that it would be a popular set.

On the other hand, there are some duels that haven't been released or need re-releases. In my opinion, we should get Yoda vs. Palpatine, a new Obi-Wan vs. Grievous (NOT CW!), the Episode II Dooku fight, the Bespin duel, and the final Episode VI duel.

[alvinfree2012]

Endor battlepacks, two of them one with two endor rebels and two new colored ewoks with a catapult of an ewok flyer. And the empire one with three scouties and an officer in black suit or maybe other scoutie, this with two speeder bikes.

[DarkFader]

I'd definitely want a trandoshan hoverpod (their designs were pretty cool); it would make a great $19.99 set.

Good idea but probably not for awhile. We waited about 5-6 years for a new X wing and Y wing.

The MF in ep3 is a very small Easter egg. It is seen from a distance landing in the port. It is in a blue and white/ silver paint scheme. Futaba actually made a miniature of it in their F toys line.

As far as duels, did they ever actually make a set of the 3way ep 1 duel between Maul, qui Gon and Obi Wan?

Sadly I don't think the original version of that kit sold all that well. The set is remembered for great minifigs and an annoying ship that was prone to fall apart. The only reason we may see it again is it shows up in CW used by both Dooku and by Ventriss. I actually think we have a better chance of seeing Ventriss's fan blade fighter instead. ( with Ventriss, Dooku's and Obi Wan or Anakin figs)

[Fighter of Frizzies]

Not a bad list Faefrost. I'd like to add the Lars Family Speeder to that. Having that in a set with the entrance dome and an updated Skyhopper would be pretty swell if perhaps a tad dull for most KFOLs.

Speaking of that, some of the bigger OT ships you mentioned could suffer from lack of playability or recognizability which might make it difficult for Lego to justify producing them (given that they would probably be large, pricey sets). i.e. there are tons of people who would pay for an AT-AT or Falcon but a Medical Frigate at the same price may not command as much demand. Though I'd still buy them if they made them. Given your list, I just have a feeling that a lot of future OT sets will be re-dos or playsets.

[TheMaster]

I'd like to see more Expanded Universe sets, like the two current ones from TOR. My suggestion would be the Buick from Rogue Squadron :P

II have to heartily agree. Let's be honest. The OT has been very heavily farmed out for subjects already. Plus, since it was made back in the 70's and 80's the shear number of possible subjects per movie was more limited. Each subsequent movie effectively doubled the ships or effects from the previous, so while the true classic, ep IV does offer a smaller list of ships to work from ( but still the list of the best overall ones, never been equalled).

I've said it before, if we are fans of this hobby and these subjects, we will sort of have to learn to like the Clone Wars stuff, as that is the growth point in subject matter right now. That is where all of the new stuff is entering into the theme.

While I am thankful for TCW keeping the license alive, do not forget a big reason the license still exists is because OT sets sell so well. The Falcon was the highest grossing set last year for instance, and OT sets have vastly outperformed PT sets in the UCS line. Also, note that parents are the ones with the money, and they have an easier time justifying the price of an OT set, something they grew up with and enjoyed, over a PT/CW set that they didn't care for or never saw.

I agree with your observations, but I have two points:

1) Do you have a source for the Falcon being the highest grossing set? I wasn't aware that TLG released specific financial results about sets to the public.

2) Of course OT UCS sets have outperformed PT ones if you compare them on the whole - they outnumber them 16 to 5. I'm sure if we compared each of them 1:1, we'd find that certain PT sets sold better. Personally, I'd be curious to see how well a truly "Ultimate" PT set (like, say, a UCS Jedi Temple playset) would do. My guess would be pretty well.

It's 16 to 5 because of the target age group buying them, mostly adult AFOL's. I know some people here have closed their eyes, covered their ears, and screamed to avoid acknowledging it, but it's generally accepted the OT is favored over the PT for adult fans of SW, so it's business savvy to make sets that are guaranteed to make money.

However, we will see if you are right in due time. They will eventually be forced to address the PT as they are beginning to run out of well known OT ships that are worth attempting, and have a lot of UCS sets to make before the license ends.

Edited June 6, 2012 by StoutFiles

[The_Chosen_1]

Yeah, I agree about OT sets doing better on the whole among AFOLs. There's a lot more to mine from in terms of things that would not only look good, but be profitable in a larger scale. However, I do think there are a select few vehicles/environments from the PT that deserve the same treatment (the Jedi Temple, as I mentioned, being one of them).

Thanks for that first link, by the way!
