Forresto Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 We definitely need a new tie bomber set. The trailer showed the debut of the Tie Interceptor in the Imperial Fleet so there's a chance we may see that in a set. To be honest though I do not like the Rebels Tie proportions translating into Lego, too jarring compared to the other Ties already made. Quote
atlas Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 I'm pretty happy with the last two Y-Wing sets so I'm in no rush for another. Still lots to look forward to in the new season of Rebels. New looks for the main cast. Hopefully next time we see new versions of Ezra and Sabine they'll have more accurate skin tones. Return of Darth Maul, Hondo, Cham Syndulla and Numa as well as the debuts of Grand Admiral Thrawn and Wedge Antilles. Hopefully we see minifigures of all these characters next year. More Mandalorians. Really like how they've "modernized" the helmet and armour so Boba Fett's look can remain unique during the OT era. Nightsister Ghosts. Lego could make good use out of those NinjaGo molds here. Possessed Kanan would be a pretty cool variant too. I still hope we can get a bit more out of Season 2 though. Would love to see Seventh Sister, Eighth Brother, Rebels Leia, updated TIE Bomber and the Shadow Caster with Ketsu Onyo. I agree but honestly there is more chance of an Elan Sleazebaggano minifig than a shadow caster set Quote
benderisgreat Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 For January 2017 I hope we'll get 1-2 more TFA sets( Luke's Island, Starkiller speech), but I wouldn't mind if we won't get anymore ST characters and sets until Ep8. Rogue One - 2 Battlepacks: 1 Imperial Battlepack ( OT Stormtrooper, Tanktrooper, Shoretrooper,Deathtrooper), Rebel Alliance Battlepack ( 4 different rebel soldiers), but please Lego, no more studshooters! 1-2 medium 50-60$)sized sets : 1 with Jyn Erso, other with Saw Gurerra. Yodas hut has already been teased, hope it's 30-40$ set with Luke. And now main topic- more Rebels sets: 50-70$ set with Zeb has already been teased, hope it's season 3 version of him. As for other characters S3 Ezra is a must, as is S3 Kanan and Maul. Also Sabines helmet in right color would be a welcome change, but I'm not counting on Lego to make it. I hope next year Lego won't be so far behind on Rebels sets. Quote
RetroInferno Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 I'd definitly want more than a single stormtrooper in the RO battlepack though, something like 2x stormtrooper ( maybe one with rank with pauldron ), 1 death trooper and a shoretrooper? Would balances things even unlike the FO BP. I have no need to say that both Whitaker and Mikkelsen need to be included too in that winter wave, hopefully in a location based set that are not awefull ( Takodana ). Quote

I'm just thinking about best value for Battlepack is 1 of each troopers. But tbh I would mind Battlepack with 2 Shoretroopers & 2 Deathtroopers. Don't know if another regular Stormtrooper Battlepack released 2 years after last one is possible. Quote
LegoBricksProductions Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) I definitely want some Rebels season 3 sets. A Mandalorian Battlepack would be amazing, and a remodeled Separatist Shuttle that we saw in the trailer would be great. In terms of figures, it would obviously be great to get Thrawn, but other than him, I would like to get -An update for the Ghost crew -Wedge Antilles -Tarkin -New Mandalorians -Governor Price -The Bindu -Maul -New battle droids -Dark Troopers Edited July 17, 2016 by LegoBricksProductions Quote
Agent Kallus Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 I hope they do another bigger phantom as I missed out on the first one and I'd like an interior not just a cockpit and they need to do it soon as they showed seson 3 episode one at celebration and the phantom explodes ,I mean they might get another but its quite a unique ship so it would be hard to come by.

benderisgreat Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 After watching Rebels season 3 trailer I noticed a lot of Scouttroopers . Maybe a Scouttroopers Battlepack in 2017? Seems reasonable enough. Quote
Calanon Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 After watching Rebels season 3 trailer I noticed a lot of Scouttroopers . Maybe a Scouttroopers Battlepack in 2017? Seems reasonable enough. They're going to have Rebels-style designs though. Sigh. Quote
strider117 Posted July 18, 2016 Posted July 18, 2016 I agree but honestly there is more chance of an Elan Sleazebaggano minifig than a shadow caster set :laugh: true, true. Got a good laugh out of that They're going to have Rebels-style designs though. Sigh. *sheds a single tear* Yeah I really wish TLC would offer just a few more cheap opportunities for normal biker scouts. Same deal for normal stormtroopers, although they are considerably more accessible. The rebels designs though Quote
Venkefedo Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 Good news! Grand Admiral Thrawn! Bad news! His uniform will be tan instead of white, because Rebels. (But seriously, based on the trailer, if they do a minifig of Governor Pryce--whose uniform is clearly gray in the trailer--in dark tan, I'ma have to write a letter to TLG... in the meantime, KOTCS's Irina Spalko head & hair plus existing Tarkin torso will do nicely; it doesn't show off any feminine features, but it's the right color with the right rank badge! Kinda odd that a planetary or sector governor would have the same badge as the governor of the entire Outer Rim, but whatever). As much as I hope TLG doesn't offer up any more dark-tan Imp uniforms, I really hope they don't just use Yularen's torso print for Thrawn and call it "good enough". New Zeb, new Sabine, new Kanan (make the mask a separate element? Or have masked/unmasked expressions?), new Ezra... Mandos, Biker Scouts, TIE Interceptors (with red markings!), a YT-2400 (with mystery pilot with black hair, yellow shirt, and blue vest!), Hondo, Azmorigan, Maul, Nightsister-y magic stuff, Wedge, Y-wings, maybe a buildable Bendu? Season 3 looks to have a lot to offer already... I hope TLG doesn't take a full year or more to get around to covering much of it! They had the Freemaker sets available before the show even aired, so it'd be nice to see some S3 trickle into the Winter wave. Quote

Same deal for normal stormtroopers, although they are considerably more accessible. The rebels designs though I don't entirely see why they needed to have a different design for them in the first place. Is it to make the design used for stormies in OT sets rarer? Sigh. On the bright side, at least no Rebels minifigs have CW-style eyes. Ugh. Good news! Grand Admiral Thrawn! Bad news! His uniform will be tan instead of white, because Rebels.

As much as I hope TLG doesn't offer up any more dark-tan Imp uniforms, I really hope they don't just use Yularen's torso print for Thrawn and call it "good enough". I'm pretty sure if they used Col. Yularen's torso people would murder them. It's not even a close representation. They will definitely have a unique print. And it will be white. It has to be. I'm presuming the gold epaulettes are just going to be little gold bits at the top though, no way to show them actually going over without some super unique part. Governor Pryce may have the same rank plaque but she only has 2 code cylinders. In the past, less code cylinders meant a higher rank within the same badge. Guess that's being reversed now, which kinda screws up how ranks are done. Sigh. Interestingly, whilst she is a planetary governor, her rank indicates she is above a moff (5 blue over 3 red and 2 gold). Quote
Venkefedo Posted July 19, 2016 Posted July 19, 2016 Yeah, the code cylinders make it kinda complicated. Still, I'll overlook 'em if the only decent way to depict her is using the old Tarkin torso. I hope you're right about Thrawn! I agree that the gold bits would only be possible as little details near the top of the torso... which is fine! I wouldn't even object to them skipping them in the print; I can just throw a gold epaulette piece on him like I was planning on doing to the custom I'd prepped a couple years ago (and never finished...and misplaced! He's in some Lego bin of mine, awaiting a printed decal for his face & torso, decals I've drawn up or adjusted but have yet to print) Hopefully we'll see a YT-2400... and maybe an Imperial Mando BP at some point! They could use the same Mando helmet with the 'skull' print (a popular Arealight custom design!) and include the old helmet accessories...I think the little "headlamp" bits from Mando/Clone helmets could be turned upright to mimic the 'spikes' on the Imp Mando helms. Haven't tried it myself, but it seems plausible... Quote
Sneakguest Posted July 20, 2016 Posted July 20, 2016 For January 2017 I hope we'll get 1-2 more TFA sets( Luke's Island, Starkiller speech), but I wouldn't mind if we won't get anymore ST characters and sets until Ep8.

I hope next year Lego won't be so far behind on Rebels sets. I think they should release at least one TFA set in the winter and one in the summer, seems like a minimum, although really doubt it will be the ones you prefer, none of them have any action, the speech won't introduce any new figures what so ever (which at least minimum one lego would) and I highly doubt they release Luke with the short appearance he had in a small set with only two figures (can't be any other then him and rey since nobody else was present) I bet is instead on an Gavin Death Gang fight with ratters and maybe a battle inside the Star killer (having Snoke appearing maybe) What I would prefer though, but less likely is a set from inside the Takodana cantina, with some interesting aliens, but I don't think lego would offers us 3 new molded heads, which that one should require. Concerning the rebels, I think you are right, but it would also be logical with a mold of Hondo (as much as he has been appearing) as well as a Thrawn figure. Personally what I hope for more than anything else is a set with tusken raiders and a bantha, a set with any of the monsters from Geonsian Arena and a USC Cloud City... Quote
RetroInferno Posted July 20, 2016 Posted July 20, 2016 2 waves of TFA minimum? No way, they barely have enough new material to make 3 new sets and some of the original sets tanked ( Kylo's shuttle and snow speeder ). All hail RO, new and awesome designs coming! Quote
PicnicBasketSam Posted July 20, 2016 Posted July 20, 2016 More of a specific part... but since the X-Wing now has a proper canopy piece, perhaps the Y-Wing and Snowspeeder could as well? They've been using the EXACT SAME inaccurate piece for those ships for 17 years now. It's not like they would do a brick-built canopy like many AFOLs have in a set for 7-year-olds... This is why I've never bought a Snowspeeder. The 2004 design wasn't very good to begin with, but it's barely been modified since. Quote
benderisgreat Posted July 20, 2016 Posted July 20, 2016 (edited) Regarding Zeb season 3 minifigure, I hope they will reuse Faun legs from Minifigure Series 15, since they are similar to Lassats legs. Sure it won't be 100% fit, but in purple they would look good on Zeb. Edited July 20, 2016 by benderisgreat Quote
Joemmo Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 I can't see much more coming from TFA unless they want to do a proper Kylo Shuttle maybe? From a marketing perspective if they'd just stuck in another couple of ships and shown the snowspeeder and the ATAT style things we see in the distance then they could have sustained another wave.

Deathstroke77 Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 Anyone else hoping for a new Cloud City set? And a new Lando? I can't remember the last time we saw a Cloud City Lando. Quote
Moshaka Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 Hopefully the guy that designed the Ewok Village will work on a Bespin set if it comes out. Quote
benderisgreat Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 Anyone else hoping for a new Cloud City set? And a new Lando? I can't remember the last time we saw a Cloud City Lando. Only once in 2003 or was it 2004? No matter , it's been too long anyway. Hope that this years Carbon Freezing Chamber was just a start of Bespin sets. Quote
ArrowBricks Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) All I want for 2017 is sets that people actual want. I miss the days of reading this topic and sets that people wished for actually became a reality. I would personally like to see a few Rogue one sets along with some strong rebels sets in winter. Add a few prequel sets like a Bounty Hunter Pursuit or an SPHAAT and I will be more than happy. Also an episode 3 Separatist Shuttle would be welcomed. Lets not have sets like the Hoth one we already have seen a million times. Bounty Hunter Pursuit: Obi-wan kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Zam Wesell. The two airspeeders and printed slug type creature bricks. 250-300 pieces. Separatist Shuttle: Wat Tambor, San Hill, Magnaguard, battle droid. 350-400 pieces. SPHAAT: Yoda, Clone commander, Pablo-Jill, 2x Clone trooper, Droideka. 900-1100 pieces. Edited July 22, 2016 by ArrowBricks Quote
Deathstroke77 Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 Only once in 2003 or was it 2004? No matter , it's been too long anyway. Hope that this years Carbon Freezing Chamber was just a start of Bespin sets. Same, I liked the Carbon Chamber set, mainly for the figs, but I loved the orange pieces, made it look like the Chamber just that little bit more. Quote
nymmerod Posted July 22, 2016 Posted July 22, 2016 I can't see much more coming from TFA unless they want to do a proper Kylo Shuttle maybe? From a marketing perspective if they'd just stuck in another couple of ships and shown the snowspeeder and the ATAT style things we see in the distance then they could have sustained another wave. I Agree. There's not much left for ships/sets from TFA that would be realistically marketable. I doubt they redo the shuttle at this point. Maybe for Ep. VIII if it shows up in that film. I would only suggest maybe a regular FO TIE fighter with white solar panels and (ironically) a special ops pilot with the red-striped helmet. But maybe not until the current TIE retires. But probably not going to happen. Aside from that what is there? The Finalizer? doubt it. The Meson Martinet? In my dreams, with Finn, Sidon Ithano & Quiggold, Bazine, etc. The Quad Jumper? yawn. The Eravana? way too big, more of a playset than a ship if they do it. The blink-and-you-miss-it Guavian starfighter? again doubt it. Quote
