That would be amazing!

Going off your AAT idea, I'd like to see one at $25(same price as the republic tank) and have a similar selection of figures like 1 pilot, 1 regular droid, 1 clone, and either a special Jedi or even a separatist commander(Wat Tambor or someone similar). That would be cool.

 

While I see where your going with the $25 price point, as it would be cheaper, that would be the same price as the 2015 one, while many people, including myself, thought that that model was way too small. I was thinking that it could be more along the lines of the 2009 Clone Wars model, which I believe retailed for $50, much like my suggestion would probably cost. But hey I do have the recent Republic Fighter Tank and I do like that set, so maybe Lego could make something work at $25

I Would love to have Cloud City, we haven't hand one in awhile and it be a nice set.

Cloud City is an absolute must.  I do not understand  why Lego is avoiding making this into a set.  It must be on top of everybody's most wanted list.  

Personally I would love to see the Jedi Temple, we have a huge villain base (Death Star) so why not a hero base?

I'd also very much like to get an updated Jango's Slave 1.  We have seen multiple versions of Boba's now and only one version of Jango's.

I want a set based off starkiller base, with Finn, Chewie, Rey, Old Han, Unmasked Kylo, random FO stormtrooper, Phasma and Hux.

The exterior would be a snowy mountain type "shell" for the rest of the base. Outside there would be a control panel and a sliding door similar to the one in Echo Base. There are two halves of the model that you split open to access the interior. Once open, the two halves would be separated by the bridge where Han dies.  On the inside, there will be a shield generator room and  a balcony with exploding feature. On the other side, you have the torture room and Kylos room with Vader's helmet. 

It would price roughly $150 USD 

I know I put WAY too much thought into this, but this is a set I am desperately hoping for.

That would be a cool set to get. Also, it would be cool to get a similar set to that with the Death Star, and have Leia's interrogation cell, the Death Star Control room, etc.

I think I understand why Lego have avoided a Cloud City playset for years... It's because of the most famous scene in Empire Strikes Back, where Vader slices off Luke's hand and tells him "I am your father".  The problem is that kids would want to recreate that scene, and minifigure hands are not really designed to come off (if they were, then minifigure torsos would ship unassembled).  Repeat play would almost certainly result in a broken Luke figure, an upset child, and loads of replacement figures being issued by customer service.  I think this is also the reason why Ponda Baba and Dr. Evazan have never been made for the Mos Eisley cantina.

There is some evidence to back this idea up: The Lego Star Wars computer game (classic trilogy) allows characters to put on stormtrooper helmets to access some areas of different levels. In the game, Chewbacca can also wear a helmet but it simply sits on his head at a jaunty angle since there isn't a stud for a proper connection.  Unfortunately, kids tried to repeat this with their real Lego figures, resulting in scores of cracked stormtrooper helmets.

I'd be up for another AAT. Ideally something bigger than the last release, but not quite as large as the Clone Wars version. I'd rather it didn't come with any clones though. For me the Naboo themed Episode I characters that haven't been made yet are the priority - namely Battle Padme, Boss Nass and Rune Haako, although a TPM Nute Gunray and a Naboo Palace Guard (red uniformed guard with the silver helmet) would be highly desirable too.

Honestly, I think it has to do more with size/cost. In order to do it right (and bigger/better than the older set) you would have to build a huge set. Not $150 or $250, but $300+...  There are 4-5 scenes that would all need to be rendered at the same level as a $80 play set. With so many other "big sets", I'm sure lego has to be careful to not put too many of them out there at once. I think we will get it eventually, and I wouldn't be surprised if it was for the 40th anniversary of ESB. Just don't be surprised if it's another bank breaker...

My hope has always been that they would release it in a similar fashion to the old one, and sell one scene every 6-12 months... with pegs to connect them. I don't know why lego doesn't do this with more sets...

Then why not do a collectors model: every year you release a room, after 5 years cloud city is complete.

We have to be honest, models from the OT are targeted at ALOFs.

Can you elaborate a little more? Please tell me Yoda's hut set.

While I would love a Yoda's hut set, I thought it would be cool if it was a buildable figure.

It is Yodas hut 

Yes. Yes. Yes! I've always wished they would re-release this set. It was due for a new hut, and I was disappointed when the 2017 rumor didn't pan out. I can already imagine something similar to the cantina set from a couple years back...

Is it just the hut, or does it have an Xwing with "algae" and "pond scum" like the older set?

I would like to see another UCS Imperial Shuttle, but one with a detailed interior. In the last one they made in either 2010 or 2011 (I don't know when exactly it was released) it only had a cockpit and the inside was used to accommodate the gearing for the wings and he boarding ramp was also missed out. They could use various mini figures to go with the set. It could be the scene from when he Emperor visits the Death Star II or a UCS version of the Tydirium.

I just want an accurate republic gunship and a dropship w/ATOT. I'd be ok if they're all released separately as long as they're done right.

Beyond that, I'd like some more scene related sets that are affordable.

Very surprised they still haven't done a C3P0 buildable figure (there were rumors it would show up in the Last Jedi wave but unless there is a set we dont know about yet, the reports I have seen dont show one)

Of all the characters in the SW universe, droids would seem to be the best candidates for buildable figures yet we have just the 1 (unless Grevious counts in which case we have 2)

Maybe there is a license issue preventing TLG from doing a buildable C3P0 or maybe they are holding it for some specific special date.

TLJ wishlist/prediction

Based on pinball machine concept art the Elite Praetorian Guards are/will be heavily promoted.

Canto Bight Escape- similar to Jakku Encounter or Mos Eisley Cantina

    Features Faltier space horse new molded animal and/or small speeder. Comes with DJ, Finn, Casino security (or FO Executioner)

Resistance Crait Skimmer- airspeeder based on TLJ teaser, similar to Bwing but less pieces and bulk. Comes with Skimmer Pilot/Miner, General Leia, Phasma/Executioner

*Note* could include red/white trench like Hoth

Ambush on Ach-to- based on the location of the first Jedi temple. Similar to Battle on Takodana, maybe larger. Main focus is the Force Tree  with small interior sanctum (has small bookcase) Comes with Luke, Resistance Rey, 2-3 molded porgs, R2?, 2 Knights of Ren (or Elite Praetorian Guards)

4th set could be a Crait trench, Snoke throne room w/ Praetorian Guards, DJ ship, Canto Bight set or another Ach-to- set.

Contraction Buildable figures sets desire from myself. It would be cool to see them bring out a figure for the resistance/rebel alliance also a geonosis or 501st trooper would be cool to see.

You do have a point, but when the LEGO Movie came out did you hear when kids started cracking open the father's prized blue spaceman helmet to make Benny. Just imagine your kid walking downstairs with your classic blue spaceman that you loved as a child. Its helmet mangled. "Daddy, I made Benny!" A Cloud City set would be awesome but LEGO just has to be careful about that. Same thing happened to my uncle's original Transformers figures when my cousin saw the movies... RIP Jazz.
