Future Star Wars Sets

[Ritz Brick]

Um, that exact thing came at that price with those minifigs in 2005, only with an NR-N99 and a Dwarf Spider Droid. Personally, I'd love to see it rereleased, but it doesn't play major roles or is set to play one soon, and it isn't iconic enough to warrant a remake without a simultaneous appearance in a current Star Wars film or show.

I know, but just the flyer on it's own. Good chance to re-design a wookie and could be the start of a Battle of Kashyyyk line of sets.

(It has more screentime than the Slave 1. So IMO it's more iconic)

I like fallenangel327's brash opinions, I think we need more people like that so we can get some heated discussions on here! Currently this forum is filled with wish lists, which are fine I guess, but it's more fun to put some odds behind the wishes coming true.

I'd say we will get a UCS Slave I at some point in the future for sure, but currently the market is oversaturated with Slave I's. I have no idea why we got a new one so soon after the previous model (unless we're getting a new Cloud City, please please). I think it would be highly unlikely on TLG's part to release a UCS model that would have to compete with the regular model on the shelves.

So yes, both the Slave I and AT-AT will probably need to wait until the regular models aren't on shelves anymore.

There's nothing wrong with 'brash' opinions. And I certainly agree that some people are throwing a bunch of ideas together under an impossibly low RRP and just hoping that it comes out. There's room for plausibility in certain cases and with Slave One UCS, I think it's very possible. I'm surprised they haven't even released one yet.

I'm also hoping for the more realistic UT-AT set (with 2 Galactic Marines, Ki-Adi Mundi + token Battle droids) and Outrider set

I'd consider the Lambda ore iconic that Slave 1, but after this year's Aethersprite, I suppose anything could happen...

The N-1 I sort of understand- it was released in 2002, and if you look closely notice the box art depicts the fighter over Coruscant, not Naboo, so it is, in fact, an Ep. 2 set that was released at an appropriate time. When it was designed it was appearing in both PT films of the time and TLG could've been viewing it as the up in coming X-wing of the PT.

I get why they made a N1 UCS set, but it's by no means a beloved ship. I think their big mistake was attempting to make the N1 the X-Wing of the PT and failed hard. It's a nice looking ship, but no-one will look past it being used as a child's plaything in Episode I. In Episode II it had a couple seconds of screen time, then in Episode III they introduced a whole new bunch of fighters that replaced it entirely. The reason why the X-wing is so popular is because it's a recurring motif for the rebellion and features prominently in all 3 OT films and is as much the faithful steed to the hero.

My guess is 2015, 10th anniversary of ROTS. WE will get an episode 3 wave then .

It is a possibility, given that we got three RotS sets for the fifth anniversary, and since 3/6=5/10, and six sets is nearly a whole wave, then it sounds plausible. Then again, when was TLG easily predicted by simple math?

They've commemorated all other episodes with sets on their respectable anniversaries, maybe then we'll get the palpie's arrest set.

Those were 30th anniversary sets. Ten and thirty is a big difference.

Sorry to be 'obnoxious' again, but I simply wanted to comment on what other members have said:

Although a point can be made that if we don't discuss the wants, which includes the probablity of release factor, then this is just one huge boring list.

Anyways, on-topic, with TLG's excelent midi SD frame design, they should seriously use it to do the Executor, that could be good as a midi as well as a UCS. Tantive IV doesn't sound bad; I'd certainly be willing to give it a chance, and it could be a good white parts pack. Midi X-wing or Y-wing would be nice too, but they wouldn't be worth $40 by a long shot. Maybe if they were packaged witha TIE/ln and a TIE x1, like the original System Y-wing set was.

Of course, with the 8099 midi-scale star destroyer's frame, you would have to take into the account the fact that an Executor using the same basic desgin would look quite fat unless it were a minimum size (something I mentioned in my review of the set, I might add).

The issue is not actually not what the person's opinion is, but how the person states it. I have deep respect for fallenangel's (and other expert's) intellect and knowledge in the SW universe. It's just sometimes, some members might read one's comments in a negative way if not stated with a less harsh tone. I used to have spats with him before, but as time went by I understood his way of saying things and he in turn toned down a bit on his sarcasm. Though I'd agree there have been some very ridiculous wishes here, but no matter how unrealistic they are, this is the proper place for it. No one is really obliged to comment on every unrealistic wish that is posted here.

Back on topic, you mean the Raddaugh Gnasp fluttercraft, a.k.a. Wookiee ornithopter? That would be a good way for TLG to provide us with updated Wookiees (like they way they updated the generic Gungan soldier).

:blush:

This probably has something to do with the fact that I often end up putting a negative tone into my posts to avoid awkward grammar (much like now). And when I'm trying to prove a point I guess it's a bit difficult for me not to sound as if my opinion is the only 'correct' one. I apologize, please remember that I'm not a native English speaker but thank you KielDaMan StoutFiles and Ritz Brick for your support. It's not every day that people you barely know would defend your behavior on an Internet forum.

I seem to recall that when I suggested a midi-scale Slave I during my first month on this forum it was shot down with the argument that no one would recognize the ship. Might I inquire into the reason for this change in consensus?

Brickdoctor does have a point with the 30th anniversary sets. Also remember that going by that rule the only two films they've really commemorated in this way are Star Wars and Empire.

Still, personally I would like a Wookiee ornithopter set simply because it could signify the return of $10-$15 sets which are not battlepacks into the Star Wars line. To paraphrase what another LEGO enthusiast said, it is true that those small sets did fill a significant niche in the Star Wars canon with such small vehicles as the 74-Z or the escape pod launched from the Tantive IV. (They were also cheap ways to get nice minifigures.)

There's been a lot of bashing of the N-1 in the past, but I don't believe I've ever heard of it referred to as a 'child's plaything'.

My apologies, FallenAngel, if I was a little direct with my post calling you "Obnoxious" .

That Wookie Attack set was one of my favorites, glad i didn't miss it. I would like to see return, more accurately. The last one was fantastic, and why wouldn't the redesign be? Maybe some kashyyk troopers? ( OK probably not )

[Churchill]

Fallenangel327, I'd have sworn English was your first language. You speak it very well.

I think part of the reason that some people misinterpret your posts is because you're on one end of a wide spectrum in terms of accuracy, and you're passionate about it. It sometimes comes across as "obnoxious."

Good point. A quick redesign of the frame should do the trick, though; and since the frame would have to be made longer, then it would also get skinnier. Mostly I was just pointing out that it's a good, strong technique that makes sense and that its principles could be applied to another set.

I missed it, unfortunately, so that puts me in the list of people that want it. A Kashyyyk trooper would be really nice, as long as they don't CW-ify it.

I like it. Then again I'm kinda the same way, just a little more lenient when it comes to SNOT and aesthetics.

[Darth Smithius]

Here are some of my ideas. I have my doubts any will ever come to pass and I'm probably estimating low on the prices, but it's nice to dream.

From the EU:

Overthrow of the Emperor: Darth Krayt, Roan Fel, Imperial Knights (2), Other Sith Lords (not sure who all was there). Throne Room set up with columns, throne, and large window. Can't think of any vehicles to throw in. Probably $30-40 with that many figures.

Korriban: Marka Ragnos, Naga Sadow, Ludo Kressh, Darth Revan, Sith Troopers. The set would be the valley with the burial tombs. 2 or 4 large statues over the entrances to the tombs. Possibly modular to connect with either the tombs themselves or the Sith academy.

The Star Forge: Darth Malak, Revan, Dark Side Bastilla, Random Sith Lords, Sith Troopers, Sith War Droids. This would be the chamber where Revan and Malk face off for the finale of KotoR and a connecting hallway. The room would fature some columns that represent the Jedi being drained by Malak (without figures to cut down cost, maybe skeletons instead). No vehicles really work here. Probably $70+ due to size and number of figures.

Sith Trooper battle pack: 3 Sith Troopers in silvery armor, 1 commander (or random Sith Lord). A speeder I guess.

Sith battle pack: 3 Dark Side Adepts and 1 random Sith Lord. Sith Speeder?

Capture Revan: Revan, Darth Bandon, Jolee Bindo, HK-47, Sith Troopers (2). Going with the version where they ambush you on Tatooine, This would feature a few speeders (they should actually be here this time) and a Krayt Dragon. $40 could make it happen, though probably closer to $50 with the dragon.

The Ravager Bridge: Darth Nihilus, Visas, slave technicians (2), Canderous (Mandalore), The Exile. Bridge area, fairly open. Monitors in a lower section with a raised bridge. I am sure some kind of action feature could incorporated. Probably $50-70.

Tie Defender/Tie Phantom: Tie Pilot. $20-25

Thank you for posting this, seriously.

I'm glad to see someone else keeping the EU dream alive, especially in the KotOR Department

EU sets

AT BRICKDOCTOR: Kashyyk sets returning are a bittersweet to me, I got A Kashttk trooper, so its value would be depleted . I have to say the orange snail droid was a failure though! . I like what lego's doing with hoth right now, they're really sinking their teeth in which is nice. I think they need to pick their battles(no pun intended ). Make an entire line for a SW event, and then leave it be. Rather than making one set and leaving us hanging. This would make it so 10 years wouldn't cover every SW battle, but we'd have enough sets for the major ones.

I definitely agree. Hopefully, with the new Ewok Attack set, they'll do for Endor what they did for Hoth. I'd also like to see them do sets that aren't battle-centered, either; like Tatooine. We need a tru Cantina, we have no Banthas, Jabba's palace needs a remake, and the Tuskens have only appeared in one set that isn't even OT.

I have a Kashyyyk trooper, too, but personally I wouldn't be too worried. If it gets rereleased, it'd probably get a new helmet or other change in design. Look at the Cloud City Boba Fett- its value hasn't dropped because of the new one.

Yeah, A little off topic, thats probably my favorite fig of all time, hip, and lego print, what a beuty The remake could use back print, that would perfect it, as it was the flaw of the last one.

As for endor, comparing with hoth, we should get 7 sets; 2 bps, one mega-set(AT-AT), 1 smaller set(Echo-base) and 2 medium size sets(Wampa cave, and rebel base). Also a hoth themed x-wing. Maybe they could just swap the figs on the AT-AT, and the X-wing, making them endor?

2 BPs: Scout trooper and Rebel commando. This is pretty much a given

1 mega-set: Imperial Shuttle and/or Endor Bunker

1 smaller set: forthcoming Ewok Attack

2 medium sets: well, TLG can do what they want here. They don't have to match the pattern exactly; I'd like to see another small set of the speeder bike chase.

We need a set devoted to those ewok traps we all love, set with various traps, and an at-st. Ewoks need a new slingshot piece/design. Maybe a small, y shaped brown pole?

No problem brickartist. It is true that I post frequently in this forum, and that some of my comments can be a bit pointed.

No, English is my second language. However, it does help that I live in an English-speaking country. I remember that when I first joined this forum people were going "SW this" and "MF that" and I had no idea what they were talking about.

You're probably right about the latter statement, though I don't see anything wrong with having above-average standards of accuracy. The only thing that determines the standard of accuracy for me is what people are capable of doing with LEGO, and some of the MOCs I've seen on this forum (Walter Kovacs's TIEs, for example) very much conform to what I see as accurate by LEGO standards.

THIS! Of course, the price isn't exactly likely ($100+ for an Expanded Universe set?) but I can definitely see this working as a great set. I've always liked the look of the Ebon Hawk.

I have a Kashyyyk trooper, too, but personally I wouldn't be too worried. If it gets rereleased, it'd probably get a new helmet or other change in design. Look at the Cloud City Boba Fett- its value hasn't dropped because of the new one.

Unless we get a new scout trooper mold with the Ewok Attack set, I don't see that happening. Personally I think the current scout trooper mold is a very good one, so I wouldn't expect a new mold, although some nice new helmet and torso printing for the 41st trooper's camo is a possibility. I'm just hoping that LEGO's new habit of printing the legs on all their minifigures doesn't continue, or else we'll be seeing 200-piece sets for around $50.

AT-ST, complete with rolling logs, Ewok twin battering rams, Ewok hi-jackers on vines, and Ewok hitchhikers with rope.

[BrickArtist]

A very comical set indeed

[Brickdoctor]

A very comical set indeed

But it makes sense. The traps themselves are no good without something to trap, and some people do want an AT-ST that is separate from the bunker, so TLG could kill two birds with one stone.

A pair of small trees, two logs, two or three Ewoks, some vines, and the AT-ST could be an ideal $25-$50 set, depending on how big said trees are.

Yeah, it was a serious idea. The traps could be on 8x8 brown plates. The kids would love it, and so would we!

[Ritz Brick]

TLG could potentially get 3 birds with one stone with this potential set.

From the scene where Chewie and the Ewoks hijack the AT-ST.

Includes Chewie, Black Ewok, another brown one and 2 Pilots.

Redesigned AT-ST to fit 2(3) people and a large tree to swing from.

Yes! The ultimate LEGO Star Wars set that both kids AND AFOLs might like. Of course, there is an issue that people might want to buy more than one AT-ST... but I guess Chewbacca could also work as a generic Wookiee. And if I remember correctly, the life-sized AT-ST prop can only fit one in the cockpit, but again, it's not like you can see the driver from the outside, so I wouldn't mind too much.

I like this idea but I'd hope they would keep the same scale as the Battle Of Endor set. I'd like to be able to add Ewok Attack to the scene, not have a much larger/fatter AT-ST there. It'd also keep the price point down with no redesign needed.

That said, I think we all know deep down it's going to be a remake of the old Ewok Attack...a catapult and some speeders. Ho hum.

Maybe there would be an Ewok Ambush set with like 6 ewoks and 4 stormies and all the Ewoks have ropes with rocks. Some foliage and a few large trees?

[BrickArtist]

I just hope all future endor sets come with patches of forests, I feel that the forest is kind of overlooked by lego.
