LEGO Star Wars 2016 Pictures and Rumors

[bootz]

Assuming Vader's TIE uses similar construction as the prototype, don't think for a second it would be a cheaper set. The wings would use far more pieces, as would the rear of the ship. And surely a Vader fig is worth more than an Inquisitor.

[MrHerofan]

The last version was $30 and if this set comes with an A-Wing as well. Yeah, don't be fooled to think that this is $30. Unless the model is really small, in which case that would be a waste.

[Cyberfounder]

The AT-TE will most likely come with Rex, Wolffe, crazy clone whose name I have forgotten, Ezra, Zeb, Sabine and Kanan.

Is it just the AT-TE or does it come with the beast they were fishing for?

Crazy clone = Gregor. :)

[Hulk_Smash]

Crazy clone = Gregor. :)

That's the nutter!

If we are getting him I'd love to see the face print on him (assuming it's not just the generic clone head)

[just2good]

They don't usually show UCS sets at Toy Fairs, right?

Well, last year they revealed the TIE Fighter at NYTF!

[fighterpilot105]

When can we expect to get some pictures of the summer waves sets? I'm so hyped for the Jakku set!! Hopefully the luggabeast will look good next to my MOC version!

[Legoman123]

Well, last year they revealed the TIE Fighter at NYTF!

just2good do you have any idea when the Hoth UCS set will be revealed?

[just2good]

Nope nope, it's supposedly releasing for May 4th, however.

[Legoman123]

Nope nope, it's supposedly releasing for May 4th, however.

Alright, well here's hoping we here something about it soon.

[ResIpsaLoquitur]

This is petty of me, but I really want to know what the Advent Calendar will have. Since I don't spend a lot in a given year, the AC is always an invaluable source of bulk minifigs. Santa Ren FTW if we get him.

[Dragonlego27]

That encounter on Jakku set sounds like the perfect set for that giant space pig. Come on lego, you'll never get another chance!

[Pulp Detective]

Meh all the sets sound painfully boring,it's a pass for me.But that means I'll spend more money on the Rogue One sets.

[Jayoheazy]

TFA sets sound meh except the resistance X Wing. That blue will look look pretty damn cool next to the others on my shelf

[wesker]

Bit disapointed there isn't anything we already know. Its also a shame they had to waste two of the sets on non-existant ships, especially after barely anyone bought the Yoda Chronicles stuff.

[benderisgreat]

So after seeing this set list, it seems I will be getting only 2 sets: Encounter on Jakku and Vaders Tie Advanced. I am still unsure about Rex's At-Te, though. It's probably based on Rebels version, but 5 minifigs for 100-120$ is a bad deal, even if they all are exclusive. But maybe after seeing pictures I will change my mind about this set. Overall not that many sets that are interesting to me, I expected a lot more of Rebels sets with Inquisitors and Ep 7 sets. Maybe now since ep 8 sets will come out in September 2017 instead of January we will have more Rebels and ep 7 sets in freed up release window.

[BrickBob Studpants]

Brickset have added their report:

The AT-TE contains all three Clone Commanders, a Stormie and an Inquisitor (though they couldn't specify which one). Sounds great

[Renegade Clone]

Brickset reports the TIE Advanced vs A-Wing is £80, not £30. Not really a surprise.

[BigEl]

Great, all the hype and excitement for the new Clone Turbo Tank are gone now. Good job Lego by pulling off another ATT and supposedly screwing up the visual apperance and design accuracy even more

Looks like the Resistance X-Wing is now the only set I am excited about apart from UCS Sets we havent seen yet.

[Richpepperell]

From the Brickset report it looks like it'll be fairly easy to pass on some of these sets. The Lego animation series sets are always easy to ignore (if you pick up the minifigs elsewhere) and I'll happy save the money from the CTT and AT-TE for the upcoming Death Star. The TFA sets sound great though, as does the TIE/A-wing.

[Darth Kylo Ren]

We usually get UCS pictures at NY Toyfair seeing that the echo Base is May the 4th they might show it there. Death Star might be more of a SDCC reveal.

[Darth Malgus]

Well £79.99 for a wing and tie sounds more like lego.

[Gadzooks]

So it looks like the X-wing will be white and blue, rather than grey and blue as we saw in the preliminary. Darn.

[ChiefPie]

Looks like we may get a new Tarkin in the vader vs a wing set.

[TheNerdyOne_]

Looks like we may get a new Tarkin in the vader vs a wing set.

A bit disappointed that it might not be Commander Sato like the picture seemed to depict. I can only hope that they're saving him for a Phoenix Home set, hopefully the Quasar Fire-class but I'd settle for the Liberator or Pelta-class. Doubt that'll happen though.

Other than that, I'm really excited for the Rebels sets this wave. I've been looking forward to that AT-TE since I saw the episode.

[Renegade Clone]

So I guess the TIE Advanced vs A-Wing will come with...

• Darth Vader - Maybe with red eyes since it is Rebels? Probably with the Type-2 helmet.
  
• Sabine
  
• A-Wing pilot - Probably new torso print, since Rebels figures always have simplified printing. New helmet printing I hope for variation. Maybe they will go with Grey-Wing helmet as they often wear in the show.
  
• Commander Jun Sato or Phoenix Squadron trooper based on Ralph McQuarrie's original designs.
  
• Did not see the confirmation of Grand Moff Tarkin - updated Grand Moff Torso!
