So does anyone know if we'll get another Zeb in retail exclusive set with Ahsoka? He was only ever released in Ghost set and is the only minifigure still exclusive to that set. We already got 2 Kanans, 1 Hera in other sets . I was really surprised that Zeb isn't included in Captains Rex At-Te set since Zeb was important part of that episode in the show. So I hope he's in that exclusive set.

[Amazing Bricks]

I hope Zeb is in another set, it is weird that he's only been in one set. Not much is known about the Ahsoka set, but it's coming.

Is it a summer exclusive?

Yup.

I don't really watch rebels all that much, are there any guesses as to what she might be in? Major ships or plot points lego hasn't made into lego yet?

The only thing I can think of is that she pilots an A-wing (which we will be getting later) and she fights off both of the season two Inquisitors. I think we will get the Seventh Sister in that set as well.

I'm just hoping it's the Blockade Runner, as that's the only ship at the higher price point I'm expecting I'm happy to dish out on.

Ahsoka did travel in blockade runners at the end of series 1- start of series 2 as well.

The Arquitens light cruiser is a good candidate as well imho, they could replace the now retired ghost with a blockade runner, and the assault carrier with an arquitens on the imperial side, once the carrier retires.

As much as I would love a Blockade Runner, I'm definitely still betting on her being included in the A-wing. I believe it's been said that Ahsoka will be the main draw of the set by far, with something large like a Blockade Runner I can't imagine a single figure overshadowing the rest of the set, even if it is Ahsoka.

[Robianco]

Do people still think we'll get another A-Wing when there's one with Vader's TIE?

I can't see it myself.

Given that we're getting another standalone X-wing when we already have a standalone X-wing, yes.

[Hewman]

I think it's a chance, Her A-wing looks different enough and TFA released two X-WIngs not too far apart. I was hoping her A-Wing was with Vader's Tie as I like her blue one much more but it wasn't to be.

[Darth Malgus]

I agree, I can't see it happening.

I agree itś unlikely, BUT, the A-wing in the big set is clearly Sabine's A-wing, they could theoretically just do a generic blue phoenix squadron one, throw in a generic pilot and some other minifigs and sell it for $30-35 (id love on). The A-wing currently is one of the most prominent ships on Rebels, after the ghost/phantom

[Robianco]

I agree that the A-Wing has come into prominence in Rebels but there's still a bit of a difference in the A-Wing as part of Rebels and the X-Wing as part of The Force Awakens (and the entire SW universe in general).

Having one of the main hero characters in the ST pilot a personal Black X-Wing but also having him 'fly' a generic grey/blue X-Wing in a very iconic scene gave them the chance to put them both out and seeing as most of the other X-Wings were grey/blue that would be a seller (we also have two other new pilots for that ship thanks to the micro fighter).

If Ahsoka in indeed the main draw to the set, as has been mentioned, then a smaller build such as an A-Wing would seem about right... but I just can't help but think it wold be something else. We've had speeder bikes for both Ezra and now Kanan so it's not beyond the realms of possibility but they were in two separate waves and were cheap £20 sets.

[benderisgreat]

If Ahsoka is really the main draw of the set, then it's highly unlikely this set is a cheap 20-30$ one. Also on a point of another A-wing this ships aren't anywhere close to being as iconic as X-wing. So I can't seen us getting 2 A-wings in one wave, at all! The only scene I can imagine represented in a set is Ahsoka's duel with Seventh Sister in one of the episodes, so the build is probably going to be space port entrance or something like that. As far as minifigs go if this set is 50-60$ I imagine we'll see minifigs of Ahsoka, Seventh Sister, Zeb, Chopper and a Stormtrooper. Including this line of characters makes most sense, but who knows what Lego decides to put in this set?

Agreed, the A-Wing is dull in comparison to the X-Wing and although it appeared in ROTJ I honestly can't remember seeing it.

You don't remember the A-Wing from ROTJ!?! It took out the Super Star Destroyer!!!

[pittpenguin123]

Personally I dont think we should blame Brick Productions 2016 for making fake lists. i saw the same post on imgur and using a IP tracker, it has has a IP address from a different country so i dont think he made it up, mostlikely he reposted a list he saw on imgur.

all I said is that A-wing isn't that beloved ship as X-wing is. So it wouldn't make sense for Lego to release 2 of them in the same wave.

[Bycougars]

With how many large sets are already coming out in this summer wave I highly doubt there will be a rebel blockade runner in this wave. Maybe next year.

[Forresto]

Wait what about a B-Wing? I remember in a trailer they were introducing the B Wing to the series. Maybe Ashoka will be in that?

Otherwise a blockade runner or the rebel flagship (It looks like a clone wars era medical frigate) would be ideal.

Lol - nope. No recollection of it!

Plus it reminds me of an inferior version of the star fighter from Buck Rogers.

The problem is we have evidence that the A-wing set exists, I believe it was even initially reported straight up that Ahsoka would be included in the A-wing set, while there hasn't been so much as a rumor regarding any other set that Ahsoka could possibly be included in. LEGO has a history of making multiple sets for recolors of certain vehicles, such as the X-wing or Jedi Starfighters (and I doubt it's a coincidence that these are the only two types of vehicles in Star Wars that they can really do this with, recolor sets are great for business and they would logically want to do them as much as possible). This situation would actually be very similar to the old Ultimate Space Battle set, the A-wing included with Vader's TIE is more of a supplementary build than the main draw of the set.

LEGO doesn't like to do location sets unless it's a location that is very iconic, something which a random spaceport entrance definitely is not.
