LEGO Star Wars 2017 Pictures and Rumors

That shuttle (which most people believed would be the big set in the first wave before Krennic's was spoiled) and the AT-ACT are extremely obvious candidates for the summer 2017 wave - there's usually 3-4 100$+ sets each summer, so plenty of space, and shuttles and walkers are usually popular.

So far we have no information about Rogue One sets next summer - might be because the film is not yet out?

Maybe one of those vehicles will be retail exclusive? First mention about them appears usually around 1 or 2 weeks before summer wave release.

Hmmm, fairly tempted to avail of the free A-Wing pilot offer and then just buy only the A-Wing Vehicle off of ebay or bricklink. Lando probably drove up the price a good bit so I wouldn't be very surprised to see vehicle to go for pretty cheap.

I would love to see both of these, but I think the AT-ACT is more likely given we've just had Krennick's shuttle, preceded by Kylo Ren's shuttle, preceded by the Endor shuttle... all of which are still on the market. It's been ~4 years since the last AT-AT, and the AT-ACT has been much more heavily featured in marketing.

Good thinking. Might even be able to get two of them for not much more than one boxed.

Man I thought it was Kanan without the hair.

Without the hair? I don't follow...

I believe he was referring to wanting to see Kanan's new blind eyes print (assuming there is one).

Meaning we could see what his face looks like. Sorry I should have explained better.

Unless I'm very much mistaken, all the 2017 sets that were on S@H labelled as coming soon, and due for release on December 16th have all dissapeared. I had them all in my wish list and it's now empty. Very odd....

Maybe they have listed it prematurely? It's not like it would impact the sales of other sets or affect holiday buying? Very odd indeed.

No news when will 2017 sets will appear in my region but I already saw some people in Hong Kong posting pictures of 2017 sets.

Looks like the pages have now been taken down entirely. If they were up by mistake, I wonder why they were changed several times, and up for a few days before being taken down... I suppose we'll never know.

I think I mentioned in this thread, I've noticed some weird behaviour a few days ago, where half of the SW sets were gone from my shop, then they got back, and now the coming soon sets are indeed all vanished.

But then again, this whole S@H website is a steaming pile of crap since the redesign at least, I couldn't even order from there, hat to go through the phone...

I would be amazed if we didn't have a First Order Walker in the first wave for episode 8. Would they have two Walkers out at the same time?

Why would you be amazed? We haven't seen a FO walker in action at all, only in the far backgrounds, and there's no guarantee we will in Ep8. The AT-ACT is a low-hanging fruit, I'm also pretty sure it's coming.

Anyway,  does anybody have any info regarding the 2017 Summer set 'Rebel Hanger'?  As it's from episode4, I really do hope it's Yavin4. 

[Artizan]

what other rebel hangar from ep4 is there? the fake rebel base on dantooine?

Just watched the official Chinese trailer for RO. Makes we wonder if they'll release a Imperial Cargo Transport (black one, four wings) in the future. The craft seems to have quite a big role in the story. It would make a great set.

Here we go with the color again :) It's acutally not black, rather dark grey. The Scarif DLC of Battefront has it, so I've ran around/on top of it a couple of hundred times in the last few days. I personally think it's not a very interesting design, it's a cargo container with 4 wings slapped on it, with no remarkable details, I would be disappointed if they took a spot in the summer lineup for this. But then again, I know for army builders these dull grey chunks are of use, so I guess many are agreed with you.

It's possible that they've decided to hold them until 1st January so that they can clear a backlog of older sets that have been marked as 'retiring soon'.  

It will be interesting to see if there's any decent post-Christmas sales this year on LEGO's website; I certainly hope so.  I've had my eye on 75096 for a long time, but I refuse to pay £84.99 for it!  I don't know if different in other countries but there hasn't been much hype around Rogue One, especially compared to TFA, and this may be impacting on the overall sales.  I noticed last night that Amazon had the Advent Calendar back in stock - last year it was almost impossible to find.

I spoke to the manager at the lego store in Sheffield UK today. And he said that the sets will be available in store on December 15th.

15th makes sense, co-incides with the UK release date of Rogue One.

[Forresto]

AT-ACT seems to be a fairly significant and marketable vehicle. If TLG doesn't produce a model at some point i'll be very surprised. I have no way of knowing but I feel like the Imperial Hover Tank and such will not feature quite so much but still has a set.

I would fully expect a new walker soon - it's a chance for such a great set, but Lego seen to have got lazy with AT-AT's, I'd love to see Lego try and address that.

[INDYcec]

We sorely need a new rebel fleet trooper released somewhere soon!

Additionally, the new sets are in other store's catalogues as well, like TRU and Webbhallen, so they'll definitely be out on shelves next weekend...
