@MKJoshA can you just clarify on what we can and cannot discuss in this thread? Just so we know what to avoid

• 2017 Winter Sets? (because this is a Pics & Rumors thread and I don't know if set discussion belongs here)
• 2017 Summer Sets? (I'm guessing this belongs currently)
• TLJ rumors from first page? (I think we can but we have so little info it's hard to discuss)
• TLJ rumors dropped by renowned leakers with no pictures?
• TLJ rumors dropped by new leakers with no pictures?

Thanks in advance.

You can talk about all of that. But for right now please don't talk about the last two since right now they have no pictures and only people's word that they exist. Give it a few days for this craziness to die down and then we can talk about TLJ rumors again, hopefully in a more civilized manner.

There is no Star Destroyer. Promise. The largest set is also $150 and includes Luke, Rey, 2 Stormtroopers, Guard (Grey/White with Black AT-ST Driver Helmet with White printing and Aurobesh) & R2-D2. 

I'm not investing any belief in this post, but just some interesting speculation:

if - ___if___ it's true, it means that

Spoiler

Luke and Rey make it to the "casino planet" with R2. Forceghostsolo's description of the "Guard" matches exactly the policeman uniforms from the "casino planet":

What are you doing atlas? Don't post leaked movie images here. I didn't want to see that.

To be fair: the image was in spoilertags

Can I please call everyone's attention back to that Italian site from a few pages ago? The guy on there seemingly saw the UCS BB-8 before we even knew about it and was talking about a play set sized SSD (and an AT-AT as well!)

A spoilertag was used but there was no mention or warning of why the comment was hidden. Regardless, this site has a policy of not discussing information, outside of what has been revealed in official trailers, until 2 weeks after the movie release. I'm pretty sure leaked movie images are against policy no matter the situation.

Okay guys, with the release of Rogue One happening now, please be reminded that we've asked you to wait 2 weeks before disusing anything concerning Rogue One that hasn't already been revealed in trailers. If you aren't sure if what you're about to say would be a spoiler or not, DON'T SAY IT! Us Regulators and Moderators want to enjoy the movie as much as the next Star Wars fan and as such we may not be present very much until we can each see the movie. DO NOT DO ANYTHING to make us want to make your lives difficult when we are next present!

If there are any major issues please PM myself, BEAVeR, Brick Doctor, or Stash2Sixx right away so we can deal with it. Thank you.

In a rumor thread a spoiler tag should always be assumed its for spoilers...I'm sorry you got that picture spoiled but you opened the tag at your own risk, don't get salty at him about it.  

[ChiefPie]

The people that could disprove anyone about the TLJ rumors would be the ones who saw the sets at the Nuremberg toy fair or New York. Any way I'm really looking forward to the summer wave especially the bounty hunters.

I read that too after translation... But all these being rumours, I will be cautious on confirming them just based on 1 or 2 folks sharing what they saw.. but Stash2sixx's trusted source also confirmed BB8.... so it's likely going to happen.

Was SSD and AT-AT mentioned in the first page yet? We'll see.

Is stash's trusted source a certain banned user who frequents Reddit?

Uh, when I mentioned what you quoted from me it was because the actual movie was coming out. That's very different from leaked set photos. If you don't want to see those, stay off the internet. Or at least don't open any spoilers.

I see how I quoted you out of context. I apologize. 

Are leaked set photos allowed in this thread? There's plenty of places on the internet to discuss the upcoming movie without leaked information.

In this case is it was not about leaking the set pic, but about matching the description of some minifigs mentioned with imagery from the film. And because some people don't want to get spoilered, the content was hidden.

(snip) I am entitled to a free gift of...R3-M2.

So it's out there.

As part of the national LUG I assisted at a local ToysRUs event in Norway last weekend ("LEGO building days"). One of the promos they had were the R3-M2 polybag. I would guess they had somewhere between 100-200 of them. I handed out quite a few of them over the weekend, but there was a still a fair amount left when the store closed on Saturday.

Sorry, i didn't mean to show any leaked images to anyone who doesn't want to see them. I did put it in spoilertags though

[Robianco]

Wow... this thread is really REALLY painful at the minute. I think I'll pop back when the mud has been washed away a little and we get some clarity on any upcoming sets.

,,In Star Wars: The Last Jedi there is going to be a First Order Super Star Destroyer. However, it isn’t like the ones we saw during the Empire’s era. The First Order Super Star Destroyer is huge, yes, but is just a triangle-shaped wedge. The classic Super Star Destroyer was a wedge with a city built on it in no uncertain terms. This is just a gigantic huge wedge, solid, and dark. I speculate this is the main command ship of the First Order in The Last Jedi. It appears Finn will end up on this ship as part of his mission." 

This is First Order Super Star Destroyer description. I think that LEGO set will look like that, and probably it will include Finn minifigure.

 

Probably it will be something like that

In Empire's End, it's stated that the Imperial remnant took Palpatine's Eclipse to the unknown regions. I'm not saying it will look exactly like the Legends Eclipse, but it's a good bet that this SSD will be the Eclipse. The description certainly sounds at least a little like the Eclipse we knew, whether or not the canon Eclipse is just a regular SSD or not is unknown.

Painful is an understatement!  I need to remove a few people here.

@ChristopherLee No, a certain banned member of this site that frequents Reddit is not my source.

Have we had any more news on that Jedi Starfighter that was rumoured to be a store exclusive for this Summer? Or should we just discard that?

[JekPorkchops]

There's no reason to discard that yet. The 2014 MTT came out of nowhere without any rumor predating it. I'm very hopeful this Starfighter is real.

Good. It sounds like a very interesting set, I hope it does indeed happen. We've been lacking in an Episode II Obi-Wan for a while, too, come to think of it.

Unless one of them is a Microfighter, I find the reports of both a TIE bomber and a TIE advanced in the same wave to be highly dubious. I know the sources are trusted but still - even if the bomber is Original Trilogy and Kylo's is Sequel Trilogy it doesn't smell right. 

Don't get me wrong now, if it's true I'll (of course) buy them both!!

For what it is worth, I was at the local store getting the winter wave a month ago and the guy at the register pulled me aside and said that a TIE bomber is going to be coming out, and it looks to be FO but he wasn't sure. So I guess we will see. I know Lego staff is not reliable source for info, when I asked him how sure he was he was pretty adamant that it is going to happen. Let's see if he's right.

Does anyone know if the Phase 2 Clone Gunner from the upcoming Republic Fighter Tank is from The Clone Wars show? I remember seeing Phase 1 Gunners but not phase 2. I know that the tank itself isn't from the show.

I can testify there is definitely Phase 1 gunners for sure. But I don't recall any Phase 2 gunners. There were some that looked kind of similar, like Wolfe pack ones, but I don't think any gunners. I'm sure someone will correct me on that though, I never really watched the show specifically looking for that type of clone 

What I can tell you is that the minifig seems to be really similar to Hasbro's 2005 figure called At-te tank gunner. It was under the ROTS line, though I don't believe it was ever in the movie. Here is a link to a review of the figure which is where got most of my info(links like this are allowed I think?) http://www.jeditemplearchives.com/content/modules.php?name=JReviews&rop=showcontent&id=1034
