Has anyone seen this? Supposed to be a Walmart Exclusive to match the one from Target

 

Clearly a prank. No box, no instructions, and no sticker sheet. It's a fake.

[Agent Kallus]

Its a joke video

Where did you find this? Brickset also has this set listed so I guess it's real. I hope they'll soon bring out a new version of the minifig scale one as well.

A site associated with Hoth and bricks ;) It's not preliminary, but I don't want to take any chances.

Thanks for the hint. It's nice that it also has the folding wings.

This is a Jangbricks channel (biggest Lego Youtuber), who wants to parody all kinds of stuff with it
With this set I guess he wants to parody that we need a rehashed set with new colour scheme for every terrain.
Funny thing is; his modifications make it a better set than the actual one.

If anything it shows just how much effort and work he puts into his videos, that he was able to make you think it was a legitimate video from one of the hundreds of other "lesser" Lego youtubers.

I don't think he was trying to parody the whole rehashed sets thing, at least not primarily. I think he's still very much in parody other youtubers/clickbate videos mode.

I mean look at where he talks about where he got his information from (and that was the only place he could get it) "The cached version of the Italian Shop@Home site". He's parodying youtubers that get flimsy "information" from unreliable sources and try to pass it off as legit. Or when he goes on about how we're going to see it in the Last Jedi movie and what not. There he's parodying people who make videos that try jump to the conclusion that just because it's made into a toy, then it will be in the movie and/or make outlandish theories about side movies.

Please, don't take anything Gnajbricks says seriously. But anyways, has anyone heard anything on the cantina? I'm wondering if it's a store-exclusive set.

[Commodore Thrawn]

I'm honestly surprised we still haven't seen the January Last Jedi sets yet. By this time last year, all the winter sets were officially revealed (including the Rogue One stuff).

[BorisBritva77]

That's strange, but this site has all the january sets descriptions.

O_O

interesting ... 

75197:

Send reinforcements - the combat set of specialists of the First Order!

Let the First Order shooter take his place, then charge the gun and aim. Guard the weapons with the sturdy stormtrooper-executioners of the First Order, armed with laser axes.

Can you defeat the Resistance? All in your hands!

75200:

Go along with Ray in search of a hut on the mountainside on one of the islands of the planet Ech-To. Teach her to own a light sword and try to cut a stone boulder.

Sit back by the fire and learn more about the Jedi Order, and then spend the night in order to sleep well before the new training day.

75201:

Help Finn, Rose and BB-8 to capture the unfinished AT-ST!

Jump to the suspended lift and climb onto the walker. Turn the steering wheel to deploy the gun, and control the walking pylons to start moving. Lead fire to retreat to a safe place where you can hold out until reinforcements arrive!

Can Captain Phazma stop our heroes before they manage to escape? Their fate is in your hands!

75202:

Prepare the speeder on skis to battle for the Resistance base against the forces of the First Order. Send the soldier to the laser cannon and other tools installed in the trench, and carefully monitor the movements of the enemy from the command tower.

Set the guns on the speeder on skis and check the serviceability of the engine. When the enemy approaches the base, put Po into the cockpit and send him to perform another difficult mission. Fight for victory to the last, brave Resistance soldiers!

So, I went ahead and cleaned them up a bit:

75195 - Ski Speeder vs. First Order Walker -  Defeat the First Order's Storm Walker with the help of a super-speeder equipped with skis! Plant the pilot of the resistance spider and the First Order troopers in their cabins, ready the guns and get set for an exciting adventure. The set also includes a small shelter with additional weapons and ammunition for even more exciting battles!

75916 - A-Wing vs. TIE Silencer -  Play out the space battle between the Kyle Ren TIE Fighter and the A-Wing Fighter of the Resistance! Plant the minifigures in the cabins of their ships, load rockets on board and start the fight. The set also includes a mini-station for repairing ships. Good luck, warrior!

75197 - First Order Specialists - Send reinforcements - it's the combat set of First Order specialists! Let the First Order gunner take his place, then ready the gun and aim. Guard the weapons with the tough stormtroopers of the First Order, armed with laser axes. Can you defeat the Resistance? All in your hands!

75200 - Ahch-To Island Training - Go along with Rey in search of a hut on the mountainside on one of the islands of the planet Ahch-To! Teach her to use a lightsaber and try to destroy a stone boulder. Sit back by the fire and learn more about the Jedi Order, and then spend the night in order to sleep well before the new training day.

75201 - First Order AT-ST ATV - Help Finn, Rose and BB-8 to capture the unfinished AT-ST! Jump to the suspended lift and climb onto the walker. Turn the steering wheel to deploy the gun, and control the walking pylons to start moving. Lead with fire to retreat to a safe place where you can hold out until reinforcements arrive! Can Captain Phasma stop our heroes before they manage to escape? Their fate is in your hands!

75202 -  Defense of Crait - Prepare the Ski Speeder to battle for the Resistance base against the forces of the First Order! Send the soldier to the laser cannon and other tools installed in the trench, and carefully monitor the movements of the enemy from the command tower. Set the guns on the Ski Speeders and check the serviceability of the engine. When the enemy approaches the base, put Poe in the cockpit and send him to perform another difficult mission. Fight for victory to the last, brave Resistance soldiers!

Nice, those look great! I'm REALLY curious as to what a "Storm Walker" is.

[Commodore Thrawn]

Woah! A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one! I'm really excited for January, these sets sound great!!

[Rocketbilly]

These sets sound great. The Ach To and Crait sets especially. Sounds like we might get a couple of vehicles in the Crait set, maybe like the A Wing VS. Vader's TIE set, but perhaps with one smaller and one larger vehicle this time. 

I've not seen the second trailer (or any TV spots) for TLJ since I want the film to be a surprise, so I have no idea what this "Storm Walker" looks like. The First Order seem to really like their walkers, don't they?

take the word 'storm' with a grain of salt ... this was loosely translated from russian, and the true english word might be different ... ie, combat set = battle pack

 Couldn't have said it better myself. The odds that it is a "Gorilla Walker" or "Scout Walker" are very high.

I wasn't overly fussed by the two Microfighters we've seen but I was just thinking a day or so ago that I'd like to see an A-Wing. 

 

Any word on the other twinpack?

I'd like to amend my previous statement and theory about the Han Solo sets.

On 11/11/2017 at 11:43 PM, Yorel said:

If I may may speculate a bit, I think I can work out what these are most likely to be.

Now I may have a few facts wrong, as I only have a basic knowledge of Greek Myth, but hear me out.
According to Greek myth, Perseus was the son of Zeus. Zeus was the son of Cronus, until Zeus rose up and rebelled against Cronus. The Furies where vengeful, chaotic creatures that came into being due to the actions of Cronus. And Pegasus was the famed winged horse that Perseus rode.

Perseus was also one of the major heroes of Greek Myth. As such I think it's fair to assume that if they're giving code names to 'Solo' based on Greek Myth, then Han Solo himself would be Perseus.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That leaves us with the following;

75209 "Beckett's Ship"
75210 "Crime Lord/Big Bad's Ship"
75211 "Bounty Hunter's Ship"
75212 "Millennium Falcon

I only just realized that I'd over looked this

75207 "Bp Vestas Chariot"

This is rumored/claimed/said to be a Han Solo themed battlepack, which assumedly is what the Bp stands for.

So how does this fit with my Greek Myth theory? Well Vesta is a Roman Goddess. For those who don't know, before Disney bought Star Wars and made it their own, the Romans "bought" the Greek's Gods and made them, their own. To the Greek's Vesta was Hestia the Goddess of Heath and Home. She was also said to be the daughter of Cronus and hence sister of Zeus.

Now going back to those spoilers I said I read (and that need to be taken with a grain of salt), they state that Beckett's daughter would be the character Kira, played by Emilia Clarke. It was also said that the Crime Lord had a female enforcer/Second in Command (apparently Thandie Newton's character). Now either of these two could be "Vesta", Kira being an Ally to Han and Beckett (As Hestia was an ally/sister to Zeus) and Newton's being the big bad's second (and Hestia being Cronus' daughter). Adding a bit of weight to Kira, is the fact that Hestia was said to be a chased virginal Goddess and the spoilers claim that Han and Kira have a bit of a romantic history together, in that Han attempted to woo and pursue Kira, but she wasn't interested and it's said that at the end of the movie, she's still not interest in a relationship with Han, outside of friendship.

So there's a possibility that the battlepack will feature one (or maby both) of these characters. And given that we've already got a battlepack featuring 4 named characters and will have another one with 2 named characters before Solo is released, it's somewhat more likely.

Then again, I could just be reading too much into it and using fake spoilers...

These have been known for ~15 days or so. :)

I've obviously been looking in the wrong places for the past couple of weeks...or I dozed off at the computer, this is possible.

[BPVFX]

I just want to see the Battlepack and Ach-To from TLJ...

The description of the Battlepack specialists confirms ANOTHER F.O Gunner, Atleast 1 Executioner Trooper, Possibly 1 Stormtrooper? Who else? Another Executioner or even ANOTHER Snowtrooper?

It's a shame only Luke and Rey are in the training. The campfire scene has R2 and Chewie but they are in much cheaper sets anyways. :)

again, take the translations with a grain of salt ... but as long as it is 4 stormtroopers of any variety it'll be another battle pack for me to get 30-40 of ... more snowtroopers would be a bonus though ...

[getbusybrickin]

I apologize for the potential redundancy, but I have not seen a clear answer for this question. Is the T-47 sand speeder from TLJ or from another source?

[Brickweiser]

No one knows. But its highly doubtful to be related to TLJ. Most likely BF2 or just creative license.

Interesting note. Lego provided Star Wars Explained copies of both the Brickheadz two-pack and the Sandspeeder for give away. Yet, still no official announcement of the sandspeeder.
