LEGO Star Wars 2018 Set Discussion - READ FIRST POST!

[Forresto]

I'm shocked at how expensive the Crait Speeder is. Would have much preferred a set of just the speeder, Poe and the Resistance soldiers for forty as opposed to a set nearing ninety. Yikes.

Not the place to complain about price, there's a thread on price discussion (that I created to boot), but there's something seriously wrong with TLG's price points. The cheapest non battle pack Last Jedi sets are Ach To and the Heavy Scout (which doesnt even show up in the movie), everything else is over $50, with at least four sets pushing $100 and a fifth close to. Absurdity of the highest caliber.

Not sure, but the poster on the subreddit said it was from Solo.

on the lego sub it shows as infinity war too ... i've also now seen it labeled as a black panther minifig too ... i really hope that it isn't from solo, as it looks absolutely nothing like thandie [or her character] ...

There haven't been any pix of Newton's character in the movie (besides one BTS pic of her with RH), so we don't know if it looks like whoever she is playing.

actually, there has been, of her and ron howard ... and she should be much lighter in skin tone ...

that pic is one yes.

regardless, the person that actually is responsible for the pic has now said it is a marvel minifig ...

This year seems to have a lot of good sets at bad prices or a lot of bad sets at terrible prices. I do want to see if sales are affected this year and If Lego will eventually rethink their strategy

Hope they do. I want 2012-2014 back!

Yep. In that exaggerated way that suggests she is very female in the anatomy category. 

"very female" lol as opposed to... but yeah I get it. The old female minifigs were androgynous bodies and the femaleness was depicted by the hair and the face print.

you sure about that?  many other sources are claiming that same image to be from infinity wars ...

The source that is rebellious and scummy has found potential verification from MakingStarWars.net.

'The source that is rebellious and scummy has found potential verification from MakingStarWars.net' - that might be a good starting point

A incredible boba fett photo leaked. He has duel molded arms I think. He is from either a solo set, the may 4th promotional figure, or the ucs cloud city

Looks exactly like the one we've gotten before to me, in the carbon freezing chamber or UCS slave one, minus printed arms. Just has arms switched out for dual molded

And the photo is very blurry... not that incredible to me haha. but thanks for the heads up!

I doubt January. It's likely something to be released in stores, or a May the 4th promo.

Just European sites carrying the official statement/news at the moment so it's probably limited for now.

LEGO has confirmed January actually.
