Lego sometimes, especially with starships, doesn't put all the content on the front box art. For example this year's X-Wing - the box art only includes X-Wing with R2-D2 and Poe, but there also was a little ladder side build and 2 more minfigures. There could be more to this set.

My thoughts exactly- although an expensive mould not on the front of the box wouldn't be a sensible marketing decision I guess.

Oh alright

I don’t understand why people think it looks bad. It looks very good and very accurate. It just needs arm printing

Also black hips or printed hips

There's also back of the box tho.

Technically, their belts are white with o my a small amount of black showing. Printed would be good

While it would be cool I really doubt they put Boga in the Soulles One set. The 2010 set had 454 pieces and the new one has 487 pieces so it's definetely not brickbuilt. There is of course a possibility of it being a new mold similair to the old Boga or the Dewback but if that was they case they would surely put it on the ''minifigure list'' on the front of the box like they do with Jurassic World:

Perhaps so. Not sure if they put the Dewback in the Cantina (2014) in the minfigure box list but he was visible on the front. 

Again it’s all speculation. There has to be a reason for that price because it’s absurd.

My first thought was a retail exclusive, because those tend to be stupidly overpriced at times, but I guess it'll get a full release, otherwise we probably wouldn't know about it?  I mean, from what I gather, exclusives tend to stay secret a lot longer than other products.  Looking at that price ratio, Boga would make sense, but given how there's been very few molded creatures in Star Wars for a very long time (Dewback was probably the most recent one six years ago, and before then, I think the last one was the time we got Boga in 2005, unless I'm forgetting one in there), I sort of doubt it.  

I also wanted to bring up, I don't think we've officially had confirmation on the number of minifigures for the AT-AT until today when that list says six.  I would think Luke, Veers, and 2x AT-AT drivers are pretty safe assumptions, but I'm wondering who the 5th and 6th figures will be.  Probably a snowtrooper, but would they give two?  Could the last figure be a named character, since they like to throw those into sets they're only tangentially related to (ie: every bounty hunter besides Boba Fett ever that's been included in Slave I)

Thanks for sharing the official pics, it may have been discussed a few hours ago but not everyone will have had the chance to see them.

I think one of those two might come in the AAT. I personally think it'll be either Ahsoka or neither of them, but that's just me.

I think ahsoka's more likely, but I don't think we have too good of a chance of seeing either of them. ironic, as this season was described by Dave Filoni as Rex's arc, than ahsoka's arc, then they come together for the final one.

If they gave 3 figures in a $30 star wars set arm printing, much less that set being a 501st army builder, I think pigs would start flying and hell would freeze over.

There's a difference between omitting a ladder or little support thingie and omitting a giant lizard...they're of vastly different values to consumers.

Hidden side excluded evidently, can't even tell what sets they are sometimes

AAT - $40 - 286 pieces 

Nice. This pretty much ensures that it will be on the smaller side, which is perfect for me. The old blue one was so large and not at all what I wanted.

Changing the subject slightly, but are we expecting a UCS set to make its debut for May the 4th (as is typical)? It's been pretty quiet on that front...

If anything, we aren't getting 2 AT-AT Drivers, as we've never gotten that. We have, however, gotten two Snowtroopers in almost all prior AT-ATs. I'm guessing we'll get the 2014 lineup (Veers, AT-AT Driver, Snowtrooper Commander, 2x Snowtroopers) plus Luke. It's the best case scenario.

It's been far from quiet. First there were rumors discussed here, then a leaked A-Wing pilot and now it has been confirmed to be an A-Wing

Yup. Just yesterday A-Wing pilot minifigure leaked and the 200€ A-Wing for May The 4th was confirmed. I wouldn't say it was quiet at all.

That's why there's back of the box. They wouldn't just throw a giant lizard into space flying with a spaceship.

Maybe Boga is the one flying the Soulless One

Ah, not sure how I missed those! I stay pretty up-to-date on this thread and #legoleaks on IG. Thanks!

IMO if they had really included a Boga i think they would have had the scenery on the box art to be of Utapau with the Soulless One docked in one of the hangers with the Boga attacking it, or the Soulless One flying around that giant pit on Utapau with the Boga chasing it.

I wouldn't be surprised if the whole set was almost exact copy of the 2014 version. Motorized walking function would be a cool improvement, but probably not going to happen at that price point. Minifigure-wise admiral Ozzel (in general, an Imperial admiral) would be welcoming, though not really unique either.
A creative solution would be to base the AT-AT set on ROTJ, not ESB, and include some missing figures from the ROTJ with it. Or if not missing, figures that could certainly do with an update such as 5 whatever Imperial figures + updated Mon Mothma.


- Samppu 

Taking the creative solution even further.. I'd love for it to be based on Jedi Fallen order, the AT-AT from Kashyyyk with some moss covering the build, speeder bike, 2 pilots, 2 scout troopers (one with orange pauldron) and main protagonist of the game.

I just can’t see why that grievous set is that overpriced even more so than the buzzard which is based on the newest movie.For that id at least want a update to grievous’s arms/shoulders in terms of the mold and the cape.That and the clone being a 212th new mold at-rt driver would at least make me look twice at  it.
