Thanks. Sounds terrible smh. Might actually give this one a miss, was expecting to grab it but SAND BLUE???

No problem. It sounds kind of average. But I'm going to reserve judgment until pictures. A lot of people hated the sound of the new HP sets until they saw them.

This is true, the way the fin is described worries me tho. On the other hand a lime green speeder sounds dope. I’m hoping this means we’ll get at least descriptions of the other sets soon, although I’m guessing this only happened because of its theoretical May 4 reveal. 
 

edit: also I’m guessing the Kylo hair is for Hunter and the Doc Ock hair is for Tech?? The others are all bald/VERY short hair and Crosshair isnt in this.

Crosshair being absent would suck, because

that would have been our best chance to get him in his regular get-up. After all, it is rumoured that he betrays the team early-on and becomes the Imperial commander many believed to be Cody at first.

Yes, this has been a theory for a while. If you look in the trailers, the squad leader and Crosshair have the same exact sniper rifle. If it is Crosshair, I wonder if he will have a black head to avoid spoilers 🤔

Maybe he’s in the $30 set? It’s a stretch but let’s summon the resident coy oracle @MandRproductions did I crack it?

FalconFan is hinting this isn't 100% right, I'm guessing he's talking about the updated list that says crosshair isn't in it.

Edit: and stu_.d just said he needs to make some changes to the list.

Oh thank god. Although I say that now and watch it be “yeah it wasn’t garbage ENOUGH the original list gave it too much credit actually the whole ship is lime green and it comes with a single R2 figure and that’s it” lmao. 
 

edit: so stu_.d said “squad leader” is imperial Crosshair which tbh it’s a cool design that fig would be nice to have.

Echo not getting his screwdriver hand is very dissapointing. I think it could have worked really well with a new mould for an arm attachment like CitizenBrick's Furiosa figure. Plus it could have been reused for other amputees.

It's a shame. Hopefully this leak turns out innacurate or they make a new mould down the way.

There's a teaser to the UCS R2-D2 on TLG's Insta. It confirms that we are getting the same old R2-D2 minifigure but, a nice close-up of the Lucasfilm 50th Anniversary brick

Wasn’t there a thing back in like 2015-16 where Lego pretended they were gonna do more disabled figures, made one kid in a wheelchair and then dipped? Would have been an easy PR win and a more accurate figure but ya know one new mold is SOOOOOO expensive 

According to an update from a certain reliable leaker, Crosshair is indeed included and indeed in his imperial outfit.
Regarding the overall description: the color of the shuttle sounds kinda off, to me. Isn't it supposed to be dark grey/black, in the series?

Yuuuuuuup. Every canon appearance of it is dark grey or black. So Lego naturally said “we paid for the whole color wheel, we’re going to use the whole color wheel.” More sand blue for MOCs would be nice but jeez.

They did exactly that though. We got figures with wheelchairs, hearing aids and very recently a blind man with a guide dog. 

Blegh, I hate it when they do that. They have the colors, so they could easily do that. Use that color wheel of theirs for the unseen interior or something (as in, the parts covered by the outer layer.

Oh well, maybe it'll be a good substitute for the shuttle that comes in 2010's 8096: Emperor Palpatine's Shuttle, which could also use an update if you ask me.

Ah ok my bad. Still tho, one new arm mold? Really, Lego?

Any chances of getting a version of Crosshair before his 

defection, or lack thereof 

are rather slim then, unless they do a set based on the TCW arc the Batch appear in, which is highly unlikely now  Too bad, I vastly prefered his regular get-up over the

Imperial one

Stud._d said that he is still working on correcting the list. He said to take most of the points with a "grain of salt." I would hold back on some of the judgment 😅

But leaping on the tiniest crumb of information and immediately screeching about it to high heaven is this fanbase’s favorite thing to do! (nervously shoves last ten posts under the rug) 

I really want this set to be good so I hope he’s right and most of the points were garbage but I’m not holding my breath.

Yeah, I'd like to know as well - I don't follow IG religiously.

type # Legoleaks into the search bar, that’s where I found it. 

At least this kills the no helmets rumour, the one that seemed to be an April fools thing anyway ( but kept getting mentioned nonetheless).

If it’s contains a spoiler character then perhaps they’ll not officially unveil it till after the first episode or 2.

 

 

Thanks!

The amount of detail in that shuttle description is turning my usual grain of salt into a handful. Do leaks of this nature happen much (aside from the minifig details)?

I'm actually not too upset if it does turn out to be sand blue. I love that colour, and it'll make a bit of a change from the vast amount of grey in Star Wars sets (even if it is kinda grey-blue...).

Most importantly though, I'm glad they included the most contentious figure of all...

A GNK droid. All hail GNK.
