Seasider Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 Disappointed if the Helmet collection rumour is true and we don’t get a Scout Trooper. One of the coolest designs of all the armour plus also it must be highly recognisable at the moment because of Mando Quote

If they branch out into other eras, we could easily get clones, jet troopers, sith troopers, etc down the line. Did you know they're on phones now? I just found it for IOS and I'm halfway through attack of the clones. I'm not sure why a clone helmet with alternate colors and rebel pilot helmet with alternate insignias hasn't been produced as part of the first or second wave. It seems like those would be more popular than a TIE pilot, at least. TIE Pilots are in more movies then clones, and a rebel pilot is basically a ball which is difficult to do with the way the current model system is set up. A clone helmet is a no-brainer though. Also a brick-built clear visor would kind of look crappy with all the brick lines through it. Edited March 8, 2021 by hondohnaka Quote

I mean the clones are the main republic troops in half the films, I'm not sure imperial TIE pilots have more screen time. And I'm also not sure how the rebel pilot helmet is any more "ball" like than the other ones, though I admit the visor might require some parts to be available in trans-orange that currently aren't.

The TIE Pilot helmet is literally the rebel helmet slapped over the stormtrooper faceplate so it wouldn’t be hard at all for LEGO to come up with a rebel helmet set since half the design work is done already. Also, both TIE Pilots and Clones are in 3 movies each and that’s not counting the TV series, games etc. Clones no doubt have much more screen time than TIE pilots Sad to hear that the scout trooper helmet is actually a first order stormtrooper helmet. I’m over the sequel stuff so I’ll probably skip it. More money for Vader’s helmet. Quote
THELEGOBATMAN Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) I'm surprised there's no Kylo Ren helmet yet, if done right it could look absolutely amazing. Edited March 9, 2021 by THELEGOBATMAN Quote

Agreed Too bad the Scout Trooper rumour was false, but I appreciate the FO Stormie since it opens the door for non-OT helmets. The more variety, the better Quote

Seasider Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 Promo bricks is saying that it’s still a scout trooper and not a first order trooper helmet Quote
MAVERICK26 Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 I really hope that it's still a scout trooper. It's so much more relevant to what's going on, as the FO was literally destroyed. Quote

But then, so were every other empire that set itself up, including any that scout troopers have been in, so that makes them just as relevant as each other Quote

By that logic they can't make any clone wars sets since the clone army was dissolved, or even the scout trooper helmet itself since the empire was dissolved BEFORE the first order was. Plus, the first order canonically has holdouts at the end of the timeline, so... 6 hours ago, Seasider said: Promo bricks is saying that it’s still a scout trooper and not a first order trooper helmet Maybe it's both! Last wave was 3 helmets anyway. Quote
MandRproductions Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 Put a cap on your First Order Stormie Helmet. Quote
BrickBob Studpants Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) According to promobricks, there's another set in the pipeline: 75296, 18+, 663 pieces, 69.99€, 8/21 Maybe that explains our helmet dilemma Edited March 9, 2021 by Lego-Freak Quote
Seasider Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 The early rumours were for 3 helmets like the 2020 series so fingers crossed we get 3 this year too Quote

MandRproductions Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 75296 is probably the Vader Chamber. Quote

MandRproductions Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 Just now, Lego-Freak said: What about 75369 then? Just the wrong number attributed to it. Quote
Trainfan20 Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 It is the scout trooper that is coming. The website just didn't have the right name Quote

Empire is also destroyed. Does that mean they... shouldn't do Star Wars sets at all? Quote
