September 24, 20222 yr Last I heard, we were unsure if LEGO was doing any minifigure packs for 2023. Is that still the case? I'm hoping they take the opportunity to make them both Andor sets and give us Reveal hidden contents some Pre-Mor employees in one and some of the other characters like Bix, Timm, Brasso, and Maarva in another.

Normally I try not to be annoying about correcting mistakes, but this is about the 6th time you've misspelt "definitely", and my brain's built-in spellcheck is now holding me at gunpoint to make me write this.

We still don't know, but if they are coming there's no way either of them are andor. Weird, my autocorrect doesn't notice it. I must have spelled it wrong so many times it gave up. Hope your brain's spellcheck doesn't pull the trigger.
September 24, 20222 yr I for one am greatly looking forward to the Jar Jar bust. As for some actual discussion, how expensive do you think the set that Rex ends up coming in is going to be? I really would like to get him and he seems pretty likely for next year since we're getting the 501st BP and already have the new helmet mold. My main worry is that he'll be locked to a mediocre $100+ set.

Same with the Morbius one — I haven't bought a comicbook-based set since 2018, and I'm seriously considering buying the Automorbile, just because of the memes and how ridiculous it sounds.

I would assume he'll be in a 2HY set if he appears at all this year, since none of the 1HY sets we know about would fit him and I can't see them putting him in a microfighter. As for the cost, I have no idea. I suppose the good news would be that if he IS in a $100+ set, the only thing I could see it being would be a Venator or Gunship.

If it was 50€, I'd save it for some more interesting sets, but come on, Morbius with an Automorbile for 25€? That sounds so hilarious that I have to get it.

You assume, they won't try to get 120$ for a Y-Wing? To be fair I assume he will come in some sort of overly expensive speeder like the last one.

I know inflation and lego's prices are bad, but not nearly THAT bad. My guess is either a new venator or Laat, in the same way Cody was in the AT-TE. Something cheap is possible, but lego knows how big of a draw P2 Rex would be to any set. On 9/24/2022 at 3:56 PM, THELEGOBATMAN said: Same.

I'm not sure whether I'd rather have it have a front that looks like Morbius's face, or a 1:1 remake of his car from the post-credits scene.

September 25, 20222 yr Now that I think about it, I'm not sure how likely it is that we'll get any especially large prequel/CW sets next summer. There are certainly more expensive sets than there used to be, but I feel like the combination of new shows coming out in 2023 and the fact that we just got a big prequel set this year doesn't exactly make it seem likely to me that we'll see anything huge on that front next year. The only thing I could maybe see is a new Gunship, but I think Lego might wait until that's out of circulation before they do a new minifigure scale one.

I still think a Gunship will be released; Lego has seen first hand how well Republic prequel sets sell in this day. I can’t see why sets based on that era would slow down - look how obscure they’re becoming (Fighter Tank)

For whatever reason (probably that it's one of the few republic vehicles to hit that price point), lego just likes making them.

V-wing and Jedi starfighters and various cis droid ships are about the only other sets that small. They tried to sell the Aat at that price (2015 not 2020) and while I liked it I think many felt it was too chibi.

Absolutely zero need to release those figures.

You're definately correct there, that choice was baffling. So many great legions we haven't had since they used cut-out visors, and they go with the troopers from battlefront 2005. Not complaining a ton, as I'm sure we'll get more and more legions since lego is seeing the demand for clones, but I definately would have bought multiple copies if it was coruscant guard or 327th star corps.

So many great legions we haven't had since they used cut-out visors, and they go with the troopers from battlefront 2005. The only phase II clone trooper types we've had at all in Lego form from Battlefront II 2005 are the basic 501st trooper and the ARC-170 pilot, are you thinking of a mod for that game instead? The rest of the phase II troopers from that game would be less obscure choices than the purple 187th clones from the recent fighter tank given how popular that game was, whereas the 187th were originally created by hasbro as 3.75" action figures and never appeared in any media with that design at all, though they did appear as merchandise a couple more times. I reckon Lego chose them for the Fighter Tank because they already wanted Mace Windu in the set (presumably as an alternative to his UCS gunship appearance, though of course the figures are slightly different) and then tried to find unique clones that would fit with him (and then picked the old purple hasbro design instead of his clones from CW S7 on Anaxes) A set with the real original Battlefront II 2005 phase II clones would have been neat, and in a way perhaps better if the upcoming battlepack was based on them instead of the BF2 2017 501st, as then we could have potentially gotten some still missing Ep3 designs (Galactic Marine and an almost-Bacara) and some neat designs that were based on unused Ep3 concept art as well (Blue Airborne, the Jet Trooper who was an Appo/Gree concept, and the Engineer who was based on the concept for Commander Faie and his troops). But that would never happen - they were a strange collection of designs back then and they'd still be strange now (Galactic Marines acting as Clone Commanders fighting as part of the 501st was always a bit weird. The devs were mainly working off concept art during development to be fair though, and the concept of clone legions at all was still new). The troopers in the upcoming EA Battlefront II 2017 based 501st battlepack work a lot better as a group, even if the exact designs of the troopers is still pretty obscure given they're from class skins that were only released in-game well after the game launched.
