[Goofster]

Uh maybe a bit on topic but also not, when i was playing Skywalker saga, i killed captain rex, underneath was a new head from what i remember i'll have to check but it had that grey square on his head, i took a screenshot but its on my switch so i'll have to use another device to get the pic, ill make another post once i can do that.

[the pic is gone cuz i need space for other photos.]
 

this is not a "leak" in any way shape or form, just putting this out so i don't get banned, this is captain rex's head underneath his helmet in skywalker saga.

The new Bo Katan is cool sure, but when there is no new character in the set, and the droid looks still abit off to the original, then the pull is inadequate, they could at least have included the little alien that was controlling the droid. I might BL Bo Katan if its possble at an reasonable price. 

Todays episode was great though, maybe the best mandalorian episode so far.

Lego designers often have little, select information to design sets for new shows, an unfortunate byproduct of Lego’s need to capitalize on the Current Big Thing. It results in sets that range in quality from great like the Inquisitor Scythe to quite poor like the N1 starfighter.

Quick question if set 75357 now is rumored to have 1394 pieces what set number does the set with 1083 pieces fall in? Btw is there a chance 75357 is a gunship cause it seems likely to

I said this on reddit last night and was nearly crucified

my personal guess is either gunship or ghost

Edit: could also totally just be some random OT set because we know how lego rolls with that

I don't think the N1 is that bad?

Maybe a gunship, but I have a feeling it'll be OT or Skeleton Crew related

To each their own, but I genuinely feel the N1 is awful, and the number of serviceable mocs floating around at the time of its reveal didn’t help its case.

It’s severely oversized, fragile, and poorly detailed despite its massive surface area. It captures none of the sleekness of the ship. The cockpit isn’t even sealed off from the back. Yellow “paint” piece applications are bizarrely out of place. It reeks of a rushed development.

I don't think we're gonna see the last Mando set next Tuesday unless they actually just screwed up the name. The new episode was interesting but doesn't fit the Fang Fighter v TIE name, and even if there was another set we don't know about I kinda doubt it'd be paced on this relatively slower episode.

(Lego has only made ONE ROTS/TCW Anakin That has a neutral face print and that came in Palpatine’s arrest) literally everyother anakin either has a Headset Print,Sith Eyes,or has the old TCW design. 

The Duel on Mustafar Anakin only has Sith eyes for one expression, whereas the other face has normal eyes and is completely neutral.

I haven't seen the episode yet, so don't reply to this with anything spoilery, but I'm pretty sure there was footage in the trailer that pretty clearly showed Fang Fighters and TIE Interceptors in a dogfight.

You never know when lego is gonna randomly loudly burp, say "screw it", throw a dart at a dart board and then just make a B wing or something lol.

[icm]

Actually a B-wing would be quite appropriate for the 40th anniversary of RotJ, but I wouldn't bet on them making one.

Wouldn't surprise me if its Jabba's Throne Room and the original leak got the set number mixed up with 75356.

Someone in instagram said set 75357 is jabbas throne room is that true???

I feel like in general, 99% of Instagram or YouTube "leakers" aren't reliable sources at all.  There are individuals that have gotten things right in the past, and then been completely off the mark on stuff later on.  Then there's the people who just repost/re-report rumors from IG/Eurobricks, and then it becomes a game of telephone where Eurobricks/IG then takes that as "fact" and suddenly in six months, when a set doesn't include Clone Commander Poop, everyone is confused about where that idea came from in the first place.

To be honest, there's a little over a handful of people/accounts with insider information that I think you can actually trust to be accurate and not just making BS up for the sake of clicks, and pretty much all of them reside on EB.  Granted, I know there's a few people who typically only report on SW stuff, which is the only theme I really follow leaks for anyway, so not sure outside of SW.

I was eluding to this a few days ago, the is nothing to stop anyone saying they knew something after the fact. 

No one knew about the episode 2 set from the Mandalorian... certain people know a lot and can't say anything, others speculate on YouTube,  I wonder if it's just click bait, surely there isn't money in it for them.

The set seems to represent that scene completely,  they may switch the minifigs.  How nice would a tie pack be, Moff Gideons from season 1 and the Interceptor and the bomber from S3

Just wanted to clarify (and someone please correct me if I’m wrong) that this is the current September line up, following Brick Clicker’s video from yesterday?

- 75354 (9+, 1083 Pieces)

- 75357 (10+, 1394 Pieces)

- 75362 (Ahsoka set, 599 Pieces)

- 75364 (Ahsoka set, 1056 Pieces)

- 75371 (Chewbacca)

This is starting to make the summer wave look much better in my eyes, particularly due to the presence of more system scale sets.

If that’s the case pretty yikes 😬. That would be double the size of the Boba’s Throne Room/2012 Palace yet it would come with less figures. Like a Jabba’s Palace at that many pieces would need at least 10 figures and I’m pretty sure the leak had just 6 figures.

The piece count makes no sense tbh. I don't think a Jabba diorama could be more than 1000 pieces.

If this is true, neither are Jabba's since diorama's are 18+. Piece counts are also just a little too high, but 1083 is more likely than 1394.

That lego_insider_news guy replied to the post calling it Jabba's Throne Room and said he was wrong. Grain of salt but that guy has leaked out 1 or 2 things now that other sources haven't...

What exactly did he say? At the end of the day, there are only a handful of people I can solidly trust so this random little page being boosted by lifebricks doesn't exactly fit my criteria but then again this has been a cluster f*ck of a leak season so i have an open mind

lego_insider_news said "This set is not Jabba's Throne Room. The piece count, set number, and age rating are right, but this set is not Jabba's Throne Room."

What does a 10+ set imply?

Should just be a larger system scale set. For a recent-ish comparison, the Light Cruiser was a 10+ set with a similar piece count.

[EvanHnuel]

Given the current state of affairs, Jabba's Throne Room is going to have to come out of nowhere if its coming out this year. Nothing left that fits it unless some of the set number/piece counts are wrong. They've changed around quite a bit since the birth of this list so anything could happen. 

If it's delayed, I personally don't see the point in releasing next year, after the fact of the 40th ROTJ and selling as well. 

However, bear with me, what if the Emperor's Throne Room has been a dud this whole time and Jabba's will take it's spot? There have been 2 of these sets in the last couple years and it always seemed a bit over the top to release it in a diorama format for the same price that it was on shelves for 2 years ago. The price and piece count would certainly make more sense for Jabba's TR. The previous 630 pc count could have been misleading since it was bound to the SSD and I always found it a bit too good to be true we'd get all of that for $70. 

All I'm saying is that 807 pieces and $100 seems way more appropriate for a Jabba's Throne Room set with a molded figure rather than a set that was on shelves two separate times in the last 7 years.
