LEGO Star Wars 2023 Set Discussion - READ FIRST POST!!!

[BacktoBricks]

Okay so on another note, just seen some different angles of the new Brickheadz set and I find it highly hilarious / extremely frustrating that they managed to capture the detail of her black boots in this form and yet chased that detailed so much they managed to scare it away from her new Endor minifigure.

What I can’t get around is the fact that this gunship was posted about over 3 months ago. 

Its almost as if Promo saw this and made the "rumor" about the post to make it seem more credible.

I will say this though. I rescind my comment about the Ghost and Gunship pieces. The Ghost, in canon, is pretty much to scale with the Millenium Falcon, if not bigger. So the $170 price tag and nearly 1400 pieces lines up with the current playscale Falcon being 1350 and $170. Just sayin.

To be honest, the biggest thing pointing towards “real” is that this came from Promobricks and they’ve apparently insisted multiple times it’s real (though I haven’t seen that, only seen people here say that).  I feel like it would be one thing to post this as an article and then the last sentence say “Oh, by the way, happy April 1st” or something, but I feel like they tend to take precautions a lot to keep credibility (like, they’re typically pretty precise with language for leaks, saying “it most likely contains X” and stuff, even when it’s something very obviously true), so I feel like posting this and doubling down multiple times would hurt their credibility if it is indeed fake.

Watch this actually be real and the real prank was the friends we made along the way. 

If (and this is a Starkiller Base sized IF) these are real, then Gunship is a surefire buy. We haven't had Shocks since 2014, and they've become very desirable on the aftermarket. Alongside their appearance in Mando and Bad Batch, they're a bit overdue.

Swamp Speeder rumor is so disappointing to me personally, that it has to be real. Literally of all the units, 332nd is last on my list of must-haves. They should've struck while the iron was hot and made a Siege of Mandalore battle pack back in 2021.

Ghost I don't care either way, and the UCS Venator would be nice, but Endor would be nicer.

IIRC they actively said that the figures in the sets would seem like an april fools joke in their original article. IDK if that leans towards fake or real but they did say it.

Maybe figures were the joke but the sets are real? That'd make more sense. Ghost, RGS....UCS one

Yeah i honestly doubt the gunship having padme and palpatine, most kids wouldn't care for regular palpatine and padme, maybe the clones, but there has to be at least a jedi IMO, hopefully some price points aren't correct or jokes because i really dont wanna pay 170€ for a ghost tbh.

EDIT: which has 5 figures and not the full rebels team.

Wow. I'm going to need more popcorn. It's April 1st guys. The fact that you spent 4 pages discussing the validity of these "leaks" will make the PB writers happy that they were so successful.

I'll pay that much for a Ghost if it has a spacious interior

I’d pay $1000 for a Ghost. It’s a great ship, and a lot more visually interesting than the Falcon. I would hope a playscale version would have to be at least the same size as the playscale Falcon though.

Edit: I agree I’d want better figures though.

If the Ghost is an Ahsoka set, it'd make sense you wouldn't get the whole Rebels team....first off, Kanan's gone and Ahsoka and Sabine went off looking for Ezra. So it'd make sense it'd be Hera, Chopper, Jacen...and 2 more figures. Idk. To me it's fine.

No they are not

[Goofster]

Wow, honestly, if this true, im not gonna get the ghost, it could be the best star wars set ever with the most accurate interior but it really lacks in figures: hela, chopper, jason (no-one cares for him), quarria (cool but we couldve gotten someone like zeb), and some random guy we dont know. Dang it

Not what i meant, i meant the surviving members, sabine, hera, zeb, chopper ezra and jason.

ALSO, who says sabine and ahsoka couldnt reunite with the others

Sorry, meant to say we don't know whether these are a joke or not, I find it annoying that they seem super serious about them tho and keep insisting they're real.

Promobricks is the most reliable source in all the LEGO comunity leak. And they wouldn’t go to the trouble of doing all of this for an April fools joke

They absolutely will, but if we're looking at LEGO set patterns, usually the whole team is split up....and that makes sense in this case story-wise because...that's what happened. I'd assume Sabine comes with Ahsoka in one of the other sets.

Why didn't they just wait a few days to give out the info? They knew there was gonna be suspicion, seems fishy to me.

[Flawless Cowboy]

We’ll know in a matter of hours whether this is a trick or not, deep breaths everyone

Yeah so I'll just get the other ahsoka set with thrawn, sabine, ezra, ahsoka and maybe zeb? I think zeb will unfortunately be left out tbh, im only missing ezra and zeb from the main rebels cast, which sucks.

But 170€ for 5 minfigures which 2 of them we don't care for is pretty absurd to me.

[Matichado]

Guys apparently someone on Reddit earlier this week posted the same leaks with the same minifigs as promobricks said, maybe it is real. I don’t have confirmation on the Reddit guy thing tho

Yeah that'd be a dope line-up. I like the Ghost so wanna get that one too, don't care that much about the figures.
