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

Andor is quite possibly the only thing I would buy any set from without even a slightest hesitation. 

The best thing that has ever happened to Star Wars since the creation of Star Wars.

Same for me, along with Jedi: Fallen Order/Survivor. Unfortunately they each only have one set. We really need a Cal Kestis minifigure.

Agreed on all points.

A Fondor Haulcraft or even something ISB related would be an instant buy for me.

Fondor needs to happen for sure.

I am finally watching Andor, and the show is superb! It is a shame there is only one set, and the Andor fig does not look that much like Andor, imho. Where is B2EMO, Mon Mothma and Dedra, Lego?

I'm not sure how keen Lego is to revisit non-Mando shows, but I hope the relative popularity of Andor does allow us to get some more sets. At bare minimum I guess we can look forward to at least getting another set (or maybe more than one) for season 2, which releases next year.

[The Stud]

I could definitely see Lego doing the Fondor at least to tie in with Season 2. There's not a lot of other stuff from the series, or at least from the first season, that I can see them making though, but the Fondor should suffice. 

As for Fallen Order/Survivor, I'd LOVE to see the Mantis at the very least, but there's so much more set potential from both the first game and from what I've seen of the second game so far.

[THELEGOBATMAN]

I'd love to get an accurate Andor, the one we got doesn't look like him ngl.

I also need Dedra.

On a completely different side note.  I have built all of the sets that came out for May 1 this year and have yet to see a single paper bag in any set to date.  Has anyone actually seen a paper bag in a set yet?

Terrible planning by LEGO. I love the coin GWP so I wanted to get a battle pack and the Endor speeder chase (turn the base of it into a clone battle scene display + speeders and figs looked so good), but they were out of the coin in less than 20 minutes if they even had it in the first place.

North Europe does not have the same stock of GWP's as south?! in lego.com store. lstore.hr is separate tho?

UCS X-Wing too? Wow. Impressive. Most impressive.

Ok, so built maybe was the wrong word.  I have all of the others built, x wing just opened.   I have had the sets for a few weeks now as the local toy store put them out early as part of their going out of business sale.  I guess when you are closing down street dates don't mean a whole lot to you.  Not like you are worried that Lego won't send you more sets.

Yeah, I'm planning on swapping the head/hands for his RO variant, maybe the hair too. The figure in the set looks almost like a senator or diplomat.

Syril's even worse though, if you didn't put the name on the box it'd just be a generic corpo. Doesn't even have the orange on the cap.

It's insane to me that we don't have one, since they have to know he's desirable and there are so many ways to put him in a set with little risk. A Mantis microfighter, a small duel set with him and an inquisitor, throwing him into an imperial vehicle set, I mean, c'mon, you could've put him in the BD-1 set too. 

Not to mention that they could just finally give us the Mantis with the whole crew...

Yeah that's what, 4606 pieces? 5155 if you count battle for endor. It's definately possible, but man, I wish I had that kind of time.

EDIT: Totally forgot that some stores don't care about street dating. Everything but the x-wing's been found significantly earlier.

Was it confirmed that the jabbas palace set was postponed or just cancelled? Was hoping to get that big slug this month 🥲

To be honest I am not even sure what's happening. There are 3 LEGO stores in three countries in this area: Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia. Physical LEGO stores look exactly like any other LEGO store in the world, but their sites are very different. I am not sure if any of these countries even got the coin GWP that I wanted so badly cause I was on all 3 of them midnight and didn't get it in any of the carts. They are also not doing 5x VIP thing and instead offering 10% discount on all Star Wars set, but the catch is that all sets are overpriced aka Endor Speeder Chase is set to 80 euros, but here it's actually 90 euros which is around $99.

[Shiva]

Maybe the LEGO shops there are franchisee, or working with LEGO, but separate?

Endor Speeder Chase, 999SEK  it's somewhere around 88€ or more. At lego.com

I'll second that. While I personally like fallen order more, I think it's the best SW content of the disney era from a critical perspective. It's leagues above everything else besides RO in terms of character, story, cinematography, etc.

That said, not a TON of good opportunities for sets, especially with the age rating. The only two clear options have been discussed to death- the Fondor and the imperial speeder as a battle pack. I could see both coming, but wouldn't expect either.

We don't know. A lot of sets have been getting cancelled and postponed both over the past few years. That said, if it was structural or processing reasons (and I can't imagine it was due to controversy, they've done another palace recently), it'll probably show up eventually. Maybe they were having trouble with the new Jabba mold or something.

I mean, the cap has some printing, but it's missing the orange on the brim that denotes his rank. Syril and Linus Mosk have the orange brims, but everyone else just has the stripe that LEGO decided to give Syril for some reason. 

So yeah, if there wasn't a name on the box, you could successfully make the argument that it is a generic corpo and definitely not Syril. Pick literally any of the generic corpos from the episode that's light skinned and beardless - the figure's more accurate to them than Syril.

Just watched @Brick Clicker's LEGO Dreamzz video and what does one of the characters have in the biggest set? A kama!

But of course we can't get that in Star Wars anymore, for "reasons".

Word, totally agree. I think I'll wait for sets to come out for szn 2 for that one tho, still not sure about Ambush on Ferrix atm.

When it was revealed, I thought great-looking set, but there's I don't think I'll ever buy it (I was one of the few people who were actually very excited about Andor and thought it would be incredible. The price is at least 20€ too much.)

I bought it right after watching the first three episodes. It's a fantastic, overpriced set.

It's actually the only LEGO set I'm not displaying on my dedicated LEGO shelves, but right on my desk.

Haha that's rad. Yeah I definitely like it, it's more I gotta choose between it and a couple other sets I may wanna get. Not sure yet, but will find out Thursday! XD

Also...with all these summer lego images popping up, any chance summer Star Wars sets will be included???

 

[SEmrys]

Been monitoring eBay for the new Luke and Mando. I miss the pre-Covid days when figures from new sets were listed at somewhat reasonable prices rather than just jumping straight to £30+ 

I forget, would the new hair piece ever show up on Pick a Brick or do they forgo all listened pieces?

Probably not. We are always last and much later than other reveals (If saying it will only manifest the opposite).

Nope.

We won't see August reveals for at least a month and a half.

The sets that are getting revealed are releasing in June. (Except for DREAMZzz, which is understandable since it's a new in-house theme.)
