I wouldn‘t mind it, but I also don‘t get why this set idea is requested as often as it is. It‘s just a regular TCW Y-Wing with a different colour scheme and rather limited minifig potential, no?

Is there anything else he could be in? Uh, what? They could put phase 2 rex in literally any clone war set it doesn't even need to be 100% accurate afterall our first siege of mandalore Ahsoka was with a Cis vehicle Quote

I am also convinced Bo Katan’s Gauntlet is released (perfect way to get Gideon; and also most likely I think…) and that has a similarity with the Y-Wing which might prevent them releasing at the same time. 1 hour ago, Classic_Spaceman said: About the set being random, while we did get a 332nd ISP, the commanders have all been in sets that make sense (Cody in the AT-TE, Fox in the Coruscant Guard Gunship; and even pre-redesign, Gree appeared in Kashyyyk sets). Fair point; admittedly Fox is inaccurate because he wasn’t in the scene ;) Quote

Doubtful, since LEGO knows that they can put Rex in a large set and squeeze more money out of TCW fans! Quote
Meaf Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 Y-Wing would be a cool way to get Rex but honestly I kind of hope he just shows up in something cheap I can buy without any hesitation. It would be kind of lame but I could totally see him just being in some $30~ set with a BARC and an enemy counterpart (kind of like the older set he was in). Quote

True, but they've done it before where they'll put a desirable fig in an expensive set and then a year or two later, put them in a much cheaper set. It's happened a bunch of times with the European magazine promos (Cloud City Luke, 212th clone trooper, Bo-Katan, etc), a few advent calendars (Omega, Cloud Car pilot, General Riekaan, etc), and even this Vader from the mech I believe was exclusive to the Imperial Shuttle set that was like $70 or something.

GlacierPhoenix Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 Looks like next year we're getting a kids activity book with the Mandaloran Fleet Commander from the Fang Fighter. Nice to get that in an affordable way. Quote
Chazinski Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 Been reading up on it, but does anyone actually think we'll get that Rex Y-Wing? It's been rumored for a while, but I honestly have no idea if LEGO would make it with all these other sets being leaked, and as stated earlier, there's some better material to put Rex in rather than a recolored starship. 1 hour ago, BrickBob Studpants said: Pfffff, none of this is gonna happen anyway I may just as well have promised to hoola hoop on the moon dressed as Jabba the Hutt for how likely it is Dang it boys, call off the party!

It‘s just a regular TCW Y-Wing with a different colour scheme and rather limited minifig potential, no? Don't count your lego deadpools before they release, there's always a chance. I on the other hand can rest safely now that we know a Malak MINIFIGURE is coming. Same here. It feels like something people wanted just as a way to get Rex, and now that we have him, it's carrying on out of sheer inertia. I mean, it was one scene, I'd honestly understand the standard TCW Y-wing more... though it's been almost 7 years since the last system scale Rebel Y-wing, and I'd honestly prefer one of those most. Since Moroff was in the last one, why not throw in Saw and Two Tubes? 43 minutes ago, Classic_Spaceman said: Doubtful, since LEGO knows that they can put Rex in a large set and squeeze more money out of TCW fans! Nah, lego does this all the time with troopers. (Off the top of my head- Preatorians, death troopers, dark troopers, 212th clone troopers, clone shock troopers, etc) If a mostly reliable source is reporting it, I'm inclined to believe them. Quote

Purely subjectively, I predict we see Rex again in 2024. Y-Wing is the logical guess. There is a rumour about Rex, but has not been backed up by anyone concrete as far as I am aware. Quote

I mean, if you put rex in a set with the standard Y-wing (let's not pretend lego wouldn't do this for accuracy reasons), do you really think it'd sell any differently than a blue one? Not to mention the yellow Y-wing could get us standard clone pilots. 5 minutes ago, Classic_Spaceman said: I could see Rex being a magazine gift, but not in a mech or other <$50 set.

Brickwraith Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 I feel like Rex could come in literally any clone or separatist vehicle Quote

CallumPears Posted October 16, 2023 Posted October 16, 2023 Saw some people were wondering whether Malak would reuse a mould from the new Ultron in the Avengers Tower set. Looks like that's a confirmed no as the Ultron in that set just has a standard minifig head. 2 hours ago, GlacierPhoenix said: Looks like next year we're getting a kids activity book with the Mandaloran Fleet Commander from the Fang Fighter.

Still annoyed at myself for not getting more of the loyalists when they were in the magazines. Quote
