So we’re getting figure leaks for the 2023 advent calendar (it’s a new Ewok looks really good) before we even have set names????????

Patience, my young Padawan  The same thing happened with Marvel, where AC figures leaked before we had the 2HY set list.

That‘s a really cool figure! One of my favourite AC exclusives in a while

[Mandalorianknight]

Really weird that the Calendar is leaking this early for multiple themes. That said, I like the ewok, it's a very nice figure.

Seems like they entered production first, for whatever reason. Maybe it’s the packaging, as that‘s the only thing that‘s unique to the ACs in terms of production processes

Great minifigure, love the choice.

[AD_Bricks]

Wow, that's a pretty great Advent Calendar fig! I can't believe they haven't done one before, it's such a great choice.

So Mandr hinted that NONE of the sets coming this wave could realistically have Captain Rex and he said that we’re getting Three Mando season 3 sets🤷‍♂️ Idk if he misspoke or if the summer wave has one more mando set.

Had to check out the video after I saw your comment, apparently the Rex / Cody helmet sets might be the only Clone Wars content we get this year as well.

I was hoping that the introduction of Cody last year and getting a buildable Rex helmet this year (not to mention the 501st Specialists…) indicated that the stars were finally aligning for a P2 Rex minifigure, but alas. 

As a general comment, I do hope the summer flagship set this year isn’t yet another big grey vehicle. It’s the been the pattern since 2019 now I think, and whilst they’ve all been fairly solid outside of the Justifier, I’m hoping for something to break that trend this year.

He did allude to there still potentially some unknown sets (e.g. sometimes exclusives aren’t leaked until later than the rest).

He also mentioned there are a couple of sets Count Dooku could turn up in. Although he probably won’t turn up in them at least this means we’re getting some prequel sets.

Ehh From what I remember, he was saying it’s possible Dooku could be in a yet to be revealed set (e.g. aforementioned exclusive) but based on the info available it’s unlikely because (a) he doesn’t fit into the leaked sets and (b) there’s literally no clue on if the non-leaked set(s) are even PT related.

Rex still seems like he's guaranteed to show up relatively soon given both his popularity and relevancy in current Star Wars projects, but I am surprised that he's not coming this year (or at least in whatever Mandr saw). I'd guess they want to save him for a big set and didn't want to do another this year, but I think they could have gotten away with putting Rex in a cheaper set and doing a larger one next year with another popular Clone Commander.

[BrickBob Studpants]

Maybe the lack of TCW sets is the „controversial“ part that Promobricks was hinting at  At least we have the helmets and the BP, better than nothing!

Hopefully this doesn‘t mean it‘s an OT remake fest, that‘d be the worst case in my book

I honestly don’t understand how after THREE years of TCW/Bad Batch having Phase 2 Rex as a key character that they still haven’t bothered making him. He’s literally 200 dollars on the secondary market and lego just doesn’t care😔

Some new information is up on falconfan's insta but without context it doesn't mean much to me.

Still don't have a clue what the megabluck you are on about ( other than the recently revealed GotG3 sets but nickel post??) but I'll elaborate, it was a list of set numbers, relates dates and part counts ( the missing context was the set names) taken from Lego Minecraft Goat.

I wouldn’t believe everything he says.

Falcon fan Made a meme on his instagram about the guardians sets lack of villain figures in the phineas and ferb nickel format. I saw that was the only new thing he had posted to instagram, so I assumed that was what you were referring to. Sorry about that.

You mentioned over in the Marvel page that we’d be saving Money on the Star Wars summer sets as well. I’m assuming you’ve seen the list. Are we in for disappointment this year?

I don’t know if I’d say disappointment from the sets being bad, but definitely not what most people were expecting/wanting.

[Mandalorianknight]

I'm eagerly awaiting this list. I personally won't be too disappointed if it's got nothing for me (Rivendell along blows out my budget for the year, and I'd still like to get the throne room diorama and an indiana jones set or two), but of course it's always better to have better sets. 

At this point I just really want to know what the gimmick is. A new, cool gimmick could revitalize the current lack of small sets, but something stupid like action battles or mechs would be really rough.

So...no Endor, no Gun ship, no P2 Rex, no Fondor, no Ghost...interesting. (Mostly a joke here)
