Bounty Hunter Pursuit (people want this though),Hailfire Droid,Homing-Spider Droid.

Lol yeah I feel like Bounty Hunter Pursuit is not happening. I'd totally get it.

I do wonder what would be considered "out of left field" for the large sets....the $200 one seems like it'd be a master builder set. Maybe it's Mos Espa lol

A 200 dollar Book of Boba themed Mos Espa while random would be super cool and would likely give us some really good figures.

Guys I’m not a mod, and do not want to be, but it’s getting into proper wishlisting now. 

The “Future Star Wars Thread” is a good place to put some predictions.

Aight, fair. We'll see what the set list is whenever it comes out

Though anyone who was excited about the large 2,000+ piece set in September will be veryyy disappointed.

Hadn't had enough time to get too excited about it, but this news means more money for other sets in the theme this year. Not too disappointed.

This then got turned into 'Dooku could be coming in a set' kind of rumour i.e. something from nothing. At least that's what I can gather.

Thanks for clarifying

Also, is it an actual PT set or a PT-era one? That‘s quite a significant difference  If it‘s the former, I guess it‘s a random TPM set.

That would actually be cool, since we‘ve never had a remake of that 2000 set!

[Kaijumeister]

At this rate, I’m just going to put my stock in the Ahsoka sets being good and will keep an open mind for everything else to stave off the disappointment. Everything that’s leaked about the show which I will not utter here sounds like excellent Lego material.

Mechs / buildable figures sound like such a waste, but I’m sure market research supports their introduction into this theme. Let’s see how things pan out.

Sounds like a buildable object or creature to me. Can’t say I’m surprised

I think that’s a good way to handle it. I just hope the show will actually get sets though

To be fair, I think it will. Summer 2020 was a dud in this respect outside of the Razor Crest, but Lego has been pretty decently on the ball with tie-ins for new media over the past two years. Plus the popularity of Ahsoka as a character is something even Lego can’t ignore.

But beyond that, I’m shocked that they’re choosing not to do anything for a Jedi-series game again (although we don’t have the full picture I guess).

I thought summer 2020 was pretty decent, aside from the AAT build.

But yeah lego has to know by now the popularity of Ahsoka and Mando season three. I’d assume the three sets aside from the $200 in September have to do with those.

Also yeah no Survivor sets is super annoying.

So just to sum up, we have those four gimmick sets (mechs?), one PT set, three unknowns, the $200 one, and the rest are OT. Correct?

If so, let‘s hope those three manage to save the wave from complete mediocrity then

One of the $15 isn’t related to the other three, hence why the set number is a little lower.

Knew it!

Finally, you’re being helpful! ;)

Is the rest accurate? Promise I’ll forgive you if you tell us

As far as I know, again there’s like four or five set numbers with nothing more than piece counts and prices so I’m not sure what the names are.

Also 75357 should be the only number skipped the rest of the year as it has nothing attached to it.

Really? Anything OT is automatically mediocrity?

Actually, I think this has been known for some time, though I don't remember who said it.

Yes, because it's been done to death  Give me Mon Motham, Nien Nunb, and/or new aliens, or get outta here

I’ve been saying it for months, but purely guesswork. I don’t think anyone official has…

Ok excellent. Great info, cheers.

Yeah this. 

Give me something new and I’d appreciate it’s existence. 
 
The Hoth AT-ST is the perfect example. 

[Fulcrumfan91]

Agreed, OT has been over done, I'd prefer something new and interesting to yet another TIE or X wing

Pretty sure it’s been stated the two larger sets (which we assume are OT) are very left field.

One is just, not great, but the other is something long over due that will probably get hated for being ot but aside from that it’ll be well liked.

That’s a shame, but the other sounds exciting!

Release the Kracken foggy, it’s your fate.

The one that is “Long Overdue” is almost certainly a Mon-Cal Cruiser IMO (40th Anniversary of ROTJ+never been made)

Doesn’t have to be RoTJ though, but I’d be shocked if not. I still can’t get on board with this prediction, seems too good. I have no idea on the other, though!?

I completely agree, at this point I wouldn’t even want the list to come from anyone else but Foggy!
