You’re right, it’s 5,374 pieces for $649.99 :)

Probably the latter. No way, former.

And confirmed to be OT?

Ewok Village?

Only the Prequel sets have been confirmed as remakes, so this could be something else; I am leaning more towards a UCS ship, in light of the high price and part-count.

The micro fighter has mando and Grogu if it makes it better:)

A little, considering the price, but unless Mando has a new helmet print or Grogu has a Beskar chainmail shirt print, I do not see the appeal (as I have both characters via other sets). 
BTW, any more information on the Swamp Speeder? Price, Minifigs, etc?

Hm that is intriguing. The figs might be worth it. Maybe. Maaaybe.

[Classic_Spaceman]

I can see a Sail Barge like the one that leaked being ~5,400 pieces.

I honestly do not understand why lego hates the geonosis arena. It’s different for Star Wars,it has lots of cool things you could,would shut up like all prequel fans due to it including like everyone from AOTC,and it’s never been made.

Yavin $160. 12 figs potentially more from brick clicker 

Beautiful.

This is fun so 75363 should be the Mandalorian’s N-1 microfighter. They’re $15 now I guess.

Eh, for including Grogu too if it's bigger than a standard one I'll be ok with it being $15.

Just to steal FoggyFate's thunder, there is a $200 buildable Chewie coming in September. 

What?

…is this list a bad joke?

Yavin makes up for it.

They tried at some point, there were prototype creatures made, but it never made it to shelves for some reason.

 

 

Thoughts:

mechs: ew. We knew it was coming, but it doesn't make it any less stupid. They are objectivly worse than Microfighters, and 50% more expensive to boot.

Microfighter: Meh, it's fine. Price increase sucks. They've gotta update either mando or grogu or I can't see it selling well.

Swamp Speeder; This'd be the "semi battle pack" of the summer then. Guess is 41st but if it's 327th I might get a copy.

Yavin: Are people overlooking how great this is? People have wanted this for literal decades. I'm very excited, especially with a 12 figure count.

Chewbacca: a weird choice, but nowhere near as absurd as the mechs.

AOTC is hated by a lot of fans...it just wouldnt make sense to use resources to make something that some ppl might buy, especially since it'll be expensive.

Times are changing just look at celebration last year.

Really hoping the large D2C set is the Home One.

Im hesitant with Yavin, it could be cool. More interested in the mystery Ahsoka sets..and Im gonna guess one of them is her T-6 shuttle

Would be awesome, but given the rest of this wave I doubt it.

Has to be.

[Fulcrumfan91]

T-6 I'd definitely get, without hesitation. Missed the last one and I love Ahsoka. I wonder if the T-6 might be a smaller set and the big one is a Ghost...I feel like the big one will be the T-6 tho. Based on lego's history. Very excited for it regardless

If the D2C is the Sail Barge, could the Boba Fett mech include RotJ Boba?

I guarantee it does...I dont think BoBF was that popular? I mean with re to how many ppl watched it and compared to OT Boba, likely that one would win out of the two? Plz correct me if Im wrong on that

Popularity aside, the Slave I Microfighter included TBoBF Boba, so the figure is still in production and could be included in the mech.

Yeah, youre probably right. Makes sense.

[BrickBob Studpants]

Depending on what the Ahsoka sets are like, this is incredibly likely to become my least favourite 2HY wave they‘ve ever put out. Impressive. I‘m happy for you guys who look forward to the Yavin 4 set, but I pretty much hate the entire list.

This makes the Marvel list look amazing in comparison

Edited February 19, 2023 by BrickBob Studpants

[Gontron]

So if Yavin 4 is the big 160$ set, what is the 130$ one?

The Swamp Speeder COULD be good if it includes Bly,and the 327th. That being said it’s pathetic and embarrassing that lego STILL hasn’t remade Phase 2 Rex even so it’s been 10 years+the fact he sells for 200+ dollars.

...which cuts into that set's sales, because lots of kids (and Afols) just want it for the cheap boba. It'll be interesting to see how these play out.

Again, the mechs suck, but really? It's just your opinion and all but I'm genuinely curious. Why don't you like the Yavin set? (Or swamp speeder for that matter?)

[SketchBrick]

Definitely a lot here I'm happy to skip, but honestly that's fine by me considering how many cool sets are already confirmed for this year in other themes. Need to make budget adjustments somewhere 😂

I tried to warn y’all.

[Kit Figsto]

Is the Chewbacca a realistic bust (like the Darth Maul one from forever ago or the Porg from a few years back) or is it like a megafigure (like the Harry Potter ones)?  I think the latter could be kinda cool, actually.
