Baseless, gross, disgusting, pure fantasy speculation.

I'd almost put money on them never making galactic marines, atleast not unless they make an appearance in Bad Batch.

The issue with Galactic Marines is that they wear Snowtrooper helmets; the current part is single-moulded, so either the front mask would need to be printed white (or pink, rather 🤢) or the top helmet would need to be dark red. Neither of these solutions seem likely, so the only way that I can see us getting Galactic Marines is if LEGO moves to a two-part Snowtrooper helmet.

I still think the swamp speeder will have regular 501st troopers

No. We are not getting 501st Troopers in the ISP. From a simple business standpoint, which set is a parent more likely to buy; a $20 set with four Clones that only appear in BF2, or a $25 set with Rex and three Troopers that appear in both TCW and RotS? LEGO would be competing with themselves if they put 501st Clones in the Swamp Speeder.

Those two pirate figures from the Snubfighter look pretty cool, but apparently they're the only two coming in the set, which is pretty lame in my opinion. For $35, Lego could have easily thrown in 1-2 more figures. 

Disappointing. I will still probably get the set, since the fighter design is good and I liked the scene, but the lack of a third Minifig is frustrating (especially since it means that we are probably not getting a S3 Greef!).

I checked, and they look like they use the exact same face print (making the fact that they're all we're getting in the set even more disappointing), so I'm certain it's another Nikto.

Are you sure? The image is very blurry, but the pilot's head seems to be lighter than Vane's and his eyes look different.

Where was it said that we are only getting the two figs on the Pirate snubfighter?

The picture of the box looks like there could be space for a third figure cut off the side, and having a battle in the box (i.e characters from 2 opposing groups ) is a selling point for children.

I think they definitely need a new mold for the head at least, since they're wearing that hat thing.

... I guess I must disagree. The main one at least was just wearing a hood ( that didn't change the shape of his head) and some googles above his forehead that could be easily printed on IMO.

Childish Landino was the source, and they were one of the people reporting that we’re only getting two figures in the Snubfighter.

If we're being real here 98% of parents aren't even going to know the difference, but I agree with your point. Lego would be cannibalizing their own sales if they put out another 501st set this year.

I think I see where you're coming from; the pilot might have goggles on or something. I don't think the head is lighter though.

[PRbrickbuilder]

Vane's face could have a better expression. It looks a bit bland for his character. The yellow suit/helmet combo is great!

Totally agree that they really need a third character, especially one from the good side.

But I mantain that the Anzellens would need a new head mold. Sure, you could hypothetically just make the beard, goggles, and hood printed, but I don't think it would look very good, especially considering their faces are already quite ET-like to begin with.

Wait, what? That's absurd, and that set is not going to sell well at all. Even if it was just adding Mando, a character pretty much anyone collecting LSW already has, it'd be enough to justify the set more. But only two figs in the entire set is CRAZY.

Well its saving me time, I will not have to sell him on BL, so honestly dont mind that another Mando is included.

Bro people need to stop this...

We already have 501st troopers on shelves. The last regular troops were on shelves for far longer than any comparable battle packs. I get we need Rex, but it took us 10 years (18 if taking into account ROTS) Cody.

And Lego doesn't care about an army of specialists, you saw the "pilot" for the UCS Kriffing Gunship. We are not getting 2 501st battle packs in 1 year. This is why no one takes clone fans seriously. I'd rather have Kashyyyk Scouts than more 501st troopers. Yes. You read that right.

Watch it be Season 7 187th and we're all wrong. 

As for Yoda, perhaps. But I could see them shohorning in a Kashyyyk trooper there, or maybe a Shiny. Maybe another Tarfful.

I will be 100% honest I wouldn’t mind the set being TCW 187tg brown troopers I love those troopers and tbh would’ve preferred them over the legends ones in the tx 130, 

regarding the figure inclusion the most likely outcome to me it’s either plain p2 or 327th tho I still see 501st, 332nd, 41st and 442nd as really viable options.

I think the 1083 set it will be a clone or droid set I still see the gunship as a viable option but really unlikely, since 2025 is the release date I think of the new Star Wars movie then that probably means there won’t be a big 20th anniversary of ROTS and this year the Ucs gunship retires then most likely next year we finally get the gunship, but I still think there will be a big clone wars related set this year

You really put 442nd up there in the same breath next to 501st, 327th and 41st.

@Lego_Minecraft_Goat has some „not so great“ SW news. Wonder what that could be

I don't to want the  LSW fandom angry because they are too much to handle.

I'm guessing parts of the LSW fandom doesn't recognise the phrase "don't shoot the messenger?"

[BrickBob Studpants]

What could be bad enough to warrant such a reaction? The buildable Chewy being the $600 set instead of the $200 one?

Then again, it‘s the SW fandom. They eat you alive for far less than that

Dangit I was gonna say that.

 

 

Re- the Goat news, Uh oh. Can't imagine what the news is, but the wave's already hanging on by, what, the Swamp Speeder and Yavin? So my guess is one of those has some bad news regarding it.

I'm actually (probably the only one) gonna buy that Yoda Starfighter. I don't actually have one so I'm happy to see it, even though i'd have preferred pretty much any other clone wars/ROTS set at that price point.
