LEGO Star Wars 2024 Set Discussion - READ FIRST POST!!!

Minor annoyance with today's advent calendar build (22nd) 

The front part of the cockpit is old trans brown, the back part is the new trans black. Noticed a mix in the other days too but at least those didn't have the two different colours right next to each other.

Yes, I’m surprised that even 20 years on we still don’t have set depicting the Anakin and Obi Wan vs Dooku. It’s one of the few lightsaber fights that’s never been done before. 

They still haven’t made Yoda vs Sidious either🙃

Tion Meddon isn't obscure. He might have a small role in the film but he's still prominent enough to warrant a minifigure.

The character absolutely is obscure, the fact he has dialogue doesn’t change that. This doesn’t mean that he has no chance of ever getting a figure, but I think it’s silly to assert that he’s a character that we should have gotten by now, or gotten before bly or bacara, which was what I was criticizing from the previous post.

The only ways that a $50 Turbo Tank could be “worth it” for the Minifigs is if it is based on R1/TBB/Mando (to a lesser extent) - A regular RotS one would just have Yoda, Luminara, Gree, and a 41st Clone Scout Trooper as Minifig options. 🫤

No kriffing way - LEGO does not count droids towards the overall number of Minifigs anymore, so this would be a $150 set with only two proper Minifigs! This is particularly strange given the CIS colours, as a large TCW set without (or without many) Clones is very unlike LEGO; at least if it were TPM I could somewhat understand it (though two Minifigs is still too low!). 
 

I'd submit the argument that at $50 for 341 pieces, the turbo tank would have to have like 8 minifigs to be "worth it"

The previous MTTs also came with very few minifigures- while lego doesn't count B1s as full minifigs, I think they certainly count them as figures in some capacity. I don't think it'd be impossible- especially if those figs are, say, ARC Jesse and republic crosshair - they know they'd get sales...

Ouch, that's really aggravating- check the parts list- I wonder if it's intentional or if they've mixed up the trans-brown/black colors.

The AT-ST is the mentioned unknown $200-Set? This set has more pieces than the old UCS-set. I guess we will have a remake or a set which is not only having a AT-ST in it.

Over the past two decades or so since the last UCS AT-ST, sets now contain a dramatically larger amount of significantly smaller pieces- I wouldn't say the larger piece count is evidence against it being a straight remake. Though I wouldn't say no to a new bunker...

So apparently the CIS MTT set comes with 11 droids and 2 minifigs.

Maybe those minifigs are 2 Jedi since there were rumors of several Jedi minifigs being included in sets later this year... Or if the set is based on the Liberty on Ryloth episode, I guess it could be Cham Syndulla, Mace Windu, Wat Tambor etc.

What’s the source for this? I’m not seeing it in any of the usual places

Kind of torn on this if true, you’d hope it would have more B1s but then again if anyone’s been collecting for a few years now at least should have a huge stockpile of B1s so in a delusional kind of way I hope there are at least two or 3 different types of droid to come with it. And if it is only two minifigures my guess would be a Jedi/clone to go against the MTT rather than some random separatist guy

Have we still not gotten a Wat Tambor mini-figure? I’ve wanted one since I was a kid, so I’d certainly grab one if so regardless of the price tag.

Tion Meddon should be included in a wheel bike and or Obi Wan’s blue interceptor remake……..

[CF Mitch]

OhmyGod! Is it true?
Are we getting 327th Corps clone trooper minifigures? 
I assume it'll come with Bly, even though it's a battlepack...
I don't even care about the builds that'll come with it, though that gelagrub does look like a nice addition  

Also great to hear about the UT-AT, provided it will have Bacara, aside from the mentioned 21st Nova Corps troopers  

Finally I'll have all the prominent Clone Commanders

Mitch

I’m actually quite hyped for the 327th BP.

 

I hope that it comes with Bly and a decent amount of troops. Maybe even Aayla?

Hopefully the build is a separatist tank and/ or a minifig scale swamp speeder. I’m expecting this to be the Clone version of Dropship vs Speeder.

 

 

Any ideas on what the final unknown set could be? My guess is either a rebel starfighter, an imperial vehicle or something based off of TFA.

I’m thinking it would be more of 501st bp with two clone vehicles going up against a couple of B1s. Otherwise surely the leak would be we are getting a clone vs droid bp?

I'm surprised no one's brought up that most of the droids could be B2s. We've seen blue/grey colored MTTs deploy them and it would explain why it's a smaller number. 
My guess is the set's going to be something like: 8 b2s, 2 B1 pilots, 1 tactical droid, 2 clone troopers.

I think that would really explain the lack of standard minifigs in the set. I definitely get the feeling that at the very least the 11 droids won’t all be standard b1s. A tactical droid or some commandos would go a long way in making it feel like it has good value, and if they are mostly b2s that would as well. I’m really hoping we get at least one separatist general figure, but I would absolutely agree that if there’s only two regular minifigs I’d expect them to be the MTTs opposition. 

[Brickwraith]

Well, it seems like the source of the MTT figure count was fake. It was a not well known Instagram account posting a few other rumors they already admitted were wrong, and they have now taken down the post.

Sounds plausible, but I‘d prefer a super tactical droid and some CIS leadership over the CTs

By far the best case scenario would be a set based on the Ryloth arc with Wat Tambor and Cham Syndulla, as some have suggested. They could even sneak in a reference to the arc of the covenant!

I mean so would I but you've seen this wave.

So been thinking about the 327th BP and the UT-AT and I wondered if at any point Lego considered swapping the two around. Giving us an AT-OT with the 327th in and guaranteeing a Bly and then having a galactic marines BP.

It works both ways a new legion either way and a new vehicle. I just wonder with the 327bp if we’ll actually get Bly in it or if he would come in a future set. I don’t know how most of you lot would take it if they put a commander in a BP as he’d probably be pretty plain and not worth much like Vaughn from the Ahsoka bp. 

im not a clone bro, hate clone wars tbh but still like collecting Reoublic stuff so im quite happy with the rumours so far just wondered whether if would have been better to do it the other way round

I would say I think it’s best this way as we have gotten a full size AT-OT before, even if it’s crazy expensive secondhand now. Both vehicles have roughly the same amount of screen time so I’m not sure either of them really deserve a set more than the other. I also think Bacara should have a new helmet mold, which would only have a possibility of happening in a larger set, although we still have to wait and see if he gets that or if it’s just printing. Either way I’m just happy to have every ROTS clone commander!

Don't know if it's been mentioned here but we're gonna get Qui-gon in the magazine.

New moulded pieces appear in sets of all sizes though. Quite a few battlepacks and even Microfighters had them before!  

With all the recent rumours, I wonder how many 2HY sets we still don‘t know about yet. Can‘t be that many, right?

Fair point, for some reason it just felt less likely in smaller set to me.

There's good precedent for new helmets in battle packs specifically, too. The ARF trooper in 2011, ARC trooper in 2012, First Order officer cap in 2016, patrol trooper in 2018, Praetorian Guard in 2019, Imperial commando from just earlier this year, etc., plus 4-LOM's head in 2017, and the macrobinoculars from the 501st BP last year, which is another one that the clone crowd has wanted for a long time. Being in a battle pack definitely does not mean they won't do Bacara justice.

Yeah, I was absolutely wrong in that assertion I just didn’t think it through all the way

[Llewop]

I’m looking forward to the ARC 170 and interceptor coming out still not sure if I want to buy them day 1 for a  £100 combined. 

when are the other sets coming next year? Are we getting a March, May, June, August wave again or have we not had confirmation yet

the sets I remember being rumoured are: a CIS MTT, a Kylo Ren Helmet, a 327th legion large clone pack, a U-wing, a UCS Jango's Slave one, A Jango Fett Helmet, a UT-AT, a buildable Chopper, A buildable K2-SO,a midi scale Kylo's Shuttle, a Juggernaut, a Plo Koon starfighter Microfighter, A Darth Maul Mech, a huge $1000 UCS death star, the SW logo, a large scale AT-ST

I'm sure there has got to be at least one more non-CW/Ep3 minifigure system set but Hmm.
