Most clone army builders want 3 as all armies can be divided by 3, from squad being 9 troopers, platoon at 36 to battallion at 576 and legion at 9216.

The overwhelming majority of people who buy battle packs do not remotely care for such things. Why would Lego cater to a fraction of a minority instead of giving kids a neat jet pack figure that can “fly”? Is an officer cooler than that to a seven year old?

I would have bought the justifier at 50% off. In my region the discounts were minimal on this set. Win some lose I guess.

Same here. I would have snatched it ip for $100 but I never saw it for less than $140... I like the set but sheesh. 

As far as the price changes go, I'll reserve judgement until we actually get a look at the sets.

Well, stormtrooper battlepacks do make sense to have 4 stormtroopers because we, and kids, very often see them in the movies and shows patrolling in squads of 4.

Exactly. In the end they’re kids. It’s nice to have some specialised units that the kids can spend on their special missions during play.

 

I’m regretting that I talked about me having had enough of clone battle-packs due to the poor reception they get. Sorry I started a comment war.

Do we have any idea what the build for the battle of Peridea is? I'd love an imperial LAAT/le patrol craft/gunship.

It probably isn't that though, otherwise they'd have called it the imperial patrol craft not the battle of Peridea. The night sister tower or statues would be cool too but small at this price point (especially considering the 'star wars tax')

I would assume it's not the Noti pods because it doesn't include any Noti.

I would prefer it if they saved the Patrol Gunship for an imperial army builder set with generic stormtroopers or shocktroopers.
 

My honest prediction for the Battle on Peridia is that it’s going to be the rune stones at the top of the tower and a buildable wolf. Maybe with a under-chamber with the holomap. (As then Thrawn and Enoch would make sense.)

Yep, i expect something like this as well The top of the tower is most likely i guess.

I believe LAAT/le is a set for the next year.

Just give us the night troopers and death troopers(zombies)

Indeed! The fact none of them are included in the Battle of Peridea set makes a BP next year pretty likely  Can‘t imagine them skipping that! 3 Night troopers and 1 Death trooper would be excellent

Source on this? Really hope it's true as I've wanted an Imperial Dropship ever since Rebels S1 came out but this is the first I've heard of it being a possibility. 

[Lego Nostalgia]

I wonder if Lego will make the Deathtrooper figure with the actual zombie mouth ? They've made a lot of zombies before so hopefully but idk. It seems Lego again is slow at revealing the Droideka,Diorama and TIE interceptor, why do they always take so long when they come out next month .......

I think he's just got poor phrasing there and is trying to say he HOPES it'll be a set next year- as far as I know there haven't been any 2025 rumors yet, and this would be insanely early.

I mean i believe Lego will not miss the opportunity to make a set with the army of Thrawn. LAAT/le is a pretty safe choice for Lego because they already made one LAAT/le back in 2014

Nah. We’ve been waiting for one based off Rebels for almost a decade now. A Security gunship with 7th fleet stormtroopers (printed pauldron) is the way to go. However I would also love it if the did one based off peridia but with a normal stormtrooper battlepack coinciding with it.

Just out of interest, who do you guys think is the most obscure imperial officer (or trooper) who has a good chance of being in the Death-Star playset?

I agree, I was just making clear to the guy that it was something you were hoping would happen and not something you had info on. People saying "boy I hope we get this" on eurobricks has a tendency to turn into people on instagram claiming the set leaked.

Lego used to be pretty good about making generic characters based on actual extras, but it's not exactly something they do anymore. 

I guess in terms of named characters I'd put my money on Sloane being re-used for the set. But the only thing I'm hoping for in terms of named officers is Tarkin.

What about Yularen? Great chance to get him in his ISB outfit and had a little cameo in Andor. Tarkin tbh is almost certainly going to be in it, I can’t see him not being in it

[Kaijumeister]

The Battle of Peridea’s piece count isn’t terribly far off from the Takodana and Scarif sets from 2016-17, so a decent facsimile of the Dathomiri fortress seems likely. Agree that a henge build would be really cool as well, given  that’s where Ahsoka duels Morgan.

I’m really excited to see the Mandalorian Bunker and Imperial Supercommando Battle Pack. From a build point of view we know to expect ‘small grey location’, but the minifigures will hopefully be phenomenal. Would love it if Paz gets a complete revamp.

Tagge or Motti are the obvious picks. For a slightly more obscure one, maybe General Romodi since he also has a brief appearance in Rogue One.

I think Motti's the best bet, since you can roleplay him being choked by Vader (and in general that scene is very memorable, being the first display of the Force). 

My overall minifigure prediction for the Death Star is Vader, Tarkin, Motti, a Navy Officer, 2 Death Star Troopers, a Death Star Gunner, Luke and Han in Stormtrooper disguise, and Leia - plus the known Cal Kestis, of course.

Yeah, I could see that with Lego’s laziness recently. But if we did get Sloane again I would hope that it would be her grand admiral variant. Or at least, if they use the same uniform, have a new female officer cap with hair bun mould.

Yularen would be great to get. However unlikely as he was an exclusive May 4th promo in 2015. I still would love it if they did give us Yularen.

Also an excellent suggestion. Once again I would love to see any of these imperial army and Navy commanders. And I could see them having a decent chance of happening. Tagge and Motti more than Romodi.

That is a pretty good prediction, I think it will end up being something like that but with one less figure (ideally Leia). Lego could kill two birds with one stone by making Han and Luke double as the stormtroopers for the set. As TBH a Death Star set without Stormtroopers would be weird and feel devoid of a proper garrison.

Hopefully we get something with the Night Troopers sooner rather than later. I'd hate for Lego to hold off on them until the Heir to the Empire film comes out.

They would probably just go with a regular Deathtrooper minifigure with a zombie head replacing the human one. I don't think they would do anything complicated like a broken helmet mold exposing the face beneath it.

Agreed. For that matter, I hope all the Night Troopers we get have xombie heads underneath(assuming we get some in the bear future).

As much as I would love the Battle of Peridea to be a LAAT/le or Noti hut, it is probably the henge at the top of the nightsister tower.

As for the Mandalorian bunker set, I would fully expect Paz to be the exact same figure but with a different build for his weapon, especially because the set is already going to include brand new figures for armored Moff Gideon and the Praetorian guards.

[Yperio_Bricks]

Since every Night Trooper is unique in that they have different damages to the armor, different red stripes of fabric, different gold inlays etc, I wonder how Lego would/could handle this. Every minifig in a potential Night Trooper battlepack would need exclusive printing, no?

It’s kind of the reason why I’m leaning more against not wanting them in a set. I‘m more desperate for other imperial battlepacks that we could have. 

the night troopers look cool in the show but they are right at the bottom, back of the queue for any kind of appearance in a set/ battle pack.

They’ll just have a black head like the old stormtroopers. Marrok never saw his face and he was the same as the night troopers and just had a black head so the night troopers would be the same. Until they show in the show/films what’s under their helmets what they look like they’ll always just have plain head.

i would prefer an LAAT over a location but given how we are in a good year for LSW why not hope for both :)

with the Death Star set I had originally hoped we would have less named characters and more generic troopers/officers but if this really is the equivalent to Yavin well then I feel like it’s going the other way and we will have loads of named characters and maybe one/two generic troopers. Don’t know if that’ll be good or bad there’s pros and cons to both just hoping to hear more info soon on all these

It‘s the complete opposite for me  Now that we‘re getting the armoured commandos / beskar troopers in the June BP, the idea of a night trooper BP has ascended to my #1 spot  I don‘t want a BP of figures I already have 20+ copies of

[Flawless Cowboy]

Yeah people have enough access to generic stormtroopers. I think it’s important to note that most people don’t need/want more than a handful of copies of the same figure.
