SADLY THIS IS A FALSE RUMOUR. Childish confirmed to me. 

Huh. On Discord, Brick_Clicker said “it should be around $110 for the Death Star set.” I guess we’ll have to wait and see. Still, everything is awesome.

Yeah not entirely false, but the price and amount of figs is wrong.

Interesting to say the least, think I'll need to see pics before I settle on it one way or another...

Not too sure about the MF, feels like they should've rolled with the deleted scenes ROTJ characters on it.

The Falcon and X-Wing/Tie-Fighter sets sound horrible. Also I love the Jedi Bob Starfighter BUT it probably should be a May The 4th promo or Lego Store exclusive set. Like these sets don’t exactly sound like “good sellers.” The Falcon idea is especially horrible like NO ONE asked for it and it could’ve been literally ANYTHING else and SHOULD’VE been literally ANYTHING else!

Oh! Pleasant surprise. Did seem way too many figures. Thanks! 

[Balrogofmorgoth]

So you’re telling me the Venom Falcon is bigger than the Death Star playset? Why

[Legofan2001]

Like considering this is the 25th anniversary of BOTH LSW AND TPM.
I’m gonna be really mad if we don’t get at least 2 of the following characters as figures this year 

ANY Queen Amidala
Padme Amidala (Battle Attire Or Handmaiden)
Sio Bibble
Sabe
Boss Nass 
Nute Gunray
Rune Haako
Shmi

[Agent Kallus]

I suspect the 'Dark' Millennium Falcon set is an Anniversary set with all Anniversary figures.

So called Dark Chewbacca could be Black Krrsantan, Dark Rey is Dark Rey, So called dark C-3po could be Triple Zero, the blue Gungan I'm less sure of but the *bleep* Dark Vader could the one from Star Wars Infinities. But it goes with what people have talked about with the anniversary figures coming from a variety of sources:

D+ for Black Krrsantan, Canon Comics for 0-0-0, Sequel Trilogy for Dark Rey, Non-legends or Canon stories for Infinities Vader, TCW for Fives, the old republic for Malak, etc.

Wait so now the Death Star set is $80? I’m just confused now

Yes it’s not $200

Love this wave- unironically reignited my love for silly LEGO Star Wars. Couple must-buys in here!

Looks like you're going to have to be really mad then.

[EX0]

Dang the death star just gets cheaper and cheaper lol. But I'm good with that, hopefully buying Cal from BL won't be as much as a result. I am very very excited for the ahsoka set though, can't wait to see Enoch!!! Wonder how they will do Morgan's sword though. Also definitely picking up the Jedi Bob set, and not sure if anyone has mentioned it here but Brick Clicker said his starfighter will be red and white!

So lego is once again refusing to make a Boss Nass after 25 years and a Battle Attire Padme 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

[CallumPears]

Bit of speculation here:

With the price of the Sarlacc pit set being triple that of the previous version, could it potentially be a diorama? Could have the skiff over the Sarlacc and have the Sarlacc properly recessed into the ground on a diorama base, unlike previous versions where it's more of a "Sarlacc mound" than a pit. 

[Legofan2001]

Like legit how difficult is it for lego to just MAKE an AAT and include Boss Nass????????

It’s probably not a sphere but a room

Unlikely, the piece count is also doubled from last time, but 500 something isn’t enough for a diorama

Wow that’s surprising. I’m guessing if there’s any other TPM it’s some rendition of duel of the fates then, but that wouldn’t include any character they haven’t done before

That would make a lot of sense and give a theme to the figs which at the moment seem a bit random. Maybe the Gungan is Darth Jar Jar  Not sure I'll pick the set up just to have a MF in black but when/if pics appear it will be interesting to say the least; perhaps the pinnacle of what sounds like a very off the wall wave.

I'm not a big fan of the dioramas but that could work really well. Underground structures are hard to show in lego - the previous Sarlaccs having a big beak that sticks way up in the air - but having the base of the diorama to recess the pit into (perhaps with a bit of forced perspective) could be very effective.

[Llewop]

Everything apart from the Ahsoka set sounds terrible. Different but if we are getting a midi scale falcon in March do they really want a system one in the summer? 
 

it does sound like they are trying to do what they have with the marvel sets and mix it up with the venomozing of random figures and sets. 
 

if it’s true the only positive for me is am going to save so much money. Which I can put towards Barad Dur tower

[Legofan2001]

Okay here’s a serious question why does Lego flatout REFUSE to make any Padme’s that aren’t her Blue and Gray outfit from Tatooine/TCW Dark Red Jumpsuit with Vest?

[Balrogofmorgoth]

Yeah it’s definitely disappointing that they’re doing all this dumb gimmicky stuff when it’s an actual anniversary and TPM has so much that has never been done

Yeah it's a real shame. She has so many great outfits and we've had a total of 4 of them (Queen, Tatooine, ripped Geonosis, TCW) and only the 2 you mentioned were made more than once. The weird thing to me about the Tatooine outfit in particular is that she didn't wear it in any action scenes so I doubt it makes her particularly attractive to kids who want to play with their figures, unlike the purple one in TPM which could fit into basically any Naboo battle set (AAT, droid carrier, flash speeder, etc.).

• 75389: Dark Millennium Falcon
  • $169.99
  • Includes: Dark Rey, White Outfit Vader, Evil C-3PO, Evil Chewbacca, Gungan in a blue outfit, and potentially one more figure

Are we getting a Lego Darth Jar Jar??? What is happening?

Next year’s sets are absolutely insane and I’m very much here for it. (I would like more TPM sets though)

EXACTLY! Battle Attire Padme has literally never been made,she wears it for almost the entire final third,and it fits in SO MANY DIFFERENT SETS! Theed Palace Playset,AAT,MTT,Naboo Royal Starcruiser,Droid Transport,Flash Speeder,Naboo Starfighter,even a DUEL OF THE FATES could include her!

which just sounds insane

 

I have no idea what's happening. I'm going to try to collect my thoughts.

Ngl Star Wars has just got really interesting. What a way to celebrate 25 years, with absolute iconic sets. Iconic in a completely different way I would have ever imagined. 

You have to be applaud the audacity. 

Glad I predicted the Infiltrator and Sarlacc over on Future sets thread over the months and days. 

First off congrats, you were right, infiltrator but no MTT.

Honestly yeah, WHAT IS GOING ON!

UNDERWHELMING!!!! HOW!! I’m a 24 year old man running around excited like a toddler. I’m also hella boring and miserable most the time, too.

I couldn't sit still to read all of it. I'm still more or less bouncing up and down as I type this. WHAT IS HAPPENING?

1 hour ago, BrickBob Studpants said:

This is BY FAR the most out-there wave of sets ever cooked up, and I‘m all for it! THIS is how you make an anniversary memorable

My only complaint (besides the X-Wing/TIE set) is the lack of Acolyte sets. Maybe next year?

The fact that you swap the wings makes it fit for me. If at least one of the figs is pretty desirable (or more likely considering the rest of this wave, absolutely blocking insane), I'll consider it... on par with the others? I don't know exactly how this wave makes me feel besides a pretty heavy respect for lego for having the stones to do this.

I can’t believe how awful this wave is.

"Amazing. Every word of what you just said was wrong. Lego is reborn today, the theme is just beginning, and I will not be the last Jedi Bob."

I feel like this should reasonably be considered a win for TPM fans, the number of sets this year seems higher than what we got for ESB (And ROTJ too? They might be the same)
