Some of these are great, Kylo Ren's helmet looks good, and as a lonely fan of the BrickHeadz I think the flight suit Luke looks great. Glad I got the original U-Wing when I did because it is in my opinion one of the best Lego Star Wars sets, but while this is smaller it is cheaper and has some decent figures.

The eyes of those Sith Brickheads look bloodshot from too little sleep and too much caffeine!

I'm only getting the Chopper, I quite like Chopper. Not getting it day one though, I'd rather have the discount further along (aiming for 30%) than the GWP. I like the training GWP, but not worth spending that much on lego.com for full price.

The Kylo Ren ship will depend very much on how deep the discount will be. It is a very cool ship and I really like the scene where Kylo arrives with it on that one planet (can't remember the name, the one where the bug-eyed lady's castle get demolished). But that price... I got the last minifig scale one and I believe I paid about the same for that. Bonkers indeed, it looks very small.

Chopper! and the U-Wing for me.
I'm still on the fence about the Star Wars logo

The caffeine is strong with this one!

"Overall, this is an awesome-looking wave, covering lots of different aspects of the franchise. I would've liked some Sequel Trilogy sets with minifigs again, but this is at least a start! Also, I'll bet that @KyloBen1012 is happy right now! ;)"

Its me! Not sure if that's intentional or an accidental @ing. I like the sets overall. Still think Lego misses the mark with playsets. In this wave there's technically only 1 playset and then the promo I guess counts as one. When I was a kid it was mostly just playsets, with builds and minifigs, but now it's all subthemes, with helmets, logos, brickheads "

I agree. I miss the days of a whole wave of playsets, and then an occasional UCS set here or there. I like the subthemes, but playsets are my favorite, and LEGO seems to forget that AFOL's display playsets, too!

@Klontjes: The planet was called Takodana.

@Alia_of_AGL: "Every word of what you just said....was right." LEGO's always late to the game with anniversaries and the like. One need only think of last year's Sail Barge, which should have definitely been a 2023 set. And yes, playscale TFA sets would've been ideal.

I think the gwp is great. Good addition to the Jango Slave Ship.

Words I never thought I would say--

That Palpatine is totes adorbs.

it looks like the images for the u-wing (the ones with the kid playing with it) use the old hair piece from 75338.

That elaborate stash box is cool, as is Chopper. Me lo compro. Wheee!

I saw "Buildable Chopper", and hoped for One Piece.....but nope :-(

You're not human, you're just a pod.

The GWPs are fine, pretty good, not bad, just not super great.

Chopper looks good. The U-Wing looks ridiculous (reminds me of some sort of unnecessary utensil for a barbecue grill).

Don't really care that much about Kylo's ship (they should've done the dreadnought or command ship). The sign is laughable. The helmets are nice. Good to see the K2SO fig back.

Yet, I am so over the moon, excited, thrilled, and motivated to buy.... the pencil case!!!!!

he has that hairpiece in all the lifestyle pictures. Wonder if LEGO didn't see his season 2 haircut until late in the game

Most of these are just sad.
Except the brick heads, those look surprisingly good.

Hmm. And how does it compare to the shadow box version?

I don't think there is enough SW I need to hit the $160 threshold. The Logo is pretty neat. I think they did a better job with this one than the Marvel one. But to not include any figures is odd. I guess most would be so common that it would only raise the price without adding anything to it.

I'll have to think if I really want to add in sets I don't care about to hit the $160. I likely don't need that GWP either, so it probably is a cow's opinion.

Won't get anything of these because:
- I'm not into brickheadz
- Occasionally I like Star Wars sets, but I don't see what I could build otherwise from their pieces
- 70 euro for 386 pieces is really ridiculous, even the Star Wars Logo has more value for money
- Why would I want to buy a logo set?

I only have a handful of Lego Star Wars sets but I'll probably get the Logo as that will fit rather nicely with my huge collection of Yoda, Darth Vader, R2-D2 and C-3PO.
I guess that means I'll get a Millennium Falcon too..... whatever that is!

I wasn't expecting to need much here but I'm tempted by Chopper.

Easy pass on all of it (unless or until the STAR WARS logo drops to $40).

I’ll pick up this second U-Wing for that price. I missed K2SO the first time, and I think he’s the only Rogue One character I’m missing. Maybe that pilot guy that has the temperament of a chihuahua. Was he avail at all? I can’t remember.

Anyway, gotta collect Slave 1, also! Just don’t know where I’m going to put it. I already have the other UCS Slave-1 on display, and across from it is a tiny Sandcrawler. Maybe it’s just time to move the Sandcrawler.

Nothing is of interest to me, not even the GWP only a bit.

"Nice to see Dark Helmet get a Brickheadz! oh wait, that's the emperor? Nevermind. (the Luke pilot one actually seems pretty decent)

So Kylo Ren shuttle - big black letter V - only $70.... OR! Star Wars Logo, all 8 letters included and nearly double the piece count - $70. "

Both of these made me chuckle.

According to the Lego site the keyring does come with orders of the UCS set

How tall is Chopper do you think? Will it pair better with the older R2 unit or the newer smaller version? It looks like the older is about 12.5 inches, the newer is about 9.5 inches.

Star wars logo looks like a perfect gift for nerds. I suspect this might be a big retail hit. I mean, afols hate such sets, but girlfriends and wifes love to gift them.

I wanted to say the same thing, it does mention a coin you can redeem for that number of points

The U-wing looks incredible. A must buy for me.

Love that logo, definite buy for me.

- Love Andor. Must have all Andor sets. U-wing Yes!
- Love helmets; gotta have ‘em all. 2 big Yes’s! (and yes, Jango looks like a Boba recolour. I like Mando helmets and 3 is better than 2 so bring the recolours on!)
- Love midi-ships. See helmet bullet above. Big Yes’s!
- Love SW Brickheadz. Double Yes!
- Looking forward to GWP
That should be good for a few weeks! Yay!

Man just let people buy the GWP sets. Gotta do the whole "Order for the right amount and send everything back except GWP" again. :eyeroll:

I wouldn't buy one, but I'd be delighted if someone gave it to me!

"I saw the Millennium Falcon polybag at the store, but I skipped it because of the lack of printing for the cockpit. Recent TIE fighter polybags have had a printed piece, so it's puzzling that they couldn't do the same. "

I grabbed two copies, and built one. However, having the model physically in hand where I can look at it from different angles than the photos, the proportions are off. Like in a really awkward, attention-grabbing way. I think the cockpit is too elongated and/or pushed too far forward, and the bridge section that connects it to the main hull looks emaciated. I thought maybe they would have cribbed one of the Microfighter designs, but they apparently decided those looked too realistic.

Can’t wait to get Chopper! I might have to actually place on order this year for the 4th. Too bad the GWP are lame.

This must be the best Lego Star Wars release reveal I have seen for many years.
Super excited for the new helmets.

I quite like the look of C1-10P - and I've always had a lot of fun building droids, so I'm sure I'll pick that up. And I'm a fan of BrickHeadz so both of those sets appeal to me as well. However, I'm not sure that I'm so interested in this year's May 4th GWP that I feel the need to get them on day 1. The Phantom Menace set of BrickHeadz ended up getting reduced towards the end of the year, so I might just wait - especially as it provides an affordable option on my Christmas list.

I do like the look of Jango's helmet, however given my limited shelf space and the fact that I can't imagine the build experience being much different to Boba Fett's, I'll probably skip that unless I see it at a too-good-to-pass-up-price.

When I first saw the RotS BrickHeadz, I thought "day one purchase." But the more I look at them, the less I like them. Not a fan of Anakin's hair and no scar on his eye is pretty unacceptable (especially when Kylo Ren got a printed piece). The other human characters are...good...but very plain. I was happy that Palpatine could pass for original trilogy emperor, but on second thought his dark red outfit would have been more interesting and fit with the RotS theme. Grievous is probably my favorite, but even he really pushes the limit of the BrickHeadz format.
All that said, I will definitely be getting pilot Luke.

Kamino Traning Facility is probably the perfect GWP, not necessarily one that everyone wants to buy separately but still a great set with SPLENDID minifigures. I mean, how many SW figs get both dual molded legs and arm printing?

The U-Wing is a definite for me, especially at a reasonable price for a SW set. I also can’t resist the Andor series, so that would look great in the collection.

Chopper looks pretty cute as well, and it’s nice to see the Sequels get a bit of love again. Kylo’s Shuttle looks like a really good display piece but I am not getting it at that price.

Have no interest in the logo though. I find it’s lack of minifigures disturbing.

I just bought 30708 at Walmart earlier today, and have no interest in 40765, so this'll be one May the Fourth I skip. As for the non-GWP sets, I like the touch of the swappable eyes on Anakin in 40796 that I hadn't noticed until @BabuBrick pointed them out, and if that Grievous were a standalone set, I'd definitely get it. I like 75416 too, but I'm fast running out of display space and haven't yet ppicked up 75379, so I'll probably pass on the little psychopath.

"BTW, could somebody please tell me what vehicle is supposed to be included in the clone cadet set? I don't understand what it is "

It might be inspired by the "Clone Cadets" episode of The Clone Wars, or by something we see during the Kamino portion of Ep2, or just something that someone made up after watching those scenes. Whatever the case, it's supposed to be Clonetroopers-in-training, and some of the equipment they train on.

Okay, I gotta say that it bugs the heck out of me that they used a plate for the top of Mace Windu's head.

@geomomoto said:
"Can't believe we've got that Padmé outfit in BrickHeadz form first rather than in a minifigure. Padmé needs to be represented more in minifigure form!"

It reminds me of when we got 75529 before we got a proper minifigure.

Why is it not healthy? It is a reflection that many sets are bought by adults or adults and there is enough on shelves for kids to have bought for them.

I'm only interested in the logo... and at a discount, of course. I think my Star Wars Dark Ages have already begun... my wallet is happy.

It should pair with the Newer R2D2, C3PO and Chewbacca all being roughly the same scale, the old R2 will be too tall

All of these are pretty great! I'll probably pick up Chopper at some point!

such a neat GWP, but that threshold…

What a joke lego have bacame. Normal actually fun set is gwp...

I'm surprised there are no SW Minifig with the Logo...adding a unique minifig(s) easily would have boosted sales of the set.

The Keychain is a VIP gift with purchase if you buy the Slave 1, says so on the slave 1 Lego Email that they sent me. But this is the Australia Lego store website. So maybe it is different for each country?

I hadn't thought of that, but you are also absolutely right. That should have been tiles.

Some hit and misses here. That RotS Brickheadz pack looks amazing. The U wing looks good and has good figures until you compare it to 75155. The helmets look really great and I'm glad they brought this collection back. As well as the shuttle. And the GWP really is awesome the main thing people will want are definitely those cadets. This is probably the only set they will ever be one as well.

I think the cadet might show up in the Advent calendar.

As for the logo, I think I will buy the Lepin version that spells STAR WNRS
;-)

wwho are these logo sets for, real life NPCs? are people really that Brand™ brainrotted?

@CapnRex101:
Looking at the May 4th promo page, the keychain pictured in this article is the GWP that goes with the new UCS Involuntary Intern I. It is _not_ supposed to be available in the VIP Rewards Center. Instead, there is an Involuntary Intern I "coin" w/ stand (like the duck, Space logo, etc. from last year) that will be up for points, which is not presently pictured here, but which can be found on the LEGO.com promo page. It's a bit annoying, since I want both, but can't spring for the set at launch (and always save older sets to qualify for the May 4th GWP anyways). Hopefully I can snag one of the keychains pretty quickly, and doubly hopefully they aren't very popular so the price stays low.

I've was reading through the review of the Lepin SSD (https://brickset.com/article/29578/review-lepin-super-star-destroyer), and that cracked me up. Star Wieners!

Im pretty sure ive seen the Millenium Falcon Polybag sold in stores for 4€ normally here in Germany

Chopper is the best one, don't have to think twice.

Why is it not healthy? It is a reflection that many sets are bought by adults or adults and there is enough on shelves for kids to have bought for them."

Because I think the minifigures are the most interesting and collectible in the SW theme. I buy SW sets because of them, and I think most collectors do too. Adult or kid. There are very few non-UCS sets that people buy for the build or the spaceship alone. These decoration sets for adults take up too much space from normal Lego sets. For example, only one Andor set again, only one Skeleton Crew set, Ahsoka sets 2 years after the premiere, they completely skipped the 20th anniversary of Episode 2, no original triology set for this year etc."

There are two complementary subsets of LSW AFOLs. One will buy the set and sell off the model to keep the minifigs, and the other will buy the set and sell off the minifigs to keep the model. Alternately, they'll each buy the unwanted parts from the other group. Especially when you get into the sets that come with plaques, whether UCS or otherwise, it's pretty rare that the set is even scaled to work with minifigs. Even when sets are clearly intended to accomodate minifigs, there's always the goofy stature, which some people want nothing to do with.

If I had a massive Star Wars setup, as some people do, I'd probably think a Star Wars logo would be a cool addition to it. If you think that makes me a "brainrotted" "NPC" then you're welcome to get over it.

Wait...Non Player Characters? Or is it supposed to mean something else?

Slave I, SW logo & U-wing all day 1 purchases - I think they look great. The new Slave I will replace the previous UCS version on display and my shelves will be enhanced by the logo.

I'm feeling a bit brain-rotty so perhaps a couple copies of each.

Mace Windu's forehead's almost transparent.
