There's a problem on the horizon.

Looks like another LAN member won't be seeing a new horizon that includes free Lego. :(

I know I've stated repeatedly that I'm against more display models. Though I do like the droid, starships, and helmets. I just wish the starships and helmets came with figs, and that they'd do more cool playsets. The ones they do are pretty basic and juniorized.

I think it looks really really good, even brick build head looks pretty perfect, maybe just adding white bars to fill up the eyes would help even more, idk.

Like I said with Chopper,
3PO & R2 are too iconic of a duo to get more large scale droids

Is it a bad thing? I mean if they are stupid enough to share things without considering the consequences... ?? Classic case of "Fork around and find out..." ??

True.

Probably a mistake. A schedules post was scheduled a day too early, I guess.

This is also the one from Rogue One, isn't it?

Regardless, I really like what I see (well, apart from the stickers), and even the price seems not too bad.

Another statue.... :/
WOULD THAT HURT to make legs posable???

Looks like they have photoshopped the mould mark on the printed plaque , as usual. This really should not be allowed. Blatant false advertising.

Oh no, I can’t unsee that now ROFL
I’m probably going to refer to this as Basil now. It’s quicker and easier to say too :-)

I'm finding this theme rather confusing, Chewbacca and C-3P0 were adult 18+ black box sets, but the rest in the theme aren't?

I wish the model came with a kilt.

Is this the pirate droid in Skeleton Crew?

With this type of studded plates the mould mark is on one of the studs and not on the flat surface. "

That mould mark is edited out though, just like all of them just about always are. False advertising for sure, especially these days when they only seem to get more and more visible - in reality, that is.

True although I saw some exposed in the official ‘play’ images of the Jango Fett UCS

My favorite droid! This set would be perfect if it weren't for that awful head. I'm curious to know how the head from 75120 scales with this.

I have the buildable one, don't need this.

I’ve been loving this subtheme of buildable characters, and Chopper and K-2SO keep the trend going. Keep them coming!

Not surprised that the legs aren't bendable with how spindly they are while the build is so top-heavy. The head looks better with natural lighting as opposed to the photoshop shadows, but I still think it's bad. I did get two of the CCBS one, one for assembly and one for parts, so if anyone tests that the old head works on the new body, I already have a spare to use.

Still, it's honestly very shameful that 2/3rds of Lego Star Wars are display sets now. Remember when set waves used to feel big and have lots of options for kids?

The body looks really good, and the head looks really bad. So a Chewbacca situation.

It's good.
It's very good.

Sweet! Another way to get the K-2SO minifig.

Lego erases all the moulding nubs and marks on their advertising pictures, the more when they release a set almost entirely black. I will get it nonetheless.

Buy K-2SO, the captain says you have to.

If this came with an Alan Tudyk soundbrick (and maybe a box to drop in disgust), it would be my favourite SW set in a while. As it is, it's still a must get for me.

Star Wars became another Art/Museum theme, all those statues, buildable lightsabers and helmets and scale models (not including UCS or minifig playsets )

That said, there's clearly a market for those, and I don't really see negative with it, even while I don't collect them.

I mean, it's not like this is new to Star Wars either, models, toys and action figures existed long before LEGO adopted the theme.

Now this I like. This is such a great character.

This has great Iron Giant vibes -- looking forward to seeing someone turn it into a MOC for that : )

I will likely have to pick this up. I haven't watched Andor, but I liked this character in Rogue One.

That’s it. WHERES HIS BLASTED GUN???

Where was the embargo broken?

The shoulder printing on the K-2S0 minifig might be my favorite minifig print of all time.

Also, what Alan Tudyk character are they going to do a buildable figure of next?

No, Rogue One/Andor, but SM-33's design was heavily influenced by K-2SO's

Honestly, disappointed by this. Google a picture of K-2SO, the proportions are all off in some way, the eyes are wrong, and the ridged pose also feels off.

I hadn't originally planned to watch Andor at all, but had recently begun thinking about giving it a shot, and now that I know K-2SO (who's in it, I'll definitely be watching it! Easily my favorite character in the movie. But then, I have a deep and abiding love for Alan Tudyk. Speaking of...

At one point, they said not to submit Firefly projects to ideas, so Wash is probably out (and might be hard to make look good anyway), so King Candy!

@Rimefang
Great point. That's kind of the problem. I love that they're doing things that we'd never get in any other form. I also love that they are making some of the UCS into glorified playsets (Barge and Slave I). But, we need more figs and more things to do with them. These are toys, afterall.

@yellowcastle
Mandr reported it was a LAN member's Insta.

I never really cared for Mandr, but I have to admit he's grown on me. Plus, he's grown up a bit. Yet, his adamant adherence to Clone Trooper apostasy is amusing.

C-3PO tells you the odds of dying because he has anxiety. K-2SO tells you the odds of dying because he's an A-hole."

The hardest I've ever laughed at anything in Star Wars is when he reminds the crew he can survive in space!"

Too good!

Interesting. I too thought it was the same droid in Skeleton Crew.

Don't mention the war!

Nice legs shame about his face

Inferior to the CCBS version, that one not only looks better but is also playable and not just a statue.

"I find that model vague and unconvincing."

Nah, just kidding — I like it! I think the head could've been a little better, and I think that 75120 looked better overall, but this doesn't look bad. I'll probably get it down the road, as K-2SO's one of my favorite droids.

I also echo other comments above that I find the ratio of playsets to display sets disturbing.

@calvin73 :
The Duke of Weaseltown — er, sorry, Weselton.

If these humanoid droids are becoming a series, I just have one question:

HK-47, when...? xD

With some easy modifications I could probably make it into a Jedi Survivor enemy type. Though the body seems a little off proportion wise, but I'm not sure what it is.
