The Plo Koon is a definite improvement on the last version, but it's still not absolutely there for me. I'd have liked it to be a regular printed head with some pieces for the mask and head, like the two-piece Vader helmet. But fabulous that it's in such a tiny set. You know what you're getting with a Microfighter too.

Really, LEGO? You're going to make me buy one of those stupid mechs in order to get a cheap Darth Maul who isn't grinning like an idiot?

The answer's still no, Griff. For now....

Waitwaitwait... WHERE is my V-19?

Hoping Lego do more Andor sets, perhaps Lego will do a Bix and Imperial Officer set?

Maul Mech.

Heh.

Is there a suitable body for the droid head somewhere?

Which droid would it be?

Plo Koon minifig looks awesome. The Night Trooper BP is also great, the Death Trooper look amazing but I can't get over the Family guy Stormtroopers.

I just don't see the hype about Plo Koon. It's great to get him after more than a decade, but I don't see any improvement. It's just new.

Another Master Jedi in my collection.

When will be the big sets revealed?

I don't mind the mechs. I am curious if anyone's tried building some 2x2 brick sized heads for the mechs to replace the minifigures so you can effectively have a full robot that's independent of the minifig.

Neat for what they are but they are incredibly overpriced.

It would be cool to have a separate piece for the mask, but at this scale it would probably be very fragile to attach. Either that or they would need to make the head bigger. Overall I’m happy with the new head mold. It doesn’t look like the last one which was super rubbery

It has: The teal stripe.

What I wonder is if the build that comes in the night trooper battle pack is symmetrical on both sides. The one side clearly can hold two troopers, but can the other side hold two or just one?

Please keep the microfighters coming, even if they have slowed to an IV drip compared to the stream of 6 per year when they first came out.

Is that Battle Pack a reference to the first canonical descendant of 7667?

Meh, only the Night and Death Trooper BP.

This would explain why I haven't seen them before.

Oh no, it's no trouble! Sit back, strap yourselves in, we're going to be here for a looong time."

I'm good, thanks."

I mean, it was fully his choice to take on the role of the villain in LEGO Masters S4…

@Brickalili:
What? They got rid of the rotating waist?

@RaiderOfTheLostBrick:
Wait…the zombie Stormtroopers? Is that really what’s in this set? Well, that’s one more cold body for my Hunger. Still got to get the movie Minecraft zombies, too.

It's going to be so bad to see the set prices. I'm unfortunately expecting the BP to be 25 dollars, which is way too much.

Whoops, I think I might actually be buying a Star Wars set this wave...! For the first time in close to two decades... but Plo has long been my favourite of the minor prequel-era Jedi, and him coming along in a cheap (ish) set - and not only that, right after I've been getting more interested in microfighters by building some of the previous ones in stud.io?

I've never had a delta-7 in Lego (except for 4487, which barely counts) either, despite liking that style of ship ever since Attack of the Clones, so that's another point in its favour for me. I'd make a couple of modifications to it if I do get it, of course - mostly removing those massive stud-shooters, but also replacing Plo's blue lightsaber blade with orange like he had in Jedi Power Battles, the first place I got attached to the character - but it definitely hits all the right beats to appeal to me!

...except for the price. It's kinda hard to swallow that a tiny little vehicle like this costs as much as a full Bionicle Titan back in the day. I know inflation is a thing, but my understanding of value is still stuck in 2004 money, and e.g. 8622 Nidhiki feels like getting more for what you pay than a microfighter does...

Still, like to get it sometime, though!

I should have been clearer. I meant a ship that we haven't gotten as a Microfighter.

Don't care about the Ahsoka battle pack (I would if it were Rogue One Death Troopers), and don't care about the Darth Maul Mech (I like Mechs, but am not a Darth Maul fan).

But that Plo Koon Microfighter.... I'll definitely be getting that! Plo Koon is one of the only minor CW/Prequel Jedi that I actually like, and this new minifigure looks fantastic! Definitely an improvement over the original mold. The Microfighter looks decent, too, and I'm excited that they included R7-D4's head (hoping he shows up full-body in another set down the road with non-stylized printing).

Looks like Maul mech is built along the lines of 75370 and the other Star Wars mechs which never had rotating waists

Yeah, there’s a butt shot on the back of the box (to show how you can stow his gear), and I don’t even recognize the part that his back is built around. It clearly goes all the way down to the tailbone, though, and if the back doesn’t rotate, the front doesn’t either.

This Plo Koon Starfighter set is PERFECT for the cutest ever re-creation of Order 66.

I wish Plo Koon would be a bit more expensive and came with a complete droid

That's better than what I thought, but still overpriced.

This is the mech I was looking for! Awesome. Just please please please make a Jar Jar mech. And a Yoda mech and a chewy mech and a Leia mech and on and on and on. Re-mech the Galaxy!

I am also not spending $23 on a 4 minifig battle pack, especially with 1 of those minifigs struggling to dress correctly in the morning."

It'll be $15.99 in six months. That's a blink of an eye in the life of a StyleCounselor. Let them rot. I can wait.

The Night Bus dropship is silly, but I like it. ;)

For anyone wondering, in Europe microfighter and mech are both 14,99 €, battle pack is 19,99 €.

I feel like the maul should have been a two set with Obi.

Said it before and I'll say it again. Olivia should be the first one.

When actually every other theme receives an entire new playfield of sets and one of their most successful and longest running themes receives: a Microfighter, a Mech and a Battle Pack. Oh and don’t forget the new additions for the helmets collection or the starship collection..

Is it just me or does anyone else also miss some playsets? At least to me that’s the spirit of Lego since the 80s and in particular for Lego SW since 1999.

I'll buy an Aunt Beru mech wielding a moisture vaporator and a gallon of blue milk.

Seriously, only ONE Microfighter per year now? What's PK supposed to fight against, for anyone who doesn't have the older MF's that have never been reissued or revisited?

I LOVE Microfighters, they're the only thing SW I still collect, but FERDALOVEOPETE either give 'em some love or put 'em out of their misery.

Yeah but still. There were six released a year for the first three years of the theme. They haven't given us a two-pack in three years!

There will be a few more playsets in August. Droid transporter, clone turbo tank, V-19 torrent, smaller Jango Slave 1, new clone battlepack, and an RTG snowspeeder.

I'm very happy about the new Plo Koon figure, it would be nice if Lego would surprise us with a new or upgraded character every year in these "cheaper" sets.

The Battlepack is good too, a bit late unfortunately. But I guess there will be a role for the zombie soldiers in future Ahsoka seasons.

Delighted to see a new Microfighter, especially with Plo Koon, happy to see a new mech, thrilled to see the kintsugi stormtroopers in a more accessible kit.

Only if it includes a sad puppy battlepack.
