What do you think of these sets? Let us know in the comments and look out for additional set announcements in the coming days.

The Turbo Tank looks like a great set... for $100. A full $160 is patently ridiculous.

I'm definitely in for Jango's Slave I, this'll work better for me than the UCS, especially alongside Obi-Wan's fighter.

The MTT is accursed as ever for having to follow in the wake of the 2007 rendition, though it isn't bad. Carrying only six battle droids in the front is very lackluster though. The new deco and minifigures are nice.

Star Wars prices make me want to recreate Mace Windu's death scene

By in United States,

I'm old enough to remember when a "wave" had a unified theme to it, like a specific movie or scene. This is one Episode I, two Episode IIIs (sorely lacking, I admit) and a UCS VI.

Also, I wish these were all microfighters.

I generally try and stay away from complaining about price hikes - they're unfortunate but c'est la guerre. That being said, 17.2ppp on the tank is obscene. I fully expected it to have massive single piece wheels at that price. Blimey.

Fun sets though! Definitely picking up that Slave I!

Gravatar
By in United States,

Same old models. Passing on all of them. Bring more of the helmet series.

Gravatar
By in United Kingdom,

Am I the only person weirdly interested by the fact a UCS set is not being released in Spring (near the start of May) or Autumn (around October)? I actually can’t remember the last time that might’ve been the case, so I looked it up and the last time a UCS set was released in peak Summer (I.e. after May but before September) was 2006 - which is the last time a UCS AT-ST was released!

Gravatar
By in United States,

Huh. So we now getting three UCS sets a year?

Gravatar
By in United States,

I haven't laughed that hard in awhile. I'm sorry, but people have been wanting a playset version of Jango Fett's Slave I for two decades, and that's what they get? Makes me feel great about the one I got back in 2002. (EDIT: I'll amend my statement, the ship actually does look good, but from a few angles, it looks ridiculous.)
And both the MTT and Turbo Tank, I mean, that's just way too much money. I love that LEGO is finally making some Clones that have never been made before, but the pricing of the sets they come in are not worth it. I am interested in that MTT, but it's going to be awhile before that price can be justified.

It is actually far more recent, with 75309 Republic Gunship. I much prefer when Ultimate Collector Series sets are launched apart from a whole wave, which makes them feel more special, but I suppose this is inevitable with so many separate waves nowadays.

Props to whoever priced Jango Fett's ship, they deserve a promotion. I'm convinced everyone else in the pricing department is on hard drugs.

The AT-ST look fantastic! The Slave 1 looks good, but the MTT and the Turbo Tank are both grossly overpriced. They look decent though.

EDIT: whoa… I started my comment when there were only three… these 4 little sets are hot!

Gravatar
By in United States,

I am betting both the Turbo Tank and the MTT go on sale close to $100 USD like the gunship did. $160 for each of those just doesn't seem worth it anymore. Turbo tank looks okay, but somehow comically small at the same time.

Gravatar
By in Germany,

Is this the most low-key reveal of a UCS set we’ve had? I don’t remember another one ever just being dropped out of nowhere alongside the rest of a wave.

Well… there is that $1000 Death Star, so, it was kinda going to get overshadowed no matter what.

By in Australia,

Slave I might be the only one of these I get. It’s my favourite ship in all of Star Wars, and it would look great alongside the 2021 version of Boba’s I have. I’d love the UCS one, but given the space I have, this will do after a couple of mods.

I already have the 2007 MTT, which is better in every conceivable way, but this one looks alright. Also don’t have room for the Turbo Tank, and despite some really good figures, I can’t justify replacing the AT-TE on my Clone Wars shelf with it. I might get the unrevealed 327th BP though.

UCS AT-ST looks good, but I was expecting one in the vein of the buildable figures. I don’t collect either though, so that will be another pass.

Prices are unbelievable as well.

ig they wanted to fit in the at-st and slave 1 both before the death star releases in october

By in United Kingdom,

As a 3rd UCS set for the year, I don’t hate an AT-ST remake, but good as it looks, it’s not as dramatically better than the original as I was perhaps expecting and definitely hoping after 20 years. Still, the shaping is certainly a lot better. As for the other sets, I’m not particularly all that interested in the builds, but Lama Su is a must have, as are Bly, Bacara and the Marines as first versions of those characters. I just hope the secondary market is kind on the Marine prices but I fear given just how overpriced their set is, that might be (very) wishful thinking. Sigh. Here’s hoping for a battle pack.

Gravatar
By in Australia,

I think you've made a typo here, you've listed the MTT as a hundred and forty quid, that can't be right.

Gravatar
By in United States,

The repulsorlift sled in the Slave I set functioning as a stand is quite clever—it may be a playset rather than a more expensive display set, but it's still nice to have an option to display it in the more iconic upright flight position—and having a functional vehicle serve that purpose instead of a utilitarian black stand ensures the parts go to a good use if you don't care to display it that way.

Gravatar
By in Italy,

I like the new UCS AT-ST, but I didn't expected it would be priced at 200$.
The previous 10174 (about the same size) was priced 80$. Ok this model is a better model and has more parts (about 40% more, used for derails), but the comparison of the price per parts ratio is pitiless.

It’s hardly a Juggernaut is it.

Love the AT-ST. I have the original UCS set fully boxed and it was one of my favourites when built. But £180 for this new one at 1500 pieces? I’ll wait until it reduces in price.

Gravatar
By in United Kingdom,

The original UCS AT ST was such a good representation of the vehicle that it can only probably be refined from that and that looks like what they’ve done here

Gravatar
By in United States,

Just noticed that the Commando droids are new as well. They look great!

Gravatar
By in United States,

So we get the smallest and and most expensive turbo tank ever sold, then another set with 150 pcs more selling for the same price...? Pop off Disney premium....

Gravatar
By in United States,

To be devil's advocate, the MTT's in The Clone Wars had droids stored upright to allow both the B1 & B2 to ride in it... so the reduced droid capacity compared to The Phantom Menace is actually lore accurate.

Gravatar
By in United States,

Bacara and the Marines look sooooooo silly without kamas. Also lame that we don't get an UT-AT.

At least the secondary market has kamas. :(

Giving us Lama is cool. I like the AT-ST too. Bly is ok. The new pauldron is good.

However, Aayla is cheepo-redundant. There are so many other Jedi we lack- snake-dude, female yoda, etc., etc.

Prices are insane. Won't buy until 30-40% off. Even then, I will drastically reduce purchases because of redundant turbo tank.

Gravatar
By in United States,

YAY! More of The Star Wars!

Why does that MTT have less battle droids? Needs the Mr. Moose treatment.

Gravatar
By in United States,

I would love to get 75413 ... at a steep, STEEP discount

That and they STILL haven't redesigned the commando droid legs

Gravatar
By in United States,

Just happy Jango's Slave 1 is reasonably priced. The only one I'll be getting unless there are some steep discounts.
Turbo Tank chief among them. Love how it's rather small. Just wish the price reflected that.

Gravatar
By in United States,

The AT-ST is a very good model, but overpriced as $200 > $150.

The Jango Fett Slave I is a good companion to the 2021 Boba Fett version, but given how surprisingly overpriced that one felt for $40 with an RRP of $50 despite its high parts count, I'll wait for a 20% discount on this one's $70 RRP.

The MTT looks good but is way too small. I like the picnicking battle droids on the back face of the box. It's a good vehicle to take battle droids to a picnic, but way too small to take them into battle. The price is ridiculous, of course. It should be $100 at most.

The CTT actually looks really good and very playable despite its small size. It should be $80 at most. I hope I can get it for $80 or less without the minifigs and then maybe backfill it with clones from a battle pack or something.

Gravatar
By in United States,

The AT-ST makes my inner child so happy. The original was my first UCS set. I knew I was getting it for Christmas that year and I spent the entire month of December dreaming about Christmas morning.

Kinda makes it hard to decide whether to get this one… I can’t see myself ever parting with 10174 , but do I need TWO AT-STs?

Edit: Yep, I’m gonna need both.

Gravatar
By in United States,

The sets look really good! Ignoring prices at least, but I always get them at discounts anyway. Although I haven't bought a set outside of the occasional discounted battlepack or polybag in a while, and I doubt that will change.

The turbo tank and MTT have pretty good interiors for their size. The MTT carrying six droids is fine to me, especially since it includes the commandos(finally!). Speaking of commandos, I was not expecting them to be pearl dark gray, but looking at the source material, it seems to be more accurate. It's a shame we won't get non brittle parts in dark brown though. Bly also looks good, but as with all clones, needs kamas. I at least like the pauldron piece.

Finally, the Slave I looks great! I was not expecting it to hold Jango and Boba! The minifigures all look great. Although why does Jango have only one gun...?

I assume you meant an Episode II set for Jango? The MTT was brown in I, and I presume you are counting it for III. Regardless your point still stands. I miss them too in a way, but there is so much content to cover it would be hard. They also don't have big theatrical re-releases that often inspired the big themed waves.

And I wouldn't mind seeing a Jango Slave I microfighter, ATST, or MTT. The turbo tank has been already been done(I know Slave I has also, but I would love a cheap Jango).

Gravatar
By in United States,

That Slave I is just... pathetic, man. I really wish they had gone for a recolor of 75243 instead. This ship should never be subject to such a massive downscale, outside of MBS sets like Cloud City. This is something I'd expect to be included in an MBS Kamino, not sold for *seventy dollars* by itself.

At least they got the windscreen color correct, unlike the UCS version. Still plenty of other color inaccuracies, though.

Gravatar
By in United States,

Confused that the V-19 Torrent hasn't been officially revealed with the rest of these; they're in the same catalog...

Going to get the Slave 1 since it's way more swooshable than the UCS one (which I was gifted), though the $20 upcharge from 75312 four years ago (yes, more pieces in the new one, but about the same size) is egregious.

The Revenge of the Sith sets are laughably shrinkflated. Waiting for a price cut before I buy either; I'm disappointed because I missed most of the prequel Jedi minifigs and all of the new ones sans Plo Koon are in over-$100 sets. I know people hated 75206 when it came out for having two named characters in it, but getting two named Jedi in a $20 set is unheard of these days, and I wish we could be so lucky.

Gravatar
By in United States,

AT-ST is trash compared to original UCS model.
Looking forward to the rest... once they're on sale!

EDIT: reading first 200 comments, y'all are crazy thinking chicken walker is an improvement... go find the original!

By in Australia,

I like this wave and I'll pick up that AT-ST, but the prices, ah the prices.

Gravatar
By in United Kingdom,

So we get a CLone Juggernaut which didn't appear on screen with the Galactic Marines and a Felucia MTT which never appeared on Felucia, my Nerd senses are screaming :)
Also these sets seem tiny compared to the previous versions, glad we finally got an episode II Slave 1 though (That's it's name Disney, whether you like it or not)

Gravatar
By in United States,

I look forward to seeing these on clearance. These prices aren't even close to what I'd be okay paying.

Gravatar
By in United States,

The Turbo Tank looks terrible. I'll reserve judgement on the MTT until I can see the Clone Wars reference vehicle. The AT-ST looks great, but I already have 75153 which works really well attacking my city and next to the UCS AT-AT.

Gravatar
By in Jordan,

Solid designs, atrocious prices.

Gravatar
By in United States,

The Clone Turbo Tank is $60 too pricey. The MTT is also probably $60 too pricey, but they could easily get away with selling it for $120, so I'll say it's $40 too pricey.

I think the designs themselves are solid though. I personally prefer the Episode I colors for the Trade Federation vehicles, but it looks nice. Glad to see we're getting a new version of Jango Fett's Slave I too.

Gravatar
By in Germany,

I was taken aback by the price on the Slave I, but comparing it to 75312, I'm almost more concerned that they somehow managed to pump MORE THAN 100 EXTRA PIECES into what was already a very dense model.

Gravatar
By in Turkey,

First thing came to my mind when I saw Jango Fett's Starship was how cool it will look right beside 7144 Slave I. We'll see, day one for me.

Gravatar
By in United States,

Actually, I think the 75413 will make a pretty darn good Space rover if I can get it half price without figs and then backfill it with white Classics or with CS'24 crew.

Gravatar
By in Germany,

I'd buy the MTT and the CTT for a reasonable price, but regarding that, TLG has lost heir minds.
Again, where's my V-19?

Gravatar
By in United States,

Very cool wave, but not for me. I already have the last versions of both Ki-Adi-Mundi and Aayla Secura, and they look just as good as these new ones, so I don't feel like I'm missing out there.

Glad we finally have a substantial Separatist vehicle to go against the onslaught of Republic sets we've been getting lately.

Interesting choice to keep Jango's arm printing exclusive to the bigger set. Wonder why the same didn't apply last time with Rex.

UCS AT-ST does nothing for me. Already have 75153, and I'll stick with that. Cool new minifig, though.

Overall, a really neat wave. Personally though, none of these sets are must-buys for me. As others have mentioned, the prices on the MTT and Turbo Tank are outrageous. Glad I'm not super invested in the Prequels like some people are; saves me money for other sets I really want.

75243 was $120, a newer version would be at least $140 so I’m glad they went down market with something similar to 75312. Yeah I don’t like $70 compared to $50 but it’s not shocking considering the current market. And I prefer the gap between $70 and $300 for those who will never be able to get the UCS set.

Gravatar
By in Puerto Rico,

Okay, I already have a costume Commander Bacara and some Galactic Marines. The tank can be the Imperial version, but no thanks. Nothing for me in this wave again.

It should have been an UT-AT as the GAR developed them due to an incident that caused a natural bridge to collapse under the weight of an AT-TE column, and that applies to the bridges of Mygeeeto.

I think I also have a costume Commander Bly.

Gravatar
By in United States,

I honestly can’t remember the last Star Wars set I bought. With so many other themes at the top of their game, is it possible that too many lackluster releases and terrible pricing has ruined the theme, even with a nice wave like this?

I do regret missing not buying one of the older MTT but this is not what I'm looking for.
To small and the price is to high, Buying a 2nd hand version makes more sense than buying this one

Wow, have I finally gotten to the point where I own every vehicle that I no longer need to buy new sets? Gotta say it’s a huge relief as I’m out of shelf space, and apparently with good reason.

Gravatar
By in Australia,

First Lego set I bought as an adult was the old UCS AT-ST - would've been a year or so after release, AU$50 from a Toys R Us that I can only assume desperately wanted to free up some shelf space, I hadn't thought about Lego since childhood but I couldn't pass that bargain up just as a model. And now most SW Lego I pass on since, even setting the difficult prices aside, I've usually already got one of whatever it is.

I could go for that Slave I though, I've got a larger one in Boba's colours (two actually, but the 20th anniversary one is the one on display) and I wouldn't want a large set that's just a recolour, but that baby Jangomobile, I wouldn't mind adding to the Episode II shelf. If suitably discounted, ball's in your court K-Mart.

Gravatar
By in Germany,

Cool sets with absolutely atrocious pricing. All of these are only remotely buyable at 30% off.

Gravatar
By in United Kingdom,

These look like really nicely designed and detailed sets, that are unfortunately a little smaller, and absolutely overpriced. I haven't bought a star wars set for years but I'd absolutely be tempted by the MTT and Slave 1, but I don't see how I'm ever going to be able to justify them unless they go on serious discount somewhere. It's a shame since they look really nice.

Gravatar
By in Netherlands,

Cool sets, I guess, but I will probably pass on all of them. I have a Turbo Tank and this doesn't feel like an upgrade. Same with the AT-ST, the ones I have are smaller, but do the trick. And you can put minifigs in them! The IT'S-CALLED-THE-SLAVE1-Jango-Fett’s-Starship I don't care about. I've always found it to be somewhat of an ugly ship and don't own any of the variants.
The MTT I might get, but needs to be at least 30% off.

Honestly I really am wondering about the pricing of this stuff. Of course, we want everything to be cheaper, but when you see a Juggernaut on a shelf and think "Wow, that's nice" and then see the price... There will be so many people not buying. € 150,- is unaffordable for many kids (mine would have to save up about 5 years to get there, excluding birthday money) and for many parents € 150,- will be too much for a birthday present as well (I consider a € 120,- present already fairly sizeable).

FOMO and AFOLS only go so far and I think Lego has jumped the shark somewhat. I'm pretty sure Lego will have to do a rethink on Star Wars sets soon. I for one am skipping way more sets than I would even like to. And maybe a Juggernaut needs to cost € 150,- to get it on the market, but then Lego has an even bigger problem (in the Star Wars theme that is, I'd love to have Lego's problems).

Gravatar
By in United States,

Here are my thoughts on the new wave in case anybody would care to hear them,

UCS AT-ST, I don't really care about, but I don't really care about the UCS line as a whole, perhaps with some exceptions (such as the UCS AT-AT, Falcon, and Jango's Slave I released this year, though it will be a loooong time until I get any of those sets, if I do at all)

Turbo Tank is interesting. It is certainly the most tiled off of any Turbo Tanks, which I think is nice. Galactic Marines are very nice minus the lack of waist-capes. I'm glad they tried to give Bacara a unique helmet mold, though I can't get past the gray areas that kind of make him look like a chipmunk. Price isn't that great. Rest of the figures are fine. I don't have any of the other Turbo Tanks as reference, so that's not a problem. There could've been more Galactic Marines, and the interior could've been better, but I'm also content with the amount we got, and I typically don't look at the interiors of sets much anyways, but always nice when they go above and beyond

I'm more interested in the MTT, mostly because it's a new style. It doesn't hold as many droids as the 2007 one, but I might dare to say it's the best looking MTT, which might be a hot take. It's also nice to see Commando droids for the first time in years. Alya's a decent inclusion though idk what's going on with her lips. Price is still a little egregious like the Turbo tank. Could've had more battle droids, but the ones we have are alright. Bly's also good to get. I also don't have any other MTTs to compare to, so my thoughts almost certainly are biased

Then there's the sets I'm most likely to get. Jango's Slave I, while horribly downscaled from prior versions, suits me where I am at life, despite losing some impressive size and detailing, so I'm content with it. Only thing is I wish the seismic charge minifigure head was printed, but other than that, won't offer any complaints. Also, though not officially revealed, I'm quite intrigued about the Hotrod Snowspeeder and the V-19 Torrent. I think those both could make for some very interesting sets

Gravatar
By in France,

Again, I’m a huge LEGO Star Wars fan but am mostly interested into original trilogy content. It seems that I’ll be able to pass on most of this year’s set and save up for retired or future sets.

No no, can't call it Slave 1 anymore, it's now "Jango Fett's Starship"...

Staggered at how much they are charging for the Slave 1 as it is very close to the set bundled in with Betrayal at Cloud City, it was downscaled to be affordable, now it defeats the point.

There is also a trend with Lego to release a UCS and playable set in the same year. Simba, Dalmations etc.

I love Jango’s Ship, the Juggernaut and the MTT, but what on earth is going on with those prices? The Juggernaut and MTT are only just a bit bigger but they’re more than twice the price! It’s ridiculous. I’m going to need a heckin’ good discount even though I’d otherwise classify them all as must-have’s.

The previous 10174 (about the same size) was priced 80$. Ok this model is a better model and has more parts (about 40% more, used for derails), but the comparison of the price per parts ratio is pitiless. "


Well 10174 was 20 years ago and a dollar than is not a dollar now. The 10227 B-Wing had under 1,500 pieces and was priced $200 back in 2012 (although it had larger pieces).

I think Lego renewed the SW license with Disney but the Mouse asked even a larger percentage. The turbo tank’s pricing in an absolute insult. So is the MTT.

Very disappointed in the Slave I, it's the exact same size and basic design as the 2021 version, but somehow with 100 extra parts and $20 more? I remember when a $70 purchase got you a substantive model. I'm very tired of this focus on compact builds with lots of tiny pieces and "details" (which is absurd when the basic shaping looks so much worse than the older, bigger, less "detailed" models)

Ditto for the MTT and turbo tank. Absurd pricing, especially the MTT which only has two actual figures, we all know those droids cost pennies to produce, and they're both absurdly undersized compared to past versions.

The yellow Clone Wars border on the packaging for the three play sets makes this a bit confusing, but for now, my thinking is thus:

75433 Jango Fett's Starship is definitely an Attack of the Clones set.
75435 Battle of Felucia Separatist MTT is classified under The Clone Wars because that is where the blue version of the MTT appears, as do Aayla and Commander Bly in the prologue to the final arc of Star Wars: The Clone Wars.
75413 Republic Juggernaut is the most difficult one because the Galactic Marines are only seen in Revenge of the Sith and I do think this is probably supposed to be a Revenge of the Sith set, but with the Clone Wars border, I cannot be sure. This one is subject to change, but I will get a definitive answer at some point.

I have no idea why they used the Clone Wars branding for 75433 Jango Fett's Starship, but for the other two, I would guess they just wanted them to look cohesive on the shelf together, as sets that could be good companions.

Enjoy this moment clone fans, this could be one of the last big clone wars focused lego wave for a long time. With the release of the new movies, there will definitely not be as many shelf space for them in the future.

I think these are good sets. Obviously they all have room for improvement, but many people have been waiting for these vehicles and characters in lego form for a long time. If price is the main concern for people, then lego has pretty much done everything right. You don't have to rush to the store to buy them on day one, they will be 20-30% off in a few weeks.

Could it be, since Jango is using CW branding, that is a standard branding for this year/wave/something? Or just CW era, and no branding exists for Attack of the Clones/Revenge of the Sith

75413 & 75435 along with 75400 & 75402 from earlier in the year seem to suggest a focus on the Order 66 montage from Revenge of the Sith.
It's also ROTS's 20th birthday this year, so that focus would make sense.

Though I do agree, the Blue MTT is only seen in CW, so might be focus in terms of figures only...

By in United Kingdom,

Interesting to see they're putting out sets based on Order 66; considering we'd never previously had any sets directly based on that scene, I assumed that Lego thought it was too dark to work from, but it seems like that might not be the case anymore...?

I guess you can argue that this year's earlier Plo's microfighter can count as part of that subtheme too; sure it's branded TCW, but it appeared in RotS first, and literally only to get shot down. That means Stass Allie on her BARC Speeder is the only onscreen Jedi casualty from that sequence not represented this year yet; maybe she'll show up in the winter wave?

Actually could be a good excuse to make a new set of Boga, too. Have a fairly small playset of her, Obi, and Cody with his giant canon to shoot them down... it would fit this theming perfectly!

I'm joking, but. It's definitely a curious decision, although it does make some sense considering this year is RotS 20th anniversary and they really haven't ever explored that sequence before. Also interesting to me is that this is the fourth play-scale version of both the Turbo Tank (not counting that the first version got two releases with different Mace minifigures) and the MTT... considering that the former is such a blink-and-you-miss-it vehicle in the movie, I find that a surprising choice to have focused on this many times; but I suppose as one of the only wheeled vehicles in Star Wars it makes for a fairly unique playset in contrast to the abundance of spaceships, so I can see why they like revisiting it.

A dumb argument as far Aayla being a Clone Wars set and not a RoTS, in RoTS she actually is wearing navel jewelry (I don't want to definitively call it a piercing, it looks like it was more glued on as part of the costume; but still very proudly 2005 with Aayla rushing into battle like that). That's a detail though Aayla's Clone Wars design lacked, even in the final episodes, and as such it's the design LEGO Aayla has always more closely followed. Not that I'm sure if LEGO will ever capture that detail on Aayla, I think the Sideshow Collectibles figure might be the only Aayla merchandise that isn't a still photo from RoTS to get the jewelry right.

I like the accidental implication then that in the days or hours that passed between The Clone Wars and Revenge of the Sity, Aayla must have spontaneously stopped at a piercer or some jewelry store on Felucia and she was ready to *slay* droids and be a mid-2000's fashion icon doing it.

Fitting 6 droids to that MTT is straight up so funny that I can't even be mad at how bad it is. :D
Regardless of the small size brought upon by LEGO's never ending drive to make their parts catalogue smaller and smaller, for 100 € I'd be happy to part with my money for it. For 150 € however, make it the size of 7662 or keep dreaming LEGO.

I really hope that this is the year when LEGO Star Wars starts to see some real diminishing returns, but sadly I doubt that it will be the case. After all, the prequel bro armies won't build themselves, not even if they have to pay 150 € per clone commander.

Seriously, how chibi do the flagship 150 € sets of this theme have to get before people start looking over to the next aisle???????????

We're at the point where there's significant overlap in Star Wars stories and it may be cleaner to have era branding rather than media branding. Prequel, OT, and Sequel.

Barc Speeder Escape 75378 is a Mandalorian set that's specifically set during a flashback scene in Episode III. It's a Mando set, except it's totally an Order 66 set.

The Clone Wars is specifically tricky because Episode II was the beginning of the Clone Wars and Episode III was the end. I kind of don't think it matters if the Juggernaut gets CW or ROTS branding if it literally appears in both.

I agree. If it was up to me, I would use branding something like the following:

Prequel Trilogy - Darth Maul or maybe Anakin Skywalker from Revenge of the Sith.
Original Trilogy - Darth Vader.
Sequel Trilogy - Rey or Kylo Ren; probably Rey just to make it more recognisably distinct from the Darth Vader branding.

I think Star Wars: The Clone Wars sets need their own branding because there are some that are very much separate from the movies, so the 332nd Company Clone Trooper makes sense and I would continue giving the other series their own branding too.

If LEGO actually did an "Aayla Secura with accurate RoTS jewelry print" that would be a blatant "Malibu Stacey with a New Hat" move, and to be blunt it would totally work on me. I'd be the sucker first in line for that UCS Order 66 set or whatever nonsense it would show up in.

‘Discount’:

Transitive verb.

1. A deduction on the price or value of goods.

2. The feeling of good value or a bargain being won when deep down the buyer knows they are merely a slave to usually a slightly reasonable price ‘at discount’, to avoid a completely impossible price.

3. A term that drives compulsion to buy 2 of something ‘at discount’ so that one can be sold at full price to decrease the amount spent on the item that is kept.

4. A word that becomes irrelevant or alien when a 6 figure salary is attained.

I see what you mean, but that makes absolutely no sense. Jango Fett was already dead before the start of the Clone Wars, and I’m pretty sure his ship is supposed to be paired with the 2022 Obi-Wans Jedi starfighter, which is why they extended it’s shelf span. What we really needed was a full size Plo Koon starfighter to pair with the ARC 170, and a Vulture Droid to go with the V-19 since Lego hasn’t made one since 2014

Cato Neimoidia also appears in the aforementioned prologue to the Siege of Mandalore arc and a Phase II Clone Pilot wearing the open helmet does appear in season six, so those are not relevant factors either way, in my view.

I am not saying it must be a Star Wars: The Clone Wars set, only that you can rationalise it as being based on The Clone Wars because of the minifigure selection and specifically Odd Ball. Of course, the actual reason they decided to include him is because his helmet is unique and recognisable, so better him than another generic pilot.

It a easy money grab that's for sure.

Thinking on this, I really don't think we'll get a unified wave again until The Mandalorian & Grogu, I think Rise of Skywalker was the last unified releases and everything since then has been random.

No real surprises here but some nice looking sets.
Disappointed that the original Galactic Marine and AT-OT set has been switched to yet another Juggernaut. Have enough of those already.
Also, where are the Kamas for each of the 21st Nova Corps?

Adding £15 to the cost of the Slave 1 is a price hike that makes it an easy pass.

The Separatist AAT is nice though and it would be nice to compare the AT-ST to the original one.

Bit of a mixed bag and not sure if I'll get anything outside of the AT-ST.

Now THAT is the Jango Fett's Starship I was looking for.
Price (even before discounts) is decent enough as well, especially compared to some of the ludicrous other RRPs.

I just placed a pre- order on a dutch websitefor the slave 1 for €55 and the MTT for €120!
I think that’s a great deal!
Is it allowed to drop the site name here?
I have bought many sets there over the years, so it’s reliable.

"Slave I might be the only one of these I get. It’s my favourite ship in all of Star Wars, and it would look great alongside the 2021 version of Boba’s I have. I’d love the UCS one, but given the space I have, this will do after a couple of mods.

I already have the 2007 MTT, which is better in every conceivable way, but this one looks alright. Also don’t have room for the Turbo Tank, and despite some really good figures, I can’t justify replacing the AT-TE on my Clone Wars shelf with it. I might get the unrevealed 327th BP though.

UCS AT-ST looks good, but I was expecting one in the vein of the buildable figures. I don’t collect either though, so that will be another pass.

Prices are unbelievable as well."


You must be low on space if you don’t have room for that tiny Turbo Tank XD
