LEGO Star Wars 327th Star Corps Battle Pack and V-19 Torrent Starfighter revealed!

Mmmmm, more trans yellow cockpit.

I no longer collect Lego Star Wars, thanks for pricing me out, Lego! It's getting ridiculous. 45 for that battle back is absolutely insane for a tiny plastic TOY

V-19 looks awesome, and the Battlepack looks good, but it's the more egregiously overpriced of the two. I've only bought one set this year now, and I got it at Kohl's with $15 off... I've been priced out of my favorite hobby

I find it odd that Droids are being arrested on the back of the boxes now... and high-fiving... and putting arms back on each other.

Also the curved lightsaber hilt isn't drum-lacquered? I was incredibly disappointed as a kid when Lego dropped chrome and just produced flat grey hilts in the 2000s. At least they aren't lying in the renders anymore, where they'd include chromed pieces in place of pearl or flat plastic colours....

Doesn’t that, arguably, make it not good? If something gets in the way of your purchase, that makes it it’s biggest flaw, because you would’ve bought it pre-discount otherwise

Holy sh!t, these prices are starting to look like the Lego Star Wars line is for those 33 American billionaires getting a tax break!

The droids putting their arms in the air is so funny. I'm really glad whoever came up with that idea was allowed to include it, very cute

Too bad we didn't get dual-molded legs for Kenobi or Ventress :/

Yep. My son and I quit buying Lego SW because it's not just expensive, its reached a point where I would feel like a fool to pay the amounts asked for what you get. It's honestly insulting.

What, no comments about the new rangefinder piece?

Everyone who buys these at MSRP is telling LEGO these prices are acceptable ;)

There it is! But man, you can't buy withot at least 30% discount =(

The $45 Battle Pack is even more egregious when you realize that they completely removed the Felucia side build from the preliminary images.

And yikes, that V-19 is tiny for the price, even with amazing minifigures.

I mean more that the price is the only issue I see with it. The builds look good, better than previous iterations of those vehicles. The price is not good, but the set itself is. It means I want it, but I'm not willing to pay that price.

I love that it exists, but the V-19 torrent should really have a translucent black canopy.

I've completely fallen out of love with LEGO Star Wars for this exact reason. Not just ridiculously priced sets, but ridiculously priced custom minifigures and ridiculously priced aftermarket values as well. Not to mention my family hasn't had Disney+ since 2021 and we didn't get it again until just recently, so I've basically been completely out of the loop of EVERY Star Wars project in recent history.

At this point the only thing that can get me back is 104th Wolfpack Troopers. But of course battle packs are probably gonna be like $50 by the time LEGO gets around to those.

Every LEGO fan seriously needs to google the definition of "boycott."

I follow your same line of thought.

guys sorry that V-19 looks atrocious.... The shrunken scale clearly messed with their ability to render a minifig scale ship; Cockpit wayy too big for example; The prices are even more insulting when what you get is so small, as the designs have become so parts dense - this one is 100 pieces more than the old one, less than half the size, and 30% more expensive. They need to return to a slightly less detailed/parts dense, larger ship scale to make anything under the UCS ships begin to feel worth the money.

Remember when battlepacks could be had for a tenner? I miss those days. That said, I do like the spider droid in 75431. And even though it's expensive, I'm tempted to pick up 75432. For one thing, I don't have a Ventress, and the only V-19 I have is 8031.

LEGO raises prices on star wars sets:

“These prices are ridiculous, I’m still going to buy these on release because I like the minifigures, but next time they raise the prices I’m out”

Next time LEGO raises prices:

“OK, I’ll just buy these to complete my cone trooper collection. but I swear this is the last time!”

Lego raises prices again:

(Repeat)

Finally a proper Phase I clone pilot minifig! Only took 23 years

I'll certainly be getting the V-19, and probably the battle pack too. The V-19 is one of my favourite Star Wars starfigthers. I've been fascinated with it since I first watched the Clone Wars.

Sorry, that V-19 looks dinky. The Clone Pilot and Obi-Wan minifigures look great, though. That might just be the best Obi-Wan minifig we’ve ever gotten.

The 327th battle pack is cool, but too gosh darn expensive. Needless to say I’ll be abstaining from these sets thanks to those prices; there’s too many other sets from other themes that I want.

All I have to say is that we should be set on Clones for a while (even though I know that’s not going to be the case ;)

No. No, I don't believe this. I've *seen* Revenge of the Sith, surely I'd remember if there had been a bright yellow walker in it.

The bottom line of the pricing debacle is that of this wave of 7 sets, I was interested in 5 of them. If prices were reasonable, or even 2022 levels of unreasonable, I probably would have bought all 5.

But they aren’t, and as such, the turbo tank, the ATT and the battle pack are off my radar unless they end up at a substantial discount of 40% or more (which they won’t because Lego Star Wars Fans will pay anything to get their hands on the new Clone commander) and The Slave I and Torrent are only on my radar at a 20% discount. It’s a real shame man.

Too blinded by the pricing to notice.

It was talked about more in May when it was first introduced with Jango Fett.

Wow, I didn't realize how bad the proportions on the V-19 were until just now with these photos of the parked mode... I just picked up a Micro Galaxy Squadron toy of the ship in preparation, which feels like a mistake since it just made me way less hyped for the set, especially at that price. In terms of the canopy, the 2008 TCW version was often shown with a golden canopy, while the 2003 CWMMP version very distinctly had a black canopy. I might buy a trans-black copy of the canopy off of PAB to swap out for nostalgia, but the livery between the two versions of the ship are slightly different, so it'd require a bit more work to fit for Battle of Muunilinst nostalgia.

The battle pack price is absurd. Assuming we count droids as minifigs, the Galactic Civil War pack from last year was $5 cheaper with more substantial builds, and the Clone Wars pack from last year had the same number of clones and SBDs but also had two B1s on top of it for $15 less, though with somewhat simpler builds. Just the four clones, the walker, and the stud shooter would have been $20 in line with previous four-fig battle packs, and you can't convince me the three supers and the dwarf spider droid are worth $25. Even if you wanted to say the clone side is $25 because the walker is a bit more substantial than recent battle pack builds, despite being smaller than previous iterations, the droid side is still nowhere near worth $20. $13 at the absolute maximum, and even then I'd consider it on par with inflated Lego prices. No deal at $45.

$45 is outrageously gobsmacking

I never liked the V-19 design, and shrinking it down makes it look even uglier. The Obi-Wan figure is the best part. And at last... an accurate Phase I Clone Pilot!!!!!!

I might get the 327th BP to add to my Clone Wars shelf... but only at a super heavy discount or something. I just don't understand how 75372 was released last year, had two extra Battle Droids and cost $15 less with just 30 fewer pieces? I hope Amazon puts it on sale quickly! Right now would be ideal!

I was kinda excited for the V-19, but something about it just looks really odd to me...

Ooh, a new trans-yellow windscreen and some black barrels! Those better show up on PaB later this year.

The battle pack is ok as a battle pack, but too bad it's saddled with Hoopty/X-jet pricing. Like the 75413 CTT and (to a slightly lesser extent) the MTT, it's literally twice as expensive as it should be.

An extraordinary stupidly priced battle pack and another remake crappier than the original
After the other announcements yesterday, goodbye Lego Star Wars, it's been a good run
I'll be back when there's a sale/LEGO ever comes to their senses

No more excuses. New molds, recolours etc don’t cost *that* much. They even took away the terrain build that was in the prelim images of the battle pack. This is price gouging, plain and simple.

I’m glad to see a lot of people are finally coming to their senses. Lego’s pricing has got out of control. Even if you go back and adjust old sets for inflation, the increases are outpacing inflation. Most of these sets are 10-20% overpriced. Quit buying day one and let Lego be a bunch of shelf warmers until they drop their prices

but 2 battle packs were only £10 made them perfect for collecting armies plus you got 8 figures and two builds, they may have made less profit on each pack but im sure they made up for it on sheer number of sales.

plus that torrent is terrible, really feel like we are just getting ripped of now with Lego star wars especially considering how good some of the alternative lines are such as ideas creator etc.

personally ive cut my purchases down hugely now its just to expensive and poor value.

Well sure, it's easy to make that case after LEGO already managed to convince you minifigs are $5 and droids are $3 (they're really not).

The pricing on the new Star Wars sets might be the straw that breaks the dewback's back for me.

"Dad, when did you finally stop collecting Lego Star Wars?"

"July 2, my boy, July 2. It was the prices, the chibi juggernaut and the piss-coloured windows that finally broke the spell".

Nah, not actually stopping, but I definitely don't buy anywhere near the volume I used to, and won't get any of this. Their model selections are so RANDOM. Pick a damn theme.

I'm so happy for all of these boys, girls, boys, any young fans, girls, any fans, any girls, all boys and up to several young fans. Thank you for your maximum effort, ChatGPT.

Of course, I'm also happy for Blacktron-builders, of course. It goes without saying (because it went without saying).

TWO CAN PLAY IT THIS WAY.

30-40 percent discount for these. Not until then.

'Platoon,' is 'a unit of thirty to forty soldiers typically commanded by a lieutenant and forming part of a company.'

So, that'd be about $350-450 to follow Lego's suggestion. They have gone insane. I still get all the sets, but wait until they're deep discounted. This may change to avoiding them altogether. Long gone are the days of calling my local store and reserving the whole wave on Day 1.

The Torrent is almost ridiculously chibi. The old one 7674 is so nice and tall that it has to go on a special shelf in my collection. This new may never make it. Ventress needed dual-molded legs and a couple pupils.

I like the yellow AT-RT, the Star Corps, General Kenobi, and the new pilot. I just wish I didn't feel like such a sucker for collecting this stuff. :(

If you bought a set in that time - YOU are part of the problem!

And the ones telling "I'll buy it at a discount" - yeah, do that, LEGO does not mind.
If you buy a set on discount - the merchant pays the difference for you.
So buying a discounted set gives LEGO the full price and damages the merchant.
The higher the discount the more you kill the merchant by minimizing his income from a sold set. LEGO already got their money."

You are also telling the merchant what you are willing to pay for LEGO, and that might prompt them into (i) paying less in future if they can negotiate a better deal or (ii) stop stocking LEGO.

I know it’s a tired thing to say at this point, but it’s more true than ever: these are outrageously overpriced. I like much of this wave and would probably be buying most of it were it priced sensibly, but it’s not. The turbo tank and the battle pack are just robbery, plain and simple. If the clones were accurate and well-made, I might see it differently. But they’re not, between the helmet holes, missing camos, bad helmet prints and everything else. Even the pilot has a really shoddy print on his helmet, the stripe should extend to the back. The fact it doesn’t can only be attributed to TLG choosing it not to, I refuse to believe they “can’t” print that properly.

Still no critical article at all on BS about the silent but absurd price increases of late. That really is worth a deepdive and a critical note. Especially SW.

TLG would do well to read the comments under this article and actually heed them. Maybe they’ll sell enough of these particular sets to justify these prices to themselves, but if they keep alienating their core fanbase and buyers, eventually they won’t, and by that point it will be too late. I could certainly buy these sets if I chose to, thanks to a fortunate financial situation, but I choose not to. This is where I draw the line and decide my money is better spent elsewhere. TLG is so far out of touch with reality it blows my mind frankly. They’ve let their love of money twist them and corrupt them until now… now they have became the very thing they swore to destroy. They’re not just not with us, at this point they’re against us. To misquote Padme: TLG, you’re going down a path I can’t follow.

at this point, does not this ridiculous price increase merit some kind of article in specialliced sites? some lego reviewer, "content creator" or whatever at least TALKING about them in some serious manner? yes, lego has always being expensive. yes, it's somehow a luxury brand. but more and more people are being priced out of the hobby in favor of those "adult collectors" with disposable money that came into it during around the pandemic as a fad and/or an investment. how long can this bubble be sustained before it bursts?

Like many others, I have cut back my purchasing of LEGO Star Wars sets, for the two most obvious reasons:

1. The scaling is so bad now. LEGO are trying to make everything smaller. Figures regularly lay down in an SW starfighter cockpit nowadays rather than properly sit in it, as the models are being made to a much smaller scale. They just don't look very good, and the V-19 above is the latest example of that. There are exceptions (the last TIE Fighter was decent), but overall the scaling is just bad. Most vehicles just look too chunky nowadays.
2. Pricing. Not only are LEGO making the models, and therefore the piece count, smaller, they are jacking the prices up. Collecting LEGO Star Wars has never been cheap, but it's just crazy now.

Upshot is I buy a lot less as the quality has decreased whilst the price has gone up. Sets like these are nowhere near a "must buy" for me anymore.

Nice Kenobi minifig. But I still like much better my older version of the V19! Those tri folding wings, linked to the retractable landing gear activated with 2 transclear pistons is a marvel of Lego design to me, still today. Along with Dune Ornithopter.

They read their balance sheets. That gives them information on what is selling, much more than comments on a fan site where the members are self-selecting. LEGO knows where to get its performance data from.

Personally, I don't buy much LEGO for myself any more. I don't think it is very good value based on what I have paid in the past. But then I remember the pre-2015 prices, I remember the smaller sets at lower price points and I remember every (non-exclusive) set being available at 30% off, and frequently being available at 50% off, occasionally at 75% off and I remember the good old Tesco misprices and the John Lewis price match. Importantly, I also have enough LEGO to last me a lifetime, so only really need to buy new minifigures if they are characters I never had or want to update and any newly designed parts to be able to keep up with modern building times. My memory is of cheap LEGO and I don't need to buy much. Why would LEGO listen to me?

LEGO has a different customer base to 10+ years ago. LEGO wasn't that popular until about 2015, and The LEGO Movie was about the start of the new era. Before then, it was a toy, just a regular toy for many kids. Nothing really that special and definitely not for adults. Of course there were AFOLs back then, but LEGO wasn't really for adults. It was a time it was easier to say you were buying a City, Star Wars or LOTR set for a kid rather than saying it was for yourself. Pretty much every set I bought was 30% or more off RRP, mainly because other people didn't want it so demand was low. I thought nothing of buying huge Amazon boxes filled with small LOTR sets such as Wizard Battle for £5 each set or Uruk-Hai Army for £12 as nobody else wanted them and I could use them as bulk bricks and army building. I bought multiples of The Lonely Mountain at £50 as few people wanted them and stores wanted to clear their shelves. There weren't many AFOLs and many LOTR fans weren't into LEGO. Star Wars battle packs were cheap as supply was high and demand was low.

Roll forward to now, LEGO is Adults Welcome, LEGO is an Adult hobby, LEGO is a collectable, LEGO is an investment, LEGO is everywhere, many cities have LEGO conventions multiple times a year and they are packed. LEGO appears to sell at RRP. Older retired LEGO sells at well above RRP. Just 20% off seems a good deal and stores will now sell out at that discount. Long gone are the regular 30% discounts, let alone the 50% or 75% discounts. LEGO is cool now. Many people have LEGO displayed in their house or at work. People talk openly about LEGO. Very different to just a decade ago.

I've been into LEGO for decades, as have many brickset members. Other adults have been into LEGO for a couple of years. The latter are probably much more important to LEGO than the former, because they (i) outnumber long term fans and (ii) are not reminded of pricing and discounts from the past. I think that is something longer term fans forget, we might think we are important as we have been fans for ages and will probably still be fans long after others have moved on to the next thing. But right now, LEGO's core market is the people willing to pay high prices for the current offer

catastrophically small and bad sets, atrocious pricing, who are Lego trying to fool here?

Remember when battle packs were $15? It was less than 5 years ago.

"Maybe if I give into my mugger's demands -this one last time-, he'll finally back off, or maybe demand less money next time?"

Lego has cured my FOMO for me. I migh be an outlier, but I happen to live in walking distance to a toy store and me and the kid like to go and look a the Lego sets. Yet, we hardly buy anything, because there is usually nothing Star Wars (or Speed Champions or Jurassic World) that is pick-up-able where a discount doesn't matter as much. From the around 40-something Star Wars sets this year, only two qualify. A € 20,- battlepack and a € 15,- mech. Not counting polybags of course. For all the other SW sets we wait for discounts. 25% minimum for sets I really want, more for sets I'm on the fence about. Not enough discount, no sale.
There are two sets in this wave I like and two I sort of like. None are day one buys or pick-ups-while-we-are-here-anyway. Those are the sets I miss. € 10,- sets with a nice little build and some minifigs. Could also be 12 or 15, but they are hardly there. Presents for other kids are never Star Wars.

I've branched out to City vehicles to scratch the itch somewhat.

@CapnRex101 Article ideas:
1. Compare PPP or some other metric between themes. Would be interested in seeing if LSW is really that bad compared to, say, Marvel or Disney to look into corporate cousins, or HP or JP. Compare that against non-licensed themes.
2. Compare "value" by stacking old and new versions of sets against each other. Show various improvements (or drawbacks) over the years to see where the investment is going.
3. Something diving into the types of pieces we're getting for our money: does the increased piece count and decreased average piece size balance out? What other changes are we seeing over time regarding piece quality or special features, like prints, finishes, etc.?

"Remember when battle packs were $15? It was less than 5 years ago.
"

Yes in 2020 they did two battle packs with 4 figures and about 90 parts for $15.

In 2022, they did a choice of a $15 pack with 3 figures and 54 pieces or a $20 set with 4 figures and 89 parts. So $35 three years ago got you 7 figures and 143 parts. $35 then is about $38 now.

Now in 2025, they do a set with 7 figures and about 230 parts for $45. If we go for the magic 10c PPP, the extra ~80 parts will be $8. Add that to the $38, and you are at $46 and so pretty much in line with 2022 pricing.

Even taking the 2020 packs data, scaling 1.75 sets = 7 figures and 150 parts which would cost $26.25 in 2020 or $32.90 in today's money after inflation. You still then need to add another $8 for the extra part count bringing it to $41. So this $45 set is about 10% more in terms of cost compared to what a 2020 scaled up battle pack would cost today. It is even closer if you take the 80 parts to have $8 value in 2020, as that is about $10 now (alternatively, use 12.5c per part instead of 10c).

The $45 looks high compared to $15, but the sets are not really directly comparable without adjustment - it has almost double the figures and more than double the parts. And $1 buying power then is about $1.25 now. It is just a sign of the times that smaller sets are disappearing in favour of bigger ones.

If you really want to see pricing increasing, microfighters appear to be worse depending on when you compare.

In 2014-21, you got approx 80-90 pieces and a figure for $10. Pretty constant throughout that time. There were some bigger sets, but they had similar price ratios per microfighter/character.

2022 gave us another $10 / 1 figure plus 80-90 parts.
2023 gave us the same character plus 80-90 parts plus "baby Yoda" (at the time) for $16!
2023 also gave us another $10 / 1 figure plus 80-90 parts.

There is an example of cashing in on the popularity of the Disney show, $6 difference for a Grogu.

But always costing $10 for similar sets from 2014-23 shows LEGO was trying to stick to that price point despite inflation over that whole period being ~30%.

2023 $10 80-90 pieces plus a figure 75344
2024 $13 80-90 pieces plus a figure 75391
2025 $15 80-90 pieces plus a figure 75400

Two years, 50% increase. It looks off. It's more than inflation over two years. But compare it to 2014, 11 years, still 'only' 50% increase. Doesn't look quite so bad. Maybe they were making less and less profit on them as time went on and suddenly decided to adjust the costs.

Sorry to be repetitive, but I wanted to make a comment to improve any chance (even in the slightest) of getting feedback to LEGO - $45 for battle pack is absurd. You have priced me out of this theme.

65 for that tiny Torrent is completely absurd

Break it down and it's only $5 too high. Wait for that Amazon 20% off and it's great.
- 4 minifigs with weapons (even include the stud shooter/mortar), $5 bucks each.
$20usd
- Large battle droid. That's a polybag type build.
$5usd
- Mech. For the size, easily a $10.
$10usd
- 3 Super Battle-droid figures. Individually like $2 bucks each. Round down to $5 for all 3.
$5usd.

Add it up, $40usd bucks. Just $5usd off.

I know we have exchanged comments about this before and I acknowledge this should be addressed, but it is difficult to know what there actually is to say about the pricing situation. While we could publish an article decrying how quickly prices have risen for many sets, I am honestly not sure what purpose that would serve beyond perhaps being cathartic.

I have a few ideas for more substantive articles regarding prices, but again, it is a hard topic and one we will probably never have a comprehensive understanding of as fans. However, if readers have specific ideas for what topics they wish to see addressed, I would be interested to hear them and can try and contact people within The LEGO Group if necessary.

One thing I can say is that Fan Media are absolutely reporting back the criticisms of prices and that these comments are almost certainly being read, but as others have already said, the company will be most influenced by the numbers, ultimately."

I could stand a good catharsis.

I think such an article would be fascinating. Especially, if it addressed historical inflation and Lego prices. For the benefit of BS, it would be incredible clickbait.

The worst year in our era (21-22) was 8%. During my childhood it was much, much worse. Inflation for 77-92 averaged 8.8% every year for fifteen years!!

The worst part about the new V-19 is that they completely got rid of the awesome synchronous wing & landing gear mechanism from 7674 . I just don't understand TLG's design priorities these days. There was zero reason to completely gut that play feature, even with the massive downsizing. Having to fold the wings down manually is just sad. Surely they could've come up with something better.

Pricing that would put a Jawa to shame.

@lost_scotsman:
People who only build sets generally don’t understand how quickly the piece count can rack up, or how much set designers have to compromise their designs to keep piece counts as low as they do.

@LSWFan:
40450 is a model of Earhart’s red Vega 5B. Everyone complained that it should have been “minifig scale” when images first popped up. Then I ran across an image of her standing on the port wheel spat. I can’t find that specific image right now, but here’s one where she’s leaning against the same spat:

https://www.thisdayinaviation.com/20-may-1932-2/amelia-earhart-with-lockheed-vega-5b-nr7952-at-culmore-north-ireland-21-may-1932/

If you figure a minifig (5 bricks tall) as representing a 6’ tall person, that puts “minifig scale” at 1 foot per stud (coincidentally, the scale used by another MichLUG member to model Detroit skyscrapers). Earhart’s plane is within a single stud of being perfectly in scale with the minifig’s height. The real plane seats six passengers, plus the pilot, and the model seems incapable of seating even one. The perception that SW sets are now too small comes from over a decade of massively oversized sets being accepted as “minifig scale”.

@Bagelwolf:
Save some time. JP/JW is going to have the worst numbers because of the large, sculpted dinosaurs. They’re not useful for any other theme, and they won’t sell nearly enough to use up the projected lifespan of the molds, so they have to cover a much larger share of the mold production costs.
