Summer Star Wars: The Force Awakens set names revealed
Posted by CapnRex101,
Just2Good has revealed the names of two sets based on Star Wars: The Force Awakens which are scheduled for release this summer, 'Encounter on Jakku' and 'Resistance X-wing'.
I happen to have heard the same two set names already so am confident that they are correct. You can watch Just2Good's video on the subject, which features additional information and speculation, after the break. There are some minor spoilers ahead.
I know that an Unkar Plutt minifigure is planned so would not be at all surprised to see it appear in 'Encounter on Jakku' as Just2Good suggests.

- Clone Turbo Tank
- A-Wing, I believe is a Walmart exclusive
- Anakin Podracer, might be a Spring release, it's a Target exclusive
Another X-Wing?
I will try to complete that list i promise.
^NRG77, hope you are not Bothan :D
Why? :D
Because no want wants our leaker to die. ;)
Oh i'm not a leaker ;)
I'd love to see a Finn in ST armour, with the three lines of blood on the ST helmet!
A blue-and-white X-wing is kind of a no brainer. Here's hoping they'll revise the design to match what's in the movie a little better this time.
Encounter on Jakku sounds like a cloth-and-aliens parts pack. If it ends up including neither of those things it'll be a complete waste.
I'm cool with exclusives as long as it isn't for TRU. I hate that they mark up all their sets 10-15%. Cool to see we're getting a third wave of buildable figures, I love those.
Text. In a video. Smart.
waiting for huge FO Star destroyer set.
I want an Unkar Plutt Minifig!
If there is another Ep7 X-Wing at less cost than Poe Dameron X-Wing I will get it and be thankful I didn't spend $80 on a set if the Resistance model turns up to be cheaper. As for the rest of the sets, not a fan and a good thing also considering that my big spending will be at January and May, anyone know when the SW Battlefront BP are coming?
Just like police stations we need a XWing every year.
It might be a little too soon to expect it but maybe the Resistance X-Wing will be in UCS form.
Well, I guess with these and the rumored Starkiller Base pretty much confirmed, all that's left to make to complete the movie's the Star Destroyer.
I'm curious what the new buildable figures are going to be, but glad we're getting more, regardless! The other two sets sound good, too, though I'm sure many people are going to be frustrated to get another X-Wing, esp. since it's maybe too soon to expect significant improvements on this year's design. I don't mind getting redesigns but it's nice to have some buffer time in between so the designers can approach each new version with plenty of fresh ideas for possible improvements.
Oh cool. I was hoping I wouldn't have to wait too long to fork out way too much money for a T-70 in standard colours. (which in all seriousness, I fully intend to do)
I'm just going to throw out the vain hope that the A-Wing includes Poe's mom, who was an A-Wing pilot. I mean, just make the pilot a generic female pilot in a green suit who even looks like Poe's mom, and I'll be happy. http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Shara_Bey
I hope that encounter on jakuu is based on the opening seen of TFA, but due to the name I'm guessing it's more likely to be the second option. I would love to get a helmet less Poe and a fin with blood stain
Well, there's a large number of things Encounter on Jakku might be. But I really hope the Resistance X-Wing is blue and white and better-shaped than Poe's.
I have the last A-Wing, so that one's a pass, but Ani's Podracer for $25 sounds good.
Clone Turbo Tank had better be better than the last two.
Can't wait for buildable Boba Fett. ;)
Definitely looking forward to the X-wing. I wonder what figures will be in it though.
BUILDABLE BOBA!!!!!!
I imagine that the A-Wing will be a Rebels tie-in with a blue/grey color scheme as seen in the show. Although Poe's mom was a pilot, a comic tie-in would be a bit more obscure.
As far as other TFA sets, I guess that there are a few scenes from Jakku and inside the Starkiller Base that could be cool, but I'd like more than anything to get a larger build of Maz Kanata's castle. The Takodana set that we've seen is very small. Also, some trees and snow could be refreshing in a SW set.
Excited to see the sets, but why did I just watch a video of text? Is that where we've gone? From oral history, to written text, to radio, video, online video, and now, online videos of just text?
Yes, Episode VI A-wing has been done in minifig size and polybag fairly recently. the A-wing listed above is I think another polybag, and given that there was a 2015 A-wing polybag, it's safe to say it will be a Star Wars Rebels R-22 Spearhead, commonly also referred to as an A-Wing, from Phoenix Squadron, in blue and white. Note that this is a different craft to the Return of the Jedi one. The differences are subtle, but they're there.
Hope the constractions include some REBELS! Much like Obi in wave 1, these animated folks seem to transition well. Would love to get Sabine, Kanan, Herra, Zeb, Ezra. . . ok so yeah, REBELS! :D
Hope this new Resistance X-wing is not UCS, but I'm pretty sure Lego doesn't want Poe's X-wing to be obsolete so soon. If I'm going to pay such a costly amount, they should've came up with a design closely accurate to the source material, and they didn't. My biggest issue are the wings when in closed position. Poe's pilot suit is supposed to be red as seen in the movie, but that's a minor detail I can overlook.
People are moaning about the new x-wing... Why???
It won't be another version of Poe's!
It'll be white and blue! (and probably have revised wings) what's not to like?
I hope it's not UCS, however.
I read that A-wing should be a Walmart exclusive. I don't know Walmart, and I think I won't buy in its shops in next months, but does this "exclusive" mean that the set won't be available on Lego.com's shop or Amazon or other online shops? Please save me!
@yuffie
Yes, I think you're right about that. I don't think I'd link such a video to a news article on here, but just reference from whom the leak came. But I vaguely remember Huw getting some stick for that in the past...
I was hoping for a minifig scale classic X-wing (with the new canopy piece). Now if the Resistance X-wing is going to be in minifig scale, there is probably no chance to get one in the next 2 years..
@Henry_D: You do realise that it won't be a revised version of Poe's. It will be a normal white and blue one. That means that you haven't wasted your money, because technically, they are different ships.
Nuruodo, to answer your question, it does not mean it won't be available in lego shops, Lego.com, or Amazon. It just means that Walmart is the only retailer you can get it from. Consider yourself saved!:)
Many Bothans died to bring us this information.
The prices could be also good indicators of what the sets promise.
Any hints?
Another pod racer and A-wing?! Why!? I'm tired of these remakes that are 3-4 years apart. Do something you haven't done for a while, or even ever. Jango's slave I maybe. But hey, a clone turbo tank! Yes! Ive been waiting for one of those.
I'll believe these when I see proof.
nice another clone turbo tank and x-wing
LOL Krollins! Looking forward to these as I haven't really been motivated to get many Star Wars sets lately.
Another Clone Turbo Tank? Why would they make this again?
Doesn't seem to be a lot of newness or variety in these sets. I've got Poe's X-Wing, so the Blue and White version may look good next to it.
The current UCS Red Five Xwing is retiring soon so this new X wing could be a update of this, I would rather it wasn't ucs as would like something new for that range.
UCS Red Five is already retired, at least in the Swedish part of shop @home. Same with the Death Star UCS.
I think/hope the X-wing is the one we see at the beginning of the movie on Jakku. If that's true, there's a chance that set will contain a Finn-with-blood-on-helmet minifigure, as the Encounter on Jakku set will most likely represent the scenes with Finn and Rey.
Maybe this new x-wing is just a microfighter...
@fabiano: Not really, because there already is a Resistance X-wing microfighter.
Guess it's time to buy my first pod racer!
Is this the same A-wing that has the number 75143? I thought it was going to be an exclusive to go along with Kanan's Speeder Bike and the Homing Spider Droid in the Jan 2016 releases. Guess not, but if it is that one, it seems out of place.
I'm interested to know what the next line of buildable figures will be. I'm hoping for a Darth Maul and Boba Fett. I could see them doing a Qui Gonn, Dooku, ROTS Anakin, ESB Luke, Han Solo, or maybe even a Lando in his ROTJ disguise. I have my doubts they'll do any more TFA figures, but you never know.
