Starfighter looks nice but very basic, hopefully not more than 20€.

Scythe looks unique, hard to judge it yet from 1 pic, great minifigs mostly. Hopefully priced okay ... :)

I'm not a fan of Brickheads so that set doesn't excite me too much but the other two look amazing. My only issue is with the Grand Inquisitor's head print. Why are his markings grey when they're red in Rebels and look to be red in the new show too. Oh well, it's still a very good looking figure and I can't wait to get them.

Love the Brickheads, Vader is spot on; Obie looks as though an angry beaver has sprung from his chest tho.

I want the Inquisitors Transport Scythe and the Kenobi ship in that order.

Two Star Wars sets revealed? I count three. Was one already announced?

@Huw

A bit out of topic but you must know that (since you often receive the sets before they are announced): do we have to wait until Lego Con to get info about the rest of the Technic line-up or we can expect to have more news in the coming days (June is just around the corner you know).

Yes!!!

Oh boy, that starfighter is brlliant.

Are there many other sets with Kaminoans? I can't think of any.

I'm just looking at the Third Sister minifig and immediately realizing that with a simple hair piece swap, I can have a Second Sister minifig for Jedi Fallen Order!

Preording the scythe today! It is a perfect ship, so much interior!! I love the figs too. May also pick up the starfighter just because I have Anakins. The radar dish on it is a great inclusion!

I love the starfighter (and that Taun We minifig is excellent as well). I don't have any of the previous versions, so I will definitely be picking this up!

The shuttle looks great as well, but due to limited budget and limited space, I'll probably pass.

I'm not really big on Brick Headz in general, but I guess these 2 are fine?

Pretty disappointed with the Reva minifig considering all the others look amazing. No leg printing and another ill-fitting hairpiece used on a licensed female minifigure. If they had the budget to make new molds for this set they should've made a new hair mold for her instead.

The build and the rest of the figures are awesome though, so I'll probably still pick this one up.

Nice, I kind of wanted the first version of Obi Wan's starfighter (7143) but I like this updated design, also nice that it has an OK price. Don't really care for the Taun We figure, although it's nice to have I guess.

3 lego sets not 2

"Love that new(?) Obi-Wan hairpiece."

It's a shame that they didn't use it for the AotC set... The Dastan/Snape hair never looked very accurate.

I'm still wondering if I'll get the Delta. I have 75191 so I really don't need this one. Although I do like Taun We and that Obi-Wan minifig.

Does anyone know if these sets will be exclusive to lego.com, or if they will also be found in other stores?

Wait is the Brickheadz a celebration exclusive?

Added both of these excellent sets to my want list.

Like them all!

I have skipped the article and the comments. No offence, but I am guessing there are some spoilers. Even if its just revealing characters.

"But does he R4 droid have back printing?"

No. You can see in the product 360 spin video on lego.com that there is no back print."

But is the same of the old set, or it has new print?

@Cooliocdawg said:
"The Delta fighter is incredible. Not necessarily the best iteration of the ship, but the Taun We minifigure is wonderful, and the Ep II Obi Wan is one of the best SW figs of recent years."

I'm genuinely curious on which set you'd consider the best iteration of the ship?

Love the Scythe, looks as mean and intimidating as the characters that pilot it

I just rewatched (or watched? This might’ve been the first time I’ve seen the film all in one sitting) Attack of the Clones so this is an amazing coincidence. While the film itself was just okay for the most part imo, getting a Kaminoan as a Minifigure is great and will certainly drive me to get this set, they should’ve used the old taller slope for the legs, though.

Scythe looks pretty dang cool. Looks like it fixes all the issues with the Night Buzzard; has a nice inside and a cool ramp!

The summer Technic sets usually launch in August so I suspect we'll have a while to wait yet."

Thanks. I was on the impression that they were launching in June in Europe and being only available in August in North America - due to apparently different stocking time from toy retailers.

Both ships look great. The Scythe shows what the Night Buzzard could have been. My only complaint is that I think Taun We should have been a mini-doll.

I actually want all three of these.

I'm with several others here-- 7143 is still my favorite rendition of the Jedi Starfighter. Curved slopes had just been invented, and it had the most elegant lines. I even place it above the UCS. The old classic even had folding landing gear (and the UCS does not).

@Renaissance_Ravensly:
Well, if there’s a bright center to the hanger, you’re on the starfighter that it’s farthest from.

@Trigger_:
They didn’t use a slope at all. That’s a minifig skirt element. It actually uses the same connection as minifig legs, so it won’t leave the “legs” behind when you pick up the minifig. You sorta could add plates or bricks to the bottom, but this has radiused corners, where any brick or plate will abruptly transition to sharp corners.

@HOBBES:
I figured that applied more to licensed themes, since I know DC is one that I’ve regularly had to wait another two months for.

In order to get the astromech droid into the Jedi starfighter, you have to decapitate him. I'm actually not surprised since the droids in the movies actually can't fit inside the starfighter without having his legs dangling out the bottom. (Of course, they fudged the CGI so you wouldn't see that.)

@PDelahanty:
On the Naboo Starfighter, the shoulders would punch through the hull unless the droid sits sidesaddle, and even then there’s a collar around the head that would require stretching the neck. Neither of the Jedi Starfighter designs had enough vertical space, and I don’t know if the N1 did either.

I'm not a fan of the Delta-7 TBH. The cockpit sits way too high, probably to allow storing the rest of astromech inside the ship. The Obi-Wan and Taun We minifigs are nice though.

I really like the look of the Inquisitor Shuttle! It seems to have a solid selection of minifigs and a decent price.

The minifigs look good! I probably won't pick up either set, but I may see if I can pick up Taun We or EP II Obi-wan. Although I doubt the printing will be very opaque since they are printing white and tan on brown. The inquisitors look nice, but aside from their hilts they don't interest me. The scythe is a beautiful ship, but not one that will endanger my wallet. That honor will probably go to the AT-TE.

It looks like LEGO raised the price for euros. It was originally €30 and now it’s €34.99

Not sure if they’ve raised it after seeing the hype or if it was always meant to be the higher price.

Woohoo ! These all look great !

I want to love Obi-Wan's starfighter but the flat nose on it looks worse and worse the more I look at it (especially bad in the 360° video on the LEGO shop page). No idea why they designed it like that either considering its overall design is VERY similar to 9498, but that one had a much better nose despite being a 10-year-old set.

In-universe, the Delta-7's accompanying Astromech was fully integrated into the ship and didn't have a complete body. R4 got one later."

Ironically enough she got one to be compatible with the ETA-2, which is the only one of the three ships that really doesn't have enough room for the droid it shows. The N-1 fudged it by saying the droid extends its neck and the delta 7 never had a full droid

They put the head on the astromech droid wrong in the product image.

The "Pointer eye" is on the left instead of the front in the image.

On the actual box its built correctly.

Odd.

I can't say the Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighter is a real improvement over the last one. I feel it does some things better, and some things worse. The nose and the cockpit are a step down. I preferred the use of curved pieces on the last one. But I like the wings one this one better, and how the wings and cockpit transition into the fin in the back. I feel that's done better. I don't care for the big stud shooters though. The smaller ones were sleeker.

At least 39€.

These are great looking sets. New minifigs, new ship designs, all done done well! I'd get this Vader Brickheadz if it weren't in a two pack - he looks fantastic, but although I love Kenobi onscreen, I don't need a Brickheadz of him.

“Obi-Wan Wednesdays” kinda makes me throw up a little when I think about the corporate nature of it.

I’m getting too old I think. :D

@lordofdragonss said:
"A big shame that leaked Minidoll alien was not real then, it looked WAY better"

A missed opportunity to bring peace between minidolls and minifigs; this was an obvious situation when the minidoll would've been aesthetically superior. And we could use more minidoll leg mold options!

@blogzilly:
I was more irked that it sounds better if you call it Obi-Wednesdays.

@Padmewan:
Yarael Poof! This head works for both, but the minidoll body doesn’t. This is probably also more in line with the video game depictions, which predate the minidoll.

Does anybody know if R4 has back printing?

Provided the legs compress a little (which is also necessary for the N-1), droids fit into the Eta-2 just fine.

At least 39€."

LEGO.com USA has them on the site for pre order, 100 USD for the scythe (93€) and 30 USD (28€) for the starfighter.

Ah. Forgive me. I should have added context. Some of the models during the early years of Lego Star Wars were far from sleek, like the very first attempt at an AT-ST or the very first Slave I, but I think other models, such as 7143 - hold up well even to today's standards, at least in the looks department. Not as certain about the stability department"

@Renaissance_Ravensly:
I was just paraphrasing an Ep4 quote for effect. Yes, older models may look less polished, but viewed from the side this doesn’t even look like the same starfighter due to the wonky hump where the cockpit’s located vs the flat, flat, flat nose. It’s supposed to evoke the clean wedge shape of the ISD, but only does so when viewed from above. It may be possible to combine the surface design from this with the cleaner lines of previous attempts to get a really accurate design, but this one is a step backward that’s really only saved by a minifig who never even rode in one.

Why do the boxes in the images from Walmart or other retailers have the age and piece count in a white circle (which looks awful) but the actual sets on the Lego website have the information displayed in the usual way? Both images must originate from Lego so why the difference?

@Doctor_Hugh:
I’ve never seen this myself, so I had to check it out, but I think I know what’s going on. Only a few seem to be affected. For instance, 76202 has the normal print on the box, while 76204 has the white circle version. Back in 2020, the Mexican plant got shut down for at least a month, and the only way to keep shelves stocked in North America was to ship European product over here instead. That info is not printed on EU boxes, but is required over here (plus the barcodes are different), so the only way they could sell EU stock in NA was to slap stickers on everything. I have double copies of a few Batman sets where one is stickered and the other is normal.

These round versions look like they may be more of the same, but with a revised sticker. Where my stickered boxes have all the info printed as it would be on a standard NA box, these look like they were optimized to be free of language barriers. Maybe there are other geographic regions that need or want the piece counts, and this is an easy way to make that possible (especially in small markets where it makes less sense to produce dedicates boxes).

@PurpleDave:
Thanks for the response, although that doesn't actually make sense to me. You say the European version doesn't include the information but the sticker only contains age and piece count. Both of those are on the European version as well as the set number and set name. So the stickered product simply has less information, not more or different.

"My only annoyance is not with LEGO, but with the Empire's insistence of giving out prototype ships to special units. So much waste! It would have been nice to see the Delta Class shuttle, TIE Reaper, or even the Raider Class corvette used. "

Hopefully we get a TIE Reaper with Second Sister minifigure and Ninth Sister Bigfig; maybe Seventh Sister and Eighth Brother figs while they’re at it. Seems more likely than getting Fortress Inquisitorious or Malachor Sith Temple sets.

@Doctor_Hugh:
That’s…my understanding, yes. I guess I haven’t seen them lately, but I remember reading complaints about how North America got that info while Europe did not.

Everything just looks so awesome.
Jedi Starfighter is most definitely a Day 1 buy for me, the Scythe Transport will follow later. The Brickheadz will make a fine addition to my collection, but I will wait and see if I have leftover budget. My main goal for this new wave is the rumored Justifier. The rumored AT-TE is also a possibility, but I will only get if for Commander Cody, and so I will wait to see if Cody comes elsewhere.
