40623 Battle of Endor Heroes revealed!
Posted by TheBrickPal,
A new BrickHeadz set, 40623 Battle of Endor Heroes, has been revealed on LEGO.com! However, it does not appear to be listed on the site worldwide just yet, for some reason.
The set celebrates the 40th anniversary of Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi and features five characters: Luke Skywalker, R2-D2, Lando Calrissian, Wicket and Princess Leia. It contains 549 pieces and will retail for £39.99, $39.99 or €39.99 when it releases May 1st.

I know what date it is, but I hope this is real because it’s one of the few Brickheadz products I actually quite like the look of.

It is real, don't worry! :-)
I mean, all the characters look true to form, good price, good set if you like this theme. Although R2's head looks weird to me, just not used to seeing it blocky

It’s still the 31st in Hawaii so I know we’re not being fooled, instead we’re just being disappointed by an Ewok set I have no interest in.
Please Lego, wake up and smell the Caravan of Courage and Battle for Endor.
I love it! Now they need to make some Clone Wars/RotS ones and I'll be sure to buy those, especially if there's a Captain Rex somewhere.

Considering the fact that the leaked images of this set have been floating around for over a week now, it doesn't appear to be an April's fools joke.

I actually made a few custom ones myself, including a phase one Rex

I improved Rex since, but 40623 looks awesome!
Ah yes, ROTJ Leia and Lando, totally not two variants they haven’t made Minifigures of in forever.
Probably a terrible idea I just came up with in the moment but Brickheadz might sell even better if they came with a Minifigure of the represented character, as well. They could like double the price and I’m sure they’d still sell.
At least I don't feel a need to get this for my Endor collection. Not bad, but honestly; Brickheadz.
Set 2: Han, Chewie, 3P0, and...2 Ewoks?

I’ll swap you one Ewok for Nein Nunb
The others are nice, but I'll be getting this set just for Artoo. Speaking of which, I wonder if he has an unusual "brain" like the Creeper and Homer Simpson.
Love how Leia's accessory is a cookie for Wicket
Look at the balls of steel on that Jedi!!
Is the price right? £39.99 and €39.99?
Seems like somewhat of an odd choice of character's to me.....
No Han? SERIOUSLY?
What do I care, I'm not even a Star Wars fan anymore...
Good April Fool's.
Ha-Ha, April's fools!
Um, I was wanting the Millennium Falcon.
Want want want !
Luke’s got a beer gut that’s pushing his rodeo belt buckle into an awkward position.

You mean, after this set, “another” Captain Rex. :)
The OG heroes....
This is one of my favorite Brickheadz sets ever, except 40 dollars is a lot to pay for one set in the theme, espicially seeing I only buy one or two brickheadz a year. Lando and Artoo are my favorites.
Its real

Yep! I saw a picture taken in-stores of this set (amongst two others) on thebrickfan - another fan media outlet, and I can confirm that this is legit. Strange though that this announcement comes on April fools day though.
Nice prank bro!
We all know the REAL protagonist of Star Wars was Rey Palpa ... er ... Skywalker all along.
April Fools!
I like Lando and the ewok
Would've sprung for a Luke/R2 double pack, none of the other characters interest me enough to spend £40 sadly.
I like it! Alas, I haven’t been getting the Brickheadz for the most part, and now if I got this I’d feel bad about having missed out on others I liked. But I do think it’s a cool mix of Rebel heroes - not everyone who could be here, as one could include Han, Chewie, Teebo, Logray, Rex, Ackbar, Wedge, or any number of other characters, but this is a nice mix, with heroes representing all three fronts of the climactic battle - the ground fight on the Forest Moon herself, the space battle above that world, and Luke’s personal trial against Vader and the Emperor on the Death Star.
I will literal cry if this is an April Fool's.... SO AMAZING!

You can still like the older stuff and not be a fan of the new stuff.
If this is AprIL Fools joke, be sad, looks like great set...

Nice MOCs. Speaking of Rex, they should do an add-on to 40623 with a Nik Sant Brickheadz...

Ok, it's a bit of a stretch, but I'm seeing an easy alternative build for one "Nik Sant" using parts from Leia and R2, and we all know who Nik really is....
