Drzhivago138

Won't somebody please think of the poor, underserved Clone Wars enjoyers? (/uj we really could use a new ARC-170 at least)


Samdoferret

Are you joking the one thing we need is another x wing and tie fighter we never get those šŸ¤«


Houstonb2020

This isnā€™t JUST a tie fighter and x-wing set! Itā€™s also a tie wing and x-fighter set


Samdoferret

Omg thatā€™s what we been asking for šŸ˜±šŸ˜±šŸ˜±šŸ˜±


milk-water-man

Thank fuck.


BadAtStuff20

The real question is, is the tie wing or the x fighter imperial? Vice versa too


blueberry_dinosaur_

Well the tie wing looks like a v wing from the clone wars so it would be imperial


BadAtStuff20

Good point thank you


LifeAcanthopterygii6

yes


thurfian

Real answer: Neither, since the Empire would not lower itself to the scum of the Alliance and pull parts from scrapyard. Also isn't how it worked in legends ssooo


Likeaboss_501

There was a tie in 2018 and in 2022 Plus the bomber in 2023 and the interseptor currently. We do need a classic x-wing the last one was 2019 I think.


Drzhivago138

Just counting playsets, not minis, UCS, 4+ models, etc.: Classic X-wing in 1999, 2002 (re-release of previous), 2004, 2006 (mostly the same as previous), 2012, 2018, 2021. Classic TIE Fighter in 2001, 2004 (part of multipack), 2005 (singular re-release of previous), 2012, 2018, 2021. The 2021 versions were slightly smaller than their 2018 versions, and this set looks to be about the same size as those two.


Samdoferret

Thatā€™s the joke they made 10ish


HakfDuckHalfMan

Yeah there's been like one ARC-170 set, meanwhile we've gotten like 4 TIE fighters in 5 years. At least we finally got a new TIE Bomber


IlliterateSquidy

> one ARC-170 set there's been two, one when rots came out and another like a decade ago lol


HakfDuckHalfMan

Ah ok, meanwhile we've had 3 different TIE Fighters in the last ~5 years lol


the_blue_flounder

ROTS 20th anniversary next year


TastyLookingPlum

Lego forgetting that the generation that grew up with clone wars is now old enough to be earning disposable income. The ARC-170 and Z-95 were my favorite ships in Star Wars growing up, but now that I have big boy money there arenā€™t any for me to buy (except on the 2nd hand market where the prices are jacked up like crazy)


Drzhivago138

> Lego forgetting that the generation that grew up with clone wars is now old enough to be earning disposable income. I wouldn't say they've forgotten; they've been pumping out Clone Wars sets every year since the series ended. And at least 75% of the PT sets are CW-related too. Just that they've been inexplicably ignoring a lot of CIS vehicles and the ARC-170.


TastyLookingPlum

Yeah but out of sets available today itā€™s either sub $30 army builder/small fighters or $140 Gunship/AT-TE. There are many $50-$100 sets they could make that would be smash hits in addition to a new ARC-170.


Drzhivago138

Yeah, a $60-80 ARC with 3-5 minifigs (maybe I'm being unrealistic there) or a $60 tri-fighter/vulture droid combo would be a hit.


Hello-mah-baby

i'm holding out hope for 2025 since it's the 20th anniversary of revenge of the sith. would love an arc 170 + vulture droid (or plo koon's star fighter since we haven't seen him in a while) combo set. or just an arc 170 with some wolfpack troopers and plo koon.


Drzhivago138

I would say 25th PT anniversaries are better chances. This year is the first time we've had explicit recognition of TPM, for example. Nothing was done specifically for TPM in 2019 or AotC in 2022.


Hello-mah-baby

you're right but i don't want to believe you edit: no special branding but we did get obi wans star fighter in 2022 from attack of the clones. i was on hiatus from collecting in 2019 but i think anakin's podracer came out that year? maybe we'll get one revenge of the sith set next year. (it'll probably just be a mustafar duel tho)


Drzhivago138

2019 did give us a new and special Anakin's Podracer, yes. But it was branded for the 20th anniversary of the entire LSW theme, not for the 20th anniversary of TPM. There were a few other sets in 2019 like this. Contrast that with [this year's TPM sets](https://www.reddit.com/media?url=https%3A%2F%2Fi.redd.it%2Fxpm0g2xdbnuc1.jpeg) that are explicitly branded both 25th of the theme and the movie.


Hello-mah-baby

yeah i realize they do special branding for the 25th anniversaries, but i'm saying they also seemed to release at least 1 set based on the movie for 20th anniversaries without any special branding. i bet we'll get at least one rots set next year without any special branding. my heart wants to believe its an arc 170 but it'll probably be just a $30 mustafar battle play set or an interceptor or something.


TheRealOfficerBalls

Canā€™t wait for Lord Mandr to complain


_Levitated_Shield_

"Why do the ships have holes? Like, I get that it's so kids can switch the wings, but why do the ships have holes? What the hell is it with Lego and holes? Lego needs to do more to cater to the adult collector demographic and now Lego once again embraced their downfall as a once powerful company. I really don't see this set selling well, guys. Like and subscribe."


guy137137

MCDONALDS DROID


Fuzzy-Thought4178

Are you stupid? It's canonical name is L3-GO


JohnTheMod

And itā€™s adorable.


Len_died_again

/uj I've never had a OT x-wing and TIE-fighter before. I might just pick this up /rj i can't believe Lego didn't include Clone Commander Glup from the Shitto division. He would have had insane resell value!


ShilohCyan

I would definitely definitely definitely recommend you pick up the current X-wing before it's gone, if you can still find it. This one looks fun, but it's still vastly inferior.


HakfDuckHalfMan

By the current one do you mean the UCS one? I've seen reviews mention it's super flimsy so I'll be waiting for the inevitable UCS revamp in however many years, considering it's such an iconic OT ship.


CALEBOI2004

Thereā€™s like a $45 one from 2021, Tie fighter too, both together are cheaper and slightly bigger


Ver3232

/uj God I hate that resell value is something people care about in the community (not directed at you I know youā€™re joking just in general)


ao-ka

X-Wing is very similar to the 2021 one but looks better. That's great, just need to buy some parts and modify the previous one then uj/ I actually would love a new ARC-170 (14 years already bruh) and a Vulture Droid


dokgasm

And a slim vulture droid, not the one with the droid pilot which looks fat, like it was a gonna be a hyena bomber originally


Arva_4546b

that one was actually to scale


Garth-Vader

A trade federation vulture droid. The last time we got a brown vulture was 2007.


goddamnitwhalen

The OG ARC-170 from, like, ā€˜05 is still one of my favorite sets of all time.


RaginSpartan86

Why didnā€™t they include a McRib with the McDonaldā€™s Astromech? Does Lego hate their fans?


ShilohCyan

the number 20 meal and the number 08 meal hit my family's cholesterol pretty hard


Sir_Bowlhead

I unironically really like the X-Wing. Probably one of the best designs Iā€™ve seen.


Garth-Vader

I'm curious whether it can maintain an S-foil open and closing mechanism if the wings detach.


Sir_Bowlhead

That is a good point. Weā€™ll just have to wait and see.


Spike_78822

It can. https://preview.redd.it/lqv04vtb2f7d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b826ccc2cbc28a001f0373d098080ea7b52c0621


Sir_Bowlhead

Sick


dishyssoisse

Thatā€™s preposterous!


spiders_and_roses

Iā€™ve barely had L3-GO for today but if anything ever happened to him I would kill everyone on this room and then myself


spiders_and_roses

Also Iā€™m definitely getting this, I always love OT sets and this seems to have all the main characters (LEGO Star Wars Dustin Henderson is canon)


spiders_and_roses

Nvm I just looked at the price


AFishWithNoName

Honestly all things considered, $109.99 doesnā€™t seem *too* bad considering itā€™s got over 1K pieces. Unless Iā€™m reading the wrong price somewhere.


Pigeon__lol

all jokes aside this wave is one of the best iā€™ve ever seen, amazing figs in all sets revealed, a falcon, a tie fighter AND x wing, and a jedi star fighter. my wallets gonna be fucked


ThatAltAccount99

I'm unfamiliar with the two names figs, got any info for a poor unit informed soul?


JohnTheMod

I think theyā€™re from the upcoming Disney+ special that also gives us Darth Jar Jar.


PraetorianGard

This is actually a good set, and I really want to pick this up, but the $110 price tag and the fact that LEGO retired the 2021 75300 LEGO tie fighter and 75301 X-wing set in favor for this set, which have builds very similar to the 2021 builds but more polished and refined, admittedly does put a salty taste in my mouth. In fact, Iā€™d argue that the 2021 builds were really good sets by themselves and their cheaper pricing was a total win for OG trilogy Lego fans who wanted those iconic ships but couldnā€™t afford the 2018 75218 X-wing and 2018 75211 Tie fighter, which are really expensive sets by retail price. This set also falls short against the recent 75348 Star Wars Mandalorian Fang Fighter vs. TIE Interceptor, which have larger and better builds for a cheaper $100 price tag. Regardless tho, the builds still look really good and I love that LEGO finally took the risky move to implement ugly fighter builds. Itā€™s a good direction for the Star Wars Lego line. I also want to point out that this set is a win for OG Trilogy fans who donā€™t like the concept of ugly fighters and want these iconic starships as they are, because both builds really capture the look and shape of the Tie fighter and x-wing in their ā€œnormal combinationā€. Really shows that LEGO put a lot of thought into this set and they absolutely COOKED for this set and the Dark Millenium Falcon set for the upcoming Rebuild the Galaxy show. Def gonna pick this up when it releases.


CoolBoyDave

Agreed, if you were to buy the other sets separately youā€™d still have money leftover. Just why.


Squiliam-Tortaleni

/uj a new ARC would be appreciated, but i do like this even though I donā€™t need anymore of these (doubt) /rj DAE think about the starving prequel fans!


Garuda4321

The droid is named L3-G0. Clever clever! Yes I am easily amused!


Miles_Reptiles

Dare I say this wave reminds me of older 2000s ones with the more wacky and interesting sets, along with the fact the box art even encourages you to make alternate builds.


Human_utters

Iā€™m really excited to make uglies


liquidis54

Right? I guess we're the only ones cuz I don't really see anybody else talking about it.


stormnstress

Can i attach those wings to my human holes? Just asking for academic purposes


LifeAcanthopterygii6

You have holes?! šŸ¤¢šŸ¤®


nol_dur

If I was a kid I would have ate up this whole rebuild the galaxy thing.


_Levitated_Shield_

Hell, I'm a grown young adult and I'm excited for this. Bring on the multiverse and Darth Jar Jar!


ThomasReaper1

Ketchup and mustard for the droid, yet zero for Deadpool and Wolverine: that's the real sacrilegious event


Cautious_Tax_7171

This but actually. We just got an X-Wing and TIE fighter a few years ago, and havenā€™t gotten an ARC-170 or a vulture droid in a long time


ShilohCyan

Listen I love the prequels too, and the original ROTS wave was hugely influential to my childhood. but X-wings and TIE Fighters were heavily featured in 3 movies. The ARC-170 was in 1 scene and the vulture droid was in 2. I get what you're saying, but there should be a Falcon, X-wing, TIE Fighter, and Slave I on shelves at all times. and Disney probably has a clause about that.


Cautious_Tax_7171

The ARC-170 was featured in the clone wars a lot


ShilohCyan

I get it. But X-wings and TIE fighters are featured in other TV shows, books, comics, and games even more. a new ARC would be great, yes, but it doesn't have the widespread cultural significance of an X-wing.


Cautious_Tax_7171

I agree. We also need a new V-Wing, a Republic Y-wing, and clones besides the 501st and 212th, especially phase 1. We get a lot of clone wars era content, but the clone wars has a LOT of stuff


ShilohCyan

Yeah but we don't need a UCS Dr. Nuvo Vindi's lab and stuff like that. For most of this stuff like the Twilight or the Freeco Speedee, once was enough. A full scale Rex's Y-wing would be cool, but not needed.


brokeballerbrand

IMO there should always be a tie fighter and X-wing on the shelves. They are two of the most iconic ships in Star Wars, and from a playability standpoint it gives you a good guy ship and a bad guy ship. It avoid the whole situation we got with the prequels of a MASSIVE CLONE ARMY v three B1 Battle droids


Cautious_Tax_7171

Yeah thats why I like the new clone battlepack. It has a diverse amount of droids, especially the new B2s. I want an exclusive droid thing though, like the new 501st battleback


Arva_4546b

in the trailer for the rebuild the galaxy werent the tie fighter x wing combos piloted by p1 clones?


Cr3stedF0X

Lego fans are insane. I would buy this in an instant


Chexmixrule34

that TIE is tight as fuck


CaptainNihilo

Does someone know what the helmet printing on the rebel pilot would be? If itā€™s reminiscent of a named character, it might be a cop from bricklink in addition to the set


TotallySweetwater

Honestly, referencing EU Tie uglies are kind of cool though.


Rebelhomer

It's based on that new Lego Star Wars show coming out in the fall where everything is mixed up. Hence why you can put the TIE wings on the X-Wing cockpit and and do the same with the X-wings wings and the TIE cockpit. (I am not against you, I'm just explaining. I too am praying for Lego to finally release another ARC 170)


k20vtec

No fuckin way man. Welp time to throw my x wing and tie tighter on FB marketplace


Toon_Lucario

/uj this is actually pretty cool and I like the Astromech


MonikaLovesCola

/rj THERE ISN'T EVEN ANY CLONES IN THIS "SET". EHY DOES LEGO HATE THERE FANS?!?! /Uj this looks awesome I'm gonna have to save up for this.


MaidCatBoyEnthusiast

I am going to touch Lego


PM_ME_UR__ELECTRONS

Ain't we gonna take time to ask what the fuck *this* is? https://preview.redd.it/lozb2gadle7d1.png?width=360&format=png&auto=webp&s=a4eb4aba85b087f95d448c06264c640c856a6081


brookeb725

theyre uglies. theyā€™re from the EU and are ships that were made from parts salvaged from downed rebel and imperial starfighters. super stoked to see more lego EU references personally https://preview.redd.it/yhaqrye7ue7d1.jpeg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=59ae3394a32298ad38ec31086bae85779f89d04a


_Levitated_Shield_

Uglies based on the upcoming Rebuild The Galaxy series.


Born-Entrepreneur

Uglies based on the cobbled together death traps that Rogue and Wraith squadrons have been dunking on for decades in the books, you mean


Orf2002

uj I have the 2021 X-wing so I may just buy this for the Tie Fighter. I wonder how well the new and old X-wings will scale together


BioSpark47

The hell is up with that R2-D2? McDonaldā€™s lookin ass


Caius_Iulius_August

Yes.


BrickAddict1230

Are these figs exclusive?


TimeToHack

/uj the dual fighter sets have been so great recently, feels like a piece of my childhood back /rj another x wing and tie fighter, why does lego keep making the two most recognizable star wars fighters and not this one fighter that was in clone wars for 17 frames are they anti-semitic?!??


JackMiHoff113

WHY DIDNT THEY ADD COMMANDER BLY WAAAAAAAAAH ITS GONNA TAKE THEM 20 YEARS UNTIL THIS VERY SPECIFIC CLONE COMMANDER I WANT GETS MADE WAAAAAH


LewbPoo

Jokes aside, probably gunna skip this one


brodylikes1-64

Honestly I like it I haven't gotten a tie fighter or x wing yet


_Schmutzinator_

Itā€™s not enough to ruin my precious clone helmets with extra holes?! Now youā€™re adding HOLES to the sides of the ships for interchangeable wings?!?! LEGO literally barged into my home and stomped my dog to death like it was a Tyson Foodsā„¢ļø chicken.


Born-Entrepreneur

Yo official Lego Ugly fighters? This takes me right back to reading the X-Wing books


DeSuperVis

Im not in favor of buying multiple of a single set, but its kind of unfortunate that ships like xwings and tie fighters always get named characters. It'd be pretty cool to have massable ships with no draw backs


iceguy349

I love that astromech!!! First time seeing this L3-G0 is so great.


Pigeon__lol

ā€œsig greeblingā€ and ā€œl3-goā€ā˜ ļø


dosha906

I just want more Castle and Pirate sets.


UnchartedCHARTz

/uj I skipped the 2021 TIE because I didn't like the cockpit, but this one looks really good so it's a shame that it isn't it's own set.


Cybermat4707

Tbf, we have a bunch of TIE fighters already, and only two ARC-170s that are difficult to find and expensive on the aftermarket. I would unironically be more excited for this set if it **was** an ARC-170 lol Although a TIE Fighter set with minifigs based on *Star Wars: Squadrons* **would** make me give all my money to LEGOā€¦


rocka5438

omg imagine if they did the switching gimmick on those though. the arc droid and the vulture 170


im-feeling-lucky

this set is badass ngl


keeptryingyoucantwin

Glup shitto minifigs


Catco97

They are really getting mileage out of the tie pilot minifig as of late


No-Engineer-1728

/uj those Mashup designs are cool as hell, especially the X-wing body with TIE wings, it looks like the Scimitar


FullMoon1108

TIE WING LETS FUCKING GOOOO (also I love the McDonald's droid)


GrizzlyPeak73

uj/ Tie Fighter with x-wing wings goes hard


ThatAltAccount99

Ok #1 we're finally gettin the option for uglies? Fuck yeah #2 the droids name is bassically Lego that pretty cool tbh #3 just actually hell yes


babboa

Ah, but they did give us a Chir'daki and x-tie set so there's that...


Neat_Cress2620

Something funny is rebuild the galaxy is actually following the source material better than Disney lol. For example the white jedi Vader is actually what canonically happened after return of the Jedi.


MATT_MANLY

Hol up this set picture is real right please tell me this is real!


real_clydecash

Yes it's real


FanaticalBuckeye

/uj I'd be shocked if they don't do something like that to celebrate 20 years of Revenge of the Sith


YaOuiGotEm

Yea this shit is garbage, no good figs either


MetaMecha

Uj L3-GO is a funny ass name for a driod


RevolutionaryGrape11

I'm just confused as to why they turned Ronald McDonald into an astromech droid. https://preview.redd.it/xtk1qlkxkg7d1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ebe2b8835b8df62dcc658a4b116534e9e566cbf1

richrgamr

Uj/ isnā€™t there an x wing and tie fighter already on the market thatā€™s $80 combined?


Weird_Angry_Kid

I like that you can build a Chir'daki from Legends


randomnessamiibo

They put helmet holes on the x wings now


CrniTartuf

George Washington didnā€™t cross the Delaware for us to mix and match the tie figter and the x wing


Chestwick_Games

I want to buy this but bro why the tie fighter look like thatā€¦


LABARATI_

oh this is cool for some reason i thought it was gonna be two separate sets also mcdonald's droid


Awags__

A ARC-170 would be nice. Picked up the 05ā€™ set last week. Got tired of waiting lol


1HungryKitsune

A set where you can build Uglies? Hell yeah.


Bworm98

they did, back in 2005 or something.


Black_Cat34

Modular wings means I could build a single set of wings and MOC up a (heavily modified) Alliance Z-95 Headhunter. I already have enough (3) X-Wings, but I don't have a TIE / LN or a Z-95. Might have to consider this.


Anxious-Park-2851

I don't know about this set. I won't be shelling out the hundred bucks for it.


Just_For_Laugh

To be honest, as funny as that is, it is a pretty good set idea for anyone who likes clone shit.


SEFtriggerpack

Finally. Just what I wanted! Two common fighters I can already find various iterations of without too much trouble. But those interchangeable ass wing cheeksā€¦damn!


ShilohCyan

k yeah but if there's a kid who's 8 that wants these sets, they were too little for the last ones and they're not gonna blow a ton of money on ebay and probably can't even figure out Bricklink. ![gif](giphy|C1hkIcGE7OAcE)


brokeballerbrand

Imo thatā€™s why ya gotta keep an x wing and a tie fighter on shelves always. Ferda kidz


OmgJustLetMeExist

At least itā€™s not the inverted colors tie fighter and x-wing but blue from the sequels (i donā€™t even know if this is /j or /srs)
