This is the first rumor i've seen related to the January 1st winter wave of 2017.

Sounds like a Yoda's Hut, the UCS Snowspeeder, and a new round of microfighters series 4, and a few Rogue One battlepacks are on the way..

It sounds like the following could happen. 

• 75144 UCS Snowspeeder
• Yoda's Hutt
• 75160 (rebel pilot), 75161 (tie pilot), 75162 (rebel pilot), 75163 (Imperial Officer) 
• 75164 Rogue One Rebel Battle Pack
• 75165 Rogue One Imperial Battle Pack
• 75166 Set with R2D2, and Yoda
• 75169 (possible landspeeder or could be Tusken Raider Attack themed set) has Luke, Obi-Wan, 3PO, and Tusken Raider
• 75170 (rebels set with Chopper, Kanan, Thrawn)
• 75171 Rogue One set with 3 minis (AT-AT's might be safe for a while!)
• 75272 Rebels set
• 75173 (sounds like a jedi final duel type set) with Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan and Maul
• 75174 Desert Skiff with Han, Chewie, Fett, Weequay
• 75179 Set with Lando, Rebel Pilot, Crewman

Saw a Rey buildablebona shelf here in the uk as well as the elite tie pilot.

 

tie pilot looked good, but wasn't too impressed by Rey

The article says that Rogue One wave 1 sets are retiring this year. Probably something to think of if you have been holding off. I am pretty satisfied with the wave 1 offerings and think that the biggest hindrance to growth for them will be oversaturation of the Star Wars brand and lack of new media featuring these characters. In September and January we'll be getting Last Jedi sets plus in 2018 a host of other sets plus Han Solo sets. Rogue One will probably be forgotten about as these characters will make limited or no appearances in future media. Killing off all your main characters kind of cuts the legs out from under them. We'll probably never see the tank, TIE Striker, U-Wing, or Krennic styled Shuttle again as they have to keep creating new styles to sell toys.

LEGO or has threatened JANGBRiCKS with legal action if he doesn't take down his Last Jedi videos

One major set missing from Rogue One is the new edition of Tantive IV...

Im sure BP got that a lot cause of leaked images. 

The Brick Fan posted this to his Twitter feed last night.

The whole thing is a big freaking joke.  They should have released the previews of these during SDCC and washed their hands of it.  Instead, everyone that cares has already seen these sets and knows what's coming.  

It's beyond irritating for all involved. 

This is such a disgraceful situation especially when we know what Jang is doing to popularize Danish toy maker among the youtubers and how devoted he is when it comes to Lego. It's their own responsibility (Disney/Lego) TRU and Wallmart, those parties should be only involved in rectifying this problem  behind the closed doors not by threatening innocent customers with potential legal action aimed against them.

hope Jang will prevail because I'm certain it might have some negative impact on him as a person.

I'm not sure if these have been reported yet in the wild. Found at Walmart in overhead stock...

They were all out at one of mine, along with the pathetic Advent calendar, but when I tried to purchase, it came up as 'Restricted' and the store manager said something about needing to call the home office, etc. So they pulled them off the floor, as a result. Oops!

If you buy the sets legitimately from stores, then surely you can post photos, post videos, basically do whatever you want as legally you've done nothing wrong. The store that sold them on the other hand.

Thats sad to hear. It all starts at the source(retailers) they should be penalized but they don't. Jang is a good dude, awesome reviews and will continue to support him.

Keep in mind though that there's money to. E made posting YouTube videos. Disney doesn't want anyone making money before they do, I guess.

Jang doesn't seem to mind: http://www.jangbricks.com/2017/08/why-ive-taken-down-my-star-wars-last.html

I will not lose any sleep over this.  I will not be calling for a boycott of LEGO or Disney over this.  I will not make a video of me smashing LEGO Star Wars sets with a sledgehammer over this.  I will not stop reviewing LEGO sets or building my LEGO city over this.  Heck, I have not lost any of my passion and love for LEGO products over this.

Nope. And he shouldn't. He stands to loose far more than he gains by fighting them. As soon as the embargo is lifted I'm sure he can repost the videos.

It's the angry mob that wants him to fight it.

Disney or Lego probably spent a nice chunk of change having that letter drafted and sent by their high powered lawyer.  Probably more than they "lost" with these early reviews.  That's why this whole thing is absurd and just makes them look like buttholes.

If they add Jang to their promo list then this wouldn't happen.

Especially when the Chinese fakes are running rampant and they are powerless to stop THEM.

word of reason.

8:28 to hear Jangs thoughts.  I don't know how to do the fancy @Shewie stuff  

Jang is one of my favorite humans. 

Doom's day scenario, I was waiting for a moment when he will mention being imprisoned in Guantanamo for posting review of broadly available Lego Set.
even if he would be sued this trail wouldn't take more than 2 or 3 sessions. it's entirely TRU and Wallmart + Lego problem. Not Jang.

he is as soft as pillow. Other you tubers doesn't give a flying f whatever this "consulting company" is sending to everyone with those legal demands.

All depends what you have to lose. The revenue lost from having all videos taken down and the time to repost them all are probably good reasons in his case.

there was nothing on the stake from the very beginning, he is just making to much drama around this case. There is no a legal reason to take his content out and delete everything what he did so far because someone's mistake, TRU and Wallmart should be taken to responsibilities not common folks.
he is a drama queen who is over saturating the problem pointing there are people who will go after him.
Can't wait to see the rest youtubers and content creaters to be sued for milions of usd because of Wallmart and TRU dead stupidity.

it doesn't make sense whatsoever even having in mind how ridiculous is law system in USA.

however that would be the best episode for Judge Frank Caprio "case" to investigate.
"I built bricks from Wallmart and I got sued"
Frank Caprio: "Dismissed"

ok what's next... ok a felony.


 

It's not about the court case though. It's about YouTube. Who is YouTube going to side with?

If he gets a black mark on his YouTube record, he could end up losing money. His account could end up closed.

Successful YouTubers can make some good bank.

Drama queen? Maybe. It certainly got people talking about his channel. Which equals people seeking him out. Which equals more views. Which is more $$$.
