Not when they re-release a Darth Vader bust for this series.

I hope they release Vader's helmet and wait 2 years before remaking the bust

Maybe it's just the box art or the angle but the Stormtrooper set looks like a miss to me.  Compared with another adult toy product.

 "Compared with another adult toy product."  Are we still talking about Lego?  😮

for some reason I thought these would be bigger, but they are essentially BHz core w/ extensive detailing (based on pictures)...it was irrational to think they were bigger since the exposed studs infer a definite scale...I guess that's how marketing gets us.

That said, price point seems about 30% too high for essentially UCS Brickheadz

 

a Typical $10 Brickheadz is between 120-150 pieces.  $15 for around 180 pieces.  These sets have around 650 pieces.  So if they're glorified brickheadz, then they should be about $40. 

Unfortunately, Vader Bust which only had 327 pieces (but was a limited edition) also sold for $40.  So based upon the Vader Bust price, these sets will end up selling for $80.... *sigh*  That is outrageous for a head that is basically the same dimensions as the Vader Bust.  I see your point about these being a glorified brickheadz.  Sad.  I was looking forward to the Boba Fett head but I'll be waiting for a sale at that price.

looks like it will be similar to the Architecture line as far as pricing goes. Many of the architecture products are priced in the $.10 per piece range. Some a bit more, some less.

 

 

I do like the helmets but am shocked that is pretty much the extent of the summer waves.

75274 is apparently a TIE Fighter Pilot bust (to join the Boba Fett and Stormtrooper busts that are already known).

If that's true, that leaves at least one more possible bust to complete the series, that being 75275.  Stormtrooper 75276 and Boba Fett 75277.  75278 is D-O so that's probably where the 'bust line' stops

Tie fighter helmet...

Edited March 17, 20205 yr by OrangeChiliPeP

Available now LEGO Shop at Home for pre-order April 20th

For the TIE Fighter Pilot, are those train wheels making up the hoses going to the mask?  That's clever, I wonder what piece is used to connect them.

I was wondering how they did that too.

I wish they snotted the sides of the helmet too, not just the front. It looks... incomplete from the side.

I assume it is just a piece of pneumatic hose.

I liked the Vader bust alright, just because it was the first and limited, but this helmet series is a definite pass for me. If they had made them life sized, maybe.... the detailing would be nice enough for me to get a little interested, but no, these are lame...

Is TIE Fighter Pilot™ Helmet #75274 a lego.com exclusive? Looks like walmart and target are not preselling it. And the Pre-order button on Lego.com is removed (correct me if I am wrong, i remember seeing it a couple of days ago).

April Fools? Or is this legit?

I feel like I may have been fooled🙃  We'll see

A unauthorized leak on April 1 could be legit. A press release from Lego like this on April 1. Nope.

Of course it's April Fools...

He literally puts at the bottom of the post “+spoilers” which reveals April fools

But yeah I was texting a buddy for a good five minutes about how ludicrous that is before realizing it was fake [emoji1782][emoji854]

New A-Wing pilot leaked on insta. UCS A-Wing rumor seems legit.
