Strange not to see Beskar forge? I remember seeing some rumors about that, maybe I’m just looking at the wrong pictures. Believe the supposed set # was 75319

The Stonewars article put the Forge for September release.   The picture is supposedly for summer release

What is missing is a a set of speeder bikes with troopers for various Mando scenes.

I thought that too think assumed its an easy battle pack with Jedi Knight Luke.

Hmm, a more likely scenario is for a battlepack with 2 Stormtroopers + 2 Darktroopers + speeder

I like the MFs but overall unimpressed; which is expected with all the scaled down ship models.  The Slave looks like it doesn't even turn the cockpit...the Anniversary version is pretty "safe" in my book. The scale seems smaller...basically if it's a lot smaller than the Crest then it will not display well w/ it.

w/ the recent Juvenile rancor debut in BB...it would be nice if LEGO did a series (helmet scale maybe) of Star Wars beasts...Rancor &  Krait Dragon comes to mind

Speeder Bikes are the helicopters of the Star Wars line, I'm sure we'll see some more.

love that idea. A large say $150ish Jabba and for sure a large wookie would sell well methinks!

It's on the list, but rumored to be a Target exclusive. Maybe that's why it's not pictured.

still supposed to be a fall release

I am generally not a big Star Wars fan, but I'm definitely picking up almost all of these for personal builds. I'm also very eager to see the forge. 

With a cheaper set with Asohka, I'm wondering whether the 75283 AAT has much appeal anymore. Her trooper is the only exclusive figure in the set (I guess the 2 printed droids are technically "unique").    

Scrolling down stonewars.de further and I found a link to pics for Vader's mediation chamber and the box has it as 75296 which is a different number than leaked before. It's not in that overview photo either but shows August release date too.

Mandalorian Fighter had been leaked as a Walmart exclusive, looks like it wont be anymore.

The Forge is listed also and not as an exclusive but a September release.

First official images - now listed on the LEGO website:

It's nice to see a Bo Katan figure. But why can the bootleg figure creators consistently use arm printing, but the actual company treats it like a special treat to have a figure with actual arm printing? They somehow pump them out and ship them across the world for a dollar. 

At least they did better on the helmet anyways. 

The tiny ships still lack appeal for me, but there are a lot of good figures to add to the collection. This will be another round of split out the figures and sell the ship.

This way collectors will need to buy the same minifig over and over again.

If they gave you the best one right away, you wouldn't buy the others.

Cantina set is back to "back order" status, it was "out of stock" this weekend.

So no Gunship reveal? The Moff Gideon cruiser looks gorgeous but it's way too expensive for the size of the ship

Official box images - not sure it's worth the £150 RRP but I'm guessing it will be in high demand!

 

 

pretty sweet...tons better than the New Order Cruiser which was fugly but still performed well post-retirement.

love that it has "bays" for advent Ties and the integrated command tower as a handle makes a lot of sense

That is a neat mortar launcher build:

3 minifigures, 258 parts, looks similar in size to 75299, so presumably £30.... could do well!

The minifigs look great but, it isn't any use for army building as it's named characters rather than generic troopers.

Baby yoda in an ugly seater and Mando w/ a holiday scarf...great ship builds...it's a winner except for the fact that last year the set was scarce meaning this year there will be pallets of these in Costco well past Christmas.

Spoke w/ a clerk at a 3rd party LEGO B&M store.  He claims that since the UCS Clone Wars Gun Ship was not revealed at LEGO-Con that it was not going to be released this year.  This goes against Stonewars predicting that it will...along w/ an UCS AT-AT.

Anyone else hear anything?

What did LEGO con bring us? I wouldn't put too much stock into one inconsequential source. Everything points to UCS Gunship and most likely the AT-AT this year. Going to be interesting to see how they can stretch $800 out of that one though. 

Looks like that store clerk was wrong about availability.
