I suspect much rioting if it’s from TLJ. Box art shows Jakku. Battelfront II is supposed to explain the Battle of Jakku. If it is from the game, I like that SW story group is incorporating old toy concepts like this into it and canon the same way Rebels did with the Imperial Troop Transport and a ton of Ralph McQuarrie drawings. Again, if from Battlefront II, nice to see we're getting at least one set from the game this time rather than just battle packs like they did when the original Battlefront came out. From a set design standpoint it seems lazy but I think understanding the story behind it helps rationalize it. To play devils advocate, though, the red dust speeders going up against walkers on Crait is still a little too similar to the Hoth fight.

They're a fairly new piece, but they have been in other sets as A-wing fins (75150, 75175) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskers1236 Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 If a Star Wars set gives us new rebel pilot variants, I'm ok with it. Of course, I'll bricklink them and not buy the set, but regardless.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If thats true then I may have to go for WW2 instead as a map of snakes vs sandspeeder's seems unsporting. Also Jakku wasn't really a batte as it was more a mass suicide for the empire to destroy the rebels.

mysterhee Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 There are already 3 reviews on youtube now, so these must be getting released around the country. Kinda weird there's no talk from Lego about this set. , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Lego seem to be in trouble with their turnover goals if they are rush releasing all these 2018 sets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Twain Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 I think the internet’s consensus is it is a Target exclusive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Twain Posted December 4, 2017 Author Share Posted December 4, 2017 What a sadly accurate description of how little fun this set will be for a child: "There's also a toppling moisture vaporator, which any budding Sandspeeder pilot will love to use for target practice." On an aside, can anyone make out the odd writing on the box art directly above and to the right of the sandspeeder? I haven't played BF2-does it have something to do with the game?
