      You are correct on the first point, 17 years since a REAL MTT came out, no duel of fates, no Naboo Starfighter, no purchasable Droid Carrier. However those small slots are being used for Disney era and the larger slots for OT sets, the 18+ sets are not taking away slots, they have been around since 2019. More efficient set choices could solve this issue, but the world needs another Millennium Falcon and X-wing/Tie fighter pack evidently.

Having it behind a May 4th promo (in which you have to spend a certain amount (and a lot) of money to be able to get one) is a massive turn off and really unfair for those who want to army build, not to mention the unfair treatment Separatists have been getting in recent years outside of a few things. Not to mention it would have definitely sold very well as a normal set.

      I think you grasp this fully. Your comment seems level headed. But, from other replies Ive seen, people think this set itself is $160. People, it is a bonus. If you bought $160 worth of star wars stuff May 12th, you’d just get $160 worth of LEGO. With this, you still get the $160 worth of LEGO AND this on top. It is just an incentive to spend $ during that weekend. Like black Friday. Spend $ now and get bonus. You’re not getting jipped out of $160 via scam. They could do nothing at all. If you don’t want to or can’t, then don’t spend $160. I feel for you. I do. I wish this was a stand alone set too. (Well kinda. B1s are a dime in a dozen really.) But, the complaints to actual offense by LEGO ratio does not match anywhere near where it should be. Complain to LEGO. It will make LEGO give consumers what we want. But, Star Wars LEGO fans only know how to complain it seems. A free GWP for something that really isn’t too hard to hit. Get like 2-4 sets that weekend and you are probably close if not hit it. Or hell, just the 1 set the UCS. People really out here blasting LEGO over a free bonus.

    Having to spend 160 bucks on a set that’s worth like 30 dollars is a steep asking price. It’s a damn shame since I have been waiting for a new version of the droid career for years. They shouldn’t be locking sets that should, by all accounts, just be regular releases behind such a ridiculous paywall.

So I was so excited when I read this was coming out. Then I read it was a GWP and I was extremely disappointed to put it mildly. Lego seems to know exactly what we want but then seems to find a way to spit into the face of their most loyal customers. I would have probably bought a lot more than one of these sets. But with this being GWP I will be lucky to get my hands on one of them, since they’ll probably be sold out within hours of the promotion starting. They need to stop pulling moves like this or more and more people will just stop engaging with the hobby.

    OR it could be exclusive in the sense that maybe we get a bunch of different battle droid colors. Like maybe a pilot droid and geonosis battle droids for the first time in over 10 years??? It is unlikely, but I feel like this set would feel more like a Gwp collectors item. Maybe even get a super tactical droid or normal TD. It’s definitely a long shot but I feel like it IS a bit weird we are getting a GWP like this. If I’m not mistaken the last GWP for SW we got was the mini DS 2??? For ROTJ 40th??? Very exclusive. So maybe we get a special droid or something?? Maybe a cool Jedi with it like Tera Sinuba or maybe Yaddle??? I feel like this set would be much more worth the $160 with a figure like that, but I feel like everyone would want it then even more so maybe it wouldn’t be a good idea. But I think a Tera senuba might be cool cuz he is relatively unknown and wouldn’t fit in very many other sets. IDK we can all wish but it will probably just be a normal set locked behind a paywall, nothing special.

    This set will not sell well with normal fans over two years. Look at the Ghost. Everyone been clamoring for one thinking it will make a lot of money for LEGO. The set BOMBED. No obviously the Ghost is from Rebels/Ahsoka, which are not popular shows, but I don't think this droid set does well just because it is from the far more popular "George Lucas Canon." This set would sell well with LEGO Star Wars junkies, so releasing it as a GWP makes sense.

    Ok, but if it was an exclusive figure that everybody wanted behind a GEP paywall, it’d be fine? May 4th promos have had paywalls for like a decade if not more now. I am failing to see how this is any different. Last year’s was a pretty dang good death star and that was €150. And like, I get a battle droid battle pack has been called for by fans. But, if these are common B1s, like yay… 6-8 droids I have 100s of. I am going to hit the paywall pretty much regardless. But, even if I didn’t foresee myself spending €160, I wouldn’t be too mad missing this. I’d be more upset over an exclusive figure than a handful of B1s any day. And, LEGO has had things behing a paywall for 10+ years for May the 4th promos. And if you really want more than 1 copy of this set, I think you’ll be able to have 2 accounts to get two or get them relatively cheap second hand. I get people want a droid battle pack. I do. We ehhhhh…. Kinda have one with that most recent battle pack. Yeah, I’ll give you that you’re forced to buy clones. If you really only want droids, sell the clones. People more want the clones anyway. You’ll probably make back 2/3-3/4 of your money selling the clones. Then just buy more. Get more tripod walkers and B1s and B2s. Does this kinda stink, sure. But, I think kicking up this much of a fuss is overkill. Droids are not hard to come by and exclusives have been behind a paywall for a decade plus for May the 4th. I am not mad about this news about the droid carrier. Complete opposite. Im excited. Lock it behind a paywall. I am coming in. I don’t buy sets on release day so I have enough to buy during this time every year. It is like the one big spending LEGO spree a year. I think this is a good GWP. A really good choice really. I think a lot of people will enjoy it.

      You have to be a lego vip (which is free just sign up for it on lego.com) and spend $160 on Star Wars sets on either lego.com or at a lego store most likely in between may 1st and may 4th. You don’t have to spend $160 on one Star Wars set your order just has to add up to $160. You could either buy one set or multiple. The gwp’s are usually intended for the people that buy the $240 may 1st ucs set every year.

    LOL! Lego needs to stop listening to the fans. Nothing lego does is going to make them happy. They need to learn from Disney. This is great news for me. I'm usually good to spend about $800 on May releases. That should give me a minimum of 4 GWP (and if I can space it out right, 5). I'm guessing they will go for at least $80-100 after they retire, and since I have no interest in prequel set or minifigs there is a very good chance my purchases this year will come very cheap.

      ​@@fivelonelyclones I get what your saying, I really do. I was pretty salty when the buildable lightsabers were attached to expansive sets. But, ultimately, I look at these things for what they are, gifts. Also, I discovered that I could piece these GWP together for about $25-30 through the pick a brick option at the lego website. You can't usually do mini figs there, but Lego doesn't consider droids mini figs, and I'm told they can be pieced together for about $1 a piece. A little leg work and I would guess this set could be done for about the same as the lightsabers.
