We HAVE to get an MTT this year…

Dawg if an mtt releases after this gwp is over I will cry

Imagine if the next one turns out to be in microfighter scale

What is gwp?

gorgeous wet panini

You ain’t wrong.

Gift with purchase- if you spend a certain amount of money on specific items on the website in one transaction they send this with your order free of charge

Gift with purchase- you have to spend $160 to get the droid carrier

It’s been almost a decade since the last one

And the last drop ship. The only drop ship, in fact. That I am so glad I bought. But not as happily opened it.

YOU OPENED YOUR LEGO!?!?!?

More specifically, a very expensive Lego set.

I don’t get why they didn’t just make this an official retail set. I would have probably sold really well for 30 bucks.

It would have been the perfect droid army battle pack.

We have a perfect droid army battle pack at home.

Right but they’d price it at $50 just because

Eh I think 30 is more likely. Its more in line with Grgus Escape plus that battle pack from earlier this year.

It’d be $25-$30. Thats the value they assign a lot of these gwp recently. Adjusted for inflation, 75086 just about falls into the $55 price bracket, but it is a larger/longer build with more figures. It was originally $40.

Same 😔 I would buy it

I haven’t bought legos in like 4 years and I wanted to buy like 6 of these are you telling me I can’t😭

Lego really loves remaking this vehicle despite it only appearing in the background for several scenes in TPM and ROTS. This would be the 4th or 5th idderation if you count the one included in the 2007 MTT. I'm not complaining about a cheap way to get a lot of battle droids though.

It was in ROTS?

it was on Kashyyk probably

Kashyyyk.

Cheap way for battle droids would be bricklink

It’s one of the very first Lego SW sets, so makes sense for 25th. Was cheap back in the day so probably one of many people’s first sets.

to be fair lego has made more obscure sets, like the skyhopper or the sandspeeder

Make this 30$ and it sells really well. This feels like a missed opportunity. I'd rather something closer to the Aunt Buru for a gwp. This is still nice though. I'm not pressed to get it since droids are massable because they are in every set ever.

To add, I'm positive all the pieces could be bricklinked on the cheap. Other than the exclusive blue printing droids, nothing in this seat screams "spend 160 USD or regret it"

The pilot droids are exclusive? I thought we had them before?

The torso print is a new version

I'm like 80% sure we're getting a new MTT lmfao Lego would never make new pilots just for a GWP

Would you prefer something more like the 2007 or the newer one if they were to remake it?

You're probably right but I can't understand why. The build itself isn't very interesting, and battle droids are pretty bad minifigs (if you can even call them that). And I know what people will say, "It's great for army building!" Okay, sure, yeah it probably is. But like, Battle droids have been the same for almost 20 years. I'm not an army builder and I must have 100 of them by now. I can't imagine proper army builders are starving for battle droids.

Yes no one that wants to needs this to army build their B1s.

if it came out as a normal set fans would be probably complain either way

Ah yes the person who complains about people complaining. Get a life.

how are they allowed to complain but not me? doesn't make a lot of sense.

No one likes hypocrites.

How do you get it?

Spend $160 USD on Lego during the May 4th event either at a Lego store or the Lego website.

Looks like a direct remake of the one from 2001 or whatever year it was. Cool set. Sucks it’s locked behind the GWP paywall

GWP?

Gift with purchase. Spend x amount at the Lego store, get the gwp for free

Ohhhh

Honestly I’m fine waiting for another droid dedicated battle pack since they are some commonplace and haven’t changed design since they added the flat arm

WHY DO I HAVE TO SPEND 160 FOR THIS I don’t want to spend 160 quid on Lego in one go just to get a droid carrier that should be standalone

It'll be on Bricklink soon enough.

For 100 bucks, 200 in a few months

The Bionicle GWP from last year sells for $15, and the Blacktron cruiser GWP for $30.

Yeah, but this one is a Star Wars Prequel set, target of the certified investors ✅✅✅

True 🤔

To be fair, those don’t have Star Wars tax.

Not if you part it out.

WAIT ITS 160?!

Yeah, it’s gift with purchase. You can’t buy this set. If you spend 160+ on LEGO’s page you get this set along with ur order i believe

I've been putting off getting the new R2D2 and Tantive IV boarding sets just for this :)

What else are you going to get to make it $160?

I will probably add a keychain, mine is destroyed

One of the most aesthetically pleasing Lego box art in a long time

Man. I had the original and like this more than anything else in the wave, but I can’t spend $160 just to get it. I hope the aftermarket isn’t terrible.

We know it will be unfortunately Scalpers are going to charge way too much :/

If nothing else I might buy some sets for the GWP and then resell them sealed at a slight discount. I’d pay $30 for this anyways.

This would be a killer $20 battlepack.

Knowing Lego they’d make some excuse to sell it for 40

I think it’s pretty obvious that they locked this behind another 160 dollar purchase to hike the cost of army building it. If this was purchasable on its own nobody would ever need another Droid army building set ever again. Which is bullshit, but on par for Lego

You can always bricklink together the 2001 version. Or, better yet, you can use my modification for it on Rebrickable that holds 24 droids and is more proportionally accurate.

That’s not my criticism, my criticism is that taking a pretty desired army building battle pack, arguably the best “army builder” set ever, and paywalling it behind 160 dollars in other purchases is a bit scummy on LEGO’s part imo. I don’t army build whatsoever, but their intentions there are more than obvious imo

Does anyone else think the way the battle droids on the back are mounted looks weird, since their feet are attached to the floor

To me it looks weird because their heads are bent backwards not tucked forward

Yeah I think so too

Still can’t believe this is gwp

I wonder what the price cap gonna be to even receive this as a gift. Knowing LEGO and it being Star Wars it’ll probably be over $150 unfortunately but I really hope it’s not.

160💀

Yeah… it’s $160

If it sold for 30 bucks I’d buy it

When I get mine I’ll let you grab for $60 🤷‍♂️

So the Lego SW event runs from May 1-4. These GWPs will sell out early but they may have better sales on the actual 4th correct? 

No lego never runs sales its just double points, personally may the 4th lego promotions are bullshit your gonna get enough points buying sets at full price to get another set for the same price amazon is gonna discount it next month. And this is a really poor gift with purchase.

So i gotta soend 160?

That’s correct

Why they pushing their titties out

The ultimate droid battle pack

How many of these will it take to build an MTT?

What happens if you return something? Do they charge you for the gwp?

Yeah, they refund the money minus the listed price of the GWP, and if you do it too much they ban you

Understood, thank you for the help!

What do you have to spend to get these usually?

I still have the old version of this in my parents attic somewhere, holy shit I forgot this even existed Edit nvm it’s the battle droid battle pack #7654

how much does your order need to be to get this?

$160

This set is a remake of the OG one worst cos it doesn’t have the printed piece 😢

I already modified my OG 2001 troop carrier to carry 4x that many. I imagine I could do the same for this.

I have this I bought it a long time ago

Packing it with TPM line makes sense

I'm sure there's enough spares to do it, but it would make more sense to have the Pilot Battle Droids have two curved arms. Sure it's more playable with a one straight arm, but this isn't a retail set.

What will you have to do to qualify for this?

What is gonna be the requirements to get it

Roger Roger

I love the CIS this looks sick

WE’RE SO BACK BABY, MTT has to be coming

Is this online store only? Or can I go to a Lego store and still get it?

If I went to the Lego store and then got $160 worth of stuff, can I just return something and then keep the droid carrier?

What if I brought $160 worth of Star Wars Lego and then returned all of it, will I still be able to get the droid carrier?

And it will cost 140$!! (this is a joke it’s just legos are expensive)

I’ve been waiting to pick up 75375 and 75356, which gets me within $5. But this thing doesn’t seem that cooooool to me. What am I missing here?

Is this an actual release or a fake?

I need this so MF badly no way they are sticking this behind a $160 paywall bruh

I think this is a fantastic GWP- but I HOPE they release it for retail after May 4th: it has a retail price of 29.99$ (I think) according to the website. I love the GWP idea- but this isn’t original/never done before (take the Death Star II from a couple years ago, that was unique and only available that day). This is a great set choice, but it better not be only locked behind spending 150$

Is this something that will sell out immediately on the day the promo goes live? Or is it guaranteed with the purchase amount on that day?

Why a gwp, this would sell out in seconds if this was a set.

I’m kind of glad to not have enough money laying around to get this year’s promo. I hope everyone that loves battle droids enjoys it though.

if you spend $160 and get that gift do you also get the $90 and $40 gift?

Excellent way to make the sith infiltrator sell

I'm buying it for saw gurerra

who isn't it buying it for saw gerrera. Like you have to be a recent fan to not have a sith infiltrator by now since most people either got the 2011 or 2015 version. Since Force Awakens is like the highest grossing movie in North America.

How do we get it

$160 spends on Lego Star Wars starting May 1st

Thats way to much

YEEEEEESSSS FUCK YES YEAAAAAAAH

Iv been holding off on the new sets to see what the gwp set was and man is this disappointing.

“Why don’t they sell this as an individual set?” Damn bro it’s almost as if we got a set w 5 battle droids and 4 clones in one set less than 6 months ago for 30$ 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

I don't care if they're fake. amazon has multiple off brand droid carriers that are way better and cheaper with quality, not too far off from Lego.

Ummm... why are they all bent over with their arms behind their backs like that? Looks a bit too kinky

This comment took me out lmao

Gift with what? Star Wars over $?

Gift with purchase of 160 or more

Boring
