TIE Bomber Leak and Potential Jedi: Survivor Sets

Now that we've got some more information, it's time for us to cover the details on the TIE Bomber that was leaked a few days ago, along with further information regarding the 501st Battle Pack and potential Jedi: Survivor sets. Let's get right into it.

LEGO 75347 Star Wars: TIE Bomber

LEGO Star Wars is starting 2023 off strong with the TIE Bomber finally returning to us after being absent from LEGO sets for 19 years, with the last version releasing all the way back in 2003.

The set is expected to release at the beginning of January 2023. The minifigures included are Darth Vader, Rae Sloane, a TIE Pilot and a GONK droid. The set will cost roughly $100 AUD.

LEGO 75345 Star Wars: 501st Clone Troopers Battle Pack

Based on the Star Wars: Battlefront II classes (except for the officer minifigure), this battle pack is a welcome addition to any army-builder's collection. Featuring two heavy troopers, an officer and a specialist, we're treated to a brand new macrobinocular mold (although it is lacking printing), as well as a rangefinder and two sun visors with blue coloration.

The set will release at the beginning of January, and is expected to retail at around $35 AUD. We'll be stocking up on these for some of our competitions, so keep your eyes on our social media and our website for further information.

Star Wars Jedi: Survivor Trailer

Jedi: Fallen Order fans rejoice! A new trailer has dropped for the upcoming sequel, Jedi: Survivor, which you can watch below. But does this mean we can expect anything to coincide in LEGO form?

While it would be awesome to get an official Cal Kestis minifigure and some sets based on what we've seen in the video game, don't be quick to get your hopes up that we'll see him in LEGO form. When Jedi: Fallen Order released in 2019, LEGO didn't make any sets to coincide with the release, and only in 2022 did they finally drop one set (the buildable BD-1) which retailed at $160 AUD and didn't come with a Cal Kestis minifigure, an odd choice considering he is the main protagonist of the game.

From the leaks and rumors circulating so far, we haven't heard of any plan for LEGO to release a Jedi: Survivor LEGO set. However, given that the launch of the video game is set for March 17, 2023, it is possible that LEGO's May 4th Star Wars promotion could be related to Jedi: Survivor to help promote the game.

We'll provide more updates where we can. More to come soon...
