To my knowledge, this is the first list of sets from the second half of 2017 in the LEGO Star Wars range. It is still a bit vague, it is to be taken with a grain of salt like all unconfirmed rumors and the public prices communicated are rounded for the occasion.

  • 75166 Battle Pack (Episodes IV-VII) - € 15
  • 75167 Battle Pack (Episodes IV-VII) - € 15
  • 75178 Quadjumper (Star Wars The Force Awakens) - €60
  • 75179 Rebel Hangar
  • 75180 The [Guavian] Death Gang (Star Wars The Force Awakens) - €80
  • 75182 Imperial Hovertank (?) - € 30
  • 75183 Darth Vader Transformation (Episode III: Revenge of the Sith) - € 30
  • 75184 LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar 2017 - 30 € (?)
  • 75185 The Freemaker Adventures - € 70
  • 75186 The Freemaker Adventures - € 90

The exact content of the two Battle Packs is not known at this time. The public price is that usually observed. Each of the two advertised references will likely offer as usual four characters from a specific faction.

Set 75178 will undoubtedly allow us to obtain a ship seen briefly in Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Quadjumper which appears for a second on screen during Finn, Rey and BB-8's run on Jakku before exploding. Logically, on the minifig side, Finn, Rey and BB-8 seem to be the minimum union. To associate with sets 75099 Rey's Speeder, 75105 Millennium Falcon et 75148 Encounter on Jakku for a slightly more robust Niima Outpost ...

As usual with Star Wars, even ships that make a brief appearance on the screen are entitled to a hyper-detailed presentation in the various encyclopedias available:

With the set 75180 we will expand our collections of minifigs based on Star Wars: The Force Awakens. In the box, probably some members of the Guavian Death Gang, possibly accompanied by Bala-Tik. Han Solo should logically be present. For 80 €, we may be entitled to a corridor and, let's be crazy, a Rathtar ...

Set 75182 is still a mystery: We just got an Imperial Hovertank based on the movie Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, it is therefore unlikely that this set contains the same device. Perhaps a device from the Star Wars Rebels animated series ...

Set 75183 is likely a LEGO-style reinterpretation of the scene seen inEpisode III: Revenge of the Sith. Collectors will remember the Darth Vader Transformation set 7251 released in 2005. Chances are, this is the same scene with Vader / Anakin and an FX-9 medical droid.

Finally, the references 75185 and 75186 will be based on the animated series The Freemaker Adventures and will expand the number of products derived from this mini-series along with the sets 75145 Eclipse Fighter et 75147 Star Scavenger released this summer.

These new sets will join those planned for the first half of 2017, among which no less than 11 boxes based on the movie Rogue One: A Star Wars Story.

This new list of sets is not the fruit of the rants of a fan in need of attention on any forum. It is relatively vague, but the source is reliable.
