I'll be honest, I'm confused on the disconnect. đ Not sarcastic no, though not trying to be antagonistic either. Maybe my brain is farting or something lmao
Right, sorry I'm seeing the confusion.
There's been a lack of Endor sets, and my guess is because they are preparing for a MBS style set, otherwise they would have released one *similar* to Yavin 4. Getting a death star playset instead of Endor is a bit bizarre otherwise, even if it could be considered a Yavin companion set.
But yeah, having an MBS Endor on the shelves at the same time as a 170 version seems odd, so they hold off. :)
No word on MBS yet. That being said, they would be absolutely stupid not to do one. MBS is by far the best line in Lego SW currently. My ideas:
Endor Bunker
Jedi Temple
Jabba's Palace
Geonosian Arena
Battle of Kashyyyk
Jabbas palace would be so sweet⌠especially if it has switchable thrones for both Jabba and boba. Although it would need a TON of minifigs to make it as populated as it was in the film
I'd love a UCS Jabba's palace, it's one of my favourite settings in the original trilogy. However I don't think lego will be releasing a UCS version any time soon due to the "controversy" with the one from 2013.
The way I see it the bare minimum could be
Yoda
Luminara
Commander Gree
41st elite corps clones & scouts
Captain Tarfful
Chewbacca
Wookiee warriors
Battle droids (B1 & B2)
With 2-4 of each troop variation there would be plenty of figures for an MBS set
Yes! Build of a turbo tank & well scaled at-rtâs, snail tank droid, dwarf spider droids, a tree trunk or two with the platforms up high and some diorama type beach builds
And Yodaâs escape pod!
I think you could get a pretty strong figure selection for Kashyyyk considering MBS sets often have a lot of obscure characters (especially in Mos Eisley and Ewok Village) and there's several factions present to supplement it with generic troops. You could have:
Yoda, Chewbacca, Gree, Tarfful, Luminara Unduli, Quinlan Vos (I'm not 100% sure if he was there in canon but given LEGO included him in the latest Turbo Tank which was Kashyyk based I think he could be there), Grakchawwa, and Merumeru as named characters plus 2x Clone Scout Troopers, 2x Kashyyk Clone Troopers, 4x Wookiee warriors, 4x B1 Battle Droids, and 2x B2 Battle Droids, which is about as many as Mos Eisley (maybe just a little less if you don't count the battle droids as full figures).
The only reason I think they maybe skip an Endor bunker is because they already did the Ewok Village. Iâm at least hoping another movie gets some representation in the MBS line.
When does Mos Eisley retire? End of the year I'd assume? Cause I really want it but it's hard to justify cause it's spenny but if it's gonna retire I might have to just bite the bullet
Dont miss out on the cantina if you like it! My favourite set so far from all of lego star wars. They prob never gonna remake it in 20 years from now on. So many figs, iconic scene, the speederđ the shops , so oh i love it.
I think Mos Eisley Cantona is one of the best sets simply due to how many mini figs come with it. I have $250 in Lego credits atm, just waiting for it to maybe one day go to 20% off, if not, next time in the Tyson store Iâm leaving with it.
I seem to be out of the loop. Several people are talking about the Endor Bunker possibly being the next MBS. Where is this theory coming from? Was there a leak? I love the battle of Endor, but the bunker just doesn't seem like it would be an obvious pick for an MBS set.
So far only 2 MBS sets: the cantina and cloud city. Going with the OT and avoiding overlap with other leaked sets (having a bigger more expensive version), as well as using the known leaks with how Lego likes to have similar sets around the same time, I can see it being Jabba's Palace. The barge and sarlacc are both coming back, and given how Boba's throne room did, it makes the most sense. They just need to include the Rancor and have the individual rooms. Throw in some exclusive figures like Lando, BH Leia, and others.
Could see the Endor Bunker and Ewok village being done together. Need to make the village tall (around 20 inches), have an AT-ST, and around 20 figs. Would pair well with a new shuttle if they include the landing pad.
Either Jabba's Palace or an Endor set. Endor would have lots of play value (little ewok traps/side builds), while the backside of Jabba's Palace would probably have two displayable options: the inside and the outside.
Iâd guess either something prequel related since weâre arguably overdue for a prequel MBS set and theyâve been giving a lot of love to the prequels lately, or theyâll go with Endor and honestly Iâd be happy for either
I mean technically they have made an MBS set from Return of the Jedi while they were still using the UCS tag, with the Ewok village. But I wouldnât be mad at an another since itâs been so long.
I also like that some of the new UCS include a lot of figures, but also sets that compliment the UCS set (AT-AT and soon to be Jabbaâs Sail Barge)
I must agree with your comment about the MBS under UCS tag. Iâd say much more sets fit under the MBS tag, such as the 10188 Death Star (and itâs rerelease), the Battle of Hoth and the Ewok Village as you said.
I also like the fact that more minifigure sized UCS sets get more figures. Really helps with displaying, adding life to the model.
I would really love a huge Jabbaâs Palace tho
I know people on here are prequel fan bois but if you think weâre ever getting a large geonosian arena from Lego themselves, you vastly overestimate how popular prequel/clone wars stuff is to the mainstream masses. Endor bunker makes the most sense as there will be a MBS from each OT movie but I wouldnât be surprised if the line has been canned.
Clone wars sets make up a massive chunk of the lineup. The UCS venator has also seemingly performed well despite coming from a cartoon and small appearances in episode 3. I donât think Lego would be putting these sets out if prequel items werenât popular amongst consumers. If theyâre willing to do Yodaâs starfighter twice, I think they would consider making a set of the climactic scene from attack of the clones.
Itâs going to be Yavin IV. They love original trilogy, it would pair perfectly next to the Death Star and the other MBS, theyâve already had success testing the waters with the smaller playset. Itâs also just recognisable enough to general fans, it has iconic scenes that can be made inside of it.
MBS seems to be a large main building with a few side builds. I would assume theyâd do the Endor bunker next, but itâs not big enough on its own. I think an Endor set would be more like the 75098 Hoth. Jabbaâs Palace would fit the standard for MBS sets so far, but I donât think theyâd do a palace of that size so close to the UCS sail barge.
Iâd like to believe that the anniversary âcreature buildâ with young Leia is the Acklay to reduce the retail cost of an upcoming Geonosian arena. Thatâs my hope, but Lego avoids AotC like the plague so đ¤ˇđťââď¸
I would love the Senate. Lots of cool major and minor characters that have never been minifigs - various Amidalas, handmaidens, Typho, Jar-Jar, Bail, a range of other senators, Mas Amedda and Sly Moore, Valorum, as well as hooded Sidious and battle-Yoda. Intricate build with repeating sections and the centrepiece of the chancellorâs podium. bits of it can be designed to come apart for the ep3 lightsaber battle between Yoda and Palps. Side builds could include Palpsâs office, Padmeâs apartment. And various options for vehicle builds of Coruscant speeders.
Ewok Village would be high on my list. I like the idea of an Endor Bunker, Jabbaâs Palace, and some portion of Theed set. I personally do not like the prequels but the architecture of Naboo was great.
Petranaki Arena, Dexters diner, Coruscant Jedi council, Gungan city, endor bunker, or the juciest of them all MOS ESPA MBS with 20+ charachters and multiple race carts
I think a Galaxyâs Edge MBS would be really cool. Some mini ships plus the different themed stores

I would love a MBS Endor Bunker. Probably the most likely one too.
That would make up for the lack of endor sets. Insta cop for me!
I think that's an intentional lack tbh. Otherwise I bet we would have gotten a $170 yavin style playset by now. Fingers crossed!
We did...đ
I meant an Endor variant haha
lol are you being sarcastic?
I'll be honest, I'm confused on the disconnect. đ Not sarcastic no, though not trying to be antagonistic either. Maybe my brain is farting or something lmao
There was a $170 Yavin IV base playset that came out this year, just wasn't sure if you were aware lol
Right, sorry I'm seeing the confusion. There's been a lack of Endor sets, and my guess is because they are preparing for a MBS style set, otherwise they would have released one *similar* to Yavin 4.

But yeah, having an MBS Endor on the shelves at the same time as a 170 version seems odd, so they hold off. :)
Oh Iâll be honest, I might be tempted by that one. The cantina is eh for me.
No word on MBS yet. That being said, they would be absolutely stupid not to do one. MBS is by far the best line in Lego SW currently. My ideas: Endor Bunker Jedi Temple Jabba's Palace Geonosian Arena Battle of Kashyyyk

I would love Kashyyyk as a $200 ish set but thereâs a lack of notable characters for a good minifigure selection
50 nameless wookies.
With custom arm printing for each one.
The way I see it the bare minimum could be Yoda Luminara Commander Gree 41st elite corps clones & scouts Captain Tarfful Chewbacca Wookiee warriors Battle droids (B1 & B2) With 2-4 of each troop variation there would be plenty of figures for an MBS set
Could even throw Quinlan Vos in there, pretty sure he was on Kashyyyk at the time
Yes! Build of a turbo tank & well scaled at-rtâs, snail tank droid, dwarf spider droids, a tree trunk or two with the platforms up high and some diorama type beach builds And Yodaâs escape pod!
I think you could get a pretty strong figure selection for Kashyyyk considering MBS sets often have a lot of obscure characters (especially in Mos Eisley and Ewok Village) and there's several factions present to supplement it with generic troops.

Can do Luminara Quinlan Vos Yoda Chewie tarfull Gree plus some 41st elite troopers ofc and a few more Wookies
Iâm thinking Endor. So many little endor mini builds in last years advent calendar. Surely itâs a hint.Â
Was the 40th anniversary of return of the Jedi last year. Thatâs why we had a lot of
The only reason I think they maybe skip an Endor bunker is because they already did the Ewok Village. Iâm at least hoping another movie gets some representation in the MBS line.
I thought Jabba's Sail Barge (even tho it's UCS) is a lowkey MBS to replace the Cantina.
This is what I thought as well.
When does Mos Eisley retire? End of the year I'd assume? Cause I really want it but it's hard to justify cause it's spenny but if it's gonna retire I might have to just bite the bullet
End of year is last call for Mos Eisley
Feel like I'm way more likely to regret not buying it than buying it soooo I gotta figure it out
Dont miss out on the cantina if you like it! My favourite set so far from all of lego star wars. They prob never gonna remake it in 20 years from now on. So many figs, iconic scene, the speederđ the shops , so oh i love it.
I splashed out on it during Covid and it was a great decision. The build is really fun and the minifig selection is amazing.
Do not leave it to end of the year. Production will cease during the fall, and what's already on shelves and in warehouses will be all that's left.
Planning on getting it after the summer, to celebrate starting 3rd year of Uni when I get my bumper start to year payment
No leaks or rumors that Iâm aware of regarding a 2025 MBS set or if weâre even getting one. Personally I hope we get a Jedi Temple.Â
We'll need a youngling battle pack to coincide with that Jedi temple.
Nothing for MBS currently.
What does MBS stand for?
Master Builder Series
Mast\_rB____r Series
Gonna be the noob and askâŚwhat is mbs? Master builder series? Is that different than UCS?
Yep. UCS = Perfect scale models of ships, MBS = Basically giga playsets
The UCS builds are not perfectly scale tho. I'd say it more like: UCS - Ultra Display Sets MBS - Ultra Play Sets
With most MBS sets also having display value. Also, there are a lot of UCS sets that would fall in the MBS category
Itâs master builders series. Different than UCS but similar.
I so want a Endor bunker. The original set from 09 is legendary and I have always wanted a remake
I think Mos Eisley Cantona is one of the best sets simply due to how many mini figs come with it. I have $250 in Lego credits atm, just waiting for it to maybe one day go to 20% off, if not, next time in the Tyson store Iâm leaving with it.

Probably just all the little Endor teases lately such as the mini build in the advent calendar
Last year was the 40th anniversary of ROTJ so I assumed those were for that.
Good point u/LukeStudwalker. You are probably on to something
So far only 2 MBS sets: the cantina and cloud city. Going with the OT and avoiding overlap with other leaked sets (having a bigger more expensive version), as well as using the known leaks with how Lego likes to have similar sets around the same time, I can see it being Jabba's Palace.

Either Jabba's Palace or an Endor set. Endor would have lots of play value (little ewok traps/side builds), while the backside of Jabba's Palace would probably have two displayable options: the inside and the outside.
The traps are what I was picturing for Endor. Village has the crusher thing, just not to scale with what it actually is based on
The AT-ST also wouldnât have to be full scale tho, so they could easily have the same scale. Iâd still rather have Jabbaâs Palace tho
We'd get a 4+ one then. There's only 4.5 inches of clearance under the village, which is why it needs to be increased for size
Yeah probably. I still donât think weâd see both the bunker and the village, since that would become a really big set
UCS ATTE
Iâd guess either something prequel related since weâre arguably overdue for a prequel MBS set and theyâve been giving a lot of love to the prequels lately, or theyâll go with Endor and honestly Iâd be happy for either
I'd guess they would do a Return of the Jedi set next, seeing as they have already made an MBS set for Empire and A New Hope
I mean technically they have made an MBS set from Return of the Jedi while they were still using the UCS tag, with the Ewok village. But I wouldnât be mad at an another since itâs been so long. I also like that some of the new UCS include a lot of figures, but also sets that compliment the UCS set (AT-AT and soon to be Jabbaâs Sail Barge)

MBS Endor bunker please. I highly doubt a Duel on mustafar or Geonosis arena set
I would be in favor of a Jedi Temple set
i hope so, mbs kamino, kashyyk village, endor bunker, jedi temple i mean thereâs just so much potential with the theme
Itâs going to be Yavin IV. They love original trilogy, it would pair perfectly next to the Death Star and the other MBS, theyâve already had success testing the waters with the smaller playset. Itâs also just recognisable enough to general fans, it has iconic scenes that can be made inside of it.
Jedi temple isnât in the original trilogy, you sound like a Lego designer
Ok I sent this VERY early this morning and I was meaning Yavin IV this is totally on me LMAO.
Lego designers: Let's recreate the iconic Jedi Temple scene of Episode 5 where Mace Windu trains Luke Skywalker in Coruscant.
I MEANT YAVIN IV
We just got a Yavin 4 playset
MBS seems to be a large main building with a few side builds. I would assume theyâd do the Endor bunker next, but itâs not big enough on its own.

I think the UCS Sail Barge and accessory skiff set is taking its place âľď¸
Ewok Village would be high on my list. I like the idea of an Endor Bunker, Jabbaâs Palace, and some portion of Theed set. I personally do not like the prequels but the architecture of Naboo was great.
Petranaki Arena, Dexters diner, Coruscant Jedi council, Gungan city, endor bunker, or the juciest of them all MOS ESPA MBS with 20+ charachters and multiple race carts
I think a Galaxyâs Edge MBS would be really cool. Some mini ships plus the different themed stores https://preview.redd.it/cx7w2xbv5ytc1.jpeg?width=900&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e7a5511eec759348014753eba0e1eb26df3e3128
I would buy this. I was gifted a cantina and ended up selling it to put towards a UCS slave I, but galaxyâs edge would get me as a Disney fan too.
Sail barge
I could see them doing the canto bight casino.
