I think it looks great, and it is accurate to the real set they filmed in, but as a LEGO set, having an opening like that leaves so much room for dust build up which is a much bigger problem.
This should be the standard for master builder series sets. Honestly would be awesome to get the Endor bunker, geonosis arena, a better Hoth, maz castle, crait. So many scenes we could get
Fun Cantina facts: The official name of the Cantina is, Chalmun’s Cantina.Chalmun was a Wookiee who owned the bar. Wuhur’s parents were murdered by B1 Battle Droids,that’s why he doesn’t let them in. The Cantina was open 24/7 and had another server who worked at night. Figrin Dan and the Modal Nodes were only at the bar so they could make some money and get of Tattoine. Their first gig was at Jabba’s palace,but they were set free after revealing to Jabba that Greedo was scamming him. These facts are all canon and taken from the book,A Certain Point of view,it’s really good you should check it out.
Lego should make a set like this for every episode, or do a battle series. Make a huge battle set for each main battle such as hoth,endor, jakku, and a lot of other major ones
This is the first lego star wars set I've seen since I was a kid that actually makes me want to open my wallet. What an excellent job they did. The mileage I could've gotten out of this set as a kid would've been nuts. I hope for more sets like this in the future. A more imperial orientated set would get me for sure
You should do a big Tatooine MOC with the hangar, Cantina you have now and then the POD race arena! Most iconic Planet in the Star Wars Universe deserves a MOC from you💪🙌🙏🏼
If you want to keep the dust off, you can always collapse it down just to fit in the box and use the bags to store the figures and any small bits and pieces in. Then when want to look at again, you will be able reassemble it in just a few minutes. I do this all the time with my modular buildings and the Christmas sets every year.
This is my Absolute dreamset for SW. thanks to being the first Quality review about it i found . im 47 yo , i really needed this one for many years. great review ! This exact Bar..is where the Star Wars story Really began. it s beyond Amazing , this Lego box . Im going to go ahead and gift myself this Xmass gift this year !
Imagine the next MBS is Jabbas Palace and you get a full Rancor pit, Palace and Sail Barge with the Max Reebo band, some more aliens, Boba Fett and also a Sarlacc... to top it all off, Lego should release a 40$ Lars Homestead and a 30$ Tusken Raider camp.... imagine the combinations.
Why would Obi's hut fit into a cantina? The two locations are miles away from each other in the movie. It doesn't make sense. Who even thought that? xd lol
I can't say that this is the coolest thing I've ever seen because your entire channel is full of the coolest things I've ever seen. That Siege of Mandalore thing is just out of this world incredible. This set is still way cool. If 8 year old me could have seen this.......
I believe deep down in my heart that every Lego version of Han needs to use the revolver piece instead of the star wars style blaster pistol thanks to the lego star wars games
This is the best UCS set for the money in my opinion. As a 3.75” vintage collection collector I would lose my mind if they made a complete cantina building set for action figure scale. You Lego guys get pretty lucky sometimes.
Fun fact, that "Trandoshan" is actually a Saurin but they are very similar species and the same head mold that is used for Bossk's minifigure is used for Hrchek Kal Fas's, just in different colors.
@@SolidBrixStudios maybe u could expand on this set and make a whole mos eisley city, or maybe jabbas palace. What ever you do it will be awesome though.
I would recommend reading From a Certain Point of View. It’s a collection of side stories that roughly follow ANH, telling stories of the side characters. There’s more than a few about the bar patrons.
Haven't had lego in ages. I got the blacksmith during covid. I'm now trying to pick between this and Rivendell as my only other pickups for a few years.
You know what would be nice for Jedi/Sith minifigs? A piece that slides in between the legs and torso that has a clamp on the back hip that you can attach the lightsaber handle to. Be useful for minifig pistols too
17:45 yes I read Aurebesh it's not that hard it literally says "Cantina" lol you guessed it, David! Also, you should learn aurebesh, it's easy to remember and super useful, every aurebesh text you have ever seen in star wars clone wars was actually saying something regarding the scene, and in the Mandalore episodes in particular, when Ahsoka is teaching them meddling students, all the text behind her has awesome star wars school stuff that really helps with the world-building.
Just some fun facts (hopefully): Turns out Hrchek Kal Fas is not a Trandoshan (even though he uses the same head mold), he is in fact a Saurin (If you type his name into google or any search engine, you should get the wookiepedia page come up), Kabe is a Chadra-Fan and Kardue’Sai’Malloc (aka Labria) is a Devaronian (whose species is also seen in the Mandalorian episode 6 and in the game Star Wars the Old Republic (one of the bounty hunters companions))
Have only recently started again with Lego (2021) recently finished the Technic heavy tow (Rotator) and as this set is getting hard to get I grabbed one for $100 AUD off retail. Looks like a great kit, may think about one of the light kits but will see how I go with the build. Great review, cheers. 🇦🇺
I kinda wish your reviews were a little more in-depth and detailed! But BOY IS THAT AN AWESOME SET!!!!! Especially those minifigs😍 I personally feel they are the highlight of the set because if you already have the 2014 Cantina, the only thing you really need are the extra minifigs, not the extra tan pieces😂 But that's just my opinion!
i really see that little shop as being a cheaper alternative to that one in force awakens all you would have to do is get the minifig on ebay or something like that
The plate over the entrance says "Cantina" in Aurebesh, which is the name of the Star Wars font. A funny detail, in the entrance area is a small sticker with an image of R2-D2 and C-3PO with a "Wanted" writing, also in Aurebesh. It makes sense, since they are the droids the EMpire is looking for.
I was fortunate enough to get my hands on this set one month before it completely retired in 2024 even though I don’t regret buying it and am still very excited to see what it’s like since I ordered it so late and just happened to live in 🇨🇦 I ended up having to pay 565$💵 for it’ but thankfully I didn’t miss out on what appears is going to be a great set to add to my collection’
I wish that for this set, they would have brought back the sand colored base plates, I make stop motions and I want to get this to use as one of the sets in the series, but that means I would have to get a bunch of smaller sand colored plates instead of just getting a couple sand colored base plates
I got this set on wed and mid way through build. So far love the design and look, my only gripe is having seen all these vids/photos of the finished build just doesn’t seem you get very much for your money. Is very small compared to other builds
Hey, I'm able to pick this up for 308 euros at retail, from which I only need to pay like 150 (the rest is chores and christmas gifts), do you think it's worth it if I myself need to only spend 150?

The roof having the open spaces is completely accurate to the Cantina in the film, Lego actually nailed it on that.
I think it looks great, and it is accurate to the real set they filmed in, but as a LEGO set, having an opening like that leaves so much room for dust build up which is a much bigger problem.
Solid Brix Studios OH NO I DIDNT THINK OF THAT 😟
Solid Brix Studios you might’ve just pulled me away from this set with that, I can’t stand dust.
Kai Burnett use putty and take plastic wrap and stick it to the roof/rafters underneath. It’ll look like it’s still open and you could see under it
DPG6 992 oh shoot I just replied saying the same thing, great minds think alike
This should be the standard for master builder series sets. Honestly would be awesome to get the Endor bunker, geonosis arena, a better Hoth, maz castle, crait. So many scenes we could get
The jedi temple, Kamino, a bigger Scariff, Mos Espa, Naboo, Otoh Gunga, Coruscant, Mustafar, Exegol, Yavin, Starkiller base, Kessel, Kashyyyk, Mandalore, ...
Kleenex,Cif,Nutella,Domestos..so many..

@@anomalocaris1513not as cool imo
I just like the fact that this thing is minifigure scale, or at least appears to be. I never liked when iconic locations/ships get scaled too small.
Obi wan’s hut is in a different part of tatooine so I’m not surprised it doesn’t connect
Yeah, it was on a cliff overlooking Mos Eisley, right?
You can connect it, all you need is one or two extra 1×1 tan bricks.
y a b o i for sure, but lego didn’t make it so that you Would
@@KerioFive fair. Either way, it is pretty easy to connect if you have the parts.
y a b o i if I got Mos Eisley, I would definitely want Obi Wan’s hut in there somewhere too
It's official lego makes way better sets from the original trilogy than the prequels.
I frecking love this it is legit perfect.
For Your next MOC, You should make full Mos Eisley. I know it isn't battle scene, but I think it would be amazing moc, including Cantina

The Aurebesh on the Imperial Cargo Crate reads "CARGO" and above the entrance door, it does in fact read "CANTINA", David!:)
don't kill me but this set makes me love the new stormtrooper SO much
Man you need to do something about how you showcase mini figures, feels like I'm looking at them during an earthquake.
2:40 old ben's hut doesn't fit it because the guy is a hermit, and its hut isn't located in the city, much less next to the cantina,,,

We need a master builder Jabba’s palace! With the whole Max Rebo band!
i really see that little shop as being a cheaper alternative to that one in force awakens all you would have to do is get the minifig on ebay or something like that
I would have 100% bought this if it werent for the previous Mos Eisley set, be a bit silly to double up when even that smaller set was still fantastic
Nah double up and you’ll have a larger spaceport setting
You nailed this review David :)

my favorite part is the han solo hotdog stand
The thing that makes me mad is that price point, it’s stupidly expensive, it does look good though
LEGO is always stupidly overpriced
The little box with the electrobinoculars says "cargo" written in Aurebesh
Also cool is that it not only works for episode 4 but also makes its apperance in the mandalorian.
What a great set! Had so much fun building this one!
I really hope at some point we get a Black Spire Outpost set similar to this.

I thought that aswell. With the millennium falcon, it a massive build compared to this, more expensive but much bigger
the imperial crate says cargo and the sign of the door says cantina im sure you already figured it out but im just saying incase anyone wants to know
I don’t think that new room is canon, i believe it was just filled in for the toy
David if you watch the movie, the roof actually look like that.
The interior is really cool but I don’t think that the exterior really makes this set worth over 300 bucks
You could always make your own roof to put over the open part, love the vids man
That looks super freaking awesome!
This set is in the top 3 of my bucket list.
That set is big!!
This set looks great! I recent,y bought it but have never built it yet as I’m building a different set
I just finished building it and thought that its a very cool set!
Do any of you think LEGO would be able to make a mold for Han's blaster, and just choose not to. Or do you think they wouldn't be able to yet?
Honestly to me dust adds character to lego sets. The cantina is also on tatooine so honestly it doesn’t have to be clean in the slightest
The printed box says cargo on the side, just so you know, I want this set even though I know I won't ever get it. Great video
great video! they did confirm that Han shot first btw :)
