Hey y'all! technically I didnt lie at the start of the video - this is NOT an hour long review! Its a 40 something minute review and a 20 something minute instructional video :) Skip to the chapter for instructions if that's all you're interested in and thank you to this video's Patron of the hour BrickCats! Go give him a follow on youtube or insta, he's great. Enjoy!
I specifically remember the old Max Revo having a matte head and a slightly lighter head than the plastic of the torso, so the new one's head is just a slightly improved color match for the torso
The moment I saw the barge I knew I was going to extend the masts on this bad boy. You can see the deck better and add more playability. I think I'm just going to extend the Mast by 1 more brown tube bits. Great video, keep up the good work.
This set should have been a MBS set with more and better figures. Love to see a rework of the front of the previous playscale barge to open up that wasted space in the front it has being built-up.
Ive bought the Barge at day one. I Like your modifications very much. Thanks for your Nice Creative work. Will add them to my Modell without Leia changes, because i hate Stickers! Best wishes! 😊
I don't have the set but the extra 2x2 round plates on the inside of the panel could just be there to assist in building when you put it on a flat surface.
That one torch is straight on the official images. I think the 2x3 tan plates should be a bit higher up to avoid them colliding. I think my main issue with this set is the minifigures. There should be twice as many (so many named characters from the scene have never been made - Kithaba felt like a bit of a wasted slot to me since he was made before and they could've made Barada instead if they wanted a Klatooinian), especially when you compare with the Mos Eisley Cantina, and those that were included have issues (Bib's lekku, Leia and C-3PO's legs, Salacious's eyes). My only real complaint about the model itself though is it not having that hatch Luke pulls a guard out of so it's nice to see you were able to add that!
It was a hookah in Jabba’s throne room, but in the sail barge it was a communication device! It projects his voice out of the loud speakers up on the deck :)
@@2bricks Both C3PO and Jabba used it when Luke was on the plank, and Leia smashed it and the control panel after killing Jabba, but yes no hookah on the barge. Thanks for the tips.
I would wait for a discount, but it seems the barge is a lego (online) store exclusive again, so don't think there will be discounts. Probably going to make it my May 4th buy then, I still have a bunch of VIP points and part of a gift card that should make it a bit more doable. Going to pick up the skiff in the end of year sales. Need to remember to come back to this video to do the mods. 😀
I like your mods, have some pieces on the way to incorporate them! I have already increased the sail masts, but one thing I have decided to do was add roughly 100 black 2x1 grille pieces on the side and bow exterior panels to cover some studs but still provide additional texture.
Funny how u said to use it as a base for all ur tatooine figures, that’s what I’m doing with my 2013 barge rn. Already made a desert diorama for the new skiff & sarlaac just saving for the new barge rn, so expensive😭

@@ArcherJLady nice! It’s super hard to tell if it’s *supposed* to be new, and I’ll be interested to see what brickset classifies it as!
As always ) awesome job, the barge looks more alive with your improvements
@@antonstepanov488 ahh thank you!!!

@@fractalelf7760 I agree! More figs really would have made this

Thanks very much I’m glad to hear the video can be of use to those who already bought the thing!!!
You have such a great eye for these changes. You’ve made it closer to worth it’s inflated price.
Well done - agree with all your thoughts! I’m for sure gonna raise the sails - was thinking about that anyway but you gave me the inspiration.
@@Wolfpackn8 awesome!! Thank you!

@@JekPorkbricks hmm, I guess that could be it! Still odd though
Thank you for showing how to modify the sail barge, I'm going to go a little deeper with modifying once I get mine :)
@@shemarboyce8714 nice!! Go crazy, yeah it’s an awesome base model for sure!
@@2bricks It is, It's going to be quite pricey for the same parts you mentioned but I've waited years for a good Jabba's Sail Barge.

Thanks so much! I definitely probably did something wrong in the build haha. Totally agree about the minifigs.
That old timey phone thing was actually a hookah!

@@waynesbutler7834 thanks! and yes you are correct!
The sails clearly don't have any detailing on the top, I plan on turning mine so the side without the pattern is facing up :)
Yay! Accuracy for the win!

@@Sco3000 awesome!! I’m sure it looks great!!
@@2bricks Thanks, I'm also about to start building your two N1 Starfighter mocs.

Damn! I bet it’s gonna look amazing though!
