@Dat Pancake i have officially become a boomer at 22... BAhck en Mah dae... back in my day figures were cool but the main reason why someone bought a set and its worth was the set it self... the od star destroyer, was fragil but it was huge and amazing... further along the og sail barge was cool it had jabba and luke but the main foce behind it was the cool parts it used for the upper and lower deck. Now all i see on yt shorts is: figure this figure that. Man i miss the days where sets and peices were also a part of the cool factor and instead of just everyone clambering about arm printing Wait if you are joking then thats also sad that we live in a day where it becomes hard to tell from reality and fiction
@@okayegg4597Bro, Lego sells the most overpriced toys on the market today. 87 pieces of plastics, no matter the size or quality of the plastics, is not worth $40 to anybody who has other things they need to buy aside from Lego. The problem is Lego and some of their fanatics will try and justify the pricing of the product. The fanatics do this because they are completely in love with Lego, and the Lego guys do this because the fanatics, whether happy or unhappy about the prices, buy the toys anyway.
I mean it is a 4+ set with mostly bigger parts (those brown walls, the at-st legs etc) so you can't always go of price per piece. Definitely at least $10 overpriced but not as bad as some recent sets like Cad Banes ship that retailed at $170! o.o
My big question as someone who works for walmart and has visited 100+ walmarts: WHY HAVENT THEY CLEARANCED IT!? Literally every store I visit has 30 of these on the shelf just collecting dust. Clearance it for 10 bucks and we might buy it walmart
Exactly why I buy “off brand” legos… just as good… at 1/10th the price… the brand doesn’t always matter when the name itself makes the price inflate by so much.
@@Edwardify Exactly, as long as you’re careful you can always find a better product for less. I’ve found that Temu has the best selection of legos for cheap, and my brother couldn’t even tell they weren’t Lego brand Lego until I told him and he saw that 1 of the studs on some of the blocks had that fill spot in it that’s normally associated with offbrands.
i second that went to a lego store and was almost about to buy it but changed my mind when I saw the piece count.For the same price it's better to invest in a dark trooper attack set or lego hoth at-st
This is why you wait for them to discount if something is too expensive and isn’t that high in demand yet you want it, you play the waiting game until they mark it down reasonable enough to you, yet if they don’t then just don’t bother unless you really want to pay the price for it
The reason for its high price to brick ratio is the AT-ST build itself. It uses these large custom parts that were clearly designed for this set only, unlike every other normal brick. This drives manufacturing price through the roof, hence the expensive price tag. Its the only way lego could sell it and make a profit
Win/Win for Lego tbh because they already sell it wholesale to Walmart and other retailers and it sits on THEIR shelves, not Lego’s. They can basically print whatever they want right now.
All of the sets in the 4+ line have a high price/piece ratio. It’s because of the special chunky parts they have to make for the 4-year olds, and can’t easily use in other sets. It’s high priced, but does include 3 minifigs, which retail at $5 a piece (and you can’t buy SW ones separately). Another $5 for the little stump, maybe, and then the $20 AT-ST with the special parts is what drives up the price. Every “4+” set is like that.
I actually got this at one of the local targets and it wasn’t 30 dollars but like 15 or 20 bucks. It’s a pretty decent set, get a free Ewok and Scout Trooper out of it so it was worth it for me and for my LEGO Star Wars OG trilogy collection. Having a small AT-ST is pretty cool too
This is because they used specific solid bricks such as base to simplify the assembly, that are commonly made out of smaller bricks in other sets, and the mould for the new lego peace is extremely expensive
I was going to get it for the ewok, but it costs way too much! It just shows you what Lego thinks they can do with all the overpriced sets they have today!
You also have to consider specialized pieces, size of the finished build, and the minifigures. I could see this going for $20 given the build size and the minifigures included. Definitely not $35 though
Yeah, I think when you look think about it it’s actually a really good set. 1. It’s the only set you can currently find an Ewok minifigure in. 2. The Scout Trooper with printed legs was exclusive to this until the endor speeder bike chase, but that’s a $90 set and you still only get one Scout with it. 3. The imperial officer is a pretty good figure too. Yes the rest of it isn’t great but if you can find it for the right price it’s unbelievable value. I mean the minifigures included in the set currently go for around £4, £6 and £6 each. And my local supermarche here in the U.K. recently had a load of these sets on clearance for only £13.95 (compared to the U.K. retail of £29.99). So if you can find it on discount cheap enough, this set is a bargain!
@@C-MOON-PZVthe scout trooper in this set is sw1229. The one in the snow trooper battle pack is sw1182. Two different figures. They didn’t just throw black arms on the trooper for this set, it has a unique print because it has black detailing on the body print whereas the snow trooper battle pack scout has grey detailing on the body print- hence this scout trooper is unique as it’s only available in this set and likewise the Hoth scout trooper is unique because it’s only available in the snow trooper battle pack.
when i was a kid i remember having a set that was like this but without the at-st and it had another ewok with like a glider, and i’m pretty sure it was $7.99 back then
All of the Lego Star Wars sets recently have been like 10 to 20 over price, it’s not like they lost money if they lower the price the lose money when the price is so high nobody buys the set
I miss when legos were an affordable form of entertainment. I mean granted the lego sets always appreciated very quickly, but now new sets are plainly too much for me to justify buying :(
The price is crap I agree with that but hot take: it’s not that bad the price is that bad but the set isn’t that bad. The at-at is very blocky but the speeder is pretty cool and the mini figs r also okay and the tree thing is… decent? My point is it’s decent but it’s not that bad. If I have the money and I don’t want anything else I might get it but if there’s other better sets I’ll get those. You can hate me all you want but just know I didn’t say it’s the best set of the century. If I was to give it a rating I’d give it a 4 or 5 maybe.
That isn't Lego pricing that set; that is Disney pricing that set. Any sets that Lego sells with a Disney IP are going to be overpriced and over hyped. I often notice at my local store that the Star Wars sets are often the least purchased among many other Disney sets because their prices are twice to three times as much as the regular Lego themed sets. That isn't Lego pricing; that is totally House of Mouse pricing, and Disney loves to overprice everything they own. I kid you not; go to Universal Orlando and spend a day there and total your finances. Then go to Disney World and compare the prices there; you will never go to Disney again after you see the hole in your wallet.
I wonder what actually is Lego’s justification for that price? Why did they have to price it at that. What numbers did they see that made them do that. This is genuinely so fascinating to me
Same, it looks pretty cool for a $10 or $15 set. Even $20 if you’re pushing it but other than that it just looks like another cool set of Legos that are NOT worth buying.
I mean the standard price for a minifig is about $5 now. Not saying I'd buy it at the price but 3 figures and a few bricks $20-25 doesn't seem crazy...
My question is, why, out of all the Lego Star Wars sets, is this set that is catered for little children so overpriced? Is it intentional? Or is it an oversight that somehow flew over Lego’s heads?
Well. I'm sorry but to me have you not seen the build like the 8080 is worse than I believe the series was the microfighters I think they released one and I mean to put a minifigure in it so it looked kind of atrocious but I mean I didn't mind it because it wasn't just a two-block head
30+ dollars for a 4+ set is crazy
You'd rather get caught stealing then paying 30 for that shit lmao
There was a really good batman set that was 4+ but it was like $50, its unfortunate because it had an amazing Joker and Harley Quinn minifigure
Well, all 4+ sets are that way with their larger pieces, usually unique molds and printed pieces
Called inflation my guy
2.15 per piece! It’s crazy
I don’t know about that 😂
40 cents per piece
or like 2.15 pieces per dollar
@@goop04 All I know that it's expensive
The x wing poly bag has 87 pieces as well and it costs $5. Would you rather 87 pieces for $5 or 87 pieces for $35?
The fact that Kenobi’s ship was like $30 and has like triple the pieces and the same amount of minifigures is just crazy
That’s crazy, the price to piece ratio is more than any CMF price to piece ratio.
Its a set i honestly want for all the characters because they are awesome but that price is just horrendous
Yea. It sucks because from what I know, that is the first ewok in a few years
Should be like $10
real
tbh i think an alright price for it would be 25 dollars you get an ewok and an at st pilot

15 is good imo
This is the kind of set that would only get a parts list in the mid-2000s LEGO Magazine, instead of the paragraph-long descriptions.
It should've been illegal for them to charge that much for an 87 piece set...
That has the same amount of pieces as this year’s x wing poly bag, no joke both 87 pieces each, $5 vs $35 I would take 87 pieces for $5 any day
@onetwothreesixeight Yet they still include smaller pieces like the minifigs that a toddler can still easily choke on...
Yea. 30 dollars should be the price a year after retirement. Not while ON SHELVES!

I go to Walmart a bunch to get lego and every other time I go the only set there is that thing. I have began to hate it a lot.
Agreed 😂💯
My grandma bought this for me after learning that my lego endor moc didnt have an ewok
Just wait for it to go on clearance and buy their entire stock for the price of one of these regular
bro the price is like 6x for its value
I got it for my 5 year old, she built it herself and was super happy. That was worth it to me.

@@JSchroederee The quality control is fine for the offbrand I’ve found, so literally 0 downsides for me.
Yea. Just got a 750 peice MAX set for 30 dollars. That crap would cost 80 dollars if it was lego.
Lego Star Wars prices are like Venezuela inflation right now
At this point you should just get the 501st battle pack that some how has more pieces
That price is a crime.
Should see the prices in canada, some places have it for 60.
Oh hell no.
Hmmm yes would you like to have almost any video game of your choice or 87 lego pieces
@@scaleos8370 video game :,)
i second that went to a lego store and was almost about to buy it but changed my mind when I saw the piece count.For the same price it's better to invest in a dark trooper attack set or lego hoth at-st
Really hope this set goes on sale soon, should have just been considered a battle pack like the 501st
Im sorry 34 bucks? Lego and Walmart must be high as a kite if they think anyone would pay that much for a set with so few pieces.
Reminds me of how stores here still have that one Rogue One buildable figure years after its production stopped
The AT-ST build reminds me of the OG 7127 set I had as a kid

I always wanted a Lego Ewok minifigure as a kid
That price makes me want to literally cry
Believe me I was playing with Legos back in the late 70 South a 2000 s still kind of new to me
i once saw a five piece set for twenty dollars in a Christmas catalog…
💀
My jaw dropped when you revealed the piece-price ratio. What is Lego thinking?
I only like the scout trooper. But it's cool that they attempted to make an Endor set.
decent set MID price
I was even dumbfounded by the price, but it was on clearance for $17 at my Walmart
This is because they used specific solid bricks such as base to simplify the assembly, that are commonly made out of smaller bricks in other sets, and the mould for the new lego peace is extremely expensive
Lego had a price raise but jeez
You could buy a Lego advent calendar for that price
Shotties like a melody in mai head
It’s 4 dollars more than the Lego 2021 tie fighter when it first released💀
Looks like a $15 set from the mid 2000’s I still see em at my target too lol
God! I wish Lego playsets weren't so goddamn expensive.
Def not $10, but $20 would have been nice to see
It's an awesome lego set, but it's the worst
When you said overpriced I thought your meant 15 or 20 dollars, but 35?. Thats insane.
Picked it up on sale for ~25$ dollars. I still feel ripped off lol but I needed that scout trooper and at-st driver in my collection
Probably felt dissapointed when you saw the snow trooper battle pack.

There’s a liquidation outlet in LA where you can get them for $5
Cant just say that and not drop the name
@Brobdingnagian Loaph there’s a lot of them lol. In what area are you located in?
While you wait you should get 3 and combine them.
Good mini figs but not a great build and for 35 dollars!? That’s insane!
30 dollars, for 87 pieces that's targeted towards 4+ is absurd
It costs $5 less than the hoth AT-ST which is a full sized AT-ST with the same amount of Minifigures plus a probe droid
Man i remember back in the day where that would have only been like $5.
I feel like a boomer now... i am not even 23 yet... oh god i am turning into a 90s kid

Same. I kind of wanted it for some of the minifigs and the build looked fun for what it is. But the pricing was just way off.
i actually have 2 of them and i used the catapult in the set for a portable catapult for my small army of Lego knights
They are 4+ sets those are always more expensive because they use no stickers and sometimes unique parts (large)
15-20 should be a reasonable price
I think it should’ve came with one more minifigure, either an Endor Rebel trooper or Chewbacca

it be cheaper to buy part from lego part from lego factory to build a lego set then from a retail store. you can buy batch of lego for a discount.
