    I've commented this on other vids and I'll say it again. The biggest thing holding this set back is the lackluster minifigs. The fat bib fortuna and lack of dual molded 3PO are the biggest issues for me. If they went all out and had as many figs as the cantina then I'd say it would be worth $500. There are a ton of really cool and unique aliens in this scene like Yak Face, Ishi Tib, ugnaught, snaggletooth, J'Quille, Weequay, Tanus Spijek, Saurian, Jawa's, even Bossk. As well as another really cool astromech R2-S4M. For a set like this where there's so much interior and exterior space to fill, they really could've done better for the price.

      I disagree this set is mainly focused on Jabba and his Ship and it doesn't focus on Minifigures there's much more to LEGO than that.
      The GWP is accurate to what the scene is which is why the AT-AT had a Lightsaber GWP.
      Price per piece is not relevant here it never matters not only does this use big pieces but it's relied on Disney Tax and the expensive cloth Sail pieces
      It also includes a stand for the minifigures which I did with my Sonic The Hedgehog Minifigures so I love that LEGO is doing the same idea as me.
      500 bucks is alot for this economy but be honest your buying the set for the Sail Barge the absolute size at 2 foot 6 inches is massive and not the Minifigures they are irrelevant to the set and we should feel spoiled personally me I feel like a spoiled child I want LEGO to do a Playset of Jabba's Sail Barge for $150 soon
      This set should stay at 500 bucks I am 17 but I'm willing to work as hard as I can for it because my passion is far too much to the ordinary consumer but on Oct 1st. I will be first in line and take the set with pride and care for it.

I partially agree with what you're saying, but if the set was only about Jabba it would've only come with one or two figs like most other UCS sets. They easily could have cut less corners on the minifigs here. Personally I wish they would have just done a master builder series Jabba's Palace instead with the same amount of figs as the Cantina.

It’s already ever so slightly larger than mini figure scale. And I have that star destroyer, and you know what? Because it’s so freaking big it’s an absolute bitch to have enough space to display it. This current sail barge is already long enough to the point where it’s pushing the limits of most normal sized shelves. Making it that much bigger would also likely up the piece count considerably to the point where it becomes even less accessible to buyers price wise.

    I kind of felt this way about Barad Dur (huge LOTR fan) because of the lackluster minifigs. Sure Sauron, and the Mouth of Sauron are great. But a reused Frodo and Sam from Rivendell? - when clearly Lego should have made them in their Mordor outfits and worn looks (something the Lego LOTR game from 2012 actually did). And then gollum just looks weird. I bought it because I can’t say no to LOTR but the figures were way more discouraging for me than what most people seemed to think. Reminds me of this set a bit.

Their bricks have much smaller moulding issues, come with less scratches, better color quality, hold together much better and give you much much more satisfaction when building 😊. In all fairness, the surface of Lego tiles is still up there, though the rest is not.

    Really expensive, looks great, love the new Leia except maybe for the swimming trunks, a rather bland, but fairly detailed interior, C3PO should be the highest quality one available, disappointed by the low quality of the barge figurines (Vizam, Kithaaba, Woof) and the relatively small number of figurines overall. Space being an issue, I just purchased the older playset for 229€ and I feel quite happy and a bit relieved by my decision.

    If you're saying this is small. I highly recommend you actually look at the sail barge in the movie. In terms of general minfigure scale dimensions, this thing is perfect. The real sail barge is not all that big. Its the real world equivalent of a yacht and they're not generally that big. This set is 3 inches shorter than the millennium falcon which is massive. This is a large set. And does not seem to use a lot of teensy weensy pieces like you see in rivendell and the avengers tower. Not to mention the huge sail pieces. This is better than any moc I have seen made of the sail barge. Its more to scale. However, they should have done a little better with the side paneling. And we should have gotten at least a few more minifigures. But do not compare apples to oranges. I would say this is a solid 450 set based off of current lego stats. For 500 we should have gotten at least a skiff and a few more minifigures, but overall I feel 500 is okay. Some reports were saying it was gonna be 550 which is definitely stretching it. As I said before, I recommend actually looking at the sail barge in the movie and look at the people standing on the deck.

The only way you could even justify this price tag is if you merged the sarlac pit set and added a 2nd desert skiff to complete the scene.

    I love this set, I think it’s perfectly fine. Little expensive but that’s okay, I love this set and I will get it day of release. Sorry guys. This video is way too much hate.. man way too much hate. Be thankful.. you’ll be so much happier in life

      I'm glad you love it! I'm not full of hate, I was just very excited for this set and it let me down a lot. If we ignore issues to be "much happier" LEGO will never learn and just churn out bad product. Gotta speak with our accounts and wallets that it's not up to par.

      @@BrickologyProductions good take. I’m with ya, I understand. It had a lot of hype so I can see the disappointment for some people you’re right

    Overpriced! Too many studs showing that sail barge should be silky smooth

    I have to wonder if suggesting a mini figure isn’t skimpy enough should raise some flags.
