The fact that the Death Star had one thousand plus more pieces and was $100 less and had double the minifigures, just shows how crazy Lego has gone up in price in recent years. This set is great, but is way over priced and this price point is pricing out so many people in the hobby.
@@Paul-gy7dnsame here. Pre pandemic car prices seemed like a lot but now I just feel lucky I got my car before and paid off just as the pandemic was starting. I don’t think people understand these price hikes are all related. Inflation and the economy is a real problem for people but the fact I can still afford midsize Legos reminds me I’m a lucky person.
@@reptongeek at least Lego is smart and has more older movie things than Disney SW… but I gotta agree with you that maybe it is that Disney could have increased its licensing to make money. I’m not even a big SW fan but I like to collect some of these because I like Space Sci-fi things, the Lego consumer market must be better for them than other markets.
$500...that's pretty wild. I think $450.00 would have been a better price point. The figs selection when you compare it to the Sarlac pitt set is...disheartening. IMO both of these sets should be available as a combo scene for the $500.00 price point.
So, its not completely Lego. The value of the dollar has dropped. A head of lettuce cost .89 USD in 2020, it now costs 1.89 USD. If we keep with that convention this is basically $350 w/ inflation multiplier.
For $500, this set should have included the entire new Desert Skiff and Sarlacc Pit set, instead of a separate $80 set... With those additional 500 parts and 6 Minifigures, this would be better value.
I own a Jabba sail barge older than your smaller one, from the 2000s. It came with the skiff and sarlacc pit, Boba Fett, Han Solo, Luke Skywalker, Lando in his disguise, one Gamorrean guard, Leia, Jabba and R2D2.
Clever way of doing Yoda's Lightsaber without the plaque! Only way I can justify the price of the UCS Jabba's Sail Barge is if I factor in the day 1 Luke's Lightsaber gwp. Otherwise I'd stay away from it when Rivendell & Avengers' Tower are easily better for the same price.
Complaining about price is silly. Lego sets are priced accordingly, or else they wouldn't sell (which isn't the case with the release of their financials recently). Lego isn't an essential item like food/water, etc. It's a toy, and Lego doesn't have a responsibility to ensure everyone can afford their product. Also, I'm 42 and remember sets being expensive when I was a kid and my mom buying next year's Lego presents during the after Christmas sales. So, this isn't a new phenomenon. If Lego was too expensive, sales would drop and they would have to adjust accordingly.
Supply and demand. Lego knows the prior models of the sail barge went for insane after market prices, so they know people are willing to buy this specific piece of Star Wars memorabilia at a high MSRP regardless of piece count, minifig count, etc. If no one bought this set the day it launched, lego would be forced to put it on sale to a more reasonable price. But it will sell, & they know that
I always wonder if lego actually realises that there are toy or things to buy with 500.- that are actually worth that price compared to licensed brick sets
I always wonder if “lego fans” (those here, you) actually realises that lego is NOT just a toy, they are collectors items… hence the title “ultimate collectors series” built entirely for adults, under the adults welcome brand label…… They are not toys…. Their toys are completely different products
@@samwalker8893 yeah since my main language isnt english i didnt bother writing toys or things but since i am an adult and can definitely read what it says on the box…. my main point since looking back in to lego a couple years back it just is pretty obivious that there are things they could add or improve so easily for that type of set with probably one of the biggest fanbase for the theme but they dont it sometimes feels like they dont even care and i am not talking about the designers or this specific set but sets in that type of prize segment
Some pretty awesome sets and a nice video. In the review or a separate video can you see how the barge fits in a billy? I’m interested because both are around the 30 inches mark
LEGO seems to have bumped any set between $30-$150 by $10, $160-$230 by $20 and anything over the $260 mark by about $50 add on top of that any IP tax and people really that have claimed that LEGO is expensive really are correct in their position. I'm being pretty selective around the themes I add to my collection these days - I let my son with his Star Wars LEGO collection take the butt kicking - even traditional Disney isn't as bad as the Star Wars tax.
$650CAD... oof. Whelp, I already bought the Desert Skiff & Sarlacc Pit so I guess I'm all in now. I will say that with the included Lightsaber as a GWP it does bring the hurt down quite a bit. Yoda's goes for a pretty penny on the secondary market and it is the version from my favourite Star Wars movie. Now we wait for the X-Mansion price and for me to get a second job!
Strategy of Lego: step 1: Over price the set at launch... Step 2: Still over price the set with a 20% sale so the customer thinks they're getting a good deal. You're getting ripped off on both cases lol
For $500 they could have thrown a bit more detail on that front end, or covered all the exposed studs with some paneling to make it look better. That small difference to the build would make a huge difference on display, and might have helped justify that price a lot more. Ships like this look great until you remember how much they actually cost, then they just feel super underwhelming. As for the $40 battle pack, I don't even know what to say about that since people are practically happy to pay anything once a few mini figures are thrown in. Collectors have really ruined these sets for the kids who want to play with them rather than collect and treat them like an investment. $40 for something that looks like a promotional giveaway or one of those $20 sets from the Lego City series.
Yep - expensive for sure - people (myself included) will pay the price (but not liking it) - chances for the Sarlacc Pit coming down in price any time soon is slim to none. As others have said the Sarlacc set, the GWP should have been included in the five hundred buck price tag. At this point I'll have to sell a kidney or get another job just to afford this stuff.
I’ve never gone after a ucs set with GWP. How long you it’ll be available for? I might not be able to buy till oct 4th. Do u think the GWP will be gone by then?
Selling a lot of my LEGO… cutting down to just Harry Potter & Lord Of The Rings. After watching this, I now want to collect Star Wars 🤦🏻 LEGO is a money pit 😭
Seriously come on dude you can't really complain about a water damaged box. What do you want for free. I mean alot of people have got to spend alot of hard earned money on this set. Unless you are part of LAN.
You should look up the story of QT-KT. Just as a warning, you'll probably cry. Edit: Apparently I have it confused with R2-KT. But I believe QT-KT is based off it. Still something you should check out.
Wow they really make you buy the skiffs separate to get the minifigures that should come with this. Yes it pairs great… but that set is no where near worth the value. Maybe if they threw in the Skiff and Sarlac with this at the price point it’d be worth jt
7:38 I mean to be fair to Lego, she doesn’t have side of leg covering in the movie. They’re just trying to make it more kid appropriate if the minifirgure finds its way away from the set
It’s not lazy either. It would’ve been much easier to just have the printing on the front but they dual molded it specifically to give her side leg covering.
I always think it's funny when the reviews make it out after the leaks lol This set is the ucs hogwarts express for me. If I can get it on a good sale, sure. Otherwise I can pass.
@@Bricksie I understand, I'm just saying Lego should ship it's ambassadors stuff protected much better than it does so it doesn't get damaged on the way. It doesn't really make sense to present crushed boxes of new products. I know it's 100% Lego's fault, and not trying to be so negative but it's just been something that grinds my gears how they have been doing it for years.
@@sbranham314 why are you so negative ? I'm thinking about reporting you to youtube authorities for too much negativity as it can hurt feelings of some of the Bricksie's audience. Have you ever considered that ?
Yes another one seen few weeks back about it. .Lego set s that thay ree make .I not into destiny bounty I like the one with 2 red dragon heads add and the oridganal first one.
Sorry dude. But you can't seriously complain about receiving a water damaged set from lego. What do you want for free. Alot of people have to spend there hard earned money to buy this set. Unless your a LAN member.
Curious when it was received? Not built? Not seeing any other lan reviewers with a built set review yet--strange, I expected at least 2 the morning of planned announcement, Solid Brix and you. Maybe even a third. Did they send it yesterday? The price point is dog feces, no way around it. I'll find on heavy discount, somewhere, in the next 6 months. No way Lego getting $500 from me for this. And it is grossly under-tiled--way too many studs on the shell of the ship.
Here before: "If you think $500 is too expensive just dont buy it! Lol" - people who have mommy & daddy buy their LEGOs still Id pay $500 if this included the sarlac pit & desert skiff sets with their mini figs. Otherwise this is worth $350 imo
So, if I spend $500, I don't even get the full thing? I need to spend $80 more to get all the minifigs in the scene, the skiff and the Sarlacc 'mound'. Plus, I would get the one minifig with side leg prints that absolutely didn't need side leg prints? 11 minifigs for this set is atrocius. This should have been like the Mos Eisley cantina set, stuff with minifigs. No, thank you.
I started this hobby with the 2006 version, and now I’m officially ending it with this one. I got $300 of VIP points so my purchase is somewhat justified, but I’m done once I get it. This hobby has increasingly become unbelievably expensive, to the point where I can’t afford it anymore. They’ve officially lost me as a continuing consumer.

Yea crazy that Lego’s prices are going up just like everything else. My exact car now costs $6000 more if I was gonna to buy a 2024. Mines a 2021. So…

They must have sent it via sail boat with the box as the actual boat!
That's such a cruel GWP. I'd purchase that on its own in a heartbeat.
They really dropped your package into the sarlacc pit huh 😭
Cool set but should’ve been €400
Wow, that set is massive! I love sets in minifig scale so they did this justice for sure
The other rebel/stormtrooper set is two of the original battle packs remade it’s pretty cool. I have the OG ones

I think there’s no good reason why C-3PO doesn’t have dual molded legs in a $500 set
Sir it's not Slave Leia. It's Starship Leia.
so this video is basically just a box review
Cool box glad I watched and didn’t even see it built

This man has every Lego set known to man.Jabbas sail barge is a good set though but the apart from the cost cuts

Hi Bricksie.
Wonderful additions to your Sky Wars Collection!
will be getting 2!!!
YOOOOOOO I'm Never this early, Loved the video. And that is never coming apart without a few lost brown pieces 😭
Really excited about this one, always wanted a sail barge. Not sure if the GWP warrants a day 1 purchase though - will have to think!

CRAZY nice set!...way to pricey but still amazing. Not only is it massive it's super detailed inside. Be safe and well!
Is the max rebo figure the exact same mould and colour to the 2013 one?
Not worth more than 400$ , soon set get discounted...😂

hey bricksie! what are the dimensions of Barge's box? I'm planning to buy it during the trip and idk if it's gonna count as carry on 😃
October is my birthday month… i now know what my biethday gift will be !!! 🎉🎉🎉
Wonder how much it weighs
40755 looks like a Starship Troopers design to me, quite odd
Boxes are ruined but free is free 😂
Looks massive set awesome minifigs cant wait for you to build it great preview 🍕

holly you actually got that set. cool
So will this set be available early to insider's? For example can insider's go to the Lego store Oct 01st and get this set?
It looks really interesting but really expensive. Sad that the gwp is only with that. Tbh my plan for UCS set what i want to buy is the Venator
That's a cracking set fella. Maybe it will have to go on the UCS display in the middle
I was just thinking my eyes were blurry…. But no the boxes are really warped lol love the set s tfs

Can you call TLG to give you a replacement box set
Woohoo!!! That gwp.....🔥
you are in a position to decry a disgusting price for such a pitiful set but you instead go about measuring your shelf. Forget lego. Thieves.
Agreed. A lot of reviews are just selling videos instead. Tiago made a great and honest review.
they cant keep getting away with these prices

did your box get hit by a f*cking truck???? pardon my french but thats INSANE!!!
