    Strongly disagree about the bad batch shuttle's color. I think adding some color and life to SW vehicles is always a good thing and we get way too many grey ships. The sand blue is super unique looking, and fairly accurate too. I mean, LEGO makes their snowspeeders white even though the actual ship is grey, but nobody ever complains about it. I do agree that the speeders shouldn't have been included though. The price could've been bumped down to 80 or 90 dollars without them.

    Why would they add an episode 4 version of Luke? The box art clearly shows the set on Bespin which is not from episode 4. The set wouldn't even need to include a Luke anyways because the minifigures are based off of before the events of the betrayal at cloud city. You can see the Leia in her Hoth appearance rather than her cloud city appearance and both Han and Leia have the breathing mask for when they were in the space slug. In my opinion, the UCS Millennium Falcon is a perfect set.

    Ironically the sticker hallway is 1:1 accurate to the movie sets. The actual hallway scenes swere seperate sets, in the main rooms the hallways were matte paintings. Kinda like how the old Death Star playset had the sticker for the prison cells matte painting.
    Another additional issue is that alot of pieces needed for stability would be in the way of hallways.
    The Bad Butch shuttle heavily suffers from the fact lego phased out sandblue, itd easily fix the color.

    I understand that some UCS sets can't be Minifigure scale (Death star, star destroyer executor) but I feel like most UCS sets should either be as close to Minifigure scale as possible or not at all, for instance the razor crest is a near perfect Minifigure scale ship but then something like the LAAT is so far from being Minifigure scale yet they still have the cockpit fit a figure

      UCS sets started as oversized and highly detailed sets, and they will continue to do so. The key part about UCS sets is that they are incredibly well detailed, which is often impossible to get at minifig scale while retaining a sturdy and secure build.

      ​@@fivelonelyclones They never branded it to being 100% accurate. In the instruction manual, it says it's "very accurate", never does it say 100% accurate.
      Besides, they couldnt have given it a true 100% scaled interior because the interior of the falcon seen on the movies does not fit with the given dimensions of the outside of the ship. And the build wouldve been extremely delicate and fragile. If it barely holds up with the current structure, I cant imagine how it'd be without it.

    Are people that pressed about 2 inch plastic figures that arent even well designed with half assed printed detail? Sets are literally hated because it isnt satisfying peoples minifig addiction lol. The UCS Gunship is one of the most well engineered lego sets I have every owned but because it only includes 2 minifigs to some its the one of the worst ones. Clearly the set was not meant for minifig collectors and was foucsed towards those like myself who enjoy quality builds. Some of these sets on this list I simpathize with from a builders/modelers perspective pertaining to prices. However, I see the same arguements across all my plastic hobbies of price increases and people whining that they cant buy everything they want because they have to be responsible adults but then proceed to buy the plastic crack anyways. Lego, like every other plastic hobby I own have gained so much demand and interest over the years that increasing prices will always be a thing to counter balance the demand. Its really simple economics. Of course you cant just tell people to stop buying their product thats counter productive. So they just increase the price slightly to push away those on the fence about a set and everyone else either buys or doesnt buy as per usual

      It’s not to valence demand. It’s to make more money. If demand was high Lego would just increase stock to compensate and thus sell more. Also just because you don’t like minifigures and don’t care about them doesn’t mean people are wrong for liking and wanting them. People love and are nostalgic for the characters they represent.
