Bricksnaps Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 (edited) Here are some pics and links to more pics of My Mission to Jabba's Palace Moc. I Built this as a play set style Moc two days before Christmas so that my kids can play in Jabba's Palace, I spent the last two weeks or so sourcing the minifigs. Having shown the Moc at Brickfair AL and now taken the pics, my 10 year old son has corrected me on the fact that the blue lady behind Bobba is possibly a Jedi. I wasn't going to photograph and edit again, so please excuse that error and imagine it is a long lost sibling of her who is now a dancer in Max Rebo's band. The trapdoor is fully functional and lead down a tunnel that ends in the Rancor pit. Stair ways lead off the back and side in all directions, allowing for further add on's as needed. A few features I particularly like: The Red Blanket that Jabba sits on, it is a cape from one of those giant knight figures and Max Rebo's drum kit, this took a few hours to build but I love the effect that I achieved. As always, thanks for looking, I hope you enjoy, more images are on my Flickr via the links. Cheers.

dmarkng Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Sweet, your kids must love this. Did they have a hand in it? Does the trap door collapse downwards or something? Quote

Does the trap door collapse downwards or something? Yeah they do, though they enjoy sticking Creepers or Lego Friends down there more. YES trapdoor collapses, there is a technic axle that pushes through the back. when it is extended the door cannot fall, when I pull it back, unlucky minifigure falls through. Cheers! Quote
VaderFan2187 Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Wow, very nice! Very detailed and yet looks highly playable! Quote
JDbricks Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 Oh damn, this looks wonderful! I absolutely adore anything Jabba's palace, this is one of my favorites. I assume your children have loads of fun with this, I know I would. Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! Quote
peedeejay Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 This looks very cool. Now you only need to build a detachable roof! ;-) Quote
Ellisss_2 Posted January 20, 2017 Posted January 20, 2017 This is great, I love the use of different coloured bricks for the Rancor pit! Quote

Thanks, the playability was the main goal- as I was building my son asked if they could have it to play with :) Quote

Great job! Thanks. It is expanded from the 'set'one in size but I like the red knights cape as a blanket the most :) I spent a fair bit of money picking up all the aliens, I do also loveg effect though. Cheers Quote

Ha, how did you know? I had most but had to pick up a few, I was pleased because I had most stuff for this build already :) On 1/22/2017 at 2:03 PM, 47flipfell said: fascinating work! how many pieces in total ? Thanks. Piece count is so hard- no real idea, once I had the layout though it was a fairly simple build, the upper half is mainly just a combo of tan bricks I had on hand and some tile. Quote
roadstermatt Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 that is just so cool its perfect if TLG produced this I would buy it in a heart beat regardless of cost Quote
