Who wouldn't do what?

People complain online - check

People buy the sets they complain about anyway - check

Lego is selling these sets - check

The answer to your real question: Lego. They wouldn't put more effort into any sets as long as they sell well. Always trying to make the most with as less as possible. Check, check, check, check.

Yes, we are. Wasn't trying to cause any confusion. Next time I'm gonna be less cryptic about it. 

 

Death Star plans have been weird and wonderful so far. At first, infos got drip-feeded to us, which culminated in next to nothing. Then, all of a sudden, we got close to the entire minifigure line-up all at once. Now we are back to utter silence again. I dunno... feels off to me.

SW leakers need to take a page out of the Harry Potter leakers. Details of hogsmead one day full set pics the next. No drip feeding just leaks

The thing that's odd is that this just doesn't seem to be the case with certain themes.  I haven't bought a Harry Potter set in 10 years, but I was looking at the giant Hogwarts sets at Target the other day, which I'd never really noticed/paid attention to, and they both look good (which, I do think the current SW stuff looks good, I have no issues with the designs themselves) and are priced fairly (which is where my massive issue lies).  You're telling me that for $40 more than the Turbo Tank, I can get the Hogwarts great hall, with double the minifigures (plus a troll bigfig) and almost 1000 more pieces?  For $30 LESS than the CTT, if I wait for the right discount, I can get both the Lilo and Stitch house AND the Up house, where I get 600 more pieces plus two extra minifigures.  Heck, the Lilo and Stitch house alone has 5 minifigures and like the same number of pieces as the Juggernaut and is $70 less.  

Like, are they just that confident that Star Wars stuff will sell to where they can price it however they want?  Is that why we see the insane gouging with SW and not with other licensed themes (except for DC, the prices there are getting ridiculous too, it's just less prominent because we get like three DC sets per year)?  As I said the other day, I can't blame them, because for all of the talk of boycotting this that and the other, I haven't seen a single CTT in stock at 3 stores since August 1st, and only one MTT and like two of the 327th BP.  What's going to change if people can't wait two months for a set to be discounted to buy it?

Yeah, that ain't exactly the worst idea in the world. While i don't mind some drip-feeding and teasing here and there to build up some additional anticipation prior to a bigger release, some more substantial leaks in a more consistent manner would go a long way.

Yeah, it's hard to disagree with your points. What overall value you are getting definitely depends on the theme. This might be due to Disney being extraordinary greedy when it comes to their licensing, but i think Star Wars always takes the cake, even before the big acquisition. So Lego's clearly taking full advantage of the theme's popularity and huge demand. Especially now that clone craziness is back in full force, after what feels like a phase of the brands decline in general merchandising. We all talk about the ridiculousness of the 327th Battle Pack's price point. But considering there will probably be enough people picking up multiple ones right off the bat, does it even matter in the end? Lego might not be selling as many sets compared to their predecessors, but as they provide less value for much more money just a year later, they don't have to. So yeah, going from that, nothing is gonna change. I just hope they return to their senses and at least beef up their flagship sets again when charging top dollar for them. 

On a more positive side note, i really hope Kit Fisto is among the next batch of Jedi minifigures. With his head mould receiving the awesome Plo Koon hard plastic treatment.

I think one of my hesitations on wanting another standard tie is that the downsizing has negatively impacted the tie fighters as much or more than some other downsizing.  The x wing downsize made the x wing closer to minifigure scale, the old tie fighters were closer to minifigure scale so the new downsized ones just look weird next to the x wings.  So we have had two lackluster tie fighters out that were both downsized when what i think would be good is one sized like 2016 with the updated cockpit area.  I think we need a break from standard tie fighters but a full size one might be a good candidate for the 50th anniversary wave (providing we don’t get a tie advanced by then).  (And tie avenger which would be nice to get a new version completely).  

If it is the $70 set I doubt we have to worry about downsizing. The 2016 one was half a $90 set, or $120 today. Dropping that in half we're at $60. This doesn't seem like the type of set lego would price gouge (both with there being no clone legion, and with lego's $60-70 offerings this year seeming like solid value), so I think it'll probably be about the same size, if not a little bit larger.

Well I bought the turbo tank so I could make a funny youtube video making fun of the structural issues and modding it to be structurally sound and compatible with my dropship, but honestly? this thing just sucks. The build was meh at best and I can't think of a single thing that is even on par with the 2010 version which I have next to it. 

 

There is only one reason to even consider buying this and that is as a $160 battle pack

I mean look, your choices are your own, but I wouldn't buy it even to make fun of it. People like Solid Bricks got the word out about it being an overpriced house of cards. One sale won't make a difference, but a couple hundred to thousand people thinking "one sale won't make a difference" sure will.

 

And therin lies the other issue- the people who don't need to worry about money, or can write-off the purchases for a youtube channel, treating it like a $160 battle pack. The kids buying it just for the figures. The adults buying it just for the figures. Lego clearly believes they can pump out an objective failure of a build, throw in the 999th legion we haven't gotten before, and double whatever their pricing a few years ago would have been, and people will complain and say it's awful and somehow tie it into lego hating the prequels... and then buy it anyway. Ideally we can show them this approach won't work, but it kind of seems like it is...

It is odd- people clearly HAVE the set, and at least a few are bold enough to take pictures of it. They must have used the rug in the background of the figure lineup photo to figure out who leaked it and eliminate them.

I don't even know if it's Disney or Lucasfilm, I think it's LEGO (and they're probably fine letting people scapegoat Disney, since Disney already gets blamed for literally everything within SW fan circles, whereas apparently nothing good in the Disney era deserves any credit, but that's another debate altogether).  

The 3 Indiana Jones sets that we got a couple of years ago were all priced extremely well - the Well of Souls was like $40 for 600(!) pieces and 4 minifigures, the plane set came with two vehicles, a terrain build and 3 minifigures and was $35, and the temple set was $150 for 1500 pieces and a large, detailed display model that also had a handful of play functions, plus 4 new minifigures.

The Disney stuff isn't quite as cheap as the Indy stuff is, but I feel like I look at those sets, whether it's the more adult-oriented ones or the playsets, and I don't see too many that are egregiously overpriced there - I mentioned the Up house and Lilo and Stitch house in my previous post, both feel about right (especially after they hit a discount), just skimming the LEGO.com page for Disney sets available, the only ones that LOOK egregiously overpriced at the Nightmare Before Christmas one and the $150 101 Dalmations set, but those are just from pictures alone, I haven't really done too much digging into the sets.  

Glancing at the Marvel page, the prices definitely feel a little bit high, but it seems like maybe in the vein of 10-15%.

The problem that I have with the SW stuff is that it feels like the stuff should be 10-15% cheaper at MSRP, and THEN we start looking at an additional 10-15% discount for me to say "yes, this feels worth it."  I genuinely don't know if the CTT or MTT at $100 would feel like I'm getting a good value, and that's almost a 40% discount.  The 327th BP, to me, is like a $30 max set (33% off).  Jango's starfighter is probably $45-50 (35% off), the V-19, probably $50 (23% off), and the Force Speeder, like I remember when those were $25-30 sets, and to me, that's still where they should be (45% off).

I don't see that kind of price gouging in the other themes, even with some of the Marvel stuff being on the higher side.

Hi guys, this may not be appropriate for here but I’ve ran out of options.  I’ve lost access to my original account that I’ve had since 2013 and have nearly 3k posts on.  My account is Legoman123  but I’ve had to set a new one up as eurobricks login changed from been able to use your email or username to just email and as it was set up 12 years ago I have no idea what email it’s linked to.  Please someone help me out.  I emailed eurobricks from my new email a month ago but heard nothing back.

To add more to this, other star wars merch doesn't seem crazy expensive compared to other brand equivalents- a quick google shows your average Black Series figure is the same $24.99 pricetag as your average Classified Series (GIjoe) or Lightning Collection (Power Rangers) figure. (Same with your average Marvel Legend, but that's disney too so I figured it wasn't as relevant). 

Lego is charging more for these star wars sets because they think they can get away with it, and if this forum is a good representation of the market, it seems like they can indeed get away with it.

But the inevitable Tie Avenger won’t be egregiously overpriced. Right? (Day #107)

 

I do not plan on buying a single SW set for the rest of the year due to a combination of being awfully overpriced or repetitive clone slop. Instead, I’m going to have fun with Arkham which, unlike the majority of this year’s SW offerings, actually seems decently priced. I’ll of course wait for a 2x point and GWP window but still.

 

 

What would I change about this year? (Aside from prices)

• Scrap the logo set entirely (waste of set slot) and replace it with a diorama
• Tie Avenger instead of play-scale slave one (unneeded and could have happened in 2027)
• Cut clone slop by a third-half (V-19 and ARC-170 honestly deserve to stay)
• Scrap Buildable Wicket. Replace with… anything that looks better
• Add another fig to the Force Burner. (Preferably a remixed character since those are the main draw of RTG imo)
• Reduce 18+ slop in favour of a more equal balancing of eras in play-sets. (In a year when Andor S2, EABF 10th Anniversary, TFA 10th Anniversary and ROTS 20 Anniversary happens, it’s unfortunate that only one of them gets properly celebrated and even then only in a half-arsed way since it’s just the clones and not the main characters from the movie.)

 

Speaking of RTG. Where the Kriff is the Pieces of the Past Trailer. I yearn for the memes.

It became pretty odd indeed. Don't know what's going on anymore. There appears to be a shift taken place for LSW leak culture the last couple of years.

To speak for my location, Disney actually charges extra money for their movies and this is the reason why some cinemas won't show their films on the silver screen. So, of course, i think along the mindset of why this greed wouldn't extent to some of their merchandise? Like i said, Lego Star Wars was already expensive before the big buyout, but in my eyes got even more costly since then. How much Disney factors into this, i don't know for sure. Just a mere observation on my part. 

Oh man, the Indiana Jones sets felt illegal for Lego standards. Like a different timeline altogether. It really brought you back to the 2010s of not having to wrap your head around discounts. 

Well, you got the classic Disney stuff, you know, all these different castles, which absolutely seem aggressive in their pricing to me. Even the Harry Potter theme (not Disney i know) started out relatively reasonable priced at first, but gotten much more expensive for every additional soft reboot. Not as excessive as Star Wars mind you, but it's getting up there. 

However, i gotta say, that I'm having a tough time comparing Star Wars minifigures to Harry Potter. Yes, the latter usually got way more figures, but that ain't too shocking considering the former are often more detailed. Just take a look at them legs... So you could see a quality over quantity scenario here. Fully aware that Star Wars figures got their fair share of issues too. 

Personally stopped to perceive that as a problem per se. That just became the sad standard to me. I accepted it. Like... it's Lego Star Wars. So nearly everything is overpriced to some extent, what little is left is an exception. Whatever good discounts you are getting is now the price it should have launched in the first place, which is clearly part of their marketing strategy... maybe we should ask Amazon about it. Doesn't prevent us from acting accordingly. So we are never getting something for full price. Always patiently waiting for the right time to make a move. And since this means you always play catch up to the last waves, you never run out of sets to get... you just space them out. 

Like, i was alluding to, you definitely feel that Star Wars is the big established Lego theme compared to others. Like @Mandalorianknight said... They charge a premium because they think they can get away with it... and enough people prove that they can. If their price hikes were to negatively impact commercial success over time, they would think twice about it. But that doesn't seem to be the case, so they got no reason to want to go home and rethink their life.

I agree with your overall list of changes, but this one really got me. From my own biased point of view... just no. I know you would probably sell your kidney to get your hands on an official TIE Avenger, i want this to happen as well, but describing a set that hasn't been made since 2002 as unneeded is certainly a take. Of course, you could always argue what's two more years after over two decades of nothingness, but yeah. It leaves a sour taste in my mouth and i do not condone such blasphemy on your part. I am looking forward to more of your memes, though... but preferably not forever.

[TheScaryDoor]

I like what I see from the leaked photos of the DS UCS. Its like a big diorama with most of the important scenes which are easy to display (instead of the older DS UCS).

But it feels very far away from the price to be paid and doesn't give me any sensation at all. 

Lego could have done a series of dioramas for the DS. So everybody could collect the scenes the want to display and maybe put every diorama time after time together.

[samsz_3]

Crazy weekend for Eurobricks to be down!!.

Honestly it probably displays better than the 2008/2016 Death Stars as you can see it all. But not for 1000USD. That needed to be a sphere.

[BrickBob Studpants]

Love the new Death Star!  I still need to find a spot for it as this is gonna be a though one to display. The vitriol online is astounding.

We also got a bunch of new set numbers, some of which surely are for M&G sets. Still no update on the two unknown Imperial and Rebel sets though

Oh, and there‘s gonna be a Yoda bust! 

[brickbride]

Am I the only one who thinks the Death Star's box art is extremely misleading? I was staring at the first picture and couldn't see a single stud, so I figured that LEGO had gone all out and made a giant new half-dome piece to cover the entire back of the set. Which would have somewhat justified the price, and I wondered why people weren't excited about that. Then I looked at the other pic (the back of the box I assume) and nope, it's a slice, not a half-sphere. I wonder how many people will pick this up in a store fully expecting it to be a half-sphere if not a sphere based on the pic on the box.

You think HP these days is priced fairly? Boy am I glad I'm not a Star Wars fan. You guys seem to have it even worse but since 2018 we"ve gone from decently priced playsets to EUR 150 facades with crappy minifigs and modular prices for half-empty sets where you need to buy a bunch of other sets as add-ons in order to complete them. Not to mention the new UCS Hogsmeade set.

[BrickPrick]

Ha, every time i question the pace of the current Lego Star Wars leak culture, something big gets blown out almost immediately after. Happened to the summer wave. Now happened ro the UCS Death Star. But yeah, this was some interesting timing for Eurobricks to take a break. 

Okay, for what it is, i actually quite like the new Death Star. For what it could or should have been, i don't know. For the actual price, it's definitely not worth it, but that was to be expected. In order to make entering four digits space price points more justifiable, the minifigures would need to be a lot more detailed than they are. For some of the lackluster stuff included, Lego should be ashamed for. It's an embarrassment of riches. 

But considering this truly ended up as a Master Builder Series set in everything but name, i take it as the final nail in the coffin that Lego abandoned the MBS label for good. Which i don't mind that much as long as the format is still alive and kicking. Even though it's now probably gonna be a while for the next big thing.

Someone tried to sabotage the Tie Avenger campaign. Never fear. I was able to find refuge in the Bricktap server.

 

The attempt on my campaign has left me scared and misinformed, but I assure you that my resolve has never been stronger.

I think it’s cool. Just not £1000 cool.

I especially like the hangar, cell block, elevator, corridor and control panels. The mini shuttle is cool too. Hopefully we get some good imperial sets to tie in with this. (Tie Avenger with Krennic, stormtrooper Battlepack, Endor bunker, sentinel class imperial shuttle, Vader’s Tie Advanced….)

[Tariq j]

It’s not a bad set per se but it just doesn’t feel like a $1000 set. The figures are under detailed and a lot of the rooms look quite cramped and small. I wish they’d gone down the route the Harry Potter theme has for Hogwarts and given us some individual sets that could be placed together.

Set numbers in question for those who are interested:

75438 18+ ($49.99) Yoda bust

75439 18+ ($59.99) Vader bust

75444 7+ ($44.99) looking at price I’m going to guess this is a Wolfpack Battlepack 

75445 9+ ($74.99) I’m going to treat this one as a failsafe in case 75421 isn’t the Tie Avenger I’m looking for.

75446 10+ ($129.99) I’m going to guess this is the inevitable new Razor Crest. As foretold by @Skiffle truly a prophet.

75447 10+ ($149.99) similarly I’m going to guess this is a play-scale AT AT for M&G (also prophesied by @Skiffle, he’s just that good and was in no way claiming the obvious /s)

Ask me again when the sets are leaked or published but right now I really don't need a bust from Lego Star Wars. For me the helmets are enough im this area.

If they stop the helmets, I do not mind the Busts. If both exist (which I highly doubt), then it’s a brain scratcher. 

UCS Death Star looks good, just not 9000 pieces, $1000 worthy. Granted, I bet there’s a bunch of other features that we haven’t seen, plus we haven’t seen the other side to it. Makes me excited for a Jedi Temple in this style, though.

Yes, they‘re apparently scheduled for March! You could argue that it’s no surprise then that we don’t know more about them yet, but some leakers do know what they are, so that‘s not really a sound argument

I’d say the four new unknowns are all M&G sets, with more spoilery sets coming in August ^^

And we're back online! Let the comments fly regarding the new Death Star. It looks like a great set. But there is 0% chance I would ever pay $1000 for that.

Yep, the modular approach could work rather well for the Star Wars theme, but Lego just won't have it. Why offering multiple sets in various sizes and prices, when you can make one huge set at an even larger price point?

It's so good to be back again. And you summarize many people's thoughts, i think. 

 

Maybe some Lego designers argue whether or not our big blue planet is or should be flat as well? Joke aside, i get that there are obvious advantages in terms of displayability when you design it that way, but making a Death Star, out of all sets, a flat disk at double the price (inflation unadjusted) is certainly a choice to behold. The individual rooms depicting every famous movie scene you could ask for do look very nice, though!
