Joost W Posted December 7 Posted December 7 Hello, I'm new to this forum. My parents gave me my Lego collection from my childhood. I have a book with all the sets and numbers except one, and I only have a picture of the set. I'm trying to find this picture online, but so far I haven't been able to. How do I add a picture to my post? I'm hoping someone here can tell me the set number. Regards, Joost Quote

IIRC we've had evidence before that some people at lego do read the forum, and as we've seen before campaigns on instagram-type social media platforms tend to devolve into spam groups. As I said, I was just curious. Keep it up Quote

Would love to get that or something similar in an upcoming set. There, of course, was a previous one in the droid escape pod and dewback microfighter 2-pack, but the detailing was not as nice.

There, of course, was a previous one in the droid escape pod and dewback microfighter 2-pack, but the detailing was not as nice. Cheers :) Thank you, it's 175 pieces (assuming you use the rubber bridle piece, it's a few more if you go with the set of bars I used in stud.io because they don't have that element.) There is a brick-built dewback in the cantina, but given it's supposed to be smart-brick integrated I suspect it'll look pretty blocky. I went through some possible ANH 50th anniversary sets and I'm feeling a bit better about our chances at a good 2027 wave now. There's a few solid ships left that they aren't about to "smart", and you could even make the argument that the X-wing or Falcon could be done due to their odd price points for the smart sets. (I.e. you could do a single $60ish X-wing that should be fairly different in intended target audience/price point from the $100 smart one, or vice verse with a falcon around the $170 price point).

BrickPrick Posted December 7 Posted December 7 15 hours ago, Mandalorianknight said: I just think that the Dewback is large enough that it can indeed be represented by bricks rather than a single molded chunk (or two, given the jaw). I'm not lego, but I was able to come up with this without even using any recolored pieces: And as a bonus, this one can actually move more than just it's jaw. (Ignore the blocky bridle, the rubber bridle isn't in Stud.io). I have similar issues with things like the Rancor- you can get pretty solid shaping with modern pieces, not to mention a LOT more articulation than the statue-like molded creatures tend to get, so I just don't see why we have a single big mold. For me it'd be the same as if they made a big specialized mold for a speeder or ship- we could get much more accurate shaping for the imperial spider bike used on endor if we did a specialized body mold, but I don't think many people want that. I know a lot of people see creatures differently and I don't care a ton, especially since it's easier for me to brick-build a creature than for someone to custom-mold one, but it is my preference. Not that it matters anyway- I'm sure the smart brick-compatible one will look even rougher than mine. Well done, this is a well rounded good looking design. You see, going back to my point of execution being key, if Lego does it like that, I wouldn't mind being brick-built at all. But I think it will look much closer to the Brickhead version. And yeah, I might be on the more biased side since I don't see the absolute necessity of including a Dewback, let alone using upwards of a hundred pieces on it, in a Mos Eisley Cantina set in the first place. If you only release a set every five years or so, you better make it count and bring something fresh to the table. And in the case of the Cantina, that means new unique Alien minifigs. Otherwise i perceive it as a missed opportunity. Quote

The reason that a dewback or landspeeder is normally included in system cantinas is to add play value- otherwise it's just a relatively plain tan building with no real play features beyond maybe the "greedo's corpse falls out of the booth" one they did in 2019. Adding a vehicle or creature makes it more dynamic and interesting for kids. (It also helps complete the scene and serves as a way to get a dewback in a set at all- there aren't a lot of other places you can put them). I agree that the one we get isn't likely to be good, but I mean... I don't think the cantina itself is likely to be very good either in smart set format. I also don't think a brick-built dewback and unique alien minifigures are an either-or- I could maybe see it if it was a new molded, dewback, but I doubt it was "$80 666 piece set with four figures" vs "$80 500ish piece set with four figures plus one or two new alien figures" 8 minutes ago, Shaak said: Have you done a brick-built Bantha?

I have a tendency to push away the fact that system scale sets are still supposed to have children as their primary target audience.

Although, I appreciate it when they sometimes cater to both longtime and new fans in terms of figure selection when releasing the newest iteration of a classic set. Yep, I already implied as much. The pieces for the brick-built Dewback should not prevent them from including at least one unique Alien minifigure. And at the same time, no Dewback at all, brick-built or not, would not have guaranteed a brand new character's inclusion.

Both minifigs look amazing and are obviously the main selling point of the set. Still feel bad for the extra american fee some of you guys have to pay for... or having to wait longer until it hits the desired price point. Though I watched a 360 view of the set and turns out Cad Bane got barely any back printing. Nothing but a few scratches. But given he wears a trench coat, there probably wasn't much more you could have printed on there to begin with. Quote

Unless I'm forgetting one, I think we've had 4 versions of the Cantina. The 2003 version was definitely the weakest as far as the actual building - I'm pretty sure that the Landspeeder took up more of the piece count, but for the era and size, it was fine. The 2014 version pretty much set the standard for a large playset version, and I think it still holds up completely fine. The only new thing we got was the band, but it was also a much larger cantina, so I think it worked perfectly for he price and scale. The 2019 version, while smaller, was totally fine for the price point. It got the point across, and we got a new Wuher and speeder. I look at that one as a spiritual successor to the 2003 version, while the MBS version is more of a successor to the 2014 version. Obviously that one can't really be classified in the same way, but I believe it had 7 new characters plus a new speeder. I definitely agree on the new one - I'm surprised that there's not something new (Snaggletooth!) coming here to incentivize those with the MBS set or other previous versions to put down the money for a new one. At the very least, they could throw in Ponda Baba, because I don't think he should be locked behind a $350 (retired) paywall. Quote

That Speeder, like I will never ever tired of saying, is among the very best side builds that the Star Wars theme has to offer. The whole thing is just damn near perfection. That's exactly what I was trying to getting at... Give MBS owners of the Cantina at least a little bit of incentive to buy another play-scale version. It definitely doesn't have to be an either-or type of situation between clearly prioritising new fans and neglecting those who you already got their money's worth. Lo and behold, it can be both. And for the above average collector of minifigs, myself included, one new figure can already be enough to pique individual interests. As for what minifigure that would be, I've got two words: Ham Dezon. The very first character that shows up in the Cantina scene. Let alone the first Alien we ever saw in the Saga. It doesn't get more iconic than that. Quote

While I don't know if I'd shell out $70 or whatever is being charged for the new one for just one new minifigure, I think I'd be very tempted to buy the set and sell off the repeat figs or something.

When I think about Star Wars Glup Shitto's, I always think about the various Alien characters with minimal screen time, next to no lines of dialogue and you usually don't get to know their name. And even if you do, chances are you don't recognize it at first glance. Whereas certain troopers, officers and whatnot, like you said, are more recognizable by default, because you can immediately assign some identity based on ranks alone. If I did my homework correctly, the last Microfighter Dual Pack released in 2021 and retired in 2022. That feels like a lifetime ago. As far as I'm concerned, a risk that hopefully doesn't pay out for them. Of course... just as valid of a point to make. From a collector's perspective, people who already own something wouldn't mind if it stays exclusive... or don't care to begin with. While the people who still need something want that exclusively to cease existing. Personally know both sides and can see were they are coming from. Believe me, I wasn't exactly complaining when they lifted Rex' exclusively from a $650 UCS set to release him in a $13 Microfighter in such a short timeframe. Quote

I don't mind the current method of microfighters being "exclusive or expensive figure in a cheap set" since I use the builds as part packs anyway, but it would be nice to get actual microfighter packs again rather than "plo koon and some blue pieces nobody cares about" or "Rex and some blue pieces nobody cares about" or whatever. That said, with $10 price point non-gimmick sets coming... maybe we don't need microfighters at all anymore and can start just having system scaled $10 sets. 1 hour ago, Darth_Bane13 said: Time to bring back planet sets, the superior $10 subline. I assume this is a joke, but I could kind of see it? The main issue is the planet itself, which is just a big two-piece chunk of plastic, and that the actual builds suffer from scaling issues just as much as microfighters without any play features or figure interactability microfighters have... but as a bionicle fan I am a sucker for unique packaging in which the part container is made of lego elements. 1 hour ago, Omand said: I suspect you are joking here, but having missed those as I was in my dark age at the time, not a bad plan.

Apparently you would have been a good subline designer. Quote
