New Sail Barge Pic Review !!

[captaintau]

OK, sorry for restarting old threads, but having just got the set, I should contribute, right?

I think its a great set, though obviously not flawless.

Yes, WAY too many stickers.

For a set this size, I'd hope for 1 or 2 more figures. I might Brinklink another Bib Fortuna for it. Luke's right hand is flesh-coloured. It should be black.

[UltraPrime]

Luke's right hand is flesh-coloured. It should be black.

Not at this point in timeline it isn't ;-)

[STARWARS LEGO!]

Yes it should he got it cut off in bespin (and then thoght oh no my hand fell off bye dad got to go chase my hand)LOL :-D

[bdd]

Why is Lego Jabba sand green when Movie Jabba is brown? I never get that.

[Scouty]

He is basically greenish I'd say. Luke Skywalker gets a new hand, thus a flesh hand, though, at that scene or even that part of the whole movie of the Jabba sequence(or the whole movie) Luke puts on a black glove over his robot hand to hide his faliure.(Losing to Vader and such)

[dillthepill]

Alright, this review has made up my mind. Iam definately going to get this set.

[STARWARS LEGO!]

Me to my christmas presant with 10000000000's of other lego set's :-D

[mutley777]

I have just finished building this set and i have to say it is the best

[Evil Willy]

Great review Yoda. I am so excited for my little brother to open this at christmas(I know he is getting it)!1!11!! Looks like a super great set, except those darned stickers! My star wars(well my brother and I)'s collection is getting bigger every week.

[Legoman]

same here,i am getting this for christmas.YAY *wub*

Personally i don't mind the prison at all. I think of them as 8 extra 4 x 1 x 2 prison wall pieces that i didn't have before (i'm really glad they aren't bley) for my MOCs.

It is a great set for its price.

I know its been said a bunch of times but i gotta say it. Stupid Stickers! >:-(

[Scouty]

I got this set for Christmas :-) . It's a great set overall. But, I was sad to find out that all of the grating pieces were replaced by ones that didn't have the grating. And some other piece wasn't the same. But, It's a GREAT set!! :-)

I BL'd the replaced pieces. Its worth it. Looks better as it was supposed to be

[CopMike]

ImperialScouts - what pieces do you mean when you write grated pieces?

Is that a new batch of 6210 with different pieces than the first?

When did that happen?

Why?

So many questions - so little time :'-(

Tan 8x8 plates that go on the top of the Sail Barge. The intructions show them as mesh pieces but for some buyers, there was an addendum page to the instructions replacing them with non-mesh 8x8 plates. We guess it was doen because of a shortage of mesh-pieces. I think some 'phoned LEGO and asked for the correct pieces. I BL'd them.

[Scouty]

Yeah. I'm gussing a shortage of pieces because I saw that the Barge was on backorder online. So, I was able to get it early( :-) ), but at the cost of those pieces :-( , oh well. I'll BL them or something.

I got this for Christmas and I use it for my some of my minifigs' houses. It's my party house. It seems like a perfect place to party!

[Zaktan of the Shadows]

Yup this old thread just seems to keep going and going. Nice review Yoda. It helped me make up my mind to buy this set and I got one for 25% off in the Toys-R-Us sale before Christmas. X-D Sadly it's the version with the replacement parts. :-/

I've been tinkering around with it since then and made a couple of mods: Replacing all the fleshies (just a practical decision - I've been collecting the Star Wars line from the begining and avoiding remakes, so I've still got more yellow figures and I like them all to match!) and fixing up a couple of details.

I fixed the underside of the engines at the back so that they slightly better and more colour co-ordinated:

You can just about see in this photo that I blocked up the end of the jail with some more bars so that the prisoners can't just wander into the galley and the armoury! :-| Also I fixed the deck hatch so that extra supplies can be lowered into the barge:

Somebody else on this thread said they didn't see the point of the prison. I disagree. It makes perfect sense to transport the prisoners to Sarlacc's Pit using the jail (which is more secure, but only because I modded it! :-) ) and then transfer them to the skiff when you get there, like this:

[Commander Xalax]

I got this and every guy of mine like to party!!

[sam89]

Nice mods, PaulC! I may have to mod mine. Mainly the open prison ;-)
