Lobot Posted October 20, 2012 My order arrived today (I just love Amazon!). Overall, I'm really impressed by the set, and I don't regret buying it. There are several really nice little touches; the panelling on the door, Han's 'sleepy' expression, and Jabba's throne. Boushh is just beautiful, no other way to descibe her :wub: However, I'm still not too sure about the Gammorean Guard....it's just not Lego somehow but perhaps he'll grow on me eventually! Is it worth the full price? No, but at 25% off it's getting there! I just wish that it was a 1,000+ part set, as it's all a bit too cramped for me. I would have been happy to paid for a larger set & I don't think that I'm in the minority on that one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moexy Posted October 22, 2012 Same here, the figs look gorgeous! I'm a fan off the Gammoreon Guard and Boush. The build itself is nice too, way better then the old one. Certainly worth it's price! (was €120) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted October 22, 2012 Superb review! I love this new gorgeous set! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickieB Posted October 23, 2012 I like it more, now after the review. Didn't care for it much but if the price would drop (significantly) I might get one. I like all the minifigs in the set, they look great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fikko3107 Posted December 19, 2012 I'm pretty sure the "Orange tab" is a brick separator. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wolvarie Posted January 12, 2013 Has anyone done any modifications to the set yet? I've built the Rancor Pit first and looking to start the Palace tomorrow. I know both fit together, but I am looking to expand on this and was wondering if anyone had added any extras on as yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Darth Sutius Posted January 14, 2013 Has anyone done any modifications to the set yet? I've built the Rancor Pit first and looking to start the Palace tomorrow. I know both fit together, but I am looking to expand on this and was wondering if anyone had added any extras on as yet. A gamorrean barracks, Han/Chewie jail cell and droid torture room would be my first place to start. If I owned either of the two sets :-P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Whoisbutton Posted January 15, 2013 Very nice review. Right now I see the jabba's set price lowered by couple more dollars so I am definitely going to buy this set. Do you have a review of the Ucs r2d2 by any chance too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duck Posted January 17, 2013 Managed to pick up this set for half price-ish he other day. I felt less agrieved paying £59 for it than £99-£120. Even then, it seems a lot. It is a well designed set however! Quite detailed and the mechanisms are all very smooth. Every brick seems appropriately placed and the main attraction is obviously the minifigures! I rated it as good Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy D Posted April 2, 2013 I had no intention of getting this set. I Star Wars is just not my favorite theme, I have a few iconic Star Wars sets, but... This set will be an excellent parts pack for a MOC I have in mind, a desert type building to go with my Oasis Carpet and Coffee Shop. I really like he dark tan and "flesh" bricks and tiles. I will build he set to learn wht can be learned, the on to a MOC. Andy D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rakky Posted September 13, 2013 Has anyone done any modifications to the set yet? I've built the Rancor Pit first and looking to start the Palace tomorrow. I know both fit together, but I am looking to expand on this and was wondering if anyone had added any extras on as yet. Probably along time since you last thought about it, but I have started modding mine, first thing I did was get rid of all the bluish gray floor plates and replaced them with sand coloured ones (Jabba's floor was sand coloured after all). I have just extended the throne room to build the four alcoves opposite Jabba and am hoping to finish the whole throne room properly soon. I ahve custom made all his henchmen as well to go in it, first ever MOC so taking a while, I have been making the henchmen for almost 2 years I think :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kermit Posted September 13, 2013 It is pricey but it is star wars. Most license themes are expensive and the mould for jabba and the new bounty hunter helmet adds to the cost as well. I say get the set despite the price point because from the review you can see its an amazing set. Also its not everyday that we get building structures in the lego star wars universe.

Blondie-Wan Posted September 15, 2013 This image just shows what's wrong with TLG now. Adding a bit of colour onto the old mould, say the eyes, mouth, and cross belts would be fine, now we end up with a stupid over sized and over detailed action figure . Boushh's helmet is an example of too much detail making the helmet too big. The old stormtrooper helmets where the perfect size as well as been detailed enough, this helmet is far too big. Good fig review though , I like the comparisons, though I don't agree . I also think it's great they reused the head tail mould for Bib . I'm on the fence about this. On the one hand, the old one really is quite plain for the lack of printing, but on the other hand I think it would have been fine without quite so much printing as the new one; moreover I have several of the old ones, while I can get only two by buying one copy apiece of this set and the Rancor pit, and I'm not sure from looking at the photos whether I want to mix them - do I use everything and have oddly different-looking Gamorreans, use the somewhat plainer-looking old ones exclusively, or use exclusively the new ones (and consequently have hardly any)? Decisions, decisions... Anyway, kudos to the original reviewer for the comparisons; it's appreciated! Whoops, just noticed I'd already replied to this review on a different page some time ago. I'd completely forgotten. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rakky Posted September 15, 2013 I'm in a similar situation, Jabba had 8 Gamorreans and I have 7 at the moment, 3 new, 4 old, they look pretty odd when put together unfortunately Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pretty easy to do and IMO, looks better this way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
