Igoran Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 As in previous years, especially for the ending this week, "Toy Fair 2011, LEGO Company has released an exclusive set. Box design, and even instructions on the cover of the issue maintain secrecy until the last moment. This year proved to be a secret set of characters of Star Wars Boba Fet, Han Solo and Chewbacca, but not familiar to us mini-figures, but the scale of Miniland. According to the author review FBTB, the three most successful figure was composed of 140 parts Boba Fet. Unique opportunity to acquire this exclusive use system Bricklink. But the experience of past years, the number of sets produced unlikely to exceed several hundred, so the price it will not be merciful. Source: FBTB Quote
StoutFiles Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 This set is pretty horrendous. I feel sorry for the collectors that must "catch 'em all", especially when they have to pay top dollar for something like this. Quote
Big Cam Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 This set is pretty horrendous. I feel sorry for the collectors that must "catch 'em all", especially when they have to pay top dollar for something like this. I must agree, i've seen better block style moc's done by members here. It'd be cool to get for free but it's never buy them. Quote
Praiter Yed Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Maybe they would work well within the Miniland environment. They do look 'very Lego' but are lacking the character and charm of CubeDudes. Quote
will Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 wow, they're spectacularly disappointing. I wouldn't display those if I was given them Quote
Solscud007 Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Yeah I like them cause they look like Mini-land esque or similar to the free models kids get in the Lego Stores. But I would NOT pay a premium for it. Quote
fred67 Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) Well, I guess for once I'm not sad for missing out... not only could I build these from parts I already have (or a very minimum BL order), but I don't have to because they're not particularly good. I guess I'm lucky I'm not one of those people who needs some sort of certificate of authenticity... I just like the LEGO. Edited February 18, 2011 by fred67 Quote
Brickdoctor Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Already mentioned here, but it could do with its own topic. Boba is easily the best of the group, but even he isn't looking the best. I do think that they look like they'd fit in well with the blocky style of Miniland figures. Quote
simonjedi Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 I actually like them. (and judging from the replies, I'm the only one) Quote
CMP Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 I was hoping to see some more OT Cubies. Aw well. Quote
Solscud007 Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 I actually like them. (and judging from the replies, I'm the only one) Dont forget about me. I like them because they look like they are Mini-land styled. I dont particularly like the Ministyle in general, but they look like they came right out of the Legoland park. Quote
Cradok Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 One of these just went for $540 on eBay, with four more active ones being at least $200. I used to be a completest, turns out I've found out what the limit of my completionism is. :-p Quote
AngryChair Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 I think my 4 year old nephew could do better than that. I love Lego but I have my limits.! Quote
Brickdoctor Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 I think my 4 year old nephew could do better than that. I love Lego but I have my limits.! I wouldn't be that harsh. Han, maybe a talented YFOL could do, since he's basically stacking bricks. But Chewie's SNOT build is something most younger builders wouldn't consider, and if you look closely Boba is built in true Miniland style, with plenty of small pieces and techniques like half-plate offsets.

BrickArtist Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 Hey look! A parts pack for Free.99, Ohh yeah. Those are pretty bad, Hans the worst by far. Hes built straight up. Quote
The Legonater Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 I actually think these are pretty good- remember guys, these are miniland style, not your average fig. With that in mind, these are fantastic. Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 Yeah the figs are decent at best (when viewed as a miniland figures), but I think this exclusive set is targeted mainly for hard-core SW collectors with lots of resources to dispose. 'Ordinary' fans like us would rather spend our limited budget on other sets that would satisfy us the most. Quote

Solscud007 Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 Are there any scans of the instructions for these? Quote
stan Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 Would be interested in buying/trading if anyone has one. Thanks Quote

Well to them, it's apparently better than 'another' X-wing, TIE fighter, or snowspeeder. *rolls eyes* Quote

Fallenangel Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 Exactly! This is the first set that I have passed up. The fact alone that you could buy this and this but not this set really says a lot about how bad it is. Quote
Solscud007 Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 The fact alone that you could buy this and this but not this set really says a lot about how bad it is. Hey i like both of those sets. hehe really I do. I have them both. Quote
