STARHAWK

Any idea for a suitable torso for Barada ? I went through white torsos, found some plain shirt, but none with a bandolier. For the cape maybe a red one as my Kithaba has a dark red. This thing new or old "Minifigure, Headgear Hat, Cloth Wrap" is not even in yellow color, nor orange which would be the right one. Thanx for any suggestion. Maybe looking within TAN: 973pb3178c01 973pb3750c01 (tusken) -> this is the closest i could get

Thats because its not big enough. It should have been bigger. That why i have to build my own instead of purchasing this one. They simply recreated the Hasbro Haslab version in Lego and even slapped the 500 USD price tag on it. 3.75" collectors were glad to receive such a big vehicle after while , but lego is smaller and thus there is possibility to create the interior from crossection book and movie. I would have no problem giving them 500 Eur if the barge was bigger and with more figs ...

Why not just source the bricks for the saber and build it ? It should cost less that the aftermarket prices.

Its not about what is a fine number for UCS set - its about what is the good number of minifigs for that particular set/product. An oversized TIE Fighter / X-wing , A-wing with only 1-2 figs that interacted with the vehicle in a 200eur set might feel ok. In the cantina there are 21 to populate the detailed model. Barge is a perfect fit for a MOC bigger environment so there could be more minifigs to go along with it at that pricepoint. Why is there no Tessek when they have the quaren mold ? If they want to overblow the price, there should be more minifigs to justify it and the existing one should not be cheapened. And really comparing it to the 76269 Avengers tower with 5201 pieces and 30!!! minifigues for the same price (+ a GWP with 4 additional figures), then the barge really looks like a rip-off and i will not tolerate it nor support it by purchasing this set for that price

Hows that only -3 points ? That pretty dealbraking. 7 is like, yeeeeah there are some minor issues

I mean people in my country - im not aware of a big D&D community, but the figures are so good as for medieval and generic fantasy that they are constantly sold out - all of them, not just paladins. Also the D7D movie was a failure, yet its getting sets. Seems anything that is castle/medieval or can be generic fantasy will sell well. Sure the XW/TIEs will be constantly rereleased for some new kids. Not sure how much new SW fans there are - all the kids oriented shows and toy lines are cancelled after a short period. The brand is bleeding fans and new ones are not pouring in in masses. Cor Gunship - probably could get more figs to sell better. Justifier was too expensive for what it was. Bad Batch shuttle has not sold much ? Dont know, its sold out while the Justifier still can be found here.

But to kids it would be a different colored hutt to play with. There was also a TV series with a new hutt - also not supported by lego and that was explicitly aimed at kids. Here almost nobody really is a fan of the D&D universe, yet the D7D minifigs are constantly sold off as they appear in stores. You dont need to appeal only to the avg consumer, but also to the SW fans who are tired of constant XW, TF, Lukes speeder etc reeditions. Kovakian monkey lizard - appeared in mando, in other shows Loth cat massiff - appeared in Ep2 as well as in Mando there are many animals in SW, totally overlooked by lego - yet i constantly see one of molds used in CMF SW animal could be reused at least 2-3 times

Its their stupidity to not use some of the specific molds. In SW they could make a hutt like every 2nd year Gardula for Ep1 set Jabba for a current Underwold set Ziro for a Clone Wars set the 2 hutts in Book of Boba Same with any small SW animal which could be placed in any set. Like i dont understand why we dont have something like the Friends pockets - a small pocket/pod with a minifig, few bricks and a small collectible animal - there is so much great small animals in SW to collect and use in moc.

40eur for the battlepack is terrible deal. Not to mention i have to get the old helmets for all the new stormtroopers (i have maybe 30 old stormies + 20 sandtroopers - so maybe ill upgrade the body for most of them) But 75387 is constantly on discount for around 38-45 eur with a really good bonus figure and a rebel captain and usable bricks to make a big Tantive corridors MOC so ill pass on that battlepack unless its on 50% discounts and rather get more of the Tantive sets (Fives will be much more valuable in the future as pink R2 and there will be more demand for him) and i can sell excess Vaders to kids for like 5 eur as the mech is still available for 15e. Wondering what to do with few old rebel BP i still have as MISB in stock, ill probably sell them to get the funds for old stormie helmets.

In the set, he has the silver front print - its not plain. In the movie still on the sand scenes, the leg seems to have a different color than the rest of his body. There are multiple problems with the scaling: - the minifig is too wide compared to its height - this is difficult when making correrct scale speeders with 2 minifig sitting next to eachother - the sets for bigger vehicles in SW were not created in the proper scaling in mind, making them appear bigger from the inside as they actually are from the inside - for the barge its clear from the movie and its backed by the crossection that there should be a 2nd floor room at the back - this was omitted due to the scaling - possible because the inspiration was in Hasbro haslab barge where it was not possible to have for 3.75" figures - ill see when i try to build my own barge

" And brand manager Patrick gave a very clear answer: there is no ban on her and they could make her if they want to. " If you really believe what Patrick (a corporate goon) says then i have a bridge to sell to you Why dont we have a slave Leia for 40anyversary of ROTJ with pinless joints ? or even a swapable legs like they did for the 3.75" version which i regret not to purchase along with the 3.75" Rancor with Oola for like 80eur. 5eur ? Did you bought like 10 of them ? Its selling for 60-70 usd, selling even opened. Yes the campaign was lazy but an Oola would 100% cause it to be successful - i would back it myself. I have watched the counts to the last minute and it was a very close one - an Oola would tip the scale with no problems. Yes, im collecting SW lego since 1999 (though i have not all the sets, i was a student with limited income, i have more sets as i started to work) You can put the leg back like 20degree and is still not noticeable, 45degree is already noticeable. But how many times do you need to bend this figure legs to the back ?? Usually its on display with straight legs or better sitting or lie next to Jabba. Actually the issue you mention is true for any figure with leg prints and they dont care in other cases. Many of the SW troopers and figures looks totaly stupid when looking at from a slight angle - Lando in the skiff was more acurate with plain TAN legs then with the just front printed new version (yes they are able to do side print on legs if they want to), Scout troopers would benefit from a black legs with white boots + some printing on it - they do it constantly for the CMF (check the great M-tron figure leg print) - yet they refuse to use printed doublemolds in SW theme to cheapen out on the customers i have a couple of light nougat legs somewhere (970c90pb05) so i could try to make a custom cloth piece to go with the legs

Ask Lego and Disney. Its this stupid woke and politically correct mindset that did not existed in the past. Some years ago there was a Hasbro campaign for a 6" rancor and they did not include Oola in the offer, nor in the stretch goals -> and it was the first SW haslab project to fail (Reevas lightsaber was the next one to fail). Slave Leia (not to mention they are afraid of the name so it has to be changed to huttslayer) is also a banned figure across all producers I dont buy this bending of legs excuse. 500eur (or is it 550) is a lot for a set with too many fails and imperfections and yes, it needed MBS level count of figs - the display of the figs outside is plain stupid. Figures shoul populate the scene and the whole vehicle belongs to a MOC brickbuilt environment. Yes, it starts to be sad they are pricing out kids out of the theme while doing lame and lazy job for the wealthy adults. Also every time they are presenting such set it laughable - because you see a flat with only that particular set on display - they are completely out of touch with the avg collector and how his display looks like. A SW CMF is long overdue - too many characters we dont have from the OT/PT movies while they are also far behind with the TV shows figures. I have cubic meters of bricks already, so im looking at each set just for the figs as im not child and am not impressed with the system scale vehicles - i need minifig scale or something close to it, any bigger ship is a pile of bricks for me. Also why SW does not have a polybag set wit a small build with minifigure ? Im not talking about the advent calendar level slightly bigger microbuilds.

married, 2kids, but lucky for me no mortgage while i have my own flat - so imagine being able to spend the mortgage budget monthly on toys and collectibles. Yes, im less critical of the skiff (got it for 70eur) - i am critical, but still did purchased that set, but at 500-550eur. Waiting for sale is ok, there is too many other products from lego or other brands. Sooner or later it will be discounted. I got the Razor Crest for almost 400eur (when considering also return VIP points and all the gifts). Barad Dur was a day 1 pick as the unique nazgul was in demand - its selling for 120eur at least and i can still sell the set for +- the catalogue price and buy it again once there is a bigger discount later - dont really have space to build it. Yep lego is pupmpig out too many expensive sets too quickly and we usually dont want to miss it for its MSRP and pay the extra on secondary - thats a reason i bought a lot of sets - keeping in mind i can still sell them for catalogue price later if i dont want to build it, but i run out of storage space in my 4room flat - i have now like 1 cubic meter of sets to sell and i started to count it that way (so far i sold already 0.5 m3, but that on top of the 1 m3 i need to sell :D ) Looking at my 6" Hasbro figure, its more like a coat up to his feet - so the cape would be close enough. I they wanted to print it, they had to print it lower as on the minigifure. Hand should be that dark blue color as they are sticking out through the coat Unfortunately figs like Oola are banned now. Im sad we never get the twillek twins Ann and Tann Gella (in similar style as Oola) Microfighter ? I dont think so, it was maybe difficult enough to talk Disney onto allowing them to have Slave ehm huttslayer Leia in a big set for adults :) If accuracy is everything for you, then this set is not for you with so many inaccuracies i listed

If you put 2 and 2 together and see the overall cultural war (no more sexi female in games to name another) you would understand its woke political correctness and i can only hope, more people would reject this and vote with their wallets. They had no problems use the cloth pattern and naked hip is all of the 3 previous minifigs, but all of a sudden now in the age of woke, its a problem. In the end this all will only play to the hands of custom producers and chinese producers. Lego is so lame in the prints that i will later spend money on custom prints figures than on original lego and im lucky that one of my friends is already producing such items - i just need to wait until he gets to do SW figs as i suggested (im waiting on imperial uniforms).
