    Its a minority. And even within that minority, its a subset who obsess over, and very vocally make issue with things out of proportion

    Great stuff, that's really useful thanks. I saw the 75265 and thought that might be a good option

    Any ideas on cheap (under 30 quid new on Ebay) that would include good minifigures to help populate the bar? It feels like a few extra characters would help, but I want to make it semi realistic to the era I'd rather get actual sets that just minifigs.

    So still a small minority. And for all the shouting, how many people genuinely didn't buy the Cantina set for example because of lack of arm printing as a main reason?

    Ultimately whether a set good value or bad value in isolation is irrelevant, because it isn't sold in isolation. It's a digital decision, of value to the individual . It is either priced at a level combined with other factors such your interest in the theme / set etc, that you either buy it, or you don't. For example, the Disney Castle I wouldn't buy even if it was at 100 quid, nevermind 300. Because of other factors such as the above. So in terms of value, the Disney Castle is terrible. To me. No one can make a claim on value outside of its value to themselves.

    People over obsess on tiny details like arm printing on minifigs, and forget Lego is a commercial toy company not just one serving adult collectors, the 2021 set rumours reaction also applies here I'm exactly the same. I like 1 a lot of different characters not 100 of the same.

    Price per piece I view as largely irrelevant, as that number takes no account for size, complexity of parts, nor new moulds. It also includes licensing cost which varies. It's a number that has so many caveats that ultimately I don't see the point of it.

    Lego Star Wars has existed far longer than Disney owning Star Wars. There is little logical reason to assume they would have merged all licenses together. It appears more logical that they would continue to keep individual licenses around individual areas of the Disney portfolio. So any assumption that the license cost is equal across sets is not based in good logic
