lego the hutt

Many people here seem to not know what system scale is...

Glsd you like it, it goes well with the microscale Hogwarts but it doesnt compare to the actual diagon alley...the system scale version. That's like comparing apples to oranges.

With the Bobs Burgers movie coming out next year and the show being in season 10. Now is the time. My family would buy every set made. Also, 2 Dune movies and a live action TV show are on the way. Just take my money.

Peroxide in the Sun.

I think myself and the above poster have a different definition of the word "kid" than you do. They call them college "kids" for a reason. It's not until you are much older that you realize you are definitely a kid when you are in your 20's. It isn't anything to get defensive about. I'm glad you thought she was "dope". I really enjoyed the costume design.

There are a ton of large, UCS sized, sets they could do without rehashing old designs or getting into obscure models. A UCS speeder bike has been talked about for years. I wouldn't be surprised if we started seeing more brick built figures/droids/aliens. That seems to be the recent trend. Brick builds such as 3PO, Jabba, Ewok, K2SO (once the Cassian show comes out) etc.

I'm starting to come around on the ISD. I didn't like the gaps. I didn't like the flimsiness of the design. I'm starting to be ok with the gaps. Lego isn't a perfect medium. I just finished building the Tantive iv. It has gaps. I don't mind the gaps in the falcons. There is a certain charm to the aesthetic. Some studs and small gaps don't ruin it. They give it character. I am still not a fan of how much the plates flex under very minimal pressure making me think the inner structure could be designed better but...I'm half way there. This was the set I wanted most and I was pretty disappointed with the reveal. I'm not 100% satisfied but I'm starting to think I might be ok with it. Still on the fence about purchasing it, but the gaps are bothering me less.

This is an old question that has been discussed to death. A Lego rep. responded to it a few years back saying that Lego has attempted to design a UCS sized at-at but it didn't pass QC tests for stability. The cavegod moc was crazy unstable...dont bump the table type of unstable. Even if it was made more stable with technic pieces I would expect it still wouldn't be stable enough for Lego's standards.

I've been waiting for for this set for what seems like forever. I'm a bit disappointed with the gaps in the way it is designed considering the price. At 1:40 in the video he barely touches the plates and they move. I doubt those gaps/moveable plates stay symmetrical over time. Between the gaps and the fact that it seems like it is not a solid build my first impression is not great. I'll wait to see more consumer reviews later.

Well, we haven't had triple points in a few years...but it's possible. It's happened before. I can't remember exactly when the last triple points was in the US. Maybe 2014ish?

10178 didn't sell out. It was on clearance for 50% off in many places and still didn't sell...

Oxymoron...

We disagree.

A precedence was set. The porg was arguably worse/more ugly. The brick built character sets look much better when they are droids imo.

TLG understands who the target audience is for high prices sets. As far as SW goes it definitely isn't millennials. They are banking on nostalgia. As much as I think nostalgia is for suckers, some ships are iconic. There is no way we get a prequel trilogy or sequel trilogy star destroyer at a high price point. TLG knows better.

Ah yes, forgot about those. That is a step in the right direction. Those always seemed strange to me because there were other dc sets that were better that they seemed to be competing against. That is probably why it was so short lived.

A licensed theme that utilizes minidolls might be interesting. I would like to see minidolls progress beyond where they are currently. I see trolls speculation. Is there anymore evidence to support this actually being a thing? Prerelease codenames/nicknames don't mean much.

I recently received a tantive iv that i ordered from Shop at Home. The outer shipping box was perfect but the lego box had creases and 2 of the bags were open inside. I can't think of another time that the plastic bags were open inside the box but it has probably happened at least a couple times over the years...

Can you use that many promo codes online for one order? It wasn't letting me. Maybe I could try again? What a hassle?

So it seems like we are getting screwed. I currently have 45 dollars in vip points...but i can't use 45$ worth. The next tier up is a 50$ voucher. This is some BS. They try to spin this like it is good and offering extra benefits but F this. This is just one more way they are milking us. The Lego store rarely has good sales anyway and this is one more thing that pushes me away.

Very much disagree. The poorly fitted nose ruins this for me. Vader is much better. I'm not interested in displaying this unfortunately.

Ewok village is mine. I love lego trees. A great variety and number of figs with tons of details and good natural colors. As much as I enjoy the falcon and ISD that others mentioned (the isd being my favorite sw ship) the majority grey color palette takes them out of my top choices. For a smaller, mid-range, set bag end is a quality design, good figs and lots of little details. Circular windows are great and a ton of accessories.

Having discussed this a few times over the years, I believe the reason behind it to be fluctuation in humidity. The recommended humidity range seems to be in the 60+% range and that fluctuating humidity can put stress on parts over time.

39.99 US is the standard licensed theme/SW advent calendar price. That seems expected.

I'll wait to reserve judgement on the slave 1 until we see more. I wonder what the dimensions are? On first glance it has a lot more exposed studs on the back than 8097 giving it a less smooth look but it does seem to have a lower profile. Like others mentioned, definitely not buying it only for zuckus, but we will see. The rest don't interest me.
