With you

Excelent job I would say. Especially how you combined the look of the 2015 Pirates with the classical Sabre-Island Since I have done the same, I would like to know how you got those decals into LDD. From my side: https://i.imgur.com/NdEPNwy.png The centre-piece originally was a modernized Imperial Outpost.

AFAIK out of all those movies Hercules was the only succesfull one ,for some reason, and gave Disney faith in animation back.

What would have made the 2015 wave much better would have been much larger sets besides the ship. I mean 30€ for the second biggest set in line? Bigger sets would mean more options to differentiate them. And of course Priates will always be similiar. Just like a medieval theme will always contain castles and knights. I think, that Pirates should always be a basic theme together with City and Castle, without any overarching story or concept, sometimes with less sets, sometimes with more, mabye some special waves from time to time but always fitting together. But the sun has set on such themes and I will go and paint my Revell Victory...

Stormptrooper-helmet looks horrible, Boba-Helmet a bit better but still not ideal. Especially that wird brocken up visor doesn't look good. 60€ seems a bit high too, for the size the sets seem to have.

I think that those Pirate-waves were built around: "We have found out, that Pirateships are wanted, so design one and half a dozen sets to form a wave. But don't invest to much time and bricks in case it doesn't sell well."

I like that. Never got why every Pirate is missing some piece in the Lego-World. But the figure is a bit to bland for a female Pirate in my eyes. Looks more like a tavern maid or so.

Impressive Details. Only complaint I have is, that for an Airship it looks a bit too conventional for me.

I always like BPs, that have usefull builds and not some stupid made up stuff.

Good Work. Do you think it would work as play-set?

Green is unlikly in my eyes, since it would bring in another Vader/Skywalker while Duel on Mustafar will be still on the shelfs. I am to lazy to look it up, but I also think that the last yellow one came out before the green one.

I am with you, bot on the gunship and on the Razor-Crest It is a nice set, but overpriced and somewhat of the wrong colour.

Unlike the supply of Mandalorian-BP ;)

Wait, Disney is allowed to order their license-holders to reduce the amount of their products so late in the stage of developement that they already got product-numbers?

The Packs always had a weird mix of existing or at least usefull vehicles and more or less useless and completly invented stuff i.e the gunship-speeder from the Jedi BP. But I wonder if brickbuilt droids would count as vehicles in TLCs eyes or if we would get something like a spider droid with a seat for a droid instead of his head.

Are you calculating with or without the main cannon? I think the overall proportions where the best for the very first AAT from 1999. Not ist's form or lookk, but the proportions where right.

While this set doesn't look as good as Starkiller, it is in my eyes a better concept, for it's play-funtions. Still I really dislike the amount of red for the lava.

That Geonosis-BP was always a weird case in my eyes. Maybe they just needed a second use for the new helmets but had no idea how to use them

Generally, I would say, the reason for this is, that bad sets take up the place for potential good sets, therefore people don't like them. This is especially true for UCS-sets, where you only get two a year.

Maybe build it around the (expected) final duel between Ashoka and Maul, similiar to Duell on Star Killer or Duell on Mustafar? Since I somehow missed all of the so far it would be an instant buy for me. Personally I don't like Luminara, but it could be a good oportunity to get her with the 'new' skirt instead of normal legs. You know what is funny? There were times when people complained about the amount of B-Wings we got.

Thats why I asked. But to be fair, the XWing is currently one of the most overpriced if the bigger Star Wars sets.

That wouldn't be overprized for a ARC 170, that thing is huge after all.

You mean the 14߀ pricepoint?

From Jedi: Fallen Order I would like to see a Purge-Trooper Battlepack Figures: Two Purge-Troopers with an energy-staff. Two Scout-Troopers with blaster-rifles Builds: A small imperial base with several containers including a weapons-rack for two extra rifles and a pair of energy-sticks. Edit: Altarnative: Imperial Scout Droid, container for ammo and energy sticks, weapon rack imperial probe droid, studshooter-based rocket-launcher.

Always wondered why they decided to make them incompatible. I could think, that those accessory-sets also included the kama and pauldrons which were to replaced by cloth. It's also bad for all the small and medium retailers that can't afford to reduce the prices that much.
