[@MrRyancarr13]

A dual molded Imperial Officer isn't even in the same league of desirability as a Phase 2 Cody. Literally nobody feels forced to buy the UCS Star Destroyer to get an Imperial Officer, but many WOULD feel forced to buy a UCS Gunship if Cody was exclusive to it

[@jynxyouowemeasoda5066]

They deadass know damn well

[@ianbuswell1792]

I’m worried for this set. I think the concept is great, and I hope LEGO does more 18+ display scenes (I think there are endless ideas which could be done for this series). However, LEGO has a history of making a crappy version of a product, and, instead of working to improve it, canceling the line altogether (see may the 4th figures). I’m worried the price will harm sales enough to cancel these sets

[@shaunw9092]

But hey, they used a ton of new molds on Vidiyo, which is apparently cancelled now.

[@jpslegoreviews]

For me it isn't the price but the execution of the set but if Lego is smart enough, they'll wait it out and release other sets like this first and see what their sales count is

[@graypeacock1151]

this aged surprisingly well 🤣 we’ve got a bunch of very good diorama sets now

[@BlameitonLoren]

My two flaws with it is how gappy it is when fully closed and it’s price...

[@OfficialTornadoboy]

For that price, it should've had printed pieces instead of stickers.

[@mattmosk7640]

Especially with how difficult the round stickers are to get on

[@kumanaz2765]

I honestly don’t think this one translated very well into LEGO form with the large gaps in between pieces. It’s a good concept though.

[@star-lord3079]

Completely agree

[@1tsjaboisam973]

If I get it I am definitely going to mod it

[@bitesthedust69]

Lego went too hard on the base plate, and lacked with the details on the actual meditation chamber in my opinion. I feel they really wanted to boost up that piece count/ridiculous price, but nonetheless the sticker in the set is really nice though

[@justinfain1752]

They could have added similar functionality like they did in set 75183 (Darth Vader Transformation). It wouldn’t even need to “work”, but it would be a place to hold the helmet.

The idea is nice, but the realization is a bit sad ... The frame to lift the dome is too simple and visible. 🤔🙋🏻‍♂️

[@343Films]

Agreed. If they really couldn't avoid having the crane stick up so prominently, they could have at least put a nicely designed wall immediately behind it as a backdrop. I know that would remove the "360°" nature of the set, but as it stands who's really looking at this thing from the back anyway? The crane obscures it and is just an eyesore.

At 7:46, I would also be dissapointed with the assult on Hoth as it only contained 2 snowtroopers.

[@collectorempire_km]

Still don’t see the worth for it being $70. The Bespin Duel was $40, had the same Vader and a more desirable figure with Bespin Luke. Bespin Duel was more of a display piece as well. I don’t see the $30 more worth in this. A pass for me. Bespin Duel was more worth it and yes I have it.

[@collectorempire_km]

@@repticare101 well can look at it that way but then if it wasn’t wide released then why was it not more than this set that is with less desirable figures?

[@endeavor4178]

@@peachdevils3893 well, it IS overpriced

[@fritz4665]

True! For me it feels more like a 30 or 40$ set because of how less real „material“ is on there. Most of the parts go into the black stands and this isnt really adding value in my opinion. Also the fact that there are this less figures it makes it more a 30$ set. As I am saying price per piece is irrelevant if the set doesnt give you enough for such a price

[@ryanallredwritesfiction13]

yeesh, I just bought it today and I'm perfectly happy with it, it's not overpriced, it's just fine.

[@dillpicklehaha]

“With the correct imperial logo” 😂😂

[@dennismoon6693]

I'm glad I was able to order this, and I realize there are limitations to what can be done at the scale, but can't help thinking that they could have done a little more to close the gaps in the chamber shell. It also wouldn't been cool to have the option of removing the display screen and replacing it with a Palpatine hologram.

[@optjack]

Man, now I really want a Sith Throne in this form.....

[@peachdevils3893]

Always thought this scene was really funny in the sense that he just fucking kills admiral ozzle

[@doug__uk]

Reviewing the sequence I don't think Vader is wearing his cape in the chair. Means having back and arm printing more important. Also when displaying no cape prevents it being creased.

[@mikem8145]

You're totally right, Vader is not wearing his cape.

[@simorto]

i did a MOC of this scene when i was like 10 and no one thought about making this at that time, also made a mini atat and a double pump and night vision glasses and same for that

[@___David__]

This really looks like a set that had been made as a regional exclusive for SDCC and that, after the utter fiasco of last year's general release, LEGO decided to turn into a normal set. Good. Because I really like it. The only thing that would be nice, to me, would be to have an easier way to make Vader turn in his chair, instead of having to stick our fingers in there. If that could be coordinated with the top opening, that'd have been just perfect.

[@oakularoregon6623]

I can tell that this is a really good LEGO set, impressive review from what I can tell. I hope they make an 18+ Old Republic sets.

[@platatopus]

The way to hide away General Veer's pistol is to attach it to vader's saber. Stores both weapons well imo 👀

[@gohanbeatz9798]

The detail is perfect. That's why ima say, "It's to die for."

[@Chekmate99]

the one flaw I have with this set is the three circular injection marks that exist on the back/under side of the black panels. they appear (see through) on the front side of the rectangular black panel parts that are used on the base and chamber. This particular part is used throughout the base and sides of the chamber. For a display piece I would expect the black panels to have a shiny solid color as pictured on the box.

[@putitawo74]

"Taller" does not equal "bigger." There's a lot of empty space in this build compared to those cheaper sets; a better comparison would be weight.
