Exactly what I'm thinking, without the guard they could just steer it away from jabba and wave goodbye😂 I Hate it when they cheap out on minifigs this way, if it had the figures it has now + the weequay guard, I would likely buy it, without him though I'm gonna pass and wait for the next iteration¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@pysz6748]

We pay extra for sand. Also the sarlacc pit is a pit. It goes into the ground, not resting on a sand hill. Please everyone, wait for all these new sets to on on sale. They aren’t going anywhere. They will come back in stock. We allow these prices to continue by not being able to contain ourselves.

[@HoldenEvans75]

Preach!

[@rodrign007]

Dude what are you smoking. The whole reason the sand is included in this set is to give off the illusion that the sarlacc is in its pit. The monster is clearly in the ground not on top of it. Without the sand how do you actually think they’d do it? Look at every other sarlacc put we’ve gotten. If you sit it on a table it won’t look like a pit it sits on top of the table. That’s why the sand is here, to make it look like a pit. You need glasses?

that's honestly true. if we properly boycotted because of price, LEGO might change things up in the future.

[@jamesadowney]

David. I remain consistently appreciative of your accurate and unbiased reviews despite your ongoing relationship with LEGO. I personally think the nose on this skiff should’ve had more point and less of an acute angle if you look at the original source material. The very first they ever came out withcaptured that well in that 1999/2000 style. Given what they were able to do shape wise with Boba Fett starships, I’m pretty sure they could have combo different slope shapes together to achieve this better than what they did here

[@Thechamp128]

I think they should’ve added a Jabba’s henchman to the set!😕

We have never got Nien Numb as a figure before we have had 2 variants of Ten Numb who is a completely different character, 1 from 2006 B-Wing and 1 from 2014 B-Wing.

[@QuiGonJeans]

Great review David. I also commend you for being critical, which in my opinion you always are very fair and don’t understand some of the previous comments saying you’re biased, I never got that feeling. I totally agree that this is extremely overpriced, but if the UCS Barge rumors are true, it’s gonna be very difficult for me to not want this side by side to the barge 🥲 which I think was the point of the pricing of this set as you’ve stated. I wish I had the willpower to wait for a price decrease, and I shouldn’t complain about the price if I’m getting it once the barge comes out, again, if the rumors are true. One thing that is a huge miss from this set is LEGO not going the extra mile detail-wise and not giving us a ROTJ Boba Fett. The 2017 was more accurate in this regard. I would’ve also appreciated a weequay skiff guard.

very nice to see this review in conjunction with the Battle on Peridea set, because the comments over there are talking about how you're shilling for a product you're genuinely excited about (albeit one that is maybe a bit overpriced) whereas here you're certainly not shilling at all and giving some extremely valid criticism with its price point in mind. this really is why i trust you so much as a reviewer, especially compared to people who really do just want to nitpick every single detail and label anything below a 10/10 as a bad set

Definitely can't see myself picking this set up

[@Wertys]

Add the second skiff, raise them both up so they can actually be above the pit. Add in some of the guards that Luke takes out when he does the springboard move. Give Boba Fett his pauldron so it actually looks like Return of the Jedi Boba. And then maybe adjust the pit so it looks more like a pit in the ground and not a weird hill. All of a sudden $80 feels perfect. Hell at that point, maybe it would need to be closer to $100 and not feel so bad either.

[@devynsmith]

Isn't that an Empire Strikes Back Boba Fett too??

[@user-ir4nj7pb1f]

That’s why I started buying bricks from alternate brands

[@dylanchicorel]

The Boba Fett needed to be an updated Episode 6 version, with a cloth pauldron, and the set really needed at least two of the skiff guards. But at $80, the set really should have included the other Desert Skiff from the scene. No way I'll pick this up for more than $60.

[@harperluthi898]

If we’re talking price per piece, the inflation adjusted average ppp is about thirteen cents per piece, NOT ten cents per piece as was the standard ten years ago. With that standard, this set should be priced at around $70. So still a bit pricey imo but not as big a deal as people make it out to be.

[@satansshadow218]

I've seen a lot of people saying they will buy this set when it's on sale. Do you think that's why some sets lately have been overpriced? So lego can "reduce" the price during a sale to what it should actually be. Instead of releasing it at £50 and then reducing it more?

[@jimwar211]

Yes. When I was younger Lego was never on sale because it was the most popular toy. Now in some stores sets are launching with a discount already applied, yet Lego keeps making billions of dollars and record profits most years.
