[@MCLegoboy]

Hard disagree on the minifigure situation. Yes, there was the Planet Sets line, and I love them dearly, but those felt more like they were geared towards kids with the option for display for older demographics. A fun mini model that wasn't difficult to build, a character to go on adventures with, planets to pretend you're taking the ship out of hyperspace and ready to land, or if you so chose, you could turn them into Christmas Tree ornaments. And while there were a few exclusive minifigures across the whole line, they weren't treated as being super special must haves, they were there for kids to populate their armies or give someone else a chance to pilot a ship if they had the larger playset version. Adding a minifigure to these display pieces feels more like a gimmick to get people to buy a set they otherwise wouldn't, as if the models can't stand on their own merits. This is also why I feel like UCS sets need don't minifigures. The sheer size and detail on the model is the statement. A display piece should be able to speak for itself and only include minifigures if it is in fact minifigure scaled to show off that particular aspect of the model's scale. Now don't get me wrong, I will always be appreciative to receive minifigures even though I don't feel they are warranted, I love my UCS Landspeeder with a C-3PO that has a dual molded leg so that the print of his silver leg doesn't just cut off at the knee (why even print that detail at that point?), but you're also just as likely to get a situation that occurred with the UCS Gunship where, while the minifigures are impressive, are not the ones people were asking for and really didn't quite fit with the ship either. The market is also flooded with overpriced minifigures that are exclusive to sets, and all because they added one detail that wasn't there before, it's ridiculous. I want that Invisible Hand because it's never been made before, and will make for an excellent addition to my Invasion of Coruscant display, not because it came with Grievous with an exclusive cape or a remake of Count Dooku (even if it has been 10 years since he last appeared). I already own the original Midi Falcon, and while this new one looks great, I feel no pressure or desire to buy it because it comes with Han wearing his gloves from A New Hope, or has some other new detail LEGO would inevitably add to him to give some kind of rarity to the set. Folks are too focused on minifigures, and while I would be lying that they have never influenced my decision to pick up a set, Star Wars is not Marvel where people would likely buy a set because a particular hero has finally been made in minifigure form with the rest of the set, as good or bad as it may be, being superfluous, the ships and locations in Star Wars are just as iconic and recognizable as the characters, some even more so, and they can hold their own, on their own. I'll still happily receive minifigures, but also say that if the Invisible Hand included Grievous and/or Dooku, I wouldn't be surprised at a $10 price hike, which can very easily make a set too much for me when my real attention is on a ship they can't even fit in or I can't really use elsewhere in my collection. I'm not one to buy and sell figures free of sets, it's all or nothing, which I'm sure is really stupid to some people, but superfluous minifigures is also how you get things like Fives and Malak in sets that don't even relate to them, and they're going to be very expensive in the aftermarket. If you don't think the same would happen, even with appropriately themed figures in these Starship Collection sets, you don't know just how nuts things can get.

[@chedder_chandlure4363]

Wholeheartly agree! I want these sets for the build, not a slapped on minifigure. People feel too mini figure crazy tbh, the builds are the heart and soul of lego

[@benbot5173]

I know they’re more expensive for the size of ship you’re getting, but for me the detail makes up for it. For me, these sets are perfect, exactly what I want in a display model series

[@randomdude1337]

I haven't been collecting Lego since I was a child with the original Star Wars line. But these sets brought me back, starting with the Tie Bomber and later Nebulon B Frigate. I picked up the Tantive IV and Executor as well, these are perfect scale for shelf display. On my radar are The Invisible Hand, and the tantive IV hallway. I've always wanted Rebel fleet troopers since I was a kid, and displaying one of them on the stand of the Tantive IV starship would be perfect.

[@FoolECK]

You could argue the same about helmet collection - why didn't they include a figure there if each helmet is linked to a specific character? I am a person who doesn't care as much about minifigs - I prefer the builds. And if that series meant bumping the price for another $5-$10 only to include the minifig - hard pass. Not every set has to have a minifig. On another topic - I will not stop saying that: why are your videos so silent?

[@CBMX_GAMING]

I like it, I hate when youtubers have annoying intros and background music

[@pixlhound]

I think the point being made here though, is that at the price point they are already marketing them at, they should have a figure. Plus, if you don't care for the minifigures, it's perfect - a lot of people specifically want them. Selling them on recoups a lot more of your money than you would save by not having them at all.

[@joevictor53]

I totally agree. Way too many of these KZbinrs are obsessed with minifigures and just need them in every set. I like them too but not every set needs them. Sets like these are meant as display items for adult collectors to put on a shelf or a desk. They don't need figures to go with them

Just finished building the Invisible hand. Really happy I got it.

[@flamingbunnyrabbits]

Honestly, I don't need ANOTHER Darth Vader, Han, Chewbacca etc. I am fine without a minifig. Let the set be just purely about the build and design. Not another Venator disaster where minifig fanatics are buying the set and parting it out (or worse) just to scalp the minifigs. The real problem with these sets are that they're asking for nearly a $100 for a Millennium Falcon model the same size as a $30 or $40 set, with stickers instead of prints, the plastic cost DOES NOT add up. I would be absolutely shocked if they cost to produce any of these in the starship collection is more than half of their MSRP. I love the designs and concept and will absolutely grab one when they come out with one of my favorite ships.

[@jackmcmahon6964]

Personally, I want more of these! They’re good to display, they’re good to zoom, the price isn’t exhaustive. Of course I want them cheaper, of course I want my pick a bricks to be cheaper- but realistically, THESE are the Star Wars sets I want to own and purchase :)

[@TimOliver]

As a fully grown adult, sheepishly buying my first Lego set since childhood, I don't think I'd have done it if there was a minifigure attached. Without one I can just about convince myself I'm model building rather than playing with toys 😆. My guess is Lego are being pretty savvy by doing this. I can't be the only one - an adult at an age where there is disposable income, prone to nostalgia and teetering on embarrassment about it. They know exactly what they're doing. Absolutely loved making the Falcon.

[@Slapshotpops]

[@childofthenite9244]

I just use my existing figs, Han for my Falcon, Vader for my executor, etc. My friends buy cheap off-hand figs because *it's on a shelf, you won't see it up close anyway*

[@Beer_Dad1975]

Printed vs. sticker elements will simply come down to forecast sales numbers - the Falcon is forecast to sell more (long term), so they allow more budget for its production. Don't care about the figures other than General Grievous because I don't have him - have multiple of every other characters (can't even estimate how many Darth Vader figures I have at this point!) so I can put them on if I want to - but I find that figures on display sets actually detract from the display aesthetics. Most mini-figures are not actually that great to look at - they are after all designed primarily for kids to play with - whereas the display sets are not for play. For me, any figures I get in a set invariably just end up in a big box with all my other figures.

[@adriangoesvroom]

I don’t care about the prices, I love building smaller starships packed with detail. The millennium falcon is my favorite, you can actually fly it around with one hand, instead of carefully handling a play set scale version.

[@redsaints]

The problem with the midi scale ships was that it is not a collection, they were one offs. But if they release more you can display them really well.

[@darthsentinel]

I’m always so, so confused when people say they want a figure. I’ve legit never understood it! I’ve hated the minifigs ever since I was a kid. They live in plastic bags in my drawers where I don’t have to see them. I’m so glad these sets didn’t come with any that I had to discard.

[@jmurray1110]

[@kriskrieger9960]

I was originally against there being minifigures in the starship collection sets because I thought it would distract from the build, but the longer I thought about it, the more I'm for it (especially after seeing the 25th anniversary minifigures, I would have preferred to have them in these sets). At the end of the day, it doesn't hurt to get more, & if you don't like the minifigure, you can simply remove it from the stand.

[@Britdarg]

As someone not particularly interested in this line of sets, I'm torn on including a figure. On one hand, it would be nice, but on the other hand I think it very much limits what ships can be made. Take the Invisible Hand for instance, if this line were to include a figure in each set, then all the pieces for General Grevious would need to be brought back after not having been in production since 2021. Because of the nature of the figure, it would inflate the price quite a bit. Additionally, for potential ships in this line like a Venator, Luserhulk, or Mon Calamari Cruiser, a new figure would need to be made. I really don't see Lego making a new figure and using up alloted prints on it rather than using it for some printed pieces on the actual ship, so cool ideas for ships would not get made. In the end, it would just end up with getting figures that came in other sets as the bonus figure in question (look at the Captain America's shield or Thor's hammer, both came with figures that were not exclusive, albeit the Thor figure did debut in the hammer.) Figures would be neat bonuses but in my opinion, I think they are simply not fit for this line of sets

[@deang5386]

I also wish these starships came with minifigs. Glad I have Han Solo from the Millennium Falcon Microfighter and Chewbacca from the recent Christmas set that came out last year to go with this new Millennium Falcon.

The Falcon is the most Iconic ship in Star Wars. Most don't even know what movie/show the IH is from. Of course it's going to get the premium treatment (and pricing).

[@berengerchristy6256]

Lego probably anticipates it to sell the most by a considerable margin, so it’s worth it to give it prints

[@Snazzeo]

I truly do not care about minifigures in these. They’re not scaled with minifigures in mind at all, and the whole point of sets in this scale is to provide an interesting building experience at a more affordable price. Including minifigures would most definitely bump the price of each of these sets up at least another $5 and I don’t see the point for just having the guy who owns the ship standing next to it

It's a model of a ship, so adding a minifig to the stand would distract from the main focus of the set, which is a nice display piece of one of your favourite ships from the SW universe. If I got a minifig with my Super Star Destroyer set I think I would just permanently take it off the stand, as I did with the 40 years anniversary brick. It's not beneficial for the aesthetics of the model.

I can only hope high demand for the invisible hand means we'll get a larger scale one in the future. I could readily see this as an excellent $150-$250 large playscale set. If there is ever a UCS version, I'm kind of hoping it's around half the size of the venator but with neat internal details taking notes from the Razor Crest; the UCS venator is far too big, imo, and the lack of any neat interior lessens its appeal to me as a collector item because collector items are all about detail, and since lego is a building toy, internal details actually matter since how it's built is just as important to how it looks. I'm not too beat up over the lack of figures; they'd be nice, sure, but I'd have a much harder time justifying an extra $10 or more just for the added on figure. Figures to me are an important part of playsets and master builder sets, as they help bring an extra level of interactivity and "life" to a set, but they're not a big deal for display-oriented sets.

I 100% agree, include a minifigure Lego!

[@Montyh7]

absolutely not - then the whole thing becomes about them and not the build. Breath of fresh air they are not included.

[@benoitporrot5392]

I disagree, we all bought these for the build, just like the USC Venator. I mean sure, the minifigures were a big deal to get in that, especially Rex, but people who bought the Venator for the Venator too. And also, let's say it's about the minifigures more than the build. So what? Is it a crime to buy something for the minifigures? Personally, I bought one of these sets and I really wish it would have had a minifigure, I would have happily paid more...@@Montyh7

I honestly disagree about the minifigs. I’ve gotten to the point where, if not having a minifig means spending as much as 10 or 15 dollars less, and I still get a beautiful starship to display on a shelf with proper proportions for a reasonable price, that’s a steal. This is a golden age for Lego, as they’re finding ways to appeal to everyone, including people like me (I assume I’m not alone in my position of loving Lego, wanting beautiful “legos for adults” models, but not wanting to spend too much per set). I used have a much larger collection than I do now, and I used to have a mentality that would’ve demanded for at least one minifig per set, so I understand the desire for more, but I’m not sure Lego is appealing to that mentality here, and for that I’m actually grateful

[@BrickTemplar]

It’s not meaning 15 dollars less. It means you pay the same price, but get a set without a mini figure.

[@marcellofrisina6460]

@@BrickTemplar yes but if Lego actually put minifigs into these sets, in all sensibility, the prices would go up. This sort of pricing isn’t unique to these sets. Any Lego set would cost these prices for these number of pieces and high build quality, and any Lego set would get marked up to cost more if Lego put in minifigs. I agree legos are expensive, but that’s another conversation entirely

[@kerryhayward9407]

I’m not sure why people complain about the price hike with Lego, sorry guys but the cost of everything has gone up, the good thing about Star Wars Lego most of these sets keep their value. This is a fantastic series

[@roccoborghetti4693]

The only way I’ll get the Invisible Hand is if they release a Venator or an Acclamator. Then I’ll do the Star destroyer coming out and I’ll track down the Tantive IV unless they do the Home One. I need to have like a “versus” or a ship from each faction otherwise my OCD would murder me.

[@mikeismora]

beyond the value and community excitement, adding a minifig is even more attractive for the display. it visually balances out the 25 years tile.

[@Smokey_Smokes710]

I'm not really seeing a reason why a fig needs to be included. Yes it would be nice as if it were a ucs set. But then the scalper problem would arise. They'd be opened, the figs ripped out and then resold separately. Let's not forget that Lego would be charging the customer even more foe the sets. It's wishful thinking to think the sets would stay the same price. The falcon and tantive are already overpriced. The issue that I have is stickers. They should not be putting stickers in sets valued and sold at over $50 in my opinion, it feels lazy and scammy. No other midi scale set has ever had a figure go with it

[@SERKO20]

Am I the only one who sees two great designs and one defective? I like the Halcon and the Tantive IV is pure elegance

[@scolioreset]

For "midi-scale", I do believe minifigures can or should be included. At least one that indeed matches the associate commander or captain. Admiral Piett (Executor), Captain Antilles (Tantive IV). Heck, if they make Home One without Ackbar, this is gonna be a missed opportunity. A Midi-Scale TIE Advanced focusing on the details rather play function would be something I would purchase if it does include Vader (or not, since I love the TIE Advanced). Imagine the Endor Speeder Bike without Paploo. Now that would be a controversy. The NES and TV set doesn't include a regular minifig so a case can be made. But Star Wars needs its characters.

[@ryaninthiran9862]

It also kinda sucks that they called it the "Starship" collection, because now they can only do starships, and certain things are now restricted from being made as they are not starships, such as maybe an AT-AT or an AT-TE
