All that matters is having trending tags on listicles to bait people into looking at disguised ads. When Buzzfeed pioneered this format they also had quizes meant to collect user data to sell to advertisers.

It pairs really well with the 501st specialist pack and also pairs well with the Endor speeder chase. Why it pairs well, you may ask? Well, it just does

*My top 10 Lego Star Wars 2023 sets:* Honorable mention to the paper bags, where Bo Katan, Scout Trooper & Storm Trooper really were great! 10. 75352 Emperor's Throne room diorama (Best diorama of the year and iconic scene, great for those who collect them) 9. 75347 Tie Bomber (Iconic ship and great design) 8. 75354 Coruscant Guard Gunship (It's great that there was a new Gunship but sadly some inaccuracies like the wings) 7. 75362 Ahsoka Tano's T-6 Shuttle (It's a great redesign but sadly there is no design on the bottom of the ship) 6. 75364 New Republic E-Wing vs Shin Hati's Starfighter (Great design, good minifigure selection, accurate) 5. 75345 501st Specialists Battle Pack (Great to combine with the larger 501st Battle Pack and great for army building) 4. 75348 Mandalorian Fang Fighter vs TIE Interceptor (2 ships in 1 set is always a big win, both are great) 3. 75356 Midi-scale Executor (Great for the wallet and great design, love the small Star Destroyers included) 2. 75357 The Ghost & Phantom II (Fans wanted an updated Ghost and it's nice the scale of the Phantom II is better) 1. 75367 UCS Venator (Fans wanted this for years and it's finally here, it's an iconic ship)

i agree with the battlepack on number one place, its a good set at a good pricepoint. it's perfect as a gift. clone wars fans are really happy with this set as we didn't got much lego sets for season 7 clone wars, and i personally can't wait to army build with this set, the helmet holes discussion is really last years debate, it isn't that big of a deal, we have had helmet holes in a lot of sets now, and lego isn't changing its mind about it, we just have to deal with it and accept it. the swamp speeder does bother me but honestly who buys the battlepack for the build, you can make lots of things with the parts, that's what lego is for.

I looked at this list in a different perspective. This list is probably more for the outsiders, the casual fans of legos. Not people like us.

Nah the list is definitely not for outsiders. I thought it was going to be at first but it’s just too random. If it was for outsiders the x wing and the venator and probably even the buildable Chewbacca would be in the top 3. Just because they’re iconic and “big lego sets” is always the most cliche and trendiest topic for the general public no matter how much they cost.

@@fivelonelyclones The venator is not as popular as you'd think.

Who's buying a $650 christmas present? Meanwhile the X-wing is high on the list and the most iconic ship in all of star wars if not all of film media. The buildable characters have never been a hit vs the ships so that's a silly suggestion. The ahsoka battlepack is the easiest slam dunk when looking at sales data.
