For further context of how hugely overpriced this is, this costs the same as 76269 Avengers Tower, which has almost three times the number of figures and is a drastically larger set. Knocking $100 to meet the so-called perfect price per part ratio is being too generous; this needs $150 knocked off because there just isn't that much substance here even at $400, so $350 is where it should be. Am I being too harsh and asking too much? Yes, but then so is Lego asking for half a grand for a set that's a lot smaller than other sets of the same price range.

Interesting interiors, but maybe they could have had more space for the band near Jabba. But this seems more like a playset than display piece and should be cheaper for parents to buy their kids. That being said, the leg details on Slave Leia could have been done better or more accurate. The crimson loincloth color could extend down almost to the feet, and be painted just in the center, having the flesh color of the legs on the side. The outfit also had short green booties. As it is, Leia looks like she's wearing a pair of shorts and ready to stand knee deep in a creek looking for crawdads.

The failure in product management here is posing this a UCS when it very clearly should have been a Master Builder Series like the Mos Eisley Cantina set as it’s striving to be both a display piece and a play-set. Thus the pricing is out of line, and the ridiculous decision to save a few bucks and use the later “fat Fortuna” headpiece in lieu of the correct original one just shows how little they now respect accuracy and the buyer. This doesn’t even touch on the lack of all the other characters and the missing Skiff/Sarlac pit… I adore my original fake-controversy Jabba’s Palace and the later Jabba’s Barge and Skiff sets…. Hard pass on this set.

The idiocy and disrespect of the SW team has reached a new level. There is so much wrong with this set. It could have been done right and it would be a day 1 buy even for the 500eur if done right.

Leia was simply censored for woke and political reason in a set designed for adults, purchased solely by adults ... Why u need that GWP ? Are u insane or die hard box collector ? Cant you built if from own/purchased bricks ? - if you buy it day one to get the GWP, you make it 150eur worth to u. How can a kitchen with never before exclusive figure (long overdue) sell for 40eur while the sabers (pile of bricks with a plaquete u can print on a sticker on your own printer) are 100eur - i dont get it Especially when for 100eur u can get a real metal replica with led glowing blade designed for dueling, with sounds and motion sensors - i was hasitant to get a lightsaber when the pricepoint for replicas was at 300-400 but at 100e i have 2 now and looking for more - it totaly another dimension to hold the saber, swing it, choosing your favorite blade color, dueling with it - rather than just looking at an inaccurate brick built which is just collecting dust on the shelves - i really dont understand the need for lego statues and helmets when there are other product much better at the job, lego is good for worldbuild, scenarios with minifigures, or building your custom vehicle and ships because its easy to use the bricks rather than do a real modeling or 3D modeling.

I know ppp is sometimes a hard use of comparison depending on the pieces you get but when comparing with the other 2 the break down is: 2006 sail barge was 9.6c /piece 8 figs 2013 sail barge was 14.1c/ piece 6 figs 2024 sail barge is 12.7c/ piece 11 figs So with that being said, it is expensive but seems on par with how they’ve been pricing

2024 - 76269 Avengers Tower - 9.6 c/piece, 30 figs (dont count that brickbuilt robot for a fig, also has one huge fig and one tiny fig), also a licensed set from Disney -> STAR WARS is a rip-off and no wonder its a diminishing brand

@@Lilf1ip_ that means SW was always a rip-off. Sad thing is i love the vehicle too and i want to add it to my Tatooine diorama together with cavegods sandcrawler when i ever finish it. But the quality of the final product is atrocious - so i have to build a MOC anyway - maybe will get inspiration from the instructions. The AT-AT was a great build but too overpriced with no bonus to really justify the price - not even at 650eur so i purchased the needed special parts, added a ton of my own LBG bricks and will build 2 following the official instructions, i have several Veerse versions already, multiple drivers and tons of snowtroopers

Years ago, back when I was still working for LEGO. Somewhere between the Ship in a Bottle and Creators Expert Gingerbread House the issue was fixed so around 2018/2019.

Exactly the same price as Rivendell, which has EVEN MORE figures, and over 2200 pieces more! Same with the Razor Crest (although that's slightly more in price). Both are infinitely more interesting sets to build, rather than being a great big slab of a single-coloured exterior.

For a company based in Denmark they definitely seem to have become Americanized with the attitude of bigger is way better. I would have been happier if this had been half the size. And $500?! They’re even pricing me out of even the smaller sets just based on how much they’re charging for how little they’re giving you.

very great set. I have a question, what is the exact height from the ground to the highest point of the sails?
Salacious had a colorful naming back story, beginning with a Tipsy team member slurring SHOE LACES which evolved into Salacious... The B. Crumb is homage to a famous perverted cartoonist, as the Lizard Monkey sat alongside Enslaved Leia.

This set reminds me of the 2014 UCS Sandcrawler. The 2014 UCS Sandcrawler has 3296 parts, and retailed for $300. The UCS Sail Barge only has 646 more parts, but cost $200 more? Comparing these two sets makes me feel like a better price for the UCS Sail Barge would be in the $350-$400 range. Price aside, I am curious to see what these two sets look like compared to each other, they both seem to have many similarities.
@andersalstrup30774 ай бұрын
if adjusting for inflation, 300 usd in 2014 would be worth about 400 today. No idea how exactly licensing works, but I'd imagine Jabba and Leia in addition to some other new characters and unique parts (and more in total) like the fabric of the sails could be why its 100 more after the inflation cost
