>>11523197 (OP)
>>11523203
This looks a lot better than I expected imo

>>11523206
That definitely is not the box

A fucking wheel lmao

>>11523210
Probably the box within a box thing

>>11523197 (OP)
I hate to say it but this seems shockingly nice. I was worried when the measurements leaked and we found out it is wasnt a full sphere but this kinda works. Have to see the whole thing but I'm pleasantly surprised. That being said it's not like I'll ever actually buy it

>>11523197 (OP)
Is the bottom middle photo not just a picture of the throne room diorama from a few years ago? That would be very bizarre for them to almost perfectly recreate that set within a different set. But then again that does look like what they did with the slightly altered trash compactor diorama also pictured there.

>>11523216
>not a sphere
wait... what?

>>11523221
It's a wheel, like a slice. See the illustration on the right >>11523203. That's its depth

>HALF SPHERE DIORAMA
u can't make it up
they're going for that buy 2 sets to complete your pyramid again
HAHAHA

>>11523226
It's not half a sphere. 2 of them wouldn't make a sphere

>>11523224
I'll have to wait to see more but... 999 us dollars for a slice? I thought the peak here would be in the engineering, a fully sphere + the playability of the 2nd death star.

Not a new pic. Just a reminder of a previous leak

>>11523226
It's shaped like a wheel anon, two of these combined would result in a wider wheel, not a complete sphere, several combined would probably look like a cylinder.

For $1000 I would expect a real death laser

>>11523197 (OP)
That’s no wheel… it’s a space station!

>>11523203

Someone posted the actual box pic on reddit. It looks like shit.

Ta daa

>>11523203
It looks like it will have an elevator running up and down, I hope that at this price point it can at least function with opening doors and moving between floors

>>11523243
Pretty bitchin not gonna lie. Price is still outrageous

the leaks recreated in minecraft are funny as fuck

Fuck the tiny tank, this is the worst Lego Star Wars set of all time.

>>11523243
I just dont understand how this is ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS

>>11523243
Looks a lot better than I expected

>>11523243
Unironically looks good. Not 1000 dollars good. Would not even buy it half off. But looks nice

>>11523240
It's a $1000 display for the minifigures, yikes!

>>11523253
>>11523244
Looks like there's nothing unique lego-engineering-wise going on to justify 999 dollars
can't believe this, I'm gonna throw a melty

There was zero chance they could pull off something like this with the new Lego standards of hyperdetail, brickm smoothing and realism

>>11523266
Most overrated set of all time

>>11523243
>Death Star 1 and Death Star 2 mixed together
Gross

>>11523258
I'm scrolling past this thread, so I don't really know lego that much
But what else would it be, and I don't mean that sarcastically, I wouldn't know

>>11523270
It's an awesome playset actually, not a display piece

>>11523266
This one is actually round too

What could(should) have been...

>>11523197 (OP)
>>11523243
Bruh look at this dude LOOK AT THE TOP OF HIS HEAD OH NO NO NO

The problem here is:
Minifigs
Some won't wanna hear it. But lego knows what sells, that's why they made a 40+ minifig display set. Sad but Jang is right

>>11523243
>That generator thing obiwan disables probably won't even fall because otherwise it would just land on top of the ship
>Putting Luke hook swing in the same room
Ugh

>>11523275
A playset, what lego used to do before they decided every big set had to be these giant dust collectors with barely any interesting play features or cool building techniques. Most of the time building these fucking things is spent on the interior structures with a bunch of different colored bricks.

>>11523232
>>11523243
There has to be more rooms on the other side right? Because I don't see the stormtrooper jacuzzi

>>11523203
HAHAHAHAHAHA

>>11523258
This is shit but if you think about it, the deathstar is very ugly and boring as a set. There's nothing really good aesthetically about it. It will never be successful like the Millennium Falcon

>>11523286
Good question, I was assuming the other side would be outer detail? It doesn't look deep enough to fit 2 sides but I cant tell

Death Plate

>>11523286
I don't think there is enough depth to have full rooms on the other side, but there might be some small compartments in certain areas? Think the really shitty and undetailed areas on the backs of the diorama sets. This set seems to be 10 mini dioramas all smashed into one and designed to be hung on a wall, so maybe there are some little easter eggs on the back. It's clearly not designed to be viewed from multiple angles like the old Death Star playsets, or something like the MBS Cantina or Betrayal at Cloud City. I guess this explains why we didn't get any minifig scale dioramas this year. One thing I wonder is whether they are calling this UCS or MBS. It looks like the box says MBS but the text is cut off so it's hard to tell.

>>11523295
Yeah people are just coping, the back of this piece of shit won't have any rooms, it will probably have black plates covering the red, blue and yellow bricks holding this shit together and some kind of mounting system to hang on the wall.

>>11523243

Wtf is that?

this could be the set that kills him off for good

>>11523302
Vader's meditation chamber?

>>11523243
So basically a bigger jurassic fart gate diorama. Lol

A sphere would never work for display purposes

>>11523243
Great. Another dust collector. I fuckin hate how modern lego caters to normie AFOLs. I Just want them to go full autist and make it full of play features like they used to.

>>11523302
Vader's meditation chamber.

>>11523310
How did Lego manage to make spherical representations of the Death Star in the past? Did they use some kind of lost technology?

>>11523318
It's called SOUL.

>>11523318
They weren't nearly as large. This thing is 80cm wide

>>11523243
What's going on here? Do the elevators just not line up for no reason?

>>11523335
I assume it just opens in a way that doesn't look very clear in that tiny photo.

>>11523335
The doors slide to the side. There's an elevator that can go up and down the length of the shaft. Most likely the dial in the middle of the model controls this function

>>11523243
What's wrong Anon? Imperial Advisor Shitto(TM) was always in the final duel scene in the movie. He was standing next to the Emperor the whole time. Take your meds.

We are getting electronic minifigs in 2026, no info on which themes yet. Also it seems Pokemon sets will use smart bricks.

Well...

https://strawpoll.com/1Mnwkja4jn7

>>11523243
this is a $400 set that would have been overpriced at $600.

$1,000? This company is completely lost.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2XU4eGG-S8

Is he right?

>>11523197 (OP)
If this set doesn't flop then it's fucking over.

Imagine, how many sets can you buy worth of $1000?

>>11523243
where's the hot tub?

>>11523362
My schizo theory is that since Star Wars is dead among kids, they could be trying to drive minifig scale Star Wars playsets into cancellation to make room for more Star Wars dust collectors and weeb/video game garbage on the playset side.

>>11523364
Like 2 or 3. that's about it really

>>11523368
Or hidden in the other side. There's a single bath stormtrooper so it's not like the Easter egg room will need any actual significant amount of space

>>11523362
As long as budget sets are on Walmart there's literally nothing to worry about, EVEN MORE if star wars fags are the only ones suffering.

>>11523362
it's a pretty compelling argument, the plan may not be sound from a long term standpoint but it might be the reason behind it, though considering this is only reaally happening with star wars sets I'm not sure
>11523369
stop pushing the "star wars being replaced by shonenslop" narrative, it's even more retarded than the inflation excuse and you've done it every single thread for the past year now

>>11523381

I'm just gonna MOC my own death star the way it should have been and I bet you it won't cost me more than $500

>>11523379
>>11523383
Top right is probably the emperor’s personal shitter complete sigh shit brick and sound effects. >>11523196

>>11523386
It might not even be Lego wanting to replace Star Wars with shonenslop. All the stupid decisions on the SW toy front indicate Disney wants to wind the franchise down.
Hasbro SW toys aren't being wounded by unsellable Holdos anymore. Hasbro insists on all sorts of weird scales that collectors won't buy. First it was the Mission Fleet toys that try to sell slightly-improved Playskool figures as regular action figures. Neither kids nor adults want that; it's babyish and inferior. Then, it was the 4" figures that collectors don't want because they're out of scale with everything else. Something weird is going on.

>look up lego trains on Amazon
>the older cargo train set is not only more preferred than the current one but ironically cheaper
what gives? is the older version just better?

>>11523362
No, this is just simple greed, knowing the consumer will still buy, and all part of continual growth. They unironically think they can keep upping the prices and keep growing

>>11523203
OH NONONONO

>>11523351
Fuck off pollshill.

>>11523362
according to this theory, it takes Lego the same amount of "factory time" to make 1 $400 set, as it does to make 1 $10 set?

I might be able to believe that, similar to how you can photocopy a small thing vs a large thing, the photocopier would still run at the same speed

but my instinct says Lego could make a lot more $10 sets rather than $400 sets, but... maybe not 40x

and other than the first The Lego Movie sets, I've NEVER seen sets sell out or be unavailable. they exist on store shelves for years and years. so probably BS on the supply issue, at least

Imagine if all those giant textures on the back are stickers instead of prints lmao.

(For the record the $800 falcon did use stickers)

Don't forget to buy the Lego© Death Star™ on day one for the exclusive Tie Fighter gift with purchase. Very limited stock you do not wanna miss this

will an anon here post the star as they build it?

>>11523395
>All the stupid decisions on the SW toy front indicate Disney wants to wind the franchise down.
that's genuinely retarded if you believe that, Andor Season 2 was one of the biggest shows of the season, EA battlefront 2 is one of the most popular games right now, and the reshowing of Revenge of the sith practically revived talk about the prequels overnight. Not to mention the fact that Star wars has consistently been the best selling theme LEGO has had for the past 20 years, with only CITY and Ninjago having comparable sales. stop deluding yourself into thinking Dragon ball and random flavor of the month garbage is going to be the next big theme, and yes I know your the same retard that kept spamming dragon ball and those cringe "waifu" posts because no one else genuinely believes the nonsense you put out. get a life man

>>11523203
>not even half a sphere
LMAO

It's over. Lego is finished

>>11523209

I'm looking at this and thinking it looks utterly terrible

Ok Slop Wars had its big death star leaks

Can we see the U.S.S. Enterprise now please? Outside the Nacelle figures we don't get shit's worth of merch.

>>11523371
who's the bandana guy with the parrot? the mute?
also lmao at the black chick, she had what, 4 lines in curse?

>>11523197 (OP)
I kinda get it. A truly spherical shape really just isn't conducive toward properly making use of space. The "playset" deathstars frankly suck and the awkward shape makes it hard to have big-enough rooms, or to have enough rooms in the first place. Making it a vertical slice means the individual dioramas can be much better. Same issue with the MBS cloud city set. Making it a horizontal circle means awkward room design and poor space efficiency,

Having said that, it really should've been round on the back half, so that it can be displayed with either interior or exterior forward. Alternatively, if the set is a big collection of dioramas, it would've been much cooler if they just continued to make more small dioramas (trash compactor, throne room, etc) and then have them be modular or something.
Also, regardless of design, there really aren't enough figs. I believe I paid 300 for the cantina set and that had over 20 figures in it. This doesn't even have double that for 3x the price. And if anything, the higher price should have an inverse curve and include proportionately MORE figures

At any rate, gonna be a pass. I do wish they would make more master builder series though. The cantina is absolutely GOATED and I hate how few SW locations/buildings get made into lego sets, with the focus being almost exclusively on vehicles. Hoping for jabba's palace to one day get the MBS treatment.

>>11523411
the stickers on UCS sets are flat-out unforgivable. My 20 dollar lego star wars sets from 25 years ago all used prints for everything, but for some reason even UCS sets costing several hundred dollars can't be bothered. I bough the jango slave 1 and overall I like the model, but I didn't put a single sticker on. I'd rather have those parts of the build be slightly incorrect than have shitty stickers, especially prominently on the exterior.

>huge increase in price
>Decreasing construction quality
>Nonsensical releases

None of this is happening with other lego series

I can only the problem is coming from Disney and Lego is the reacting by the way it's acting

Like how else can you explain what is going on?

>>11523243
This seems like a weird level/room with nothing on it. I bet that's where the hidden jacuzzi is

>>11523516
They’ve kind of abandoned the MBS and it’s a shame. I agree on Jabba’s Palace and there are a bunch of prequel locations I want to see. Top of the list is coruscant clubs from Episode II with a remake of Zam’s speeder and Anakin/Obi-Wan’s speeder. And Kamino would be great too.

>star wars nerds coping with their first signs of theme collapse

>>11523521
I was under the impression they were operating under fuck-you-you'll-buy-it-anyway logic, or at the very least testing exactly how much they can get away with. Disney might be awful in every way possible, but Lego's perfectly fine with being atrocious on their own.

>>11523565
>>11523576
By an insider (homo), yawn, give us some actual news for once instead of the gray turds

>>11523243

I think it looks pretty good, but it looks more like a moc than a real set.

I just don't really know who the market this is for. I can imagine adult collectors dropping big cash for those detailed sets that look like scale models, but this is essentially a gigantic doll house play set. Last time Lego did this with the Cloud City master builder series set, it did not sell well.

The old sphere death stars were even super pricey. Doing a 4-5 storey tall platform without walls like the kenner toy for $200 or so would mean kids could actually get it for Christmas / Birthdays.

>>11523197 (OP)
Am I the only one hyped to rebrick that mini Imperial Shuttle?

>>11523258
It's about $800 too much

>>11523672
Window is too high up. Looks like shit. 1000 better mocs exist.

>>11523243
price and shape aside, at least the floors are solid and fully covered with tiles, not some some cheap 1 plate thick stud desert.

>>11523243
How in gods name is that 9023 pieces.

This would've been better.

>>11523413
I think I will just wait for someone here to throw it away so I can dig it out of the trash for free.

>>11523228
I think if you bought six of the sets you could MOC a sphere out of them.

>>11523521
Bullshit

Disney is not to blame, Lego is

>>11523228
What if you bought six sets? You could MOC a sphere out of them.

>>11523725

>>11523541
Yeah, and it's a damn shame. MBS represented everything I wanted in a lego set as a kid, like a platonic ideal. UBS can be cool, but giant fragile ships that can't really be played with and aren't dynamic isn't really what lego is about. When I was a kid, there were these smaller sets that might have represented a small slice or resemblance of a location, but rarely did we get fully fleshed out locations and buildings, because it would be too expensive and too many pieces. MBS gave us exactly what I wanted. Large-scale playset with tons of detail and polish. Not to mention a shitload of really cool minifigs.

Did MBS not sell well or something? That's surprising, I thought SWfags cared more about minifigs than anything else. And isn't the best way to pose and display figs in large dynamic locations rather than just having your precious figs on a plaque or tucked away in a ship cockpit?

Hey, I have literally 5 Kuro wanted posters, I was wondering if there is rarity to them or if it literally is just chance? I have Kuro x5, Buggy x3, Arlong x2, Alvida x3, and Mihawk x2. I am missing Don Krieg, Luffy, and Gol D Roger, I am looking for those if anybody has anywhere to get them, thanks!

>>11523397
Yes the green locomotive is far superior to the white one that came with the car carrier. Buy it - it’s a nice train.

I think if Lego is to make a UCS death star the way people wanted, it would be more than $1,000 and not possible to sell it at "regular" retail
The Imperial apartment is the compromise

So how do we solve this?

>Lego needs it own "haslab"

Yes. Lego needs its own crowdfunding system.

Plenty of people have been saying they will pay whatever the price they have to pay if the product is "worth" the price.

So an Ultimate UCS Death Star that
>is a ball
>Can be build as I or II.
>Proper size for diorama of scenes from Star Wars and Return of the Jedi (depending on whether you build I or II)
>Fully enclosed into a ball
>Opening bays for small/micro tie or shuttle in enclosed ball form

Let's just give what people wanted and see if they are willing to put their money where their mouths are no?

They don't even have to make it limited run. They should able to come up with a number with the original funding that once met, any future releases can be made by custom order through lego directly.

If they don't half ass this, the fans should have no problem funding this right?

>>11523197 (OP)
Lego death star be like

>>11523750
Or you don't do it. I don't wanna see $5000 sets

>>11523197 (OP)
Ahem

>>11523750
Really we can just skip over diorama scenes. People want the Death Star for displaying as the Death Star, they pay for the ball they get a ball

How would you even make a smooth round ball while still getting enough interior space? I think you could make a decent Death Star for 9000pcs/1000$ but you'd have to compromise the smoothness of the outer hull and the interior floors. It would look like a playset but just HUUUGE.

>>11523258
Where is the shaft to throw the emperor into?

>>11523755
Idk but that's what I hope the 1000 dollar price tag would cover
I think that's it really. If this set wasn't so expensive there'd be no issues. Hell it would be fine in the death star line as a new take. But 1000 dollars? I know its becoming cliche to complain about lego pricing... but where does the line in the sand go. If you don't make one they will run away with such insanity

Again, people who will to pay for it can pay for it.

at least this would shut the people keep saying Lego is not give them what they want by give them what they want.

Like if people have the money why can't lego just give them the ultimate experience.

>But it would price out fans

Are most fans really going to spend $1,000 for this apartment Death star? I don't think so. Like just how many people have the UCS Falcon in their house?

>>11523749

I wonder if I could rent my Lego room to e thots wanting to cash in on lonely Lego guys online. Maybe even set up a few rooms and rent out to multiple girls.

pokemon will save lego
i have foreseen it

APOLOGIZE

>>11523842
Maybe
>lego acquire pokemon
>want to open up production lines for pokemon
>want it to be a big line so would have to cut back on others
>Disney throws a hissy
>orders more star wars lines to continue
>clearly trying to interrupt production of pokemon lines
>lego responds with questionable star wars sets they know won't sell
>can use the figures to justify it
My tinfoil hat, don't think I'm serious about this
but Disney are aggressive and like to push their weight, so

>>11523848
I mean. Lego had a better deal with WB back then but noe its more Disney, Nintendo and some Universal and leds WB

>>11523815
i want a WWE line but i have no idea how to make it not shity brickheads and belt replicas

>>11523842
Sadly legominecraftgoat said the pokemon sets wont release in january so probably march releases also for sure those have smart bricks in them

>>11523852
Considering how im always reading about how lego production lines are limited & a problem for them, it won't surprise me
Disney would 100% be shitting themselves about a pokemon line. Especially if its to be like mario, with more affordable toy sets that are modular + display sets

To be fair, this is exactly what Lego seems to be about now : a huge minifig bubble

As much as I don't like the new Death Star design, I think it completely makes sense : this is directed toward people who will want to display it on a shelf alongside records and a pot of aloe vera

The time where a spherical Death Star with play features was valuable to the "fanbase" is far behind

>>11523868

>>11523842
No

>over 9000s pieces
strange, the one from the 2000s always seemed a lot bigger to me

Might as well post it here too since pancakes are on the menu.
>>11523873

>>11523877
Fucksake.

>>11523874
I predict
>pokemon will use smart bricks

>lego dreamzzz replacement original big bang theme will have electronic minifigures and smart bricks as gimmick

Also I see atleast 1 Ninjago set to use it

Why?

Pokemon will have a mix of brick-built sets and custom molds, and they’ll make sets based on the iconic locations from the games, and all the sets will be affordable and always in stock.

>>11523887
If they go the mario route they probably will have lots of affordable sets, desu it feels like star wars they know the audience is mostly afols that collect storm trooper armies. Nintendo actually wanna sell to kids

>>11523887
You just described the mega line dude.

Thoughts on the Mario and Animal Crossing themes so far?

>>11523197 (OP)
>Black plate flooring
I told you guys. I am now calling it that the black floors will be 25%-30% of the piece count.

>>11523203
Yeah, the design makes sense if it's a display. I think I'm just going to tear down my Aluminum Falcon and ATAT + ATSTs + tie fighter and build my own Death Star.

>>11523905
With blackjack… and hookers!

>>11523243
You can 300% just make a similar build for a couple hundred yourself, maybe even less

This is now a Chicago deep dish pizza thread. Name your favorite locations! Toppings!
I like Labriola because they put an extra layer of cheese on the crust that forms a chewy cheesy seal on every bite.
I also like the Chicago oven grinder and pizza company upside down pizza pot pie and Mediterranean bread.

>>11523917
I'm European, so I've never had a Chicago deep dish. I'm a sauce man, so I'd love a deep dish for sure. But I may never experience one

Hey folks, looking for a bit of advice, I want to put purple pieces into pic related so it's similar to this https://drive.google.com/open?id=1dK4sCqAw5BYwsTfhVDO55bjtvY2DeilK and it should be able to close, any suggestions?

There is literally nothing good about Chicago now or ever the city should not exist and anything from there should be forgotten.

this was ON DISPLAY
right in the middle of The Lego Store

one display with $280 Disney Castle
one display with $140-worth Friends

they appeared to be similar "value" at a glance. no way is that castle worth twice as much as those two Friends sets

>>11523753
No! That’s not true! That’s impossible!

Lol

>>11523243
They couldn’t even give it an optimal price per part ratio. Man they must really have contempt for their customer base

poors absolutely seething at the new DS lol, can't wait to buy multiple, one for myself and the rest to scalp and pay off the one I keep.

Just build it yourself

>>11523962
>calling others poor
>needs to scam retards to be able to afford the set
Uh anon?

>>11523203
This honestly borders on false advertising, any person would see the box art and reasonably assume that its at least a half sphere, given the death star is a famously spherical structure. The only thing to indicate otherwise is that wire frame drawing in the corner.
Just a conceptually flawed set. Although I have never seen a good moc of the death star either, its exterior is quite boring.
I think they got it right the first time they did it, they should have just polished up that.

If lego made a $1000 pirates ship you fags would be happy

Nu death star ain't so bad

The meems this set generated is fun

>>11523970
there is no chance lego could justify a $1000 pirate ship
they only demand this much for star wars because star wars paypigs will buy it along with the star wars tax

>>11523974

Post sets you wish got the $1000 price treatment.

I'll start

Lego star wars sets are ridiculously overpriced, is it safe to say that people are only buying these for the minifigs? At a certain point it becomes more much more viable to just bricklink the build, unless you care about the heckin rare figurinos.

For the deathstar, I'm sure it will still sell enough to be a big success for lego. The marketing strategy here is clearly to target a few whales rather than a bunch more kids who only have lunch money to spend. But that sort of demographic, are they the ones who would be interested in a giant interior doll house diorama? The master builder series didn't sell that well from what I understand, and this is basically that rather than UCS.

Apologize already

>>11523970
Everyone is bitching about the black pearl $400 price tag what are you on about

>>11523981
$400 for burgers

Europeans will pay $340

I will get it on a discount

What were they thinking?

3 DC SETS

DC IS BACK BABYYYY

WE ARE SO BAAAACK

>>11523978
Based. My favorite was pic-related. Sure, the raised baseplate is doing a lot of the heavy-lifting, but I loved how giant it made the whole playset be. Not to mention the modularity and how the different parts of the set can be easily swapped around. Truly designed for building and play.

There's always hope that one of the adventurers sets could get the Icons treatment like lion knight castle or eldorado fortress. Or I'd love to get the wild west fort redone. Never had that one as a kid but I always wanted it.

A Buffy the vampire slayer set has entered development for the Icons theme at Lego, they just got the license and will release ahead of the Hulu reboot.

>>11523996
Sadly I think eldorado flopped but I'm surprised Creator didn't do an adventirers pyramid yet

>>11523979
Well whenever I see star wars lego posted online it's always
>haul collection! Me pictured with 4 massive 400 dollar sets in their boxes
>a storm trooper army
so yeah, lego probably know exactly what they're doing
they only need a select number of whales to purchase it to break even
Oh there's 1 more subset: celebrities seem to love building the death stars. The Rock did it to name one

>>11523960
The Death Pancake.

>>11523986
Hopefully one is a Superman movie spaceship. I can't believe that after mostly ignoring DC throughout the 2010s, I'm hyped.

>>11524002
Never understood the obsession with clone trooper armies. Don't get me wrong, I would've loved to have more minifigs as a kid so I could act out bigger battles, in the same way that I wish I had more pieces so I could create larger settings to pose all the figures in.

But the clonefags I always see online almost never do stuff like that. They just have flat baseplates lined with a hundred clones who just stand there. Is that supposed to look cool? They're not even posed in an environment. It's lame.

Pokemon releases in march? Also whats on february 27th that has plebbit tie it with lego pokemon?

New sonic gwp

>>11524008
There was so much set potential for the new movie. Lego put so much faith in Marvel lol.

>>11523243
It's time for everyone to admit the cantina set is the best "location based" star wars set. Huge number of really good figs and decent size and lots of content for the price. Can be displayed in multiple different ways due to how the various pieces can be unlocked and reconfigured. Looks really good both when displayed closed-up as well as opened to show the interior.

The other big location sets are either too abstract, like trying to cramp cloud city into a circle to give it a vaguely cloud-city like appearance (which they fucked up by not having a retractable cover to actually make it look like cloud city from the outside) or they're just a bunch of random dinky little bullshit packed together, like with the hoth set, where it just feels like they took several 20 dollar sets and made a combo pack.

>>11524009
Yeah. We have some good star wars moccers on /toy/ that do some cool things and have enough soldiers for it. But the bulk of buyers are definitely collecting to put on display. Miniature funkopops basically

>>11523970
I love pirates but a hypothetical 1000 pirate set would be retarded. The remake of Barracuda Bay was about as good as anyone could have wanted. 4 companion sets in that range of different pirate/imperial faction ships would be cool. For the same cost. And you can set up the ships to fight with each other. That would be cool. 4 250 dollar sets are much greater than one stupid 1000 dollar set.

>>11524014
I do. This is probably the best Star Wars set since before episode 3. I wish Star Wars would do more slice of life stuff. Like give me City or Modulars but Star Wars. That’s what I want. I would buy five of every set they did like this

>>11524013
F4 only got 1 set
didn't even come with extra flame-on version minifig

to be fair, the FF movie really only needed this one set. it's simple, and "the whole movie" for little effort. Lego threw a couple sets at New Cap movie they banked on popularity of "Hulk -but red!" and maybe Disney told them to push it

any -one- set for the new Superman movie would have seemed like not-enough. that movie was all over the place with gazillions of characters and stuff. even a simple tech room with Superman & Luther would have needed to include a dozen other characters. Mr. Terrific, Lois, Jimmy, Ms. Tessmacher, Otis (?)... Hawkgirl and Green Lantern would get ignored and cause people to be upset... oh, and certainly a new mold for Super Puppy. you NEED the dog! sigh... it's too much! ugh just forget it.

I'm not saying it's a bad movie, I enjoyed it. it just didn't have "that one scene" that would have been perfect to do a Lego set from. and if you point out the Galactus scene and Giant Monster scene are basically the same scene (your not wrong) it wasn't the big moment of the movie (it would have been super cute for Lego to include the one squirrel Superman saved!)

>>11524010
Pocket Monsters Red & Green came out February 27 of 1996. It's the 30th anniversary of Pokemon

>>11524020
It's hard to justify 1000 for anything. Almost every idea you could think of would just be a combo what should just be multiple sets (like sticking a pirate ship, a navy ship, and a port together when they could just be separate sets in the same line)

>>11524023
Star wars really gets shafted when it comes to any locations. Other themes get plenty of sets representing buildings, environments, and so on. But with star wars it's just ships ships ships ships, and sometimes you get something that's just the facade of a blastdoor or something. I really don't get it. There are so many environments they could design. MBS versions of places like the jedi temple. The seedy coruscant bar from Ep2. Kamino. Palpatine's office. Lars' homestead. And there have been several smaller versions of Jabba's palace, at least, but I'd absolutely love to see that one get the MBS treatment.

>>11524027
A fortress of solitude character could have included a lot of characters

Also, F4 still needs Surfer and the car

>>11524014
I love the speeder that came with this set, one of my favorite designs

Why

>>11523197 (OP)
holy shit, 1000$! you lego fans are something else.

>>11524031
>tfw no master builder series dexter jettster's diner

>>11524039
Unironically that would be really cool. Just random restaurants and living spaces. That’s what I want.

>>11523197 (OP)
I don't have enough money to buy this but if I were rich it would be a day 1 purchase. Anyone who doesn't agree is retarded.

>>11523197 (OP)
That's it, I'm done with lego star wars

We will never heal

I SWEAR ON GOD'S LIFE ITSELF IF THERE IS EVEN A SINGLE STICKER THAT I HAVE TO PLACE I WILL HAVE NO OTHER CHOICE THAN TO EAT A SILICA GEL PACKET!!!!!

Imagine drunk driving this bad boy

>>11524047
it doesn't matter.
nobody will ever open this box or build the set
it's a "collectible" of epic proportions

the BOX will display equally douche-baggie on your shelf just as much as the built set. as a matter of fact, you might get MORE D-Bag points for displaying the un-opened box.

Lego is going to fill it with rocks, that "sound" like shaking bricks from an X-mas present. confident in the fact that nobody dares to open something they just spent $1000 on, if you open it, you can't re-sell it later for twice that much!

>>11523197 (OP)
Mark my words. This set will go down to $500 thanks to discounts.

Let's do price comparisons, what would you get for $1000 lego wise instead of the death star?

>>11524067
I would get 11 pirate ship 3-in-1s and create an armada

>>11524047
The stickers with modern lego is absolutely nuts. When I was a kid I got the original jango slave I. It didn't have a single sticker, everything was printed. 23 years later I get the UCS jango's indentured servant I, and while the build itself was very impressive and I like the model a lot, it didn't have a SINGLE printed piece. Everything was stickers. Not just for cockpit control panels, but for promient areas on the hull and windscreen too. I just built it without using any of the stickers, I'd rather just keep a clean aesthetic over that.

>>11524063
In your dreams. 25% would be the absolute max and even that would be extremely generous

>nexo knights pedo still active

I wanted a lego pirate ship and got excited about them doing another black pearl. When i heard it's gonna be 400, I said "fuck that" and ended up buying the ninjago ship instead for 200. I'm not a ninjago fan at all, but the asian-themed ship looks pretty cool and the build is detailed and pretty impressive. Might make some modifications to "de-ninjago-ify" it
