jal4u2c Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 It's cool but i wonder why they didn't add more "connecting" parts? For example, walkway between the three windows or walkways coming from the outer windows going back towards the other end of the set? You know, where Vader throws the lightsaber at Luke? A few more of the black and blue "consoles" would have been cool too. I bet you could mod this into a very cool set but for the price, i think it should have had more to it. Quote

jal4u2c Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 I'm guessing the real set will have the correct color saber and this was just a fill in for show. Would be cool if they brought back the light-up sabers for this too. Quote
DenJ91 Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 (edited) It's nice but I agree, could have used some connections from the other two sections. Still like it thought. What might the price be on this, $30? No more than $40 I hope. Edited February 1, 2015 by DenJ91 Quote
terrymc4677 Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 I'd be surprised if it isn't at least $50. 1 Quote
DenJ91 Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 I'd be surprised if it isn't at least $50. Wow, really? I would be passing on it if that's the case. Quote
jaisonline Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 at least it isn't yellow. And Luke's lightsaber color is incorrect... 1 Quote
terrymc4677 Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Wow, really? I would be passing on it if that's the case. Just a hunch. Five figs, some specialty pieces, and a popular licensed theme. I don't know how many pieces this has but if I had to estimate I'd guess at least 400. Lego knows they could get at least $50. Again, just a hunch. Quote
DenJ91 Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 I agree, with the figs, they could probably get $50. I think $40 would be reasonable though. I mean after seeing the Darkseid set be $70 (which is absurd), I guess $50 is possible. Rancor pit is and there's not much to that set either. I was also thinking it was around 300 pieces but I guess we'll find out soon enough. Not a huge deal either way. Quote
Cbenioff Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Looks like a $60-70 set to me. More pieces than you think. Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 And Luke's lightsaber color is incorrect... Someone posted the preliminary boxart and it was green there. Looks like a $60-70 set to me. More pieces than you think. Yep, a set with 3 main Force wielders in SW IV-VI ? $70 easy Quote
roxio Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Only 1 less figure and similar looking size to 9526 Palpatine Arrest which was Quote
DenJ91 Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Ok clearly I was way off. Maybe I underestimated the size of it. But just making it easier for me to pass on the more you guys talk. haha. Plus Rancor Pit was $60 so I was wrong there also. I'll just shut up now. Continue... Quote
Mathew Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 This is one of those "How do you display it?" sets. It appears to be too deep for a shelf. Not terribly well thought out or designed other than Palpatine's throne section. Quote

trekgate502 Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Maybe it will be a $150 Toys R Us exclusive set? Lol 1 Quote
NZ-EUG Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 It appears the emperor minifig is the "exclusive" fig from the DK publishling Dark Side book. New Darth Vader Helment looks bit lame? Luke fig same as ewok village? or new face printing? Quote
Locutus001 Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 For the price it's a little bit disappointing, but still it's better than final duel I and II I guess ***** Quote
NZ-EUG Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Emperor minifigure looks the same as the "exclusive" one found in the DK dark side book. New Darth Vader looks bit lame, helmet angles are new. Luke minifig same as ewok village? Quote
stackables Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Anyone confirm that is the same emperor as the book? Was going to get the book but if they are the same, rather just get this set. Quote
thoroakenfelder Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 Luke minifig same as ewok village?Isn't the torso print different? Quote
@rtisan Posted June 3, 2015 Posted June 3, 2015 (edited) It`s a decent set, not like Mon Calimari or Palpatines Arrest, though the resemblance is uncanny. Some great minifigures (not big on the Imperial Gaurd lightsabers though). Lightning for Palpatine, which is great, and of course required for a set like this. Good looking set for the price point IMHO, captures the look well enough and does have some playability. I do think for $90CDN and $80USD it`s a bit more than ideal, could be less, but that`s nit-picking. All in all not bad. Anyone confirm that is the same emperor as the book? Was going to get the book but if they are the same, rather just get this set.I think so, just looking at the 2 side-by-side with images from the web, they appear to be identical. Double-sided head as well, and the printing appears the same. After a couple minutes of looking, yeah I`d say they are the same. Edited June 3, 2015 by @rtisan Quote
