tk924 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I'm still unsure about getting this set even though I mostly collect OT vehicles. Seeing it go on sale for $20 may make me go ahead and get one. What are your thoughts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10230 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I don't know. To me it looks like half of the other SW ships do already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing it go on sale for $20 may make me go ahead and get one. What are your thoughts? Buy one if you want it. If you aren't confident it will be decent investment, don't sweat it, go on to something else. I'll get a few, but mostly for the new Tusken Raiders in this set.

SW Lego resale is pretty good from what I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandwraith Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Tusken Raider will be the major draw to this set imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zskid00 Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 I am buying multiples for my personal collection since I want the Tuskens, but I don't think I'll get any for resale unless they are 50% off somewhere down the line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk924 Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 I've never looked into investing and resale of Lego. I'm just looking to add to my collection. But, it would be cool to have one of the new Tuskens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilrock Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Wouldn't be shocked to see a Tusken Raider set with a Bantha sometime down the line. My personal opinion, is that i'm not going to invest in this one. The vehicle is only in the revised versions, and appears for about 3 seconds in the added celebration scene. So, I don't see any huge demand for this, and while the Sandpeople is a cool feature, that's about all you're paying for in my opinion. Would someone pay 40.00 for a Sandperson and a vehicle that is not very well known or noted? Not sure. I think money is better invested elsewhere.. But for collection purposes, why not.

psusyntar Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 If you are old enough to have played the original Rebel Assault for the PC, this vehicle was used in the training mission for the game. Also it makes an appearance in Episode IV as Luke is seemingly playing with one while C3PO is taking his bath. I didn't look any of this information up though I am pretty certain on it all. I just have a lot of useful/useless Star Wars knowledge in my head. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biniou Posted March 30, 2015 Share Posted March 30, 2015 Tusken Raider will be the major draw to this set imo. And second will be the rat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have a lot of useful/useless Star Wars knowledge in my head. That's right! I did have Rebel Assault for the GameCube and I do remember flying the T-16. I forgot all about that. Thanks for the reminder. To me, that was the best Star Wars game ever. But, I'm still on the fence about picking up one of these sets. If I see one on a shelf and it happens to be on sale...well, you never know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 This version is significantly better than the original back in 2003 from the build to the pilot plus the inclusion of the currently exclusive Tusken Raider who is also better than the older counterpart. I always enjoy seeing new ships soar forth in the Star Wars LEGO universe obscure or not and I did miss the older one therefore I really do want to get this latest version. (Even if I had the older set, I would still get this one.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meowsmeowsmeows Posted March 31, 2015 Share Posted March 31, 2015 I picked this up when it was on sale and built it for my personal collection. If you are a die-hard Star Wars fan, you'll want it. The Tusken Raider minifig is great and the model is quite "swooshable" similar to Luke swooshing it in Episode IV as mentioned above. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdenmier Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 This is definitely a great one for the personal collector of Lego Star Wars. Very durable, movie accurate and bigger than I thought it would be for a smaller set. For investment I wouldn't be terribly hot on it, but a can't miss for a fan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbacunn Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I built this one last weekend and it's a really good build and it displays well. If you can catch it on sell for $20 it's well worth it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete411 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I have one of these for my personal collection but as others have suggested, I'm not stocking up on these. The less popular OT ships aren't doing anything in the aftermarket i.e. Gold Y Wing, A Wing. I believe this one will be the same way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TacoCat Posted November 5, 2017 Share Posted November 5, 2017 Gone almost 2 years now and hardly any growth. I'd say it's time to break these out to build and swoosh around the house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
