Val-E Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I´m missing the photo of 75215 Swoop Bikes but it can be found on a popular video sharing platform If I am not mistaken that makes 7 sets for the Solo film - on a par with Rogue 1. No buildables since they have been cancelled and maybe a couple of microfighters in the winter if that series carries on. I´d say these sets are more interesting than TLJ ones, which were mostly rehashes or boring movie scenes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I agree, these are much better than the offering of TLJ. However, you can consider the Han Solo & Range Trooper BF (and possibly the OTHER one) to be linked to SOLO...so 2 or 3, but not nearly the amount of BF's we got for R1.

binary_storm Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I think the "train" is a bit of a missed opportunity, but I like the Hauler. Enough to buy it though? Probably not. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathew Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 (edited) So have Star Wars ships always been this poorly designed or is it rose-tinted nostalgia. None of the ship designs in the new films are worth a damn. Aside from Kylo Ren's tie fighter they have been lazy and shitty.

None of the ship designs in the new films are worth a damn. Aside from Kylo Ren's tie fighter they have been lazy and shitty. Apart from the new stuff in Rogue One, and a couple of designs from Solo, I'd have to agree with you unfortunately. Presumably it's the directors that approve the final designs, so I guess they don't have the eye for this stuff that George Lucas has/had. I don't think it's a case of the concept artists not being up to it, as many of them worked with Lucas on the prequels. Part of the problem is that the ship designs from the original trilogy are timeless classics that have aged remarkably well. Maybe this is because their basic shapes are quite simple, or maybe it's because they had guys designing them who came from an industrial/aircraft design background, and hence they look more "realistic." Who knows? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t_mafia Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 The transport and hauler sets both look like they should be about $60 based on size. However, I'm expecting 80 for the transport and 90 for the hauler due to the cheese slope and stud taxes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huskers1236 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 Those prices are seriously WTF worthy. They'll all be clearance fodder. Hoth Medical Chamber is the only one I am interested in to go with the Hoth Skirmish set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exciter1 Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I thought Snoke's Throne Room looked like a neat set. It's no Death Star Final Duel. I was thinking it should be no more than $40. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oneknightr Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 (edited) The Jedi Starfighter is the only reasonable one, but who wants another one of those? The Swoop Bikes are cool and decently priced.

Um, no. it's the image from the UCS box front that we've all been looking at for a year. That cloud car pilot is certainly interesting though.

Is it just me or is this set... underwhelming? Other than it containing an updated Biggs & his droid, I don't know that I would want to place this next to my 9493.
