Brystheguy Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 I like this. Are there a million of these? Yes, but to finally give this thing the details it deserves is awesome. It's an iconic symbol from the movies and I'm glad to see it recognized. I would display this before some of the other ships that are out there. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sans engine compartment; it's just a zoom in of existing much smaller sets...the UCS scale only made some boring build steps x10. my opinion is mainly due to the fact there are SOOOOOO many better options for an UCS. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bricklectic Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Boring Vehicle. Basically 3 Engines slapped on a rounded slab. Hard to get excited about it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRIX23 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 It looks like a 149.99 set, not 199. They should have printed all the pieces except the sign and then maybe 179. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadowsk1 Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 It looks nice but I think I will go for the Cantina instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Mack Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 Very clean. Bottom line it was not a flashy vehicle on the big screen and it's not a flashy LEGO set, but it's good enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcandre Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 It's ok. First time for UCS so better than another remake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
$20 on joe vs dan Posted April 21, 2022 Share Posted April 21, 2022 most of us probably think if a poll was done a Luke Land speeder would not be high on the wish list for UCS. that said, even Jang thinks one of two things occurred: one LEGO is purposely trolling fans or two, their marketing dept misunderstood online mentions as a joke to mean real interest in this vehicle for an UCS. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graphicski Posted April 22, 2022 Share Posted April 22, 2022 It's OK I guess for most at least it's a ship they haven't done before.... But for me still I'm desperate for a new b wing and imperial shuttle - they were out before I started collecting 😬 The Mrs want more prequal stuff, especially a UCS naboo starfighter and pod racers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other sets from that era are in far more need of a refresh: Vader's Tie is an excellent example. Yay LEGO! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cardensb Posted April 26, 2022 Share Posted April 26, 2022 I'm torn. It looks fine, it should display well but at $199 on the web store, do I really need to add it to my collection? I find myself touching the Slave I every now and then, opening or closing the weapon compartments and constantly fiddling with panels on the Falcon. Same with the 1989 Batmobile. This does not seem like I will spend much time with it once its assembled. Even the Hoth set gets more interest, for me. The Bespin set is still in a box from when we moved here almost 2 years ago.

I think George Lucas was inspired by street lamp fixtures for the "Slave One"...so Luke's speeder could just as easily have been inspired by his favorite cold treat...

Captain_chaos Posted May 1, 2022 Share Posted May 1, 2022 I don't think demand for this has been as high as LEGO expected. I was eager / sad enough to order at midnight, but looks like I needn't have bothered. It was limit 2 last night, but it's already up to limit 5. Why would they do that unless they had loads and weren't shifting them too quickly? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
