Should Gift With Purchases be bad?
Gift With Purchases, aka GWP, are an interesting topic around LEGO as a brand. Some you can get relatively cheap on the secondary market and others are out of control. The recent Star Wars GWP happens to land on the latter of those two. So, it begs the question, should you be able to buy them outright? Should they be worse so they don't sell out?

Lego Alpine Lodge is 2023's Holiday Village addition. A simple, log cabin build that happens to be one of the very best this line has to offer. However, there is something about it that may just hold it back from true greatness. #lego #alpinelodge #holiday

    What i did to display the Ornithopter is i took a spool of fishing line i got and fed through 4 points on the set, long enough to secure the ends of all 4 on two identical metal shelves. Those being in the tail right in front of the black exhausts, in the center with two stacked rows of technic pins/holes just behind the knob to lower the ramp and landing gear and through the main hinge of the ramp. Additionally, before i received the set, i had gathered the necessary technic parts from my own collection to replace all the red, yellow and blue parts that stuck out far too much. Could of course have looked into replacing the orange balljoint connectors and the two special technic linkages too, but felt those could either wait or be left as they are.

    Wait so, the only problem you have with it is that it’s big? Sounds like there’s really no problem then 😂 For some, “bigger is better,” and if you actually have the space for it, then it sounds like all issues are bypassed, pretty much. There’s also the option to hang it with some wiring; makes it look airborne, which is awesome, but also occupies its space very efficiently.

  • @Christian-il4fe
    @Christian-il4fe 3 месяца назад

    If You find it too big to display it anywhere in a shelf, why do You not just hang it at the ceiling? Experiment a bit with a nylon string. There should be plenty of space to display it flying around somewhere and if You succeed in posing it in a steep curve flight, a possibly studded bottom would not spoil the appearance too much?

    There's nothing really unique in the set. The same 25th brick comes with every 25th set this year and you could get the exact same pieces from pick a brick and the ever-so-cheap B1's from just about anywhere. Would it be cool as a separate purchase? Yeah, same for every GWP set pretty much. Are people complete idiots for buying this for twice or more it's listed price just to get some box art? Also yeah, and I'd call the sellers idiots too if not for the fact that a lot of Lego SW fans have serious obsession and FOMO issues, and many will end up adding an $80 lot of the cheapest minifigs and some brown bricks to their cart lmfao. The only way I'd call this set a problem is if it came with a unique figure or pieces unobtainable elsewhere. That would be pretty scummy. GWP's that are actually decent sets without anything exclusive(no, boxes are not part of a set; people who think this have severe consumerist brain rot) are just fine with me. Besides, Lego has to incentivize direct purchases from their own site some way, because otherwise there's no reason to when Amazon exists and has much faster shipping on a global scale lol.

    Well. That is your opinion. Each of us must choose on what we will spend our money on and decide if it is worth it. For example. I bought the Venator because I wanted Captain Rex but also I wanted the ship too. It is a magnificent ship. But some people only want Rex and they buy the set to get him. Unfortunately the same Rex will come in the Y-Wing set this summer and will only cost about $13.

    My issue with lego star wars is that a lot of times it's just gray plates around a technic frame to make yet another clone or imperial ship. Even as a kid, I've always enjoyed the star wars sets that weren't just some clone or empire gray spaceship a lot more, but they don't make them as much. I love the sets that are of places and scenes, or even just non empire/republic vehicles, so much more. I'm honestly surprised there's no playscale or larger munificent or lucrehulk ship, no nebulon B or MC-80's either. I've kinda moved on to Mega's halo sets and Cobi, since they've picked up the metaphorical pieces lego left behind in its pursuit of collector value items. The build construction and play features are really nice in those competitors and, at least for Cobi, the piece quality is identical. I'm a total manchild for lego and star wars, so pure display/collector sets or figures don't do much for me.

      I think you missed my point friend, but I can help clarify. Yes, I said it was for 30 year olds as a joke because it is sort of a display model. That said, I personally feel that this set doesn’t pick a lane. Which is my point in the video. A lot of people can’t afford UCS so this is a nice cheaper end display model. I get that. However, since it’s also trying to be a model with play it has some ugliness that isn’t great for display. I definitely could’ve been clearer in the video but that’s my ultimate issue with this line. Lego Star Wars is not cheap no matter which way you cut it and, in this case, it’s not expensive enough to be a great display. The pod racer diorama is great! It’s under $100 and looks good on display. It picked a lane. For the most part this line doesn’t. Thanks for watching though.
