The latest LEGO Star Wars set to be reaveled, LEGO 75396 Desert Skiff and Sarlacc Pit, is a bit more expensive than previous iterations of this classic Original Trilogy vehicle, and with good reason.
In addition to the skiff, Luke, Han, Chewie, Lando and Boba Fett (and a bonus Nien Nunb), there's also a fleshed-out brick-built Sarlacc; something we haven't seen before at this scale. There have been smaller, perfuctory Sarlaccs in the past, but finally, this set comes with a Sarlacc that's more than just an afterthought.
For anyone hoping to put the new set on display as part of a larger LEGO Star Wars collection, the new Sarlacc makes this set noteworthy even after twenty years of LEGO Desert Skiffs.
The fact that this set is coming out already discounted at 63€ down from 80€ indicates even retailers know the full price is too high...I expect amazon to sell it for 20-30% off not even after a month.
I have the desert skiff from 2017, and this one looks very similar. Even the sarlacc has a lot of overlap, this one just has a lot more tan slopes "framing" it. And frankly, I don't think that tan "frame" adds any play value, and very little display value. The only real big difference is the price. The 2017 version was $30, this one is $80. Yes I know inflation is a thing, but inflation hasn't been THAT bad. It's still close to double the price for essentially some tan bits around the sarlacc beak. More power to you if you like this, but I'm happy with my old version.
Sup man! Like your videos!
This is the correct take, if only you had a popular Lego RUclips channel!
I also own the 2017 one and besides a little extra details and the straw hat on the skiff, it is kinda just the same fucking thing
I like this video. Somehow Matt being outside his usual Lego room makes him a lot more animated than usual, which is great.
Am I usually not animated enough? 😅
@@brick_fanatics I guess the outdoor air does you good. Or you are really really passionate about this set and it shows. Also loved the jokes more in this one too for some reason. I think you should do more of these outdoors videos if time permits
I can establish this channel as the one with the weirdo who lives in a hut in the woods! Gotta have a unique selling point!
The Boba is the version from ESB, not ROTJ. No red arm guards and etc. Very disappointing
Yeah, especially since there is a RotJ version out there in 9496 from 2012. Or at least not as blatantly ESB as this one
Im really hopeful the UCS Jabbas Sail Barge comes with a large amount of landscape that this sarlacc can attach to and make one big display.
The new Luke actually uses a new torso and leg printing. I think a new design of Skiff Luke was LONG overdue. Besides the face, they also gave Skiff Han a new torso if you couldn't tell.
Unfortunately his black glove wasn't included in the design.
@@Ciero9 That's because Luke didn't have the black glove during the fight on the sail barge.
@@Ciero9 he doesn’t have a black glove on the sail barge
6:18 "Oh no. I'm going to get stuck in a terrible Disney plus show"
LoL
My favorite part of this review! 😅
If they insist on pricing things so high, at the very least get things right. Putting the ESB Boba in here and without a cloth piece is just cutting corners.
but... $80
Those tan pieces are very expensive don't you know?
awesome video! really enjoy your content. Interesting to see all the backgrounds and theatrical cuts of the sarlacc and barge
Personally, I think the bulky Sarlacc adds no more play value from the last one. It just adds pointless “value” to the set that doubled the price. It doesn’t even look better.
Good video, I will add some transparent 2x2 round bricks so the desert skiff is a bit higher compared to the sarlacc pit. Also I find 80 bucks a bit too much for this set so I’ll buy it at a discount at some point.
I came here after researching the Sarlacc, and I'd seen this video and I'm a bit of a Lego fan so I clicked out of curiosity, I was not expecting to be entertained so much, great video 👍
Price per piece is not perfect, but 80 dollars for 558 pieces is egregious. Diluting the issue of price to something "subjective" is not a responsible take. You have become part of Lego's overpricing trend, congratulations.
I like the look of this new set and may pick it up. Great review. Thanks!
I think the reason why we are getting no baddies is because they might all be coming in the next big set
Agreed...which is why he said that he would only be talking about this set and nothing else. 😊
If we’re still getting a big sail barge set this will go nicely with that
going to be the first lego star wars set I've bought in 20 years
07:00 Yeah I couldn’t stand Book of Boba Fett either. Just makes no sense. But his new look was bad ass! The black robes and repainted armour giving serious space warrior monk vibes! I like it so much I bought and built Albo.Lego giant sized minifigure version of BoBF Boba! 😂
08:20 they could’ve recoloured Boba’s Jet Pack to reflect his ROTJ look more. Not asking for a dual mould or anything but a yellow would’ve been good. And he really should’ve had a cape!
It's hard not to get carried away with all theses 25th anniversary sets and now Jabba's sail barge coming soon 🤑
$80 is just ridiculous! Severely overpriced! The only big highlight is easily Nien Nunb. The problem is everyone is saying it’s ridiculously overpriced, yet there will still be a bunch of people who will pay full price for this.
9496 was $25 retail. It had better figs and I actually like the Sarlac. This current set is nice but it is not $80 good. Anyone who says otherwise is a sucker.
If you mentioned pricing injustice in your prior lord of the rings video, wouldn't these two sets be even worse? Having expensive sets that feel worth is is simply gatekeeping, where providing an order of magnitude less value for next level higher price points is something the government regulators would be concerned with in other industries.
It needs one or 2 more minifigures for Luke to feed to the Sarlacc
I really like that Nien Nunb. I want him for my UCS Falcon, so I'll probably end up buying the set and the sail barge as well 🙃I'm not proud of sponsoring Disney, but I'm a sucker for RotJ
6:56, it's ok dude, that's everyone's opinion.
$129 in Australia.... horrendous.. but I'll be picking it up.. once it is on sale, of course.. hopefully at least 50% off LOL
Nien Nunb males this a must by for me lol
I wish boba fett had is cape
It is nice to get one that isn't a 10$ decoration
boba fett sucks, like no pauldron and its almost or exactly the same as the mech, they should have given him some sand details
That TV-show was awesome! How dare you - you you you......!
It’s very good
80€ are waaaaaaay overpriced. Do not buy LEGO without at least 30 or better 40% discount.
the pricing is just a scam a this point, there is no excuse for that other than willing to drain star wars fan money just for the greed
Great vid. Great set. Will lego ever make a molded bantha?😀
20% off is going to go hard with this set. It does look really good, but $80 is a little steep.
Only 20% off? I think you lack ambition - a year from now I'll pick this up from Walmart for half off alongside the Dark Falcon, and probably the Droid Builder discounted to $12.50.
$80 and they couldn’t even bother giving us the correct Boba Fett, in ROTJ he has different armor. Not even any cloth pieces.
Lego is too damn greedy. They act like they don’t make billions every year.
