    ALL they had to do was include the Skiff + Sarlacc Pit set from earlier this year. Then the price would (just about) be justified. They could even make it a non-exclusive GWP for all Sail-barge buyers.

      I couldn't agree more! Those should have been included as a bonus set inside of this one to justify the price and wouldn't canibolize sales as if someone just wanted to buy the Sarlac pit for $80 they could do so seperately.

It could just do with a few slotted tiles here and there I think to break up the larger sections of studs.

    For further context of how hugely overpriced this is, this costs the same as 76269 Avengers Tower, which has almost three times the number of figures and is a drastically larger set. Knocking $100 to meet the so-called perfect price per part ratio is being too generous; this needs $150 knocked off because there just isn't that much substance here even at $400, so $350 is where it should be.
    Am I being too harsh and asking too much? Yes, but then so is Lego asking for half a grand for a set that's a lot smaller than other sets of the same price range.

    The failure in product management here is posing this a UCS when it very clearly should have been a Master Builder Series like the Mos Eisley Cantina set as it’s striving to be both a display piece and a play-set. Thus the pricing is out of line, and the ridiculous decision to save a few bucks and use the later “fat Fortuna” headpiece in lieu of the correct original one just shows how little they now respect accuracy and the buyer. This doesn’t even touch on the lack of all the other characters and the missing Skiff/Sarlac pit… I adore my original fake-controversy Jabba’s Palace and the later Jabba’s Barge and Skiff sets…. Hard pass on this set.

It could have been done right and it would be a day 1 buy even for the 500eur if done right. If you compare the details on the figs with any CMF, its atrociousness how much details and new molds is put into a 4eur figure while laziness and cheapening is given to a 500eur premium product.

    That being said, the leg details on Slave Leia could have been done better or more accurate. The crimson loincloth color could extend down almost to the feet, and be painted just in the center, having the flesh color of the legs on the side. The outfit also had short green booties. As it is, Leia looks like she's wearing a pair of shorts and ready to stand knee deep in a creek looking for crawdads.

    I have 2 problem with the figs... first the missing pupils for Salacious B. Crumb... I have no idea why and who thought at LEGO, that these no pupil eyes look good 😅 And the second is Leia's legs. dual molded legs are usually nice, but if you check the pictures from the movie, it looks totally different... She had a skirt, with open sides, and based on this minifig it looks like she had a red shorts... 😬 Btw the set is pricey, however I will have to purchase because of the lightsaber GWP... 😅

      The stand is useless and just take up the piece count - figures should be displayed ON the barge and adding a second skiff (without sarlacc) would make space for another 3 guards.
