- The August wave of New Lego Star Wars sets are - almost - all revealed. But have Lego gone too far this time? Are these over the top, outright greedy, or bang on the money?

160 dollars Imperial Star Destroyer 1555 pieces Vs. 200 dollars NASA Space Shuttle Discovery 2354 pieces. I am glad I am not a Star War fan anymore. Star Wars is Lego's cash cow.
especially when you compare what you get in terms of figures to other themes like harry potter. A $160 set would have gotten atleast a dozen figures... ATLEAST
Traitor.

LEGO IS PRICING THEMSELVES RIGHT OUT OF THE MARKET ON SOME SETS.
What market? They have a virtual monopoly.
lego needs to realise that theyre a toy company making toys for children, and pricing their toys at £80, £160, etc. means that their target audience will probably not even be able to buy them 😭😭
I find their pricing very strange. Sometimes, like with the smaller city jungle sets, they price cheap and nicely accessible but then far too often it’s just too high and yes that does make it hard for parents to buy for getting children into it
The sarlacc Luke has his hand because a sail barge member shoots it later in the scene
He didn't wear the glove before it was damaged...
U could always go back and watch return of the Jedi to see if he has the glove or not
No gloves and his hand was just slightly grazed by a pistol. Luke could still use his hand afterwards like a true Jedi 😆

@studebricker2845 that’s what I’m saying
No cape for jarjar is the greatest injustice of our lives.
Yeah forgot to mention that, another thing wrong with it
Yes.
Just take if off of rey, it’s not like anyone will use her anyways
Lego is pulling these numbers out of their ass
Big Company does this, like McDonalds, Apple, and more.
There is a difference between expensive and overpriced. Record profits and corporate greed have taken over.
Lego Star Wars prices are definitely getting out of control. They are continuing to go up. With that, I have to now be more mindful with my purchasing decisions. I’m picking and choosing what sets I absolutely need to have and are day 1 buys. And sets that I don’t care for at all, or can wait for a sale. With this new wave there are literally only 2 sets that I want to buy day 1. Those being the Ahsoka Peridea set, and the Sarlacc Pit. Now the Sarlacc Pit is ridiculously overpriced at $80, but if I’m only getting just 2 sets I’m willing to pay full price.
Fair enough, makes good sense
honestly just wait for a sale! It is not worth it in the long run!
I don’t understand getting sets day 1 at all to be honest.
Unless they’re Lego Shop exclusives you can get every set with at least a 30% discount after a couple months.
As an adult I feel like it’s really worth it to be a bit patient and save a ton of money in the long run. Plus not supporting Lego’s terrible pricing as much.
@sleinzer2302 I agree 95% of the time, but sometimes there’s sets I just want day 1 for the childlike joy of building it (even though my wallet suffers)!
@Stud-Lord still not worth, especially when u consider you'll just have it on your shelf 90% of the time
bro you sound like a voice you’d hear in a Australian Outback wildlife documentary
Lego are doing this to themselves. They are the only ones ramming the lego star wars market into the ground while the fans just have to watch their favourite lego genre go up in flames. It's just fustrating
The prices are a direct result of the amount of money Disney wants for the licensing.
Lego Star Wars would be reasonably priced if Disney wasn't losing money.
They are doing this to Disneyland. Their movie franchises are losing money so they take money from the parks
I thought that was The Dude, and was wondering why he is in a LEGO Set.
They're really trying to push the mark with these prices its now getting ridiculous
So glad Friend Besto is coming with the Dark Falcon
I still feel like the Jedi bob star fighter is over priced should be at least 35 but I do understand the price count
You meant you understand the pice count not price count
@@joedoe1637 yea my bad
Yes, they are. A clone trooper pack would be $10 to 15 back in the day, now it's $20 to 30. Glad I'm stopping with Lego, but it also hurts to not collect minifigures anymore. If it was Count Dooku and the ship from Episode 3. Then I would pay the price.
Only set I'm getting - preordering, in fact - from this wave will be the TIE Fighter and X-Wing mashup, purely for the fact the X-Wing looks - in my opinion - outstanding in spite of its smaller scale. The unique pilot and droid and the fact that this isn't another Red 5 and Luke Skywalker definitely appealed to me.
The new style of TIE Pilot also looks great, though the TIE Fighter's build doesn't look the best. Would've much preferred the 2021 75300 TIE Fighter's overall style and build, but I can somewhat understand the change.
Probably the only set with a somewhat decent and justifiable price, though having to pay almost $50 CAD more than 2023's TIE Interceptor vs. Fang Fighter - which I do own and can say was well worth its price - is definitely turning me away from any future LEGO Star Wars purchases.
Genuinely curious what other people have to say about this one and definitely looking forward to any incoming reviews by LEGO Star Wars RUclipsrs. I think its a somewhat refreshing set with the removable wing play-features, and the X-Wing truly looks great to me.
Love the graphics on this video. Hope you get the recognition you deserve! Lots of subs!
Thanks glad you like it
I have a theory about the skeleton crew ship I reckon that the build able c3po was meant to have come in October and they have moved to August to replace the skeleton crew ship to the October wave
Could well be
I got my clone fives, he is all i care from this wave, maybe jedi Bob starfighter but its all overpriced , that they can give you discount and they still make a lot of money.
I quite like the droid set but it is over priced. They all are a bit
Same here!
it's called "IP milking", i believe
Im sure inflation has a big part in the high prices on the sets, im only buying c3po, sarlacc pit, and maybe dark millennium Falcon.
Jar jar needed a cap, leg printing at least, 3po needed longer leg print, also why do they all seem so overpriced now? Like too small for what you get
Yes. Super greedy and genius marketing
Do you recommend buying Imperial Star Destroyer or millennium falcon (grey version)? I don't know which one to buy because the millennium falcon (grey) its going to be retired and the black one I don't like at all.
The grey falcon that’s retiring has been out for ages but it’s still one of my favourite versions of it
@@Stud-Lord Better than Imperial Star Destroyer?
@@gerard5742 I like both but then I am also rather greedy… I’d go with retiring first and get the other later unless space is an issue then get whichever you like most.
@@Stud-Lord Okey thanks for all!!
u said the grey pieces take away from the sinister of the black and red. I think they show contrast. But I agree on prices. Blech
I would have preferred dark grey, to me the light grey clashes but I do like the overall detail
Really greedy, no thanks Lego, waiting for a heavy discount for the hugely overpriced Sarlacc pit, $130AUD , laughable
Yes.
With the way things have been, it'll be no surprise that UCS Sail Barge is gonna HURT. It better come with another skiff if they ask UCS Falcon prices for it.
It’s cheaper than the previous ones by quite a bit
Cash grabs!
Whatever you're thinking, that's my opinion too!
Very sensible ;)
The DOLLAR TREE owned toy line "Final Faction" is seriously beating everything else in price, they arent no cheaply carelessly thrown together things either, its got amazing sculpting, good enough paint to get a general idea of details, and good quality materials and build quality, all 1.25 a piece
C3PO looks alright, but as a rule I dont buy star wars unless its heavily discounted. I'm never going to pre-order or buy on day 1. The star wars name has too much of a premium for my taste.
Yes
Even if people think there overpriced they’re still gonna buy it
Why don't I get your videos in my SubBox?
I'm subbed BUT I only have your new uploads on the main feed and when I look into my subscriptions your videos haven't appeared there in a while now.
Lego Star Wars cost more good thing I no longer care about them I prefer buying other Lego products
Over the years I got near 200 star wars lego sets so I can survive
because of these prices I'm seriously considering quitting collecting LSW sets :(
It is a bitter pill to swallow
Disney Licensing fees people. That's driving the prices up 👆
Well eh
Like 20$ bugs a set but only on those that'll sell well seems highly suspicious
Absolutely being greedy lol. I agree with you on sets should be cheaper. $20 - $30 cheaper!!!!
Yup
Yeah LEGO has become greedy I’m a 14 year old Star Wars LEGO fan and I’m struggling to get all these new sets so I hope lego stops being greedy
I am so sad...the Sarlac pit Skiff looks so great but then they botch the minifig details (BTW Studlord - you are the first RUclipsr who seems to have caught the Luke-hand error) and over price it.
Yeah, it is a shame as it nice but with some stupid mistakes for that price
Luke doesn’t put on a glove until he gets shot on the sail barge saving Leia it’s only then when he puts on a glove
@@joefrye6021 but..but..that would mean Stud-Lord is wrong. No. I can't accept that. Whatever he says is official canon. So, moving forward, Luke wore a jet black glove in every scene of Return of the Jedi. Video evidence be damned!!
Good point, I had it in my head he wore a glove at that part. Ah well, Fett is still wrong so I’ll double down in that 😅
@joefrye6021 🤣 brilliant
Skiff is Nice
But Where is Wequay?
Literaly 4 heroes vs 1 boba fett lol
Some jabba hench mans would be welcome
I think i would trade Luke for one Jabba goon and include luke in Jabba's Sail barge
Also for this price really they should be 2 skiffs
No mention to fact this is same ESB Boba Fett from mech in ROTJ set...
I still like it but it could've been better
Also Choose of Nienh Numb is mid
He coul've aapear in any ither ROTJ set
Peridea set is kinda dissaponting
Box art looks like a fan made
Thrawn is great
Same with Ashoka
Ezra looks...
Extremly strange,Like Lisan Al Ghaib
Morgan is decent
but
I think i would rather she having skirt elemnt intead of black legs
Also that face print is dissaponyting
Night trooper is also decent but it could've been better
Also dissapointed this isn't enoch
Build is kinda mid
Well given that we are getting the UCS sail barge later this year, I imagine Wequay will be included as one of the minifigures in that set. I mean I would’ve thought the sarlac pit and skiff would have been included in the UCS set, so it’s a bit concerning that they’ve done it as a separate set. Certainly raises my expectations for the sail barge, it needs to awesome now to justify the UCS tag if I’m gonna have to buy the skiff and the pit separately. 🤔🤷🤣
And I think the biggest issue with Boba aside from the jet pack, is no cloth cape! Lego are really doing us in by not including fabric pieces for Boba and others!
All the sets are good but should sell for $10 less. Doesnt matter to me since i already pre ordered 3 of each and im going to sell it when they retire.
Why Pre-order if you are'nt gonna sell till retirement? I'd wait for the sales.
Good luck selling items nobody wants after they retire.
You are certainly part of the problem. Its overpriced... but I'll still buy day 1 showing not only I agree to these prices, not only to be willing to buy day 1 to show that product is that good to buy day 1, you buy multiples to even further cement that this is ok. Not to mention set hoarding and "investing" which is dead btw cause everyone is doing it
@@Liam_Wa rookie seller lmao
@@kinggeorgethe1st554 ? Why would I pay full price for an item and let it sit on my shelf for two years? when near the end of retirement I can go pick up the set for close to %20 off and don’t have to worry about storage for that time.
