Of course! You have to realise that the Lego group only bought in €8.8bn last year so money is tight. They are clearly following the Apple way of doing business where you charge more but give less! 😀
7:45 “I don’t care if I’m getting a phone call show me the best version of C-3PO dangit!” I don’t think I’ve ever seen some this heated over C-3PO lol 😂
Not to be that Star Wars fan but here's a list of people who were on the sail barge in the movie: 8D8 Amanaman Bane Malar Barada BG-J38 Bib Fortuna Boba Fett Skiff Guards Bubo CZ-4 Droopy McCool Ephant Mon EV-9D9 Gamorrean Guards Giran Hermi Odle Ishi Tib Jabba’s Bartender J’Quille Kithaba Klaatu Malakili Rancor Keeper Max Rebo Nikto Nikto Gunner Pote Snitkin Ree Yees Salacious Crumb Tanus Spijek Tessek Vizam Weequay Skiff Guards Weequay Skiff Master Wol Cabasshite Wooof Yak Face Yarna D’Al’Gargan Jawa ... so they could definitely have had a few more figs for that price...
whoa and here i called myself a Star Wars fan - good work sir good work and now I must go into the corner and put shame upon thyself. Seriously tho at this point Lego definitely needed to include more on this one for sure OR just sold it at around $400-$425.
I'm getting sick of you people not realizing that the no pupils thing has been the norm since 2013. Almost every figure with colored eyes since 2013 (even some with yellow eyes) has not had pupils except for the Sith figures and one or two outliers.
Back in 2006 you could buy a sail barge *with* desert skiff *and* sarlacc pit for $90. Now for $10 less you get everything *but* the sail barge, which costs $500 extra.
adjusted for inflation, that's $140 for a playscale barge, skiff and sarlacc pit, not a 3,900 piece behemoth. don't get me wrong - the recent skiff is insanely overpriced (and i feel like the UCS barge is overpriced too) but not adjusting for inflation is dishonest
This is basically exactly how every large Lego SW set is nowadays. Amazing build, a lot of good details and prints, BUT clearly overpriced and a lot of frustrating corners cut with the minifigures. Why did they use the fat Bib Fortuna head? Why is there not more of the various aliens to fill out the barge? And how the hell is the $580 combo still not enough to get more than one desert skiff to make the scene accurate?
@@gbrow1604 I hope there will be a discount. Really not a fan of the price tag on this one, especially with how many corners were cut on the figures. But the model itself is very good I cannot deny that. I also sold my 2013 model last year as I was anticipating this being made
Would’ve been probably a comparable volume of parts to include a skiff instead which would’ve been so much better. Big miss there in my opinion besides the lack of gamorean guards and the laziness with other figures. The barge itself is great but there’s some definite issues outside of it besides being overpriced as well. I’m very tempted to just remain content with my 2013 version.
The kithaba inclusion is weird since he’s a skiff guard, and there’s so many other aliens from the Barge itself they could’ve included over him. Yak Face, a new Ree-Yees that isn’t $50…
Yea... the decisions made on this set are absolutely bizarre. People who have no idea what's going on are making these decisions, and it's pissing me off.
For $80 Kithaba and another skiff guard should have been included with the skiff, freeing up a couple extra minifig slots for the barge. Ah well...lego
Like you mentioned when comparing to $500 sets of other themes, should have included way more figures. Throw in another gamorean guard and lots of Jabba's crew. There are tons of different species and droids they could have included. Even if they just had variations of more weequays and skiff guards, it would've been far better than this. Beyond that, it absolutely should've included the skiff, sarlacc, and full cast that are included in that set.
I think they should've included a copy of the current Skiff set, minus the Sarlacc pit. In the scene in the movie, you have 2 Skiffs. So it could be, buy the UCS and the Desert Skiff set for the whole scene
After watching someone else’s hands-on review, your video are so much better than anyone else’s out there. Hopefully you snag a set soon and we get an honest and knowledgeable review! 👏
"it should be the best version of c3po dangit" "hey man what's going on" "ranting about c3po" I literally burst out laughing in a busy tim Hortons watching this scene! 😂
Hopefully in a few years we’ll get a cantina style Jabbas Palace but like Gringotts with a top and bottom. I feel like the minifig selection here is okay but in Jabbas palace I feel there’s more potential. Sy Snootles, Droopy McCool
that display holder probably took up Lego's budget so that's why we only have one gamorean guard, we don't have C3-PO's silver leg, or the right head piece for Bib Fortuna.
They should have included 4 more minifigures purely because of the price alone. HP gets the same amount of figs in a $100-$130 set especially on the hogwarts builds
Interior seems to be based of Haslab’s version. Not mad at it - it’s just kind of interesting since that was a bit of an imagined interpretation. I wonder if it was intentional
Exaclty. The interior based on the crossection is bigger - it has almost 3 floors. I can understand haslab version and the fans were happy they got a big vehicle after years, but lego does not have the same limitations - lego Titanic is 135cm long (there was no reason to make it almost 1m long, maybe 4studs wider and have at least the back 2nd floor on the top.
$500 set for reused minifigs from 11 years ago?? I wouldn't complain if this was a $150 play-set. But this is the highest standard of luxury lego. The target audience is literally adults. Why are we reusing bib fortuna mold from bobas throne room which is inaccurate to RTJ. Why is c3po not have dual molded legs?? And dont get me started with the jabbas henchmen. One of them literally reuses a head piece from one of the figures from the pirate snub fighter. Further, nun of the henchmen even have leg printing. Don't get me wrong, the sail barge looks beautiful. However 4 years ago when we got the cantina it was $150 less, double the figures, and the exclusive aliens actually custom molded heads like they should. The figures are super underwhelming.
The head being reused for the pirate is not an issue at all since they're the same species, and faces look nothing different in the mandalorian or rtj. But everything else, i agree, and i am pretty sure they reused the entire bib fortuna minifig, not just the fat mold part, but the head, the torso, and the legs look exactly like the one from tge throneroom set, which is ofc even worse.
Awesome preliminary run down. 11/10 agree that this would have benefited with box art. Bring back Box Art for the UCS line. Please Lego. I am cheering for Hutslayer Leia lol - awesome fig. I agree she could have used a hint of a hip slit - but what can you do?
Let be guess because of the eyes? Which is do agree with but everything else is spot on it isn’t poor in slightest. I feel the fed back on this figure is bit exaggerated it’s only the eyes that are off everything else is pretty accurate
It looks decent enough and the side characters on the barge are a nice inclusion because they don't always get the attention, but I feel like its lacking for a $500 price point.
I wish LEGO had included more members of Max Rebo’s band. Those one-off characters can really make a Master Builder Series set-and they don’t make the “it’s exclusive” crybabies cry as much.
Lego makes approximately 1.9 Billion US dollar profit a year and they STILL penny pinch on minifigs! This is going to end up an AUD $800+ set over here which is just ridiculous! At least there's an interior.
The fact you have to purchase a grossly overpriced Sarlaac pit to complete the scene is bad but not including the best version of C3PO in a $500 UCS set tips it over the edge.
I wish the top was more studded. I don’t like how Legos is moving away from studded stuff. It keeps the lego “feel” to it if that makes sense. It just feels like a moc with all the smooth slabs.
thats the reason ill skipp it. I really want an minifig scale sail barge for my Tatooine scenarios, but this is not the right one and ill have to build a MOC myself as even the build is not good enough to copy like ill build UCS AT-AT based on the lego instructions from own bricks
This is clearly not worth the price on its own. My question is- does the lightsaber promotion make it worth it? Past ones sell for $100 now, and I’d buy the sail barge for $400.
The Sail Barge was one of (if not my Top) Favorite levels from the Lego Star Wars series, and if this set does that level justice, then I'm all about it!
I loved the original set, but like damn you don’t even get boba, luke, Han, chewy, or lando in the UCS. Not to mention the cantina retires this year and I much rather pick that one up for $100 cheaper and comes with better figures with almost the same amount of pieces seriously I don’t usually complain, but now I get why lego starwars fans are always pissed off
I will say I’m surprised they didn’t include Droopy McCool and Sy Snootles in this set considering they are actually named and semi known characters that are part of Max Rebo’s band as I can’t think of another set they would show up in anytime soon, and tha Cantina had so many characters along that vein. Also a couple extra weequay characters even unnamed would have fit nicely!
I really think lego treatment of the star wars franchise is due to a lingering annamosity of it was what saved lego from going bankrupt not their own ip sets. And it's just unfortunate that they treat it that way! Lack of detail, figs, parts, getting things right when now a days we have internet to check quality to what actually appeared. The reason is simple they could care less that it saved the business plus everyone keeps buying star wars even if ripoff or inaccurate so why change?
Im so mixed on this set. Build ia perfect. Price is a little sketchy but then you compare it to Rivendell for the same price and Barge price is kinda absurd. Jabba, Max Rebo, R2, and all the Guards are all perfect figures. C-3PO should have had the dual molded leg. Salacious should have had pupils. Bib should have had a better head piece and possible pupils (its not as soulless as Salacious and kinda works like Thrawn.) And I think Leia should have had printed shoes. Maybe arm printing but that may be treading into overdetail territory. Overall I think it is pretty good, but figs should have been better for the price.
I can usually forgive seemingly overpriced sets - the lighthouse with its electronic features, the orient express with its large and newly colored pieces, etc. But this is completely absurd. $500 for lacking figures and a low piece count not even above 4,000 is just insane to me.
Honestly only thing I see improved in new Leia is the hair piece. Put this hair on 2013 Slave Leia and I think that’s the best we’ll ever see. The basketball shorts just don’t look right. Should have did the same style as 2013. And I’m not even going to start on C3POs legs 😡.
I thought that set would be around $250 but $500? you can buy rivendell or the sauron eye tower thingy for that much and get like top tier quality figures in those.
I would probably buy that for the hair piece and the upper body to be used on another dancer (or the Rystall like alien near Gardula in the podrace scene). Would take the hair and update my old proper Leia.
@@MandRproductions but she was nude in the movie. I agree this is not a technical issue as some people wants to convince me, is pure political decision and it makes me angry
@@MandRproductions I see where you're coming from, I guess I just never considered her naked in the 2013 version (cause she has a red hips part). Plus, Lego released many swimsuit minifigs recently (ex Swimsuit Batman and beach tourist) with a similar design as the old Leia and nobody is making a big deal out of it. So why treat this minifig differently Lego? 🫠
Ok, what were they thinking with that Bib Fortuna minifig?! I get that they haven't made the version of his headpiece from Return of the Jedi since 2012, but reusing the piece from Boba Fett's throne room is so cheap and lazy, especially in a $500 UCS set... Like come on guys, his head tenacles were clearly not that big in the movie! Any Star Wars fan would know this, especially ones that are buying a $500 UCS set!
the same as using commander as a pilot in the gunship - fans are dumb, they wont notice - its a yellow clone that was piloting it - they are idiots and will buy it anyway so why should we cut on our profits
Costs a little too much, and where tf are the weequay guards?!?? But I truly do like it. Can’t afford it tho 😢 Edit: what did they do to my boy!?! (Selacious B Crumb)
Ryan do you plan on picking up a few more desert skiff sets and making the scene? Would love to see that in the video to see how that looks on display!
Love the build for the Sail Barge!! Better than I had expected. The figs are definitely hit or miss. Not a deal breaker but yeah they cut some corners.
It is great to see Jabba minifigure (or Big fig actually 😊 ) in a set again! :) I agree with you that adding a cheap, non-dualmolded, C-3PO to this set is just a Big mistake from Lego - they could have done better in this regard. Overall, I am going to preorder it to get the GWP.
The price is what it is because of the resale price. The old set (non Ucs) is $400 on BL. This is why they are slowly taking advantage of the resale market.
still people would buy the old one due to proper Leia and a Ree-Yees and a Weequay - maybe the aftermarket price would even go down a bit to compete - they will still make 200eur if they sell it for 300eur
I think Lego has to pay alot of star wars IP licensing which is why they maybe have a low budget for the rest of the set. It seems they really need to cut costs at all aspects of star wars sets.
Since the moment I got back into LEGO several years ago I've been saying I wish we had a UCS Jabba's Sail barge. Now its here I feel on first impression it really is good. Question for me is do I want it before I get Rivendell... Luke's hilt could be what seals the deal ... time will see. Good preview Ryan, look forward to hearing your thoughts once you've got it in your hands and have built it.
now that we’re getting an actual luke’s lightsaber we need a proper plaque for the old “luke’s lightsaber” that was actually anakins. maybe on mandrshop?
I would of liked to see the green boots on the slave Leia minifig. That would require lego to add another color to their printer. I know that is asking too much from them lol.
I think Jabba got to keep his normal eyes because his eyes have that more snake like shape. Since the Sith eyes and Salacious eyes still have circular pupils they have the weird eyes.
It’s a genuine miracle Jabba was able to keep his pupils!😭🙏
There is a God!
Indeed there is!

The fact you have to purchase a grossly overpriced Sarlaac pit to complete the scene is bad but not including the best version of C3PO in a $500 UCS set tips it over the edge.
Omg the jorts on Leia! Omg the $500 price tag….. stands in line on release date. 😢😂
I wish the top was more studded. I don’t like how Legos is moving away from studded stuff. It keeps the lego “feel” to it if that makes sense. It just feels like a moc with all the smooth slabs.
Should be way bigger for the price imo
thats the reason ill skipp it. I really want an minifig scale sail barge for my Tatooine scenarios, but this is not the right one and ill have to build a MOC myself as even the build is not good enough to copy like ill build UCS AT-AT based on the lego instructions from own bricks
This is clearly not worth the price on its own. My question is- does the lightsaber promotion make it worth it? Past ones sell for $100 now, and I’d buy the sail barge for $400.
1:24 Price is that high simply because it’s Star Wars
The 1 time LEGO decide to do side leg printing and it's not even needed/ looked better without it 😂😂😂
The Sail Barge was one of (if not my Top) Favorite levels from the Lego Star Wars series, and if this set does that level justice, then I'm all about it!
Ok Ryan. Game on. Time to get this before the LAN. CAN HE THREE-PEAT???
I loved the original set, but like damn you don’t even get boba, luke, Han, chewy, or lando in the UCS. Not to mention the cantina retires this year and I much rather pick that one up for $100 cheaper and comes with better figures with almost the same amount of pieces seriously I don’t usually complain, but now I get why lego starwars fans are always pissed off
I will say I’m surprised they didn’t include Droopy McCool and Sy Snootles in this set considering they are actually named and semi known characters that are part of Max Rebo’s band as I can’t think of another set they would show up in anytime soon, and tha Cantina had so many characters along that vein. Also a couple extra weequay characters even unnamed would have fit nicely!
Also they should have made transparent stands, either standard bricks or technic beams like pod racers have. Oh and within the same price…
I really think lego treatment of the star wars franchise is due to a lingering annamosity of it was what saved lego from going bankrupt not their own ip sets. And it's just unfortunate that they treat it that way! Lack of detail, figs, parts, getting things right when now a days we have internet to check quality to what actually appeared. The reason is simple they could care less that it saved the business plus everyone keeps buying star wars even if ripoff or inaccurate so why change?
It's officially called the Khetanna by the way.
Yeah ngl I wish that was the name on the UCS plaque
Im so mixed on this set.
Build ia perfect. Price is a little sketchy but then you compare it to Rivendell for the same price and Barge price is kinda absurd.
Jabba, Max Rebo, R2, and all the Guards are all perfect figures.
C-3PO should have had the dual molded leg. Salacious should have had pupils. Bib should have had a better head piece and possible pupils (its not as soulless as Salacious and kinda works like Thrawn.) And I think Leia should have had printed shoes. Maybe arm printing but that may be treading into overdetail territory.
Overall I think it is pretty good, but figs should have been better for the price.
I can usually forgive seemingly overpriced sets - the lighthouse with its electronic features, the orient express with its large and newly colored pieces, etc. But this is completely absurd. $500 for lacking figures and a low piece count not even above 4,000 is just insane to me.
this is like 350-400
Honestly only thing I see improved in new Leia is the hair piece. Put this hair on 2013 Slave Leia and I think that’s the best we’ll ever see. The basketball shorts just don’t look right. Should have did the same style as 2013. And I’m not even going to start on C3POs legs 😡.
I thought that set would be around $250 but $500? you can buy rivendell or the sauron eye tower thingy for that much and get like top tier quality figures in those.
Sauron is missing the large body type used last for Avatar figs, but yes - im getting Rivendell instead
What other set compares to rivindale? Dare i say none?
can't wait till tomorrow when we get Ryans review this set. after getting it overnighted from Iceland and built within a few hours.
Feels like a decade since we heard the initial rumour.
I think new Max Rebo has more rounded ear tips and maybe less crinkles at ear's base
Suprise lego and disney allow this money I mean tone down slave leia to be in the set. They really man of culture 😂
Jabba's sail barge with slave leia microfighter when
I would probably buy that for the hair piece and the upper body to be used on another dancer (or the Rystall like alien near Gardula in the podrace scene). Would take the hair and update my old proper Leia.
For the price, I think it should have come with the other desert skiff and more minifigures that we see in ROTJ
I can look past the C-3PO but the goddamn Bib Fortuna is ridiculous, that’s blatantly inaccurate and flat out lazy
Really hope we get a smaller set for some extra guards- nowhere near enough in this set and they didn't even include a single one in the skiff set.
Most people don't display their minifigures from the back... Imo giving Leia dual-molded legs and not c3p0 is just ridiculous...
It’s not about displaying the figure from the back. They don’t want her to look nude full-stop. (In my opinion)
@@MandRproductions but she was nude in the movie. I agree this is not a technical issue as some people wants to convince me, is pure political decision and it makes me angry
@@MandRproductions I see where you're coming from, I guess I just never considered her naked in the 2013 version (cause she has a red hips part). Plus, Lego released many swimsuit minifigs recently (ex Swimsuit Batman and beach tourist) with a similar design as the old Leia and nobody is making a big deal out of it. So why treat this minifig differently Lego? 🫠
Still am annoyed we didn’t get a build as a bonus for the Venator last year, Ahsoka’s lightsaber could’ve worked well
I think lego, singlehandedly, is driving inflation.
Ok, what were they thinking with that Bib Fortuna minifig?! I get that they haven't made the version of his headpiece from Return of the Jedi since 2012, but reusing the piece from Boba Fett's throne room is so cheap and lazy, especially in a $500 UCS set... Like come on guys, his head tenacles were clearly not that big in the movie! Any Star Wars fan would know this, especially ones that are buying a $500 UCS set!
the same as using commander as a pilot in the gunship - fans are dumb, they wont notice - its a yellow clone that was piloting it - they are idiots and will buy it anyway so why should we cut on our profits
This should be 350-400 € / $ max!
The fact they had a better bib fortuna 10 years ago in the Jabba palace is insane
Costs a little too much, and where tf are the weequay guards?!??
But I truly do like it. Can’t afford it tho 😢
Edit: what did they do to my boy!?! (Selacious B Crumb)
Ryan do you plan on picking up a few more desert skiff sets and making the scene? Would love to see that in the video to see how that looks on display!
I bet M&R already has this set as we speak
Love the build for the Sail Barge!! Better than I had expected. The figs are definitely hit or miss. Not a deal breaker but yeah they cut some corners.
they have cut a lot of corners on the minifig side in a adult oriented overpriced set
@@ondrejm5042like what?
It feels like Lego designers always put in the most effort in the builds, but then dismiss minifigures
Overpriced but cool If I had a lot of money randomly in my pocket
I would love to find more random money in my pocket.
@@crazydog1750 yea but even if i did, im not buying this crappy set
Ur literally Payton Manning?
@@MandRproductions Even the manningcast doesn tgive me enough cash to buy ts
It is great to see Jabba minifigure (or Big fig actually 😊 ) in a set again! :) I agree with you that adding a cheap, non-dualmolded, C-3PO to this set is just a Big mistake from Lego - they could have done better in this regard. Overall, I am going to preorder it to get the GWP.
In the movies the top deck is tan
The price is what it is because of the resale price. The old set (non Ucs) is $400 on BL. This is why they are slowly taking advantage of the resale market.
still people would buy the old one due to proper Leia and a Ree-Yees and a Weequay - maybe the aftermarket price would even go down a bit to compete - they will still make 200eur if they sell it for 300eur
Thanks for the first look.
Wonderful set but so expensive ahhhh. Also not a lot of minifigures
I think Lego has to pay alot of star wars IP licensing which is why they maybe have a low budget for the rest of the set. It seems they really need to cut costs at all aspects of star wars sets.
Since the moment I got back into LEGO several years ago I've been saying I wish we had a UCS Jabba's Sail barge. Now its here I feel on first impression it really is good. Question for me is do I want it before I get Rivendell... Luke's hilt could be what seals the deal ... time will see. Good preview Ryan, look forward to hearing your thoughts once you've got it in your hands and have built it.
@12:57 the photo, it's clear white as the back wall...so perhaps the back walls also come down.
That's a different set
Exclusive Luke's Lightsaber gwp is killing me here. Rivendell & Avengers' Tower are way better deals. Lego got us by the Wookie!
now that we’re getting an actual luke’s lightsaber we need a proper plaque for the old “luke’s lightsaber” that was actually anakins. maybe on mandrshop?
I would of liked to see the green boots on the slave Leia minifig. That would require lego to add another color to their printer. I know that is asking too much from them lol.
dont forget the golden ornaments on the boots - that +1 color :)
I think Jabba got to keep his normal eyes because his eyes have that more snake like shape. Since the Sith eyes and Salacious eyes still have circular pupils they have the weird eyes.
So 3900 pieces w/11 figs = $500 but the Cantina 3200 pieces w/21! figures = $399 originally $350.. Nah LEGO the math ain't mathin
