$20 on joe vs dan Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 needed less on pedestal/floor and more on the "egg" it's such an iconic piece yet many wouldn't recognize it without the labeling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raindroplet Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 (edited) This is a 20 dollar convention set slapped onto 20 dollars worth of solid brick base. Very disappointing. I'm not a fan of LEGO trying to make every set a "collectible" or trying to justify itself to adults with such low self-esteem that they won't buy LEGOs unless it has adult M+ labeling.

That picture on the front of the box will not be helping to sell any of these.Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk A gray background would have gone a long ways to create some contrast to help sell it. The whole thing just looks underwhelming. The price point / part is ok, but that base is huge. Shame they didn't include a stretched-hexagon shaped screen with a huge image of the emperor on it. I know no one likes stickers, but that would make the setting obvious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathew Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 (edited) I prefer my Kenner hybrid Meditation chamber / Super Star Destroyer playset. Even if it does appear that Vader is overcompensating for his limp lightsaber.

keymomachine Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Also up for pre-order on Walmart. I'm not a fan. How can you meditate with all that light streaming in through the gaping holes in your isolation chamber? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exracer327 Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Oh, cool, there is a screen. It's the scene when Vader force chokes Admiral Ozzel after being informed by Gen. Veers of Ozzel's blunder in alerting the Rebels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaisonline Posted June 2, 2021 Share Posted June 2, 2021 Looks pretty cool. I know many online are blasting it but I like it. Now about that MSRP, ugh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
