cardensb Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 https://www.lego.com/en-us/product/dagobah-jedi-training-diorama-75330 One of three new diorama sets shipping in late April, 2022. At $80 with 1000 pieces and 3 figures, it seems pricey but it looks great on the web. I either missed the last training set, skipped it or don't remember buying and building it so this one is likely to end up on a shelf in my collection. The details look amazing even if the Red-5 wing is drastically out of scale. Looking forward to it being available on May 4th for whatever special the Lego Store offers.

cardensb Posted May 11, 2022 Author Share Posted May 11, 2022 You know when the step calls for x39 identical single studs then the next step is x177 clear flat top pieces, you realize why the piece count is so high. Yes, I began building this set this morning. The base was virtually the same as the DS trench run diorama in style so it went together quickly, then I hit bag 2 and 3 with hundreds of single squares and circles. Fun factor died, have to take a break. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardensb Posted May 12, 2022 Author Share Posted May 12, 2022 I finished the set today. It looks nice, most studs are covered beyond those desired to place figures on. The X-wing is out of scale, obviously and does hang over the front edge if you are concerned with staying within the base's dimensions (maybe you are casing it) but can be shifted by moving studs below it and around it. The wing sets into the swamp's flat topped clear studs. It does sit to the back flat for bookshelf space, which is nice. Yoda's hut has play factors but honestly it's so small and only accessible from the back so I doubt you will do much inside. The pot's handle for example, if up, hits the roof. Yoda does have a bed for Jedi Luke to visit him on later though. The trees' plants and other plastic vegetation looks good and has some ability to customize. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iriki Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 I have the "chance" of getting this at 25% discount. I know I know, not nearly enough for a GREAT discount but in Europe there's rarely - if ever! - great deals on IP sets. Even double-VIP from LEGO is around 10% so my thinking is, for 25% I'll get a good/very good display set, good for long term storage as the box is not huge and good for shipping for the same reason, seems like a good deal. What do you reckon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you reckon? Decent buy. Supposed to retire this year. I think these SW dioramas will do well. They look like Star Wars architecture. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrickStanley74 Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 I have piece-count OCD - so the fact this set is 1000pcs exactly, made it an instant buy for me 😄 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well at least here it is easy to get cheaper than 25% - maybe you should Monitor Amazon to get a better Deal. For me 25% off is a hard pass.
