The singles have been $9.99 since they came out in 2014. Same piece count as this years Slave 1 so you are basically paying $6 for the dual molded baby yoda. 

got dat damn grogu tax. they should have also included one of those leftover Cara Dune minfigs.

That was not a UCS labeled set.

Chad's kinda right though,  been argued before many times as well but no logo no UCS,  was never marketed on the LEGO page as UCS either.  Just was always in the scale and everyone called it that.

It's not on the box.  It's not on the instructions.  It's not UCS.

75361 - Mandalore Spider Droid? 526 pieces 

Bo-Katan has arm printing, introduction to the Dark Saber piece. Spider droid looks decent. Unless you fall in love with the scene from the show, meh.

It's like the spider tank from Ghost In The Shell. Not quite a Tachikoma. Would be perfect for the Think Tanks group.

It looks more like a tick than a spider  

Dioramas found on the shelves early

75332: Emperor's Throne Room
75353: Endor Speeder Chase
Prices are $129.99 and $99.99 CAD, so $100 and $80 USD

I remember when we got a full throne room for $100 (75921) and $80 (75093). Shrinkflation

Edited March 27, 20232 yr by brickvoyeur

wow Speeder Chase looks severely underwhelming at minifig scale. Maybe if it was more like the Trench Run scale it could have been interesting.

I guess 75291 has some room for growth.

I like these diorama sets.  Oh course I also like the micro scene sets too.  and ships, gotta love ships.

Man, no kidding! Not only Shrinkflation, but insane “Star Wars Tax” too. LEGO and Disney can literally get away with murder because we all like their dang stuff too much! 🤦‍♂️

That is at once so cute and also the most expensive figure pack I've seen in a while.

It's a 4+ so bunch of unique pieces and printings.  But still...  so expensive.

$39.99? No.

It's new pricing like this that is fueling my current sales on older sets. They don't seem so expensive anymore, I guess.
