Never expected this ugliness. What are we supposed to do with this?

Let it rot on the shelves until LEGO gets a clue.

This is prime subject material for some epic MOC that will blow everyones minds and get them to buy it.

Like turning this into a complete sphere with more dioramas in other slices or something

Hmm, a $1000 msrp set that requires MOC to make it epic.  Probably not the publicity LEGO would want.. 🤣

The more I listen to the Designer defend his decisions the more I hate this set. He wanted to save space but you can’t hang the set on the wall. Wait until we see the sticker sheets. The back is horrendous so where do you display it.

I'm sure there will be a MOC on rebrickable for a complete sphere.  Just buy 4x sets.  You can sell off the duplicate figs and have a small Stormtrooper Army 😀

I don't dislike it, but can't see buying it.  It's a unique/interesting concept, but not for $1000.  There are so many other sets that give the "wow factor" for much less money.  This is just like you bought an overpriced lego built display case for all your individually bought dioramas.  Unfortunately, the wow factor is more from the price tag or piece count than the final display piece.

I don’t think this is right… the hot tub stormtrooper is supposed to be on the back side right ? Is this moc?

You’d still be missing the necessary structure and plating for the sphere section. You’d essentially have a Death Star sandwich.

Pretty sure it’s legit.

HUUUUUUGE miss on the GWP. Could have done something really epic. As for the back of the set, meh...its rough looking, but given that 99% of people will be slapping this next to a wall, it can be somewhat forgiven.

For me, the nail in the coffin is the price. $800, (maybe $850 with a crazy special over-the-top GWP) would be acceptable.

Ha

[MrToes16]

If you get the set, might as well go all out.

$35 list price on LEGO Shop-at-Home for this runt of the litter. A nigh beefier MicroFighter esque build.

No junk in this trunk.

An Instagram post (@maxbautde) showing the stormtrooper hot tub section. Possibly hidden in the top left of the build tucked behind the elevator shaft.

 

Other than the under-budget yet overpriced Tie Fighter, my chief critiques would be the sticker sheet and lack of leg printing for majority of the minifigures let alone no dual molded legs seemingly reserved for the singular Hot Tub Stormtrooper.

This review shows the precise placement roughly in the spot mentioned beginning around the 10:27 mark.
