Lego has lost their minds, the plot, etc.

$330? LEGO has lost their ******* minds. Psst: The set # is 41843, not 40843

Got to sell those other trains now.

I feel it's different enough to justify both. I'm glad they went with totally different coloring/features.

Is Lego finally making a UCS Christmas Tree? Family: 41843 Family Christmas Tree images from moose.with.a.goose

I have both UCS Falcons, both UCS Star Destroyers and the UCS AT-AT built and on display, and yet even though the new Death Star is generally bigger than any of them, it just feels....underwhelming? It's big, but it's empty. Its a display piece, but it's boring. Take the dioramas for the Emperor's Throne Room, the Garbage Compactor and Darth Vader's Meditation chamber, stick them in a generic wall frame and slap in a few basic sets (Death Star Cannon, Death Star Escape, Detention Block Escape) and you essentially get the same thing. There is no engineering wow like the AT-AT. No detail and shine like the Falcon. Not even the big cheese wedgeness of the Star Destroyer. It just looks like a circular frame for smaller sets. Maybe if they had done something like the Batcave Shadow Box and had a spherical front that swung open dollhouse style to see the interior. Or something crazy like a spherical front that hinged open in both directions to have an interior with the sphere halves on each side. Something that shows pushing design to the limits (like the AT-AT) to make it look impressive inside and out. Something to justify the hype and the price... But they didn't. It's just lame, lazy, boring and overpriced, which describes too much of Lego SW these days. I'm happily looking forward to buying the Venator over this. And fortunately, just like the Venator, they gave us the laziest, most underwhelming GWP possible for such an expensive set, ensuring there is no FOMO to drive an early sale. Harry Potter sets get more figures and better GWPs every single time they drop a big set. I don't know why Lego is so clueless in comparison....
