295 piece count...so they doin it w/ small sets too

 

Love this style.  Bring on the Carbon freezing chamber companion set next. This is probably how Lego should have done the Bespin UCS set:  A series of dioramas That could be interconnected for display on a shelf.

I really like how they did this with the Harry Potter sets. I think a Star Wars lineup would be money.

Sorry, I couldn't resist given the Osprey debacle

For immediate Release:

The LEGO Group announces cancellation of Bespin Duel 75294

"Having an absentee father beat and maim his son before consigning him to the abyss after he refuses to accept his father's philosophical views isn't in keeping with our company values," says Dirk McDirk Face. "I mean, don't get me wrong," continued Dirk, 'We at the LEGO Group are all about good clean fantasy violence. We've made bank selling battle stations responsible for destroying entire worlds, but LEGO is a family brand and domestic violence isn't really our bag."

How limited are these?  I know that there seemed to be 10's of thousands of the Vader Bust last year.

 

This set is good but could have been great if the carbon freeze chamber was part of it.

The carbon freeze chamber is far away, and on a different floor than this location. That would push it back toward being another playset as opposed to a display piece.

If Vader Bust is your benchmark then this is most likely not as limited as you would like it to be

I did OK w Vader bust...sold it 3x RRP a couple months ago...not bad for <1 yr hold.

I will take the 5% discount on this.

think the difference will be that it's also available at LEGO.com. Vader Bust was completely a Target exclusive, correct?

That didn’t stop the Cloud City designers from including the two side by side:

Which was my point. That is a playset. This set is a display piece.

Hrmm.. Nothing on here is stating a limited run. I don't remember if the vader one mentioned limited as well.

I get that. But it still would be nice to have both in a display that fit together on a shelf.  Don’t overthink it. Go with the flow.

this was the nugget I tripped over on my stagger out of my cave 😬

50% off on Target clearance shelf...quite possibly the first set I bought after a 40 year hiatus...tickled that it's actually selling for above RRP

Anything unique about the set?  Figs don't look new.

They don't look like new figures to me either.  Still, for the Vader bust Lego only made like 40,000( I think) so if its that limited that's enough for me. But if its like the talk on the sdcc Wonder Woman set,  a few think with the back order system they will make enough to meet demand. then Bespin duel is just an ok set( for resale). IMO
