JintaiZ Posted October 1, 2020 Posted October 1, 2020 (edited) Thanks to promobricks, we've got news for the upcoming 77904 Nelson B Frigate, which was intended for the San Diego Comic Con. https://www.promobricks.de/lego-sdcc2020-star-wars-nebulon-b-frigate-77904/109992/ Image from Promobricks We don't have news on the availability yet. Though like other comic-con exclusive sets, it will most likely be available only in the US if it releases. If not, I guess you could find the parts you need and build your own copy! The price? Well, it's a Star Wars set. So what does it mean? More expensive than sets in other themes, pretty much! I would expect it to be around the $45 mark since there isn't that much rare pieces. However, LEGO could easily slap $20 more on it will still sell like hotcakes! My thoughts? I believe this set Is great, and remarkably accurate to the real thing. It's great to see TLG releasing some unique Star Wars sets, because many previous ones were remakes of older sets. Looks like they're getting way more creative with their products than before! Anyways, what are your thoughts? Comment below! Edited October 11, 2020 by JintaiZ Quote
Hold0511 Posted October 1, 2020 Posted October 1, 2020 (edited) Decent little set. Checking the instructions the 40th ESB anni tile is a sticker and there seems to be pretty much nothing too fancy parts wise, so one to make up myself given its a US only sale.

Great idea, though it doesn't have the collector's value anymore when it's no longer sealed... Quote

True enough but I'm one of the buy lego and then build and display / play with kids types so not being in a sealed box is no problemo at all. Quote

Mountain Man Posted October 5, 2020 Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) Lego need to be careful. If its another US exclusive after the Bespin Duel debacle they are at risk of alienating far more customers in the rest of the world than they gain in sales in the US.

Sorry to hear you feel that way. However, since the event was supposed to be in US only, there shouldn't be too much to complain about if you don't live in the US. If you just want this, always try bricklinking the parts. Quote
SteamSewnEmpire Posted October 5, 2020 Posted October 5, 2020 (edited) Interesting. I still wish they'd do a play-scale version of this ship. Edited October 5, 2020 by SteamSewnEmpire Quote

By that logic, shouldn't it be a US and Mexico exclusive given the location of the event was closer to the majority of the Mexican population than a lot of large US population hubs. Using location of the event to justify it being a US exclusive fails completely when you consider basic geography. If you want to be fairer, make it a California exclusive. Only available in local shops. Edited October 6, 2020 by Mountain Man Quote

UK has been getting lots of exclusives too. Quote

You cant claim geography of event for making it a US exclusive when its closer to the Mexican capital and the majority of population and the US's. The issue isnt regional exclusives, its this nonsense argument about event location being used, which fails basic geographical analysis. Blocks magazine is a non lego product. Its a independent publication, no different to US magazines Edited October 6, 2020 by Mountain Man Quote

Its a independent publication. Still... did the US get 21037 or 21055? Nope. In fact, I don't really care much about the SDCC exclusives sets. Perhaps I like 77904, but that's about it. I'd rather get the return of the UCS Snowspeeder. It's been my wanted list for years... Quote
macaron35 Posted October 9, 2020 Posted October 9, 2020 is a micro scale ship ? I'm asking because the more I see micro ships the more I like them I might start collecting and building them one day and wondering if this frigate is compatible with them in terms of size/scale Quote

I'm asking because the more I see micro ships the more I like them I might start collecting and building them one day and wondering if this frigate is compatible with them in terms of size/scale It’s sort of midway between midi and micro scale. I bricklinked and built it last week. Here’s a picture of it in front of the Nebulon B moc I made in January. The moc is 58cm long and 30cm high. https://www.flickr.com/photos/164260086@N06/50427274027/in/dateposted-public/ Quote

CDM Posted October 14, 2020 Posted October 14, 2020 Apparently Amazon sold approx 1000 preorders overnight (with no limit) for an unknown $40 set all but certainly the Nebulon CC exclusive. Set has disappeared from the site. Hopefully it reappears at some point closer to the release date. Quote
