I love it. I am glad they choose to include the little speeder that Anakin takes to the Senate. IT is very well detailed in my opinion and should make for some great scene reanactments, suck as when yoda confronts palpy.

Is that the same Anakin minifigure as the recent JSF? The only difference I see is a cape.

Is this the first PT Palpatine with a lightsaber? He comes with a nice gold golored hilt.

I'm just glad to finally be seeing the non-Clone Wars styles of Mace Windu and Saesee Tinn. The only problem is that part of me is thinking "really expensive Jedi battlepack."

Love the non-CW style faces! The office looks pretty good as well. I am hoping that most of the heads are double printed! Obviously not Mace or Kit, but hopefully the rest!

I honestly don't see how that set is exciting at all.

Wow. Just wow. Even with the terrible piece to price ratio, that is a really well-done set. I am pleasantly surprised. Saesee Tiin's face looks terrible though, other than that, they nailed it.

I love this set, it's not too impressive as a build, but it accurately portrays the scene. What is far more exciting is getting all these cool Jedi that have previously been the domain of the Clone Wars sets, for someone who doesn't collect those sets this is absolute gold. Most likely this scene will never be seen again in Lego form, so I'll be sure to get it as soon as possible.

I hate the price, but I really like the set. It was such a climactic scene from ROTS that I think I really have to have it. Plus, as mentioned, the office can be used for the ROTS Yoda/Sidious confrontation and you might even be able to use it for an AOTC scene if some of the figures are swapped out.

Still the nice thing about Legos is that I'm in no rush to get this set, as it will be out for awhile. I can scrape together $90 in that time or wait for a sale or promo.

Wow, that is incredibly underwhelming Terrible price and what seems to be a very small and unimpressive build. The only thing it's got going for it is the nice assortment of minifigs but still...

Cant say im impressed with this set at all... nothing new about it, just a couple of new prints, and a golden hilt... 'big wow' considering the huge price for it all =/

The only reason I see to get this is purely so one can say they own the set.

Total let down IMO. No new figures at all.

I find this to be a bit disapointing.

The build looks simple, is a mashup of the two offices, and Anakin has his Sith face. The other 'Figs look good; as does the speeder. I would prefer to Bricklink the 'Figs and speeder parts/stickers. It would be less expensive that way.

Wow! I am excited for this set. I've been waiting for pictures and they are finally here. The minifig line-up looks great. I can't wait to get them. New non-Clone Wars faces for Mace, Saesee, Agen Kolar, Palpatine! The new Anakin is beautiful from the JSF and I don't have a Kit Fisto, so that is very welcomed as well. This is exactly what I was expecting and it does not disappoint. The price could certainly be better, but I'm sure bricklinking the figures I don't have (5 of the 6) would make the price about the same as buying the set, so I will definitely pick this up. Plus, you get a neat little scene and some extra bricks.

Suprise

WOW!!! Nice proof that it will available in June (in Germany / Europe)! Palpatine's Arrest! Available in the shops! Thanks for the link: that actually looks very good indeed!

I'm am really exited for this. I have been waiting about 4 year for this! I wonder when it's US release will be? How much was it again in USD?

Thanks for the Pictures nrg!

Well, From the start, I had a bad feeling about Palapatine's Arrest and sadly I think I was correct. The set looks pretty simply, nothing to hard to build and lacks alot of possible features considering its price. Although the set itself may not be that great, The minifigs are just amazing! It good to finally see lego starting to drive away from the clone wars minifig look. The Four Jedi are great, nice how they included all of them sucks how they didn't give Kit Fisto a new head though, Palapatine looks incredible with his new double-sided face aswell as his cool golden lightsaber hilt and I can't really see that much change in Anakin though other than his cape and new face. The Jedi speeder looks pretty good too, has some flick-fires and a cockpit so I'm happy. Overall the set is okay, the minifigs and the speeder save it from save it from total failure but, the shocking high price of the set I think will make it hard to sell. If it were around 50$-70$ I would easily buy it, but I'm very conflicted with the set at this point. Hopefully, there will be a 40% off sale at Toys R Us soon then I would be an easy purchase for me.

I honestly don't see how that set is exciting at all.

Good, I'm not alone. It's a failry boring set all around. The minifigures are all rather boring.

I think part of the reason is because of the hype. I have been personally waiting for this set for some time. Now we have it..

Wow!! I'm super stoked for this set!!! Granted, it is a little on the small side, but it's pretty well done for its size. It'll be great to have such a faithful representation of Palpatine's office.

It looks to me like there are technic bricks located around the base of the set....perhaps for some expansion sets in the future??

Sort of semi interesting set, but $90! Bah! Is Palpatine leasing office space at Tokyo real estate rates?

I have been too, but it's so boring.

I see what your saying, I'll probaly wait for a sale or for it to be on clearance... $90 seems way too high.

Is the set an exclusive, and if so to what store?

Here in the U.S., I believe it's Toys R Us.

Yep that's what I'd think. Which means you'll pay at least $10 more.

No kidding. As if the price/piece value wasn't bad enough already.
