MstrOfPppts Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 This set really looks nice and I can't wait to see all the details on the minifigs! Though it's quite a bit pricy - by the size I think it should be around the 100€ (it looks just a bit bigger than the POTC Whitecap bay to me) but guess all the figures lift the price up more than I thought they will ): Quote
october Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Thanks for the photos and video. Looks ok but not worth the money in my opinion. Quote
wesker Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Lego has really been nailing the playsets lately. This new palace is fantastic along with the figures! I'm so glad Jabba has finally been given some articulation around the head/waist. Can't wait to see close ups of the others - especially Leia and Oola. Only downside so far is the trapdoor. It looks like they're using the canvas material used for sails and capes. I hope I'm wrong though and its just a stickered piece. Quote
DutchRebel Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Oh yes, nice surprise! I'm not a playset fan at all, but Jabba's palace looks cool! Thought I was gonna buy it just for the figs, but the building itself also looks good. Of course the figs are the USP's: Jabba is done very well, same 4 the guard. Let's hope for more detailed images of Leia as Bousch and Oola soon. Thanx for posting the images and video. DR Quote
Lance Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Here's the partlist that I received from someone. If it wasn't so long ago, I would give the person I received this list from the credit. That guy must have the patience of a saint Still he's a hero in my book, for saving us all this time. What I don't get with the SWTOR sets is that the game is 16+, and the sets are for kids Just doesn't add up. Mind you, the trooper's torso in the starfighter could be usefull for Commander Cody Quote
ablake90 Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Hi guys have been lurking few a good 7/8 months and have only just joined so excuse the new profile. It seems at the end of the video the guy says that the set is the strongest product for christmas 2012? Quote

It seems at the end of the video the guy says that the set is the strongest product for christmas 2012? "...our main product for Christmas 2012", that's what he said at the beginning, and "our strongest product for Christmas 2012" at the end of the video, correct. I was hoping for a Chewie with printed eyes and mouth, but it seems it's the old one. Edited February 9, 2012 by Brickadeer Quote

ablake90 Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Oh damn, i thought this wave was set for august release? Are they likely to leave this set until the end of the year? Quote
october Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 The next way after August is January 2013. So it is correct, strongest product for christmas 2012. Quote
ablake90 Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 The next way after August is January 2013. So it is correct, strongest product for christmas 2012. Wasn't this particular set in the prelims for the next wave of releases? It would be strange to miss out this set when were getting the skiff too, lets just hope the guy was wrong. Quote

It would be strange to miss out this set when were getting the skiff too, lets just hope the guy was wrong. Well...I'm not an expert, but I think it's safe to say that the set will we available at some point between July and September. I know that it will come during 2012, and I really don't bother whether it is released one or two months earlier or later. Quote
ablake90 Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Now im not a huge fan on the clone wars, but with this new Jabba mold could we see our first Zirro? Quote
giggitygoo Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 *eye twitch* Are my eyes fooling me? I MUST HAVE JABBA'S PALACE Quote
CaptainCRO Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 I will very likely get Jabba's palace. I like everything about it, and I can combine it with 4480. Quote
Masked Builder Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 I am now very tempted to buy that Palace set. It's mush better looking than I thought it would be. Just look at all of those lovely new minifigures. Now to find out what the price is..... Quote
Esvald Forceswoop Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 The Palace looks very cool :) I want it now! The new figures are amazing! Quote
Sir_Basil_Ashton Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 "...our main product for Christmas 2012", that's what he said at the beginning, and "our strongest product for Christmas 2012" at the end of the video, correct. I was hoping for a Chewie with printed eyes and mouth, but it seems it's the old one. I think Chewie deserves an update. He's going to look very dated next to all the newer/detail-heavy minifigs. If they won't update him, maybe LEGO will make Chewie in the CW style. A Wookies and Trandoshans set would be cool. Quote
LegoDad Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 This was a set I was going to get regardless, but now I feel much better about spending the money on it. The updated figures and palace design make me very happy I never put money down for the old one. With a raised baseplate, this would be pretty easily MOC'd into having a rancor pit. This and the Skiff will be my only SW purchases for this year(unless R2 is awesome) so I'm glad they look as good as they do. Quote
Algernon Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Jabba's palace is looking quite nice, it seems as though the minifigs alone will make this one worth picking up. Definitely better than the last rendition, and the new Jabba mold isn't half bad. Unfortunately I'm sure the price tag will keep me away from this one, at least until next year's after-Christmas sales. Quote
sealslip3 Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Jabba's Palace looks very nice; I'm particularly fond of how it looks from the back- very much like the movie. And the new figures look excellent, but if its over $100 I'll probably have to give it a lot of thought. Salacious Crumb looks like he has a one piece mold, similar to LEGO animals. I'm hoping for some kind of articulation, so hopefully I'll be surprised Quote
Poison Ivy Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 I can't really give final judgement on this set until I see more of Oola, but from what I can see she's lime green, which might be less accurate than Sand Green but looks pretty good. The rest of the palace is pretty meh, it looks more like something from Theed than anything else, what with the domed roof and all. Then again, it might be accurate, I never really paid attention to the OT Quote

Poison Ivy Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 Could Oola be olive green? Hopefully she is as, that's a bit closer to the actual color of the character than Lime. Sand Green would be best, but I think that that would take away from TLG's usually bright colorscheme for minifigs. Quote

Sand Green would be best, but I think that that would take away from TLG's usually bright colorscheme for minifigs. I think that they may be replacing sand green with olive green. Sand green was the last remaining sand color. How many brightly-colored characters (aside from Clones, stormies, etc) are there in SW? Not many. Edited February 9, 2012 by Legoman273 Quote
