About this deal

Of these, FO AT-ST, no questions asked. It's not only half a vehicle, it's even just half of a scene. You can recreate about 20 seconds of film with this, and that's all it's good for. The ludicrous pricing (especially compared to the excellent Rogue One AT-ST) only adds insult to injury. Personally I disagree with many of the items being on this list—the first bunch are from around the birth of the theme, a time when LEGO designing was a far more difficult task than it is now, and a good number of the newer entries on the list I happen to like—although given that I liked Assault on Hoth(!) that may not be surprising. Plus, who doesn't enjoy more assassin droids? :-) It may use crude and basic shapes made of the roof pieces and panels of the time, but the canopy piece and extender were great in their own right, and the set was a reasonable price! Like the first X-Wing and Landspeeder, these were decent, affordable Star Wars sets, before LEGO decided to adopt the policy of pushing sets to be bigger and bigger and prices ever higher.

There are studies proving that a parent is much more likely to buy something if they can relate to it. While children may be the target audience, Lego is really selling sets to adults. So when Star Wars is chosen over say, Castle, its because of the parents, not the children.How do I insult Lego fans by reminding them of the true Lego themes that matter? An AFOL is an Adult Fan of Lego, real Lego, not some borrowed idea from stupid movies. There are too many Adult Fans of Star Wars who have taken over the Lego community. After 2014’s Star Wars Rebels sets, I don’t think there’s a “worst LEGO Star Wars set”. Few of them are boring or need functions as seen in the movies/series, but I like all of them. I don’t understand why so many people hate 75098 or 75177. They’re pretty cool and some of my favourites.

Notes: Three different lengths are commonly provided for the TIE Advanced x1. Detailed fan calculations have established that the length is nearest to the shortest of those canon measurements, which would match the design in 75150 Vader's TIE Advanced vs. A-wing Starfighter. I definitely fall into the camp that believes comparing the builds from the first few years to sets from several years later is something of a pointless exercise. As already mentioned numerous times, the color palette, available parts, and experience in creating these sets was at a much lower level than later. For the most part, the best you could hope for was an approximation of what was being created. I think each of the three sets listed here actually do a good job in that respect. Star Destroyer and Death Star could have been fun additions just to put their true magnitude in another perspective. Minifig scale Imperial Destroyer would be about 24.4m long based on their purported length of around 1km. " I voted for the FO At-St. The others on the list of choices don't strike me personally as all that awful. Though I do not approve of the Assault on Hoth set I also recognize if I were a kid again I would love it. Measurements taken from StarWars.com, Wookieepedia.com or the most recent canonical reference book.Assault on Hoth wins this contest for me. There was so much excitement and such promise when we heard TLG was creating a UCS Hoth Base. Then when it came out it was such a disappointment. The set is supposed to be top of the line, and like Rex said, it fails in both concept and execution. Come on, a hodgepodge of smaller sets crammed together to be UCS? Very sad. I did not waste my money on this set.
