Nice haul! I wish I'd known about the existence of these sooner. I'd definitely have gotten a bunch of these.
I don't suppose you know if there's another company that's gonna end up with the license? From what I can tell, this company has only had the license for a few years (since 2021, I think). Seems a pretty short run for a franchise this big.
maybe lego'll grab it, idk, I hope not though, since lego makes a shitty and overpriced product these days
Overpriced I'd agree with, but the quality seems to be as high as ever imo
I don't even know that I agree with that at this point. 5 years ago I would have maybe agreed but today they're right in line with what I would expect from a product whose quality didn't go down after inflation, since they didn't really raise prices after covid like everyone else.
I'll note though that I'm only talking about sets for the under 12 crowd, I haven't had occasion to buy any of the serous sets since the Tantive IV 20 years ago lol.
Really? That's not been my experience with modern sets
then you've been buying the right sets maybe, but it's still overpriced and they put all kinda of colours in their sets
I’m sorry but what kind of complaint is ‘too many colors’ when talking about Lego?
They might be referring to the brightly colored structural pieces. I got a batmobile, for example, that has a lot of vibrant colors for internal pieces even though the exterior is entirely black and grey. The bright colors are so the instructions are more legible (you can see what was added more readily) and can be surprising when you first open a set, but they're fully covered in the final build and you would only know they were there if you built it yourself. The giant Imperial Star Destroyer is a great example of a model with a lot of internal color.
ISD internal
yeah, that's exactly what I meant, maybe I'm just very autistic, but I payed for a gray set, so I want a gray set, yk
I'm seeing credible-seeming rumours that Lego has acquired the license, but nothing official yet...
Would still love instructions for a 5 thousand piece Enterprise and Bat'leth for mini figs:D
the mini figs are a legal issue unfortunately
