It’s been a long time since the LEGO Star Wars line last saw a sculptural set. It was 2002 when 7194 Yoda was new on store shelves. Yoda, along with 10018 Darth Maul, must’ve not been hits since nothing followed, unless you count 10186 General Grievous. I don’t, since it’s a fundamentally different type of set, more closely related to the Star Wars Technic figures. So, if it’s been so many years since Yoda, was the [non-existent] wait for 10225 R2-D2 worth the it? (more…)
In addition to finding the set on the shelves early, I just got the official word that 10215 Obi-Wan’s Jedi Starfighter will go on sale officially on Monday October 25, days earlier than the November 1 on sale date announced previously. Hooray?
Try as I might, I can’t bring myself to justify this set. It is neither aesthetically pleasing, nor visually interesting in any way. The economics of the set just plain stinks as well. 676 pieces for a Benjamin? Pass. But hey, I understand there are some of you who are looking forward to this set. To each their own I guess.
