longshot Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Meh.......... Really not liking the proportions of this set at all.............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RKI_Fismo Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Every time I see "The Kessel Run" I can't help but think of the old days when we used to do the kettle run during the ad break in Coronation Street. It's a bit of a reverse ugly duckling story with the Falcon then huh. Started off as a beautiful white swan then shrunk into an ugly duckling which everyone loved more.

longshot Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 Nothing beautiful about that swan IMO..............Yikes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RKI_Fismo Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 I like the old grey "piece of junk" better but the Falcon overall isn't a pretty ship lets be honest. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longshot Posted March 27, 2018 Share Posted March 27, 2018 It just doesnt look like the falcon. They would have been better off using the old design and just changing out the color, minifigs and adding that shuttle thing in front. Plus maybe a few small tweaks like the seating for the cannons. At least the old one was proportionate to the actual ship........... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This new Solo Kessel Run version looks like it was designed 15 years ago. E.g. Lord Business only knows why the Lego designer used those 4 little 2x2 circle parts on the mandibles instead of the circle / hollow plate. The set just looks cheap.

Val-E Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 Jang review. Spoiler alert - it´s overpriced and not a great looker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicSpeed Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I saw this in box at WM, s ammed the price and promptly laughed and put it back. These will be a pass until clearance for me. Ill probably only go for the dark blue land speeder thing as the set. Not too into SW sets, but ill dab in a few.Sent from my VS995 using Brickpicker Forum mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fourkidsbuilding Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 The Han and Lando figures are the only things that interest me in this set... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandyHand Posted April 12, 2018 Share Posted April 12, 2018 I'd be greatly surprised if this Kessel Run MF wins the Toy of the Year award which the predecessor 75105 did in 2016. I think the general consensus is that this set is overpriced and doesn't look as good as the predecessors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prices start at 79 euros on Bricklink. I agree that´s probaby 70 euros too high, but it´s still not a huge amount for the parts you get.

Val-E Posted April 12, 2018 Author Share Posted April 12, 2018 A lot of people will want this set and I am happy to wager a raffle ticket or two that it will be in the Amazon best seller list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, because it's from the new movie and there are no other versions like it(...yet) and LEGO is promoting the Hell out of it. Regardless, it still sucks.
