If'we're lucky, they'd let us have that as a GWP for $50 worth of SW. However, I can see it being $75 or something higher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eliminator Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 So....this is the May the 4th giveaway then? Hopefully there's some sort of minifig poly as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oneknightr Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 The radar dish doubling as a handle is pretty cool. Did 10198 have a handle? I remember the engines on my 10019 falling off quite frequently. This seems pretty solid...I know it's much smaller than 10019 but it's still nice.

I feel sorry for anyone still holding onto a 10198. It's toast. The first time I saw pics of 75244 I thought the same thing as this guy - that the gaps between the engines were unsightly and out of place. But when you compare it to the source, it's actually more accurate than not. I think it could use some cleaning up, but overall 75244 better captures the engines than 10198. In my opinion, the wheels LEGO used for engines in 10198, ISD 75055, and Kylo Ren's Command Shuttle 75104 are horrible. The wheels they use for engines on 75244 and ISD 6211 are so much better. One thought: anyone holding a 10198 could pass it off as a CR-60 instead of the Tantive IV (a CR-90).

zarda1 Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 At some point I think it stops being cute to use lego pieces in ways in which they weren't originally intended. 11 tires hanging off the back of the thing is distracting. If you're going to make that many of them I dont see why you can't design a proper piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Mack Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I don't really know why they bothered with a designer video for this set. Been there, done that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mathew Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 These $200 UCS sets must really hit a sweet spot. I'm surprised after all these years we still haven't seen a UCS AT-AT. But I'm not sure if it can be scaled properly to make it a decent 2,000 piece set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is the next AT-AT will be similar in size to the previous one, they'll add a smaller snow speeder, label it a Master Builder Series set and charge $200 for it.

I doubt LEGO will ever put a minifigure sized AT-AT and snowspeeder in the same set. Those are their bread and butter for selling Hoth sets. Sadly, we have like what, six of Luke's snowspeeder and only two with orange. One of those two has no tail gunner and the other was only available in the most over-priced Hoth set ever. It's a shame LEGO never came out with Rogue Squadron snowspeeders. They could have sold a dozen of those in different sets. But they keep coming out with Luke's not realizing his is the only one with grey coloring. Or they're just being lazy since they have the Luke minifigure and don't want the fan base getting all over them for producing the same parts and calling them by different names.

Captain_chaos Posted April 22, 2019 Share Posted April 22, 2019 Honestly £179.99 for this is a bloody joke. I certainly won't be paying that. I'm sure £130 will be achievable with patience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought mine May 4th at the Lego store and do not regret anything, in my opinion this is the best release of a tantive lV Lego has ever released. Glad to get it retail than to watch it retire again and look at over $500 later. Lol Added a UCS Stand cause it deserves it, plus with the extra pieces it came with and a few if my own, I added greebles inside the thruster pack. Looks Great! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MotorCityMuscle Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 anyone have this and want to comment on the build? display? anything? i believe this one is on the chopping block. think it's worth putting a few aside to collect dust? it's non-UCS. just wondering what the consensus is.
