KShine Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I think the designers must have thought it was supposed to be some sort of a tank (it's kinda cool as a tank). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon74 Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Hoped this could have been four times bigger... I would have paid the extra price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The minifigs are good, but the ship doesn't look anything like the real thing. The proportions and angles of the ship are all wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaisonline Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 So far Rebels sets have been hit or miss. This is a big fat miss or a "turd-i-ble". Simply horrible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sprocket77 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 The biggest problem with this set is that we got our hopes up when we heard there might be a new frigate and probably all had an image of an OT frigate, and then this set appears and yuck. A frigate to me in Star Wars is the medical frigate, that would have been cool if done right. But we're not the Rebels market, are we. 10 hours ago, jaisonline said: So far Rebels sets have been hit or miss. As an investment some have been hits, but have any of them been special looking sets, The Ghost looks crap and don't get me started on The Phantom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-Wing vs Tie looks awesome. I can understand you don't like the look of the Ghost, but at least it is faithfull to the source material. As someone who really enjoys the Rebels series I do think that some of the ship designs are a bit uninspired, however the same thing can be said about some Force Awakens sets. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same way that the best looking Force Awaken sets are the Falcon, X-Wing and Tie-Fighter and the new ships are pretty dull. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The image you have there is a Mod/Moc, the Ghost set is a lot stubbier. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thoroakenfelder Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 So, is Ahsoka going to be big enough to move this set? I think She'll be a $20+ loose figure, because no one will want to spend the $100+ for this set. Look at the retail performance of IAC and apply to this one. I do want to see one of these and an IAC hung like pendulums and smashed together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaisonline Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 i just remembered this set was in a total of 2-3 episodes, right? if so, d'oh. it wasn't even that cool. make a 10198 remake or a better ghost / phantom combo. heck, anything is better. this is going to be another Rebels flop despite cool minifigs. at least we have the lego vader tie / awing combo coming soon.

uaford Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 I am not usually a complainer, but this set is a huge disappointment. Could have been an amazing set if they had put the time in to make it look anything like the source material, especially if they added a couple hundred pieces. So disappointed that this is what was produced...opportunity missed by Lego. I'll be buying it for $35 on clearance at Walmart in 12 months bc my kids want the minifigures. They haven't missed a Rebels episode and they didn't even recognize the ship... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did see it at TRU. The other interesting thing is that on LEGO Shop at Home, it is in the "Online Only" category along with some other sets. For example, Rha's al Ghul and Doctor Strange and the Tanker Truck Takedown. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
