LEGO Star Wars The Dark Falcon official pics, prices & my thoughts | Not dark enough? 75389 

it also works well with one saber blade and an Uruk hai sword. Or two knives in it makes almost a makeshift wolverine claw. Well maybe a predator claw

I never had any lightsaber hilts as a kid so binoculars had to suffice

they did that for ezra with the rebels sets

Cut the bino in half with an exacto and you can put it into the hilt for splitable double blades :)

Star Wars tax man! 😂

Hold tight, because inflation doesn't go backwards!

well 180 euro is 190 dollar, so we also pay more then US retail price, yet we here have VAT included, the Americans have no tax included as far as I know

@@OlafvanEss I mean we have sales tax unless you live in one of the few states that don't have it

@@OlafvanEss Americans also don't have universal healthcare or an education system...

I've never gotten one and I'm seriously considering this one.

Since 2011's Original Trilogy version we have had 2015's The Force Awakens, 2018's Solo and 2019's one and now this one. This easily stands out as one of the better ones apart from the price of course over the last decade of play scale Falcon sets.

Every of lego falcon is so expensive, i can't afford either one🫠

Thank you for that nightmare fuel. :D

That would look incredibly unsettling in the best way possible

Too tall, probably. He's not *that* tall in the movies.

But the Vader is a different color!

Especially if you own the original. I'm not sure kids would want this over that one either.

It's a cool set but I'm willing to wait because it's just a bit too steep at £160.

It’s still a much better deal than the Legend of Zelda set is

B-b-but… darth jarjar!

Nah totally agreed. R Vader could be great with some helmet coloring at least.

Yeah, cause they knew we’d buy them anyways. But it is pretty crazy that they put more effort into a C-3PO and a brand new character than they did on some of the most anticipated figures of all time.

They really should have given Vader blue eyes

At least the Vader has arm printings, but man is Jar Jar basic

That paint roller looks to me like a recolor - either white or (fingers totally crossed here) Very Light Bluish Gray!

I totally had the idea to mod it that way, too! It shouldn't be too hard, just mirror the instructions (though one might need to get opposing wedges if they're used in that part of the build).

Heck, all of this talk about a Captain Rex Minifigure that once showed up in a $650 set now showing up in a $13 set has made me realize how much I miss the Buildable Action Figure genre, whether it be _Bionicle,_ _Hero Factory,_ or even _Legends of Chima._ LEGO Sets are meant to be building toys. The Minifigure is meant to be a simple design with a shared head, torso, and leg mold so they are easy to produce, and allow the focus to be more on the build. It's why the whole blind-package approach to the _Collectible Minifigure Series_ even exists; it helps offset the cost of producing these Minifigures that come with no builds, and prevent people from hoarding or shelf-warming specific Minifigures. Part of the reason why LEGO _VIDIYO_ and McFarlane Toys' _Five Nights at Freddy's_ Construction Sets had failed; there was a lack of emphasis on building. LEGO _VIDIYO_ only had five substantial building sets, the line was too focused on leading with the Minifigures for the digital play gimmick. Meanwhile, McFarlane Toys' _FNAF_ Construction Sets didn't have a lot of substantial set-piece builds, instead focusing on boxes with a singular figure and a small build. It's why I miss Buildable Action Lines like _Bionicle_ and _Hero Factory._ The sets truly involve building a figure to one's liking. All on a level of customization that can be far deeper than one can achieve through Minifigures with shared molds and different printing. And these brick-built ones that we are getting for the Superhero lines these days just don't cut it for me.

They've never printed on the black vader helmet

No its the design. I definitely think it is too noisy and should have a cleaner black and red look to it.

More black pieces, less gray.

Lol no kidding and considering the only real draw IS the minifigs with this set it should go for 40-50% off at that point.

@@The123tactics what's that?

In the comic his visor has pale blue lenses, not opaque white. Black Series got it right...

@@JANGBRiCKS Just dug up my old copy of the comic and then checked my totally legitimately obtained digital version and you're right they are a very pale blue. Given how white the rest of him is, I guess I've always just remembered him as all white
