LEGO Star Wars UCS Jabba's Sail Barge REVIEW | Set 75397 

😂 The aurebesh writing inside the jail cell translates to "Han was here"

For this price, the desert skiff and sarlac pit should have been included in the set.

$500 is insane.

Aurebesh translations: - Kitchen 1: Womp rat stew - Kitchen 2: Bantha roast - Prison cell: Han was here - Cockpit: Scanning These were the only ones I found, maybe someone else sees more

For $500, it should have come with one skiff. There were two in the movie. That skiff could have come with lots of Jabba’s goons. That would be a great set.

Reminder - Rivendell has the same price tag with 2000+ more pieces 😅

At the very least, for $500, there should be zero stickers.

Something about these UCS sets having full interiors is just so satisfying.

Ah yes the moment where a Lego ambassador tells us this is a must get set for $500+$80

The fact that a company like cobi can do 100% printed pieces and lego is still using stickers on 500 dollar collector sets at well over 10 cents a piece is ridiculous

500$ and stickers is just nuts its not even close to being justified…

It's easier to talk positively about a $500 set when you got it for free.

Lego needs to stop sending these sets out for free to reviewers, especially when they give a “ value “ review knowing they got it for free to review

Stickers in a $500 set is ridiculous. The Sarlacc pit and skiff should have been included in this set and even then $500 would have been pushing it.

This is essentially a $580 dollar set. So many iconic characters to the scene left out just for Lego to be able to sell them to you for $80. For $500 they could have at the very least included the minifigures that come with the Desert Skiff

$400 would be more reasonable. 500 is insane.

No, I love big Lego sets. And when I have the opportunity, I buy them. But $500 for this??? This is crazy. Lego, it's time for you to think about lowering your prices. Soon there will be no buyers left)

This set should've included a skiff. There are 2 in the ROTJ scene, so having one here and one in the Sarlacc set still works

His girlfriend becoming his fiancee and the UCS Sail barge in about a week. You are living the dream! 😊

The interior and minifigs are very cool looking. But $500 is bit too high of a price point for me.

Remember guys, the ONLY way LEGO will lower prices is if we STOP buying these overpriced sets

Instead of the lightsaber, they could have included a lone skiff gift.

If anything, Lego has convinced me to buy the Mos Eisley Cantina We got every small side build, soooo many figs and the same amount of playability without NEEDING ANOTHER SET

Reminder to anyone who has forgotten or needs to hear this: the Avengers Tower also costs $500, has 5201 pieces, and comes with 30/31 figures. Their quality is debatable, but so is this set's price tag and figure execution. Be mindful of your purchase or if it's fully worth it, because it surely looks to be the opposite

I have over $200 in Lego reward points, and even with the GWP I still can’t bring myself to buy this any time soon. $500 is a crazy price. Thanks for tackling the issue of price in such a critical and honest way. Some reviewers getting this early aren’t always direct about it

I personally think that Lego's pricing is utterly insane and a lot of content creators don't talk about that enough, but as it is a complicated relationship between the company and content creators, I understand why it isn't a major talking point for them. I think the absolute maximum for this set should be $500, but it should come with the sarlaac pit, both Desert Skiffs we see in the movie, 15 more minifigures just to populate the barge, and another 10 or so for the desert skiffs. The Mos Eisley cantina, designed by the same person, is just proof that there was potential for much more. Even with all the figures in areas of build, it feels very scant, when we all know how jam-packed the barge was in the movie. The Avengers tower had a bloody 31 minifigures for that price. For such an insanely high price point, people should be getting more. A lot more.

Star Wars geek here, because Lego likes sneaking in easter eggs- The signs in the kitchen read "Womp Rat Stew" and "Bantha Roast," the prison cell's reads "Han Was Here," and the control panel in the cockpit simply reads "Scanning."

Remember the time when the most expensive LEGO Star Wars set was the Death Star with a bunch of the most minifigures in a set for $369. Man. How times have changed.

$500 dollars and it still includes stickers?!?!

Nice set, which definitely does not fit with the price tag - price cut figure selection (Bib Fortuna head piece, CPO legs etc), low number of minifigures (no Yakface, band members etc) , no side skiff. It does not live up to previous UCS SW sets at all

For 4,000 pieces this is disappointingly small. The Executor from 2011 was 3,000 parts and 4 feet long. This should be bigger.

Congrats on the engagement!

I said this in another video but I started this hobby in 2006 with the original Sail Barge, but I’ll be ending it with this new variant. Lego has become way out of my price range these past few years, and I’ve missed out on a lot of cool sets because of it. Luckily I’ve saved $300 dollars of VIP points so this purchase will be much kinder to me, but I’ve decided that I’m done with this hobby after this until they change their ridiculous price tags

Could have been a perfect set if the Skiff + Sarlac set was included. What a shame.

Lego know what they’re doing with not including: fully printed c3po, another skiff, stickers etc. they just know people are going to buy regardless it’s sad

Gonna pick this and the skiff up at the same time for sure. Ever since the complete saga came out when i was a kid i wanted this set, and now im working i can finally get it. It only took me 15 years 😂

So Lego basically priced in the GWP. It's $250 over priced in Canada which is what th saber will be worth.

Great set, but my only negative comment is that the 3 blocks holding up the barge should have been clear plastic and not black so that it looks more like it’s floating. Other than that - if you’ve got the cash get it!

The jail cell says “HAN WAS HERE” 15:01

Great review. My first reaction was "but it's just brown," then caught myself as a die-hard fan of the "just grey" flying dorito. To each their own, and just makes me wish that the Star Destroyer had gotten more figures too. The interior on this is also awesome

David I remember watching your review of the 06 Barge and Palace sets as legoboy12345678. That was my white whale. i’ve fallen in and out of love with Lego since then, but you’ve been there the whole time.

Looked up some in-universe measurements and I can confirm that this is as close to minifigure scale as possible. It's not perfect, but that's probably because lego minifigure proportions are wacky as is.

In the Batcave set you actually get a whole batmobile that is near identical to the standalone batmobile set. I don't know why they couldn't do the same here with the skiff

No Lego set has ever called her Slave Leia. The figure was ALWAYS called Princess Leia.

It’s a must forget

It’s not a drinking pipe it’s a microphone if you watch that one clip in return of the Jedi, you can see c3po holding it and talking into the PA system on the sale barge

£430 no chance. Wait for Black Friday 2025 / May 4th at Argos, even then I’d be unsure

$500 set requires the highest piece counts and quality. This means this really should include: -x2 desert skiffs -Luke and Boba mini figs -Sarlac pit (larger than the one in the separate set) -no stickers or less than 5 at most -the upmost quality mini figure prints. Meaning full arm and leg prints and iris’ for the characters. Don’t tell me I’m being picky or asking for too much, that’s 500 f*cking dollars for plastic. 500. Don’t tell me what they’re selling for that price is enough.

must be nice to get so many free sets

When I was a kid and I read the Lego Star Wars visual dictionary, the original Jabba's sail barge was my #1 most wanted set. Next year when I graduate and get a full time job, this set, along with the desert skiff, are absolute pickups for me, regardless of how overpriced they may be.

I really hope this undersells so they get the message. Prices are greedy and this is one of the worst examples of SW tax. Not at all worth the 500, it should have been 400 max

500 for less than 4000 pieces when you can get barad dur for 460 with 5400 pieces is absolutely insane.

Was waiting for you to upload this!

Kithaba actually isn't a new character, we got him before in the 2012 desert skiff, that was one of my first lego star wars sets so I recognized him instantly

Ain’t no way this is minifig scale

Appreciate your honesty in your reviews. A lot of streamers just want to suck up to the retail stores to obtain free sets for reviews. It's obvious your viewers come first. Thanks for that!

Beautiful build, but for 500 dollars its out of the question ☠️

You’re a great salesperson for LEGO, I’ll give you that. Really show what parts of this set shine and what could be a little better. You might have convinced me, this is a very cool and fun set.

25th anniversary UCS Jabba Sail Barge? Count me in

gonna be buying this straight away!

I always appreciate your reviews on these sets. Thank you for putting the time into these.

I like the new Leia more. She is not butt naked.

THIS SET IS CRIMINAL! Dudes, just boycott this set. Total ripoff. 1. No silverleg 3PO 2. Reused Bib headmould from BoBF 3. Weird Leia legs because why? Feminism? 4. No extra Desert Skiff to recreate famous Ep6 scene 5. 11 minifigs for 500$ while Most Eisley Cantina had twice as many for 350$. 6. Stickers in an already overpriced af set. The extra 150$ is going straight to someones pocket as a bonus because NO WAY it's license tax, no way the set is actually worth that price and 450$ could've been justified if they simply added another skiff and Luke, Chewbacca, Han Solo, Boba and Lando. LEGO is simply lame and greedy. I'd appreciate if everyone boycotted them for scamming their fans. Maybe MegaConstrux isn't so bad after all...

The only UCS SW set I will ever buy is if they do an updated version of Boba Fett's Slave 1, I just fear the price

literally came across this with the regular old lego SW search. within 30 mins first review i’ve seen yet.

Just when the ever growing list takes a dent. Lego comes round with another eye catching piece that gets added to the list!

Also the fact that they included the wrong C3PO it should had the duel leg version, and they should had pupils for the kwoakian it just looks odd without it.

Just a reminder you can get a old Jabba barge for HALF this price on BL.

Anyone else want to mention the price? Lego know this set will attract a lot of older star wars fans that like me the price is no problem, I think it’s a fantastic set, yes the price is higher then other sets released a year or so ago but a cup of coffee has gone up to so you can’t expect Lego to stay at a normal cost . You could sell the Luke’s light saber buy the desert skiff with your earning from that and get at least $50-$70 back with your sale, it’s a no brainer. P.s if you see someone complain about the price in the comments that doesn’t mean you have to be a parrot. Great review and I appreciate your work.

$500, with such poor quality mini figures is insulting.

Wow that size comparison with the old one is wild!

Yeah, its a great set that costs too much. I sound like a broken record lol. Congratulations on the engagement ;)

Hi David! First off, congrats on the engagement! My girlfriend and I have been watching your channel for the last 3 years and we absolutely love it. So happy to see you and your now-fiancé taking the next step! Now to the review: Yes I agree that $500 is a lot for this set. But I do love the details, the inclusion of so many minifigs, and the interior playability. You’re right, it’s a lot like the Razor Crest in that aspect. I think for this set, it should realistically be around $400. And I agree with you on having the Desert Skiff set be separate, it’s always good to give people options. For me, being a hardcore LEGO fan, and more specifically, a LEGO Star Wars fan, this’ll be a day-one buy for me. Especially with the GWP, which, I’m actually excited for. I missed out on the previous Yoda’s Lightsaber and Luke/Anakin’s Lightsaber sets. I held off on the August wave, knowing that I’d be getting ready for the UCS Sail Barge’s release this fall. Super excited to build this!! 😁

Better set than I thought it would be. Congrats on the proposal btw

I can see those in living rooms! Love!

The comparison to the 2013 sail barge is insane 😂

The set price is one of the reasons why I dont buy lego star wars sets. You get so much more value out of literally every other lego theme.

That little jabba picture of himself in the palace 13:03 could be a possible future set there teasing, like a small overpriced throne room diorama, could totally see them making if this set sells well

The writing in the jail says: Han Was Here

The pants on Slave Leia are kinda funny 🤣🤣🤣

Omg I just need this so bad, the cantina is going to look amazing with this one

For this price we should have got an accurate Bib Fortuna with the skiff set

You and Mandrproductions are so good at legos review , very different types and styles of reviews and come from different point of views.

I truly think if this set was $50-100 cheaper, included the best C-3PO, and had a new skinnier mold for Bib Fortuna’s head tails, it would be a perfect UCS set. It’s SO CLOSE it’s such a great set! It’s just sadly missing those small things and is just too expensive.

It’s insane that a Bantha wasn’t included 🤣

There are two things about this 1. The set looks really good 2. But 500$ is insane

I’m praying that Lego releases jabba in a much more affordable set we need a jabbas palace remake!

I might wait for when they eventually do Jabba's Palace

Jabba looks like he's 7/8's in the Bag with the Eye printing.

For 500 dollars you can get this, OR you could get the avengers tower, i know what im choosing

I wonder if someone will make an aftermarket leg piece for slave Leia. I think there could be some interest in that as long as the printing matches up.

Okay I’m going to be honest sure it stinks we aren’t getting a desert skiff and sarlac with the set, but what I’m most upset about is how lazy some of the minifigures were. We should have gotten dual molded legs for C-3PO and the correct head mold for Bib Fortuna.

Selling this for $500 deserves a boycott.

$400 max. $480 package deal with the skiff.

For Leia, the dual molding is not a terrible Idea just so that the cloth also covers the back of the legs since that level of accuracy has always been missing because LEGO never prints the backs of legs, but there probably should have been a flesh tone print on the sides of the legs because now that particular aspect of accuracy is missing. If that didn't look good, then the tried and true method of having flesh legs with a print on the front should have been there from the start since it's never failed before.

Great review. Nice shots too with the other sets. Definitely day 1 purchase for me with the GWP

I've saved up Lego points and I'll be getting mine for around $200. I've been saving them just for this set. It's going to look amazing with in my collection.

Honestly this should have had as many minifigs as the Cantina. Which we all should consider the minimum bar for UCS and MBS sets.

As many before me said, the sarlic pit should have been included. If not, at least one ship should have been included because there are 2 in this scene in the movie. But then, they should have lowered the price anyway to 400. The lightsaber isnt worth anything. You can easily "bricklink" it without any problems. It's a very bad "gift" with which they try to somehow justify their price.

I think $400 is a much better price. Maybe $500 if it came with the Skiff and Sarlacc pit and a couple more figures.
