Lego Star Wars 6210 Jabba's Sail Barge

Product Information

The plastic sails look nice to me in these pictures, but then again it's hard to tell in pictures what a difference a little more reflectiveness would add. Perhaps if I were to turn it around in my hand I'd find them to have a distracting glare; I can't say for sure. But in general, it's LEGO. The whole thing is plastic; I don't think it should hurt it much if the sails are as well. with its mint green, puny looking stabiliser surrounds, yellow stabilisers, 'hidden' gun doors that are clearly visible, lazy, one-piece guns, printed Han-in-Carbonite and bright green, squashed looking Boba, beats 8097 where all those things have been improved?

In recent years, LEGO seems to have produced far more Prequel Trilogy sets than Original Trilogy models, and this wave is an excellent example of this continuing trend. 75020 Jabba's Sail Barge is the only set from the Summer 2013 selection which is from the Original Trilogy, and I am quite pleased with it overall. Six Minifigures are included in this set, four of which are brand new. I will begin with one of the characters we have seen before, the infamous crime lord Jabba the Hutt, who is central to this set of course. An identical figure appeared in 9516 Jabba's Palace last year which is perfect as far as I am concerned. Jabba is made up of three parts, his printed head, a blue Technic pin and the body and tail section, thus allowing him to twist at this joint. His arms too are poseable, and can hold items in just the same manner as any other Minifigure would.Could nostalgia be a large factor in this, giving some people rose-tinted specs for their favourite old sets? That being said, the LEGO Group has been leaning into more adult-focused kits more and more over the years, and the information from the survey just shows that they’re more eager than ever to dive further into capitalize on that market. We’ll likely be seeing some of these models launch throughout 2023, as well as some in the first half of 2024. I can see that some would prefer 6210 even if I can't quite see it myself, but to say 6210 is superior in every way seems crazy to me. I thought the FBTB review suffered the same way, and the proof to my mind was where Slave I was cited as an example of another set where the older version was better. I found construction of this set very entertaining indeed. It takes about two hours at a leisurely pace and features some interesting building techniques, including a combination of slopes and plates to form the nose as well as plenty of SNOT construction used to form the armour plating for the entire vehicle. I also noted that the flooring towards the rear of the Sail Barge is created using tessellating 3 x 6 wedge plates which might be new to some people. Lastly, the use of skeleton legs to support the railing around the front of the barge is ingenious, despite not being a new technique. It will be new to some people, and it achieves a very pleasing appearance in my opinion so is a technique well worth noting. The Completed Model The Legend of Zelda and The Lord of the Rings are two perfect examples, as both are highly-requested properties to see some massive creations from. The others, like the X-Mansion and Jabba’s Sail Barge are kits that could exist in the proper lineup, but that we should still remain skeptical of. At least for the time being.

There’s a lot to break down about this leak. First and foremost, today’s news isn’t a confirmation that any of these sets will see the light of day. It does further corroborate some sets that we’ve been expecting to see, like the 100th anniversary Disney models that will arrive with the Snow White Cottage and Maleficent Dragon. But some of the other creations should be assumed to be theoretical models from the LEGO Group used to gauge interest in themes it isn’t currently releasing sets on. Parts: 4.5 - There is a nice selection of brown and tan parts, as well as the rare blue ice cream and some superb new Minifigure components, so there should be enough to keep one interested in this set for its part-out value. Playability: 5 - The easy access to the interior and numerous play features give this set a high play value in my opinion. All things being equal it just looks old and tired next to the new one, but if that look is what embodies SW Lego to you then my old-and-tired is what you think gives it its charm. You're not wrong, but neither am I!The 9to5Toys reader who reached out to me directly was also able to share more than just information about the sets, as they had a few photos from the survey to send my way. Unlike many of the LEGO leaks that we share here, these images were watermarked from the LEGO Group and so we are unable to share with our readers at this time. Potential upcoming LEGO sets Huttslayer Leia has appeared in LEGO minifigure form three times in the past couple of decades: first in 2003’s 4480 Jabba’s Palace, before the LEGO Group switched from yellow to skin tones for its licensed characters; next in 2006’s 6210 Jabba’s Sail Barge, now with more accurate skin tones; and most recently (and most authentically) in 2013’s 75020 Jabba’s Sail Barge. bdproduct search=’star+wars’ sort=’discount’ numberOfRecord=’3′ brand=” sliderMinValues=’0′ sliderMaxValues=’750′]

But if you are unbiased (and I should add that being biased is no bad thing here; it's a brilliant part of your AFOL story!) then you'll judge each one on its merits and most likely marginally side with the new one. While the actual model is excellent in my opinion, it could be a little bigger, and the price is too high for what is included. The Minifigure selection is superb, and although they may not be universally popular as some are fairly obscure, they all look fantastic and are suitably accurate to the movie. Building Experience: 4.5 - There are plenty of interesting techniques used here and I enjoyed how the set is constructed in modular sections.Includes Jabba the Hutt, R2-D2 and 4 minifigures with weapons: Princess Leia in slave outfit, Max Rebo, Weequay and Ree-Yees

In additions to the ten creations above, there are also mentions of some Harry Potter sets. But as per usual at 9to5Toys, we do no promote the franchise. What this does and doesn’t mean for the LEGO 2023 slate That means the LEGO Group may at least be similarly able to reintroduce the character to the LEGO Star Wars line-up in 2023. Whether it actually wants to is a different matter entirely. Fisher criticised the outfit again in 2015, telling Rey actress Daisy Ridley: “Don’t be a slave like I was… You keep fighting against that slave outfit,” although she told The Wall Street Journal that same year that controversy around the costume was ‘stupid’. Now we can get on to the heroes of the set, the first of which is Princess Leia in her slave attire. This is perhaps the Minifigure which was most anticipated from this set, as without this particular character, the scenes involving Jabba the Hutt in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi are not complete. Princess Leia has appeared twice before in this outfit, firstly in the traditional yellow in 4480 Jabba's Palace and then later in 6210 Jabba's Sail Barge where the only major change was the colour of her skin from yellow to flesh. This is the first time therefore that this character has received a major overhaul, and this newest edition is simply outstanding. Next we have the first ever Gran Minifigure produced by LEGO, the criminal Ree-Yees. This is an obscure character, notable only for having a hand deformity. Getting a head piece for the three-eyed Gran is a treat, as these aliens are commonly seen throughout the Star Wars galaxy, and therefore they will fit into just about any Star Wars MOC much like the Weequay Skiff Guard. The head mould is highly detailed and looks fantastic. It is cast in a rubbery tan plastic, with printed eyes and lots of moulded details, including ears, nostrils and even the tiny antennae which are just about visible on the top of the head.Only if 6209 was the set that brought you out of your dark ages and embodies adult Star Wars Lego in your mind, surely. And in that case no other version of Slave I could ever be better anyway.
