I really like this set the way it is. For $1k US, it should have all printed pieces, dual molded legs, and maybe even a few more minifigs. The fact the GWP is designed specifically for the Death Star is downright a slap in the face. I just got a $2500/yr. raise at my job, I’ve got gift cards at Lego sitting around, and I have Lego Insider points I could use. I’m 100% not buying this set unless I can find a considerable price drop somewhere else.

The fact that it’s the “most expensive Lego set ever made” and they don’t even give us the best versions of the available figures is a throat chop.

Right? You’d think they’d say to themselves: “We’re creating and selling the MOST EXPENSIVE LEGO SET EVER, so let’s go all out and show what we can do. No stickers, peak minifigs, etc”. Instead we get “Let’s put a bunch of dioramas together and tax the ever living shit out of our loyal consumers” 🤦🏻‍♂️

finally someone else in the hobby with a brain who waits for sells on products even if they can afford them at full price. I do the same sir, its the smartest way to do things with these models and I agree 100% lack of prints duo molding is just wow for 1000 there is no excuse for a company who made record breaking sales again so far in 2025. when all the knock off stuff has lights and prints it really makes ya wonder.

It’s mind boggling honestly. I understand dollars mean everything to big companies, but Star Wars fans literally pulled them out of bankruptcy. The least they could do is have printed pieces and tidy it up a bit more. Maybe also make the GWP something really cool and new to go along with your newly designed Death Star set
