You didnt like the Death Star?

I've always had issues with scale in Lego Star Wars, and the death star sets never fitted remotely with the scale of anything. I particularly disliked the one with all the little scenes inside, because that was just completely out of scale. I don't like sets where the minifigs are out of scale with the set.

The UCS Death Star II was only meant to be in scale with itself. It even included a tiny Star Destroyer for reference.

 

The other one wasn't meant to be in scale with anything. It was a diorama of Death Star scenes.

 

But still, good list.

I liked the one with the scenes, for the simple reason that almost none of those scenes would work as standalone sets. The trash compactor, for instance.

 

I just wish Lego could repeat that with other complex setpieces, like Cloud City (which could desperately use an update) or Naboo Palace (which has never been represented in any form besides some props which came with one of the Naboo Starfighter sets).

 

Also, I'm a little disappointed that this list omits the excellent Anakin and Sebulba's Podracers from last year. It's been on my wishlist for a while now, since it so perfectly updated a classic set I owned.

Im like that a little with Bionicle.

You mean the play sets? Other than those, scale has been very good in Bionicle, although there is a lot of storyline scale stuff, which his been painted over a bit...
