Lyichir Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 This is as much as i could make out for luke. pretty simple construction for a 20 dollar set, but well, star wars. http://imgur.com/a/cGUSC I don't think the license has much to do with it. Even without likely unseen parts like back armor, your sketch of the build is comparable to 2015 Tahu in size and complexity. Add in the cost of the head mold (which won't be used again unless Lego produces another Luke in a different costume) and the weapons (including a semi-complex brick-built blaster), and there's not really enough of a discrepancy to justify invoking a hypothetical licensing cost. The question is, is Vader the same price? He stands taller than Luke and has a much more complex build, leading me to think he might be closer to the listed $35 price point (although his cape would allow for cost cutting on aspects like back armor).

Ballom Nom Nom Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Wow, these look really good! Definitely a huge improvement over the Super Hero constraction sets. That new lower leg pieces looks very cool and smooth, and the lightsaber pieces look helpful too. ~B~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
