Would make sense, this is a great $60 set and then add another skiff for an extra $20. Defiantly could've seen it especially because this is accompanying a $500+ set, but no lets just include a $30 skiff and an apparently $50 sarlacc pit.

While it isn't shown as an official play feature, the stands on the Skiff and the exposed studs at the rear of the Sarlacc Pit allow you to perch the Skiff upon the edge of the pit, raising the Skiff to an appropriate height and combining both builds into a single diorama-esque display.

What about the dessert skiff guards? Very inaccurate to not include one…

Honestly I would have preferred if Nien Numb had a regular minifigure head and then a custom molded helmet with ears.

Honestly, you pretty much said all my feelings about this set, I love the builds, the minifigs are solid, but I'm gonna be waiting to buy it until it's at most 60$ on sale

$80 and they can’t even get the Boba correct, or give him the shoulder cap thing

You can combine the clears from the 3 stands to just the one in the middle to raise it higher. It’ll look so much better

The fact that the skiff doesn’t have enough transparent pieces to elevate it over the Sarlacc essentially makes the whole set undisplayable

This is an amazing set! For $50...

Its crazy, we paid an extra £30 for a hill on a salracc PIT build

I’ve got the 2017 and the new 2024 skiff and I gotta say that there is much more space in the new one, before all the figures were packed in but now it looks much better on display

I'm gonna buy an episode 6 boba and get some custom arms for him, switch out the head for the new one, and call it a day

I love the build and the figures (aside from boba), but i ain’t paying $80. I’m waiting till the inevitable sale.

it is also missing at least one of the soldiers who was also on the Skiff and ended in the pit, strange you did not mention this

I feel like this $80 set is the definition of modern Lego Star Wars inflation with many small problems for the set and being overpriced when this is more like $60

I feel the creature needs more movement then what it has

Yeah this set is like the Justified from the 2022 summer wave. Great build, WAY OVERPRICED. Definitely gonna wait for it to go on rollback at Walmart or something

It's a mini fig hat... sensei wu will remember that 😂

ooo this looks cool

Overpriced yes but as an adult that has just started getting into legos, this is on my list to buy. Thank you so much for your reviews. I always wait to buy and see what you say and how you feel about it before making the jump to buy.

For $80 dollars they could have included 3-4 more minifigures Like an update Pagetti Rook or Kithaba, Vedian the skiff pilot, and Velken Tezeri. Note: Pagetti Rook was the Weequay guard released in the 2013 Sail Barge for some reason. Could have included another skiff, I mean there are some lego sets with more pieces for the same price. Lego Star Wars is such a big mess. Edit: Would really love to get a Skiff Guard Battle packs.

Why would the sarlac Pit being so big increase the price THAT drastically? The price is because it includes a lot of Minifigures

Not getting this or Battle on Peridea until they are on sale. Anyone complaining about the price but still buying it at full price is part of the problem.

You're right about the Fett figure. Wild price for the wrong fig!

This is an amazing review

Who else thinks chewie should have some sand details like they did in 2022 with snow details?

It feels like they took something that was supposed to be part of the UCS Sail Barge set, put it aside, and just decided to charge 80 dollars for it.

Really awesome set, maybe they could’ve made up some of that cost by throwing in a couple skiff guards. That’s my biggest complaint that wasn’t mentioned in this video, I kinda wish the set had a couple generic jabba goons to fight instead of JUST boba Fett. Small thing thoufh

Looks like a great set minus the Boba fig. Hopefully LEGO puts it on sale soon.

I am definitely going to add 4 to 5 clear pieces on each support on the bottom to give it a better sitting compared to the sarlacc pit

Thanks for another great video!!

Why is the pit itself for the sarlac like, rectangular or an oval??

Very excited for this set! I recently bought Jedi Boba Fett and the weequay guards from the previous barge and skiff so i can complete the scene!

"You can recreate from the book of boba fett. Well, i guess it's the wrong boba fett minifigure to be recreating it. " Don't worry, that's the Lego standard.

The hat used on the Skiff is Sensei Wu's hat from *_Ninjago_* in dark tan.

The thing I don't understand is that the Boba Fett figure could have just been made a Return of the Jedi one originally. Like the Mech didn't have to be Empire themed and the figure hasn't been used in any other Empire sets. Just make the mech RotJ and then it would have been accurate in both sets. Just seems like really poor planning.

Be funny to switch out Sarlacc with a Mario Piranha Plant!!

It’s going to be amazing paired with Jabba’s sail barge!

MandR Will You Ever Sell A Boba Cape Replacement? There's Not Any Good Alternatives, And I Thought It Would Be A good Thing For Your Store!!!

Take all the clear pieces on the bottom of the skiff and put them together, attach to the pit and you would have the height

Thanks for the review Ryan! Very good set, especially for all us OST fans... AMAZING exclusive minifigure... but TOO EXPENSIVE! Even more in Greece (84.99€)!!! INSANE!!!

Lego has you by the balls on this one , you are a captive audience , most who get the Skiff are getting the Sail barge . Its a complete set 2 months apart . I have been anticipating the Barge since Haslab released their version , as soon as i seen it i thought Lego better get off their rears and give us one too , better late then never . And by judging by the size of the Skiff we know how big the Barge isnt . Top review Ryan .

The scene doesn’t make sense without Weequay. The whole point was that the heroes are outnumbered in this scene… other than fett, makes no sense for Luke to be in danger

8:41 maybe the reason for that bigger clear piece is so you can stack the others on that piece and elevate the skiff. Just my suggestion 🤷‍♂️

The whole jumpsuit is gray so no sand blue blue whatsoever. I would not expect them to put a blue jetpack but the gauntlets on his arms should be dark red and have a red belt. Also saw some people think the cape is the same as the ucs one but in RoTJ he has an olive green one. Last time they made the sarlaac pit set, boba fett had all these things except for arm printing, which was rare back then. Oh well.

I would love the buy this set (Nien Numb being a big draw). I’ve not had a Sarlacc pit or skiff before so there’s that. To be honest, I didn’t even notice or care that Boba Fett was different.

A solid $50 clearance purchase! Great video as always though Ryan! 🙏

Big question for me is if any of these figs come in the sail barge as this will really impact the value of buying both. Agree with all your review thoughts both fair and balanced. Thanks for the review!

Anyone know when this set comes out? Don’t see it at target or anything

I can't wait to get this on bricklink for cheap minus the Nien Numb figure. The same thing happened for the new R2d2 with Malak. You can get the r2d2 for about $35!

The UCS Sale Barge and 25th Anniversary prevented us from getting the best desert skiff and sarlac pit so far. With the pit as a side build, not a quasi-diorama second main build, without the anniversary fig and for half the price.

How hard was it to make the Paldron for boba?

Paused the Garfield movie to watch this lol

Makes me sick that it will cost probably $100 here in Canada. I could never justify that price for so little. Which is sad because my sons(7,4) love the set and will be devastated when we don’t get it. It’s becoming very hard to be a Lego Star Wars fan these days. Love the review Ryan.

I would love to hear how Lego chose the price for this set. Like what specifically in this set made it worth $80 to them?

I just hope that people won't buy the sets that are overpriced with inaccurate figs. I see a lot of reddit posts where people buy things on day one and then complain about the price. Totally valid complaint sometimes, but then don't buy it full price

I'm definitely getting this, but I'll wait for clearence

Its worth 40, 50 the most but 80!? Thats just inflation

amazing job as always Ryan but is the old skiff helmet really better? the printing on the new one is much cleaner and sharper, and with no mistakes

Other issues not mentioned: The ugly 2x4 brick sticking out. Boba Fett's face is his Book of Boba Fett face, with sarlacc scarfs. Boba Fett wasnt on the skiff, he was on the Sail Barge. Pilot is missing. Skiff should be hoovering higher above the pit. Luke Skywalker has hair from Book of Boba Fett / Mandalorian Luke.

At least those can make sense for play to represent him getting out of the pit I guess. Makes me wonder. Did they also use the wrong armor in Book of boba fett's sarlaac pit flashback.

But this one has to be one of the funniest.

Even if the bigger Sarlacc was worth the extra $50 (which it definitely isn’t), it would still be a bad set. The Skiffs used to be one of those cheap little sets that kids could afford. What kid is gonna appreciate the pile of added tan bricks if it means it costs over twice as much as the last one. If the Sarlaac needed to be bigger to coincide with the UCS Sail barge, then they shouldn’t pretend that this is a 9+ set.

Can someone explain further what errors boba has in relation to rotj

These sets are probably so high because of the 25th anniversary figures. Lego know a lot of people want to complete the line up, so they're raising prices ridiculously high because they know the sets will sell
