Carinissimo, simpatico, fedele all’immagine riportata sulla scatola. Il mio bambino di 7 anni che lo aveva chiesto per il compleanno lo ha montato da solo o comunque con pochissimo aiuto. Ne stato entusiasta e adesso fa bella mostra di s in cameretta.

Wirklich sehr gnstig und klasse Set.
Sehr gut verpackt .
Immer gerne wieder.

Needed 2 hinges either side to make both side pieces more sturdy

Good difficulty to build and good set of Star Wars figures to add to any Lego collection.

This set is Lego’s latest addition to the Boba Fett range released to coincide with the Disney Plus series. My Tatooine collection is embarrassingly large and this set was to be the final piece. Two sets later and it’s clear that I have a real problem.

Build time is 3-5 hours depending on urgency and brick knowledge. The set comes with SEVEN minifigures, a word capitalised as this is generous for the size and price of the set. I won’t name all seven as life’s too short, but at the risk of exposing holes in my Star Wars knowledge you get Boba Fett, Fennec Shand, Bib Fortuna and one of the green axe wielding rhino-like guards. The build is solid and playability will appeal to the younger fans. The more mature fans may take issue with a few things

Here we must look into the etymology and the change in design is clear to see. Previously this building set was ‘Jabba’s Palace’ (9516) a 717 piece set that included a prominent two story tower and larger round throne room with detachable roof, accurate to the Return of Jedi set and fit for a ruler. Lego have been careful to manage expectations here by using the name ‘Throne Room’ as although this newer set weighs in at a heavier 732 pieces, the focus is now on playability as opposed to size and accuracy. There is no circular roof, the tower is but a large chimney and the set instead opens to include a bar and a cooking area behind the main throne room as well as an ejectable throne amongst other gimmicks.

At this point you may detect cynicism and disappointment in my tone. I’ve not hidden it well. I am a little saddened by sacrificing the accuracy of the building in favour of playability. There will be those that will appreciate the extra playability and they’re entitled to their opinion. But they’re also wrong.

Overall a solid set and worth the price and a place in your collection. But maybe Lego deviated a little too far from Jabba’s Palace for fans of the original trilogy.
