The designers employ a number of techniques and ideas to achieve that, and for the most part it works, even if not as fairly as their care would deserve. That it’s all in one colour and at such a scale presents a challenge to allow for enough of the detail to still shine through, across what could otherwise be a haze of tan. Indeed, scale is quite obviously this set’s key selling point, and everything within the model is allowed to breathe as a result, from the amount of detail included, to the number of minifigures you can fit into any hideaway.Īdditionally, building in predominantly one colour of LEGO can at times be deceptive, and that’s certainly case with 75290 Mos Eisley Cantina, for how detailed and involved the construction process for the set is. Importantly, though, such previously trodden aspects – the bar, the seating, the entrance – are generally scaled up in such a way that there’s little to complain about, get bored by, and even less to fairly compare with what came before. Wars: A New Hope or that you may care to notice when rewatching it now, thereĪre design points large and small that have been so wonderfully captured acrossĪs mentioned at the start, this isn’t the first time Mos Eisley Cantina has been built as a LEGO set, so there are moments within the construction process of 75290 that do feel familiar.

Sized sets as these in the Master Builder Series allow for, LEGO designers clearly With the extensive piece counts and higher budget that such On all the areas that otherwise make such a larger set so great. Model that extra level of interactivity and practicality, without compromising It’s a smart and relatively simple solution that gives the That particular frustration with 75222 Betrayal at Cloud City has clearly been taken on board in the concept and realisation of 75290 Mos Eisley Cantina, as for this large location build you put together – for the centrepiece – a shell-like model that when closed up takes up a slightly more reasonable footprint, and just as crucially through its ability to open up wide still offers that same level of large-scale immersive display and play. A fantastic play and display creation, the huge dish-like build that it is has proven as impractical for display as the twice-as-priced UCS 75192 Millennium Falcon, perhaps more so, as at least the Falcon could be displayed on its side with a third-party stand. The previous Master Builder Series set, 75222 Betrayal at Cloud City, was an equally large LEGO creation, but faltered in the more practical terms of its size and shape.
All in all it looks pretty good and I’ll say most fans will buy this playset because it offers so much more than previous years.Theme: LEGO Star Wars Set name: 75290 MosĮisley Cantina Release: Sep 16 (VIP)/Oct 1 I thought a Ronto would be included considering they did include a Jawa, rather than just another Dewback. It’s a shame a Bantha didn’t make it but then again Tusken Raiders don’t appear in Mos Eisley.
I’m very happy they included a new Ubrikkian 9000 Z001 Pod and V-35 Landspeeder rather than yet another X-34 Landspeeder.

I’m sure fans will be happy with all the booths and a full bar. Well LEGO did say it would be a Mos Eisley Cantina and they did fulfil on the promise. Considering there is Kabe, Labria and Hrchek Kal Fas or Elis Helrot? Why not include alien creatures such as Arleil Schous, Feltipern Trevagg, Hem Dazon, Muftak, Nabrun Leids, Takeel & Zutton? What I don’t understand is including Garindan but not the escape scene? Also, there are some smaller buildings but not sure of the significance other than padding out the brick count. I’m sure fans appreciate the number of minifigures but there should have been more iconic characters. Then they could have named it the LEGO Mos Eisley Spaceport.
I know licensing costs a lot but they could have added more including Docking Bay 94 and a scaled down Millennium Falcon with 2000+ more bricks. So this seems a little underwhelming considering Harry Potter fans receive 5000+ bricks and Star Wars fans only get 3000+ bricks for the same price.
