Collecting Star Wars Lego. Is it for kids or for serious collectors? 7754 Home One Calamari Star Cruiser

With a society of both Star Wars and LEGO fanatics, it is no surprise that the 1999 launch to Star Wars Lego sets has become a popular choice in builders and collectors.  With well over 300 sets hitting the market in the last 20 years, some mini figures and scene sets have become more popular than others.  While several of the sets have been phased out from the earlier episodes, their loyal following and high demand have made them rare and desired.  Rare Star Wars Lego minifigure people have become valuable and been put on display in various collector's homes and museums.  

The Lego toys are not always designed for play or for children even though my son really loved this set when we bought it years ago.  These rare sets are a collector's dream and they would cringe at the thought of them being played with or destructed.  The Star Wars Lego 7754 Home One Calamari Star Cruiser is one of the sets one serious collectors wish lists, featuring not one but six never seen (when the lego set was release that is) minifigures.

This replica is inspired by the Episode VI: Return of the Jedi scene where the Home One Rebel flagship is shown with Admiral Ackbar.  With several pieces and accessories including a briefing room and a hologram, this detailed collectible is high in demand.
The minifigures were introduced to this scene, and never before introduced to the market.  They include: Admiral Ackbar, Mon Monthma, Crix Madine, Mon Calamari officer, a Green Squadron Wing Pilot and the great Landro Calrissian.  With the legendary limited edition hologram sticker, it is understandable why this set has become so popular and difficult to get your hands on.

What do you think makes a Star Wars Lego set collectible? Not all are really but some you see and just know that "I have to have it!"

Lego Star Wars 6210 Jabba’s Sail Barge Collectable Review

The Lego Star Wars 6210 Jabba’s Sail Barge is a set based from the Return of the Jedi movie. The Khetanna was the large sail barge owned by crime baddie Jabba the Hutt.

We bought this set a while back, I think about 2007, at a department store and what a great set it is. This was a set that my young son instantly fell in love with and so did I – straight away I thought of the great scene in the movie where Jabba the Hutt gave the orders to have Luke Skywalker thrown into the Pit of Carkoon. Apart from the great Sail Barge it has a very good Desert Skiff vehicle and a cool Sarlac Pit to complete the look plus a large number of Lego minifigures.

The set has 781 pieces and a great lot of 8 Lego minifigures. I will start with the minifigures – you get Jabba the Hut, R2-D2 as a butler, the classic Boba Fett (no arm or leg printing like the Cloud City version), Han Solo, Princess Leia in the metal bikini (she has a stud on the back to attach the chain that Jabba has to stop her escaping from him), a typical Gamorrean Guard, Lando Calrissian wearing his undercover guard outfit and Luke Skywalker as a Jedi all in black.

One thing you will notice with Jabba’s Sail Barge is that there is a lot of brown Lego bricks (I remember calling them blocks when I was young) but that doesn’t detract from the look, it makes it more realistic to the Star Wars movie, it is meant to be timber remember. It is a big Lego set without the big price tag of some of the larger sets. You can also make two other models with the parts – turns it into more of movie scene.

The Desert Skiff is simple to build looks good with the plank out ready for prisoners to be dropped into the Sarlac. You have a good number of minifigs needed to make some good fun acting out scenes from the Return of the Jedi movie.

The Sarlac Pit does look pretty good although, maybe, a little bigger. The mouth does look a bit like the mouth of the Sarlac, full of teeth and designed so a minifig can fit in. Maybe a couple of its tentacles would have been nice.

This Star Wars Lego set is fun to play with but you do need to be careful with the sails – they come off just a bit too easy. The windows open up to give you little peeks inside just like in the movie but the big door sides that open are great letting you see and play with all the bits inside the Star Wars Jabbas Sail Barge. There is plenty of space inside to have Jabba and Leia Lego minifigures along with other bits and pieces like the spider and guns and a cool R2D2 minifig running around serving drinks.

Star Wars Lego 7754 Home One Mon Calamari Star Cruiser

I saw this great Star Wars Lego set a little while back and it is a beauty. The Star Wars Lego 7754 Home One Mon Calamari Star Cruiser is a big Lego set that has got a part scene from the Home One Rebel flagship of Admiral Ackbar's (this was in Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi). It has the command centre and a briefing room and also a cool Death Star hologram brick. Plus it has a cool hangar with a Green Squadron A-wing starfighter.

It has 6 rare Lego Star Wars minifigures - that is right, none of these minifigures have appeared in a Star Wars Lego set before. You get Admiral Ackbar, Mon Mothma, Crix Madine, Mon Calamari Officer, a new Lando Calrissian plus a Green-Squadron A-Wing pilot. It has a Limited Edition sticker so maybe it is a hard to get lego set, I don't know though.
Anyway my son loves at and I think it is great just because it is not another star ship.
