Clearly the worst set is the current UCS Millennium Falcon because I DON'T HAVE ONE YET! Just kidding people. Most of these aren’t that bad, considering Lego has been making hundreds of sets every year, and early on the standard of the sets was very low compared to now. Certain memorable vehicles would be decidedly unsuitable for minifigure-scale renditions, based upon their incredible size. Nevertheless, we can establish how large they would need to be, for accurate scaling beside minifigures! Venator-class Star Destroyer The fact it is 'unfinished' (matter of perspective) I think is awesome, and would be weird if it were complete, given the scene it is depicting. Yeah, I can’t find actual dimensions, but it looks like the Skystriker was under 2’ long. At exactly 2’ it would represent a plane that’s 38’4” long compared to the action figures. The real F-14 is just barely narrower than that with the wings closed, and was nearly 63’ long. I’ve got “Battle of the X-Planes” on DVD. It’s a Nova episode about the real design competition for the Joint Strike Fighter project that produced the F-35. The plane it ended up beating for the contract was the X-32, a dinky little sci-fi styled single-seater plane that’s still 45’ long. So, yeah, the Skystriker would probably be smaller than the P-51 Mustang.

From my personal view the sets that should be on this list are the ones that have completely compromised Lego building and design for the inclusion of desirable mini figures - cad banes speeder and palatines throne room to name a couple.The reason there is a large market of child star wars fans is because there parents are either SW fans themselves, or watched the movies as a child. Furthermore, the interior is very sparsely detailed. Later models have contained a smaller vehicle but this one is almost entirely empty and certain areas of the hull therefore feel flimsy. The minifigures are also relatively unappealing and the absence of any opposing forces is disappointing. The overall shape of the vehicle is reasonably faithful to the source material though and I quite like the idea of opening the model to create a static base. 7144 Slave I

However, I think it would be unfair to ignore sets from the first few years of LEGO Star Wars entirely. Sets should be judged according to the context of their release and in that regard I think certain older models, such as those mentioned in the article, fare comparatively poorly in relation to other sets released in the same year. Also, from a purely practical perspective it would be almost impossible to identify a single year after which we are able to judge sets by modern standards. a UCS set, so Insult on Hoth is an easy “winner” , awful design, over priced, and from my favourite movie I was so disappointed. The first three aren't that bad, given the standards of the time. ULD is meh, but not particularly awful. The Scout Walker isn't great, but it's not awful. I resent the FO scout walker for the sole reason of it never appearing in the movie at all. overall the design is just meh. Includes a Gungan Warrior minifigure with a weapon, plus 2 Pilot Battle Droids and 12 Battle Droid figures with weaponsAs for "accountants had taken over Lego and people only care about making money instead of bringing joy and creativity to children", any company nowadays is about money. Like it or not that's the world we live in. LEGO can't make sets if they don't bring in the money to do so. Star Wars brings in the money, and quite a lot of it.

Scale is tough because you have to consider all 3 dimensions. Using one makes for a good approximation, but the minifigure is disproportionate in width as well. It's why a lot of vehicles look wrong with minifigs and can't accommodate two side-by-side. Assault on Hoth wins this contest for me. There was so much excitement and such promise when we heard TLG was creating a UCS Hoth Base. Then when it came out it was such a disappointment. The set is supposed to be top of the line, and like Rex said, it fails in both concept and execution. Come on, a hodgepodge of smaller sets crammed together to be UCS? Very sad. I did not waste my money on this set. This is absolutely spot on. The perception of minifigure-scale is paramount, regardless of actual accurate scale and particularly when the characters are exposed inside the vehicle.Notes: Proportionally, I think 75021 Republic Gunship is definitely the most accurate, but the 2002 rendition is closest in size. Notes: Three different lengths are commonly provided for the TIE Advanced x1. Detailed fan calculations have established that the length is nearest to the shortest of those canon measurements, which would match the design in 75150 Vader's TIE Advanced vs. A-wing Starfighter.

This was the first set to include Battle Droid minifigures with vertical hands able to hold a standard blaster. The significance of minifigure-scale varies dramatically between subjects. Larger starfighters such as the T-65 X-wing or TIE/sk Striker have achieved near-perfection and that is apparent simply when looking at them, without needing any calculations. Other vehicles deviate slightly from the source material, but are ideally-suited to interaction with minifigures. Star Destroyer and Death Star could have been fun additions just to put their true magnitude in another perspective. Minifig scale Imperial Destroyer would be about 24.4m long based on their purported length of around 1km. " Take Lego Ideas. Look how many great sets have been created since Star Wars was banned from it. And also look at Adventurers, Power Miners, or Classic Space themes (including the recent ones like Galaxy Squad). All these were great ideas that were popular with people of all ages. As mentioned above, ascertaining accurate minifigure-scale is challenging because of their characteristic proportions. Scale ratios of anything between approximately 1:32 and 1:45 are therefore common, reflecting minifigures' width and height, respectively. However, I consider a much simpler method most successful on this occasion.If people think my comments are irrelevant, well look at all those stupid comments on City, Creator and other true Lego themes news "When's the new Star Wars coming out?" "What do you think of the new Star Wars sets?" "Where's Star Wars Rogue 1 being released?" It's very annoying. Notes: Canon sources sometimes give a length of 23.40 metres, but that describes the fully armoured BTL-B Y-wing Starfighter deployed during the Clone Wars, rather than its later stripped-down equivalent.
