First, nobody's opinion is invalid so can we just leave the way people feel about it out of the conversation? I've said this in the past, it's not a difficult rule to follow really... Someone doesn't like it? Fine... State why you do or don't, but lay off the "Some people just like to complain" remarks because they're not appreciated on this board. Enjoy the toy if you want, and don't enjoy it if you don't... Everyone has valid reasons for both points of view.
Agreed. Offering an opinion on someone else's opinion strays off topic and it's not conducive to an honest discussion about the actual product.
Second... I'm in the camp that does NOT like this... Not for $50. $30, maybe... I dig the womprat, the paintjob is nice and spiffs it up a bit, but the figures are a detraction from the set to me and have to be factored into the overall "value" here.
I agree here to an extent. I think the idea is good. The dome from the Homestead is one of those images that brings you back to ANH. And seeing that in plastic form is cool. And a womp rat too? Very cool indeed!
But there are some definite negatives to go along with the positives. The price is prohibitive. Especially because I think the dome itself isn't much better as a set piece than the POTF2 Endor bunker or Hoth playsets. And both of those sold at a $19.99 price point.
Certainly you also need to factor in the figures as well, but those aren't impressive. We're getting 2 POTF2 repacks (which look very dated) and a TSC Sandtrooper plus the new Womprat as well as the moisture vaporator. But even if you price the figures at $5 each, the pack should only cost about $40 at the most. I feel like those of us who would really like the dome are getting squeezed a bit.
