Battle of the sail barges
Today's post is actually from yesterday's build... continuing the theme of recent posts, I've been back on the 10179 build today (9 more sections done with only 7 elements to go). Another of the recent purchases was the second version of Jabba's sail barge - the 2013 version ( 75020 ). Apart from the fact that the box arrived a little bit damaged and it was missing the usual 2-3 pieces, it was in generally very good nick, apart from being dusty. Once cleaned and rebuild, I'm very happy with the purchase. The build took about 90 mins and was pretty interesting - the symmetric duplication was fully bearable and it therefore felt fresh throughout. The minifigs are also interesting: Leia has unique braided and coloured hair which is actually rubber: There are also unique Max Rebo and Ree-Yees minifigs in the set which my 7yr old niece (who loves her Lego) found really funny (she liked Leia better, though). There's a surprising amount of detail...
