LEGO Star Wars: A New Hope Mos Eisley Cantina 75290 Building Set, Master Builder Series, Model Kits for Adults to Build, Collectible Gift Idea

I'm on the fence on this set still , even as I stare at it . I simply like big builds hence the purchase , not heavy into Star Wars or collecting figures so hopefully my review will be non biased I think overall it's a very nice build , the scale is not too bad , thought was looking small till I built the side buildings, then it seemed to round the whole thing off nicely. Some lovely details and yes I suppose a lot of figures . Would of preferred more printed bricks for the price tag , but it was not a major issue . This is a nice sized set to look at , and playability wise there is lots there . Price I think maybe is about right as it's a good sized set . If your Star Wars mad it's a must as anything from the original three films have that nostalgic feel . I would recommend this overall , price, size, good building techniques and fun ... and if you that way inclined mini figure heaven . Yes the force is good with this one, looks like I'm off that fence now then ....

This was definitely a lockdown purchase that combined the fun of an intricate puzzle and my obvious love of Star Wars. Yes, price is high but once you finish the set you end up with a beautiful mini town that captures the movie feel better that any other toys. So here are the + and - : The design is genius as the bar completely opens and offers fun elements like the back door, Greedo & Solo “got shot” seats, the removable roofs. The figurines are gorgeous, exciting and replicate to perfection the Cantina atmosphere (although I would have loved one of the cosmonauts included as they are very weird and unique to the Cantina and maybe another R2 unit for the outside part) I disagree with some reviews saying the outside part and other buildings are disappointing. Once you completely open the bar, the back walls are very detailed and fun, with a “junkyard” effect plus that secret door. The extra buildings are different so they give a sense of variety and textures. But the BIG plus for me are those familiar mini towers that you can move around. They are so accurate and immediately enhance the Mos Eisley buildings. The 2 vehicules are very cool particularly if you add Luke's Landspeeder. You can also complete the set with Obi Wan's hut and get some extra Jawas & Tusken Raiders for a complete Tatooine experience. Some small critics though : LEGO needs to built movable legs for the short characters and I wish Chewbacca was toller also, ultimately I think they should offer 3 different lengths of movable legs. Also the drinks/ bottles design could have been a bit more creative. Final comment from someone who used to play LEGOs in the 80s : I used to love the LEGO floors, those big squares that would replicate the moon surface or the desert with their little dunes. They were so great to built sets and immediately create a landscape. Wish they would be back!

This purchase started with a simple search for a set with C3PO (I had 5 R2D2's but no annoying gold humanoids fluent in... you know). Could have chosen cheaper sets but fell in love with this one on sight. When it arrived I got so excited about most of the 21 characters. More about that later. The build was so fun, with tiny details like creating the imperfections in the walls, the seats that Han and Greedo use actually 'pop' up to make the freshly-lazered Greedo slump forward! The amazing unseen extra parts added by Lego with Disney/Lucasfilm blessings (i.e. the back-bar). I must have watched the 10-ish minute scene 100 times while making this model. I have to fight my children to stop playing with it, they can't pronounce most of the names (not can I) so their fave characters are bum-face, wonky-head, and long-nose-guy! The facts that come in the booklet are great as well. Apparently 47 characters in the actual scene, I'm happy with 21 of them, but wouldn't mind swapping R2D2 (yet another one) for the badger-sloth guy in the film! Love this set!

There is so much to love about this wretched hive of scum and villainy. 1) There are a huge number of minifigs which let you create all the classic scenes (and lots of originals) 2) There are tonnes of tiny details, tucked away to create both a wonderful display and an interesting build experience. 3) It's super modular and opens up for some great play sessions for the kids. Really, highly recommended.

Overall I love it, from the amount of minifigures to the little detail in each of the booths, I did combine this with the old cantina set I have. So added some personal touches to it and added a few more minifigures from other sets. If you're a Star Wars fan like myself you won't be disappointed.

I highly recommend this product amazing size for display and the amount of figures really completes this set absolutely love Star Wars Lego it's the best

Got this for myself to do different Lego Minifigures set ups on my desk for fun and find myself always wanted to make different set ups and not ashamed to say as an adult haha, that yes, I wanna be a kid again and play with my Lego haha

This is the most expensive set we got for the family. It wasn't an easy decision but no regrets. The set was fun to build and lots to build. Myself, my son 7yrs and daughter 10yrs were able to choose parts of the set to build. 21 minifigures was the biggest attraction, some very unique ones. The set is solid, makes a great display set and very playable without the annoyance of it falling apart. Easy to move when in play mode. Together with Obi Wan's Hut and Luke's Landspeeder we have a mini Tatooine in the making. Great for nerdy dads and frustration free playability for kids.

I absolutely love this whole set... It worths every dollar I spent. I love all the details and how much resemblance to the movie.

I managed to finally get my hands on this set around 2 days ago and just finished building it but I noticed a few missing pieces NO.1 in either bag 2 or 3 I was missing a silver funnel for the cantina bar, NO.2, there is 2 for bag 18 I was missing a long 2/6 brick for the top of the JAWA hut and a 1/2 brick but I got another brick that is not in the parts list located at the back of the instructions book as can be seen in the photo
