Wonder how many people will get the reference!

Anyway I quite like the design of the ship myself.

That was pretty much my point that that very short article is pretty much everything you can find about the series and it tells you pretty much nothing.

I saw this for sale at Target several days ago. No, it wasn't street dated, but it wasn't selling either as many of the other new August 1 Star Wars sets were already sold or had just one remaining. Either people didn't realize it was new, wasn't sure what it was exactly, or they just have no interest in it.

I think it looks really neat. I'm hoping those engines pivot together via a mechanism of some sort.

Skeleton Crew has no trailer, Disney must be very worried about the series if even the Acolyte had a lot of trailers.

"Nice, another big overpriced set to be a shelf warmer like the Justifier."

This doesn't look nearly as overpriced or unexpected as the Justifier. The ppp is pretty good and it's the hero ship from the show.

Looks really ugly and messy to look at. I won't be getting it.

Looks that it might have space inside.

If it's on sale at a discount, and I have nothing else to buy from the Lego Horde, then perhaps I shall consider it.

*spoiler*
I won't get it.

We don't even have a FREAKING TRAILER for the show yet! The model looks fantastic, but literally nobody cares and nobody will care until we get at least SOME little morsel of information about Skeleton Crew.

Also, that cyborg girl looks nothing like a Christian rapper

Okay but to be 100% honest the leaked box art gives me Stranger Things vibes

No one outside the UK I imagine. I was hoping one of the characters in the show would be called Jamie.

Jamie and the magic torch, which leads into Cuckoo Land.

I have no idea what this thing is so it just looks like a mess of parts to me.

Is the elephant species the same species as ketwol (a mos eisley cantina visitor)?

I think the ship is fine as it is. Looks like a star wars ship.

No, this character is an Ortolan, the same species as Max Rebo. Ketwol is a Pacithhip.

While on the subject of Star Wars species-based pedantry, the white-haired minifigure in this set is intended to be a Miraluka, a species without eyes. LEGO has given her eyes though, for some reason."

Max Rebo had really small black beady eyes didn’t he? I think i don’t like these eyes on this fig then.

That other fig has a second face print with goggles

"Seems odd to me that Lego is selling this ship for a show that isn't out for months, and The Acolyte has come and gone and Lego released nothing for it.
As I was watching The Acolyte, I couldn't help but try to predict future Lego sets, like the Jedi ship, or Qimir's ship. Both were nice designs that would make good sets. Maybe next year? "

Skeleton Crew was heavily delayed. Likely LEGO wanted a set out after the show, but then the show got pushed behind the set.

I bet we see Acolyte sets April 2025.

From what I know, the Miraluka do have eyes, they just cover them for cultural reasons
If a Miraluka is not brought up in the culture, there's no reason for them to cover their eyes.
The show involves a bunch of children & (presumably a father figure) Jude Law (good match on the minifig)

Messy build, but I want the figs.

I think its supposed to be,
It strikes me as a junker ship type thing.
Or a owned by some not so well off civilians that can barely afford to keep the ship flying (think Serenity from Firefly)"

Would love a Firefly set"

As would I, but I'm pretty sure that's an IP that Lego wouldn't do, considering what one of the main Characters (Inara) does for a living, among other things.

Looks like a set from Starfield. I like it!

This is also the first time I've heard of the show. The ship looks pretty nice though.

It looks like a mix between 75284 and 75293, two sets I built then parted out almost right away. I'm not getting that one. The figs look nice though.

Where are you getting the “Christian rapper” part from?

Bro has no music taste

Is Skeleton Crew about a bunch of pretentious trust fund babies turned art thieves?

Because that’s what I see. Would it kill Star Wars to have ships that aren’t gray? That’s the whole reason I bought that Bad Batch shuttle. And I love that set with the E-Wing and that yellow fighter.

Color is awesome.

Good job, KK. Looks like you’ve got yet another winner on your hands.

Want, but have to put in waiting line behind other expensive sets.

There was a trailer at Celebration London last year. Gave off an 80’s Amblin vibe, sort of Flight of the Navigator/Goonies/E.T. in Star Wars not LA or Oregon.
Literally no mention that one of the kids was playing a blue elephant, it was only when I realised everyone else on stage had their face in the trailer that it became clear he’d spent the whole shoot in a mo-cap rig.
Imagine having that agent: “Hey kid you’re going to be in Star Wars…”
“I can’t wait for my friends and family to see me on screen!”
“About that…”

The only thing star wars about this is the number of gray bricks. Easy pass.

"Look, it’s max rebos cousin, who has legs!

Who may also look a little like Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh"

Max Rebo has legs too.

The slightly negative consensus from what I read in the other comments somewhat surprises me. Maybe it's because of the one photo, maybe because of the many unknows about the show. It probably is going to suck like Kenobi, Boba Fett and the Acolyte, but they might surprise me this time.

I've seen the review of this set weeks ago and I like it! A real playset, for Star Wars! A tad expensive, but the play features seem nice and it looks like a solid build (what the Knights of Ren ship wasn't). I am for sure getting this once it reaches the 25% off threshold (20% when I get impatient).

A part of the trailer shown at D23 or a Star Wars con leaked nearly a year ago.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_o4JQcKb-ac

Tellingly despite being a leaked trailer of a new Star Wars show it has just 27k views after 11 months! Nobody seems to know about this show.

The idea is basically a Star Wars version of an 80s Amblin studio movie. Apparently it is said not to be a kids show but a show about kids if you get the idea, basically Stranger Things meets Star Wars.

Whatever else I did laugh at the continuing trend of a lack of imagination in Star Wars with a Space suburb and Space car on wheels. Even things like the street lights seem like something from modern Earth than a Galaxy Far Away.

This is a trend with Disney Star Wars, aliens, even giant ones like the big guy in the Jedi survivor game talk like humans with American accents (Or sometimes various British accents, mostly PR, even now and then something else slips through) and weird stuff like on the Mandalorian the Quarren wearing Arran jumpers. (First why would they need them but also, they're just cable knit Arran jumpers they aren't just inspired by them they're just that because you know, fishermen in the real world traditionally wore them so the Quarren, fully aquatic species will wear them too so you know they're fishermen!) Or the creature he is escorting just being a giant anthropomorphic gecko, not inspired by, just a gecko. Same in the Acolyte, they have an Otterman, he isn't inspired by an Otter, he is just an anthropomorphic otter! Or in The Last Jedi the people on Space Monaco (Itself and the games just being the ones from the real world) are sometimes wearing 4 piece suits! This combined with the aliens often not having "alien" accents and fewer and fewer speak their own languages is a bit weird, have they lost their imaginations?

@SkeltonDance08 if you're willing to sit through an hour long video on the subject there actually is a production reason for Star Wars aliens to change over the years, and most of it is tied from going from practical effects to CGI, then back to practical. https://youtu.be/Vu8N134f-DU?si=QKkcinxY0FkM4i7H

In the case of the otter guy in The Acolyte, Tynnans have been around since 1979. Acolyte hardly introduced them at all. https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Tynnan/Legends

I thought @SkeltonDance08 was referring to Selonians, which also long predate Disney's buyout.

Hearing someone else remember Shadows Raiders feels good. That almost makes this set worth existing.

""What a hunk of junk!""
“Piece” “Piece of junk”

Oh. Cool. A grey Star Wars set. I'm giddy with excitement.

Man I'm so torn on Skeleton Crew. When it was first announced the name alone made me more excited for it than any of the other show's they'd announced. A rag tag crew barely operating an understaffed ship fending for survival? Sounds awesome!

Then more details came out and it turns out that rag tag crew is... a bunch of children. If it was an animation I'd still be on board, but live action child actors flop much more than they hit. So I started to be worried the show would either have poor acting, be annoying, or both.

And now I'm at the point where I'm probably not going to even bother. The live action Disney+ shows have been so boring. Andor and the first two seasons of Mandalorian were good, but everything else has been either mediocre or outright terrible. I've been burned too many times and I just can't be fussed anymore. I'm sure when 3 or 4 shows have piled up I'll go back and check them out, but I'm not renewing my subscription for another 8 episode let down.
