Review: 75407 Star Wars Logo
Posted by CapnRex101,
76313 MARVEL Logo was a pleasant surprise in January, involving some ingenious construction techniques. Star Wars is a natural follow-up and 75407 Star Wars Logo replicates the distinctive logo design accurately, again without the need for any specialised parts.
Needless to say, products like these are not going to appeal to everybody and the Star Wars logo lacks minifigures, unlike its Marvel equivalent. However, that keeps the price down to a relatively affordable £59.99, $59.99 or €69.99, so could be a worthwhile trade-off.
Summary
75407 Brick-Built Star Wars Logo, 700 pieces.
£59.99 / $59.99 / €69.99 | 8.6p/8.6c/10.0c per piece.

This recreation of the Star Wars logo has really exceeded my expectations
- Excellent shaping
- Nice size for display
- Clever easter egg inside
- Slight inaccuracy with the 'A's
The set was provided for review by LEGO. All opinions expressed are those of the author.
Reference
The Completed Model
The now-iconic Star Wars logo was developed by graphic designer Suzy Rice and is instantly recognisable in LEGO form. I was concerned that the mix of round and angular shapes would cause problems, especially on the R and S where those features need to blend, but this model matches the original onscreen logo almost perfectly.
Furthermore, I like its size for display, measuring a manageable 30cm across. 76313 MARVEL Logo is about the same size from the front, but deeper to accommodate its pop-up minifigures. While the Star Wars logo could perhaps have included minifigures too, their absence means a lower price and I presume the main Original Trilogy characters would have been chosen, which would not be very interesting to seasoned LEGO Star Wars fans.
The colour scheme is another potential point of contention, as the Star Wars logo is generally black with a yellow outline, rather than solid yellow. Actually building a yellow outline would be impossible at this scale, so a solid colour was definitely a good choice, although either white or silver tends to be more common than yellow. This colour therefore looks a bit strange to me.
However, I am sure I will get used to the logo's colour, so probably more important is the letter shaping. Fortunately, this is one of the model's great strengths and it looks essentially flawless from a distance, as features visible at close range vanish, like the ridges where slopes meet on the S.
The only inaccuracy that really catches my eye is the lower section of the letter A. The internal angles should mirror those above the crossbar, but 1x1x2/3 slopes and 1x2x2/3 slopes do not match. I cannot envisage any way of resolving this though, without producing a new 1x1 slope, or maybe doubling the logo's size, so 1x2 slopes could be used under the crossbar.
I am pleased with the spacing between letters, filled with textured black elements. The texture bears a resemblance to designs on 18+ boxes and provides a little visual interest, breaking up what would otherwise be a plain black wall.
There are no minifigures inside the model, but removing a panel on top of the T does reveal a microscale space battle! Even though these vehicles are tiny, the Tantive IV and pursuing Star Destroyer from the beginning of A New Hope are easily identifiable and I am especially pleased with the shape of the Blockade Runner. The 1x2 half circle tile representing Tatooine is a nice touch as well.
Unlike the Marvel Logo, which features letters attached to a red background, these letters are constructed around a two-stud-wide frame in the middle. The letters are accordingly visible on both sides, albeit reversed from the back, which is an interesting effect.
Overall
LEGO sets designed specifically for home decor are not usually something that interests me, although I suppose any set on display can be considered decorative. Regardless, I was fairly impressed with 76313 MARVEL Logo and the equivalent 75407 Star Wars Logo shares similar qualities. The letter shapes are near-perfect and I like the texture in between them.
The lack of minifigures may be disappointing to some and I do think a George Lucas minifigure would have been amazing, but an entire roster minifigures was not needed, in my opinion. Also, focusing fully on the logo keeps the price down to £59.99, $59.99 or €69.99, which seems quite reasonable to me, particularly in the UK and US. I was dubious when rumours of the Star Wars logo arose, but its execution is fantastic.

I'm just gonna say it.... should've had minifigures....
You know what though, that price isn't awful, and it probably would've been if there were minifigs included, so I guess there's that.
Ooh, I always wanted my very own "Rats Sraw" logo display set.
I still have no idea who this set is for. If a fan wanted a set for display wouldn’t they just get something thats iconic from one of the movies? As a fan myself this set has no appeal in terms of build and has with not figures it has no appeal there either.
It looks better than the equally confusing marvel one so it at least has something going for it even if that has figs.
Lego needs to just cut this junk and go back to making playsets.
No George Lucas minifig, no sale.
Plus, rip off price in Euro versus GBP or USD.
Easy pass.
Gotta say I'm surprised there are no minifigs with this set...given how prevalent SW Minifig collecting is. Providing a new Unique minifig would easily boost the sale of this set. I just don't see the appeal to buying a set of cleverly designed letters.
It looks nice. Just wish it had more of those micro Easter eggs
$59.99 / €69.99 ??
It should be the other way around.......... does Lego know how to check the current exchange rates? 70€ is 80$...

Podcaster shelves. They'll be seen in the background as a 35 year old man argues why Mara Jade needs to be recanonized to end the 'woke' and fire Kathleen Kennedy and save Star Wars to George's vision, before he cuts to reviewing the bulk order of Black Series figures he just purchased. He'll mumble something about Brie Larson and The Acolyte then continue to unbox action figures, the LEGO Star Wars logo watching silently from above.
What a waste of bricks. No thanks. Looks like something you’d see at a LEGO convention or as @xboxtravis7992 says, in the background of a podcaster.
Considering this is a LEGO Star Wars logo, I feel like the yellow colour scheme is actually the best choice.

It's for MEEE!!! I saw Star Wars in the theatre when I was 3. I don't normally like display only sets but this hits the nostalgia gear into overdirve. Day one purchase!
I have to say,
While at first I thought the logo sets were odd and unneeded,
I can easily see this sat above a collection of other star wars sets.
If collection is sorted by theme.
The price on inevitable discount could be rather appealing as well.
"I don't like it, so it shouldn't exist!"
Sigh. So tiresome.
These sets are actually so awesome, they make great display pieces that go anywhere, and they're a fun build. I'd love to have a "Logo Shelf" with all my favorite IPs. (Ninjago someday? :) )
This is probably going to be one of those articles where I see almost no comments at all thanks to the blocklist.
The thing that baffles me is this: why is everyone going on about it being in the background of a podcast? The peculiarity of being angry about things in someone else's house notwithstanding, I'm pretty sure you can't hear Lego on a shelf.
This set could have been even worse - if it came with a Kathleen Kennedy minifigure.
If you'ld like a large Star Wars logo as a display piece, there are many other options out there than Lego. I can't the see the appeal of this.
Ah yes, my favourite space series: RATS SRAW...!
I find this set a bit baffling, in truth. I mean... yeah, it looks accurate? So good work on the part of the designer. But even as someone who displays fandom stuff on basically any available surface, I can't imagine a context in which I'd chose a logo design over something character- or location-centric, no matter the franchise. I'm fully willing to accept that might be just a "me" thing, though.
I'd get it a bit more if the letters were hollow and had little movie scene vignettes in them, reminiscent of the logos at the beginning of the mid-2000s DVD menus (e.g. https://s2.dmcdn.net/v/8uIdZ1Krq2uypehsN/x1080). Personally I think that could be a pretty interesting effect. But like this, it's just not connecting with me.
Happy for the people who like it, though ^^

I mean its a solid build, and I do hate using the “who is this for” argument but when we are looking at getting the fewest playsets (not counting 4+, microfighters, and mechs) since 2006 at 10 its annoying seeing weird builds like this. Especially considering recent shows like Acolyte got no sets and Andor just got two playsets for its first two seasons.
I like it.
My line of thought always compares these deco sets to similarly priced other sets with play value / collectionist value. Would you prefer this, two battle packs, a set from the starship collection or a sizeable playset, e. g. Sith Infiltrator? To be honest, I don't think deco sets have an edge over any of the above mentioned. Heck, even the helmets have more purpose due to their common theme.
Not being 8 years old I have absolutely no interest in 'play' sets and am glad that this is a very good looking display set without any cost being wasted on childish minifigures. It will fit very nicely on my small shelf of Star Wars characters.
And for those stressing over who it's for just relax, it's not for you... not everything has to be!
Personally, owning a massive collection of Lego Star Wars sets myself, this would look perfect sitting on a shelf right beside them. Very happy with the design execution. I can’t see who wouldn’t want this if they collect a large percentage of Star Wars sets. If they don’t, yeah, easy pass. But this is excellent.
Love the little ‘Easter egg’.
Gonna try to carve out the A and R to put in something from Empire and Jedi.

Kinda nostalgic. I remember when all SW sets were 10 more in Euro MSRP than Dollar more than a decade ago. Prince of Persia sets were the same 60$ but 70€ in Europe.

Found the podcaster!!
Real talk, you ever get the feeling that the average Brickset commenter is so far out of TLG’s rapidly diversifying and expanding target demo(s), that it’s not really worth checking out what they have to say?
Not me, though. What I say is important and it’s good you’re paying attention to me.
I like this so much more than I thought I would! I'm glad they didn't inflate the price with minifigs. Might get this after all.
@ThatBionicleGuy said:
"I'd get it a bit more if the letters were hollow and had little movie scene vignettes in them."
I would appreciate that, though I struggled to get the one they did reference. I need to get back into star wars, I've lost interest in it lately, though I'm looking forward to the new series of Andor, the sets have lost their appeal a little for me. I think it's the expense, somtimes the design, and what they don't cover, which made them fall out of favour for me.
I'm looking forward for this set. It'll look really good in my collection of SW sets.
That said. I don't really understand the people who comment on here just to say they hate the set and worst, come here just to dismiss everyone who does like the set by turning them into incel podcasters who love to spur their hate of all things SW online or by telling them they are childish to love playsets.
It's ok not to like a set, but it's also ok not to make a fuss about it.
LEGO released 703 sets in 2024. At least 600 of them were not for me. I would have been a sad person if I had come on here just to say that each time and dissing anyone who likes them.
Let's talk about the sets themselves, their weaknesses, their strengths, why we love them, and why we don't. That's ok. But respect those who may like sets you don't like.
Absolutely pathetic set. Will cost R$599.99 in Brazil (100 USD), an actual absurd price which shows how Lego is really getting out of hand in certain places.
I remember when Star Wars had lots of playscale starfighters and vehicles, good times.
Honestly, I'm very impressed with this set, considerably more so than with the Marvel logo! The curvy, stylized shapes of the letters and the set as a whole having an interesting silhouette instead of just a rectangle surely help with that, of course. But it also has a whole lot of other strengths going for it where I think the designers really went above and beyond the minimum requirements for a brick-built Star Wars logo.
The text here is a genuinely impressive feat of brick lettering, particularly keeping all the exposed yellow surfaces studless and making all the curves feel smooth and continuous. It's also really neat that the title can be displayed in either one line or two, that the black negative space between the letters is all greebly in contrast with the surface of the letters themselves, and that the shape of the letters is visible from both the front and back (shout out to whoever in LEGO's photo department decided to show that off in one of the lifestyle photos by displaying it in front of a mirror)!
The microscale version of A New Hope's opening scene is nothing outstanding as builds go, but I suppose it'd be a fun thing to surprise guests with if the set happens to draw their eye when they come to visit. And it's pretty impressive that the designers were able to include ANY interior surprises like this while keeping the model just four studs thick (less than half the thickness of the Marvel logo set)!
The biggest drawback I see is the lack of any hooks or loops for hanging it on a wall, which I figure some builders might be keen on doing given its compact size (especially if they have stuff like framed movie posters or minifig display frames they wish to display it with). But it probably would've been hard to integrate wall hangers into the build while keeping such a clean look on both the front and back of the model (and there's plenty of inexpensive shelving or supports out there that'd work for a set like this if you so desire).
Also, I suppose it wouldn't have hurt the appearance too much if it had included some studs on top of the letters (while keeping the other sides studless) in case somebody wished to use it as a display stand for some of their Star Wars minifigs. But that's a minor issue, especially since if one was so inclined, it would be downright easy to replace some or all of the tiles on the top of the set with studded plates.
Overall, with such a small footprint, such a reasonable price, and such impressive building techniques and display value, I can definitely imagine this being popular with Star Wars fans/collectors as a centerpiece for a shelf of LEGO Star Wars sets or other merch, or perhaps for on top of a VHS or DVD cabinet. At such a narrow size, it'd also be very easy to display atop a mantelpiece, windowsill, or even atop some interior door frames.
2025 has definitely been a big year for sets focusing on pop art and typography, but even among those sorts of sets, I feel this one is a genuine standout! Thanks for (and great work with) the review and photos!
They made it well, all things considered. More bulk than a helmet by the look of it.
I agree with Anchir's comments.
I really like this set. I'm not a SW or Marvel fan but I'm considering these sets.
For building experience, building techniques, parts, and maybe display.
I prefer these sets (and UCS ones) WITHOUT minifigures. I think minifigs are appropriate in minifig scale sets
As some have mentioned, it would have been nice to have some minifigures included. But the question is which ones? If you were limited to only 4 or 5 figures, which ones should it be?
My choices: R2-D2, C-3PO, Luke in Tattooine garb, Leia (Episode 4 dress), and of course Darth Vader. Unfortunately, this would leave out many important characters and variations of characters. Maybe that is a reason for why no figs were included in this model.
I was expecting there to be more micro scale builds tucked away in the other letters, similar to how that big B:TAS Gotham set had little printed bad guy tiles tucked away behind buildings. Slightly disappointed that it basically is just letters, cunningly crafted letters though they may be
@Broken_Cheese_Slope said:
"I still have no idea who this set is for."
Not for you - and that’s ok. Not everything needs to be designed especially for your own personal tastes, and different people like different things.
Anyway, the shaping on these letters and the brickwork involved to get them looking so accurate and sleek is phenomenal. Like, genuinely impressive.
@Prof_Physika said:
"Not me, though. What I say is important and it’s good you’re paying attention to me."
Are you the Lisan-al-Gaib?
Really strange trend there...
Lack of minifigs though feels like a plus for these IMHO, makes them feel more focused on the actual thing, lowers price point (at least in theory) and keeps minifig completists a bit out of the discussion.
Still don't get the target group. Yelling people in the face "I am Star Wars Fan !11" with an oversized logo (instead of showing a more subtle yet more artistically sophisticated display piece from the franchise) feels like someone only people below age 10 might want to do, yet I barely think they'd be interested in something like that either.
Showing that you can build it from Lego bricks might be interesting for a moment, but then it's not really that of a "wow" factor for rather simple logos like this or Marvel's. Especially since you could probably Bricklink a mosaic of the same image for less than half the price (which also would take up less space).
This makes more sense than the Marvel one - this would look really good on a UCS shelf in a display area, while Marvel's display sets are on the whole too small to have the visual presence that the big logo would look good with. It also helps that this one doesn't have a filled in border box like the Marvel one, so the shaping of the letters give it better display value as a three-dimensional ornament. No minifigures doesn't bug me, but either George or a three-pack of Anakin, Luke, and Rey would have been a nice bonus. The only missing feature for me would be the ability to separate the words and put the logo in the horizontal orientation - if you're not going to put a mechanism inside and the letters go all the way through front to back, it'd be a welcome option.
I think I would prefer a complete rectangular black background to really make the letters pop.
I will seriously never understand the average Lego Star Wars fan’s mentality. This logo is the literal definition of iconic. It’s cheap by LSW standards and it’s impressively built. I’m sure this has more appeal than the yearly $600 glup shitto helmet hole freight tanks or whatever everyone’s always praising.
I think the set would've been better with just a yellow outline of the letters instead of them being filled in, but perhaps they will do that for the UCS version.
I look forward to buying the set regardless.

Because this comment was raised on the internet some time ago that Lego are making display sets, and likely to be featured in a podcast.
Since that comment someone raises the point in every discussion hoping to be seen as an original complaint and getting angry over an opinion that wasn't even theirs in the first place!
can't wait to get this
minifigs would have been okay, but overall a waste. I don't need them with the Marvel set and the pop-out feature isn't anything I'm going to use. I would have skipped that and the minifigs to just have the Marvel logo itself at a cheaper price.
So I'm good with Star Wars like this. The mini Star Destroyer and Blockade Runner are a nice touch.

Yes the prices are getting crazy, over here ist 930 SEK ($97). And 75406 Kylo Ren's Command Shuttle will cost the same, including 386 pieces...

That absolutely will never happen. Kennedy announced she's leaving already.

This is my thought as well. I had no interest in these brand title sets but then realized it might go well when displayed with the different themes sorted out with these in the middle.

I'm misanthropic, I'll gladly repeat a comment somebody else said on the internet to rib this set.
Yellow letters are the best choice of course. I really like it for some reason and will buy it when it goes on sale.
The fact that it doesn’t have minifigs makes this set somehow better. Maybe it could have had a tile with a legofied version of the movie poster in it? But for the rest, good job Lego

I was already thinking about what could be put on the top. Originally, I'd been thinking doing minifigs in battle, but really the most iconic option would be Luke and Vader dueling. Problem is, minifigs don't really allow for the iconic poses everyone would expect. Another option would be the Luke Mech vs Vader Mech (in which case I need to go grab a second Vader Mech before they retire). And another option would be microscale starfighters. An ironic option would be to make a scaled up version of the scene hidden in the T.
@Blockwork_Orange:
That's really a hard question. Just from Ep4, you're looking at nine characters that have valid claims (Luke, Han, Leia, Chewie, R2-D2, C-3PO, Obi-Wan, Vader, and a Stormtrooper). Reducing that number to only 4-5 is difficult, because they rarely appear in such quantity. Reducing them to two would be much easier, since you could go with Luke/Vader, Obi-Wan/Vader, R2-D2/C-3PO, or Vader/Stormtrooper. You could do Luke/Han/Leia/Chewie, but then you're leaving out the two storyteller characters (the droids), and I'd argue that this only really works if they put Luke and Han in Stormtrooper armor. Luke/Obi-Wan/R2-D2/C-3PO did all appear in a few scenes together, but they don't really feel like an iconic grouping. I guess you could go with the Triscuit box solution, which adds Chewie to the THX VHS grouping of Vader/Yoda/Stormtrooper. There are four distinct Imperial troopers in the OT (Stormtrooper, Sandtrooper, Snowtrooper, and Scouttrooper). And one other possibility would Anakin vs Obi-Wan, Vader vs Luke, and some guy in civilian clothing holding up a sign that says, "We're sorry". If the number was bumped up to six minifigs, that'd be an easy call right there, as I'd pick the Ep5 bounty hunter lineup.
this is certainly a thing that exists... wait is that part 5404 in LIGHT BLUEISH GREY LFGGGG
I might just buy PAB's entire stock once this is available.

Doesn't work that way with different markets, supply and demand, even shipping costs, etc.
Prices don't exist in a vacuum.
Not a set for me, but in itself, I do kinda like what I see. It is an iconic logo, executed well, and I like how the letters wrap around that black frame on both sides, making it more of a sculpture. That said, the "waster egg" really feels like the bare minimum, and €70 for 700 basic pieces feels massively overpriced.
Oh, and above the W there seems to be a bit of purple or red peeping through.....why? I do understand Lego sets need a lot of silly colors for people without a degree in engineering to be able to build it, but please, whenever a piece will be even so slightly be visible, please don't.
Lack of any wall hanging is a disappointment. Someone will likely though come up with an elegant 3d print to solve this.

I agree that such a line up would be the most fitting for this set. However, this is why I am glad it didn't have figures. I'd guess that the majority of people interested in this set already have those very common figures, and it'd be a shame to see the price be inflated further just to accommodate them.
Apologies if raised already but surely the biggest problem is it doesn't look like the actual image. As shown in the first picture proceeding, the Star wars design has a yellow or gold edge, the Lego design is ok but doesn't match.
The "A's" are accurate enough. It's the "W" that's inaccurate. I still might get it.
I want to see a version of this *only* made out of star wars minifigures to form the letters.
Okay, the bottom of the A design is starting to bug me, now that it's been pointed out. I can't see any other obvious deviations from the print logo, other than that this version of the logo is just an outline. That's not a big deal because making just the outline would be darn near impossible (certainly at an affordable scale), but also because a version of this logo does exist with solid letters:
https://logos-world.net/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Star-Wars-Emblem.png
The only things missing are the black outline (also practically impossible at this scale), the orange-to-yellow gradient, and the circular red glow in the center. Anyways, the fat legs on the A might not look as bad if they hadn't made a point of preserving the width at the bottom, which puts the top out of alignment with the hole in the center. If they'd split the difference, by spreading the cheese wedges out at least a full plate thickness, it might not be as noticeable.
Discussion of adding studs to the top also made me notice that there are two really visible studs to the right of the A, which would probably bug me more if I hadn't then noticed that there are also two less visible studs to the left of the A. It should be possible to leave this completely unmodified, and still mount a small X-Wing and some type of TIE in a dogfight pose above the logo.
@MisterBrickster:
Full post count stands at 59 as I'm typing this, so 60 once I post. Curious if you see a reduced count to match the quantity that actually display for you, or if it stays unchanged.
@ao_ka:
You don't get as much economy of scale, I'm sure. Here in the US, small towns may buy as many copies of a set like this as Rio will in Brazil, so it's not hard to figure out why the prices won't match. If you offer to buy a few hundred units, sure, they'll take the business, but they won't bend over backwards for you. If you offer to buy a few million units, that starts to impact their bottom line. You might even get a thank you gift if you agree to purchase enough sets.
@Aanchir:
I can't recall ever seeing this logo design in a linear format. For one thing, the tails on the letters wouldn't line up, where on this form you get that neat parallel line on the right. The model itself isn't shown in linear format in the review, and I suspect it doesn't have a clean split line running through the center. Even if it did, the letters encase the black core on the outside, and I suspect the WARS section would have a big black rectangle running across the top.
@Atuin:
Do graphic tees not exist where you're from? I can't go grocery shopping without being able to tell what interests at least half a dozen other people have, and I'm usually wearing one myself, if it's not a workday (if I'm going to destroy a shirt at work, I'd much rather it be a plain one that I got for $5 than a $30 limited run shirt that I can never replace). I also see a lot of passenger vehicles with bumper stickers and other sorts of decals indicating different fandoms. In many cases, by the time you'd ever get deep enough into someone's home to spot this, you'll already know plenty of the IPs they care about.
@TheOriginalSimonB:
There are two basic versions of this logo. One has no background between the letters, and one has the background filling in the space between the letters plus a simple outline of the overall design. In any instance where I can find a version that's inside a black rectangle, it appears to be intended for display on a black page, or the black background is set to be invisible when displayed on a page.
@Ephseb:
The ungrated cheese? Just as a note, they've started imposing per-order Limit-10 on a few PABS elements, so no one individual can wipe out the entire supply. So far, PABB appears to be Limit-999 across the board.
@WizardOfOss:
I do see the bit of color you're referring to, but if I was designing this thing in LDraw, I wouldn't have noticed that until it came time to build a physical copy. In the digital build, the bricks exactly fill their alloted space, while the physical bricks are slightly rounded at the corners and a gap exists between the flat sides.
I want to see Lego do a Harry potter logo next!
Because then the haters can have some new target to spout the typical vitriolic and amusingly self-centred comments on to pass their time, but also because, while not a fan of that particular logo, unlike this simple and elegant SW one that I spent much of my youth -and beyond- looking at fondly in the various media, it would certainly be a challenging work to accomplish.
I'm not going to buy it, but I'm going to build something similar from existing parts. This will look great on my office shelf. I want a stand to display a few minifigures and this will be perfect.

Makes sense, but I would expect Lego designers to actually build it before a set gets approved. And then replace that piece with a black one. Looking at the instructions it seems to be a purple 1x2 plate, so luckily that's an easy one to replace.

"The only missing feature for me would be the ability to separate the words and put the logo in the horizontal orientation - if you're not going to put a mechanism inside and the letters go all the way through front to back, it'd be a welcome option."
The set is actually built as two separate words so you can do that. See https://www.brothers-brick.com/2025/04/17/lego-star-wars-75407-brick-built-star-wars-logo-star-wars-nothing-but-star-wars-review/
I have a VERY strong opinion about this set. I'm still working out exactly what it is.
I wonder if they will make a LEGO Movie or LEGO Masters logo at one point , if this trend goes on.
I wonder if Lego is confused and punishing Europeans instead of punishing tarif lovers Americans! That price in euros is ridiculous!! I love it but I refuse to buy it!

Maybe the color changes happen only after they've created digital instructions, and the only people who actually built that version were test subjects, rather than the designers.

So, funny thing about those tariffs. They don't make a lot of product in China that's not sold in SE Asia. So, we don't really get much from them. They're the only nation that has responded by reciprocal increases in tariffs. Everyone else is mad scrambling to cut deals. Whether from the EU (Denmark) or from Mexico, the eventual outcome could be no net change.
Ew

American market usually gets lower prices for starwars sets, because of market dynamics and saturation. Americans pay taxes which are not included in the official price, unlike European prices which have vat already included. American market gets way less of discounts than European market, where almost every set is discounted 30% within days or weeks.
As I said before: this is typical 'GIFT FOR MALES FROM WIFE/GIRLFRIEND' type of set. Great for decorating mancaves. And it's done very well.

In that case they should hire test subjects with higher standards.....

The thing that baffles me is this: why is everyone going on about it being in the background of a podcast? The peculiarity of being angry about things in someone else's house notwithstanding, I'm pretty sure you can't hear Lego on a shelf."
I think people are just misusing "podcast" thinking it means a Youtube video.

I have over 700 'childish' minifigures in my display collection. I'm not a child. I was well into adulthood when I became an AFOL in the early 1990s.

Overall, with such a small footprint, such a reasonable price, and such impressive building techniques and display value, I can definitely imagine this being popular with Star Wars fans/collectors as a centerpiece for a shelf of LEGO Star Wars sets or other merch, or perhaps for on top of a VHS or DVD cabinet. [...] "
Yeah!
I've got a shelf full of SW books, and in addition to a couple sets (Constraction figures, Midi-scale ISD), I have a little Lego mosaic of the logo sitting up there. This set would fit there perfectly. Perhaps if it goes on sale...

Thank you, I appreciate that. Happy Easter, btw!
This is the first Star Wars set I’ll likely buy in over 10 years! …And suspect this will be a decent investment set. - Surprised at all the voices acting like they don’t seem to see what this set is: It’s just as much an art/design set, as it is a Star Wars set. …And it’s has no reverence to the modern Star Wars. It’s a cool set.

You already used one of my favorite quotes, so I'm going to bust out another. "We don't stop playing because we grow old. We grow old because we stop playing." - George Bernard Shaw.
"The lack of minifigures may be disappointing to some..."
Nope. I'm fine with that. I don't expect, nor need, any minifigures with a set like this.
"...and I do think a George Lucas minifigure would have been amazing..."
OMG! Wow! Yes! Absolutely! I want that. I need that. I can't believe they haven't included that. I am so upset right now.

In between the S and the T just on the edge of the W, really zoom in, you see a sliver of a lavender(?) element. Probably a guide brick within the build.

I noticed it on this picture: https://images.brickset.com/news/120736_Logo%205.jpg
It's certainly not the worst offender, and considering it's just a 1x2 plate it's easily fixed, but still, it's just unneccessary.

"Tarif lover" sounds a lot cooler than the current reality. ;)

I apparently have 1372 minifigures, only 2 bought willingly, 5005233 and 40308 as souvenirs from visits. The last figures I bought to play with were Major Matt Mason and Sgt Storm. Personally I'd prefer each Lego set to have an option of buying with or without minifigures.
Of course I'm probably swayed by the fact that my original Lego years were entirely free of figures of any description (and my modern favourite sets still are).
It would look good on display, but not my thing. Would have been nice if it had a minifigure or two like the Marvel one.
It’s not the worst thing out there however.

When two people agree on everything, one of them is unnecessary.
@shootvolio said:"When are we getting a brick built LEGO logo?"
That would be awesome, but if all the details were brick-built (as opposed to stickers/prints, which would honestly be sort of boring for something like this), it'd have to be huge.
@shootvolio said:

Not interested in the current Lego logo but I'd love the 1960-1972 Lego System logo although I'm not sure that the fine 'System' script could be handled in bricks. A printed Lego System steel sign with bar chart would also have been good, but I assume they're finished now.
@shootvolio said:

No matter when, it'll be too soon :P
Picked this up yesterday along with the U-wing cuz my local WMs don't seem to care about street dates - always a nice surprise when out on a hunt!
I really enjoyed building the logo set. It's great to experience the techniques that get the shapes so close to the logo font. It was a particularly interesting build, more so than expected. Also, its portable dimensions mean it can fit on pretty much any shelf.
Something different from LEGO that hit the mark for me.
