Well I like them, and was going to moan that like a few previous busts they will no doubt be exclusive to some store 1000's of miles away but if they are available I'll get them. £55 may seem steep for a bust, but its Star Wars, and cheaper per part by a long way than the latest Ep9 models. Also remember if they are on Lego.com there will be a GWP or if not maybe a 10-20% off at some point.

Boba Fett! Not price!

I'd like to try one at least, not sure which yet though.

Well this takes brickheadz to another level. LOVE it

Looks good. Boba Fett is excellent, but once again Lego can’t make a brick-built stormtrooper correctly (See Captain Phasma Brickhead). Nonetheless I might pick them both up.

Dunno if anyone’s picked this up yet, but it looks like these are to commemorate ESB (look on the side). Maybe this is why we haven’t got Vader (he is mainly used for marketing for A New Hope).

These look ok, good for a collector. Why they’re recommended to 18+ I have no idea.

Still waiting for news on what the large/UCS sets will be for May, and Autumn.

I like the Boba one. I don't buy Lego SW (can't open that can as well :), but I'm tempted. Not for the reported price though...

Damn, these might be the first Star Wars sets over $20 that I buy in over a year. The Boba one is kinda plain but the Stormtrooper looks more interesting

These look great, especially Boba Fett. I’d love to see a C-3PO, Death Trooper, Kylo Ren or Phasma in the future.

Both look absolutely beautiful, if they are £70 or less definitely getting them, looking at them they look like they might be £64.99

As others have stated the Fett helmet is an amazing piece but that Trooper well, it's clearly hard to render it.

I really hope these are reasonably priced. And not convention exclusive.

If they do a Clone Trooper (501st) one I might bite. These look fantastic.

ESB was released in 1980 so maybe we are going to see more anniversary sets (ROTJ 40th in 2023?) like we did with Lego SW 20th last year.....

LOVE these! Hope this becomes a series of releases, but agree they should stick to helmets. I will not buy a Jar Jar head! :-)

I think that the Trooper helmet will look better in real life. That Boba helmet is truly beautiful

These look nice, and I love that Lego's making some sets with adult-level building complexity that are less than £100 - I've always wanted to try one of the 16+ sets to see what exactly makes them need that guideline, but they're always way beyond what I could ever afford to spare, so this is a nice change of pace.

I just can't say the subject matter particularly interests me. They do look like really nice renditions, particularly Boba; but I don't have too much interest in a decapitated head as a display piece xD

Might change my mind if they bring around some characters who I'm more invested in, admittedly; but for now I think I'll sit these out ^^

Ummmmmm

Looks great, I will buy when reduced. Love the boxes, top job Lego of making me want them.

As I guess, I’d say the 18+ age range along with the rather premium looking packaging is to entice collectors more than anything.

Where are you going to get it reduced?

They will be available to all retailers (at least in UK), so presumably will get reduced eventually by someone

These look absolutely awesome. Lets hope they aren't Lego store exclusives so we can get them elsewhere for a better and more reasonable price.

Probably a first day buy for me.
The trooper looks a bit weird on the image. But if you look at images of the real helmets, they pretty much nailed the shapes.

They seem too expensive considering how big they will ultimately be.

Definitely interested but I'll have to see these in person before dropping $70 each. I gotta say, Boba Fett would look great beside my UCS Slave 1.

Can anyone determine approx size based on pics?

Boba Fett appears to be 18-20 studs high, excluding the rangefinder.

Count me in - day 1 purchase. Hope this is the start of a long series of these and they don’t just stick to Star Wars - Batman, Magneto etc...

Wow, these look way better than the busts from the last few years.

Presumably the Iron Man bust will be the same style

Not interested!

Boba looks fantastic! The Stormtrooper less so. The 18+ thing is odd, seems like a marketing thing more than an actual recommendation

hmmm looks smaller than I expected

The helmets look nice, but I don't see the appeal to put it on my shelf or desk (instead of a ship). And as a parts pack they are to pricey. The age range is nonsense.

"The 18+ thing is obviously just a marketing ploy to bring some attention to AFOL. To me this is trying to entice those who buy small "Architecture" sets for desk display.

Professional, compact, and striking. This is the way."

A marketing strategy for sure, but not one targeting AFOLs. LEGO doesn’t aim products at AFOLs; it does target adults though.

They look ok 6/10 but I'd rather buy The bionical style figures of them, the brickheads look tonnes better, I've got a funny feeling the iron man bust will be similar and quite disappointing!!

I'm out Lego...

What is wrong with Lego. 18+ is ridiculous.

Look pretty cool. Not sure why the 18+. There's no way these could have anything too complicated for a 14-16 year old. Especially nowadays when you only have 3-6 parts per step anyway.

Wow. Btickheads sure has come a long way

Interesting idea. Not for me though. Also, I'm pretty sure the 18+ is saying that these are mainly for adult collectors and not for kids. The age rating is just a recommendation and not a way to show how sophisticated or how difficult a set is.

The 18+ rating is 100% there to convince some people this is not a child's play-thing, a lot of figurines and statuettes have super high age ratings for seemingly no reason

Boba Fett, Guillotine edition. Yeah!

Seriously though, looks great, but also screaming for a substantial discount.
Also like others have said, 18+ LEGO, WTH? Or is that because it is basically looking like a chopped off head?

I must say a thumbs up to this series. Seldom the case especially in the recent Lego releases, but this one captures the 'need' right on spot: iconic design, good size, not many unnecessary decorative pieces, collectibles. Much much better than those 90% of sets where you will look, play with, and forget about it a few months later.

Maybe LEGO has given up with legal SNOT techniques and you need to be 18+ to use the supplied glue.

But you could MOC some blood and brain material, and instead of a display stand it could be mounted on a display pike! Sounds like a fitting rendition of Jar Jar to me, which would cheer me up anytime I was feeling down. As in, "things could be worse, just look at poor Jar Jar...." Heck, I'm writing the LTG right now to make this twisted dream a reality!

As for these sets, yeah Boba's Helmet is definitely the better of the two - This is the way... to my Want List.

@AustinPowers, or they could label the Jango Fett version the "Mace Windu Customized Edition" :)

I’m going to paraphrase Will Feral from the LEGO Movie in regard to the 18+ argument, “it’s just a suggestion”.

Also, I will be making a Din Djarin helmet.

It would be cool to see someone make shoulders for these.

They could re-use the Top Gear licence and make a Stig helmet.
Or actually it's not the Stig, it's the Stig's brick-built cousin :-)

The first sets I've seen in 2020 that I must buy.

Toniboeh - I believe many collectables has a 14+ rating (complete with "This toy is not a toy" disclaimers) mainly 'cause the manufacturer aren't willing to jump hoops and compromise quality in order to conform to ever-stricter toy safety regulations. Unless its like Paul Merton suggests and this set is assembled with industrial-strength kragle there's absolutely NO reason for a Lego set to have an 18+ rating, especially considering how such a rating implies that it's something downright inappropriate/illegal for younger users. Even the 16+ rating really only fits the largest and most complex sets (like the UCS Falcon), most Expert sets are more like 12+ and this should be 10+.

These two are definitely smaller than what I was expecting but still they look good and the designers have done a great job. Also the 18+ is a bit much, the build doesn't look complicated but I suppose Lego are trying to interest more adults by trying to entice them by have a fancier box (like architecture) and have a high age recommendation. Still overall very good and I will probably pull the trigger on boba fett.

The stormtrooper's front looks a little odd but the Boba Fett one looks great. Shame they don't come with minfigures

These look lovely... possibly the first Star Wars sets I will pick up since the sequels started. I hope these do well enough for more, such as Darth Vader, Luke's X-wing flight helmet, and a Clone Trooper.

Frankly, I don't see the appeal. If I wanted such a helmet as a display piece, I'd rather buy a real replica.

I suspect the suggested age of 18+ is meant to indicate that children might simply be uninterested in them. If a child specifically asks for one, then go for it; I'm sure the build isn't that complicated. But if you give one of these to a child just because "It's Star Wars LEGO", it would last about ten minutes before being torn apart and the pieces used for something more interesting.
