Review: 75358 Tenoo Jedi Temple

The wall should be 2 or even 4 pieces with a space in the middle as already have an arch outside. I would move it all 2 studs forward as well to give more space inside and use the ladder to climb onto the wall.

Would it be too much to get an Avar Kriss minifigure somewhere in the future? I could see a lot of the Nihil requiring obnoxious new molds, but some of the High Republic Jedi should be straightforward prints.

Yeah this is better than most star wars 4+ sets,like the at-st

"128 pieces for £38 is a joke. And why of why is Yoda fluorescent green??"

They're not pricing it on piece count I believe. They're jacking the price for the large element printed wall pieces, printed Jedi emblem, and the new torsos, new wigs, newer Yoda head and new printed R2 dome. They know minifig collectors will go for all the new stuff.

"30p per piece, that must be some sort of record for set without electronics/pneumatics!"

75332 AT-ST from last year SW 4+ range was even worse with almost 35p/piece in the UK I think ! Those 4+ sets sure ain't cheap ...

We are never, ever getting the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Do you really think they'd make a setting, even if it's not directly included, where the murders of hundreds, if not thousands of innocents (including children!) happened? We are just as likely to get the tank from Last Crusade as the main Jedi Temple, because zero chance plus zero chance is still zero chances.

We have two separate battle packs of the unit that carried out Operation Knightfall. I think the Temple is important enough and used in enough different material that it’s a non-issue, even for LEGO. At the end of the day, it’s Star Wars, and as long as the set wasn’t specifically Anakin butchering the kids in the Council chamber, I genuinely don’t think they’d be averse to making it a set. The real reason we haven’t gotten one is for the same reason as why we’ve never gotten the Invisible Hand, or a Lucrehulk battleship: LEGO, until recently, wasn’t really interested in UCS models based off of the Prequels.

Now that they do, I wish they would only do Prequel UCS sets for a few years, as opposed to Luke’s Landspeeder or like the fourth oversized X-Wing. "

Of course if they did a UCS Coruscant temple they would have to include it in the Imperial Palace version. (AFAIK It was originally a Sith temple in the first place anyway long before those upstart Jedi took over...)

Also, the 501st is a real world organization, with many, many thousands of members worldwide. It existed before EPIII was even thought of, and anyway, it appears in both Clone Wars shows all over the place. So those sets are probably not based on Order 66 directly.

This is not correct. Admittedly, if LEGO decided to produce a Jedi Temple, I doubt they would focus on the Order 66 scenes, although that relates more to opportunities to include certain desirable minifigure than to the content of those scenes."

Which part isn't correct? Just curious if you meant we were getting Indiana Jones tank after all... ;-P

(this post is a joke, don't take it to seriously)

Looks good for a $20 set. Hard pass for $40.

Fry my Cookies I do.

I'll probably get it. Lots of the parts are good, such as a head and hair for senator chuchi from bad batch/CW and yoda having a great torso for Dagan from Jedi Survivor.

I don't hate the build either

It’d be nice to get an actual Riyo Chuchi, though preferably-for my taste-in her original or Bad Batch design. I didn’t care for her second look in The Clone Wars. But Senators/Senate-affiliated characters don’t often get figures, unless they happen to be secret Sith, gun-toting ex-queens, or rebel leaders.

I’m super excited for this set; my daughter and I have really enjoyed the series so far!

It is a shame that it’s missing Nubs, Nash, and RJ. But perhaps a set of the Crimson Firehawk is in the works….?

The weirdest thing is: This is the ONLY debuting set for the new show and subtheme. If this doesn't sell - and with this price this won't surprise - then the hope to sell more of these (this alredy comes with two new hair pieces) is DOA.

A cute little set, thanks for the review.

The new 4+ batmobile is 50 CENTS A PIECE

My 3 year old son literally just looked at this and said "I want to buy that set." So there ya go.

A fool and his money are easily parted.

Throw in 5 more euros and you can get all three SW mechs. Seems like a lot better value, and those mechs are not good value at all.

It's nice to see others want Chuchi as well! I think her second clone wars design is the best followed by her first outfit. The Bad Batch outfit falls in last, but I haven't watched S2 and that might have something to do with it. I would love to see a Talz speeder remake, senate heist, or a Trade Federation set based on Ahsoka and Chuchi's shenanigans. Although her popularity might not be big enough to get a set right now.
Also, I would add treacherous Rodians to the list of senators already made(Onaconda Farr).

And they are perfectly fine releasing a Death Star set twice because blowing up a planet with billions of inhabitants isn’t genocide (and neither was Jeddha or Scarif)? Or is it cool because the Rebels blew up the Death Star (twice) killing millions of imperials.

May I remind you that the second word in “Star Wars” is “Wars” and not “sunshine and lollipops”. "

I have it on good authority that the sun is classified as a medium-sized star, so hey, could be.

In fairness, that same authority later retracted the opening statement and the title of their thesis, 'The Sun Is A Mass Of Incandescent Gas'.

@PhantomBricks to each their own. I thought her updated look in later The Clone Wars seasons was kind of ugly, especially compared to how-dare I say it-cute she was in her initial appearance. Of course, The Clone Wars art style did that with some characters. I remember thinking that Anakin Skywalker got uglier every time he got a new animated design. Yeah, Chuchi might be out of luck unless Lego revisits some older concepts in future sets or she happens to play a more active role in some future project.

Didn’t know about “Uncle Ono”, when I wrote the last post. Of course, I was also temporarily baffled by the recent hidden tags update here on Brickset. Went and looked at our one and only Bail Organs figure, didn’t see a visible Senator tag on his page, and assumed that no one had bothered to create said tag for any characters.

And it looks like the violence in Star Wars debate from the Temple of Doom set announcement comments has returned. Personally, I figure that the biggest issue with a Coruscant Jedi Temple model is one of scale. Of course, there is definitely some argument to the fact that most of the action scenes that take place there are among the darkest in the series. The least depressing one I can think of is Kelleran Beq rescuing Grogu, and even that involves several dead Jedi and clones.

This is not the Jedi Temple we want but the Jedi Temple LEGO thinks we deserve. Even that Yavin 4 rebel base is a joke of a facade. If these wouldn't have exclusive minifigures no one would buy them.

Indeed, we appear to have different tastes. I prefer longer hair(that isn't in a weird shape), so her 2nd look easily wins. The only character that I thought looked worse later on was Anakin with his season 7 look. Most characters either improved or were fairly stagnate that I recall.

In regards to the temple, I could see Lego doing it in the same style of Yavin 4. Yavin 4 doesn't require enemies to fight as long there are enough story telling options. They would likely include a library area, the council room, hallway, and youngling training ground. Most scenes with opposition are too dark for Lego, but if they needed to, they could include Cad Bane and Todo. If they did make the temple, hopefully they would update Padawan Ahsoka.

Pumba thought it was a ' giant ball of Gas, burning Billions and billions of miles away'

Honestly, I think the set looks quite good. The minifigures are excellent and the exterior of the build appears very faithful to the onscreen location, with the artistic liberties inside also quite pleasing.
But this set costs $65 AUD at RRP, which is simply insane.

I'm... fairly certain that Friends sets haven't got weird lime green elves who look like they've been at their secret ketamine stash for lunch.

Pumbaa WOULD think that! My team of experts now tells me that the sun is a miasma of incandescent plasma, and that you should forget what you've been told in the past.

Oh no......

Apparently that's from Elves, but the existence of such a minifigure is disturbing.
