LEGO Star Wars 9516 Jabba's Palace


Buildability: This set was fairly easy for me to build, the instructions were simple and I did not need to search the images to find where each brick needed to be.  One strange thing I noticed about this set was that the minifigs were not all built in the beginning, they were spread out in the instructions.  I personally like this idea, although many minifig diehards many find this annoying.  Speaking of minifigs, Princess Leia has two faces and her lips can be seen from the back.

Details: Jabba's Palace measures over 9" (25cm) high, 11" (29cm) wide and 7" (19cm) deep

Official LEGO description: Rescue Han Solo from Jabba the Hutt's desert palace! At Jabba's Palace on Tatooine, Princess Leia is disguised as Boushh as she tries to rescue Chewbacca and carbonite-frozen Han Solo. Can she get past the roof-mounted missiles, defense guns and surveillance equipment to reach them? Or will Jabba and his motley band of followers capture the princess and entrap her beneath Jabba's sliding throne? 

Minifigs: Includes 9 minifigures: Jabba, Salacious Crumb, Bib Fortuna, Gamorrean Guard, Oola, Han Solo, Princess Leia in Boushh outfit, Chewbacca and B'omarr Monk.


Value: This set is mainly for collectors.  Per brick/price ratio, you are paying for the minifigs (which of course will pay you back in time).

Best Price: The current best price I found is on LEGO.com

Overall rating: 4 stars, minus 1 star for the brick/price ratio and Princess Leia head.
