I got this set last Christmas, and it had the second most pieces to Republic Frigate, which is another one I got on that same day.

Anyway, now to the set. The minifigures are cool, although it could have also come with Luke , Boba and Lando, since they weren't just on the Desert Skiff in the movie. They were also at Jabba's Palace. But, if you own the Desert Skiff, then you can have Luke , Boba and Lando in both sets. Same with Princess Leia in her SLAVE outfit(since he is in her Boushh outfit in the set) and Max Rebo from Jabba's Sail Barge. They also could have put one more Gamorrean Guard, and then R2-D2 and C-3PO. they could also put some minifigs of the members of the Max Rebo band in both Jabba's Sail Barge AND Jabba's Palace.

My favorite character would probably be Salacious B. Crumb, since they're he's minifig. Because Jabba, Gamorrean Guard, Bib, Han, Han in Carbonite, and Chewbacca have been made into Lego form before, just in different variants. Even though Oola and Princess Leia in her Boushh disguise are new as well, I like Salacious the best because he is an unusual minifig to be all one piece. The only other minifigs that were one piece were Sebulba from 7171 Mos Espa Podrace from 1999, and Aldar Beedo from 7186 Watto's Junkyard from 2001. So that means, he is the first minifigure to be released as one piece in a set in a decade and a fifth(1/5). That's 12 years!

This set has LOTS of functions! This is probably a set that has the most functions and details since 10123 Cloud City from 2003!

I mean, an opening and closing gate, a gatewatcher droid, weapons storage, sliding throne, trap door, gorg bowl, 9 minifigs, a spinning security camera at the entrance, spinning Han in Carbonite, tables, a flick-fire missile, and an opening backside of the throne room part, that's exactly 12 features! You can even take the hole roof off! Make that 13! And I think Cloud City only had about, 9 or 10.
