With the August 2024 release hitting shelves just a few days ago, only a handful of LEGO Star Wars sets remain for the rest of the year. One of these includes the themes third and final 18+ D2C of 2024 of 75397 Jabba's Sail Barge. The October 2024 model retails for a total of $499.99 / €549.99 / £429.99 with 3,942 pieces and 10 Minifigures included in the D2C.
Those 10 Minifigures will probably explain the high $500 price as LEGO seems to be reproducing characters for the first time since 2013 - the release of the last brick-built LEGO Jabba's Sail Barge of 75020. But 2024's Sail Barge includes Jabba the Hutt, Biba Fortuna, Leia in her Huttslayer outfit, Klatu, Nikto, Max Reebo, R2-D2, C3PO, Salacious B. Crumb, and a Gamorrean guard.
The 18+ set itself is based on Star Wars Return of the Jedi which celebrated its 40th anniversary last year and will appear in LEGO form for the first time in over 10 years. The brick-built Sail Barge owned by Jabba the Hutt sits on the usual UCS black stand and will most likely come a printed information plauqe. Original leaks of the set in the survey lakes from last February also suggested that the D2C would measure 26 cm tall, 25 cm wide and 60 cm in length even though that rumoured model also had a lot more pieces.
75397 Jabba's Sail Barge with its 10 Minifigures and almost 4,000 pieces is Minifigure scale with plenty of display and play room for the 10 unique characters. In the sail barge, different compartments are able to open up allowing plenty of playability for this UCS set along with the deck and its sails which use a large orange fabric piece. This large fabric element and larger elements being used for the side walls would explain 75397s high price once it releases on the 3rd of October 2024.
