There's completed & sold listings on ebay for it from anywhere between £35 to £150. Bizarre Wonder if the value will drop a bit once Lego start selling the deluxe edition and it gets a bit clearer how many of them are actually in existence. It's only got two unique pieces anyway (the head and the milk carton)! The rest of the Luke figure has been in a bunch of sets.

Well I’ll be keeping mine sealed if it comes in an official bag, just for in case in decades when it’ll be worth loads or pennies :lol:

Is your seafaring Switch overclocked or just running standard speeds? Tried it in handheld and docked?

Edit, just seen this on YouTube and if does look rather good on the Switch!

Edit 2, ShopTo have the deluxe version back in stock so just ordered a copy for my Switch

While I have Sys-clk installed I don’t actually overclock it except for using Lakka/Retroarch.

Just wondered if the performance was being aided by quicker clock speeds, good to know it’s standard speeds in a small way.

Started off with Episode 1 in co-op last night (Xbox Series X version), definitely fun, though my girlfriend did have some trouble getting to grips with the character selection controls, which aren't perhaps as intuitive as they could have been in all honesty.
Switching between active characters is fine, just a tap on one of the bumpers, but actually swapping out active characters does seem a little bit more fiddly than it should be.

I love that they've got the Voice cast from Clone Wars back to redo their characters too (Well, Obi-Wan and Padme so far at least)

How? It's not out until Tuesday, is it now?

Plenty of people have been getting it early.

A store in Middlesbrough let me have a copy early yesterday and at below RRP :toot:

Not the deluxe edition sadly, all his copies of that were pre-ordered, so I've just ordered the character pack DLC from ShopTo which essentially gets me digital deluxe edition for near standard edition prices.

For once I’m glad some folk have got it early, made me get an order in for the Switch version as soon as I saw it looked good and performed well on the Switch.

Review embargo still not up yet on this?

I would not be surprised if reviews dropped on the day. Hopefully it's just a bit longer today. Maybe at six or something.

Just under two hours to go until we get our reviews, then. I'm sure they'll be good.

I’m sure they’ll be good to, should definitely be the highest scoring Lego game they’ve done.

Reviews are now live! Checked Nintendo Life's score, and it's a good one. Hopefully plenty of places have liked it just as much.

I hope they get to do a similar game but for the Infinity Saga of Marvel movies.

Read the Nintendo Life review, just need my copy to arrive now :toot:

I have it on Switch and played for about 30 minutes.

It looks fine, if a little blurry compared to the screenshots and videos I’ve seen of presumably the next gen versions, bu seems to run quite well. Again, it’s probably around the 30fps mark but looks pretty consistent.

I’ve only played up to rescuing Padme and getting her to her ship (started with episode one as I’m currently reading/watching everything in the fall of the Jedi era).

I have read two seperate reviews make mention of a bug related to the Jango Fett chase mission from Attack of the Clones which stops progress, on both Xbox and Switch, so may be worth starting with episode one in case this hits you.

Only other thing I noticed was the sound seems super quiet, but otherwise I’m happy with it so far

Managed to get an hour in before work this morning on the Xbox version (Series S). Got up to arriving at Coruscant in Episode 1. Game looks incredible, missions are shorter than I was expecting, but that's made up for by the free roaming between them. Didn't do much free roaming, but will do later when I get more time.

It took a few minutes before the Switch would let me in, but I had an hour exploring The Force Awakens at midnight. It's definitely enjoyable, and while I didn't do much exploring of Jakku, I can see there's quite a bit to explore. It's definitely no Starlink in its space exploration and combat, but that's fine by me.

Yeah the bulk of the game seems to be based in the exploration stages, rather than the more combat focused levels. There's plenty to do in them though, puzzles to solve, things to find and characters to interact with.
