JB, you seem to build a lot of these Lego sets. Do
display them all somewhere or do some get taken apart in
favor of new sets?

So far its assembly sequence is odd. A vehicle to be parked outside is first, followed by the central bar.

Three side booths assembled. Seems to suggest that galaxy far, far away was well stocked with Barc-o-loungers.

I love the amount of figures this set has.

So far the cantina is proving a very east build. My one complaint, as with the Colosseum, is the smooth surfaces. Everything looks like what it is: shiny plastic.

BF saw and thought of getting the Doctor Who Lego Tardis set for me... has both outside and inside. A near escape for me getting sucked in I suspect! We both still have a lot of our space and castle stuff, I had a bit of both and combined them as space knights and rocket horses. Now the argument would be Canadian or U.S. flag on the moon, or a compromise to the purple crown one? :^D
The fun for me of Lego was 'mashing up' stuff... it's just sad I never made it to the pirates sets (too old then). If you can only make one thing with the modern pieces as sometimes it seems, that'd make me lose interest. I see Lego magazines and tv shows though so my impression of that must be somewhat wrong.
I did have a couple of Kenner/Palitoy cantina aliens way way back... the Greedo and Hammerhead guy were both really cool! I have to avoid seeing what these can be worth, though I doubt I ever had anything rare and definitely no packaging.

Didn’t know there was a Lego TARDIS. Alas, not my vintage.

Except it’s so neat and clean! Hardly even a little bit wretched!
