Mos Eisley Cantina

"A BrickScore of 59.0 puts the 2018 Mos Eisley Cantina in Skip It territory: the minifigures are genuinely excellent, especially the long-awaited Wuher bartender, but the set is smaller than its 2014 predecessor at the same $39.99 price, and the LEGO.com owner value score of 2.97 out of 5 confirms what critics said plainly: the price is not justified by the content."

The 2018 Mos Eisley Cantina earned a BrickScore of 59.0, placing it in the Skip It tier, with expert and owner sentiment sharply divided. Critics consistently flagged the set as overpriced for its size, calling it a smaller, less impressive repeat of the 2014 version at the same $39.99 price. Yet Amazon buyers rated it 4.8 out of 5 across 231 reviews, while LEGO.com buyers were notably cooler at 3.28 across 23 reviews, and only 65% of LEGO.com respondents said they would recommend it, with value for money scoring just 2.97 out of 5.

Where they split: The owner/critic split here is significant and worth noting. Amazon buyers rated this 4.8 out of 5, suggesting casual gifters and Star Wars fans were satisfied. However, LEGO.com buyers who sought it out deliberately scored it just 3.28 and only 65% recommended it, with value for money at 2.97. Expert critics and more engaged buyers consistently cited the price-to-size ratio as a clear failure, even while enjoying the minifigures.
