Can’t say I’ve heard of At Attin
Yessss.
Limb from limb!
Aye.
Aye.
We know!
"C-can't say I remember no At Attin"
What’s insane is like 10 mins before this vid released I had checked the channel to find this review
HA
That’s hilarious
The prophet
Did you look for the review because you saw the set and was intriqued by it, because you saw the series and was interested in it, or was it because you already bought the set and wanted an outside opinion to compare with your own? (that last part sounds weird, but a lot of people do that)
@@pinobluevogel6458it was def because I saw the series! Honestly I’m loving Skeleton Crew
SM-33: part of the ship, part of the crew...
I wonder if they did that to save the minifigure for another upcoming set, so you have to buy it just to complete the crew which is quite shitty but it is what it is
AYE!!
@@RCmiesbingo
Part of the ship like the crew on the Flying Dutchman in PotC?
You mean Smee?
It’s actually one of the best looking play sets of 2024 tbh
This this is hideous. What are you talking about?
@@DistnguishedIDegenerate I also dont see the appeal... just a gray block without a SM-33
Star Destroyer tops this 150%
@@direkjes.editing “one of” not the best
As someone who works at The LEGO store, I can say now that the show is really going and people are loving it, this set is flying off the shelves. So many fun guest have come in expressing there love for the show and characters already. Big win for LEGO and Star Wars fans.
Do lego stores hire people part time? And do they get any benefits? Because I'd pick up shifts there on my days off honestly 😅
@@SkyKid002 in Ireland lego store staff gets massive employee discount. we are talking close to 50% off on stuff (ofc it is capped to prevent resale) and they get to keep models they build for displays and and returns or damaged boxes are also given away to staff in draws.
Not sure I would ever bring home a paycheck...Just pay me with Legos :) What are the age ranges of the people buying this? It is really the first Star Wars series that I haven't connected with. Acolyte episodes 5-8 were really good but by that point nobody was watching it.
@Betazeno that's why it's part time and not full time 😉😁
@@SkyKid002 next time they usually hire is spring and summer.
I’m willing to bet Lego didn’t know about SM-33. Wouldn’t be the first time Lucasfilm didn’t give them the reference material for something, looking at you, Spider Tank.
Designers were probably given the Ship, Jod, and the kids as reference material to make a set with.
Agreed. My other favorite reference material snafoo is when Lucasfilm didn’t show LEGO how the wings of Kylo Ren’s shuttle worked (or its proper color) so the original Force Awakens set doesn’t match the movie at all
@ that one was changed long after the reference material was sent out to toy makers, Mattel also got it wrong in their mini Star Wars ship collection.
I'm still salty we didn't get whatever the hell that thing was that piloted the spider tank.
To be fair, they may not have known his name but SM-33 was in the teaser trailer. You would THINK Disney would have shared that information. I am hoping SM-33 will show up in another Skeleton Crew set 2025 (crossing fingers)
There’s no SM33 made by Hasbro for either the Black Series of the Vintage Collection. Maybe Disney/Lucasfilm didn’t let them know how integral the character would be to the story?
I just bought it today and as I was talking to the Lego store employee, he mentioned that ever since the show came out, the set has been so popular and I got one of the last copies they had, really wish it came with SM-33 tho
I think episode 6 may change opinions on this set 😂 hopefully we do get something with SM-33 in future.
After episode five I bought this set because I really liked how it looked in the show… then episode 6 came out and it felt like razor crest all over again😭
Hope they make the episode 6 version
@@swagmix7George Lucas was a merchandise man he would never have blown up the main ship. Another own goal by Disney that will affect toy sales now
@@babufrik8112 I wish we got another Star Wars movie from him😭
I just watched Ep 6. Yea I'll wait before I get this =)
I wondered when this review was going to come out lmao, I bought the set a few days ago about £45 ($50) off, on sale. I've been loving Skeleton Crew and after episode 5 I just had to go and buy it. The minifigure line up is perfect and I think the build was really interesting with it being one big technic frame. The interior is a bit small compared to other LEGO Star Wars sets we've had in recent years at a similar price tag, such as the 2021 play-scale Razer Crest, but overall im loving this set. Thanks for the review David!
Where did you find it for £45?? I found it on sale for about £85 in game but I can't find it any cheaper
If i could get it for £45 i would buy one!!!
Speaking of comparing the Razor Crest to this ship....
th-cam.com/video/3FIK9kQvAV0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=_h2e_kWcq65ZTPJm
I did a comparison review on my other channel of all the hero ships.
@@AqueousYT he said £45 off so thats about £80
@@AqueousYT Whether it's the place they got it or not, I know for a fact that Smyths Toys has it on sale. I saw it the other day (both in store and listed online) for £79.99, which would be the '£45 OFF' reduction they mentioned. That's an almost 40% discount so a little better than Game if you're willing to save up...
Yeah I got this £45 off, not for £45. The price I paid was £80 from the £125 RRP
5:02 I have to correct you there, the playset scale Millennium falcon cockpit can only fit 2 figures, which is still more than this but not by much
Ok due to the recent reveal, how anyone made a custom build to removed the outer haul? I'm assuming it's not possible? More likely for LEGO to release a Onyx Cinder 2.0 with a sleeker ship with the haul bits build on top of it?
Lego, please listen to this person!
that would be amazing
Very solid but yeah SM-33 missing is a big deal because LEGO will never release him so a skeleton crew collection would be incomplete unless there’s a second set which I highly doubt.
Is that a resistance pfp?
What’s the SM-33
@Bowl849 He's a droid character that they found on the ship. He's a really fun character!
@ oh cool
Are you reconsidering that “second set” opinion after episode 6?
I love this set, not only because it's star wars set, but it reminds me of classic space themed lego system :)
Nice review. Lego creating models of Disney series gets me hyped/dreaming/hoping that we could be getting luten's ship from Andor
I think they are just making 1 Andor set and it’s rumored to be Andor’s U-wing a smaller version than the original.
One thing in particular that I like with your reviews is that you do comparison. Keep up the great reviews 🔥
Probably why was released early.
Because if you’ve seen the latest Ep ship looks a bit different now 😌👍🏻
My three boys are watching Skeleton rew together and loving it and my boys WANT this ship now. I imagine as the shows word of mouth builds and kids watch it this ship's sales are going to pick up a TON.
I love this but will probably end up waiting for a discount. The figures are amazing but not getting a 33 figure is kind of disappointing for me. He’s easily a highlight of the show.
I'm glad I got this set back in September and I'm glad the show is so freakin' good. I love the design of the ship and the characters are all excellent, especially Neil. The lack of SM-33 is sorely missed but if the set and show do well, hopefully we can get a 2nd Skeleton Crew set eventually that includes SM-33 and some pirates, like Captain Brutus and space pirate Steve Urkel.
what vehicle would they include him with? im afraid they might do a big version and still leave us without a minifig version
Neel*
As much as 33 is really missing, I'm kinda happy he wasn't spoiled before the show aired (I never watched any promo material, so no idea if he appeared anywhere). It was a great surprise to see him for the first time in the show
one of my favorite sets of 2024. such a solid build that looks great once you remove the stud shooters
They look a little out of place. Futuristic for sure, but not very starwars or realistic.
Well thats not the only thing you'll be removing...
@@gamerboyofficalyt I did a lot of mods that made the top more detailed and tiled off. really makes a big difference, highly recommend.
This needs a UCS set with actual minoring scale
No absolutely not Disney is very hesistant to what they approve of and Skeleton Crew is a show that flopped with Star Wars Fans
No one likes Disney+ Shows anymore ever since Kenobi there has been a dissaponting decline there has to be boundaries into what they can and cannot do
Give it at least 3-4 more years then LEGO would consider
@Silver_007_DMthe show currently has an 80 percent rating among fans.. what flop is that?
@@noname12647 80% approval among a group of 10 people is still only 8 people. Difference between percentage and total views/ reach
@Silver_007_DMnaw i love this show. Everyone loves it lmao
@@floweralligator I wouldn't say everyone...The show hurts Star War more than any other series Disney has made. I have found a way to like every Star Wars series up to SC. Even the Acolyte which once it got to episode 5 it got really good. I just think SC went a little too young with the cast and they are not child prodigies like the Stranger Things cast. In my opinion of course. It feels to me like a Spy Kids movie or like kids walking thru a Disney Ride. The fake Russian accent of the girl in episode 4...I just don't get it. Also, since when are Irish people like the new Bounty Hunter woman in Star Wars? It just feels like it is not in a galaxy too far away which is a problem for me.
Skeleton Crew has positively surprised me. I didn’t watch it for quite a few weeks because I genuinely didn’t have enough energy and I’d felt recent Star Wars content (aside from Andor) had fallen flat.
Andor was so good, but skeleton crew is just ass imo.
Couldn't agree more, I'm 44 and really enjoyed it.
Go it and love it. No regrets. The show is definitely going to be a classic in the future
Great, review. I got it day one just haven't had a chance to build it. Love the show so far!
Honestly, you do reviews in the greatest times. Cuz I really wanted to know if I should buy the Onex Cinder, but now I know it’s a definite yes! Reasoning: love the show; characters; story and the vibe, it’s just a great set.
A well received show, plus a unique new ship = A YES to buy for me...at some point. At the end of the day, interior play space is something to consider for larger UCS sets. A set catered towards kids could have used more play value, but sturdyness in quality of the build was seen as a bigger priority. New and fresh ideas is what keeps lego, and star wars great. Worth the value!
I don't know if this indicates something wrong with me... But my favorite Lego ship designs are the Jakku Quadjumper, Slave I, the Razor Crest and this one, the Onyx Cinder!!! XD They are ships that look so cool in Lego! Also in live action, except for the Jakku Quadjumper, its life was very short! XD But in Lego all these ships look so unique and beautiful!!! :)
I got this on black friday.....best £75 I spent I love it!
Thanks for the great review, I didn't know about this set, until I saw your review. It's definitely something I consider buying. Keep up the great work. Greetings from Austria
They'll probably put out the slimmer sleeker onyx cinder after the episode 6 when they blew the shell off
This is the problem with preempting a show or film with toys without actually getting all the info. This should be released when the show completes, not 4 months ahead of it. Because that is NOT the Onyx Cinder
Some cool play features, but show accuracy lacking, and no SM-33, makes this a definite no-buy.
I built it the other day and it was a fun time building it. With that said the show takes place a lot inside the ship, so would have preferred more interior space and 33. I suppose LEGO didn’t know so much about the show when designing the set.
Honestly I'm glad you did this review because now I am reconsidering my earlier opinions of Skeleton Crew not being a good show. Have not even watched it but am about to binge it tonight. Who knows I may even pick up this set after I watch haha. Thanks for the video, always enjoy your reviews!
You'll have to let me know!
I'm sorry but why would you consider something a "bad show" if you never started it
@@generalobi3669 Idk man Disney has not exactly been giving us anything good lately and The Acolyte really upset me. Sorta turned me off star wars but not lego lol. Plus I simply never got to it and the star wars guys I talked to have not really spoken about the show much.
@@generalobi3669 When I saw the trailer I also felt it wasn't really my style but who knows Ima give it a watch and see what I think.
It’s actually good. It’s has the “80s kid adventure” vibe. And it has a good story and two good mysteries you become invested in finding out about.
We NEED SM-33!
Built this set a few days ago. Thought there was quite a bit of technic at first, but loved the build once getting over that part. Highly recommend the set, looks great on display
Great review! Keep it up & a happy new year 😀
I bought this set back in August don’t regret it at all such a cool set ❤
SPOILERS for Episode 6
I really hope Lego makes the Onyx Cinder after it's stripped off its shell. I was blown away after the kids pressed the hull demolition button and revealed the ship to have this new sleek and refined design.
This feels like the razor crest all over again. The episode it was blown up in called it the same day the razor crest was in the Lego Advent calendar
They better release instructions for an alternate build
It didn't even last 6 episodes what a waste!
They could have made the shell removable and then have the ship itself under it
@ That would be difficult even by lego standards, the ship would probably have to be upscaled dramatically (or vise versa)
I personally Really Like the ship I think it’s one of the best sets for 2024! Especially after the show this ship is a beast! I hope LEGO will take notes and make the “ Newer “ Onyx cinder in the future cause that ship looks so clean looking and would love to have it in LEGO form
It’s a fantastic set. Really enjoyed the build.
I'm really glad you held off on this review for after the first Eps aired. I'm lovinh the show so far, and picked this up at a bargain 50euro off. As you said, bad timing means this is on sale in a lot of places in Europe. i think its a great set. Really enjoyed the build. Minifigures are great in particular Neel, who is deserving of the fan reaction. Think this is well worth getting especially if you find it on sale
Nice set.
It’s because it’s basically two ships!
Wish they made the armour off version a choice with the set. 👍🏻
I got for £80 amazon Uk.
1:42 look at the kids 💀😂
I got this for Christmas it’s the best Lego Star Wars ship
I got it 30% off at a Lego Convention, nice perk of displaying my own MOC. It’s actually a nice Parts pack. I thought it would be more black but it’s actually grey. Finally a nice white hair piece.
SM-33 bumped R2-D2 out of my top three favorite droids. The only droid who tops him is Chopper.
So glad the set doesn’t spoil the twist from episode 6
$140 for lego is fucking insane, I remember getting absolutely massive sets when I was younger for $50
Found it on clearance for 76 bucks. Wasn’t paying 140 for it despite the quality but I’m building it now. Looking forward to the build
Classic sci-fi style ship, good interior, minifigures worth 70 bucks; a very underrated set for what it is.
I don't get the Star Wars line, new Clone Wars sets (okay awesome) but where are the villain sets to pit the good guys against (seriously).
I got it for Christmas, and I couldn't be happier with it. Im disappointed that 33 isn't here but I love the ship
Rare W for the arc170
The Arc 170 playset is not redeeming itself the set is dissapointing and a downgrade
They should've made a UCS Arc-170 but nope we're getting a UCS Jango Fett Slave | which I won't complain but it's for the 2025 May the 4th which is completely irrelevant
The anniversary is 20 years of Revenge of the Sith not Attack of the Clones they should've releases a Jango Fett Slave | back in May 2022 for the 20th anniversary for Attack of the clones
But no we could a stupid Landspeeder that no one asked nor wanted it
@Silver_007_DMThe arc170 is the closest to its canon size it's even been. Even if it wasn't, I would rather have shelf room for more than two sets at a time.
@@cutestcreeper569 Yeah but you can understand that some Collectors want the UCS version too
Unique looking ship especially for Lego. Fun design. Still has room for all included figures… its a good set.
I like the build. Glad I found it for $100, so i got to enjoy the build without being too distracted by the price.
Pretty cool looking ship, but it has barely any room inside to make it a little bit functional. Just putting that lever based exhaust angling operation on the bottom would have been an elegant solution. As always, if I can think of something so basic a solution as that, as someone with next to no technic experience, Lego should definitely have had someone more capable fixing this.
I don't care about the series, so this ship isn't on my radar at all, except for something intriquing to look at for a review. All this does is make me more interested in designing my own ship with that functionality, see if it can be done better. (hint: it can be done much better)
Still, apart from being a little overpriced, this is not as horribly expensive as most SW sets. And with a decent selection of minifigures included, if they'd released it when the series came out, or slightly after, this could have been a small hit if the series took off. Right now, it probably does very little, which is a little sad for such a new theme within starwars, as I do think this is a decent package seeing what is included.
This is a cool set. I'm going to buy it to display in my 5yo's room. This show was the first time he really got into Star Wars. The show was great! What is missing is SM-33! A huge miss by LEGO!
Skeleton Crew was a surprise to be sure and a welcome one. The ship is missing SM-33.
Saw it a store in the netherlands for a €100 before the show started and thought just get it, if the show sucks I'll sell it on the secondhand market. But I'm digging the show so much and decided to build the ship and it did not dissapoint! Love the minifigs and yeah everybody misses sm-33. Lets hope we get him next year!
I got this on the 29th of November (my birthday) so about a week before the show released and I’m so happy I got because I really love the show and set
It’s on sale in the UK all the time, atm reduced from £125 to £80 at some places
Yes, same in Greece
My son really wanted that ship.... Until he saw the latest episode.... Now he wants to wait and see if we will get a different ship. He does love the minifigs. Might have to hit up whatnot for them. 👍
I just watched the show yesterday and I got the set awhile back in a bundle . Looks like I’m keep it after all
It was a fun build. Like you I was disappointed they didn’t include the droid, who is one of the key characters.
After I few episodes I decided to get this one, it also looks nice in a spaceport setting or as a background transporter on Tantooine for example. Well an online retailer in the Netherlands sold em for €99.95 ($105) So that was a done deal for me.
I must say the build was more challenging than most other ships I have build and it first I was wondering how solid it would be since it stays a bit fragile (and I put aside some pins because they keep falling out and you need them way later in the build)
But it looks and feels great in the end.
Needed SM-33 he's part of the ship and my favorite character
Loved the shaping of this ship. I can't help but wonder if the main function could've been done in a lot less space with a few technic axles and gears 🤔
Also, Meijer had it 20% off just before Christmas 😄
after the show i NEED this set 😭
The only reason I’m not bothered that SM-33 isn’t in the set is cause they just have to put him in a future set… and that gives me hope we will have a future set!!!!!
I pick it up day one and I’m in love with the ship
your comparison of the arc170 to the ghost and onyx sold me on it lmao. the arc 170 and c3po to go with my r2 will be here in a few days lol
Got two at my Walmart for $63. Clearance deals were great!
ship needs to be bigger. be nice to fit the whole in the cockpit like in the show. glad you showed what it was like.
This is £124.99 in the UK and I managed to grab it several months back from Smyth's Toys for £80. Not sure if it's still available but that was a wild discount for UK buyers. I think it's a set worth more than what I paid for sure.
EDIT: Just checked, it's sold out online, some local stores still have it at that price so worth checking for my brethren on this side of the pond.
In the uk this set has already been heavily discounted. I managed to pick it up for £85 ($100?). Fantastic set, yeah it would be cool to access the interior better but a great build with super cool minifigures.
The only complaints I have about this set is
-Neil doesn’t have moveable legs
-on the opposite side of the cockpit there’s two panels that can be moved, the top one doesn’t have as many tiles as I would’ve liked
-it’s hard to put figs in the interior but it looks good
-fern’s hair and face doesn’t look like it do me
It’s a 8/10 to me
I got mine just before Xmas cost me £82 over here in uk from Amazon. I found it a little bit off on instructions but that was probably me to be fair. Some of the panels seem a little loose for me and kept off whilst making adhering parts most frustrating. However enjoyed making it up the characters are great and overall build quality is good.
I've seen this set dozens of times in the Lego isle, and tbh never looked at it enough to even recognize what it was. Looked like it belonged with the dark falcon so my eyes justed rolled over it. Had no idea it was from skeleton crew.
So i have a few problems with this pseudo review. One: Him complaining that it can't fit four minifigs in the cockpit when the playscale Falcons can. That is because of the design of the Falcon'a cockpit, and paired with the fact the cockpit looks too big on playscale falcons because theyre only using pieces a size or two smaller than the UCS. The Onyx Cinder does not habe such an easily shapeable cockpit, so Lego would have needed to make a new cockpit piece, AND made it four times bigger to accommodate four minifigs. The cockpit on the falcons look kinda oversized, but doing the same for this set would simply make it comical.
Two: the retractable landing gear. Even the playscale falcons don't have that feature, so of course a playscale Cinder doesn’t either.
Merci pour cet incroyable review
I need more tie in smaller world building sets to build up pirates and foes. I would even take a parents playset! But i really think a UCS WOULD BE IDEAL!
Definitely be picking it up looks ace and awesome mini figs
I bought it to remake it into a Knights of Ren Ship that could fit all the Knights of Ren.
Man I used to watch your channel about 15 years ago or so and I've been watching a few of your videos recently since I decided I wanted to buy a few of the UCS sets since I have adult money now but $140 for this is insane compared to what I remember getting for that price back then haha.
It would be interesting to see with two Onyx Cinder sets how a Moc of the ship would turn out with double the pieces! 🤔
idk about you but i would love to see a UCS set of this ship it would be so good
hope there's another SC set coming and this time they'll include SM-33
140 dollars is insane
Ya? Well here in Canada it’s veered to ludicrous, C$180! 😂
$140 for 1300 pices is really close to that 10c a piece price actually insane for a starwars set this is how they ALL should be priced
I kind of forgot they made this, or that its the ship from the skeleton crew show. Its maybe a bit to clean and they could have had plants or worn sticker detail to make it creepy.
Kind of surpriseing there are no lego skeletons in this set. Since there are dead space pirates on board in the show.
SM-33 missing seems like a big set back he is a big part of the show. I think they could have used K2S0 painted differently.
Definitely not a bad set, I might get it. Do love that its practically a flying fortress with all those guns.
Can't say I've heard of SM-33.
love the set, it sits on my lap when i watch the show, lol. wish it was bigger..but man....cant believe they didnt include the droid! thats a crime!!!
I got it and built it just before the series came out, I love the ship and all the play features. Just gutted that they didn’t include the droid.
honestly good move waiting until now to review
I get everything during the May the 4th Lego special. Everything that releases after, I'll get it the next May. Haven't gotten this ship yet, but I'm going to in a few months.
Funny how Skelton crew got a set but acolyte didn’t, it’s almost like Lego knew it was going to be garbage.
Acolyte needs better writing. But the lightsaber duels were some of the best since prequels/clone wars.
Good point.
Well the Skelton crew is closer to the OT timeline than the acolyte. Even though they did old republic sets but they are very limited. They will make the most money sets base on the prequel and original trilogy because that's what most people are familiar with.
Not sure what a Acolyte set would look like, there was hardly any world building or stand out ships. I would love a master Sol minifigure mind.
@eegernades Not really a high bar to clear in terms of live action but tales of the Jedi had the best we’ve seen in recent years
Ha! I already forgot about the Acolyte!
Skeleton Crew Is Surprisingly Good!
The box art suggested to me that the ship would be black but it appears much lighter grey when built.
