    Is he serious? Mini figures are supposed to be exclusive to UCS sets that’s just one of the reasons why the UCS Gunship had such a backlash.

    • @TheBeastyGerbil
      @TheBeastyGerbil ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, other reviews have pointed out that R2 isn’t exclusive as well

    • @josep1991
      @josep1991 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      That R2 is not exclusive, and he is complaining about the scale wich is absolutely reasonable. They should have included a 4x4 dome head for R2 and then a regular minifig to go with Luke in the stand.

    Nice! This set looks great and after watching this review (and SolidBrix + Brickfanaticks), I think I’ll pick it up. I don’t have one yet and it looks a bit improved compared to the previous version, which I was going to get if this didn’t look more improved.

  • @salvadorcantu7566

    First time I watch a review where I agree with pretty much everything said. Also, I was quite disappointed with the UCS choice. For Episode VI a TIE Interceptor or a B Wing wouldve been more fitting. Hell even a Mon Calamari or a Death Star II in a 200€ price point wouldve turned me on.
    Just glad Im saving some money for the UCS Venator.

  • @williama.leyrer3839

    Nice Review! But, Hmmm, Let me think. I don't currently own a UCS X-Wing and with 7191 at $1500 to $2000 and 10240 at $350 to $600 neither of which capture the true X-Wing as much as the 2023 edition (IMHO) at $240. Yea, I'm going to go with 2023!!!👍

  • @Joramee

    I'm also torn about this one. I don't own a UCS X-WING and would really love to have one, but the design decisions and the slightly high price is turning me off. I agree with all your criticisms. I will wait for the $300 one ten years from now, hopefully they come up with some newer pieces that perfect this model.

    I think this looks great and just bought it after a week of consideration. When you see it next to the old ones, it’s so much cleaner and brings a greater shelf presence. I think the cons people keep mentioning are getting minor. Rampant money printing has created such inflation hikes that we are still getting used to an unfortunate “new normal” for retail prices.

  • @arghjayem
    @arghjayem ปีที่แล้ว +1

    03:33 it s a great figure, but the sides of the helmet are missing prints to match the actual helmet. Which is crazy because we know LEGO can print on the sides of these helmets because they’ve done it in another of the newly released sets, the snub fighter set. The pilot there has the same helmet only in yellow and it has print all over including the sides, unlike Luke’s here.

  • @arniewingco3561
    @arniewingco3561 ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @jaywilliams1289
    @jaywilliams1289 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    With inflation happening everywhere ( not just Lego) I think $240 is not a bad price for this considering you are getting that exclusive Luke Skywalker and more pieces than the other 2 older X-wings. Also I think this new one is LEAPS and BOUNDS better than the first 2 for sure! It's bigger the nose of the ship is bigger and nicer and with a printed sticker on the canopy and the display plaque it is an easy buy for me. Anyone can find some fought with ANY Lego set if they look hard enough so the fact that this set may have some Flawes is totally fine.

  • @coatman9294
    @coatman9294 ปีที่แล้ว

    I already own the previous version of the x-wing (my first UCS model) and as much as I would like to get this one too, I will most likely be buying the UCS models I dont currently have (ie AT-AT walker), and with every other new UCS release being placed above this model in list order to buy.

  • @steves2609
    @steves2609 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Just my .02 cents. Everybody loves talking about price points, and in the same breath want improvements that can be costly in production. Case and point, all the new printed parts as opposed to stickers, which are a pain and look nowhere as good as the printed, new printed detail on the mini figures, specialty pieces like the new curved intake pieces and there are new reverse 4x8 panels to clean up the wings....surprise, these drive design, engineering and production costs. You can't ask for improvements and then say its not worth it since there was a price increase. You want to stay at the $200 price point, don't ask for things that drive price. I am fairly new to collecting UCS and of course I have already ordered this as I am not paying the hefty price of a retired UCS that is actually a bit inferior. Good review, but just a bit nit picky as far as mentioning price. Finally, like it or not, prices are going to increase with inflation, cost of raw materials, employee pay and benefits, and every other cost driver of doing business.

    • @AntBandit
      @AntBandit ปีที่แล้ว

      New molds and prints certainly drive costs higher, that doesn't excuse overcharging for products when LEGO's profits are the highest they've ever been even after they initially raised prices last year. Inflation and costs of production are one thing. Raising consumer prices unnecessarily is another.
      I say this as someone who already gives LEGO a ton of my money, so the decision is up to the consumer to decide which products are and aren't fairly priced for their budget.

  • @SaturnCanuck
    @SaturnCanuck ปีที่แล้ว

    I’m not a fan. The wings suck. Having that gap and them sagging on a model that is $320 CAN is unacceptable! As well, while the engines are bigger and more accurate, the wings are too narrow (wingspan) when you compare with the source model. Check the book! Two nice Mnini-fogs but not worth $320!

    • @Jonbwriter

      Yes, I agree. For that price one could reasonably expect the wings to work a lot better. It's a hard no for me, and I love the X wing. It occupies an honorable place in Star Wars.

    @geoffreytester3815 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I think saying it’s not in proportion for mini figures to sit inside is an un-fair criticism- when to make it so big and detailed is a challenge . Look at the retired ucs star destroyer. And it’s more a display piece, than a toy.

    • @AntBandit
      @AntBandit ปีที่แล้ว

      To clarify, I wasn't criticizing the fact that Minifigs aren't in scale with UCS sets here. Only the fact that LEGO did so by using a Minifig scale R2 when a larger brick-built version would have been more accurate.

    • @ANTHONIMAX
      @ANTHONIMAX ปีที่แล้ว

      It is ironic that in most of the LEGO Xwings, the minifigure fits perfectly, and this UCS set, which is much larger, does not close the canopy piece. I guess that wasn't too much to ask for.

    An X-wing with sad sagging s-foils, a cockpit shaped backwards, a bulky front fuselage instead of the shape-defining sleek one, and a floppy s-foils-mechanism that is sorely lacking thourough engineering to make it robust. I don't know what is wrong with people justifying spending hundreds of bucks on this. Eh - I'll keep on making real movie replika models. LEGO is a great toy concept, but it's really failing at creating movie replikas, especially if you have to pay such premium prices.
