The trash compactor was my favorite, I’m glad I bought it. The price didn’t bother me too much but I can understand why most people say it’s overpriced, because honestly it is truthfully.
As someone who’s worked with pad printers that printed in shapes very similar to the R2 dome I can testify that it’s pretty impossible to fix the variations in printing. They are really tricky devices when working with off shapes like that.
Awesome to hear that perspective, it’s easy to say “that should be fixed” without actually realising how hard something is to fix/ if it’s even possible
@@wizardscottie I’ll go into detail a bit more. A pad printer is basically a spongy rubber tip that is applied with a specific pattern which has glue applied to its this enables it to pick up inc on the designated pattern and press it against whatever is being printed. For something like R2s head, the pads would have a hole in the middle as to not get damaged / put unnecessary pressure on the stud on top. As the pad goes down and presses itself onto the pieces it’s going to naturally shift in one direction due to the circular opening making uneven contact. The piece is held in with little friction so it can easily be put in and removed since mass production tends to move fast. This means it isn’t perfectly aligned which also leads to the offset print. There is literally no way around this using pad printers in a mass production setting. By hand with love and care you can get a straight print but I mean with how many of these do they make per year I doubt that is the case. For context I worked with a certain medical filter which was coincidentally about the same shape as the R2 dome, a curved surface with an extruding tube in the middle about the width and height of a stud. Also unrelated but pad printers are probably there most annoying things on the planet. If you ever work with one you will understand why Lego and many other products have flaws like this.
It's because MandRproductions is a manchild that complains about things he generally doesn't understand, and nit-picks specific things he would like from a literal childrens toy and has a meltdown when his unrealistic expectations don't come true. He's a freak.
R2 could have a new mold one day where the head connects to the body by using a black technic pic the connect it internally-allowing the head to swivel.
One minor complaint is why are these diorama boxes the thumb-tab variety? I much prefer the cleanliness of slitting tape on the side rather than ripping glue for sets over $50
Lego retailers were sending complaints about resealed boxes. Part of the reason why figures are divided into different bags, boxes are glued and box flaps / display trays are gone.
@@fenyx044 Yeah, the reality is that LEGO probably won’t make any prequel dioramas anytime soon… but here’s hoping that either we’re wrong, or that they’ll realise there’s demand for prequel sets in the nearish future.
Hey mandr, isn't it interesting that lego recently partnered with Hasbro to make the Optimus prime set. I say this because, if they're willing to partner with hasbro to make this, shouldn't they be able to also finally make a star wars cmf line? Since before they said they "can't" make one because it would violate Hasbros contract or something, but now they're working with them
the designer of the Optimus Prime set used to work for Hasbro doing Transformers, so that's likely part of what contributed to that. additionally, Transformers is a completely different IP than Star Wars, so it's still unlikely that Lego will make Star Wars CMFs.
Hasbro owns the Transformers brand so they can make money off the Lego set by licensing it to them. If Lego made a Star Wars CMF series (ultimately being an action figure line in a way), it would directly rival Hasbro's action figures which they have the "action figure" license for. Hasbro wouldn't be able to make money off of Lego's product and a Lego Star Wars CMF series could only be a loss for Hasbro.
Definitely agree with the trans green tiles. I was not looking forward to putting all those tiles down but really the harder part was the plates in the step before. Those were much harder because they were spread out. After that, it was just filling the left over space with tiles.
I strongly agree with what you said about the cauldron and Yoda's interior of his hut, I kept knocking it out too and I noticed the roof was a bit of a weird build too, but overall a great set I have to say
Just finished building this set, and I'd say the bigest pain point was all the 1x1 transparent green, but love the circular transperent green for texturing in the swampwater part of it.
Lego prints Astromechs Heads the same way I apply most stickers. Great set. Recently saw it on display and it’s the only set of the three in slightly comptenplating
I liked the overall look but yeah, bag 3 was a nightmare to build. The one thing I don't like is the size of the hut. I would have preferred the hut to be at least 2 studs bigger to at least be in scale to Yoda himself. As it is, I don't think displaying it with the minifigures is a good idea. I removed mine into a display case and decided to display the set without minifigures. My favourite diorama remains the Death Star trench run one. I still think all 3 of them are overpriced. But I've got this one with a 25% discount and the trench run with over 50% discount, so I can't complain so far 😅 (I won't buy the trash compactor until I find similar deals).
I’m glad you mentioned how you don’t read the introduction pages on the 18+ sets. I don’t read them either, and I’m inclined to believe this is more widespread than people talk about
Hey Ryan, I recently heard this quote from a retired auto exec and it made me think of The Lego Group. “Lasting success is built on excellence. Excellence of service and excellence of the product. If you don’t have that, you don’t have anything and all the marketing in the world can’t overcome product deficiencies.”
Wasn't so sure on these. Saw all 3 sets built in a Lego store and I was shocked how this is was my favourite. Likes looks better in person, but my god all them greens in bag 4 😂
Surprisingly this Luke actually has an exclusive torso and legs that are unique to this set. Just when I thought I could skip this one since I have the other Yoda's hut set.... Smh
In terms of pieces, the next largest Star Wars set after this is both versions of Kylo Ren's shuttle. Both the 2015 and 2019 versions have 1,005 pieces, only five more than this set.
Doing all that green drove me nuts because it’s all single stud squares and the packaging was screwed up in that I was missing 3 smooth squares and had 3 excess 3 single stud squares. Every big Lego Star Wars set I’ve bought this year has had a screw up in piece count one way or another. And yet, I am glad I got the diorama sets, they’re big yes, but still small enough it’s easy to find space to put the on my shelves
My favorite is definitely the Dagobah diorama. However, I agree that all of them are overpriced. I picked up this one as well as the trash compactor set for May 4 as the price together got me the homestead kitchen set which kind of justified it for me!
Yeah, they're all a bit overpriced, but if you really like one it's not so bad (mine is trench run) but maybe this is the beginning of future inflation with Lego.
I got Dagobah and the Trash Compactor, at first Dagobah was my favourite but I really love the style and colours on the compactor, both amazing sets but could do with £10 off each set maybe
Get your security connected with that new ride mic you bought. It’s great for interviews or two man videos. The tipper truck army is over 17000 pieces. Maybe I need to go for 24000 and turn it into a clone trooper
Off subject, but. Check out these ideas for the 2nd wave of Star Wars helmet set. As mentioned before Anakin's pod racer helmet, Kilo Ren's helmet, chrome phasma helmet. The new order stormtrooper helmet, and again. The disguise helmet that Lando calrissian wears during han's rescue from Jaba's palace.
This is without a doubt my favorite of the recent 18+ sets. Bought this a few days ago(along with a few other things) to get the Lars’ Homestead promo, and I can’t wait to build it. It’s a little pricy, but I love the way it looks. Would love an Endor, Mustafar, or Nabu set in this style
@@comebackguy8892 Well, they want it to look good lol. Sometimes the best look isn’t 100% accurate. I mean, it wouldn’t look nearly as cool if the water was dark brown 😂
@@comebackguy8892 Well, I was joking when I said dark brown, to get the point across. But regardless, I definitely wouldn’t have used blue. The water is pretty green, it’s a little darker and less shiny, but Lego can’t really help that
@@Jay-Zech That would look way more realistic. But what they should have done is having a bunch of dark clear pieces on top of a bunch of dark green pieces. Hence making look like dark and disgusting water instead of slime.
I need help deciding on which yodas hut to get. Should I pay $65 for a 2018 one as a play set or pay $15 more for this as a display set. I like the look of this one more but I don’t like how small the door is.
Man I would love this set for display. I love Dagobah. It's one of my favorite Star Wars planets. My only issue is the White "smoke" coming out of the hut. It looks kind of dumb and sticks out like a sore thumb.
Mandr I got a 200 buck budget I’m looking at the gaurdians ship the no way home set with dr strange mj and Wong. The Star Wars sets I’m thinking about are the play scale AT AT and the upcoming at te obi wan star fighter and cad bane shuttle. What should I get
Went insane looking for my speaker remote after watching a Solid Brix studios video to then coming to this one.. still hear the ringing in my ear 🤣 (good diorama tho)
What is your favorite of the 3 2022 Diorama sets?
This one. And it’s not even close
Dagobah is the only one that seems nice IMO, Death Star trench run is *just* ok and the trash compactor is not good at all
Probably this one although I do like the trench run
The trash compactor was my favorite, I’m glad I bought it. The price didn’t bother me too much but I can understand why most people say it’s overpriced, because honestly it is truthfully.
i think this is the only trully good diorama set that i could see myself buying
The little part of the X-Wing sticking out is probably my favourite part of the set. Also, it’s weird to see a set with exactly 1000 pieces
Why is that weird??
@@harrygeal2819 Because 1000 is a clean number, usually a set would be something like 976 pcs or 1043 pcs
See I don’t like wing for some reason. Maybe it’ll grow on me haha.
I don't like the wing, as to me it should be build more into the set instead of hovering over the water.
I absolutely agree

People steal lego bag from boxes. The tape makes it easy to peel and reseal. The thumb tab prevents people from returning the box as “never opened”
