- In 2023 LEGO Star Wars celebrated the 20th Anniversary of The Clone Wars & 40th Anniversary of Return of the Jedi plus The Mandalorian Season 3 & AHSOKA show released! This means we finally saw some LONG OVERDUE LEGO Star Wars sets in a UCS Venator, Tie Bomber, The Ghost, Clone Trooper Helmets, a Super Star Destroyer, and more! While there were some amazing LEGO Star Wars Minifigures in Bo Katan, Ahsoka, the 501st Specialist, & Boba Fett, there were also some that just weren't up to todays standards with Captain Rex, Commander Fox, & Captain Vaughn... all Clone Troopers of course...

I regret not putting the MIDI-Super Star Destroyer at no. 1. It's literally perfect...
except for there not being a minifigure
@@BrickReporter I do not think Midi-Scale nor Helmet sets need a Minifigure.
Lol
👇Lego poggers
hello
Ryan, try not to mention helmet holes challenge [IMPOSSIBLE]
Stay mad
LEGO needs to fix there crap
@@imperialbricks4217their
He mentioned it like once even though most of the times they’re in this wave the clone minifigs are the whole point of the set and the helmet holes make them completely irredeemable. Honestly super reserved review that should’ve shat on the unnecessary design “compromise” more
@@kaleb749why are the helmet holes bad? They look fine
Putting the 332nd battle pack in last is absolutely criminal
Kinda deserved though. The Vaughn figure is terrible in multiple ways (at least 3 details are objectively wrong and would've been trivial to fix if the designers just glanced at a picture of him) and there is the issue of the helmet holes on the regular troopers. Those holes don't ruin the figures for me like they do for some people but they do still look pretty bad relative to what we used to get and are inaccurate when used with an accessory other than the visor.
At least they made the last-minute decision to not raise the price to $27 like they had originally planned, though some countries did still see an increase (e.g. £19 in the UK when the 501st specialists pack was £18) and Walmart in the USA still released it at the original $27 price which also puts the set down for me.
Edit since I forgot to include it: the build itself also isn't great. It's a small and inaccurate rendition of a swamp speeder which we never saw the 332nd use and also never saw in any colour scheme other than grey and red, not the blue used in this set.
@@callumpears1523bruh helmet holes dont ruin the print. Also, Vaughn can easily be used as a normal clonetrooper
@@Theshadow12i I literally did not mention the helmet holes affecting the print anywhere in my comment.
My issue with them is how much they stick out. The bigger issue I have with the new helmet mould though is the ridge that goes all the way around. This was not present on the previous mould and is not a feature on 'real' Clone helmets. If they added the holes but not this ridge I'd be much more forgiving of the new design, and I do believe this ridge is what is actually to blame for issues with the 212th helmet print.
As for Vaughn, you can't use him as a plain trooper due to his rank badge and jetpack prints. Sure, he could be a generic officer (which is what I use mine as) but at that point you're just making stuff up to justify LEGO's poor effort.
@@callumpears1523The ridge is absolutely a feature on real clone helmets (movie realistic style only), that's why it was added. It's just not that big. I personally preferred just having it printed black
@@nanorex_designs yeah I also preferred when it was printed. The main thing for me is how much it sticks out at the back of the helmet in particular.
He even said "Hear me out" on the 332nd Battle Pack 😂😂😂 he knew he was going to trigger some people, including me.

Putting the gunship below the yodas fighter is insane
I'd Say That The Yoda Starfighter Is Good For Army Building.
Btw That First Comment Is a Joke
Ahsoka Ahsoka
It’s a downsized Gunship with half of its mini figures being unacceptably bad. Yoda’s starfighter doesn’t have any such flaws
Nah not really. I'd say putting the bloody venator below the tie bomber is far worse
One suggestion - I like that you put the details in a stripe on the bottom, but it would be good to put the number for which the set is ranked so that we can see it as well as hear it.
Yeah I agree. That would help with the consistency of the video.
plan on adding this next time around, might go with something less distracting and large but this is a great idea! thanks!
I would like the exact title of the set too.
@@prod.vengeancebuddy you arent mandr
@@graydonholowachuk1537 i edited the video
Despite all the controversies with the clones, this year was a great one for Lego Star Wars.
Feels like a lot of the controversies are just ridiculously forced by peeps like Mandr. Like helmet holes are something so insignificant that I only hear from people who have watched these videos first.
Never let Mandr cook 🧑🍳 ever again .
@@stoopidapples1596 exactly!
@@stoopidapples1596hardly, they make the helmets look awful.
Loads of other TH-camrs think the same thing
@@omarbaba9892 Yea, loads of TH-camrs, because they're critics who feel the need to generate controversy for views. Never heard anyone complain about the holes unless they had first heard their favourite TH-camr talk about it first. It's also absurd that for Mandr this is enough to put several sets down a few pegs, but the fact that an entire side of Ahsoka's ship is completely barren is seen as no big deal because "collectors won't display that side" is absurd.
You’re honestly crazy if you think the buildable figures, micro fighters and the 4 plus set are all better than the 332nd battle pack.
Zero minifigs in the 332nd Battle Pack are good to me. 0 for 4. Plus one of them is a named character in a Battle Pack. Pretty clear why I feel the way I do. You obviously don't have to value the same things I do but that's my take.
@@MandRproductions I think that they’re all pretty good, excluding Vaughn, Vaughn is absolutely trash, I’ll give you that. Buttt imo, helmet holes aren’t the end of the world to me on the new clones. Yes, they could look incredibly better design wise, but there really isn’t a great way to make the holes look any better than how they do. If they were to move the hole downwards and completely remove the bump on the side, the holes would look significantly better, but then the visor attachment wouldn’t align properly above the actual visor. So honestly, I think it’s a fair compromise, unless they did decide to remove the holes completely, which would alleviate the problem, but I for one, want the holes to exist on the new clones. I like being able to have the option to customize clones and put different accessories on them, like Lego has always done for clone troopers (for the most part). So imo, this set definitely deserved a lower ranking, it isn’t nearly as bad as people make it out to be. But hey, everyone has their own opinions, that’s what makes everyone different.
One more thing I would like to add, the main build for the 332nd battle pack is actually very solid, as you stated in the video. So honestly, for me at least, the main build being pretty solid should put this battle pack much lower in my personal opinion (as much as the swamp speeder build doesn’t make sense to be on mandalore).
@@MandRproductions I know you’re probably not gonna want to read all that, but I just wanted to get my personal thoughts across lol
@@NovacaineRebelxxthe helmet holes make the clones look like they’re deformed
I personally think the MIDI-Super Star Destroyer or the Emperors throne room are the best sets this year. I also really love the two clone head display sets and of course the ucs venator
never seen a grown man complain more💀
It’s his job bruh
Ikr we finally get another Rex minifig, and he finds away to fuss about it-
Never seen a star wars lego set 💀
Agreed
You would too if it was your job.
don't agree about the 332nd being the worst, but I do agree about it being terrible about the named figure
My thoughts exactly, the 332nd battle pack doesn’t deserve to be put in last. Regardless of what you think about the helmet holes, you do get three great massable figures and one very solid main build. Definitely better than the micro fighters, buildable figures and 4 plus set imo.
exactly the helmet holes aren't that big of deal
@@ezratrstenjak-d1rI agree but the way they mess up the print is frustrating
@@ezratrstenjak-d1rTHANK YOU!!!! People complain about the clone helmets, but not the oversized Chunky stormtrooper helmets
putting 332nd below the mechs is insane
Mechs have good figs, 332nd doesn’t IMO
Bro put the Junior set and the boba fett starfighter over 332nd Battle pack 💀💀💀
Yavin Base above the new gunship? Because of coloring and helmet holes? You've lost your mind.
What the buildable Chewbacca was better than the 332nd battle pack?? Disagree but I respect your opinion.
No you’re doing it wrong, call me names and threaten me! Try again! 😂 jk thanks for the comment!
“IKEA astromech” still busts me up. I agree on the Ghost, but I’d have but the Venator higher, but I wanted the Clone Wars version over Episode III. They really could’ve done Rex better. Cloth capes isn’t be much to ask for in a UCS set.
But the venator is the clone wars version tho lol?
Venator at number 6 is your worst opinion ever, by far. But it's your opinion at the end of the day
I’d have had it higher if it was the version of Venator I liked more and the Rex was actually a UCS quality fig, just thought there were 5 better sets for me.
The worst one was the UCS gunship at last place in 2021 😂💀
Glad you put the Tie Bomber so high. It's always been one of my favourites from the films and to get such a great lego model was amazing. I've seen it on sale for months so i dont know how well its sold, but glad to see you call out how great it is (even if I agree the 40th anniv brick makes no sense).
The tie interceptor vs Fang fighter was my favourite set of the year
First starwars set I bought since the hoth battle pack lol
Lmao
Lego Star Wars had lots of ups and downs this year. HOWEVER, I feel like the most well-rounded set this year was the Ghost & Phantom
Before I finish this, I’m voting on the gunship, we haven’t had one on 10 years of play set scale, and it brings new clones to LegoStar wars, I find it’s a great set, even if there’s a few little downsides like lack of play features, but I love it, it looks great for a decoration!
Nice, some1 who appreciates the gunship 😄
I haven’t put mine down 😅
So I’m thinking about getting one and I know they will fix misprints, did the Fox chestplate ever get fixed or no
@@SeaweedBrainCabin3Not that I know of.
Gunship is better than most off these sets
The actual crime of putting the Venator below the Ghost purely based on a mini-figure choice :( I understand the bias, but its objectively the ugliest ship out there
It wasn't purely based on the figure, as I explained the style of Venator they chose I find to look worse than the ROTS style.
It feels criminal to not put the Venator is number 1
$2'700+ for these sets? Even with the GWP this is pure crazy 🤪! And not cool crazy, but 🤮💩👎!
im litterally at 0:00 and if i hear smth about helmet holes i swear to god
13:31 OH MY GOD I CALLED IT I KNEW HE JUST COULDNT HELP HIMSELF
Personally i think the mechs are worse than the 332nd battlepack but the low ranking is worth it. I bought 5 of the of 501st and have 3 of the new specialist one, and planning on at least 1 more, but I just can't get behind getting a bunch of the new 332nd. I'll probably only get 2 to have a decent squad
The Worst to First video format and editing really feels like it's improved a lot! Great job Ryan, (and yeah, I love these types of videos)
20:45 I LOVE THAT CLONE TROOPER
It’s not my favourite in the set. I’m still choosing between it and the clone specialist
Making a name character in a battle pack it’s just wrong
It’s definitely been a great year for some great ships!
Nah I disagree 332 battlepack is one of the best sets of 2023 and even better than the 501 Specialist in my opinion And this set shouldn't be in the last one because there are much worse sets above this battlepack
Why is it better than the Specialist?
@@MandRproductionsWell I have 4 boxes of the 501st specialists and I don't think I need an army of several heavy Troopers or snipers compared to the 322 which the vast majority are generic troops and easier build an army Although Captain Vaughn should be in the bigger set and I really wanted him to have an exclusive helmet too but that's just my opinion
The quality of your videos have really improved the transitions and displays are so clean.
The dark saber actually did come in a Lego set before, notably the pre vizla fighter set
Pretty sure he meant the actual angled saber piece rather than the old black tube in that set.
Boba mech is easily the best. The fig is one you’d get in a ucs set
Edit: haha lol you agree. It truly is one of my fav figs of all time
Hwo let bro cook?
Bro burnt down the kitchen
I think the 332nd battle pack should be higher, the helmet holes aren’t all that bothering to me at all.
On god
what
That's you then. A lot of us hate the helmet hole phase II helmet. And Captain Vaughn both shouldn't be in this set and looks horrible.
I don’t mind the helmet holes either
@@TheFirstCurse1 ´´a lot´´ hahhah
Bruh..... how is venator not first. Not a very good justification
Because I thought some other sets were better
Huffing nonsensium 1 minute in
I have to say I seriously can't agree with your ranking. That's okay. 🙂Personal taste.
If we went 30 for 30 the same that’d be pretty wild lmao
I personally have a problem with the gunship when ever I touch it it breaks a lot can anyone else relate or tell me how to fix this problem
calling fox one of the worst clones ever is absolutely insane
It literally is. I would know.
We'll never forget what happened to Fives
As an adult with kids and finite space, the midi scale is perfect for me. Hope to see more of them. I can actually afford to collect them and have space to display them.
For me the 332 battle pack is much higher
I have huge hopes for a Jedi Temple after we got Yavin 4. I’m not hanging them too high, but using this style for a Jedi Temple would be amazing if it’s done correctly
Overall The Rivendell set is da best of 2023 Great video as always
What you smoking Ryan? NO way the 332nd battlepack is the worst set of 2023......eh the big Chewbacca for one 👋 far worse!!!
It’s got 4 bad figures and is a conceptually bad Battle Pack. Therefore it’s the worst to me. I don’t love Chewbacca either but the fig in it is top notch and the build other than the face is fantastic IMO. I respect the opinion of course but disagree.
It is a shame about the lackluster cpt Vaugn but the other 3 clones are pretty good. Only the helmet holes which I personally don't mind are the only flaw. Decent swamp speeder build too. Not a top tier battlepack but not worst either. Thanks for the reply and explanation regardless still a big fan from 🇮🇪

We should have gotten rick the door technician
With the Captain Vaughn they needed to either make a good Vaughn or just don't include him at all. They arguably went with the worst option by going in the middle of the two.
Great video Ryan been a fan since Awhile Keep up the good work :D😁
Thank you!
Your welcome :] thx for so much great videos :D@@MandRproductions Also MERRY CHRISTMAS :D
Me having this set and not realizing till now I put the wrong body on Vaughn.....
Definitely the venator and i feel like thorn would be a nice inclusion in the gunship
"Size is a big problem for Lego collectors" What are you saying? 🤨
nit picking everything.... no wonder lego is cheaping out on star wars theme.
Yeah, I think you're right on regretting not putting the Midi-ISSD at 1st place.
That's where I'd put it. And I'd have put the Throne Room Diorama in 3rd place with the TIE-Bomber in 2nd place...only because LEGO insists on using that new garbage molde for the Emperor's "hood" that looks more like he has a shower towel draped around his head.
The UCS Venator is a nice 4th place in my book mostly because I think it's a bit overpriced and it's a The Clone Wars set, which is something I really couldn't care less about. It'd be higher if they had made it either a Republic Venator or an Imperial Venator as seen in Revenge of the Sith.
The Ghost would be a comfortable 5th place to me.
Imea astromech droid 😂
The 332nd trooper I mixed up Vons chest with a different characters torso
Having the throne room diorama over the Venator should be a crime
The throne room is almost perfect though. Meanwhile the Venator has a bad Captain Rex minifigure. The only bad thing about the throne room is Palpatine's face.
@@TheFirstCurse1 Rex is awesome - such overblown tripe.
@@Montyh7 His helmet holes are in the wrong spot, his rangefinder sits too high on his helmet, his shoulder pad is too large (and they make a smaller version too), his ammo pouch on his chest is too big, and he has a printed waistcape.
He's pretty horrible. Better than the old phase II cursed Rex without the rangefinder, but still horrible.
@@TheFirstCurse1 Wow, imagine being so confidently wrong.
@@Montyh7 Explain to me how all of those problems make Rex a good minifigure. Please. I'm genuinely excited to hear you desperately try arguing against the many flaws in it's design.
IKEA astromech 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂😹😹🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hate that the Clone sets could’ve all been top 10, but LEGO making stupid decisions just killed them, especially the Gunship and Fox
For real. It's so many simple to fix mistakes. And I'll get endlessly hated on for pointing it out lmao screw em.
@@MandRproductions r/legocirclejerk fuming at the sight
@@CanadaBricksthat subreddit is so unbelievably dumb. 90% of them are just Lego meat riders
With the USC name plates, the plastic molding system lego uses requires those marks to remove them from the mold. It needs to be in a particular spot as to not break the price during removal. Putting it on the back would interfere with the brick connection system, it could also break the piece if placed on the back.
Personally I love that UCS Venator, looks awesome.
Putting the ___ in ___ is absolutely ___
ok the battle pack was worse than the mechs?
Mechs had good figures.
I don’t get why people complain about the venator it’s not supposed to be ROTS it’s the yularens flag ship from the clone wars hence the red bridge
@@Mertonhanks49ers fair enough lmao
The Venator was such a blessing
The Rex however 😬
@@MandRproductions… Is amazing lol
@@MandRproductionsIt's awesome, i know.
@@dannyiel0618it could have been better assuming they made a new mold for the $650 dollar set and also include a printed Kama
@@frost973 Well I think that their should be kamas and there is no excuse, but I think that the main focus of a UCS set is the build, not to say that you can’t enjoy the figures. However I don’t think that a decent figure warranted such a bump down on the list. But this is my opinion and you can have your own as long as you’re not hurting anyone :)
This guy should not be allowed to have an opinion
Interesting opinions - they don't remotely align with mine, but interesting.
The Executor Super Star Destroyer is also a good way to get the parts to form a miniature Imperial Venator, if you’re willing to rely on fan-made alt build instructions.
I totally agree about the Executor. It was a fabulous set and I love having it in my collection. It really could have flipped with the Ghost in your list. I love both the sets. Love these kinds of videos.
I think it's been a good year! Can't wait to see what 2024 brings!!! 🤩
@MandRproductions Love how you expose ALL of Legos false advertising issues and ALL bad things about minifigures and sets. Lego is way to expensive and mistakes like this shouldn't be tolerated. Even worse - similar laziness extends to other themes as well - just look what they did with Majistos workshop or Orient Express for example. Slowly but surely profit is going to go down - from me at least, because I Refuse to buy garbage. And let us not forget: ONLY THE BEST IS GOOD ENOUGH. Keep up the great work Ryan🌟👑💎
Jedi temple is by far the worst set of the year
Could you start makeing a video series on what lego sets to invest and what is good discount?
Great idea
Lego investing is so cringe
@@majorastormhow?
God I wish they make midiscale models of all the capital ships, they would be so cool
Hello
You Americans are really lucky that the Venator is only $650, here in Australia it goes for $1100!
Ryan is such a hater it’s insane 💀
What you do for the guard gunship is you unattach the clip above the door when then you can fit your hand in more.
My number 1 set for this year is the Emperor's Throne Room diorama. I love how clean it looks, and it's such an iconic scene. The 1 downside is that Palpatine's eyes look horrible. I'm going to have to buy another Palpatine head and replace it.
I love these worst to first videos so much. I watch them all the time! Can’t wait for 2024 lego Star Wars.
Mandr: 332nd battle pack bad. Me: have you herd of something called ✨customizing✨
not everyone has the parts to customise.
Hey MandRproductions, I just want to thank you for making such nice an welcoming lego star wars videos, I just want to say that I have appreciated your videos this year.
i have that tie-bomber
If I had a nickel for every time M&R mentions how bad the helmet holes are, I'd be richer than Bruce Wayne, which is a lot, and it's weird how this happened so many times.
LEGO keeps putting them in sets and keeps making bad clones it sucks all around.
@@MandRproductionsI love it when you complain for me. I don’t get why everyone hates you complaining about the helmet holes cause it just gives us a better product
Not sure if you’ll have time for this but doing the best minifigure of 2023 would be cool, either for just Star Wars or u could do all themes just the most detailed accurate best looking figs of the year
I agree! Amazing year and just hope Lego keeps at least at this level!
So many awesome sets! I definitely would have the UCS X-Wing as a top 5 along with the UCS Venator.
The Ahsoka sets are so good.
The Tie ships and Super Star Destroyer are some of my other favorites from the year.
I legitimately forgot the buildable chewy even existed
LEGO: *puts named character in a $20 battle pack*
Any LEGO Star Wars “fan”: GRRRRRRRRRRRR, HOW DARE THEY PUT A DIFFERENT CHARACTER IN A BATTLE PACK🤬🤬🤬
I would love for Lego to release a UCS Super Star Destroyer in 2024. I missed out on the first 1 because I had a new baby and wasn't able to pick it up. So I would love to be able to add 1 to my collection and the mini scale falcon and the Neb B I haven't picked up yet but I can find those fairly easy and plan on those. I agree with your list and placement. The number 1 and 2 spots would have been the hardest to place with both of the sets being easily a number 1 set of 2023.
The Throne Room is way too high 😂 such a mid set for me. Definitely overpriced
Im not usually one to gripe about how figs look at all bc idc, but man oh man. The fox is just an absolute abomination. Not to mention the chest on mine is EXTRA translucent. Also, what was stopping lego from making a 10 piece slide out rack with extra stud shooter ammo in the front compartment of the gunship. Like cmon now who let them release it just empty?!
honestly thought 2023 was a pretty good year for lego starwars
Damn. Realisation hit me when he said the 2013 x wing was 10 years ago
I actually like the Darksaber. Always a upgrade from the normal black saber
Hot take on the gunship huh 😅
Didn’t really say anything I didn’t say in my review.
I love your videos!!!
Solid list. I definitely need to pick up the Ghost at some point. I will say for me personally I enjoy the Spider Tank a whole lot more than you did. The legs are so satisfying to move around.
I believe I’m getting the Coruscant Gunship for Christmas and when I do, I’ll be giving that Fox minifigure all the love it hasn’t been getting because of people like Ryan complaining about inaccuracies.
Update: I did receive the Coruscant Gunship for Christmas and I am in fact giving Commander Fox the appreciation it deserves.
