WHY can Lego still not seem to give Darth Maul the extended lightsaber hilt when that piece has been around for a few years now? It's even included in this set!
I really like this set! $70 is a bit too much, it should have been $50-55. However it has a great minifigures (that Saw Gerrera is excellent) and the ship itself has a fun play features and nice design. Btw David, it's great to see you again on camera during the introduction and opinion segment in your reviews.
@@flashfire9825 I think it’s the box size that are putting ppl off because Ashokas shuttle has less peices and the same amount of figures and is the same price and no ones Called that a rip off
Darth Maul's eyes were changed to be consistent with the modern LEGO coloured eyes they've been using for a decade now. They've used them across many themes and characters (Marvel, SW, Dune, etc), so it only made sense to update the Sith to be a consistent style
The color of Saw Gererra is way better in real life then what it looked liked in the pictures. I was worried it would be too bright but the green actually looks super nice.
I never understood why we never got Naboo Royal Queen starship but instead always Maul's sith Infiltrator. Also Maul's starship is not in that scene, Naboo's Royal Starship is
Not gonna lie dude, being most excited about the random Minifigure and not the actual set is very telling. Doubt many Lego consumers share the same sentiment.
@@SolidBrixStudios What he means is that the rest of us dont want saw at all, but he is obviously something you personally want and praised the most about this set. You are disconnected from the community like other youtubers living in their own bubble demanding jedi bob sets only they want and jar jar brickheads they only want. This figure doesnt belong here. People actually wanted and still want that padme, build was magnificent, price was great and other figures were amazing. This set doesnt have those other reedeming qualities from the build to the number of figures to the price this is an awful set.
Still awaiting the day for the Naboo royal starship. I doesn’t even have to be chrome, it can be the metallic silver. Either way, we gotta get it one day
The size of the infiltrator is a piss take, sick of these tiny ships costing more than the bigger ships of the past, and not to mention the lack of figures, even if they just threw a watto in with the set it would make me a lot happier but for the price compared to the tantive I would’ve really wanted Padme, obi wan and captain panaka as well, but Lego clearly just half arsed it because they finally made saw gerrara, great figure granted but still not good enough, the extra fig is supposed to be a bonus! Not an excuse to cut corners on a set this drastically
I feel like it's high time we start weighing sets and talking about grams per €, or like... stone/£ or pennyweights/$, because Lego's definitely onto the piece count and is giving us a lot more 1x1s

Why is it that most of these sets this year feel 10-20% overpriced? Like, a 70$, worst version of the Infiltrator, with only 3 minifigs? It doesn't feel worth that. Saw is also way too green.
I feel like these reviewers never REALLY get the “value” stuff with any passion when they’re being sent this stuff for free. All respect to the channel but it’s printing money for talking about a massively overpriced product.
With the cost of living crisis im gonna have to wait till they knock off £10 at least to get this. Will definitely get this eventually. The saw minifig carries
Really well designed set in my opinion but $70 still seems like a lot even for 2024. At the very least give Maul a cape and hood like he has in the scene.
Initially wasn't too happy with the look of the ship on the leaked photos but after your review I changed my mind, definitely looks super detailed and the techniques look fun too, can't wait to build it. Biggest downside for me is lack of 4th figure (excluding Saw), Padme or perhaps some one-off character from Ep.1 would fit perfectly here
I had the original 1999 Sith Infiltrator, my first Bigger Lego Star Wars sets, can't wait to Expand this a little & include the Printed pieces on this from the "99 set. GREAT VIDEO!!!
Naboo royal starship, the main ship in episode 1, never been made, 25th anniversary. Lego team be like, nah sith infiltrator everyone remembers that way more smh
I own the 2011 version of this ship and I’ll say without having this new one in my hands, I think it would have been better to have something between this scale and the 2011 set. Although I do definitely have my issues with that older larger design. It’s a very clean and well detailed looking set.
I like this set! I missed out on all the other sith infiltrators and I was bussing about another one coming out! However I agree it is 10 or 5 over price, a padme minifigure would have made up for that price 😁
Thanks for the nice early review as always! I can't wait to get mine! Great to see they fixed the render color issue on the box but I don't understand why they didn't fix it in their promo images...😅
who thinks smaller is better unless it's oversized (at-rt), the closer the Scimitar is to minifig size the better... Red ceremonial Padme should be the anniversary fig for this set.
@@dinkydoodle8325 but he doenst pay for them, that's a take Jang should have. But this guy gets the sets for free, so why would he want it to he less accurate?
@@dinkydoodle8325 Not really. It's about right, slightly too small, but compared to previous version much closer. Still, this set neeeds more of something, and minifigs would be the easiest choice
@@nihili4196 nah it’s not close. I don’t think you realise how big ships are in the Star Wars universe, think of them like fancy yachts ig maybe haha. They need to have space for people to actually get in and move around all the rooms comfortably. It shouldn’t be crammed and a tight fit just for one minfigure like it’s an escape pod. The Scrimtar is supposed to be 27 meters long so should be lengthwise 15 Darth Mauls across (weird measurement ik lmao). This one is about 7 Darth Mauls long so it’s around half the length it should be so the bigger previous ones were much closer in scale. Generally the closest you get to accurate scale are typically UCS sets if they’re not oversizing everything. But a good example to how much bigger things should generally be is the T6 shuttle. Look at the set and then look at custom ones people are making to more accurately represent the size. It’s massive
I don’t like the negativity that is dominating the AFOL scene but let’s be honest, Lego put Saw Guerrera in here because the value simply isn’t there and they know it. The model is just “OK” and the price doesn’t reflect what you get. No matter the “price per piece”, it’s tiny and doesn’t look better than older models imo.
I’m gonna pick this up along side the Death Star playeset to make a Fallen Order diorama with Saw Guerra, Cal Kestis, a couple rebels fight off troopers
As a die hard Maul fan I feel compelled to buy this, but I won't say its without some disappointment. The scale of the infiltrator is weirdly small to me for the price point, however I love the look of it. Maul needs his hood here....
Lego is really going is the wrong direction with playsets... They are just not fun at all anymore, they not have as many minifigs as before, the ship looks like it was botched, and not very nice to display. Despite everything, the set will sell well thanks to the Saw Guerrera minfig. No purchase for me, between this set and the barc speeder. I really wish Lego would stop focusing so much on UCS and alternative lines like the Starship Collection, brickheadz and 4+. I want them to go back to making good play sets like they used to, and stop making these low quality playsets at unbelievable prices. (Is Lego aware that Maul's ship gets much less screen time than Queen Amidala's? Maybe we'd like a version of her ship after all this time...instead of yet another version of Maul's)
We need more prequel sets to incorporate battle of feonosis and phantom menace. I missed out a lot on that and picked up Lego during the clone wars. I want more of that classic vibe again
I hope that with that Dark Green we can finally get a BoBF dark green Boba Fett. Probably not though. I’m surprised we have never had a J Type 327 Nubian Royal starship.
I feel the biggest miss here is that Maul is presented in his duel of the fates look instead of with the cloak worn throughout the film

Hahaha dude is corporate he wants those free Lego sets
Well that was quick!
70 dollars is crazy
Also, Maul needs to have his hood and cape for this scene……
Can’t help but feel the minifig line up (minus saw) is lackluster, like we don’t have another chance at Watto, Panaka or Shimi for a while.
Padme or Obi are pretty much the only minifigs you could justify missing, since they were the only other characters involved in the scene to extent

I really wish Lego would stop focusing so much on UCS and alternative lines like the Starship Collection, brickheadz and 4+. I want them to go back to making good play sets like they used to, and stop making these low quality playsets at unbelievable prices.
(Is Lego aware that Maul's ship gets much less screen time than Queen Amidala's? Maybe we'd like a version of her ship after all this time...instead of yet another version of Maul's)
The Saw Gerrera figure looks great. It's from his Andor version.
Great review looking forward to buying this.
We need more prequel sets to incorporate battle of feonosis and phantom menace. I missed out a lot on that and picked up Lego during the clone wars. I want more of that classic vibe again
Now we know what shortcomings we need to keep silent about so that they can send you a set for an early review. Thank you!
I hope that with that Dark Green we can finally get a BoBF dark green Boba Fett. Probably not though. I’m surprised we have never had a J Type 327 Nubian Royal starship.
I wonder if this is the most "number of sets to seconds of screen time" ratio we've ever had for a Star Wars vehicle.
I CAN"T WAIT!!! Should have included Shmi Skywalker, no?
