Ask MandR: How is a brand new minifigure’s value determined on the aftermarket? If it was never seen before how does the price get chosen? Love the videos 😊
resellers will charge as much money as they can before people realise they're overpaying a shit load, in which the figures will go down to a reasonable price lol
Ask MandR: I got a 75361 Spider Tank as a birthday preasent, but it is missing a large piece from the first bag and all minifigs including Grogu, do you think that Lego will beleive me?
Theyve never let me down when i requested missing bricks. Dont know about the figs, but theyve always come through with missing bricks. Even in pick a brick orders.
AskMandR: A suggestion for your MandRShop - how about you make and offer printed replacements for stickered parts in 75377 and 75376? Don't you think these would sell well and make so many collectors happy?
Hes said before he thinks there should be one next year in the 20th aniversairy of rots but i would like to hear him talk about it again so i hope your question gets answered 😁
Ask M&R: what are your thoughts on the scarcity of b1 battle droids in sets in relation to the amount of clones we are getting? B1 droids should outweigh the clones. Imagine if every May 4th LEGO made b1 battle droids available on pick-a-brick. That would be a cool way to even out the droid army against the clones. What do you think?
Ask MandR: are you ever going to release the LEGO Rivendell review? I believe you said you'd made or were going to make one shortly before you moved. I know a lot of us are huge LotR fans, and I've been dying to watch your review on it for a year. Week 2 of asking
AskMandR: Now that Lego started putting more attention towards recoloring some of their sets, do you wish that they would also apply this concept to Lego Star Wars, and how would you like them to execute it? (Week 2 of asking)
ASKM&R: Have you ever considered making a "Roast my collection" video series? On the flip side, you could also do a "rank my collection" where viewers could upload a picture to you, and you select about 5-10 each week and either roast it, or appreciate it.
In response to your video from 2 weeks ago regarding the size of UCS sets, maybe LEGO should rebrand them as LCS and then we could have smaller display pieces like an Endor Speeder Bike
Ask MandR: With the Boonta Eve diorama coming out. Would you like to see a Boonta Eve Master Builders Series set come out? Starting grid with the flags and all the pod racers and possibly a bit of the grand stands.
Ask MandR: Again about new UCS Slave 1. What you think about theory that it could appear on May 2025, with Revenge of the Sith UCS set in the fall. It would be 10 years since last UCS Slave 1, so exactly how long it was for the new UCS X-Wing, and it would fit current remakes of old smaller UCS sets in first half of the year, like X-Wing and now Tie Interceptor.
So, I’ve been organizing my parts for the past few weeks, and I’ve realized that I have a lot of off-brand parts. I can usually tell them apart, but it’s near-impossible when it comes to tiles and I want to keep my Lego parts separated from my nob-Lego parts, so I was wondering if you had any advice on how to tell if tiled parts are official or not.
There's a logo on the bottom by the edge, same thing on the inverted tiles that go under plates. If it says LEGO then it's good, there's also usually a quality difference that you can feel. Good luck, I just did this with my collection too!
I’ve read if you put minifigures on those studs with the holes in the middle it will decrease the chances of it damaging the minifigure. Reason being is if you put them on regular studs, the pressure of the closed off stud can cause damage over time, but if you have a stud with a hole it adds more airflow meaning less pressure on the plastic. I don’t know if there’s hard evidence on this, but I do this with all mine.
the whole BNIB box gets to a point where it doesnt matter, so for example something like the UCS naboo starfighter even not BNIB goes for upwards of £2000 on various sites, the bigger thing i think is keep the model fully complete, clean, protected etc, keep the box and manual safe somewhere and then when you come to sell it, it will almost be like new
Lol it definitely doesn’t go for £2000 used it’s cheaper than that still sealed but more to your point the bnisb does matter it matters quite a lot the difference in price is huge
I would wait until next year. It made it's first main appearance in Revenge Of The Sith, and everyone is expecting LEGO to do a big 25 anniversary line next year for that movie. LEGO also loves doing sets based on Kashyyk so there's a good chance that it'll be remade next year.
hi ryan, i would like that lego uses the helmet mold without holes for the ones that don't need them. it is possible because they use them for hunter. would you agree
Ask Mandr: what are your thoughts on the republic bricks situation. He's had many serious aligations against him that seem to be true. I've noticed you haven't had him in a video or reviewed one of his sets and I want to hear your thoughts on the situation.
One time I went to a Lego store on release day, saw the line to get in, opened my phone and bought the sets I wanted in about 2 minutes. Won't be going out for sets again..
Ask MandR: I got the 2016 clone turbo tank as a kid of course twelve yr old me never had thoughts of collecting and preserving my Lego sets now I’m left with a stripped chassis and the wheels, what are your thoughts on rebuilding old sets and what would you recommend doing for finding the pieces needed and getting them
1:21 it’s Interesting that Lego will have a bad and good version of a character on shelf at the same time. I was starting to think that them removing the pupil was because they can’t print it anymore…
I'm not even sure why you would think that. They've been able to print pupils for over 20 years. Don't give them that excuse. This is a multi-billion dollar company and you think that they just magically lost the ability to print pupils after doing it for decades? Come on.
Ask MandR: do you think Lego will potentially do any bad batch season 2 sets in the future or even season 3 featuring crosshairs old armour or maybe even the clone commandos???
@AskMandr. In 1990, I started collecting comic books and baseball cards. About that time, both industries exploded with new companies, producing new cards and new books and flooding the marketplace with product. As a result, prices for everything and value plummeted. So let’s talk about the Mexico factory. Is that factory destroying the Lego mini figure investment business?
Ask MandR: I had just picked up a brand new inbox set 75012!!! And I don’t know what case to get to keep it safe?? What are your suggestions on (sealed set) cases??
Ask M&R: What do you think is objectively the best year for lego star wars so far, also would you consider making a ranking of all 25 lego SW years? Btw love the content
Yeah it's totally better than The Complete Saga, but most LEGO games are. Nostalgia and charm is what carries that game. Both LEGO Star Wars III: The Clone Wars and especially LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker saga are far better.
Ask MandR: Have you bought the pieces for the Midi-Scale Malevolence yet, and can you do a comparison of all 3 Lego Separatist Capital Ship sets? (Week 3)
AskMandR: When do you think LEGO will make an Arc-170 starfighter remake? That ship is just amazing
Next year is 20th anniversary of ep3, let’s hope they do that
Let’s hope that one will appear in bad batch season 3, so they might make one from that
@@Darth_B They already use V-wings so probably not, sadly.
@@ThatRandomCloneTrooper wishful thinking.
Ask MandR: How is a brand new minifigure’s value determined on the aftermarket? If it was never seen before how does the price get chosen? Love the videos 😊
Outside of just saying supply and demand I'm not really sure what other insight I could add to this question. Maybe just talk about Fives sales lol
Fives value after 40 years: 📈📈📈📈📈📈
resellers will charge as much money as they can before people realise they're overpaying a shit load, in which the figures will go down to a reasonable price lol
It’s depends heavily on the price of the set the figure comes in and demand for the figure.
Also how available the set is. Pretty damn simpel.
thought i'd say how much i enjoy your content, you make my day, actually thanks tho just keep doing what you do
Ask MandR: I got a 75361 Spider Tank as a birthday preasent, but it is missing a large piece from the first bag and all minifigs including Grogu, do you think that Lego will beleive me?
That’s how lego customer service works
Theyve never let me down when i requested missing bricks. Dont know about the figs, but theyve always come through with missing bricks. Even in pick a brick orders.
Was the box already opened? They could have been stolen.
Once I was missing a whole set and they sent it no questions asked
Sometimes they dont believe me although I did get a captain rex and admiral yurlaren from it
Looking forward to getting the Sith Infiltrator on May 1st! Thanks for another update video man! 🎉

Hey Ryan, Bad Batch is an absolute banger at the moment.
Thoughts on the show and what you think would make the best potential set for the future?
Ask MandR: Do you think they’ll make another palpatines arrest set? And if you do, when do you think it would
release
Hes said before he thinks there should be one next year in the 20th aniversairy of rots but i would like to hear him talk about it again so i hope your question gets answered 😁

8:31 I was wondering when he was going to set it down.
Ask MandR: Where is Tyler? Is he safe? Is he alright?
Who is Tyler? One of his friends?
@@TheFirstCurse1lifebricks, another Lego TH-camr who has been gone for a while with no reason

Isn’t there gonna be a black falcon?
Ask MandR: if you could pick a new 5 25th anniversary figures for the lineup what would you choose? Can’t use the current 5.
AskMandR: Do you ever wish you would have collected a different theme besides star wars. if so what theme would that be?
Ask MandR: what are your beat pieces of advice for a smaller Lego creator? What kind of camera, mic, editing app do you use?
Ask MandR: I just noticed ANOTHER inaccuracy with the Fives. His comlink should have 8 squares not 6. This figure just can’t help being horrible.
lol I never knew that!
Ask MandR: Is Lego afraid to make sets from Star Wars Visions? I feel like there are a lot of great one and done sets to be made from each episode.
ASKM&R: Have you ever considered making a "Roast my collection" video series?
On the flip side, you could also do a "rank my collection" where viewers could upload a picture to you, and you select about 5-10 each week and either roast it, or appreciate it.
That would be cool to do every once in a while.
I need an updated droid army video now
Is it possible that due to the bad batch episode 7 a commander Wolfe minifig
I graduate college on May 4th, surely a Star Wars day to remember
In response to your video from 2 weeks ago regarding the size of UCS sets, maybe LEGO should rebrand them as LCS and then we could have smaller display pieces like an Endor Speeder Bike
Do you think the 6th 25 anniversary figure could be a new realistic stile Jedi bob
4:10 The real biggest scam is Republic Bricks' mystery boxes, especially now adays
AskMandR: if you were in charge, what figures would you have chosen for the 25th anniversary line up?
you gotta play TCW game, army building levels are insane!

Ask MandR: will you be trying to get the new invisible hand store display I’ve seen it it looks amazing
Ask MandR: Do you think Lego will ever make force ghosts min figs?
Isn’t that a remake of the 1999 Darth Maul?? 25 years? That first awful Sith Infiltrator was my first set.
ASK MANDR: do you think lego will ever put printing on the back of clone trooper helmets, and if so...when do you think that would be?

I wish for a rebel army battle pack not enough love to the rebels.
Great episode as usual Ryan!

do you think we will get any more bad batch sets we still need crosshair in his bb armor especially now that he’s back in it
