Scalpers punching the air right now
Definitely some dude out there crying who has amassed hundreds of Rex’s
I think I'll buy one (and open and build it like a normal person) just to spite the scalpers.
@@Ky-xm7tc Haha, sucks to them!
I just saw someone post the figure on FB marketplace 3 days ago asking $100 and I so badly want to make a $10 offer on it and send a screenshot of this box art
Good.
$13 Rex is a W, no matter what you tell me

@Brodyk923 Hey Brody! I appreciate that response. However, I don't think too many people will agree with that statement.
@Brodyk923?? Wdym
@Brodyk923 I’ve never threatened anyone in my life ;) group chats?
@@BrickReporterbro what is this guy on about 💀😂
Remember when fans asked LEGO for 10 years to make an affordable Phase 2 Rex, and then they finally went and made an affordable Phase 2 Rex with this set?
LEGO SW fans don't want good things. They want others to NOT have good things.
Well this figure is crap. But lego literally said the figures were exclusive. They could’ve slightly changed the figure, but lego doesn’t care
@@Rounderyathecruel the venator owners still have the admiral that came with the set though
People have only been asking for this for a few years.
Until 2020 when covid hit Rex was actually pretty cheap and easy to get.
@@cherylbomb1138false statement still, both minifigs are stated as exclusive
Honestly, it’s just nice for the first time in lego history to have Rex be available for less than $50-200.
To be fair, 2013 one was in a $30 set
It’s not the first time, he’s appeared in like 4 others older sets.
The 2013 one was originally in a $25 set
@@cjheumiller6311 You might want to do your research, the only sets to feature a P2 Captain Rex minifig was the BARC Speeder with Sidecar (75012) which released in 2013 for around $25-30. Up until then he has not appeared in any other set until the recent UCS Venator (75367) which is of corse $650. So up until now, this is the first time a Rex figure has released in a very long time thats not inaccessible as the 2013 Rex goes for $120-200 normally.
Figures, my favorite destiny youtuber likes Lego star wars as well. We are brothers now.
If you bought a $650 set for the mini figure and not the model itself, that’s on you. On top of that, the LEGO scalper and investment market has started to ruin the hobby, especially with Star Wars. I applaud the LEGO group for taking a very, very beloved character and putting him in the most accessible set possible for all fans. Any kid can now grab Rex for some allowance money and I plan on getting a couple to have Rex in my displays
You shouldn't honestly buy a $650 set just for one minifig. I always buy a bigger set only when I like the build and the minifigures are good too.
completely agree, and at the day lego is primarily a toy and is only really considered collectors because the sets retire after a few years.
I don’t think anyone is upset Rex is available for cheap. It just shouldn’t be the exact same. Even if it’s just the bandage on the head it should be a little different. As many ucs sets have exclusive special versions of minifigures
So in my opinion, whoever thought back then, hey, I'm now buying the €650 Venator just because of Rex Phase 2, was just stupid in my opinion because it was clear that Lego Captain Rex Phase 2 was in again will release cheaper sets.

As if Rex is the only minifig like that. Oh the horror, people sell LEGO minifigs. Rebels Ahsoka, Queen Amidala, P1 Fox and Rex, Pre Vizsla, Jango Fett, Zeb, Tarkin, Agen Kolar, and the list goes on. Spare me the "for the kids" spiel. If it mattered none of the figs I mentioned would be over $100. It's ridiculous that a piece of plastic reaches those prices. Also the Rancor for that matter. Utterly ridiculous. If LEGO really cared about the kids they wouldn't be pushing those 4+ sets for $50+. I mean hell, that C-3PO is locked behind a $240 paywall. I'm sure kids like him too. And if the argument is that there are many variants of that minifigure then they could have done the same with Rex, like keeping the printed arms exclusive to the Venator. P2 Cody doesn't have printed arms and he's in a $140 set. For the kids, ROFL!
I think the fact people are losing their minds about not being able to scam people over a little blue guy is absolutely hilarious
Cheaper Rex is a massive W
Scam ? Lego is the scammer selling it as exclusive at first lol then lying. No one forces people to buy the minifig for scalper price only idiots
collecting exclusive items and then trading them is not a scam. No one is forcing you to buy overpriced figures. you people are so jalous. Lego lied in a first place, which is disrespectful to their fans. They could’ve easily release totally new Rex, detailed, well made, just little different and everything would be fine. But for some reason they decided to screw with the collectors. I wouldn’t wonder if they now see decline of interest in UCS sets because of moves like this.
@@rawwadyeah, these people really don’t know that voluntary exchange is not a scam
@@rawwad Excactly these people like kissing ...... to lego. These same people that say its a scam will buy 10 of these cheap to scam others down the line years later. If they really wanted a rex, they could buy a cheap knockoff.
@@Christian-wi6hn@Christian-wi6hn By the logic of those people, we should never have exclusive minifigs. They might as well remake everything because it's a scam, lol.
"It's exactly the same"
My two cents: GOOD. Dont keep figures behind a ludicrous price tag.
they shouldn't have put the Rex in the UCS set in the first place
@@voydkidWhy not?
@@Mike-sp7zv watch the video, he explains why
@@voydkid I think no figures should've been in the ucs. But it's a certified womp womp moment.

Lego said it is ending the era of UCS exclusive minifigures, as those sets are about the building experience. They also went on confirming that these minifigures will on the long run be accessible for the wider audience, making them exclusive only temporarily. Given the popularity of the minifigure, to me it makes perfect sense, and am happy to see more people being able to get a hold of this beloved character in Lego form.
That era has been long gone (republic gunship, imperial Star destroyer, etc etc)
In my opinion they should still include minifigures but not any newly made ones just minifigures which are relevant to the set for example if they ever make a republic fighter tank UCS set it should come with enough troopers for a tank crew for display and like I said they should be already existing figures and not new designs
Imagine after the rex micro fighter they release a admiral yular venetor microfighter
It wouldn’t even surprise me, Lego loves to screwup SW fans all the time
Love that, just rubbing salt in the investment bros wounds
or a new Venator playset with both Rex and Yularen
Really hope they do to stop all the duche bags who buy sets just for a minifigure! Pathetic
One of my favourite star wars characters, finally affordable after soo long.
True.
“A long time I have waited for this moment.”
Mine Too :-)
Investors were actually delusional thinking that the most popular clone trooper in the history of Star wars wasn't going to get another minifigure. It reminds me of that controversy when they released that boba Fett the last year as well. This is a toy manufacturer making Star wars toys, Of course they're going to keep making the most popular characters
i never had the chance to own a rex minifigure because the sets were so expensive. I made myself a custom one with blue markers. finally my childhood dream can come true at a resonable price
wdym the first phase 2 rex was in a like 25 bucks set, that is not really expensive compared to the other sets with him
@@iovyz7511 maybe he began collecting lego star wars too late. Same for me too.
@@FlopFlop3610 Can't speak for others but where I lived there would only be one shelf of Lego at a Toys R Us 30 minutes away which rarely got updated and was mostly Ninjago/Marvel/City and expensive sets so all these smaller licensed sets got skipped over
@@randam1005 uh well all i can say is bad luck :(
i kinda collected them from an early age. somehow i didnt know that set existed. never saw it in stores, or in lego cataloges. maybe they didnt brougth many of those into my country and they were all bought shortly after. i learned about that set much later when it officially retired
Nex one. Admiral Yularen microfighter.
Admiral yularen venator microfighter
@@Atamatchstixyou’re right. So much better. 😂
I agree with David that Rex shouldn’t have been in the Venator and just included in the micro-fighter. (Would’ve avoided a bunch of controversy.) Honestly, while getting an Anakin and Ahsoka in the UCS set would’ve been great, the Admiral Yularen is the only exclusive minifig the set needed.
If so there shoudlve been a normal y wing
Rex, ahsoka and Anakin, should have all been there with yularen
LEGO just had to avoid the word "exclusive" when describing Rex on the Venator.
@@sublimchu877 I am pretty sure if they didnt use the word "exclusive", alot of people wouldve skipped the venator
it honestly ridiculous that anakin doesnt come with the set. it's literally HIS capital ship, the Resolute. he should come with the damn set, even if its not a new version of him/exclusive.
i can hear the scalpers and investors crying out in sorrow that they can't sell captain rex for the price of a kidney and I love it
That's exactly why you should't never take a huge risk in anything you do in your life in a case like this happens and you just loose your money and the precious time that you will never get back from it.
they’re already panic selling their rexs everywhere lol. even the man baby you tubers are throwing a fit its truly glorious
That's best feeling, I can't even explain how happy I am for those scalpers and resellers losing their money. Getting phase 2 Rex is fine addition tho.
I am going to unblock MandR momentarily just so I can watch the meltdown.
I am gonna watch his latest vid to see what Mandrageproduction say about that, can’t wait to see his face slowly melt in panic 😂
all the actual lego fans were upset they included rex in a $650 set. i’m so happy i can buy him now. THANK YOU LEGO 🙏🏼
@@spooky2bricks this is a toy and is meant to be played with. Children should not have to pay over 600€ to get a Rex Minifigure....
@@spooky2bricks you’re mad your rex doesn’t hold any value anymore lol
speak for yourself I wasn't upset about it and trust me I buy lego purely for the enjoyment otherwise I would have space for anything but lego in my apartment, but neither am I upset about the fact it's now freely available because imo all figures should be to this quality for any set and be easily available *cough* *cough* at-te cody arms that look a bit lame after this rex
@@spooky2bricksYularen, the dude who gave the fire opening narrations of TCW remains exclusive, why the crying?
@@spooky2bricks You forget that time moves on and they probably meant that it was only exclusive for that time being released, remember that old tie fighter from 1999 or early 2000's which said that it'll be the only set with stormtroopers included? Well look at it now, they released the same version in 3 other sets later on. Same goes with rex, although one point everything just moves on
It's been years and years of me wishing I could get a great Captain Rex minifigure...and then the Venator came out, and it was another year of not being able to justify that cost.
This is a great set and I'm so psyched that such a popular figure is finally more accessible for more people. If you like LEGO and Star Wars, you should be excited about it too!
I am! And I haven't even watched the clone wars. He just looks like a cool captain figure to me for my blue clones lol
I love how some people will cry over this minifigure , yet say nothing about spending $700 on PLASTIC!
because exclusive figure with value of 80+dollars was part of the 700$ plastic. And Lego lied, once again, this is not how you treat your hardcore lego fans. They could’ve totally make a new version of Rex, no worse or less detailed, just different and everyone would stay happy. They have done that before many times, yet now they decided to screw with lego collectors for whatever reason. Like if it is upsetting Lego bosses that their fans and customers could possibly earn few bucks on minifigure in a future. They would spend those money on another lego anyway, it was perfect circle, everyone profiting. No one would be looser in such a situation, but nooooo, lego must punish those long term customers who spending thousands of dolalrs on their products. disgusting
@rawwad Punish! Sorry, but your anger is totally misguided towards lego. I have been collecting lego for almost 40 years, recently having slowed down due to the ludicrous prices lego is charging. That is where your anger should be, the prices, not the "exclusivity". Did the company lie, i don't think so as they never said the Rex character in the venetor set would never be used in another set moving forward. Just my opinion.
@@rawwadThose hardcore fans are just a minority, nobody cares. Cap
@@theok391 if they wouldn't care they wouldn't be releasing 500+ dollars sets, those are aimed mainly towards the hardcore collectors
@@rawwad Guess what, i have that set, still dont care.
Remember at the end of the day LEGO is a toy meant for children and teens. I have no issue giving them good quality figures.
review starts at 3:00
He took that long to start?!
As someone with little money to spend on legos, I love this, and I will continue to laugh at anyone who doesn’t
Super excited about Rex in a cheap set. Really wish they put the UCS Luke in the mech
Yeah weird…..Rex is an exception to their cheap vs expensive version rule.
Im loving that lego done this. It's plastic not gold
tbf lego sets especially star wars go up in value each year more then gold
Then buy a fake capten rex off brand for 2 dollars it’s just plastic lol
I wonder if they'll make a full scale Rex's Y Wing. This is a good sign for the future
Personally I would have preferred a full-sized version with a similar design to the 2009 Y-Wing to a micro-fighter version.
I feel like Lego should just make a Y wing but then release multiple different colours of it
@@BaguetteDeMal I heard they've been doing that for other lego themes. That would be cool also for Slave 1
So glad Captain Rex is the same! As. I would never be able to get the $640 dollar one😅🤣👍
I wouldn't have minded if they'd swapped out the head (because that head print is very specific to the last arc of the clone wars) but I'm super glad to have a chance to get the official Captain Rex minifigure. I don't have enough space or money to display the full Venator, so I'm glad there's an alternative option.
Rip MandR
But he wasn't unhappy that Rex is in a $10 set. He's unhappy that Lego went back on the exclusivity aspect. David literally shared that sentiment in this video
RIP MandR You Scummy Price Raiser. AMEN! THANK YOU LEGO!
@@TA-zq3ezhe means that MandR Isn't the first one to make a review on this set even though he always wants to be first
@@BricksbyPat oh. Well, rip indeed then

So funny for the scalpers haha can’t wait to pick up 2 of these
cant wait to pick it up
the best product in Lego's history
Nah, 90s had the best sets.
The Monkey Battle pack though
I hope they make Cody one next year to go with it!
@@HenritheHorse2000s were better imo
@@Atamatchstix Lego was great until 2003, the color change and then the downfall of overall plastic quality.
Captain Rex is one of my favorite characters, I've been wanting a figure of him for years so im happy to get Rex, and such a high quality one too!
Great to finally have Captain Rex in an affordable set!
Clone troopers should include a cloth kama!
But at the same time, god forbid they include a cloth pauldron or arm printing in a set containing captain rex.
- LEGO SW fans in a nutshell.
thats so true lego sw fans complain about fucking everything
No one has said that, i think some context is needed. He used the pauldron as an example of things lego could have changed so it would be a different rex
Taken out of context, people DO want kamas and cloth pauldron, just not maybe arm printing to keep the other rex exklusive
No one has ever said cloth kamas and arm printing is bad, he said that they maybe shouldnt have had arm printing on this rex to keep the other exclusive
@@Azact Which also is dumb.
Pauldron is iconic part of Rex. Also, we shouldn't let Lego be lazy and not include arm printing just to keep figure exclusive. You want exclusivity? Ask for DIFFERENT prints.
Or for what I was hoping for, a Kama in 13 dollars set
I’m so happy I can get Rex. Cry about the figure not being exclusive
Going hard on the first reviews! Love it
This'll be great! I regret that I never got the BARC Speeder all those years ago, but now I don't anymore! The Rex figure looks awesome, and I can't wait to add him to a MOC I'm making of Anaxis!
Thing is, the folks who got the Venator would be angry anyway. Doesn’t matter if it had no Pauldron, different printing, no arm print etc. I don’t think they just want the figure to be exclusive, they want the character to be exclusive, because any updated phase 2 Rex would invalidate them buying the venator just for Rex.
I bought the Venator, and I think that ordering it for Rex is plain stupidity. Knowing the popularity of Rex, it was obvious that at some point in time, a better version would be sold and easely accessible anyways. The only characters that will most likely not get a remake are the specific niche ones.
Lego should not care about scalpers opinions to begin with.
The venator is awesome and it's value will rise no matter what. I don't see lego releasing another Yularen anytime soon anyways, so some exclusivity still remains. I'm glad that others now get to enjoy the same figure that I own and love, even if they had to pay less for it than I had to.
I literally wouldn’t have cared if they took off the Kama printing and gave him an actual Kama for this set, I wouldn’t care if they took away the raised up helmet holes and gave him just one in the right side in the micro fighter I just want something to make the two different and exclusive like the instructions said. I can already smell the little kids with their new rex posting him saying they bought a venator
The real cavalry has arrived !
I wish it was a play set but I'll take this all day!
A fine addition to my collection
So glad you’re speaking so true. All the TH-camrs preaching their annoyance are just frustrated with their precious resell value going down (whilst still complaining about the helmet holes). Lego is for the community and so great to see them making such a great figure so easily accessible.
They still complaining about the helmet holes? Dang…
As an owner of the UCS Venator, I'm all in favour of the Captain Rex mini-fig being available to everyone at an accessible price point. My issue isn't with its availability. It's with Lego's general dishonesty on these things. They expressly stated that the Venator Captain Rex was exclusive to that set. Just don't lie about it. There's so many instances of just outright dishonesty from Lego. If you feel the need to be dishonest about something to improve sales, then there's an issue with the product or the price point.
yea, lego has been wildly inconsistent with what they are telling us they want to do with UCS figures. I think what they should do going forward is have 2 versions, one more detailed, and the other less detailed. Kinda like hot toys, and black series.
@@thegreenbacon514that’s exactly what they’ve been doing pilot Luke, C3-po, tie pilot. All of which have a cheap and expensive version. For some odd reason they didn’t do it with Rex.
@@viperson9818 yea, but the Luke released as a key chain, and I know it’s not the same as a normal minifigure, but like why couldn’t they have released the normal Luke. Lego just need to stay strict with which version of figs they put out
@@thegreenbacon514no one would buy a normal luke with key chain lol, literally useless and worthless
@@james-tp5ui not rlly, the arms are normal minifig arms, I think it’s best for lego to leave the UCS figs to the UCS sets.
I bought the Venator but I’m honestly glad that the Captain Rex will be available to many. I’ll be picking this up as well!!
I hope this set is a prelude to a play scale Rex’s Y-Wing with Rex, Ahsoka, Jesse, and R7-A7.
15 seconds ago is crazy
Not my fault you guys spent $600 for a Rex figure
I would’ve liked to see him next to the new fives fig. Extremely excited to get both those figs
Cannot wait to grab this!
Minifigs should be fun to collect and have fun. Not a reason to buy sets
Bros faster than MANDR with these uploads 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is a win for sure. It satisfies me to no end to think of the scalpers/resellers losing their minds about this. I do hope we can get a proper 501st Y-Wing at some point with Jesse, this Rex minifig, Ahsoka, and a 332nd Clone at some point.
Been wanting a Rex for the longest time. Can't wait for this set
LETS GO WE DID IT BOYS 13 DOLLAR CAPTAIN REX W
I don’t get people hating, it’s just wrong that Lego lied about it being exclusive. Nobody has a problem with Rex being behind a 11$ Paywall, but it shouldn’t be the EXACT same figure.
Ik
It was exclusive for a time 😂😂 just ain’t any more 😌
Why? Why shouldn’t it be the exact figure? Why shouldn’t people who can’t afford the USC Venator be able to buy the Rex figure for an affordable price?
@@EbagStudiosit’s not an issue unless it’s stated as exclusive minifigs
@@EbagStudios They can always release a different version (this does NOT mean worse) for a cheaper price. This would fix BOTH problems for both kinds of people and be perfect.
I'm very excited for this and will be buying a couple
Looks amazing captain rex set great review 👍
5:56 DON'T EVEN JOKE LIKE THAT DUDE!
Don't pretend like cheaper lego consumers don't care about arm printing, because we do.
Notice how he dosen't even hide the fact that he doesn't really even care what other people say about it. He sounds just like some upset Ebay seller here who's original plan was to wait long enough till he could sell his extra Rex minifigures that he get for very cheap at the time in an aftermarket place for the triple of their original price after the UCS Venator set retired.
@@aleksihalme6726 it just sounds weird to me personally, because every lego fan (even the ones that don't care as much about the figures) have all agreed that more arm and leg printing is better and telling LEGO to lose the arm printing and accessories for this small set is sending a bad message overall.
We keep asking for more detailed figures, but some people hate that idea when it means they might lose out on their investments. Why can't we just put our selfish desires aside and just look out for the little guy every now and then (i.e. the cheaper consumers).
@@productionsinparadise2880Yeah, I'm so glad this Microfighter is getting ready to hit all the different kinds of different aged Lego consumers all over the world and this set sure sends a strong message to all the resale scammers and minifigure holders out there who don't do it with love and passion in mind and hopefully these people realise by now what their own selfish behavior has caused and action truly speaks louder than words here and things are slowly starting to look better for the true Lego Star Wars Fans and Collectors, I can't wait to buy at least one for myself day 1!
@@aleksihalme6726 Even though the future looks bright for the next few years, I still feel like things might go back to the way they were previously because the LAN members and other members of the online community have incredibly "loud" voices and we might go into an endless cycle of lego sets being consumer friendly for a few years and then go back to another era of things being too exclusive for the average consumer (an endless cycle of people realizing how hypocritical they are and then relapsing back into their old ways again).
Hopefully lego and the designers can balance out (limit) what advice they take from the fans (only listen to the consumer friendly advice).
For example, UCS don't need exclusive figures, but rather just very relevant ones. I think Admiral Yularin would look cool in a venator microfighter because there has never been a ventator microfighter before.
@@productionsinparadise2880 You have very good points and I appreciate that. Admiral Yularen in an cheap Microfighter set at least makes sense at this time period and less people would be pissed off about him being in it but this Microfighter Venator set might not sell as well as Rex's one will but this just makes me wonder what could happen if they just simply stopped adding any "Exclusive" characters to their UCS style sets and or not have any Star Wars minifigures included in them at all because that's probably number 1 thing that comes to mind and minifigures get all the negative opinions from the most people in the community and if we delete that small part of it then the most of these people might find these UCS sets much more worth it for them to invest their money on in a long run and the rest of them could see these UCS sets in an much more open and different light than they ever could have seen otherwise because all the negativity blinds them from seeing what they could be really be seeing and that thing is a great set that was made for Collectors, adults and all the age groups alike and there could be so much less negative and angry customers complaining if these sets din't have minifigures since most of these people only care about their "exclusive characters" in these expensive sets and they can't let go of their otherwise greedy mindset without LEGO as an company chancing the whole concept of what makes their UCS sets so good in the first place.
I still think it's hilarious how Star Wars is literally about war, but Disney is drawing the line at "Slave I". 😂
Great! Now we can build an ARMY of Captain Rex!
When I heard that the Phase Two Rex came in a $650 set, I was so upset. So glad I can finally get him in a cheap set.
I understand wanting there to be something unique about the Rex that is in the UCS Venator, but I swear... the people that are complaining about how this ruins the value of the Rex from the UCS Venator are just so frustrating. Its clear that these people are collecting stuff purely to show off and have something super rare and exclusive, as opposed to collecting out of an actual love for the thing you collect.
Who cares if you have a Rex that came from a $700 set and someone else has a Rex from a $12 set? It doesn't impact you unless you plan to resell, which screams to me that you are only in it as an investment as opposed to a genuine love for the product and franchise.
(also, if you spent $700 on a set purely because of a single minifig, youre an idiot)
In my opinion UCS sets should have gold figures like hp322. That way the UCS community gets something exclusive, but the rest of us don't miss out on anything canonical.
But I assure you, they won't be happy. Like you said, it's about showing off and preventing others from having fun, not about passion.
I don’t even care about his resale value it’s just that I payed $650 not for rex but for a very nice build with rex on the side, I was also told the figure would be exclusive to the set. I wouldn’t have cared if they completely fixed every issue anyone had with the venator rex, I just hate being lied to especially since they have sets planned out for years obviously leaving spots for upcoming shows but they had to have known at the time they were making the venator that the same Rex would be in a micro fighter for $10
It's great to have Rex in a cheaper set. Idk why Lego didn't change 1 print in order to have a cheaper Rex and also have the exclusive UCS Venator one. Lego even stated that Rex from Venator was exclusive.
It was exclusive at the time. Lego is accurate.
Yeah, standard blue arms and then honestly they could have appeased both sides here. Not that I care much, because I hope it does hurt Venator sales. I want that fat 30% off that the Razor Crest got on Black Friday.
@@EchoBaseplates Already go it with that discount like 5 days ago. I suppose it just depends on luck from region to region / retail from retail
@@toromcjohnson4069 it was exclusive forever, thye lied and falsly advertised
@@toromcjohnson4069 then why don’t Lego dare to fit the exact boba fett from the cloud city into the mech? It’s not always “exclusive” anyway, that’s literally excuse of Lego being lazy
Thank you from France for offering a great review just a few hour after the reveal 😅
Great review 👍
I don't particularly like the new LEGO sets but I continue to collect the microfigthers, battle packs and polybags. But I don't buy new sets anymore, only the old sets from 1999 - 2012 🤩
the people who are mad about this are people who thought they could sell the minifig for hundreds of dollars later or just people who think owning an exclusive minifig is a life accomplishment.
People like me who bought this aren’t mad because he won’t be worth as much, were mad because lego set a bar for themselves by saying they were exclusive and proceeded to completely fail, they could’ve avoided any controversy by just not including this part
@@Sigma_meister oh so you’re the latter
Rex being available for $13 is a huge win, however in the same breath it shouldn't have been the SAME ONE from the Venator.
agreed. But I’m personally not complaining that it isn’t.
Why not. People complained a lot that Lego have put exclusive Minifigs in UCS sets a few years ago. Then they changed it and now the people complain again that there are no exclusive minifigs. Just don't expect exclusive Minifigs in UCS sets, even if it is written somewhere. ;)
@@bern71 the problem is that LEGO lied. As part of advertising the UCS Venator, Lego promised exclusivity to the figs. As David pointed out, Lego went back on their word. I'm all for Rex being in a cheap set, I don't think we should have to pay so much money for it, but keep the exclusivity; give the cheaper Rex solid white or blue arms
Edit to fix spelling
@@danielbrown3355 where did lego lie though? I checked the shop and neither the box nor the website mentions anything about exclusivity.
Plus we already know that lego does not hold exclusivity on UCS figures, (they did that with the clone captain which was thrown in a 12 € packs after the release of the gunship) they are not always exclusive, there is no ground rule about it to my knowledge.
The only thing I consider exclusive is if a figure is too specific to be sold in an easy way, like Admiral Yularen, then lego will most likely not release it again anytime soon, making it exclusive since they modify stuff all the time.
@@vincentperon2950it says it in the instructions of the Venator 🥰
I am definitely getting this when it comes out; hopefully my local Wegmans gets these when it comes out (fewer people may search there for Lego; I got a pair of 501st Specialist battle packs from Wegmans when they first came out).
Love this, Lego should do this more often
This'll show horrible lego star wars TH-camrs to not treat Minifigures like nfts
Fucking fax
At least the LAN beat MANDR
im glad i have been out of the Lego hobby for a while. I'm totally going to get this 💙🔥
I am glad that the set is like this, it won't make me feel bad about not buying it.
If you spent hundreds and hundreds of cash for a single figure instead of the actual set itself, it's your own damn fault.
In my opinion UCS sets should have gold figures like hp322. That way the UCS community gets something exclusive, but the rest of us don't miss out on anything canonical.
But I assure you, they won't be happy. Like you said, it's about showing off and preventing others from having fun, not about passion.
Huge W for LEGO, people that think they should have an exclusive minifig just for buying a UCS set when so many people would love to have that figure are crazy.
Although I agree with a $13 set with a captain rex, I believe that People paying the extra price should get that extra something. They should’ve made the Rex in the Venator Exclusive by getting rid of the arm printing for the Y-Wing
I’m so excited to get rex in my collection. It took so long but I will finally get him.
I’m surprised the head is the exact same but I’m so glad that we get an amazing Rex for cheap now. Hopefully the og version drops in price even more in the coming months
Holy grail Lego set,I need this
I remember them saying that they didn't want highly sought after figs gate kept by a high price tag - I still agree with it and am happy that I personally am able to get an updated P2 Rex!!
Keep the fig exclusive, not the character
On the lego website when buying the Venator it does not say exclusive figure, if you look at the box art of the set at the store it does not say exclusive figure only after buying and opening the set it says in the instructions exclusive, which it was at the time, they didn't use the mentioning of exclusive figures for commercial sales. Since lego didn't it can just be seen as a mistype in the instructions. It's what people made of it from reading the instructions and hyped up other people.
I love it when the multi billion dollar company accidentally types a whole 2 sentences and is still producing the same copy of it today. Also hey have their sets and a rough idea of their inclusions for like another 3 years in the future, I bet they had rex and his micro fighter being designed while these instructions were being written with full knowledge that they would include that same figure in less than a year. They could’ve avoided any controversy by not including this part but they set the bar for themselves and still fell short
I want this set. He will stay well with my other phase 2 commanders. I own phase 2 Cody,Phase 2 Fox (I gave him the black waist Cape and black visor), Phase 2 Gree, Arc trooper Fives, Arc trooper Hammer,Captain Vaughn
(I gave him an upgrade and put blue arms and a dark red Visor instead of orange visor). I love these commanders. Every Clone Legion in my collection need their commanders/Captain, its a must have. In my clone collection I have Shock,501st,212th,41th,332th and Standard white clones
Looks really good! I love the btl b y wings best.
This could be a great set to finally build that Captain Rex only army!
As someone who can afford the Venator, I was on the fence. The deciding factor was the exclusive Rex mini. I held out on buying the Venator because the rumor came out Rex would be in a micro build.
I absolutely think a premium version of Rex should be in the expensive set, and a simpler/basic version of tex in a micro (cheaper) set.
I agree that Rex should be available to everyone I can’t imagine being a kid and Rex is your favorite character but can’t have him because he’s in a 600$+ lego set, so this is really neat.It’s super cute too! I hope I’ll be able to get one when it comes out.
Finally, an easy way to get Captain Rex, and just in time since I just got Cody, maybe when this comes out I’ll make a clone wars MOC
The box art features Bracca in the background if I'm seeing that correctly.
I hope we get a Bly one day. With the white binoculars they have every part they need, they really just need the print
i think I like the aesthetic of bobs fett's micro fighter better, but this definitely comes with a cooler fugure. will 100% be picking up this set when it comes out.
I can FINALLY own a captain rex after always wanting one. $50-$100 is just not a price I would pay for something like this. This is perfect.
Im so glad their doing this im defs getting it maybe even 2 if fans think this is a problem i can understand it if u bought the venator but for trooper builders this is crazy good
I like that we’re getting Rex in a cheap set but I wish we could have gotten a mini-figure scale Rex Y-Wing with an Ashoka figure, a new R7-A7 (because they only been in 1 set) and maybe a Jesse mini-figure. I think a full scale blue Y-Wing would just look beautiful.
I’m actually glad he’s affordable now.
soooo hyped to get it
This is the best lego star wars set of all time, and I can't be convinced otherwise, such a good figure for so cheap is so damn good
Super cool
Looking forward to getting an extra to customize him with some Cape Cantina Cloth.
Im so exited for this
Also how did you attach the stand in the thumbnail?
WOW Now That’s An Awesome Video Of The “LEGO Star Wars Captain Rex Y-Wing REVIEW | Set 75391” Good Job & I Love That “Captain Rex” Minifigure Cause He Is One Of My Favorite “STAR WARS” Characters Of All Time :-)
