You’re now the best in this genre. Everyone else is annoying, clickbaity, always negative about things they know Lego will not or cannot change, and edit as if their videos are for 8 year olds back in 2010. Huge respect to the amount of effort you put into these.
To me the side by side comparison to source material is a game changer for Lego reviews. Other tubers would always compare and complain about the accuracy without any visual evidence and I always wondered why they couldn’t throw up a quick photo to make their point.
This is your first video I watched and I’m blown away by the quality of editing, in depth review of the set and enthusiastic but objective approach. Instant subscribe. You’ll be my go-to for future Lego reviews!
Disagree, honestly. The hull of that old ship is a full facade, it’s just folding panels over a core that just presents as what is isn’t. Thus, I just prefer the solid building of the modern Scimitar’s design, over the vastly too large 2011 set.
Man, I was impressed by the editing and comparison to the source material throughout the video. But when you pulled up the alternate box concepts that just blew me away in terms of effort. Keep going like this and you'll be the most followed lego reviewer on the platform.
Thanks for being straight forward about the price and not excusing it / or using “it’s overpriced but”. Lot of nitpicks that really add up especially the mini figure quality
Never expected to be surprised on TH-cam on how good videos can be. It's excellent in any way, sound, composition of shots, visuals, pace, amount of information. The quality exceeds far above the current biggest Lego TH-camrs. Please continue with this. The price per brick graphic is excellent, maybe also consider this for the weight and price per build time per minute.
Best Lego review video I've seen on youtube! Not only are you fair and honest with the positives and negatives of this set, unlike other channels who absolutely exacerbate the same complaints we hear from lego sw fans, but your editing might be some of the best I've seen on youtube. In addition, that X-wing comparison hit like a truck lol.This is unreal man!
My biggest issue is the lack of Maul's hood, but besides that I really like it, especially since I don't have any sets from episode one, and getting Qui-Gon which is one of my favorite characters is great. It definitely could have used one or two more minifigs to justify it's price tho
This set is awesome! I had the original from 1999, but this is a big step up. Always good to get a Darth Maul minifigure! They even have the double red lighsaber even if the scene in the movie didn't have that.
Love your review format! I hope your channel grows enough to be an influence on the rest of the lego reviewing world! I always jump to these videos to get good and honest information about the set in question. Things like the darth maul eyes are brought up without causing any anger aswell. Love it!
I just got this set for 15€ without mini figures. The bump in the middle is easily modifiable, and the ship looks much sleeker once it's flattened out. If you already have some of the minifigs, I can defenetly recommend buying a used set without them for a much more reasonable price, the model is really nice!
This isy first video of yours that I've seen and man! Im blown away by the production value! This is a super polished video, youve definitely got a new regular viewer!
Omg the editing is mind blowing.🤯 Information is all useful and complete. How come I’ve not seen your channel before? I might choose you as my main LEGO TH-camr from now on. Definitely subscribed 👍
4:24 not to mention that every single other version of this set gave him his cape and hood. Just seems like Lego cheaped out and put all the effort into the saw figure
Just found your channel and the production quality here is stellar. The transitions, info displays, product shots really stand out, although the fake background is a bit uncanny valley
I love the idea of this set, I feel like the execution was just fumbled a bit. My personal bias is telling me I would rather grab the Ghost and Phantom II set, even though it's considerably more expensive than this one, and it doesn't have a special Minifig like Saw. Another excellent video, I can't wait to see what other sets you cover throughout the year!
Stumbled upon your channel. I watch MandR and BrixStudios as well but wow, your content I’d have to say it better than both of theirs. You gotta get more subs haha
I have this set and one thing I really don't like is how short the landing gears are. The entire back half of the set will hinge on a small corner the 4x4 round plate instead of sitting flush with the surface. The closest solution (without modification) I've found is having the whole gear and feet extended vertically.
I thought there is no cape because of the interior space being small and Maul with hood piece would not fit. But he fits perfectly. I actually don't understand why LEGO did it. Also, the nose bump is so unnecessary. I figured a little modification (adding just 3 pieces) in a few seconds. No problem at all, play function works still the same way. And it look so much better it feels almost insane.
I understand all your points (positive & negative). I'm not going to say I agree with everything you said...but, I'm certainly not going to disagree. Regarding the 'bump' along the top of the fuselage, although it would eliminate the ability to open the top, I think it is probably possible to "lower the bump", making it look more accurate. As for the price, I think a part of their reasoning has to do with one specific figure - Saw Gerrera. The probability of this figure increasing in value is virtually guaranteed.
Some people consider it false advertising and find it a big deal. I myself couldn’t care less, but I still pointed it out for those who do. On the box it’s a bit brown ish, when in real life it’s a bright sand color. (Which is more accurate anyway)
Call me crazy, but I LOVE this new Maul design and how the face is so different than other Mauls. I feel bad for the people who can’t enjoy it the same way I do
I loved the video, just a bit of feedback (absolutely no hate). The box design section was actually super interesting and I enjoyed it, but it felt kinda off topic. Most of your reviews focus on the set itself, and the purpose of the video is to learn about the model to help decide to get it or not, or just to check it out. The box part felt a little random
You’re absolutely right, but like I said I had that stuff lying around for an unfinished video! I didn’t wanna let it go to waste completely, so I just put in here🤣
Nice video, but unfortunately, because it has Saw Gerera and poncho Quai Gon, it was instabuy for me :D Also i think in some time, unopened versions or at least Saw minigif value will help return some money.
Really dislike the bump but found a very simple mod just need 2 extra pieces and will look flat and much better, the price is still high would need to get it at a nice sale
People should really stop and look at the boxart for what it is. It's a rethinking of the OG 2000's boxart. It doesn't need to be changed. It's good for what it is, and Lego should stay like this.
I dont think its that overpriced considering the current lego landscape. I just find it generally ugly and fat which is why it wont be infiltrating my collection
The world's best lego youtuber has done a great job again.
No he did not this video suck

With this amount of video quality and effort, I can see you getting just as big if not bigger than the top lego reviewers.
To me the side by side comparison to source material is a game changer for Lego reviews. Other tubers would always compare and complain about the accuracy without any visual evidence and I always wondered why they couldn’t throw up a quick photo to make their point.
Benny you are so good. Great editing and review love you !!
I dont' know if i've ever seen a lego review that was so well edited, nice!
Honestly ur the most entertaining Lego review guy ever plus all your other channels are just as entertaining!!
This is your first video I watched and I’m blown away by the quality of editing, in depth review of the set and enthusiastic but objective approach. Instant subscribe. You’ll be my go-to for future Lego reviews!
I bought the 2011 one new last week because I was so disappointed in this one. Still looks the best all these years later
+1

A comprehensive review AND a brief graphic design lesson... I'm subbing man
Wow, I am really impressed of the editing and quality of this video. Subscribed.

but Idk I think the minis are a huge part of this, Saw and Qui Gon especially.
This isy first video of yours that I've seen and man! Im blown away by the production value! This is a super polished video, youve definitely got a new regular viewer!
Your editing is spectacular! Love your videos, I’m shocked you’re not more popular.
Came in to get some May 4th LEGO reviews... I'm a new subscriber!
Dang! How have I never seen one of your reviews pop up, they are fantastic, thank you!
This is the best lego set review that i have ever seen. You deserve way more subscribers. Keep up the great work.
Awesome video! May I suggest saying the release date year not "this year". It will make it easier for a future viewer to know what year it came out.
The date is shown on screen as I say it.
I've watched a lot of LEGO TH-cam videos and eventually stumbled onto you. If this video is your standard, you are leaps ahead of the rest!
The videos are quality as always!
Great video. You are the best youtube editor I'm subbed too. Your box desings are awesome, they should hire you for them!
Omg the editing is mind blowing.🤯 Information is all useful and complete.
How come I’ve not seen your channel before? I might choose you as my main LEGO TH-camr from now on.
Definitely subscribed 👍
U seriously need more subs, the effort put into these videos are amazing ✨
You should also add Canadian dollars in the prices, fantastic video btw. Your channel deserves to be so much bigger!!!
4:24 not to mention that every single other version of this set gave him his cape and hood. Just seems like Lego cheaped out and put all the effort into the saw figure
The quality of ur reviews are INSANE ❤ most underrated jed.. youtuber!
When you put the X-Wing next to it... Shrinkflation is real. 😱
Just found your channel and the production quality here is stellar. The transitions, info displays, product shots really stand out, although the fake background is a bit uncanny valley
Pleasseeee keep going with your videos!!! Your editing is so damn good and I love watching them.

As always, a very good video. Will you also do a review of the new Harry Potter Durmstrang ship?
quite possibly... :)
Great video. Thanks for the review, and sorry to hear about the hospital stay.
Your editing on your videos is insane good.
They sold the darth maul minifig that goes along with this set better in the visual dictionary Lol. I have it and its really nice
Your box designs are literally 1000x better
Love the quality of your videos!!!!!
Awesome Video!
Stumbled upon your channel. I watch MandR and BrixStudios as well but wow, your content I’d have to say it better than both of theirs. You gotta get more subs haha
Best quality reviews out here!!!
9:27 Also, hope your doing alright brother 👍
videos on another level, good job👍
The Darth Maul figure has grown on me a great deal
I have this set and one thing I really don't like is how short the landing gears are. The entire back half of the set will hinge on a small corner the 4x4 round plate instead of sitting flush with the surface. The closest solution (without modification) I've found is having the whole gear and feet extended vertically.
I got it $45 on ebay today! Brand new too!
please do a review on the DeLorean Timemachine
I thought there is no cape because of the interior space being small and Maul with hood piece would not fit. But he fits perfectly. I actually don't understand why LEGO did it. Also, the nose bump is so unnecessary. I figured a little modification (adding just 3 pieces) in a few seconds. No problem at all, play function works still the same way.

Honestly this and the droideka are both well worth the asking but will be a steal for less.
I think your should have mentioned that It does not come with a stand
5:06 in the vid it’s literally on screen…
I did, it was on screen in the corner ;)
@@BrickBuiltBennysorry you’re right

Best Lego channel of all time
great review,
bro really fell off 40 seconds and 1 comment?
JKJK your reviews are unmached keep up the great content
Fell off? I've barely even started bro😂😂
@@BrickBuiltBenny I know xD
Wishing you the very best!!
You deserve so much more
That poncho being the wrong colour is the most nitpicky thing I’ve ever seen. I literally cannot see the difference
Some people consider it false advertising and find it a big deal. I myself couldn’t care less, but I still pointed it out for those who do. On the box it’s a bit brown ish, when in real life it’s a bright sand color. (Which is more accurate anyway)

The editing on this video is great! Just a side note the "c" in Scimitar is silent lol
Oh oops🤣
great video! Inspiring!
Suggestion : put a 0.5h, 1h marker on your "build time" bar. It would add useful info!
Oh that’s a cool idea!
Pretty good editing
Another video already? I like where this channel is heading!
Back to back videos! 😭❤️
Reminds me of the 2007 one
I loved the video, just a bit of feedback (absolutely no hate). The box design section was actually super interesting and I enjoyed it, but it felt kinda off topic.

You’re absolutely right, but like I said I had that stuff lying around for an unfinished video! I didn’t wanna let it go to waste completely, so I just put in here🤣
Hey man do you have instruction on how to make that display stand? really love the design.
It’s the one from the starship collection ships.
I like your audio makes me getting tears
Great review as always :) good to see that it’s stable ! Same can’t be said for my ucs tie interceptor!
People are calling this "Skimitar" for some reason, it's actuall "Ssimitar", written Scimitar ofc like the weapon.
“For some reason” is the language barrier. In lots of languages a C in this case could be pronounced as K. I’m dutch, sorry.
@@BrickBuiltBenny oh it wasn't an accusation, in your case it makes perfect sense but you're not the first I heard.
i wish i had to pay 70 dollars for this, in my country its 100
Nice video, but unfortunately, because it has Saw Gerera and poncho Quai Gon, it was instabuy for me :D Also i think in some time, unopened versions or at least Saw minigif value will help return some money.
Really dislike the bump but found a very simple mod just need 2 extra pieces and will look flat and much better, the price is still high would need to get it at a nice sale
Gonna remove the probe droids and modify that bump and it will probably be a 9/10 ship.
Solid idea
I never liked the Sith to have pupils, seemed too weird for me, this Darth maul is just amazing in my opinion
70 dollar is not that pricy if you notice that here in Perú that same set has a cost of 150 dollars.
That forward section doesn't look like the original. You could probably replace the forward section with the mini-Executor.
That would make it far too pointy though, but an interesting idea for sure!
great video
Where’s the stand from boss?
It’s a stand from one of the starship collection sets!
Incredible TH-cam review. tbh for me this set is below mid, minifigures justify the price
Bro what? How did you end up in the hospital?
I apparently have Crohn’s Disease🥲
@@BrickBuiltBenny I'm sorry to hear that 🫤 I know people in my family who have or had it too.
in my opinion, it should be around 60
i got one new without minifigures for 20
The best star wars ship of all time 1k likes in the future
Omg it is really tiny!
Comment for the algorithm.
This is $50 bucks tops.
People should really stop and look at the boxart for what it is. It's a rethinking of the OG 2000's boxart. It doesn't need to be changed. It's good for what it is, and Lego should stay like this.
❤
70€ LMAO
You've made a great video, but you're mispronouncing the word "scimitar" :P
I know😂
WHY IS LEGO SO OBSEESED WITH STAR WARS...DONT WE HAD ENOUGH OF STAR WARS LEGO ALREADY.......LEGO EXPLORE SOME OTTHER GENRE
LEGO isn’t, the customers are😂
I dont think its that overpriced considering the current lego landscape. I just find it generally ugly and fat which is why it wont be infiltrating my collection
