It would look better with white legs, Lego logo don’t have that much yellow, that little bit of detail on the body and head would be enough. But it’s easy fix, I think everyone has a ton of spare R2D2s so it’s easy to get white legs.
Super disappointing that no one is talking about how the astromech is named Lego and it is the logo colors. Yes it also looks like a McDonald’s droid but the fact that no one is mentioning the other side of it is is kinda weird.
Lol. Honestly didn’t even realize that. Though this is my first time hearing the droids name, it still would have taken me an embarrassingly long time to figure that out by myself.
@@benlandis6317 You'd think they would be better informed as LAN members who get sets early. Lego should really start hanging out some basic trivia/info to reviewers.
The swapping wings are known as “Uglies” in SW and are part of the lore, usually used by pirates who take remnant pieces from space battles to build these strange mashups.
@@arkhamknight_06 I dont consider anything sequels to be canon, it’s all literally canon breaking. I stand firm with Lucas film Star Wars, anything not that I don’t consider anything short of fan fiction
What's funny about the gimmick of the wings is the engines for the X-Wing are on the wings while the TIE Fighters engine is on the main body so one gets double the engine power while the other gets nothing.
Lmfao that is so true. Also I think the swings cannons are also on the wings, while the tie's lasers are on the body. One has double engine power AND double lasers, and the other is basically an escape pod 😂
I can see that, but I think the legs should've been black then to get the logo look more on point. The majority of white makes it more like McDonalds than LEGO.
The best part about this new X-Wing, in my opinion, is the angled sides of the nose. If they could use that technique on the 2019 X-Wing, I think that would look perfect.
Both characters’ names are jabs at LEGO-related things. Greebling’s name is self explanatory, whereas Scala’s is an on-the-nose reference to SCALA, the Lego jewelry theme from the 90s I think it was.
This set isn't about what's canon or not, it's about celebrating LEGO star wars as a theme. All the minifigs are named as refernces to themes or other lego related terms and the whole concept of swapping feels like a great way to kick start a kids imagination. Looks to me like a great set.
It is almost as if as the review goes on he starts to get them because he is actually using them rather than just thinking of them as something to stick on a shelf. He also compared the price of them new to an older set at a discounted price, which these ones will be too soon.
@@redsaints Right! felt a bit disingenuous, though Lego has always been an expensive hobby. Also thought it was kind of funny when he was talking about how the one TIE had a better cockpit while the other one had better wings, and he was wishing they made a new set like that. The solution was staring him in the face!
@@JD-ud9qt Used to browse that old Lego star wars book (the one that came with Luke with a medal) all the time when I was younger. It's sad that star wars sets have become everyone's investment vehicle. People talk about the value being bad while still buying a UCS set for one figure.
These mashups were called "Uglies" back in the discarded expanded universe books from the 90s. It's actually kind of nice seeing them being recanonized under disney. Post-war groups would slap together whatever parts left over from the war that they could salvage to make anything flyable.
9:17 You have quickly become the best LEGO reviewer on the internet for me. This level of brutal honesty (that comes from a place of passion and not just bitterness), even when LEGO provides the sets for review… is truly the definition of integrity. Appreciate you for always keeping it real and making great videos! Glad I found the channel.
As an avid x-wing collector, I gotta say, I’m definitely buying this. That x-wing shape-wise is very good. Idk if I’ll wait for a sale, but I’m honestly pleasantly surprised as to how these 2 ships look, wasn’t expecting to like them
I just looked it up on the U.S. inflation calculator, and it says that $90 in 2021 (when the previous sets were released) is now $104.31. So, most of that increase appears to be due to inflation, and I'm guessing they just decided to round up to the nearest $10. That doesn't make the price any more palatable, though.
I love getting obscure ships in LEGO form for the first time, we’ve had it so good this year. The E-Wing, and now uglies!! So excited to add these to my collection
I don’t care what anyone says, this set is absolutely perfect. Nameless pilots, generic ships that complement each other and look really good on their own. I plan on getting it
I mostly agree I love the Tie Fighter and I like the X-Wing and the figures are fine but I don’t really care about the swapping stuff and I don’t like the price
@@mr.Nooblinton I think the price is decent for what you’re getting, I think it could be $10-$20 cheaper personally but it’ll regularly discount to that at various places anyway. The wings gimmick is integrated well enough to the point where it doesn’t harm the looks of the ships, it’s just a good balance of a set for both kids and adults. I respect your points
Wanted to see if you recognised that not only is the droid’s name LEGO and the guy is Greebling, but also Scala was an older line of toys that LEGO made. They were larger, like dolls almost. All three characters are sneaky references to the company.
I really feel like these Rebuild the Galaxy sets have been some of the best of the summer wave so far. They are just so cool and the figures are really cool, who cares if they’re canon or not.
This is a banger concept for kids, but wish this was sold seperatly for it to be more affordable. Honestly I'm glad about the wing stuff to make the Uglies, it's a super neat play feature and pushes toward interchanging parts more.
Love the Uglies, not a big fan of the base models though. Just never thought I would see the day where we’d have an E-Wing, X-TIE, and basically a Death Seed on shelves at the same time. Low key a great time to be an EU and lego Star Wars fan.
I love how both of these ships look and am glad they are both coming in a single set. It;s just so dissapointing that the X-Wing doesn't do the one thing that you'd want an X-Wing to do.
06:17 it’s not a gimmick. Whilst sure LEGO/Disney have seized on it as a gimmick idea to redo the x wing and tie fighter sets rather than just having another redo of the ships individually, these two mashed up ships do exist in pre-Disney and pre-LEGO/rebuild the universe canon. They are known as “uglies”. Fighters and ships assembled from random parts or whatever was available. They existed in post-ROTJ Star Wars after the Empire fell apart, no empire and the manufacturing facilities kind of went to shit. So ship builders started making these to use up parts they had. But some uglies were deliberately designed that way. My point is that these kind of ships have been in Star Wars canon since before Disney in the expanded universe.
Not to mention if you swap them, all the engines go to the X-Tie. The quad engines from the X Wing and the Twin Ion Engine from the TIE are all together. The other ship has zero engines haha
Great video, loving your content recently. A tiny correction though, it's "S-foils", not "X-foils". Despite them being X wings, "lock S foils in attack position" is what's in the films
To me this set is good for being a vehicle builder, similar to how people say the clone battle packs are good for army building, if you want the X-wing and tie fighter builds without spending loads of money for finding the original releases then i can give it a go,i mean sure I'll toss out or sell the nothing characters from the rebuild the galaxy show but for me there is worth here,especially if i get into moc building at some point
I love the look of this set and its proportions are so toy-like!!! OoO And as for the non-canon characters... That makes it cool! XD You can create any story in a diorama with them! XD I need to put the McDonald's droid together with the IKEA one! XD
When you talk about "At least we are getting notable iconic vehicles [...] these are not just random ships", it's an interesting point. Of course it's good to have new versions of Lego ties and Xwings and get to see how they improve with times, but I have to say that I really love having some new ships in my SW and getting a chance to get those in lego form. It could be a bit boring to have just Xwings and Ties for ever. Same about minifgs : new characters in SW, new figs in Lego, makes sense and it's one of the purposes of those specific sets.
I’m actually glad these ships came out and it’s cannon not a gimmick they are called uglies and there are many stories in the canon about them personally my favorite is a Tye-wing. They were usually built and used by pirates. Also Yodas starship is in the clone Wars TV series not just the LEGO Yoda chronicles that too is an awesome set.
My son’s most sought after set is the Freemakers ship, and is beyond excited about Rebuild the Galaxy. He is especially excited about these mash-ups. To complain about Star Wars TV shows and especially Lego toys aimed at younger kids is crazy too me. That being said, when that is the audience and you are charging these prices, it’s a problem.
As someone who only recently got back into lego, being able to tick off two of the best ships in one set is a massive boon for me. Now I just need to find a standalone interceptor for a reasonable price...
I love how the original characters are all references to LEGO! L3-G0 - Spells LEGO (also the colors of the figure are the colors of the LEGO logo) Yesi Scala - Scala was an old LEGO theme Sig Greebling - The community term Sig figs and the greebling LEGO technique
This is such a silly and fun concept. I've gotten so tired of canon sets and over the years have felt that Lego Star Wars have been more Star War and not enough Lego. This set brings back some of that Lego charm, interchanging the wings reminds me of when sets would come with alternate builds. I'm a person that doesn't have a tie fighter or an x wing so this looks like a fun date night set.
I think the x wing looks pretty ok tbh for its size, not so keen on the tie fighter, looks pretty squashed and goofy but u wouldn't call it terrible. I am also pretty sure this whole idea is based on an original idea from star wars legends, i remember seein ages ago how parents cobbled together and mashed up parts between the x wing and tie fighter which they have clealy now used for this concept.
I have to give credit where credit is due. I didn't like your duel on peridia review but your last two reviews have been exceptionally good. Great work david 💪
Scala is a reference to the old Lego Theme. Greebling is named after all the little details modelmakers use to detail models. I like the idea of this set, but wished there was more rebuilding from this set than just swapping the wings
I think that the TIE bomber was the test bed for the blacked out cockpit window. I have a feeling that's likely how all TIE Fighters will be from now on.
Thanks for the review, Solid! I've noticed that in certain parts of your reviews, the narration doesn't seem to match up with the footage of the model. I'm not sure if that is intentional, it just seems delayed by like 10 to 20 seconds, lol. A piece of the model will be shown, then talked about after moving to a different shot. Overall, though, awesome video!
Definitely agree on the price, I think maybe a year and a half ago through normal small sales on Amazon I got the TIE Fighter, XWing, and Obi Jedi Fighter for $100.
People should really compare these lego sets to the models used in the movies. Because these 2 ships are definitely the most accurate tie and x-wing lego has done at this scale yet. The designers should be proud with this one.
I love the idea of an X-Wing and TIE combo pack but they should’ve tossed in a stormtrooper and rebel trooper in as well, the actual builds look really good though in scale with the other recent fighters released.
I was originally happy with the idea of an X-Wing Tie-Fighter mashup set, but seeing it now I’m just disappointed. I’m still getting the set, but only for the ships.
The gimmick is pretty great and I think will make the set worth it. There were mashup ships like these in the old EU/Legends called “Uglies”. But you’re right the minifigs are lacking. They should have added two more minifigs and ideally they’d be named canon characters.
I love how people complain about non-canon figures but don’t complain about how putting the TIE fighter solar panels on the X-Wing fuselage wouldn’t work because the TIE’s engines are on the main pod and and the X-Wing engines are on the wings.
I like your honesty in this review! For me these might be the best versions of the 2 ships, especially that I have the TIE bomber set and I like it's windshield design (if only the view of the pilot wasn't blocked, it would probably be perfect). The TIE Fighter's guns in the front and the absolutely awful sticker engines need changing to match the bomber but otherwise it's great, especially that it's actually minifigure scale, not like the big 2017 one. The X-Wing seems more sturdy than it's predecessor and I like the landing gear. I love that we get an unnamed rebel pilot and not an another Luke's X-wing this time but I agree, the rest of the minifigs are a little underwhelming. Also, thanks for speaking about the pricing issue.
I like this non canon sets. Reminds me of when Lego Star Wars was an actual Lego product that inspired creativity like the good old days The only issue I have that’s too god damn expensive.
I'm absolutely going to be picking up this set soon as I can. The builds are great, the play features look fun and its an awesome example of the Vs. sets Lego has been making. I feel like the points about non-canon characters being included is a little ridiculous given it's for an original show. Plus even if you don't like them you still get civilian looking characters along with some generic pilots for generic ships. I think having just regular no-name figures are fine, I'd even like to see more. Put a little bit of City into Star Wars.
The 2021 X-wing actually made an X when the wings were on attack position. This new one makes more of a >-< shape... kinda like the in universe T-85. I have both previous versions of these vehicles and I'm pretty happy with them, not too thrilled about this set...
I appreciate the constructive criticism in this review. You make great points about value. I’m very much on the same page as you in regards to the price being unreasonably high
I feel like the TIE got a bit shafted in terms of detail. Gone is the printed roof hatch, and even the literal reason we call them TIEs, the twin ion engines, are stickers.

Kinda sad how the astromech droid is literally the LEGO colors but the McDonald’s brand is way more recognizable
I feel like if they added blue and green it would look more like Lego colors, even if they might not be the strict Lego logo colors
It’s because they added too much yellow
It would look better with white legs, Lego logo don’t have that much yellow, that little bit of detail on the body and head would be enough.
But it’s easy fix, I think everyone has a ton of spare R2D2s so it’s easy to get white legs.
The problem is, there's not much yellow in the Lego logo so the yellow and red of the droid are more synonymous with McDonalds.
Imagine how many McNuggets I could get for $110
Super disappointing that no one is talking about how the astromech is named Lego and it is the logo colors. Yes it also looks like a McDonald’s droid but the fact that no one is mentioning the other side of it is is kinda weird.

I love my first order tie fighter even better!
I feel like were going to be seeing a lot of these sets on discount bins in a few years
Yeah just like the old tie and x-wing, those things were everywhere
You switched the laser bolts. The TIE fighter fires the green bolts and X-Wing fires red.
I was originally happy with the idea of an X-Wing Tie-Fighter mashup set, but seeing it now I’m just disappointed. I’m still getting the set, but only for the ships.
In case you didn't remember, the Tie Fighter has green lasers and the X-Wings have red.
Hopefully the next Xwing and Tie Fighter we get are in the old bigger scale
Dude keeps saying kids will have fun with it, he looked like he was having so much fun.😀
The gimmick is pretty great and I think will make the set worth it. There were mashup ships like these in the old EU/Legends called “Uglies”. But you’re right the minifigs are lacking. They should have added two more minifigs and ideally they’d be named canon characters.
I love how people complain about non-canon figures but don’t complain about how putting the TIE fighter solar panels on the X-Wing fuselage wouldn’t work because the TIE’s engines are on the main pod and and the X-Wing engines are on the wings.
As an x-wing there, I feel like that might be an excellent "elevated" version of the OG...
The TIE-fighter looks better in person, at least.
I like your honesty in this review! For me these might be the best versions of the 2 ships, especially that I have the TIE bomber set and I like it's windshield design (if only the view of the pilot wasn't blocked, it would probably be perfect). The TIE Fighter's guns in the front and the absolutely awful sticker engines need changing to match the bomber but otherwise it's great, especially that it's actually minifigure scale, not like the big 2017 one. The X-Wing seems more sturdy than it's predecessor and I like the landing gear. I love that we get an unnamed rebel pilot and not an another Luke's X-wing this time but I agree, the rest of the minifigs are a little underwhelming. Also, thanks for speaking about the pricing issue.
I like this non canon sets. Reminds me of when Lego Star Wars was an actual Lego product that inspired creativity like the good old days
The only issue I have that’s too god damn expensive.
I actually think both builds look very good. The price is high yes but I like the builds
I'm absolutely going to be picking up this set soon as I can. The builds are great, the play features look fun and its an awesome example of the Vs. sets Lego has been making. I feel like the points about non-canon characters being included is a little ridiculous given it's for an original show. Plus even if you don't like them you still get civilian looking characters along with some generic pilots for generic ships. I think having just regular no-name figures are fine, I'd even like to see more. Put a little bit of City into Star Wars.
Thanks for saving me money, David. I'll stick to my 2021 X-Wing and TIE
The X-Wing with the TIE Fighter wings is basically the V-Wing from Episode III
David let Bob free! We know you have him behind the camera and we know the starfighter “you were talking about”
Lego won't let him, L company.
MandR already dropped a review
Nah I'd rather boycott mandr
@@Gundamfan24k-wr4mv what did he do?
i kinda like those new build mechanics at the entire cheeks and nose of that x wing
I like the more old school approach to the X-wing but REALLY don't like the Tiny scaled down TIE Fighter mimicking the scaled down TIE Bomber.
Thanks for the purist Cobb Vanth legs Lego!
The X-wing is so good
The 2021 X-wing actually made an X when the wings were on attack position. This new one makes more of a >-< shape... kinda like the in universe T-85.
I have both previous versions of these vehicles and I'm pretty happy with them, not too thrilled about this set...
The X-Wing body with the Tie Fighter sides is similar to the V-Wing. The X-Wing's wings are also technically S-foils, S being for strike.
I’m so excited for this set!
that is lowkey the best x wing they made
My favorite scale for a Tie fighter is the one from 2011
It’s $180 Australian. It’s insane. INSANE pricing
I appreciate the constructive criticism in this review. You make great points about value. I’m very much on the same page as you in regards to the price being unreasonably high
Cool set
Low key fire set
I feel like the TIE got a bit shafted in terms of detail. Gone is the printed roof hatch, and even the literal reason we call them TIEs, the twin ion engines, are stickers.
for anyone that's a fan of the old EU X-wing books, being able to build an official Deathseed lego set is gonna be a draw.
