@@BrickReporterTrue 😂 BUT it’s a normal thing if something gets more attention the price rises. And considering the Rex from series 1 is really almost impossible to get anymore since it’s been in a short term product - you could only get it in a specific product and the new first card series 1 from 2018 is pretty almost old now and is not being produced anymore and wasn’t that popular for example in Germany. For me in Germany it is almost impossible to get. There basically are NONE. Seriously. So it is not really comparable to the minifig Rex since it’s been available world wide and for a much longer time. I hope I am writing some understandable things here bc it’s 4:24 in the morning I have to go to bed. BUT what I want to aim at is; The P2 Rex Cars Price is really not that far off of being NOT ludicrous. The price spiked here in Germany from ~ 20€ max. 25€ to I just bought one today for 90€. That is insane seeing 20€ was 2-3 weeks ago. And due to being ridiculously rare, being kinda old now and since you guys in the USA really don’t have any the price is not thaaaaaaat ridiculous. But since the beginning I have to say I am also looking at your US Card market with an suspicious eye with all the prices, sellers and selling strategy.
Ask MandR: Do you think LEGO will ever introduce something similar to Hasbro Pulse: Has Lab? There's something sort of similar with bricklink but this would be awesome if LEGO Star Wars could release some stuff that they normally wouldn't have if enough people backed it
Ask MandR: What do you think of mocs, either from private designers or alternative building block companies? Many times the mocs are way more detailed and have a way better price per piece ratio. Thanks.
have you ever considered making the askmandr episodes longer, I really enjoy playing them in the background. Longer episodes would allow for more conversation, granted I'm not sure how long it takes to make the episodes now.
Ask MandR: What did you think of the post from Lego for the 20th anniversary of clone wars with rex and cody on the front? i think it’s really cool to see lego showcase older sets and hope they release it as a poster. it’d be cool if they put it in sets like they used to with posters in 2013
Ask Mandr: Do you like the idea of UCS style sets, but focusing entirely on minifigure scale? I've noticed a lot of custom sets that are pretty dense in terms of piece count so they look really nice, but they're made specifically to work and scale properly with figures. I've kinda stopped buying most Lego Star Wars sets 'cause I just don't find them to look as close to the source material as I'd want.
Q: Imo the helmet holes are not specially disturbing on phase I clones. What set ideas would you give lego to include those in? (Please mention battle pack, play set & UCS if possible)
Ask MandR: In this video you showed some more of your displays which is nice to see however a couple of sets interest me and how you either display or plan to display. So how/what is your plan to display the big sets such as Venator, SSD, Star Destroyer etc? I am having this conundrum at the moment.
Ask m&r: have you ever found vintage lego star wars at a swapmeet or flea market? I was lucky enough to find a 2007 imperial landing craft and a 2006 vwing for $15 I also found a light up luminara figure at a thrift store for 2 dollars 🤯
What i would want to see for the 25 year anniversary of The Phantom Menace is a UCS trade ferderation battleship with obi-wan, qui-gon, and tc-14,a dual of the fates diorama with darth maul, qui gon , and obi wan, a boonta eve classic with anakin, shmi skywalker, sebulba, and gasgano, padmes ship , with queen Amidala, padme, and ric olie
The card thing on WN is absurd. You can literally get cases of these WITH international shipping for less than people are buying 5-10 packs for. People like your buddy, Matty, make up prices and the rarity of these cards and people eat it up. They take advantage of and manipulate uneducated customers. It’s been disgusting to watch as both a buyer and a seller on the platform. Thanks for speaking to it and giving your honest unbiased opinion. People need to hear it from sources like this. Great video, Ryan.
Ask MandR: What do you think about doing a video where you rank each year worst to first based on the UCS sets that came out that year. For example, 2021 would be ranked based on the quality of the gunship and ATAT, 2022 would be ranked based on the quality of the Landspeeder and Razor Crest, and so on.
- If both Lego Death Troopers and Senate Guard Commandos were high value covenant mini-figures, then why is everyone fine with Death Troopers in a battle pack but not with the Senate Commandos?
Week 13 of asking Ask MandR- if lego made a starwars cmf, would you buy them? Personally i would even if there were boxes but I would like to know your opinion.
Ask MandRproduction: Hey Ryan, what is your opinion that the new vented heads have visible mold lines/scratches on them from the factory. Old heads did not have this problem.
I have noticed every single of the new head with the vented stud has 2 scratch marks. Always the same on opposite sides. If you look at the top, from both holes sections there goes a curved scratch, which usually ends in the middle of the head. If the head has print in this location, you can see the color bleeding there a little (especially on eyebrow). Also the scratch is fealtable by fingernails. Some scratches goes even beyond the half way mark. For example my ahsoka on the picture, scratch from top to bottom. At least it is not easily visible, but you will eventually notice it. Why is lego quality decreasing so much? It is clearly not damaged in the bag, but in factory. I am in EU, both cmfs and set figures suffer from this
ASK MandR: Do you think Lego will change the box art for 2024? Maybe a character from Phantom Menace. I'm really tired of the brick look on the box. And I really miss the old Rex and other character boxes. 😪
Ask ManR: do you think the Star Wars multi set packs will eventually end. For example Walmart has a 2 pack of the Hoth At-St and snowtrooper battle pack for 45$.
Do you think there is a possibility to get a republic capitol ship this year? Something like another republic frigate or maybe even an Acclamator. There hasn't been one in like 15 years.
I already admittedly spend too much time in front of my tv, laptop, phone ect. I like putting some music on, opening a beer and building a set with no other stimulants its very relaxing, i dont want my instructions digital i want physical ones.
Ask MandR: In the spirit of Thanksgiving, what things for Lego Star Wars has Lego done this year that you are thankful for? I think it is a good thing to try to find some silver lining, even in a year of helmet holes and misprints.
Can you fit the new Lego Millennium falcon Christmas diorama in the ucs millennium falcon? There’s was an empty square left inside of it and it feels like it could be secretly compatible.

Ask Mandr: Did you see Lego's celebratory post of the anniversary of Lego Clone Wars sets? It includes a backwards Souless One/Grevious Starship flying backwards. They even tried to cover it up with some humor about it jetting away from the CIS cruiser exploding in the background, a "put it in reverse Terry" style of comeback. Quality control at its finest, or just par for the course?
AskMandR: What do you think about the Lego insiders 20th anniversary of the Clone Wars digital poster? And is Lego giving us hints to the next Clone Wars set?
Ask MandR: How do you store your sealed sets, can you show examples? Also i want to display my minifigs in displau cases but people warn me about cracks in the long run, how do you display your minifigs and do you worry about cracks too?
They would have to make it almost indistinguishable from the original. So much so, that you couldn't even tell the difference of the age of the plastic and printing at all. If they are able to do that, then yes, they would crash it. But its probably almost impossible
I work at a sports card store and in my experience when a card sells for cheap and then all of a sudden is bought for a huge price there’s usually some shady stuff going on a seller will create a second account buy there item for a lot of money that way they can show the sold comp and influence someone to buy their item for more than it’s worth

Fyi, they have so many sets each year, they have the capacity for fornight without lowering number of SW sets. They can replace Minecraft, that theme is oversaturated.
Ask MandR: Do you think Lego will ever release a CMF line for Star wars minifigures? They know the fans want it. I never thought they would do Star Wars Mechs so maybe it's Possible?
Ask MandR: What is your preference for battle damage featured on Lego sets. Ex: the 2022 AT-TE includes stickers with blaster marks on them while the 2013 has stickers without them.
Ask M&R: You were so excited to get the venator... Did you rebuild / build a new ucs venator on your own to experience the entire build yourself? Or do you just enjoy the sets themselves more than the building process?
Ask m&r: I recently bought a knock off of the 2020 at-at and pretty good for $50 so should I still continue buying knockoffs if I can't afford the official set?
Ask MandR: You had talked a couple episodes ago about how your glass cases have saved you from having to clean your sets. Do you have larger shelving else where for some of the very big UCS sets that you have (especially the wider ones like the Star Destroyer(s) / Venator), or do you still have to worry about cleaning those from time to time?
Ask MandR: Do you think cloth waistcapes and good quality clones will return for 2025, especially with Fives supposedly coming out and all the clones to go with 20th anniversary of ROTS
Ask MandR: I know most fans want 20th anniversary sets for ROTS in 2025, but I feel Disney would pressure Lego to do 10th anniversary TFA sets. What do predict will happen? More TFA sets or vice versa or a good mix of each?
I love the editor you've had recently. It's just the little things like the "pat pat" or the little parts from the editors from a few videos back. They're just funny little things that spice it up and make it so Ryan is the only character in these videos.
Ask MandR: Do you think the reason LEGO put the clone trooper helmet holes where they are is to prevent the use of custom attachments? Does LEGO not condone the custom accessories?
Ask Mandr: What do you think the best way to calculate the worth of a Minifigure is? I recently tried to do this, but I feel like the price I ended up with is way to high.
Regarding "scalping," it's just simple supply and demand in a free market economy. Sellers, whether Lego initially, or resellers later, will try to charge as much as the market will bear. Lego themselves are selling a box of little plastic parts for $849 and getting away with it. So, it's no suprise the aftermarket prices can skyrocket. I always find it funny when collectors in any community complain that they can't get the things they want for the price they want: they wouldn't be really be collectibles if you could get always get them anywhere at a price you want. And you're not owed anything.
Ask MandR: With the 2020 Lego At-At retiring soon do you think there is potential for them to come out with another one, and if they do you think it could possibly be motorized?
This trading card thing came out of nowhere, I feel like it’s possibly connected to the people trying to keep their Rex values high
especially the fact that REX of all people is the most expensive card
Fr how are they trying to make people think that a p2 rex card is worth more than the real thing 💀
@@BrickReporterTrue 😂 BUT it’s a normal thing if something gets more attention the price rises.

Ask Mandr: how expensive do you think the bad batch cad bane will be when the set retires?
Like it is now probably...
Ask MandR: Do you think the reason LEGO put the clone trooper helmet holes where they are is to prevent the use of custom attachments? Does LEGO not condone the custom accessories?
Ask Mandr: What do you think the best way to calculate the worth of a Minifigure is? I recently tried to do this, but I feel like the price I ended up with is way to high.
I still had that Minifigure (the green scout trooper)
Regarding "scalping," it's just simple supply and demand in a free market economy. Sellers, whether Lego initially, or resellers later, will try to charge as much as the market will bear. Lego themselves are selling a box of little plastic parts for $849 and getting away with it. So, it's no suprise the aftermarket prices can skyrocket. I always find it funny when collectors in any community complain that they can't get the things they want for the price they want: they wouldn't be really be collectibles if you could get always get them anywhere at a price you want. And you're not owed anything.
Ask MandR: With the 2020 Lego At-At retiring soon do you think there is potential for them to come out with another one, and if they do you think it could possibly be motorized?
