Here's the set on Amazon where I bought this very set: amzn.to/31WudEQ _(It's an affiliate link, which changes nothing for you, but could give me a tiny commission.)_ Do beware that some Amazon LEGO sets now ship by default with no outer shipping box, just a mailing label directly on the set box to save cost & avoid waste. They'll warn you if they're going to do that and *they give you the option* to "Ship in Amazon packaging" which is the normal way you'd expect.
That could be considered a plus, too, since it's less wasteful to not double-box things (like the old complaint of putting plastic around fruit with skins!). Though I do understand how this impacts people who like to keep their boxes as a collectable too.

Omar Chehab If you look at the underside of the wings, there are 2 2x2 slots for landing gear ln each wing like in the movie. Make some yourself with skids, technic or just a plain brick and the set will be elevated.
Honestly I don’t care about the interior space, this’ll just sit on my shelf and look cool. And that’s exactly what this one can do, I’m actually not a fan of the sequels personally however I sure will be getting this set
Noobi Kenoobi I’ll try to get this set too & to me the space is fine as well. Another space ship I have fits just 3 minifigs and this one fits 5 so I’m happy
I've been waiting and hoping that Lego gets to do Kylo Ren's shuttle again, correctly this time. I'm glad they got the chance! I'll be picking this ship up for sure.
shoua7 I just knew that they were going to make it again this year. It made sense even back when the last one was first revealed I thought that they would likely come back and have another go at making this far more accurate ahead of the last movie in this trilogy. I’m not disappointed though. It’s basically the same price as the last but far more accurate with better figures as well.
to be honest i like your mod of the 2015 version more than the current version :'D i prefer the big interior space ofc the new one has cooler figs and its muuuuch less work to just build it instead of modifying the old one still good job ^____^
There is an awesome alternative build for the old version of this set on Rebrickable, where you can use the parts to build an awesome star destroyer whith no extra parts, so I recommend building that instead of selling your old version.
I got the original one in 2015 and I loved that version, and I just picked this guy up on Force Friday. I absolutely love this new one! It looks so good and I honestly like both but this new one is just so much better and cooler looking. Great review!
Vivid Username Yeah your right, it is either gonna be Sith Troopers, or more Jetpack Troopers, or both, or Sith Jetpack troopers? Guess we’ll see. Might still get one, just to accompany a first order general or Kylo Ren.
I absolutely love this set. LEGO has redeemed themselves after the debacle with the 2015 version. Now I can only hope that they make up for the First Order AT-ST and actually give us a full First Order AT-ST in the near future... I really hope so I really, really love their design and hopefully they appear in ep9.
I wish I had asked a question now. Which do you think is better; your custom build on the new set? I'm curious for 2 reasons. One I like your set and just generally want to know and 2 I asked this because I have designed one where the wings are moveable and it's in black. Have ordered some parts for it just not all. So not sure if to continue with it (basically to get cabin space) or just go with new sleeker design.
I love the new design, I just hate that I have to buy the 2019. When I bought the 2015 edition I was really happy, but now the built a better looking one and cooler one.😭
Really loved your review. I previously watched the rest of the reviews and was waiting for yours deseperately. you are very crtitical about the set, the rest of the reviews I watched was all about loving the set. so I liked that very much liked the comparision and the analysis you provide beteween the new and the old model.
Is it possible that there is a darker background available when reviewing. Or even just reviewing Lego sets in you "time lapse table" for speed builds. I feel like that qould have more of a warmer presence for the nighttime. However, as I said, this would probably only come into effect when you happen to upload later in the evening though
This is my first LEGO Star Wars set for the new Trilogy! As much as I dislike the movie itself, this shuttle and the excellent Minifigure selection is just too cool a set to miss
lan so you dislike something before you have even seen it. Personally I enjoyed the sequel trilogy so have a fair few sets from it. One I would suggest getting would be the resistance troop transport from 2016. That is a good build.
Thank you for another excellent and well thought out review, including the detailed comparison with the 2015 version (75104) and with your modified 75104 version as well. Regarding the price comparison with the 2015 version, here in Europe it has hardly changed between the 75104 (old) and the 75256 (new): Germany: 120 Euro (old) vs 120 Euro (new) UK: 100 GBP (old) vs 100 GBP (new) Netherlands: 130 Euro (old) vs 130 Euro (new) Waiting for a good sale or promo will definitely be worth it though!
99sharkbate I think they bumped up the price of the last one though during its life time bizarrely enough. From what I remember. Only by £10 but still. You can still find the last one at normal full price. This though is basically £10 and is so much better. It also has the same piece count as well.
Here's a question. Would the opening mechanism be backwards compatible with the Bat Tank from the Killer Croc set? The ram went forward easily enough but the mechanism didn't really work bringing it back
I don’t really like the new hood piece. It feels too block and kinda like a low poly render. I agree with you though that it does look better here than on say Obi Wan
Solution to having the wings splay out + trunk space and not have the wings flop around = hinge pieces. I don't know why they didn't do a pair of hinges with ball joints for locking, like the uwing. Frustrating for me, but I still got the set. I may modify.
Honestly I think your edit for the 2015 version actually looks better than Lego’s version, no offense to Lego though I really love theirs too, but idk your edit just looks really good.
So there’re 6 Knights of Ren ( not included Kylo Ren) and this set has 2 of them which means . . . . They’re gonna release a Knight of Ren battle pack aren’t they...cheeky....
I prefer Jangs MOC. The new shuttle fuselage looks too flat, almost squashed. Sure the wings are better versus the original. I think I will enjoy modifying my original shuttle rather than paying for a new version of this model. But thanks to Lego for at least hearing the fans who asked for a more accurate version.
10:00 I wouldn't put so much blame in the design of the 2015 shuttle. Perhaps lego designers got the early concept sketches where the shuttle is greyish and the wings don't fold outwards. Just like the Lego heavy scout walker 75177 was produced, but was never in the movie
It's certainly possible. Some other 1st run toys of the same ship were the right colors though, and one of the first also had bent wings. I don't know if all of the merchandisers based their initial products off information from the same event/time, thought I would expect multiple of them did.
@@JANGBRiCKS mmm, perhaps. I do know these sets release about 3 months before the movie, so lego designers must've got early access to the design about a year prior movie release, and I tip my hat to those lego designers for making these sets. You gotta admire the architecture and engineering involved in designing these sets.
I like the cockpit of the 2015 model better. In The force awakens you have that scene at the end were we can see into the ship from the outside and see how big the interior is, the 2015 model has the see through pieces on the front that I think make that little difference. The new one is all red and you can see inside that little bit.
Really great video I would buy it off of your video because of how well you described the ship. I’m going to save up thank you sooooo much jangbricks your the best.
I never got the 2015 shuttle, mainly because the lack of folding wings was a turn off. Good for lego to design this 2019 version true to its movie version. And the selection of minifigs is definitely on my buy list
In my opinion the best value set of the new StarWars9 sets; they fixed the design, accurate colour, wing-movement + great new minifigs (Sith Trooper, KnightsOfRen). The price is fair for StarWars-licence. I hope for a UCS-Version in the future, where the wings fold actualy inside + a bigger interior/cockpit - In the LastJedi "Craite battlescene" Kylo + Hux actualy stand in a huge control bridge of the shuttle !!
Holding it by the wing and it not coming appart was quite the surprise. Your braver then I am, but I stopped buying capital ships after clone wars so perhaps I'm used to shaker ships. :P Lovely work on your own version by the way.
did get it yesterday, found an online retailer that sold it for 100. and ordered some displaystand from wickedbrick. did spend most of the afternoon building it . i do hope there will be more sets offering other knights of ren
I really don’t like the fact that they’re asking close to $150 just for some fancy wings stuff. I may be under looking some features but please explain to me.
hi Jang, any plans to mod this or the old version in black, with the build/parts of the new set? I have the old in black also, may make the wings bigger to keep the interior, and add some of the exterior changes from this set,
jake adams which knowing Lego would only include like two or three of the figures as actual sith troopers then the left over slot/s as something else even just a regular stormtrooper.

Why is LEGO switching back to old style of capes I am confused
Good info here!
Jang Up! Here comes the merch!
Thanks for the great fair reviews. Of course always waiting for more original city builds.
I love how the sith trooper has a look of all 3 eras in it.
@STEVE LE I like them but they kind of look like shades lol
“Good news,the wings are now operated from outside! “Great,what’s the bad news?” “You and Fred are gonna have to walk!”
YES
Fun fact Upsilon is the German name for the letter Y which is why Kylo Ren’s ship is called an Upsilon class shuttle given it’s Y like wing shape
Just got this bad boy for my bday yesterday, and saw The Rise of Skywalker. Loved both of them.
Really like how you show the set while you show the figs. I think it's a lot better than when it's just a white background.
Thanks for working so hard on these reviews even at this hour of night! This set looks great and a gigantic improvement from the force awakens one
I wish the boarding ramp was more accessible otherwise it is a great set
Buy it and then make it so ! Modify it yourself... 😉

Earl Sun but this only fits 3
admiralwaffle4 it’s meant to fit 3 but if you squeeze some in it could definitely fit more
Ayyyyyye the wings actually rotate!

Got mine today. At legoworld. Got it signed by the designer themselves

Ok boomer Boba fett
I would honestly buy a shirt that said “Jang Up!”
That was amazing idea to include Q and A into reviews.
hey love the new direction of putting in some viewer asked questions! and as always brilliant set analysis keep up the amazing work
Much better than set from 2015, but still should be better - bigger wings for example. Perfect minifigures!
Edge of Bricks DIY
Just get two copies of the set and combine the wings
I kinda hope they're gonna do a Sith Trooper battle pack thing, that'd be cool.
Premier Rik Latyeskov me too
Fun Fact:
This set has NO stickers included
Finally no more rage quiting over stickers
Yeah stickers were my worst enemy
@@brae_t same dude im 13 but im almost always asking for my 10 years sister to stick them
I really appreciate your effort in these reviews Jang, thank you for working so hard on giving lego fans some nice information.
I totally agree! Hear hear!
Yes!
ok fbi
Thanks for the arrow to point the tiny peices it really helps
I'm glad they re-released this gives me another chance at it.
There is an awesome alternative build for the old version of this set on Rebrickable, where you can use the parts to build an awesome star destroyer whith no extra parts, so I recommend building that instead of selling your old version.
Only Episode 9 set I'd want at this moment.

Nice profile pic, you must’ve heard the Tragedy of Darth Plagueis The Wise!!
It's not a story the Jedi would tell you
*Only includes one Sith Trooper,*
Me: Welp, to eBay I go.
Fallout Mc Gee69 I’m pretty sure they’re releasing a battle pack next year with the sixth trooper so probably shouldn’t go on eBay
Bricklink, my man.

@@falloutmcgee6948 lol how did u know
We're going to have a Sith Trooper battle pack in January.
I bought this set yesterday ready for Christmas, can't wait
I'm not a star wars fan at all but the design and overall look caught my eye so I'm looking forward to purchasing.

22:00 That just made my day. Thanks Jang! Hopefully it should work out.
I want a "JangUp!" Drink
Still prefer the modded version I did, partially inspired by yours, but mines has ratcheted joints AND the missile launchers inside the wings.
Videos like this are we love you Jang. Your quirky sense of humour and honest insight.
JANG, I appreciate the attention to detail and quality in each of your videos. Thank you very much!
That new hood would look amazing on palpatine
The Benjaman agreed
I think it'd work for any character.
Well, everything looks amazing on the SENATE
klmn krstf Not yet
I want this set for Christmas and thanks to you now I know everything thing about it 😄. Also I subbed ❤️
Finally they got it right
Jang's impression of Hank Hill though 😂😂
I really hope I can get that set it looks so cool I love the minifigs and the improvements to the 2015 set
Can't wait for this set to go on sale!

Jangbricks>>>Lego designers
This is probably the best set of the wave. I definitely plan to get it.
i like how they managed to fit the same pieces
Nice review Jang. Can’t wait to get mine
The onscreen Q/A thing is an amazing idea

Been a while since ive been here. Happy to see youre still uploading quality family friendly reviews. Keep up the good work jang
The propane won this video over for me tenfold 😆

THAT'S MY MOC, I DON'T KNOW YOU
Here's a question. Would the opening mechanism be backwards compatible with the Bat Tank from the Killer Croc set? The ram went forward easily enough but the mechanism didn't really work bringing it back

I think you could probably make a perfect shuttle with the old ones body section and the new ones wings/mech and color
You could totally put an engine system in there. Fuel is another problem. The propulsion system would be very weak and the craft couldn’t go too fast.
Honestly I think your edit for the 2015 version actually looks better than Lego’s version, no offense to Lego though I really love theirs too, but idk your edit just looks really good.
So there’re 6 Knights of Ren ( not included Kylo Ren) and this set has 2 of them which means
.
.
.
.
They’re gonna release a Knight of Ren battle pack aren’t they...cheeky....
Right?? Let's hope
I wouldn't mind if stud-shooters would be in a Knights of Ren 6 figure battle pack :)
They shouldn't make it a battlepack. Battlepacks are meant to be bought in mass, but i dont feel like collecting 50 Rogue Hoods.
If they release a knights of ren battle pack I don't think it will come with all 6 of them. I think it will come with the remaining 4 knights.
I hope!

I love jangs little pointer thing, jang how do you make this?
I want this set in a battle of crait
Okay that new wing is really cool
UpJang is Gnaj's brother.
Mind. Blown.
Definitely going to pick this one up for display
If you bought both, you could probably fit all the figures between the 2 ( 9 in the original and 3 in the new one)
Is It too early to talk about the movie?
Because I dont remember seeing this on it
imtheboss I’ve heard it can be seen docked in a star destroyer, but that’s all

@@5trider29 From what I've heard, you're absolutely right, they start work about a year before the release!
You have to admit tho one of the LEGO executives probably saw your modified shuttle MOC video . . . just sayin
thanks Jang, always value your input
Hey Jang, could you tell me which one is better the Millennium Falcon or this set.
I liked the older version, but i tore it apart for parts. Plus i like the new features and colouring for the new version
I like the cockpit of the 2015 model better. In The force awakens you have that scene at the end were we can see into the ship from the outside and see how big the interior is, the 2015 model has the see through pieces on the front that I think make that little difference.

Did they go back to the old capes? It doesn’t look like the figures are wearing the new, quite thick looking fabric capes..
Fantastic set!

Honestly one of the only Episode IX sets I'm interested in.
I never got the 2015 shuttle, mainly because the lack of folding wings was a turn off. Good for lego to design this 2019 version true to its movie version. And the selection of minifigs is definitely on my buy list
Much better job on Lego's part. Ultimately new-canon stuff has no place in my collection, but I might end up buying a few of the figs for parts.
I like this format
There is a day 1 sale in Australia for this set $135 AUD ($90 USD) at Target.
Do you know when this sale is happening? I've found the listing but it's not available anywhere ATM, cheers
Do you think we will ever get a UCS Command Shuttle?
The Sentinel class shuttle will always be the best and is obviously superior to the Lambda.
In my opinion the best value set of the new StarWars9 sets; they fixed the design, accurate colour, wing-movement + great new minifigs (Sith Trooper, KnightsOfRen).
The price is fair for StarWars-licence.
I hope for a UCS-Version in the future, where the wings fold actualy inside + a bigger interior/cockpit - In the LastJedi "Craite battlescene" Kylo + Hux actualy stand in a huge control bridge of the shuttle !!
U should make a UCS kylo ren shuttle with interior
Still prefer Krennic’s shuttle and this set is overpriced in my opinion, figures are good though. Nice review Jang.👍🏻
Holding it by the wing and it not coming appart was quite the surprise. Your braver then I am, but I stopped buying capital ships after clone wars so perhaps I'm used to shaker ships. :P

For the knights of Ren the one on the right is Ushar and the one on the left is Ap’lek
I think using exact same piece count is definitely intentional, they even removed the brick separator!
hi Jang, any plans to mod this or the old version in black, with the build/parts of the new set? I have the old in black also, may make the wings bigger to keep the interior, and add some of the exterior changes from this set,
