Besides being way too expensive (which is a serious problem), the set seems really cool and well done. Obviously, the small scene, R2D2 and C3PO behind the compactor, are unnecessary, but again, it's not a bad thing by itself, the problem with it is that it increases the price. Other than that it does no harm to the set.
honestly even getting this for nearly the same price in 2023, I’d have to disagree that the set is expensive. Although I gotta say I’ve just recently gotten into Lego again as an adult after so many years. (So your opinion would probably matter more than mine in this scenario lol) I just think with the pieces and minifigures included it’s an excellent add to any collection for that price.
@@llnnie That's the thing - lego is literally the exact same price as it was 20 years ago per inflation. So if you've been in it a while it;s going to seem a lot more expensive then someone new - who can compare equally across the current lineup as apposed to 5 years ago.
Agree that it probably shouldn't be $90, but ironically, of the 3 Diorama sets we have coming out, this is the one that appeals to me the most by a long shot
I actually really like the inclusion of the R2-D2 and C-3PO involvement. The entire scene was based on their efforts stopping the compactor completing its cycle, with the camera shots jumping in between those two and the unfortunate group inside the machine. Agree that it's added a chunk to the cost, but I would prefer to have the complete set of all characters involved for this particular representation, personally.
I mean yes but in the end it’s a diorama so it’s supposed to be used for display and so you weren’t see the r2 and c3po figures at all, it woulda been better to just not include them as it would reduce the cost significantly while also not taking away much from the diorama.
@@pubg-blsy3352 I do agree, to an extent with your point. However, 'display' does not necessarily mean against a wall, with the back hidden - if you had this in a display cabinet, with multiple viewing angles, it would be visible. Realistically, shaving an extra 15-20% off the price would be fairly inconsequential; as I doubt many people will avoid buying it at the price it is, even if they're not keen on the droid inclusion. But I, personally, might have been less keen, had they not been included, and it were cheaper. I expect a fair number of collectors would agree.
@@3ve873 yeah but even then the back doesn’t look great in the first place so I’m just saying if you were to remove it and make the set cost 20% less it would go from 80£ to 64£ which is much better especially as this isn’t a exactly large set as it have multiple small 1x1 or 2x1 tiles. I mean you can buy a helmet such as the Darth Vader one for much cheaper, 69.99 and the scout trooper one for 49.99 and the dark trooper for 59.99 which are all much better deals in terms of size and display-ability.
Completely agree. It’s one scene but two separate rooms just like in the movie. For a diorama set in has one of the nicest play features too and does it really well
I think the r2d2 and c3po part was so they could include all characters involved in the scene and for structural support cause otherwise it woulda been 3 walls and that’s it, just adds a little strength to the middle
$90 is a high price, but with 809 pieces, six minifigs, a dianoga, the moving walls, and the sleek look of the set it doesn't seem like the worst deal ever. If they had the dual molded C-3po I'd def buy it
I mean, it’s a good set, it looks cool and has some great figs(minus leia not having a skirt) but oh wow that price! How on God’s green Earth does Lego think that $90 is justified?! And to think it’s almost double in Australia.
I'm so glad they finally gave R2D2 a print on the back now. One of my major critiques of Lego Star Wars R2D2 figures is that they never put the back printing on the back of R2D2, and now they finally gave it us, I can only hope they carry it over into Lego Star Wars sets in the future. As for the Stormtrooper waist printing, the only reason I could see them not doing that is because if they have the printing on the waist band, it might not line up with the printing on the torso. But they certainly could do something about that.
The final evolution of stormtrooper is still incomplete, I agree it just needs hip printing. This is probably the set I’ll grab since it got great figures and a great scene.
@@CanadaBricks i can assure you, if p2 cody was in the original trilogy we would have gotten him long ago, the designers just hate the prequels apparently
This is just like Darth Vader's Meditation Chamber; what should be a much more affordable, cheaper playset masquerading as an adult collectors display set with unnecessary pieces thrown in for the fancy but useless base that bumps the price up to an atrocious degree. To put things into perspective and stay in the realm of Lego Star Wars sets, this thing costs the same at retail as both the downsized versions of 75301: Luke Skywalker's X-Wing AND 75300: Imperial TIE Fighter put together! I'd rather buy those again at this price level!
You are right, they made the back section, to increase the price and make it more value. It seemed to be made afterwards, because you cannot even open it. Just added value to make the price more reasonable.
I like the back side and the ability to squeeze it in even if it's not the default state it'll be in. You leave it in normal form on the shelf/table/whatever and show off the extra features when people ask about it. Gives the set a little more life and makes it more of a discussion piece rather than something you keep high up out of reach
I think the reason they have detail on the back is because in all the promo pics they show it displayed on a table in the middle of a room, instead of against a wall
As far as including the droids, it totally might be a price point thing. However, they were a critical part of that scene and it makes sense to include them plugged into a control panel. The placement is weird… maybe they could have put them off to the side and “store” them in the back? I may actually pick this up, haven’t completely decided yet.
I’m surprised no Storm trooper helmets. 90 big ones should come with 2 helmets . I’m going moc the hell out of mine. Working door , dress the back up and possibly build the detention center above it.
As a person who plays warhammer 40k and collects legos $90 isn’t too bad for the amount of plastic you get, compared to warhammer where you’d pay that price and get 2 mini figures worth of plastic so yeah let’s be happy Lego doesn’t do what games workshop does
I like this set, it's expensive but I'm still gonna buy it. Fan of this scene in the movie and a big fan of Han Solo. After spending 750 euro for a UCS Falcon this doesn't feel like a lot of money 😆
But than it wouldn't be accurate whatsoever which is what these sets are supposed to be, the only way that would work would be turning it 90 degrees but than you have one of the walls blocking your view
For the price given it would have been so much greater if they added the detention block on top and like with jabbas palace you can drop the mini figures into the trash compactor. It just adds some more playablitiliy and i could see it looking good in the diorama. I guess I should expect less from Lego
@@glassjar7814 it can still have a feature tho. Like just a hole in the detention centre that you can throw figures down. It already has play features with the closing walls so it’s not much more to ask
I love it but not at $90!!! Sad I definitely can't afford it for me or my kiddos. I'd rather buy 3 more 501st sets lol. Thanks for all your great content bro!
Wonder could we get an Anakin vs Obi wan duel on mustafar diorama considering it would suit the idea. I know Lego don’t like the prequels but this would be perfect
PREACH. Here is a piece of a previous comment of mine. A duel on Mustafar with duel molded legs for Anakin and Obi-Wan on the end of the Lava river, quote would be "It's over Anakin, I have the high ground" - Obi-Wan Kenobi and the high ground would be included. A New Mustafarian could be included as well. They could triple the price on this and I would buy 3, but they don't like money for some reason.
How to make this set better: buy a Flat lego tile, purchase pr print a lego logo sticker, apply sticker, now take your lego tile and replace the red dots next to the garbage hatch and enjoy! Optionally: Add the lego sets from legoland or any set of your choosing into the garbage mix. Now to make this set truly official add the hopes and dreams of the prequel fans getting a good UCS set and you have your dream set.
I don’t agree with your take on the back side of the set. In a community that hypes and values “Easter eggs” so much, this is epic! Plus they’re both improved, exclusive figures, which is also fetishized in the Lego Star Wars community. While of course you will not see this side displayed, the value for me is when showing it to someone who’s at my house and I say “…and check THIS out!”, and turn the set around to expose the two iconic characters hanging out on the other side of the door. I’m not justifying the total price, but I am happy the figures were added, and in a cool, unique way.
The problem is that for most people you’d never see them after building it once. It’s a display set, so many put it on a shelf after building, back against a wall. It’s one thing for a ship to have internal details, especially for play sets that you’re meant to open up to play with, but for a diorama to not be able to see the whole thing, they as well not be there especially not when they’re there just to up the price.
My personal wish for this set, I would have the compacted walls on technic rails so it shifts over instead of clamshell closing, then the computer panel with r2 and 3PO would slot in next to it so you display both sides with the trash compactor on one side and the control panel on the other
I like the back but in my opinion if it wa that important to them to put that there for value, PUT IT on the side! The side of the build makes mores sense or they could’ve mad it a little separate build that is not only more accurate but also will make it worth the right value for 90$
I actually really like the inclusion of 3PO & R2, but I agree that putting them on the backside is pointless. I told my wife I thought they should have extended the set by about 2-3 inches (making it about as wade as the Dagobah set), kept the compactor scene the same size, and use the extra space for the droid build... of course that might have shot the price over $100... even though it would still probably come in at 100 less pieces.
The back piece from the control room is nice, just knowing it's there. not really an easter egg, but definitely a great nod to the scene from the film. I say this, of course, as someone who's a bit older, and grew up with the original trilogy. Also, I think the original trilogy "gets more love" with things like this, in part, because of the demographics between Star Wars fans: what trilogy they gravitate to, what their life status and buying habits look like, etc. I suspect that as time passes, you will eventually see a decline in attention to the original trilogy, and an increasing move towards the prequels, at least for the very expensive pieces.
I don't know why but this set just doesn't resonate with me. The figures are pretty good, although the hip on the stormtroopers aren't quite right yet. But this kit just is missing something. Maybe its that the real scene had a lot more garbage lying around, I'm not sure. The idea is good, the mechanism is cool, but I just don't see this as well executed. plus the price, sheesh
The reason why the back is included is because Lego wanted to find a way to include 2 more minifigures. R2D2 and C-3PO weren’t in the trash compactor, so they had to build an additional “playset” for those two characters to come with this set. It’s not about the set of the back that increases the price, it’s the minifigs.
Maybes have R2 and 3PO on the side of the compactor, so when the walls are compressed they become more of the feature than stuck on the back out of context...
Aaaah yes, original trilogy diorama sets for the 20th anniversary of attack of the clones surely would have been cool to have, I dunno a geonosis diorama but you know its lego
$90 for this set is sickening. It isn't anywhere near worth that much. That being said, it's amazing how they made all of the junk not collide, and I love that they put in C-3PO and R2-D2. It's cool to turn around and show people.
Hey there, this will prob get buried BUT. I've been getting back into Lego star wars for the first time in 12 years and your channel helped a lot!! Do you think you could do a few alternative builds for the 501st trooper battlepack? Since you're the GOD of the 501st battle pack. I dont mean just one alternative. I'd love something massive! Like 4 or 5! Please!
"When Lego decide to make a set they set a price point, they don't make a set and give it a price point". 2022 Iron Man Hall of Armor, Ninjago Summer wave are making me begin to have doubts.
We’ll get more dioramas for sure. Only OT that is though because there apparently isn’t enough to do for the prequels. Also, no exclusive figures in expensive sets only applies to prequel sets. This set doesn’t appeal to me because it’s just so random which is why I passed on Vader’s meditation chamber and the price is another factor. Really these sets should be $60 max.
Imagine a Palpatine's arrest diorama with a quote tile "I am the Senate" - The Senate. Or better yet, a duel on Mustafar with duel molded legs for Anakin and Obi-Wan on the end of the Lava river, quote would be "It's over Anakin, I have the high ground" - Obi-Wan Kenobi and the high ground would be included. A New Mustafarian could be included as well. There are limitless possibilities, but like you implied Lego does not care.
$90? Sure, I’d buy that as a kid since I didn’t understand the value of money lol. But now, I can’t justify spending that much on top of my rent, bills, gas, food, etc. I’ll always have good memories playing my Legos as a kid. Once I have my own, I’m passing down all my sets to them.
well thanks for pointing that this set is too expensive. i thought it is expensive only because in Poland almost every LEGO seems to be a lil bit pricey
I don't get why everyone is making such a fuss about hip printing and arm printing. I personally believe that arm printing should be as simple as possible and hips should stay clear for the most part. Overdetailed figures seem incredible weird, part of the charm of lego is the fun, quirky and simple design of their figures, while still keeping their iconic features. Figures like Vader look great with arm printing and leg printing, while ROTJ Luke looks perfect with no arm and leg printing, and his classic lego hairpiece. Another example would be clone troopers, I don't believe arm printing would look good on clone troopers without making the figures feel overdetailed, proof of that being the original captain rex phase 2 minifigure.
For an updated R2D2 I wish they would change the top of the body to a single centralized stud so you could swivel the head.
Ikr its been so many years
that would be easy to pops off lol.
They always leave room for improvements on their minifigs.
@@Dx-to5vx …then they never improve them

It’s not about the set of the back that increases the price, it’s the minifigs.
Guys, should I buy another 501th battle pack, the tie fighter or the slave 1?
501st battle pack. I’ve bought 6. Not all at once. And gave one to my nephew.
This is a set that needs to be on a small lazy Susan.
today i bought all Diorama´s and i got the nice Kitchen with BERU...so so so nice all those sets! I like it so much.
i want a new darth maul
Maybes have R2 and 3PO on the side of the compactor, so when the walls are compressed they become more of the feature than stuck on the back out of context...
Just bought this. I'm gonna try and build it without the door - so you can see R2D2 & C3PO stood there !!!
Aaaah yes, original trilogy diorama sets for the 20th anniversary of attack of the clones surely would have been cool to have, I dunno a geonosis diorama but you know its lego
If only they had that updated R2-D2 minifig for the UCS R2-D2 set last year...
$90 for this set is sickening. It isn't anywhere near worth that much. That being said, it's amazing how they made all of the junk not collide, and I love that they put in C-3PO and R2-D2. It's cool to turn around and show people.
Do your thing that there is a good chance of a Cody or grievous to be included in the at-te.
Why grievous?
Hey there, this will prob get buried BUT. I've been getting back into Lego star wars for the first time in 12 years and your channel helped a lot!!
Do you think you could do a few alternative builds for the 501st trooper battlepack? Since you're the GOD of the 501st battle pack.
I dont mean just one alternative. I'd love something massive! Like 4 or 5! Please!
Man, this set really is “overpriced trash”
Oh wait, he said that in the intro
If this was 70-80$ I would actually considered buying this set
The set would have been better if the door opened so you could see r2 and c2po from the front.
Ya know, for a diorama set, they should do the detention level control scene
Love this content
I was really early without noticing
What a awesome video MandR Productions 🙂 👍 😀 👏.
Oh yes I remember it like yesterday watching Luke gets sucked down into the abyss in the trash compactor
"When Lego decide to make a set they set a price point, they don't make a set and give it a price point". 2022 Iron Man Hall of Armor, Ninjago Summer wave are making me begin to have doubts.
I'd love more dioramas. Not sure how this fits into the "adult market" though. Feels like a playset to me.
The quote still should've been "what an incredible smell you've discovered"- Han Solo
We’ll get more dioramas for sure. Only OT that is though because there apparently isn’t enough to do for the prequels. Also, no exclusive figures in expensive sets only applies to prequel sets. This set doesn’t appeal to me because it’s just so random which is why I passed on Vader’s meditation chamber and the price is another factor. Really these sets should be $60 max.
Imagine a Palpatine's arrest diorama with a quote tile "I am the Senate" - The Senate.
Or better yet, a duel on Mustafar with duel molded legs for Anakin and Obi-Wan on the end of the Lava river, quote would be "It's over Anakin, I have the high ground" - Obi-Wan Kenobi and the high ground would be included. A New Mustafarian could be included as well.
There are limitless possibilities, but like you implied Lego does not care.
$90? Sure, I’d buy that as a kid since I didn’t understand the value of money lol. But now, I can’t justify spending that much on top of my rent, bills, gas, food, etc. I’ll always have good memories playing my Legos as a kid. Once I have my own, I’m passing down all my sets to them.
I’m honestly surprised he didn’t mention no double vip for this set too
Pretty clean I'll wait til double vip points with no restrictions
well thanks for pointing that this set is too expensive. i thought it is expensive only because in Poland almost every LEGO seems to be a lil bit pricey
I don't get why everyone is making such a fuss about hip printing and arm printing. I personally believe that arm printing should be as simple as possible and hips should stay clear for the most part. Overdetailed figures seem incredible weird, part of the charm of lego is the fun, quirky and simple design of their figures, while still keeping their iconic features. Figures like Vader look great with arm printing and leg printing, while ROTJ Luke looks perfect with no arm and leg printing, and his classic lego hairpiece. Another example would be clone troopers, I don't believe arm printing would look good on clone troopers without making the figures feel overdetailed, proof of that being the original captain rex phase 2 minifigure.
Bro give us review on UCS landspeeder 🔥🔥
It's pricey but it's also really well done. The other sets might be cheaper, but I'd take this over the other ones.
One day mandr will give a set a good review lol
Wow
I JUST REALIZED THAT MAYBE THE YELLOW CLONE IN THE UCS GUNSHIP MIGHT BE COMMANDER PONDS
I have five special commando units awaiting your orders, sir.
$90 for 800 pieces is atrocious
Ikr compare that to the Jurassic world diarama ! You get and extra 400 + pieces!
Leg Printing For R2-D2
I personaly thing that they included the 2 extra minifigs in order not to end up with a 90 $ set with 4 minifigs
