Just got this set for 25 euros. It's my first set after a 13 year hiatus of being "too old for lego star wars" and I am absolutely pleased with it. My mother made me sell all my Lego at one point, so we're really starting from scratch here, and I think it's just the right size and price point for a cute little impulse buy that can stay on its own or have the potential to grow into a larger collection in the future. Biggest downside for me was the stickers. I've heard people complain about them in reviews, but remembered actually liking them as a kid, but no, y'all are right, it's way too stressful.
It is actually accurate to have the astromech droid not come as a character because in lore the droid was built into the early models of the ship, which is what Obi-wan had.
The only thing that bugs me about this set is the front of the Starfighter isn't pointy and the gaps in-between the wings and the body, but other than that it's perfect imo
@@_____A660 The only piece I know that LEGO has that could have been used to get the pointy front you want would be that triangular shaped piece that first came out for Minecraft. But given its design, it can only sit on top of something as opposed to properly plugging onto the bottom of something, so it wouldn’t have worked the best with the narrow design of a Jedi star-fighter, especially at this size.
@@jaydonmagan4694 the nexo knight shield piece would also work well. Just move it 2 plates forward and put a 2x2 white plate in the gap. Yes it'd just hang off but it would look a bit more accurate.
I'm glad to have this set available. Considering how long it has been since we have had one and the price of the older one. Now if lego can get the logistical issues fixed so it's available for more than 15 minutes and in stores it will be basically perfect! Now for a comparison video!
To solve the wing gap issue, place numerous cheese slopes in the gap. Works great for Anakin's starfighter. Only problem is they won't stay in since there's no connection, but for display that doesn't matter.
Glad we got an Episode II ship again! I'd really love to see a remake of the Bounty Hunter Pursuit set which hasn't ever been remade since its 2002 original release.
Excited to hopefully see Ryan compare the three obi wan starfighter sets! As of now I really like the 2017 one more because it matches the 2018 anakin’s starfighter more closely
To be honest, I really like the 2022 Obi Wan's Jedi Starfighter, mostly because of the Taun Wee minifigure. I don't own the 2017 Obi Wan's Jedi Starfighter with the hyperdrive, so this should be the set to get in August. I like it!
The hood piece looks great when paired with this Obi-Wan figure! My issue with the new hood piece is that it always felt too big and bulky, it felt like a helmet was being worn underneath and it never felt right to me.
I think this is a great set for the price point. Looks accurate enough for a play set with a great selection of minfigs. The Obi-Wan print from torso to legs is very nice. Thanks for showing it off for us Ryan!
I stumbled upon this set at Target today and bought it mainly because I wanted the Obi-Wan minifigure. I wish I'd gotten the Anakin version in 2018, but I wasn't as into Lego sets at the time. Oh well, I'm sure Lego will re-release something with Anakin.
I was on team minifig for this anyway, and it turned out exactly as I would have hoped. Meshes well with other minifigures this way. I think the mini doll would have been really weird and incongruous with a Lego Star Wars set.
I hate that I ever let dozens of sets dozen of dozens of sets fall apart and are now in massive bins, like 4 big bins, they are semi separated, hoping to keep slowly rebuilding sets.
The fact that LEGO decided to increase the price of an unreleased set is baffling. But hey, Only the best is good enough, am I right? Other than that, it’s an easy day 1 buy
Tbh in my opinion the price difference is justified. To my knowledge, 75333 has 3 exclusive figures whereas Anakin’s starfighter only has 1. Plus, inflation (sadly) exists so we must deal with it. And there is a 25 piece difference, so lego more like probably values it like +$5.00 for 2 new exclusive figures, +$2.50 for inflation, and +$2.50 for piece difference.
2.50 dollars for 25 pieces is a bit of scam considering the anakins Jedi starfighter had big wing pieces and cockpit pieces to make up for the difference
I wonder if this set was solidified and done being designed before the idea for back printed R2D2 came about in the two sets from spring wave. Thus we have no back printing here, but we might on all other astromechs moving forward
Hi, MandRproductions. Have you seen that the new LEGO Ideas The Office set was RECENTLY REVEALED by LEGO the other day? It’s supposed to be coming out in October 2022.
Finally they removed the headset from one of the faces, recently all the anakin and obi wan’s startfighters have had that headset on both which makes it less useable in other situations.
With dollar being now worth more than euro we are being overcharged in Europe. Awful on part of LEGO. Also they've been charging 35 Euro for pre-orders before the price adjustments while our local Irish retailer is charging 30 Euro. As for the set I love it. I am so glad LEGO finally got their stuff together and are able to colour match leg and torso printing.
On Anikins ship he gets the same Landing gear piece and for that I like to keep the Landing gear ship to ground contact piece folded up one notch(the tile piece that hits the ground) for a more rounded and fitting look
For the Kaminom (can’t spell it) they should’ve used the extended brick piece they used for the tall woman in Lego Harry Potter from the 2019 clock tower set
If you have a friend that collects crystals you should ask for some or buy some small ones cheap, they make great decorations for sets like this. Like they are protecting kyber crystals etc
This is my only must get set of the summer wave for Star Wars this year. I have the Anakin one and can't wait to put them right next to each other on display. (edit) 2:56 In fairness unlike R2 we never see R4's whole body (at least not in Episode 2 or 3) you just see his head.
i just bought the set today, i love that lego is making more prequel sets. i do hope they also make more jedi starfighters though. i really like the set itself, my biggest flaw is the gap between the body and the wings, but that dosnt make it a bad set though
At 9:06 if you put the full droid in there, its kinda like the jedi Starfighter from the Clone Wars tv show, where the full droid is in the middle of the ship instead of just the head
I've found this set mildly frustrating due to the large gaps on either side of the wings, at first I thought i made a mistake in the instructions but man they really don't fit very well.
I had the speed champions aston martin set and after 5 months of sitting on my shelf the Vulcurey would just crumble in my hands, i rebuilt it and some of the pieces "if the model was turned upside down" would just fall off, but the Vantage was still solid. What are your thoughts on this? 🐨
You know what, I do agree about the taun we, perhaps because long legs are back with avatar, they could have made a long dress piece, and also gave her the long arms
It was really only done for the hyper accurate diorama sets probably to justify how overpriced they are and give more premium vibes. I don't see us getting back prints on regular sets.
6:40 the reason is that those grey and white cilynder pieces don't have a vertical hole for the tecnhic rod to go through so you know, the reason is... it's impossible

Hi! I'm similar, my older brother stole all my Lego. I'm older now and just started buying my own. Interesting finding someone with a similar story
I am so sorry

Cool
But he literally is💀
No but he is a character in the prequels-
I feel like r4 gets blown up and replaced too much for that@@soltandvinegar
When the price increases: **visible confusion**
*visible inflation*
@@MarkySp4rky lmao
I got it for 25 at my local Walmart
I just got for £9 on sale today I’ve only just recently got into lego again this year !
I got this set for 15$ sealed off market place
The only thing that bugs me about this set is the front of the Starfighter isn't pointy and the gaps in-between the wings and the body, but other than that it's perfect imo
While the gaps is a reasonable nitpick, none of the LEGO Jedi star-fighters have a pointy front. Bar the UCS variant.
@@jaydonmagan4694 I expected this to have it, I guess I was more disappointed that others
Tbf the pointy front is probably a super easy mod.

Idk why it took me so long to understand your comment 😅
To solve the wing gap issue, place numerous cheese slopes in the gap. Works great for Anakin's starfighter. Only problem is they won't stay in since there's no connection, but for display that doesn't matter.
Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with Door Rail (Dark Red) even more better result.
I love the fact that you can recreate the scene where Obi-wan contacts the Jedi council in the rain that hood piece is excellent
I just got 100% on Kamino in The Skywalker Saga yesterday. Perfect timing. 👍🏻
Glad we got an Episode II ship again! I'd really love to see a remake of the Bounty Hunter Pursuit set which hasn't ever been remade since its 2002 original release.
I also wish for Jango's Slave I and Duel on Geonosis even though I own the 2013 set
Here's to hoping 2023 brings us a Jangos Slave 1 to go against this set!
Yeah I agree and hope we get a new count dooku minifiguer in 2023
Yes
And a Geonosis Arena.
And a bounty hunter pursuit. And a p2 regular battle pack, and a commando troopers battle pack. And a endor battle pack.
I just want to see a bunch of episode 2 sets honestly.. was hoping we would see that this year with the 20th anniversary of the film
Excited to hopefully see Ryan compare the three obi wan starfighter sets!
As of now I really like the 2017 one more because it matches the 2018 anakin’s starfighter more closely
I can’t wait for a Jedi star fighter comparison. Sesae tin,plo koon,obi wan, anakin,mace windu,maybe even the 2-D clone wars anakins starfighter.
Maybe he could do a comparison between Obi-Wan’s Jedi Interceptor and Obi-Wan’s Jedi Starfighter.
@@fishygobrrrrr I don't think he would do all of them at once there are alot
@@Kirby_.22 it prob wouldn’t include the interceptors tho
To be honest, I really like the 2022 Obi Wan's Jedi Starfighter, mostly because of the Taun Wee minifigure. I don't own the 2017 Obi Wan's Jedi Starfighter with the hyperdrive, so this should be the set to get in August. I like it!
Yeah same here. I wasn’t back into lego in 2017. So I missed the cool star-fighter with the ring. I’m glad to have this set from Attack of the Clones.
The hood piece looks great when paired with this Obi-Wan figure! My issue with the new hood piece is that it always felt too big and bulky, it felt like a helmet was being worn underneath and it never felt right to me.
I think the lego hoodies should be soft and built In a cape
@@Koitto1 That’s a good idea if you want to display it. But if you want to actually play with the figure, then the hood would keep falling off.
It’s slim
I think this is a great set for the price point. Looks accurate enough for a play set with a great selection of minfigs. The Obi-Wan print from torso to legs is very nice. Thanks for showing it off for us Ryan!
Nah I think its a bit too expensive
I stumbled upon this set at Target today and bought it mainly because I wanted the Obi-Wan minifigure. I wish I'd gotten the Anakin version in 2018, but I wasn't as into Lego sets at the time. Oh well, I'm sure Lego will re-release something with Anakin.
well in 2020 you could get Anakin in two sets ( Duel on Mustafar and Anakin's jedi interceptor )
When he fights Assaj Ventress? With the blue jedi starfighter?
With Lego avatar being revealed I feel like the kaminoan figs could really benefit from those new long arms and leg pieces
This is the set I’m allowing myself from this wave. Super hyped as a prequel fan for this one!
Well worth it, prequel fans unite!
What do you think of The Office set?
I swear, that Obi-Wan’s face is the “visible confusion” meme
I was on team minifig for this anyway, and it turned out exactly as I would have hoped. Meshes well with other minifigures this way. I think the mini doll would have been really weird and incongruous with a Lego Star Wars set.
Finally, he’s getting them!
He is indeed
Last time I was this early anakin wasn’t a jedi master yet,
Oh wait...
5:30 For the Gap. All you need just covered it up with Plate, Modified 1 x 2 with Door Rail (Dark Red)
My only preorder this year, and I rebuilt my anakin’s from the bulk bin, time consumingly, in hype.
I hate that I ever let dozens of sets dozen of dozens of sets fall apart and are now in massive bins, like 4 big bins, they are semi separated, hoping to keep slowly rebuilding sets.
Ryan I’m surprised you haven’t made a video on the office set, the ucs razor quest leak and the Indiana Jones set leaks
What i like about you is that you see the problems of the sets, but also the good things about them, and thats something i really like
did you know last year i used to think your name was not pronounced as M AND R productions, I thought it was pronounced as MANDER productions.
I wish the manual had the box art. The box art is very, very nice.
The fact that LEGO decided to increase the price of an unreleased set is baffling. But hey, Only the best is good enough, am I right?
Other than that, it’s an easy day 1 buy
Amazon didn't update their price at least where I live check it's price
The 20 dollar set is 25 adjusted for inflation, plus the extra mini figure with a new mold would bump it up.
@@mirandalockey7334They have added new mould to sets before without bumping up the price, why does it change now
I feel like this would’ve been a good set to put jango fett in instead of a kaminon
I feel like either or is fine. This just feels more like Obi-wan arriving to Kamino rather than leaving
Digging the hooded obi

"You can still hold it by the very tip and it still feels really solid" ... That's... what... she... said...
2018 Anakin Starfighter have one of the best prices of any star wars set
I got this two years ago for my birthday
I must say this review being early is a surprise to be sure but a welcomed one!
I bought this for my boyfriend’s birthday and the big darth Vader Lego figure 🎉, hope and he likes it
Hi, MandRproductions. Have you seen that the new LEGO Ideas The Office set was RECENTLY REVEALED by LEGO the other day? It’s supposed to be coming out in October 2022.
Strange how box art shows R4 with a different print
Great review, I wasn't planning to buy this set but I think will now. Thanks again.
Finally they removed the headset from one of the faces, recently all the anakin and obi wan’s startfighters have had that headset on both which makes it less useable in other situations.
Cool, But what about the Droid attack on the Wookies

another great review Ryan! your channel got me into lego star wars and i love it! already pre ordered this bad baby, can’t wait to have it in hand
So happy to finally have this set! Love the Jedi starfighters and $30 seems pretty alright to me tbh.
I pre ordered this set 4 days ago and if anyone wants this set for 30$ pre order it now because I heard in August it’s gonna raise to 35$
kamino landing pad wouldve been very nice
Thanks for the review.i will buy now.
Definitely a day one purchase
Hey the atte is set back to August 1st
Love the Ed Sheeran minifigure.
i’m glad you talked about the gaps. i thought i built it wrong at first!
For the Kaminom (can’t spell it) they should’ve used the extended brick piece they used for the tall woman in Lego Harry Potter from the 2019 clock tower set

These minifigures are incredible. I don’t collect sets or minifigures, but I really want that Obi-Wan.
Like he has the hood too. Anyways dope for both Geonosis or Kamino MOCs
6:29
"Jedi do not carry blasters." - Literally Obi Wan
i just bought the set today, i love that lego is making more prequel sets. i do hope they also make more jedi starfighters though.
i really like the set itself, my biggest flaw is the gap between the body and the wings, but that dosnt make it a bad set though
The set is easily fixed to a ten with a few white plates attached to the bottom to hide the gaps.
I got it for 23$ at my local Walmart. Also I would have loved to see a slave one to accompany it because we haven’t seen jango fett in years
I want a UCS Jango Slave 1 with Jango minifig. I’d take out a loan to buy that.
Great review of this set you have the best reviews man telling the bad and the good!
At 9:06 if you put the full droid in there, its kinda like the jedi Starfighter from the Clone Wars tv show, where the full droid is in the middle of the ship instead of just the head
I've found this set mildly frustrating due to the large gaps on either side of the wings, at first I thought i made a mistake in the instructions but man they really don't fit very well.
MandR did u see the new Office set?
This year went out on a banger. We got p2 Cody, a kaminoan, long lost inquisitors make their return and CHAD bane
It would’ve been better if then put this and Jango’s slave 1 in a set with a kamino landing pad $140
5: 20
now i have the set on my hands, i can say that you can easily get rid of the gaps by taking just two pieces that make the wings to "Flex"
I really like the 2022 Obi Wan's Jedi Starfighter, mostly because of the minifigures
I do kinda wish they did the mini doll for the Kaminoan, but I like the figure nonetheless. Good looking set
I had the speed champions aston martin set and after 5 months of sitting on my shelf the Vulcurey would just crumble in my hands, i rebuilt it and some of the pieces "if the model was turned upside down" would just fall off, but the Vantage was still solid. What are your thoughts on this? 🐨
Thank you for this amazing review! I have just bought this Lego set and I wanted to see the play features (can’t wait to build
In canon, female kaminoans like Taun We are around 210 cm, so I think she is the perfect size in this set
Honestly I need a remake of obi wans and Anakins Jedi interceptor set
I wish lego would make sets with stud shooter replacements, all arm prints, no stickers and just charge us more money for the extra cost
I just love how they based Obi-Wan's face off the 'Visible Confusion' meme!
You know what, I do agree about the taun we, perhaps because long legs are back with avatar, they could have made a long dress piece, and also gave her the long arms
It's great to have another episode 2 set after so long. Last time I remember us getting one was like 2014ish
Yes, Ryan. Your description was very clear. It comes with our first Kaminoan Mijifigure
Wholesome review
I just dont understand why backprint for the astromechs isn’t a regular thing now
It was really only done for the hyper accurate diorama sets probably to justify how overpriced they are and give more premium vibes. I don't see us getting back prints on regular sets.
Money.
3:10 true, but Obi Wan with the printed robe looks so cool
Good idea for a vid would be to design and build your own hyperspace ring with parts list and instructions.
As Count Dooku said, i've been looking foward to this.
The gaps are an easy fix. Just 6 plate pieces attached underneath to cover the gaps
i know the tan we figure is a big deal, but that obi wan figure is the really great part to me, probably like my favorite obi wan ever made tbh
The set looks really nice, I hope someday we can get a Clone Wars variant where the droid is in front of the cockpit.
They can’t put an axle through the engines because of the 2 pins going through them connecting them to the body of the ship 6:41
I like the instructions they look clean
Seeing this set makes me even happier that I picked up the UCS Obi-Wan's Starfighter before the kenobi show ran
6:40 the reason is that those grey and white cilynder pieces don't have a vertical hole for the tecnhic rod to go through
so you know, the reason is... it's impossible
One of the greatest lego 2022 sets in general
They just include the head in the old sets because the droid is built into the fighter. It can’t come out like in later models.
Pretty sure R4 is just a floating head
Love the content keep it up
That whole cockpit and top of the ship needs to be lowered by at least one whole brick height. 7/10 IMO
Looks good. I actually found the republic fighter tank at target for the first time the other day! One just sitting on the shelf. Couldn’t believe it
This is my favorite set from this year!
