The biggest problem with paper bags is being unable to build the set without opening the bag

I would be more excited if I didn’t feel taken advantaged of where LEGO puts out Star Wars sets we want but then shrinks them and charges $20-30 more for many sets compared to what they should be. Big slap in the face. Use to be a day 1 person to now “I’ll wait until it’s 30-40% off”.

Love your videos dude. Keep up the good work. :) You're an inspiration.

I think it’s important to see both sides of the coin: Lego is making a lot of sets with good concepts but there are (and always will be) improvements to be made when executing those ideas

Ungrateful? Bro They sell few pieces of plastic for $60 and fans should be thankfull?

Had to say "I'm greatful for LEGO" last thanksgiving to dodge these allegations 🤧

Such good points! I’m fearful of how downscaled it might be but I’m sure it’s gonna look sleek.

Love the channel, man! Completely agree with everything you said-great points! 🤙

That’s ai

This was a really good video! Any advice for a brand new Lego review channel?

The instructions make up half the price because printing paint is expensive

I see where you are coming from and I like your enthusiasm as a young builder. I miss those days... Anyways, A good study video. I gotta tell you though that for as cool as the new space ship is for $80 it's actually 10 to 20% more expensive then it should be. Not that many pieces and the ones included are big and combined in an elongated way to make the set seems large. Across the whole space line that is the truth. Lego has been testing prices to see what consumers will pay. And you know what? These original lines relative to super expensive IP themes "feel" like a bargain!

liked and sub, great video and makes very sense !!

IMO, LEGO should move away from IP sets and go back to their own themes. Where did you find the info about LEGO smoothing out the cost of IP sets across non-IP sets? Really interesting.

Great video!

man i agree with this guy so much like it would be so awesome to get that f1 truck but with really cool detailed cars

I got Jedi Bob for 20% off and that’s still overpriced 😂

Great point & video! Excited to see official pictures later on!🔥

Waiting to build this set till my replica stickers come in for the cockpits

<~ Downscale stock buyer

I didn’t want to fork out the money for the old set so last year I built two of the old ones from parts I ordered on BrickLink. Only thing it lacks are all the stickers. Found some replica stickers for the Republic logos. Glad I did that because these small sets are ridiculous, yet LEGO increases the prices out of the butt. Even kids, their original target consumer, are being priced out. Better hope granny and their parents have bank.

This is such a LARGE set. (I’m an ant)

Can’t wait to wait this long for an MTT just to get one that’s the size of my pinky toe.

Once again bang on the money Will ! I think this is a great set and honestly shame about the price but we will still get it as Lego already knows For some the slight down scale for this one may be perfect for storing it but like you said you should never put this vehicles side by side lol But love the review Will as always !!!

this is why you only have 118 subs ahhaha

Waiting for a discount Fs. Great video bro!🔥

The wings sagging is not an issue. It's accuracy.

I like the ship and the figures are a top selling point. The fact that it's more solid helps and tbh, I wasn't gonna get this set and was only tempted by the figs for my 2010 version. As I got that in a mixed bin of lego, so no figs. But after watching this video, I realise that its actually alot better than I thought. I don't care about the size really, but would be interesting to match up the 2 versions and see if a bigger and more solid version could be made by modding them. I also get lost with the US prices. 70 seemed high, but it's actually £60 for us, so that will be £40 within the year and for that, it's worth it for parts and figs 100% if nothing else. 😉

It’s a decent set but no way am I paying $70 for a set that should be $40 MAX I’m waiting for someone to come out with a kit that fixes all the issues.

Do you like the new arc-170 ?

What you said at the end there with the McLaren car im very with you. We should look at it as an more collection of every speed champions F1 car so that its more worth it and if they are not gonna sell it anymore well then i guess its worth buying the McLaren and the other F1s that came last year and the year before that and then go over to the others after that

If they jack the prices again im done the sets get snaller yet we are paying more.

honestly it will be hard to make a great MTT that will even be as good as the 2007 one with how goated that set was with the build and the minifigs so im honestly ok with something that at least tries to do good as long as its not an obvious cash grab MTT

Great video! Excited to see official pictures! Just hope everything isn’t scaled down…🔥🤙

What do you think will happen with the new Lego MTT?

Thanks for your follow-up. After 2021 or 2022 I think Lego started to shift away from very pricey, large sets and pipelines that feed into them. Eg Star Wars and UCS. Now, you see the mid size Star Wars sets and I also see this seemingly over diversification of F1 across City, Speed Champions, Icons and Technic lines. But again, I think this is their goal. In this economy, parents sometimes simply cannot go to any option over $20. Having tons of more economical options would thus be a good thing. I remember when I was a kid, I was amongst those who couldn’t go “up the chain”. Dreaming of the big sets, but being grateful for the $12, 100 piece sets. And if they would have featured my favorite F1 team like Red Bull, McLaren or Ferrari, I’d have been very happy indeed. In fact, I still have my 80s City super small, 25 piece, minifig scale f1 car in Senna McLaren colors. I played *years* with that car, I still have it in my room.

I love this subject and would love to deep dive it some more. Come up with some ideas of how we couldve done it better and put it to the chat on a livestream. Great end of year topic.

Hey Will! I do think that you were harsh to the line. But that's ok... or is it? *Vsauce music starts playing *

You accidentally made the title fromula instead of formula

Good video! :) In my opinion the F1 deal is an easy money grab for LEGO, yeah sure, they have to design an F1 car, but they already had the McLaren, Aston and the Mercedes, so it's just minor changes. EASY MONEY! And Lego love easy money :)

I just don't care for sets that I should voer with stickers in order for them to look good. There is nothing that says "cheap" and "low-quality" more than Stickers. Lego would definitely have the resources to padprint every part in these sets without loosing too much profit. I'm sick and tired of stickers, and I'm not buying sets that cheap out on prints anymore.

No you wernt to harsh lego keeps on getting it wrong time and time again even though lego fans have pointed out what there doing wrong, the williams car that is coming out they finally got the rear tyres right after the backlash on the sienna car and yet ONCE AGAIN they failed on the 1/8 cars E.G the ferrari and the red bull car with having the same size tyres all round.I will say at least they got the sponser markings on the tyres finally but that colour of the red bull car is way to bright as well.I ended up buying the rastar Red bull car which does have the correct tyres so i dont get why lego cant OR WONT do the rear tyres correctly which is a shame!

I dunno how I missed that you have a second channel BTW, so will be catching up there.

💯 agreed. I did think the box art was great, but nothing on the 20th silver and black. From what I could gather, what they tried to do with the figs is celebrate all the multiple offshoots of the main franchise through 25 years. Leia - TV shows Fives - Animated shows Saw - standalone movies Kal - gaming Malak - EU (Legends lore) QT-KT - charity (although they ballsed this one up! Maul - Original Wave Figs So it seemed like more of a celebration of Star wars than of Lego, whereas 20th was specifically celebrating them as a union. But if they had atleast come out and said that publicly, that they wanted to 'honour the wider universe of the franchise in Lego by giving us things we would otherwise never get.' Or something, that would be something. Really loved your opinions and ideas in this video though, the over use of that brick and total price of the wave was something I hadn't considered and is mind blowing. I think they need to leave the 1999 anniversary alone for a while now and start to credit the movie anniversary's individually, even if with just one set or be consistent and do none atall. Then mark anniversary of their own achievements as a company with Star Wars instead. Like 20th anniversary of the Battle Pack or 25 years of UCS with just maybe one great set.

Great video!

I understand that F1 is taking over but heres an idea I found from people said that mix F1 with other cars or F1 qs a separate theme. Cause I tierd of constant complain about there lazy and didn't do the proper research, the Speed Champions are different sorry for that being harsh but please understand where I'm coming from.

No f1 is super popular than space

I'm just confused why they decided to go with this line of sets. Speed Champions already had the McLaren, Mercedes and Aston Martin. I also don't understand the need for a second Icons F1 car when Senna's MP4/4 is still on shelves. And I'm not even wanna waste any words on the collectible 'minifig' line, which is 12 times the same build but different colors (the Speed Champions cars are partially different builds)

I currently own every 8-wide Speed Champions set. We already have 3 F-1 cars, two of which are nearly identical builds. The idea of homogenizing my collection with 10 nearly identical builds makes me reconsider being a completionist of this theme. Also if I were in charge of stocking sets at a brick and mortar retailer, I’d be terrified of this line. F1 is popular but it’s a lot more niche than something like space. Space also allowed for a variety of concepts from realistic to fantastical. There’s no way most retailers will be comfortable stocking 10 nearly identical Speed Champions sets along with all these other sets of one specific type of car. I expect there to be a ton of day one purchases of the entire wave from die hard collectors, but I think the hype will quickly fizzle out and the general market won’t be into these. It will be similar to the BTS set.

Perhaps I was to harsh in the title about f1 failing however, I do still believe that too much can be a bad thing the comments have given me a lot to think about and I’ll be making another video this week to discuss more about it
