Thank you for being one of the only people online who seem to understand the problems with the massive UCS sets. Yes they're cool and stuff but they're just too big and too expensive. Even if I could afford a 600 € LEGO set I wouldn't be able to fit it in my apartment 😂
And even if you have the money and have some space to place it in, you're likely to prefer using said space for something else if you're not some mega fan. For example, I could get a Razor Crest (would hurt my wallet a little, but doable) and put it on top of a bookshelf, but I have other things I like to keep there and just don't find myself wanting it enough to rearrange my living space.
I bought my first UCS set the republic gunship and it has totally taken up an entire desk thanks to those huge wings. They are cool and all but space is a big issue. The other sets can easily rest on shelves and don’t take up tons of space.
there made for the people who can, and can store it. Why do u care about them in the first place if you cant afford them or have a place for them? They make sets perfectly targeted for you, leave the bigger sets for the people who actually want a huge MOC type build but as an official set without purchasing those pieces individually which would cost way more than just buying the set.
@@TiagoCatarino Every for summer 2023 but not every in general. Sets like tie bomber, upcoming fang fighter vs tie interceptor, Inquisitors ship were well priced. Indiana Jones licensed sets are reasonably priced as well. There still can be good priced sets but I guess not in 18+ zone.
@@TiagoCatarino that logic doesn't work. Its 100% possible for every set to be overpriced. If I change the price of Volkswagen beetles to 10 mil/each is it now worth 10 million because all the others are also overpriced? Or are they all just overpriced?
Great points about the different audiences and the issue of collecting larger UCS sets. I simply can't justify the space for the UCS sets as much as I love them and the three sets here have me reaching for my wallet. Great review, can't wait for the review of the UCS X-wing.
@@RoscoeWasHere Depends on the set. A really good snokes throne room, hyperspace ram, or luke/kylo duel would probably sell well (not sure how they would manage that last one, but still).
@@frankieseaman6614 You don’t see how they’d handle a simple white landscape with some red dust? The Holdo maneuver on the hand, much harder to imagine capturing. That being if they tried to show the split fleet post ram- pre ram? Yeah that’s doable.
I love the dioramas, but the prices on these ones are insane lol seen last years go for 30-50% off recently at random places, I will be waiting to pick these up at that price
The dioramas should've been 50 bucks each. "Everything else is also over priced" just means thay other sets are also a bad deal. Battlepacks should still be 10 dollars imo.
Bro.. would be so mad if a huge set came shipped like that. Im sure that's magnified 10x if it effects your source of income. Appreciate the postive vibes despite all that.
Always love when you release a new review! I never get a set until you review it cus your the most honest Lego reviewer on RUclips! Thanks for making great content!
These would be more popular Adult oriented sets if they weren't so ridiculously overpriced. I genuinely cannot understand how you don't see the two dioramas as expensive. Yes they're in line with prices of the rest of the theme but the majority of the theme is equally overpriced. I also feel the Throne room would have looked better without the plate built border it has around the window as that only distracts my eyes from the actual window which is the more important detail. I love the new more translucent Lightsaber blades as Lightsabers have never been transparant and the new ones create the inner white beam of the blades far better in my opinion.
Cool sets, but the licensed LEGO pricing is getting RIDICULOUS, they're really testing how much they can charge the customers. Remember the only way to vote on the prices is buying or not buying the product from them.
Totally agree with your opinion on the big vs small sets. I like the smaller sets as an adult, and love the small architecture sets. They fit nicely in a display case and are not to overpowering to the rest of the room interior 😅
Thank you for condensing all the reviews into one quick video! Not just trying to grab views with each one. Also, your video production quality and editing just keeps getting better and better! 🌟
I appreciate this video, but man… all 4 of these are just stinkers at the price LEGO is charging. I’m totally priced out. Really tough wave. Thanks for keeping it 100
@@maydayfigs You got yourself a watch! Haha To me, it’s one of the few recent sets with a mildly appropriate piece to price ratio, doesn’t feel like any corners were cut, you get two, maybe could have had a 4th character instead of an astromech but you end up with two substantial builds. AT-TE was a couple of extra clones for $40 more dollars! Emperors throne room is same price for 200 less pieces and a Black Box.
100 DOLLARS FOR THAT SH*T? I remember when I got the old throne room set, it was like 5 times bigger, with more minifigures and a lot of functions! I'm very upset 🤬
I got lucky and I was able to find the set early so I have them both. And no, the play set isn't much bigger than the diorama. Yes it has less Minifigures but keep in mind that inflation is a thing and if that set came out today it would be even more expensive
Your review is the first time i've looked positively over the 3 star wars diorama sets. Might promote them to definitely on sale. ps. thankyou again for making the reviews, love the format as well.
I'm tempted to get the Executor but I'm a bit torn on the price. On one hand I'd be fine with waiting a bit and hopefully catching some discount, but on the other hand I'm afraid it will be one of very short run sets and I may miss my chance to get it if I don't do it quickly enough. Also, after a quick glance on the new UCS X-Wing, honestly it looks like Lego once again failed to fully capture the look properly and many MOCs seem much better to be honest.
@@bobbyc912 You mean the polybag X-wing? I was tempted, but in the end I decided to preorder (as for some reason they were offering preorders in Poland) the Executor and damn the bonus X-wing. Looks like it is also still available here.

The pricing on the 2 diorama sets is still kind of a lot. If it would be 50 Euro for each, or even 60 Euro it would be fairly priced. In my opinion the only sane diorama set that came out recently is the indiana jones diorama with the piece count and what it offers (play features).
I think you're being a bit too charitable on pricing, especially with the architecture sets. Ive never considered buying an architecture set over any other theme because of their value for their price, and that's as someone in the profession and a life long Lego fan. The pricing on the skylines in particular is almost predatory, and I think it's because folks who just want a model or a souvenir of sorts don't necessarily know how much more set they should be getting for the amount they're paying for it
Like I said, but maybe it wasn't clear. Architecture sets were never intended (in my opinion) for AFOLs, they always felt overpriced and people who don't know better or weren't aware of LEGO sets average prices were ok to pay for them. These also feel the same. The target isn't AFOL's, its new audiences. AFOL's will wait for the price on these to go down on a sale or something. People who don't know better, first time buyers, or people who aren't LEGO fans and will be gifting these to Star Wars fans will pay the price without batting an eye.
5:42 yeah i agree with you Tiago when those sets were released alot has been saying 'oh too expensive' or 'i wont buy it its too much' ... its DISNEY we talking theyre as greedy as Nintendo if they can squeeze to the last cent oh they will and its Star Wars of course its going to be expensive ... its Disney Licensing, its LucasFilm Licensing basically tons of licensing, not like Lego Original IPs that they can mark any price
A CIS lukerhulk and a GAR Venator from Clone Wars or the Trade Federation version from TPM would be a great addition to the collection of midi-scale sets. Looking forwards to the Executor. I’ll ignore the others until they are out on sale.
I prefer the look of the this Executor over its larger variant. That one is too large to be a cozy desk model whilst simultaneously being too small to convey the ships many details.
I find the comment about the Snubfighter would have been better as a 2-pack ironic when another Mandalorian set is due for offical reveal any day now that is a 2-pack set.
I'm sure the X-Wing is missing the 1st bag with characters. Classic move by thieves and degenerates is buy a set, to steal bag 1 for the figures and important pieces, then return and claim "missing parts." Or in this case, just steal. So sorry this happened to you!
Lego know they messed up with the Justifier seeing as it has 5x vip points to it. These sets are nice looking but still over priced and not enough minifigs.
Ehh I don't really dig the dioramas as sets. For me, these are something the community would make as MOCS which are awesome, but it's not necessary something I wanna see Lego putting out as products.
Interesting, but flawed reasoning. And I agree that these and helmets are preferable to the average teen or adult. I have way too many in sets in boxes. However, no. Spending more on engineering a collector's set does not justify a 30-50% markup. That isn't how math works. Lego is a multi-national toy giant with the economies of scale to back it.

You didn't talk about the Easter Egg the designers put in the Executor ;)
One word for all of those: OVERPRICED, waiting for discount .. thought about buying sth on May 4th, but again no exclusive minifigs so a pass.
'Teddy bear'
I feel like he is trying to trigger us at this point
Also calling it a planet instead of a moon lol
And not liking Technic
