MERRY CHRISTMAS! 🎅💙👌🏼 Thanks for joining me on this Christmas Special ib the O.O.K channel. What better thing to share on Christmas Day than the opening of a huge Star Wars 3 75 vehicle playset; the J-type 327 Nubian Blockade Runner, also known as the Naboo Royal Starship! This vehicle features in Star Wars Episode 1: The Phantom Menace; the toy was released by @Hasbro around the same time! Once again, I felt this would be a wonderful ship to share in Christmas Day with its late 90s parallels with the 80s Millennium Falcon (a Christmas gift for many a child) PLUS it's a suitable warm up before I and many others get our hands on the Razorcrest! 🤯🙃 Thanks for watching and I hope you enjoy this extended opening/unboxing of a mint condition vehicle over two decades old! 💙 O.O.K 👌🏼🎅 STAR WARS 3.75 VEHICLES: ruclips.net/p/PLs24RR8CP194AYCRgnWfSCeHucNVVqTXA Support me on Patreon: www.patreon.com/onlyonekenobi Twitter / Facebook / Instagram @onlyonekenobi INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/onlyonekenobi FACEBOOK: facebook.com/onlyonekenobi TWITTER: twitter.com/onlyonekenobi Only One Kenobi PO Box 252 Wirral, CH31 9GE UK THANK YOU PATRONS! #OnlyOneKenobi #StarWars375 #Keep375alive #NabooRoyalStarship #Hasbro #Kenner #HasbroPulse #Haslab #Lucasfilm #ThePhantomMenace #StarWarsVehicles #Naboo #JtypeNubian #nubianqueen #JTYPE #Jtype327 #Jtype327nubianstarship #NubianStarship #StarWars #StarWarsTPM #QueenAmidala #PhantomMenace #StarWarsEpisode1 #StarWarsHasbro
I’ve never given that ship a second glance. Your video convinced me that the Naboo Royal Cruiser is worthy to be in any Star Wars collection! Merry Christmas!
It's always great watching kids open their toys on Christmas haha. I'm glad the battery compartment was salvageable and yes I would love to see you vac metalize it.
You need to clean the battery compartment connectors with white vinegar and a cotton schwab Only Wan Kenobi. I've done that with some of my corroded battery connectors in ships and it makes a hell of a difference.
There's nothing distilled white vinegar can't fix! I've just cleaned up some chrome taps. On fixing mess from corroded batteries, Toy Polloi, of course, has advice on it: ruclips.net/video/XoZKUsQ6anA/видео.html
This was a real treat man!! I pick up a cans of electrical contact cleaner at the auto parts store for this sort of thing. Spray some in a jar and dip some q-tips in the cleaner and give those springs and contacts some extra love to stop any corrosion and preserve them. Just a thought.. but I love this ship, this was a lot of fun to watch it be opened!! Thank you for sharing!!
That was an epic presentation! As my gift to you I let the 22 + ads roll on your video and it took 1 hour and 10 mins to watch. That ship is very impressive, and to film from daylight to darkness is a great effort! Merry Christmas my friend!
🤣🤣🤣🤣 WHAA!? 22 ads!?! Haha i know video was king but had no idea it rolled that many ads would be on Mike! Haha. Much appreciated 🙏 But more importantly (and seriously), despite this being a nice thing to open and review for Christmas Day, I really hope this video helps future people know what to expect when they open this thing from mint.... batteries 🔋 etc.... As more time goes by, the worse the condition of the batteries will be sadly I guess (and the more potential harm to the electronics)
Great video OOK, thanks for sharing with us all on Christmas day. Fantastic ship, imagine getting g that as a kid - fantastic. Keep up the good work, your a star wars legend😁
WONDERFUL MATE!!! Just got mine this past Sunday at the Chicago Toy Show. The vendor I guess was desperate in getting rid of it, and he gave me a deal of $220 U.S. along with a Rogue One AT-ACT walker. YESS!! Both vehicles mint, and for a spectacular deal. My jaw dropped when he wanted to get rid of the ship for only $80. Glad to see this unboxing and review is by you! Keep on with this most amazing FUN channel. 🤩🤩🤩🥳🥳🥳
Hi mate. Merry Christmas. To get the spring and battery connectors looking good as new, I would invest in a fibre tipped pen and gently rub all the metal parts. That will also get the rust off. Nice toy by the way.
Thats an amazing ship/playset!!!! My son had it when he was a kid and it was awesome we had tones of fun with it!!!!! Keep up the great work man love the content 👏
Fun fact: That ship is one of the few modern Hasbro pieces (if not the only one) that was manufactured in Mexico and not in China. I got mine back in the day. It cost me 500 Mexican pesos back then. Good thing you got it as a Christmas present. Congratulations and excellent video.
Merry Christmas O.O.K! The ship looks fantastic. The family got me a Skiff, the Carbon Freezing Chamber, about 7 figures and a god damn AT-AT so I was a pretty happy camper this Christmas 😂
There's a product called "Rub n Buff". Its a cream, you apply it then buff it and it becomes metalic. There is also a professional spray chrome process used on cars,its not cheap but looks awsome. Either way stock is best in my opinion.
Try a bit of vinigar on a toothbrush do remove corrosion mate😉 Lucky that you got it going again, a good looking ship for sure. Merry Xmas Nick🎅🎄🎁 Cheers👍🏻🍻
You actually get everything I’ve ever wanted. 😂 I still see that around. Always tempting me! She’s a Temptress… If anyone ever broke into your home, I’m sure you would beat them to death with an officially licensed Obi-Wan Kenobi lightsaber!
Hahaha thanks for checking out sine older videos.... well, this one was only 12 months ago. But yeah, she is a beauty! I'd actually be very interested to get the MTT in future 👍🏼👍🏼
Only One...I was gonna pick one of these up a couple of years ago for £350 but was nervous about the leaked batteries. I picked one up this week for £292 delivered. Battery compartment and components are clean and all intact. Just a few superficial spots that I should be able to clean off. Electronics work straight out of the box with new batteries. I feel lucky! I did worry about it. Thanks for this video...inspired me to make the leap and get one.
Great looking ship OOK, has always been one of my favourites, something about the slick streamline look definitely looked classy!! A little annoying how some panels aren't flush, easily fixed with a magnet or blu-tac but shouldn't need to be fixing it if Hasbro got it right the first time! 😆 How cool would this have looked in Vac-Metal, I love the look of Vac-metal I want to see it used on everything! This would be an awesome Haslab project to do in Vac-metal and to get the scale right. I want to see my reflection on the paint apps of the ship would look awesome. Such a cool design this ship has! Merry Christmas OOK!! Ho Ho Ho 🎅🎅🎅
A great addition to your collection congratulations I remember when it came out early 2000 I had bought it and I’d spend hours playing with the features. I took the batteries off mine since it stand on my shelve but damn its a great toy My only regret is the metalic colors at the time I thought that Hasbro could have done the chrome like their Gi joe sky patrol serie but with time I think the color is great (the problem with vacu chrome is that with time it wears off, it happens a lot with Gi joe sky patrol vehicles). Enjoy your acquisition 😃
Hi Nick I think if I remember rightly, the block inside, turn it round and I think this is what helps to tell the parts to blast off Give it a go One of my fave ships in my collection 👍
@@OnlyOneKenobi I think you have to have it on the damaged side inside the ship. Can't see any other reason for it not to work Nick. Keep trying buddy.. Its a great piece to add
That was a great video. I was really looking forward to seeing that ship and you did a great job. 😀 Looking forward to seeing it with the decals and some more figures inside maybe. I know a lot of people are saying it's too dull and should be vac metalized... But imagine all the reflections and light bounce you'd get in your display room with all that chrome! You'd never be able to film with the blinds open again! 🤣 You weren't kidding about the state of the batteries! What a mess! Not quite the forest of alkaline crystals I had to deal with, but at least my Starspeeder didn't eat through the contact springs! Wow! BTW, you mentioned wanting to get a Starspeeder 1000 yourself, I hope you find on in great shape for a review someday. It uses a similar system as the Naboo Royal Cruiser hyperdrive in the view screen to match the sound effects to the image slide on the screen. Anyway, Thanks for the fun video. I Hope you had a Merry Christmas!
its pretty big. was never really interested in this vehicle, but it's been an interesting watch. I got rid of most of my prequel vehicles. just never cared for them nor had space for them. was definitely an enjoyable video. it's got a lot more bells and whistles than I thought. don't know why they put batteries in these vehicles. glad you got it working.
I was way older when TPM came out. Grew up with the TO SW (episode 4-6), but I've enjoyed the prequels for what they are. Batteries, they suck in old toys. Once bought an Independence Day collection including the Supreme Commander. Sealed box, but one of the batteries was beginning to leak. No damage to the compartment, but I've removed those batteries immediately. Nice review Nick, happy Xmas and stay safe! Cheers, Frank 🎅
Just watched this again as I've only just bought this boxed complete working lights effects and I'm exited so I had to watch your reveiw on yours I've paid £200.00 for it it's a beautiful ship
Glad I could help! 😉 Congratulations... and I guess you're still waiting for yours to arrive right? Lemme know the state of the battery compartment etc when it arrives 👍🏼
@@OnlyOneKenobi I will ...when I saw that acid leakidge on your video it reminded me of when I got power of the force X Wing it was harder to get the batteries outta that...eventually I got them out but I had to take the X Wing apart to do it...luckily I got the xwing working but yeah its a nightmare when people leave batteries in and they leak
I don't know if you saw my message on Instagram but you asked me to let you know the state of the battery compartment on mine when it arrived and it was clean no battery acid at all
An absolutely stunning ship - beautifully designed. I couldn't quite stop myself from shouting "read the instructions" but you got there in the end. Just glad for you the battery compartment wasn't too corroded to cause much damage and looking forwarded to a full review of all the features in the coming weeks - Happy Christmas and onwards to a better year ahead 🙂
Once he said it was idiot-proof I knew we were in for a wild ride. I shouted "wear gloves" at one point. A box of black nitrile gloves is an essential for all your hobby (and burglary) needs.
It’s an amazing vehicle playset I have now managed to purchase one for my collection mint in box from a seller on facebook marketplace I got a good deal and got it for £110 the seller was happy it was going to a good home.
Oh what a beautiful ship. It’s a hard question to mask but would you give it a chrome paint job? Would love a mirror finish like the Death Star droid you did in a video a long time ago in a galaxy far far away lol. Dying to see this in a mirror finish! It would be epic! If hasbro did Vac metal on this ship for the TVC it would definitely sell out due to pure beauty!
Merry Christmas to everyone! As a Patreon member, I know we were already spoiled with an early viewing 😜 but had to watch it again! Loved your reaction when the batteries synced up with the 20 some years electronics.. priceless! Another great review O.O.K😉👌🏽 have a great Christmas Day!
Wow! I have all the figures in the 1999 set but the Royal starship I do not have what a beauty! The batteries should of been sealed in a packet and be placed in seperatly but awesome u got it working! Great video I enjoyed, now u need to get to Coruscant ...
I tell ya that was a lucky fix..my Vader and Emperor died after 8 years and my Sauron died this year..I might try the same tricks you did...a very cool find haven't seen one in years..cheers Nick🍺🍺🍻
Fun Fact: the chrome plating on the starship is the same material as Captain Phasma’s armor-it looks brilliant but perhaps she would’ve faired better had she opted for Beskar ; ) Great ship, always wanted one of these. I imagine Palptine had one of these as his personal vehicle after becoming emperor. Great video O.O.K. and Merry Christmas!🎄
@@OnlyOneKenobi the idea of her armor being chrome rather than Beskar definitely something I would retcon in Star Wars canon in order for Phasma to survive the events of TLJ, the character has a cool design with plenty of potential and she deserves the screen time and treatment the long overdue treatment Boba Fett is finally receiving. We have so many great Clone Trooper characters, but we don’t have enough villainous stand out Storm Trooper characters in canon
In the next video, can you confirm or deny whether the droid elevator at the back has any functionality? It looks like there’s a panel on top that moves out of the way for R2 and friends to get outside.
Hello there, so, I'm just getting to your videos. I had to comment though. I was 24 when this was released and I was collecting again and my dad was awesome and got me this the year it came out for Christmas. I got a new in box unopened back in May of 2020 for $152. I still think this would be an amazing Haslab. I'd love to see this with a custom paint job so please do your silver pen job. May the Force be with You
Oh man, I agree! So much they could do to improve it!"😉👌 Alas, personally, I'd put Darth Mauls Sith Infiltrator ahead of this... only coz that one DEFINITELY needs sorting in terms of scale hehe. I know this starship is smaller than reality, but that Infiltrator was VERY small! 🤯🙃 Thanks for commenting though, great topic! 👌😉
For a 22 year old ship it still look great! The battery compartment looks like if it was shot down by one of those Vulture Droids. 😄 Glad the battery works. You definitely need to buy one of those tweezer kit, it comes in handy when you have to fix the battery compartment or any other intricate small parts. Definitely a worthy vehicle to have in your collection!
Hi. Nice video you made. Bought one of these for my disabled son for Christmas '22. stickers but no instructions. Would you maybe have a copy of instructions for where they go? Perhaps send a pic of instructions to me. Would so much appreciate. Thanks.
Please, Molotov Chrome this ship!!! I have my son’s Queen’s ship & yes I’ve thought of using the Molotov Chrome pen on it for some time now. Dave at Toypolloi has said that it requires 30 days of not touching the Chrome until it cures properly. So I’ll let u do it first…
It should be in the manual. I've seen other vids. You need to change the status of the computer (damaged & undamaged) inside the ship, before the pop-off panels will activate.
Very enjoyable video aside from wanting to shout at you how to assemble this correctly! Your top panels ie: blow away pieces are pushed in correctly, they should sit alot smoother then that, also you need the hyperdrive installed, which i dont think you did on the test? hence why they wont pop off :)
Watch back the vid man... despite it being edited man, you were watching a learn as ya roll type video. Eventually at end you must've noticed I got panels flush!!! 😉😉 (I know what you mean though ciz originally, panel button was UP as it was once opened.... and took a while till I realised to push it down! 🤦🏻♂️🙃) When I'm back tomorrow, I'll try again trying to get the thing to pop up.... but I'm pretty sure I've already attempted with drive in, although I'll defo give that a go tomorrow 👍🏼 thanks man. Anything else you suggest? Also, I was quite aware of people watching me making errors setting this up etc 😆🤣 hence why I threw a few captions up to explain what I was up to! Haha Hope those panels work Eventually man.
@@OnlyOneKenobi I think most peoples comments about using instructions are mainly meant in jest like mine, this was a genuine opening and reaction video which gave the video such good vibes, ive watched other collectors who will have opened stuff, figured out how everything worked and then pretend its the first time opening it and that's boring and no fun, i felt your slight depression at first with the battery's and then your joy when it all worked out and that genuinity is what keeps us coming back to your videos cause you mirror that excitement all collectors feel when opening stuff for the first time! 🤗🤗
@@LaoLaoSW still no joy Lao.... I've just come back home and tried the x3 fires with both hyerdrive in working and burnt out mode, and still no pop up. My only diagnosis is that I still need to use x4 fresh/ mint batteries for it to work. The one's I used were a few years old and had possibly been already used.... 😔
Happy Christmas OOK, I'll have to watch on catch up, but for the record, I paid £36 (all in) for mine around the early 2000s. It came from a company called Red Pumpkin (long gone I assume) who were very much like In Demand toys or Star Action Figures are now, with the latest releases etc.
Just watched on catch up OOK, great video (I'm panicking if I've left the batteries in in mine!) With your input in the live chat, it was like a directors cut! Hope you had a great Christmas
Another great addition to your collection O.O.K ,looks awesome , Just to let you know if the chrome pen you use is the Molotow brand you can get refills for them and can also be decanted into an airbrush to spray larger area's just spray gloss black primer and then light coats of the chrome building it up gradually , Merry Christmas my friend and all the best for 2022
Managed to get one of these but sadly the electronics have gone due to a rusty battery. I can remember seeing these in toys r us when they came out along with the MTT . Only thing that bothers me is the compartment that open up don't exactly seal shut there just loose
@@andrewhills9049 hahahaha 😆 😂 literally just watched a clip of the Battle of Naboo coz I've got a sack of marbles from a Christmas cracker here which I'm thinking would look great on the Phantom Menace shelf coz they kinda look like Boombas!!! Hahaha 💥💙
Also you say you miss the outside - I was in it yesterday and I can report that it's over-rated. Stay in and update your spreadsheet of Star Wars figures, that's what I've done today. And now the pub...
@Baron Maupertuis it doesn't no. Naboo Royal Starship! Nubian on the Star Wars data bank though 👌🏼 AND in the Phantom Menace script: WATTO: Not bad.... not bad, a Nubian.
MERRY CHRISTMAS Nick! This ship is a great addition to your collection! Back in the day when these were exiting retail, I caught one complete at Goodwill for $25 US dollars. What are they going for now?
MERRY CHRISTMAS! 🎅💙👌🏼

46mins for 20year old ship well done👍 welcome to the Naboo club Pop&Out 🙋♂️🇨🇦
Used to have this as a kid, this was fun to watch!! But the way you handle that knife gives me soooo much anxiety
This is one of the BEST playsets EVER!!!!!! I know I have a lot of fun with mine.
I’ve never given that ship a second glance. Your video convinced me that the Naboo Royal Cruiser is worthy to be in any Star Wars collection! Merry Christmas!
I hope this video helps anyone onnthe fence/worried (like I was) knowing it has x4 22 year old batteries inside 🤯
Thankfully, everything works! 🎅👌🏼🥰
This is where the fun begins . . . .
Glad the batteries didn’t destroy it! Happy Christmas!🎄
Most impressive ship
I’m proud of you Obi Wan!! Naboo Starship looks like the GI Joe Stealth Fighter in 1998. Turbo Tank and AT TE are on my list. Cheers brotha🍺🍺🍺🍺😎🎸🎸
Cotton swab with vinegar will magically remove that battery corrosion. Maybe a hair dryer blowing on that panel would help it settle in.
Merry Star Wars Christmas! 💥💥💥🤍
🎅 Merry Christmas Witchy 😉👌🏼 O.O.K
I like the shot from under, looking up at the bottom of the hull and seeing that cool landing gear!
Cheets Neil! Lovely ship isn't it! 🤩
Yeah, I reckon I'll be filming it once again some day, perhaps when all stickers are in place etc.. 😉👌🏼
It's always great watching kids open their toys on Christmas haha. I'm glad the battery compartment was salvageable and yes I would love to see you vac metalize it.
🥳 Happy 2022 Rob! 😉 O.O.K 👌🏼💙
I had that once upon a time - quite an impressive ship/playset - ended up selling it along with the rest of my TPM collection....
Very Awesome, I remember getting mine years ago. It's always a plus to get a figure with a vehicle. Congrats on your Royal Starship!
Wow what a beauty she is!

You can clean out the battery compartment with rubbing alcohol and/or quick drying electrical connector cleaner. Then add dielectric grease.
Hey JJ! Thabk you will so! 👌🏼😉 as you saw, I could get ALL the congieled battery acid out! 🙃👌🏼

@@OnlyOneKenobi I think you have to have it on the damaged side inside the ship.

Nice! I have that ship in my collection and it is a great ship! I was able to get an un open one about 2 years ago
Hey man! Thanks for dropping a comment! And yeah man... it's impressive! 😉 I'm kinda glad I picked it up 👌🏼🥰 O.O.K
I was way older when TPM came out. Grew up with the TO SW (episode 4-6), but I've enjoyed the prequels for what they are. Batteries, they suck in old toys. Once bought an Independence Day collection including the Supreme Commander. Sealed box, but one of the batteries was beginning to leak. No damage to the compartment, but I've removed those batteries immediately. Nice review Nick, happy Xmas and stay safe! Cheers, Frank 🎅
🎅 Merry Christmas Frank 😉👌🏼 O.O.K
Just watched this again as I've only just bought this boxed complete working lights effects and I'm exited so I had to watch your reveiw on yours I've paid £200.00 for it it's a beautiful ship
Glad I could help! 😉
Congratulations... and I guess you're still waiting for yours to arrive right?
Lemme know the state of the battery compartment etc when it arrives 👍🏼
@@OnlyOneKenobi I will ...when I saw that acid leakidge on your video it reminded me of when I got power of the force X Wing it was harder to get the batteries outta that...eventually I got them out but I had to take the X Wing apart to do it...luckily I got the xwing working but yeah its a nightmare when people leave batteries in and they leak
I don't know if you saw my message on Instagram but you asked me to let you know the state of the battery compartment on mine when it arrived and it was clean no battery acid at all
And merry christmas to you
🎅 Merry Christmas 😉👌🏼 O.O.K
Great ship and great review mate! Was so happy for you when the electrics worked 👍👍
🎅 Merry Christmas SOC 😉👌🏼 O.O.K
R2-D2 origin. This could be an interesting Hasbro Lab project, come in chrome.
100% 🙏😉👌🏼
An absolutely stunning ship - beautifully designed. I couldn't quite stop myself from shouting "read the instructions" but you got there in the end. Just glad for you the battery compartment wasn't too corroded to cause much damage and looking forwarded to a full review of all the features in the coming weeks - Happy Christmas and onwards to a better year ahead 🙂
Haha man, you're officially FIRST on this one! Hope you enjoyed your privilege, exclusive access! 😉👌🏼
@@OnlyOneKenobi I hereby collect my purse of chocolate coins Sire 🤣
Once he said it was idiot-proof I knew we were in for a wild ride.
I shouted "wear gloves" at one point. A box of black nitrile gloves is an essential for all your hobby (and burglary) needs.
It’s an amazing vehicle playset I have now managed to purchase one for my collection mint in box from a seller on facebook marketplace I got a good deal and got it for £110 the seller was happy it was going to a good home.
Lemme know what state the batteries are in!!! 😉👌🏼
@@OnlyOneKenobi haha yeh I was thinking that but I don’t think I’m going to open it.
Oh what a beautiful ship. It’s a hard question to mask but would you give it a chrome paint job? Would love a mirror finish like the Death Star droid you did in a video a long time ago in a galaxy far far away lol. Dying to see this in a mirror finish! It would be epic! If hasbro did Vac metal on this ship for the TVC it would definitely sell out due to pure beauty!
I may yet paint it with my chrome pen! 😉👌🏼
Merry Christmas to everyone! As a Patreon member, I know we were already spoiled with an early viewing 😜 but had to watch it again! Loved your reaction when the batteries synced up with the 20 some years electronics.. priceless! Another great review O.O.K😉👌🏽 have a great Christmas Day!
Cheers Lara!!! 🍻
Wow! I have all the figures in the 1999 set but the Royal starship I do not have what a beauty! The batteries should of been sealed in a packet and be placed in seperatly but awesome u got it working! Great video I enjoyed, now u need to get to Coruscant ...
Hopefully Hasbro have/will learn from this folly! 🙏 😉👌🏼
I tell ya that was a lucky fix..my Vader and Emperor died after 8 years and my Sauron died this year..I might try the same tricks you did...a very cool find haven't seen one in years..cheers Nick🍺🍺🍻
You crossed my mind ALOT during this coZ of electronics 🤣😆😉
Fun Fact: the chrome plating on the starship is the same material as Captain Phasma’s armor-it looks brilliant but perhaps she would’ve faired better had she opted for Beskar ; ) Great ship, always wanted one of these. I imagine Palptine had one of these as his personal vehicle after becoming emperor. Great video O.O.K. and Merry Christmas!🎄
I wanted to do a video talking about Phasma armor and how they SHOULD have maybe tied it in with BESKAR/Mando arc.....
@@OnlyOneKenobi the idea of her armor being chrome rather than Beskar definitely something I would retcon in Star Wars canon in order for Phasma to survive the events of TLJ, the character has a cool design with plenty of potential and she deserves the screen time and treatment the long overdue treatment Boba Fett is finally receiving. We have so many great Clone Trooper characters, but we don’t have enough villainous stand out Storm Trooper characters in canon
In the next video, can you confirm or deny whether the droid elevator at the back has any functionality? It looks like there’s a panel on top that moves out of the way for R2 and friends to get outside.
Will definitely look at that! 👌🏼👌🏼 so much other stuff to do I looked over that sadly 😥
Hello there, so, I'm just getting to your videos. I had to comment though. I was 24 when this was released and I was collecting again and my dad was awesome and got me this the year it came out for Christmas. I got a new in box unopened back in May of 2020 for $152. I still think this would be an amazing Haslab. I'd love to see this with a custom paint job so please do your silver pen job. May the Force be with You
Oh man, I agree! So much they could do to improve it!"😉👌
Alas, personally, I'd put Darth Mauls Sith Infiltrator ahead of this... only coz that one DEFINITELY needs sorting in terms of scale hehe. I know this starship is smaller than reality, but that Infiltrator was VERY small! 🤯🙃
Thanks for commenting though, great topic! 👌😉
For a 22 year old ship it still look great! The battery compartment looks like if it was shot down by one of those Vulture Droids. 😄
Glad the battery works. You definitely need to buy one of those tweezer kit, it comes in handy when you have to fix the battery compartment or any other intricate small parts.
Definitely a worthy vehicle to have in your collection!
I think this retailed for $99.99 back in the yr 2000. I waited a yr later and picked it up from ToysRUs on clearance for $49.99.
🎅 Merry Christmas Lamarr 😉👌🏼 O.O.K
I've got one of these in the loft, been up ther unloved for 20+ years, now seeing this I might well drag it out and see if it works?
Dew it!!! Get those batteries 🔋 out!!!
🎅 Merry Christmas 😉👌🏼 O.O.K
Hi. Nice video you made. Bought one of these for my disabled son for Christmas '22. stickers but no instructions. Would you maybe have a copy of instructions for where they go? Perhaps send a pic of instructions to me. Would so much appreciate. Thanks.
Sup... you on Instagram, twitter or Facebook?
Not sure where I have them now... but I'd be surprised if a scanned copy didn't exist online.....
Please, Molotov Chrome this ship!!! I have my son’s Queen’s ship & yes I’ve thought of using the Molotov Chrome pen on it for some time now. Dave at Toypolloi has said that it requires 30 days of not touching the Chrome until it cures properly. So I’ll let u do it first…
Mine is still in ints box after 22 yrs, 1 owner no accidents
You ever gonna open it?.... 🤔
my guy you need to invest in a box cutter xD
great ship however!!
My knives do the trick bro! 😉👌🏼
It should be in the manual. I've seen other vids. You need to change the status of the computer (damaged & undamaged) inside the ship, before the pop-off panels will activate.
Yo! Thanks for that 👍🏼
In fact, others have said the same, alas, it still won't pop! 😔 I'm gonna keep trying.... 💙👌🏼 O.O.K
I think you have to turn the hyperdrive over to the Damage side to make the panels blow off.
Yo man.... tried thus yesterday, but sadly no joy 😔😔😔
@@OnlyOneKenobi Oh man.
Very enjoyable video aside from wanting to shout at you how to assemble this correctly! Your top panels ie: blow away pieces are pushed in correctly, they should sit alot smoother then that, also you need the hyperdrive installed, which i dont think you did on the test? hence why they wont pop off :)
Watch back the vid man... despite it being edited man, you were watching a learn as ya roll type video. Eventually at end you must've noticed I got panels flush!!! 😉😉
(I know what you mean though ciz originally, panel button was UP as it was once opened.... and took a while till I realised to push it down! 🤦🏻♂️🙃)
When I'm back tomorrow, I'll try again trying to get the thing to pop up.... but I'm pretty sure I've already attempted with drive in, although I'll defo give that a go tomorrow 👍🏼 thanks man.
Anything else you suggest?
Also, I was quite aware of people watching me making errors setting this up etc 😆🤣 hence why I threw a few captions up to explain what I was up to! Haha
Hope those panels work Eventually man.
@@OnlyOneKenobi I think most peoples comments about using instructions are mainly meant in jest like mine, this was a genuine opening and reaction video which gave the video such good vibes, ive watched other collectors who will have opened stuff, figured out how everything worked and then pretend its the first time opening it and that's boring and no fun, i felt your slight depression at first with the battery's and then your joy when it all worked out and that genuinity is what keeps us coming back to your videos cause you mirror that excitement all collectors feel when opening stuff for the first time! 🤗🤗
@@LaoLaoSW still no joy Lao....
I've just come back home and tried the x3 fires with both hyerdrive in working and burnt out mode, and still no pop up.
My only diagnosis is that I still need to use x4 fresh/ mint batteries for it to work. The one's I used were a few years old and had possibly been already used.... 😔
Happy Christmas OOK, I'll have to watch on catch up, but for the record, I paid £36 (all in) for mine around the early 2000s. It came from a company called Red Pumpkin (long gone I assume) who were very much like In Demand toys or Star Action Figures are now, with the latest releases etc.
Epic price man! 🤯🙃👌🏼
Just watched on catch up OOK, great video (I'm panicking if I've left the batteries in in mine!) With your input in the live chat, it was like a directors cut!
Hope you had a great Christmas
It's rather sad that the Hasbro of today would not release something like this. At least not in stores - maybe as a HasbroLab project.
Very true 👍🏼
Another great addition to your collection O.O.K ,looks awesome , Just to let you know if the chrome pen you use is the Molotow brand you can get refills for them and can also be decanted into an airbrush to spray larger area's just spray gloss black primer and then light coats of the chrome building it up gradually , Merry Christmas my friend and all the best for 2022
🎅 Merry Christmas Muzza 😉👌🏼 O.O.K
Managed to get one of these but sadly the electronics have gone due to a rusty battery. I can remember seeing these in toys r us when they came out along with the MTT . Only thing that bothers me is the compartment that open up don't exactly seal shut there just loose
I know man... Im gonna get something to.sort that issue out .. frustrating! 😆👌🏼
@@OnlyOneKenobi my. Next goal is to get a working MTT
@@andrewhills9049 hahahaha 😆 😂 literally just watched a clip of the Battle of Naboo coz I've got a sack of marbles from a Christmas cracker here which I'm thinking would look great on the Phantom Menace shelf coz they kinda look like Boombas!!! Hahaha 💥💙
@@OnlyOneKenobi lol but mezza have no boombas
@@andrewhills9049 🤣😂😆👌🏼
I got one of these for £12 from the Entertainer way back there were two left I'm glad I did
🤯 wow... 👌🏼👌🏼
"Over 3 feet long"
Never mind the quality, feel the length!
If I ever sign up to Tinder...
Also you say you miss the outside - I was in it yesterday and I can report that it's over-rated. Stay in and update your spreadsheet of Star Wars figures, that's what I've done today. And now the pub...
Great purchase O1K you need a Tie Interceptor though for 2023 40th ROTJ
Nooooooooooo.
I have the same. Also replace the battery after 24 years. Pffff nothing happening
😔 sorry to hear that. I was was lucky I a way.... butbdince review it's been slightly iffy! Haha
I don't think this thing is called "Nubian", Nubians were (are?) people from Sudan and Egypt.
Yeah man Nubian is right... like Spain/Spanish - Naboo / Nubian
@@OnlyOneKenobi Does it say "Nubian" on the box?
@Baron Maupertuis it doesn't no. Naboo Royal Starship!
Nubian on the Star Wars data bank though 👌🏼 AND in the Phantom Menace script:
WATTO: Not bad.... not bad, a Nubian.
It sounded like Watto said "Nubian" maybe it was a mistake on the voice actors part? Should it be Nabooian?
MERRY CHRISTMAS Nick! This ship is a great addition to your collection! Back in the day when these were exiting retail, I caught one complete at Goodwill for $25 US dollars. What are they going for now?
