gatekeeping a kids toy is crazy tho. imagine being a kid wanting your favourite clone trooper minifigure but you have to settle for a crappier one bcs the detailed one can only be purchased with a UCS set. that micro fighter is truly a win for the people that matter
I mean I think it could be a valid complaint for owners of the $650 set who wanted an exclusive Captain Rex but I think I did mention in the video how I personally like that LEGO didn’t put the minifigure behind a $650 paywall forever
@@GodDestroyerOfWorlds yeah I guess that’s valid but sometimes LEGO does improve the printing quality on minifigures that come in UCS Sets but then the ones in play scale sets are worse so why wouldn’t they do the same for Captain Rex
@@MattsLEGOFilmswhy would they purposefully make a new print when the sets were released in close proximity. It doesnt make sense from lego if they purposefully made new prints when they already have a perfectly functional print
Complaining that they “should have made the Rex minifigure worse in the $12 box” is insane to me, and captures the very essence of gatekeeping

they should have made it different than the venator version, the venator rex was labeled exclusive
