The droids and little lightsaber holder are nice additions aswell. Got this and the boba and Han carbonite transformation set aswell. Those two got me hooked on collecting minifigs. Went through them yesterday and now my son's hooked aswell haha
On the lego website it’s retired but now it’s $80! Edit: I would still buy it any day of the week for that sweet sweet ani figure and darth vader, and because it’s super rare now that it got retired like I already said.
The Darth Vader Transformation set was my favorite lego set. I got this set as a birthday gift in 2018, and I love it. In fact, I still have this set up to this day!

@@alessandrogandola8355 Haha yeah I still watch his videos (I’m not even subbed) but geez this guy complains about anything even stuff that he’ll probably forget in like 10 minutes or something. It’s a kids toys and I just enjoy what we get lol (not even a kid,I’m a grown ass man)
I remember getting this set when it came out from my cousins after I had gotten out of my surgery, I still have the set and it is a nostalgia piece and a classic I will cherish forever
Disney: noooo Jedi Fallen Order is too violent for Lego (even though it's already heavily censored by having no dismemberment) also Disney: orders Lego to make sets based on one of the most gruesome scenes in the whole saga
I agree. Especially during that scene in Obi-Wan Kenobi (SPOILER ALERT) ....when Reva slices off the hand of one of the citizens. And yet LEGO is still inclined to make sets from Kenobi. Also I did not expect such a ballsy move from Disney to include a dismemberment scene.
@@danielt.9586 this is the most un-Disney move Disney's ever done, the Kenobi show wasn't that good but I do see some hope on the horizon as in they finally allows dismemberment again now I wonder where that M-rated Star Wars game is...
@@peabrain6872 some people hate reva and hate how weak obi-wan is with some few flaw moments here and there but don't worry, the show is good for the most part with only minor mistakes and the people who didn't like it are in the minority as most fans loved the show. episode 3 was by far the best one and what everyone ever wanted since the end of revenge of the sith.
This was the set that got me back into lego starwars again started buying slowly and slowly like maybe a set or two a year. Still don't buy a lot but did spend like $200 for may the 4th for some sets I wanted. But I remember seeing this set at Walmart and my friend and I were talking about lego star wars sets we had and we both picked up a set I think he got that dark trooper battlepack with 2 normal stormtroopers. I always wanted a palpatine figure and wanted that darth vader transformation set from revenge of the sith and all those sets years ago.
Really missed out in 2017. Would’ve really liked to get this, Obi-wan’s interceptor and the fighter tank from that year. Unfortunately was in my lego dark age from 2015-2020
Man you really sold this set. I bought it in 2017 just for the minifigs and never built it. Now I get to dig it out of storage and act out the scene. Great review!
The original was my first ever lego set so missing out on the rerelease at the time bothered me so as soon as it was gone I managed to find a K Mart selling their last set before the store was closed. Really loved the set
Damn, I had the 2005 one as a kid and remember dropping my Vader minifigure just before the 3rd act in the cinema, was wounded but got it at the end. Ima need to own this version someday, baller looking set
I actually got this set for my birthday in 2018 I believe. I was mainly excited because it was my first Darth Vader figure who is my favorite character in all of Star Wars
I think this set is awesome I bought it ages ago and I made a stop motion of it a while back I think the mini figs are awesome and it is rlly good for stop motion
Missed out this set. Back then I only collected vessels. Have palpatine's shuttle though, with the same play feature inside. But, like we all know, that isnt movie accurate and the set you just reviewed pretty much is.
I had this set back in 2017 and it was interesting. It was the very first time I got a Darth Vader minfigure since he always was in pricey sets before. I prefer this transformation over the 2005 one
Man i remember when I was 4 years old I build that thing and it somehow manage to break apart when storing then I was lazy to rebuild it again so I put it in a large container then years passby I gave the Legos all away bcuz I didn't know it was lego set now I just feel sad that I can't experience this feeling now that I'm older😢
Damn i got this set, lemme just say… the minifigs; vader, palpy, and battle scarred ani all for that cheap was insane! I wish i got some more to stock!
i just saw it on ebay and thinking buy it or not What do you think i want to buy it for my brothers birthday on 15 june and he loves DARTH VADER SO MUCH ! what set should i buy him , i was thinking to buy the vader castle but it cost a lot now! PLEASE HELP ME !
I actually got this when it came out and I’m glad I did (this was before I got fully addicted to lego again and have a bunch of sets on my bedroom floor)
Top tier set, better version of the old one, well priced, easy access of harder to get figures, and some nice play features
I agree with you. I got a bunch of these as birthday gifts in 2017 for some reason. I had loads of Darth Vader’s from this set.
I have to agree with you. This is my personal favorite Lego Star Wars set because of the figures and the features.
The droids and little lightsaber holder are nice additions aswell. Got this and the boba and Han carbonite transformation set aswell. Those two got me hooked on collecting minifigs.
Went through them yesterday and now my son's hooked aswell haha

Me too!
It is crazy how much lego can make a guy happy
Exactly the same for me. I only wanted it because you could get the updated Vader minifig for a pretty good price. I loved minifigs back then.
you should make a bigger version of the set with all of those
@@HetBlokje how?

nah bro they "refused" lmao just joking! thanks for the insight.
So how do you fix it
This dood complains a lot lol
@@alessandrogandola8355 Haha yeah I still watch his videos (I’m not even subbed) but geez this guy complains about anything even stuff that he’ll probably forget in like 10 minutes or something. It’s a kids toys and I just enjoy what we get lol (not even a kid,I’m a grown ass man)
@@samusaran4799 different tints of ink to counteract the natural fade, which Lego won’t do for a variety of reasons.
This set holds a special place in my heart as I got 3 sets together including this one from smyths, my biggest haul ever.
For me it’s where I got my first Vader.
This is a baller set. One of my favorites for sure. Maybe we can get a bacta tank from Kenobi show?
Isnt that already in the Vaders Castle?
@@TerminisXT It is, but I was thinking more of another $30 playset instead of a $100+ set.
mine broke and i lost the vader lol
The would be awesome if it was a stand alone set.
I remember getting this set for my birthday in 2017 and I loved this set
Happy Birthday!
Thanks my birthday is in a month and 2 days
same, although a couple weeks after my dog chewed up the darth vader fig, that was a depressing time
@@frmug same bruh, i remember in 2010 i left my arc 170 pilots, and the stoopid dog chewed the figures big time
I still have this set to this day, mostly the reason being because it was the cheapest way to get Darth Vader + Emperor Palpatine at the time.
This set is so good, so glad I got when it was on shelves
Same I really like it
I just found it in my old toy bin, I lost the medical droid and lightsaber holders tho
I remember getting this set when it came out from my cousins after I had gotten out of my surgery, I still have the set and it is a nostalgia piece and a classic I will cherish forever
Getting a set about anakin's *surgery* to become vader. Ironic isn't it?
Also i don't mean to say anything mean dont take this too seriously
Im so glad I bought this set when it first came out and still have it complete. One of my favorite Star War sets to date.
What makes your RUclips channel so good is that I’ll watch a review on a set I own like this and still watch it and enjoy it. Love the channel broski
how is that unique?
Ask MandR:
1. Are you ever going to review the 2016 deathstar?
2. Are you going to redo your at-te comparison when the new one comes out?
Yes and yes also you can just ask me questions you don't have to write ASK MandR lol
What a hidden gem! I would have totally gotten this set back in the day if I saw this review

@Peabrain If you don’t like episode 8 Luke then you won’t like what they did to obi-wan in kenobi.
Hey MandR. Love your videos and love this review. I got this set when it came out and it is still one of my favorites today. Keep up the good content!
Just recovered this set from my big leg bin and rebuilt. Was still fun even like that. Unfortunately im missing the darth vader figure now :(
On my vacation to New York I got this set and couldn’t have been happier with it.
Remember 5 years ago when I got it
Best Christmas ever
So disappointed i missed this one back then, truly a great set, and a good way to get cool minifigures for cheap
I love how he’s making videos on sets we probably purchased years ago…
I love how they give two figs of darth Vader instead hist giving him the face
That third leg slick joke got me geeked out. I caught it 😂😂
This was the set that got me back into lego starwars again started buying slowly and slowly like maybe a set or two a year.

I can’t believe that LEGO didn’t give their burnt Anakin minifigure some dual molded legs.
Thank you for the top tier LEGO content and also thank you for introducing me to Mercari
My first set that I got Darth Vader in 😃 I remember being so hyped! 😊
Same
OMG YES!!! this was my first ever lego star wars set!!
I LOVE this set. I bought one with a bad box but parts were sealed so I built it. Scored a sealed one with minimal box damage for $50. Super happy.
Really missed out in 2017. Would’ve really liked to get this, Obi-wan’s interceptor and the fighter tank from that year. Unfortunately was in my lego dark age from 2015-2020
WAIT! This came out in 2017! I still can remember that I bought it with my mom when it came out
The droids third leg is pretty big if you no what I’m saying😏
I remember getting this during my birthday. Great gift and great way to get some cool figures
To this day, I still wish I had this set. Such an amazing and iconic feel to it
This is an awesome set with some much backstory with it
My favourite and one of my first lego sets
I cant look at it without getting nostalgia
I even filmed some stop motion vids with it back then
Very cool set! The helmet-putting mechanism is amazing as well!
This set was my favorite because it was the first time I was able to get a Darth Vader minifigure, it was a steal for only 25$
Man you really sold this set. I bought it in 2017 just for the minifigs and never built it. Now I get to dig it out of storage and act out the scene. Great review!
still haven’t build it but it’s in front of my shelf. love it.
I used to have this set, but sadly lost it
I wasn’t collecting Lego back in 2017, I only started to again after a long break in 2018 but this was one I saw release and instantly brought it
Thank goodness I bought this back when it came out.
I just imagined the writers brainstorming this piece of immaculate art
its one of my favorite sets as well and I still have it in one piece.
The original was my first ever lego set so missing out on the rerelease at the time bothered me so as soon as it was gone I managed to find a K Mart selling their last set before the store was closed. Really loved the set
I'm happy I got this the first month when I came out. To peices are lost
I love watching all of your vids
This was my dream set when i was a kid
3:20 😯 medical droid packing
my brother has the set and honestly everything's great, even the little action feature was rlly nice.
That is such a cool set. My mind was blown when you showed how you can lower the helmet.
Damn, I had the 2005 one as a kid and remember dropping my Vader minifigure just before the 3rd act in the cinema, was wounded but got it at the end. Ima need to own this version someday, baller looking set
I bought this set sealed nearly a year ago and still haven’t built it. I know it’s a dope set!
Love the vids man keep going you are doing good
I actually got this set for my birthday in 2018 I believe. I was mainly excited because it was my first Darth Vader figure who is my favorite character in all of Star Wars
One of my favourite sets
Really cool set. Well designed and has nice features to recreate a memorable event in the movies
This was 1 of the first sets I ever got to kick off my collection
I think this set is awesome I bought it ages ago and I made a stop motion of it a while back I think the mini figs are awesome and it is rlly good for stop motion
I got it back in 2017 and i dont regret it but the bit where you put darth vaders helmet on could be some sort of machine if people want to think that
Is there going to be anymore Jedi fallen order sets in the near future
Missed out this set. Back then I only collected vessels. Have palpatine's shuttle though, with the same play feature inside. But, like we all know, that isnt movie accurate and the set you just reviewed pretty much is.
I remember getting this set on Christmas such a fun set
2017! WHAT it feels like I got this set only a couple years ago but FIVE YEARS
Dont we love his outro music
Getting this for Christmas for sure
this was my first lego set! The nostalgia
I bought this last week have to say batter than expected
hidden gem imo. i have 2 of these from when i got them in 2017
This is an awesome set. I'm very glad to own this set.
I got this when it was new and I absolutely loved it
SHE WAS ALIVE! I FELT IT!
Its one of my favourite sets, i have it
I had this set back in 2017 and it was interesting. It was the very first time I got a Darth Vader minfigure since he always was in pricey sets before. I prefer this transformation over the 2005 one
I remember one of my brothers getting that set on Christmas of 2017 or 2018, I don't fully know. But great way to get Palps and Vader, in my opinion
play sets that can be displayed are just the best
Man i remember when I was 4 years old I build that thing and it somehow manage to break apart when storing then I was lazy to rebuild it again so I put it in a large container then years passby I gave the Legos all away bcuz I didn't know it was lego set now I just feel sad that I can't experience this feeling now that I'm older😢
Happy to have gotten this when it was on shelves
Glad I got this set when it was out. I really liked it from the beginning.
Surprised you didn’t have this set!
I had it when it was available…
It’s smashed now
I did. I am rebuying a lot of sets SEALED specifically to make a review on.
2020 before covid I skipped a day of HS to go thrifting and picked up this incomplete set for $10. All the figs were there so it was a steal
Hope to see pretty soon a new Lego SW Diorama based on this set
really reminds me of the little diorama things in the Skywalker saga game where you select the episodes
When ever he says kids I literally start laughing bc he doesn’t think kid watch his vids, I’m a huge fan and a collector but I’m also a kid lol
If you have the battle damaged vader and this set your set for a really cool transformation / medical scene
Very good overall. I think the burnt anakin really makes this set !
Damn i got this set, lemme just say… the minifigs; vader, palpy, and battle scarred ani all for that cheap was insane! I wish i got some more to stock!
I got this set when it came out, but I didnt even know that you can shoot the medical droid or the lightsaber stand up. Great video!
I’ve had this set twice, both have been lost. But at least I still have all the figures in great condition!
The set is like theplatforms they use for every episode in Lego Star Wars the skywalker saga
Great set, I remember when I bought it back in 2017. Regret that I now have I it broken.
Weird that the rogue one death trooper box art is nostalgic now, I feel old
Super sick set, might have to pick it up soon.
I remember impulsed buying this for $20 back in 2017 and feeling a bit of buyers remorse but now I’m so glad I did lol
Love this set
I got this set for Christmas back in 2018
i just saw it on ebay and thinking buy it or not
What do you think i want to buy it for my brothers birthday on 15 june and he loves DARTH VADER SO MUCH ! what set should i buy him , i was thinking to buy the vader castle but it cost a lot now!
PLEASE HELP ME !
I've been looking at this set for the past few weeks and I really want to get it
I actually got this when it came out and I’m glad I did (this was before I got fully addicted to lego again and have a bunch of sets on my bedroom floor)
When was that vader helmet mold introduced btw? Such a good helmet. Having it be 2 pieces is so good.
2015 i think
