But it's also odd, because the bounty hunters are never on the Super Star Destroyer (or in ROTJ for that matter, barring Boba in the beginning). They're on the Vader's Imperial Star Destroyer, the Devastator. It's another example of the designers trying to be cool, but not quite hitting the accuracy mark.
It also continues to show how stupid UCS Gunship defenders are, LEGO continues to mix movies on OT sets. But for the UCS Gunship oh noooo it couldn’t have been done according to the defenders of LEGO ☠️
@@CanadaBricks I feel like I’m right more than I am wrong and the people defending LEGO typically are casuals who just don’t have the background knowledge. Not that I’m never wrong but more often than not…
Yes agreed. I started collecting Star Wars Armada miniatures for that same reason. If Lego continues to release mini scale ships, not only are they cheaper, but you can display a whole battle scene on your desk, rather than one ship.
I’ve noticed how the ISDs look one tenth the size of the SSD, and that’s cool because it matches the in-world measurements. I hope they continue this attention to detail in other sets.
they should release a set with all the important ships in star wars, like the millenium falcon and the x-wing, but in scale with this set. so we just get a set with a shit ton of coloured studs basically
@@stoopidapples1596 according to set from this video, millennium falcon should've been smaller than a 1x1 stud 😅 Not even mentioning x-wings and tie fighters lol
I think this set is “Just the Beginning” and I can’t wait! I hope that this line of sets continues, but also that they keep the helmet line! There is no need to get rid of the helmet line just because they are bringing in this different line of sets! Wish that the set would’ve had a mini-figure, would have made it more worth the money!
I think adding a mini fig would have been a great addition. Besides Vader I think an Admiral Piett would have been nice. Nevertheless looks like a great set and can’t wait to get one.
We need so many more midi-scale sets. A Venator Class Star Destroyer would be amazing. And I think that they should come with 1 minifigure. Vader here would have made this a 10/10 must buy for me.
I loved the Midi-Scale sets when they came out and made a bunch of my own when Lego didn't make any more. If they bring it back, I hope they get some help from the person in charge of Speed Champions because the building techniques in those set are the best Lego has.
I just got this yesterday for Christmas, took all day to do it(I got ADHD) and let me say, I love how simple it is to put togethet, while still looking really good
This was my first "grown-up" LEGO Star Wars set the last one I bought was an ARC-170 in 2010. Bought this and built it today because of this review and had a great time with it. Thanks MandR.
I've built this set and until now didn't realise the coloured stud pieces represented Vader and the bounty hunters. I wondered why the instructions mentioned that there were a few surprises and now I know
on my display stand for the model, I have a Darth Vader and a Boba Fett minifigure instead of the plaque. It is just more fun to associate the model with Empire Strikes Back as that's where the model's debut was.
Totally right about the market not being mature enough for midiscale. I remember seeing the midiscale sets in stores as a kid and thinking, why would I want this? It doesn't have an interior or minifigs. 😅
i really hope lego follows this and we get more of theses sets taking the helmets place venator, tantive 4, falcon, etc. even some midi scale ground vehicles could look nice turbo tank, At-At etc could be something i get behind.
place it behind the Throne Room and look through the window.. should feel really good seeing it behind there.. at least I would imagine it being great x'D
I would’ve gotten this set today. I was at Walmart and I always check the Lego isle when I go and I noticed they had ONLY one of these on the shelf, and I couldn’t pass it up so I put it in my cart. I got to the register and when I scanned it beeped and said “restricted item” I tried it again and it said the same thing. Apparently it wasn’t even supposed to be on the shelves
Rather than a Darth Vader minifig it should have had Admiral Piett. After all, he was on the Executor much more than Darth Vader in the movie, and even died there. Piett minifigs aren't exactly cheap on the aftermarket so this would have been a great time to make a new one.
One thing I'd love to see in your reviews is some mention of the dimensions, especially when no min figures are included. It's pretty hard to gage how big this ship is from the video, and for simplicity's sake it would be nice not to have to Google the specs
My favorite Star Wars ship ever. I picked this set up on impulse at Walmart since today was my birthday. Then I found a Zelda Tears of the Kingdom Collector's Edition at that same Walmart...and bought it as well. 😂
Ask MandR: if I wanna buy a $139.99 set, which one should I buy out of these few: at-te, razor crest, millennium Falcon or lower price sets such as the new tie bomber, dagobah dirama, or this set in this video
A thing that would be nice is that lego could have put "conentrate all fire on that super star destroyer" from return of the jedi as a quote like they do in other model sets
I think a lot of us will be spending good money on Star Wars lego this year, if you are a return of the Jedi fan like my self you will be very happy with your display come December. I’m glad my misses started working at the lego store this year.
Just finished mine after FINALLY being able to buy one since they sold out within minutes upon release. Personally, I think they nailed the landing on the design and I LOVE the little bounty hunter meeting Easter Egg. I hope they keep they keep making making midi-scale sets. They would definitely be on my list for ‘want’ and ‘need’ instead of just just ‘like’!!!
The tale that they use colors as a building-assist is so old. They use them because every Lego stone is made of a mixture of these basic colors: so basic colors are, of course, cheaper to manufacture, which is why they try to fill up as much as possible with these in each model.
Simple adore this set! Think they should do more! UCS for those who can afford and have the space and the midi scales for the rest if us common people! Thanks Ryan
Cant wait to pick this up on the 1st!! This was a must buy for me and probably my only chance for a long time to get a set of this. I have stayed away from my local walmarts as to not get tempted because I do want the promos for the May 4th event at lego
As a guy who lives in a camping trailer with limited space I would love to see more smaller ships cause I'd love to buy more of that not like I'm building a ucs star destroyer until I get an actual place
I know I'm late. But it's almost half a meter long... it's over 1/4 of the length of the average height for a woman in the us. The piece count isn't great but the pieces are very big and it has tons of small details. Also midi sets usually have bad pricing but this one is often seen as underpriced
Was never into the midi scale lineup as a kid b/c I always thought "Oh this is stupid, who wants this when u can't even put minifigs inside?" But now that I'm AFOL, I might change my perspective and cop one these down the road
As someone who's favorite star wars set is that midi scale star destroyer, I love that they've made another midi scale set, and I really want them to make a new star destroyer. It's been so long since the original one, and I would love to see what an update/improved version could look like.
Ask MandR: did the set 40558, Clone Trooper Command Station, retire? It’s been out of stock, and I have checked everyday since January 1st to see if it’s been restocked to no avail.
I tried to buy this set at Walmart a few hours ago, and they wouldn’t told me they’re not allowed to sell it. I was told that they had some sort of recall
Definitely picking this one up for May 4th. But if LEGO remakes the UCS version... Yeah, it won't cost 6 ot 7 times more. It'll cost at the very minium 10 times more. I already have the original one though, so I'm good with just getting this one now.
I am not an experienced Lego builder, but I would like to buy one for my desk. Is it too hard for a novice to build and do you recommend it for someone like myself who has never built a Lego anything in his life? Are the instructions easy to follow?
Imperial 1 class star destroyer, Gideon's 546 Cruiser, Imperial Arrestor Cruiser, Venator Star Destroyer, Tantive IV, imperial 2 class star destroyer, Eclipse class Super Star destroyer, resurgence class Star destroyer, the supremacy....... lots of cool capital ships can be made in Mid scale and not break the bank! :D
I think they should’ve had an Admiral Piett in this set. Great opportunity to get a more modern version of a figure that is extremely under represented in lego considering his role throughout the movies, books and comics and the fact that he commands Vaders fleet. Would’ve been great but oh well ig.
Ryan praising the cool empire strikes back Easter egg and then complaining that it's weird in this set cause it's a return of the Jedi set is such a Ryan thing to do.

What other MIDI-SCALE sets do you want from LEGO Star Wars? 👀
A Venator or ARC-170 would be sick. But let’s be honest, it’s going to be something from the OT, like an X-Wing
Hi love your videos but sadly can’t watch watch bc I have to to bed :(
Acclamatormof course,it's the only well known Republic ship that isn't made in a set
Prolly a ghost or tantive
Republic Gunship
The portrayal of the bounty hunters and Vader on the bridge is one of the best Easter eggs I’ve seen in a set, and shows the designers at their finest
But it's also odd, because the bounty hunters are never on the Super Star Destroyer (or in ROTJ for that matter, barring Boba in the beginning). They're on the Vader's Imperial Star Destroyer, the Devastator.

@@TheTrollMastah yeah but honestly have a small one I can afford would be good for mini space battle Mocs!

hell yeah
A man can dream.
This set could have had a minifigure and clearly has a spot for one. But I don't mind that it doesn't have one. Admiral Piett would be cool imo
Literally what I was thinking
Was just thinking Admiral Piett would have been a perfect figure for this set
Piett, you fool
Yup... came to the comments to see if anyone else was thinking what I was thinking.
I do this with all my Midi-scale stes, for this one I added Vader.
Midi-scale seems like a great opportunity to get some lesser known ships that aren’t well known enough to warrant a full scale set.
Yes agreed. I started collecting Star Wars Armada miniatures for that same reason. If Lego continues to release mini scale ships, not only are they cheaper, but you can display a whole battle scene on your desk, rather than one ship.

Have you seen the building techniques for the space ideas sets? Theyre insane
I like the idea of putting Darth Vader on the stand. I'm going to use the one from the Tie Bomber set.

@@WackAttack didn’t think of that would be amazing too!

place it behind the Throne Room and look through the window.. should feel really good seeing it behind there.. at least I would imagine it being great x'D
Waited for your review to drop, thanks. I agree set is a banger!
Showing the set displayed on a shelf is a great touch, you should do that for all of your 18+ set reviews going forward!
I was waiting for your review of this. I saw other people got it but I knew your review was gonna be the best

Thanks for the advice, i had an extra vader minifigure and didn’t know what to do with it. Now it looks perfect
Midi scale models of the CIS navy like the Invisible Hand of the Providence-class and the Ring carriers of the Lucrehulk-class would be cool😊
I really fink that it is one of the best lego Star wars set that was made this year!
Rather than a Darth Vader minifig it should have had Admiral Piett. After all, he was on the Executor much more than Darth Vader in the movie, and even died there. Piett minifigs aren't exactly cheap on the aftermarket so this would have been a great time to make a new one.

I think that there is an easteregg to the speeder chase set from episode 2 in the inner part of of the build.
We need more at this scale!
I would love to see a full-scale version (I believe we got one in 2009)
think it could be more cool with Admiral Piett as minifig for the set
