What happened to the Hoth moc
Man has a $400 Florida electric bill
I grew up in a 2200 ft² house with a full basement (unfinished) on two and a half acres and it was so sweet. The front yard on the other side of the driveway in front of the house sloped down and that was my playground, but it was also kind of wild with weeds and bumblebees. That's the same area where, when we moved in, it had a bird bath that was so ugly and it got struck by lightning a few years later. I remember hearing that lightning strike right in the front yard.
I've heard that the lowest interest rate for a home loan isn't always the best. I heard that on the radio and I listen to the am radio stations an awful lot.😂
Are you gonna be there?
At this point there are rumors that the ones that tried separating Chewbacca from Ryan didn’t make it out alive😂
Chewbacca is official cohost now
@@timoconnor2618host*
Ryan may not have liked the building experience, but I can see the chemistry between them now
The fact that Chewbacca looks like a FNAF animatronic, makes me believe that those poor souls will never be found
Ask Mandr: What are the most needed remakes for 2024/2025 in your opinion? Mainly what would you like to see happen the most
MTT
Arc 170
Republic Frigate from Phantom Menace
Droid gunship from episode 1, or jango fett's starship...
P. S. Darth Vader's tie fighter, resistance battle pack, another et-wock village lego set
New UCS DV Tie. New UCS B-Wing. New UCS Naboo Starfighter (Episode 1)….
Ask mandr : In your recent battlepack review, you stated that the arc trooper was one of your favorite clones lego had made. What is your least favorite clone?
Love your vids, keep up the good work.
It can’t be any of the ones with bad helmet holes, just the ones prior to thay
@@GeneralPenguinIsCool yeah that’s why I said he can’t pick those ones as they are too obvious
I should've made it clearer, but I meant the ones prior to the helmet holes
Personally this will be a hot take but the Bomb Squad clones and the Gunner from the 2008 clone walker battlepack. Bomb squad clones aren’t badly designed and look great in small numbers in a 212th MOC but they aren’t at all good for army building. Same reason for the clone gunner. Yes it’s well designed but when it comes down to it wouldn’t that set have been better if that clone gunner was one more regular clone. Yes there are worse clones out there in my opinion but I think that super specialized clones generally in battle packs is not ideal. Especially if it’s some utility or pilot clone such as the gunner and bomb squad.
@@ICECAPPEDSKYThe gunner works in battle pack because you see them a lot in TCW, but I completely agree about the bomb squad troopers.
As a former packaging engineer, it’s definitely a corporate push to eliminate all plastics from their products. The paper bags you’re showing in the video are most likely lined with som kinda plastic on the inside or some type of polymer coating to seal the bag. There are different alternatives that involve different kinds of starches but they really effect the type of artwork you can put on the bag and the seal strength of the bag. That’s probably why they went with a box option for the mystery packs.
since 2019 airlines made 5000+ empty flights, and you are telling us a tiny liner in a paper bag is the problem...what a joke
@@aoetje474obviously not gonna make a huge difference in that comparison but it's still a difference. Everyone needs to make changes, just because big companies aren't doesn't mean "oh, if they aren't and they're making the biggest problem then why should I". Sounds a bit childish no?
@@aoetje474exactly...glad someone else gets it
@@aoetje474 why would you want to fly to the service facilities ?
Ask MandR: What is your favorite species from the Lego Star Wars universe?
Not even a heart. Thats rough dude
@@Mr_AmsterdamYT it’s sad… it really is…
@@bjelland_2000 you'll get throughout this tough time soon enough
Ask Mandr: Do you think that Lego is purposefully making sets not as good as they can be, so they can still have improvements to make in future iterations? Or is it out of pure laziness? Love the consistent uploads.
That reminds me of Soviet 5 Year Plans... where people running factories would start out doing absolutely nothing, then every 5 years improve just enough to be given even more resources and cash.
@@HisCarlnessIholy shit the 5 year plan is such a great analogy
@@cdntrooper3078 That said I don't think that's actually what's happening here. That would be weird to do in product development.
He’s probably gonna say 212th bc of head print and helmet holes
@@HisCarlnessI true its not like Lego is trying to kick start a communist nation’s economy after a civil war
Yes the daily uploads keep coming!!! Keep it up Ryan, and I really enjoy watching your content man!
My Oddball dream set would be Asajj Ventress' Fanblade Starfighter from The Clone Wars. You could include a new Ventress minifig in her Nightsister outfit, with Mother Talzin and another Nightsister as extra figures. 🤞
I think the CMF boxes are a good move. Not siding with LEGO, but I feel that you would actually have the chance to get a minifigure that everybody wanted, instead of a fresh box being "feel" then with the figures all bought, listed on ebay or whatnot at x3 the price and the store is left with the unwanted ones not selling, which was a big problem because the store wouldnt want to bring more stock in. (I am still able to find the disney series 2 in store and they are mostly duplicates as usual with the popular ones missing).
Ask MandR: Cowboys winning Super Bowl this year.
with the CMFs, the game is in exchanging them with your friends when you don't get the ones you have
There are also companies selling the complete set. I paid 25 cents more per mini fig plus shipping.
@@jayschulz5313 that's for people with no friends 🤣
Ask MandR: do you think lego Star Wars will bring back mbs sets? I feel like an Ewok village would sell like crazy and be an amazing build with great mini figs. Love the content btw
CMF going from bags to boxes has massively increased the amount of ripped open boxes and scattered figures in my local walmart. Some kid opened ALL of the boxes. This never happened with bags.
AskMandR: when do you think is the right time for the next playset imperial star destroyer? The last one came out in 2014, and for how iconic the ship is I feel like it might be a little overdue.
He didn't even heart your comment, jeez thats rough
What do you mean? The gunship size is average, even massive I would say. We can compare sizes maybe
I've said this for a while but I really want Lego to make a TIE Punisher. First they should make a new TIE Defender and Vader's TIE Fighter, but after that, I REALLY want them to make one. Such a big and beefy ship, I love it. Perhaps you could make a MOC video by combining multiple TIE bombers, since the two are very similar.
@@GeneralPenguinIsCool The TIE Bomber and TIE Punisher are very similar to each other, look up a picture of the TIE Punisher
@@GeneralPenguinIsCool nah it's good
As a legends fan i have to agree, if they make more of those there would be alot of potential TIE fighter variant sets they could make. Im really hoping for a TIE crawler remake myself, the original is good imo but the colouring is inaccurate nowadays
Ask MandR: what are your opinions on the castaway game flamethrower trooper and updated 41st scout trooper? I personally hope they don’t update the scout as the imperial scout mold is very inaccurate. I don’t really see many people talk about them. Could either show up in a set anytime soon?
Such an underrated game.
Ask MandR: do you think LEGO releases some of their products early in some places to build hype for them?(for example the marvel CMF)
Ask MandR: In your opinion what Lego Star Wars set needs a remake?
Ask MandR: what do you think is the most complicated set you’ve ever built. Love the vids
Ask MandR: do you think we will ever get more rogue one sets? If so what do you think they would be? Also nice job on the upload streak!
Just like with a 2nd chance at Rebels sets coming in Ahsoka, the most likely situation would be getting Rouge One sets that tie into S2 of Andor, like a new U-Wing.
Ask mandr: if lego would make a star wars cmf series, what figs would you Pick?
Ask M&r: now that cmfs are in boxes, do you think LEGO will miraculously work out their singular Star Wars minifigure problem with hasbro?
Do you mean boxes?
@@ForestElfLego yeah that’s what I meant.
Of course.
Why would boxes magically fix that?
Ask Mandr: If Lego were to make another buildable figure like the Chewbacca set, who would you want it to be of?
I feel like we need a C-3PO to go with R2, but they'd never do that much pearl gold.
Han Solo would be perfect
For the cmfs there is a unique serial number for each character on the bottom of each box and some people have made charts for what character is what number. At least there is still some hope.
It varies from box to box though. Because it's to do with production times/locations it varies between boxes so there's no definitive code for which figure is which.
AskmandR: what’s the best battlepack for getting alot of named characters, like the bounty hunter battlepack is bad for army building but you can get 4 named characters for cheap
Ask MandR: Do you think Lego will eventually make/remake old republic sets? What are some that you would want them to make? I personally would love a remake of Malgus’ ship or Revan’s leviathan
I can add to the answer at 12:27 about what Lego does to unsold sets. I used to work at a lego store and whatever unsold sets that “outlived their lifespan” were thrown out. Usually once a year around September we were given a scrap list from corporate and we were forced to dump those selected sets in the dumpster.
Ask MandR: How do you feel about the Solo wave going the extra mile and making 3 new unique helmet molds for troopers appearing in one set (Range, Patrol, Mimban Trooper) but not doing the same for clones like Rex and Vaughn?
those were for current sets that had a movie tie-in, and Vaughn and rex haven't appeared in Star Wars media in years.
@@Numpteezwasn't he also in the bad batch? Or am I imagining things
@@Numpteez ok, thanks

@@MandRproductions bruh
Ask MandR: do you think the prices of instructions will go up considering the new Lego insiders scheme ? Also keep up the great vids :)
Honestly, I doubt it. It is 15 cents per set (and optional, technically, anyways*), they don't need to make us pay $5 extra per set or anything. Also, I think they have other reasons to do this, for example, they can see what sets someone has been buying, and maybe offer better set recommendations on their website. Or maybe they want to see who is finding ways around the set limit. (You can only buy a limited number of some sets)
*Not everyone will know about this and do this
EDIT: Sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you were asking if LEGO would increase their set prices, which I was saying that, no, I don't think they will. But will the value of instructions sold separately from the sets go up? Yeah, probably. Maybe not by a large amount, but I bet they will.
no because they'd be spending more on the instructions than they'd be getting in vip points (15 cents).
Ask Mandr: What's your favorite Lego Star Wars Sequel Trilogy set?
Didn't he make a video about top 10 sequel trilogy sets?
@@coraldiamond1922a very long time ago, yes
Ask Mandr: We need a U wing remake! Or a Y wing, do you agree that 2016-2018 was the best period for building a rebel fleet?
For those cmfs I only want the moonknight fig, I’m about to just bring a bright flashlight and test it out and see if I can shine it through enough to see what’s inside lol
Kid already has a plan for that. I’ve got a high intensity, bike light we’re gonna use. We’re gonna shake all of it into one corner and try not to open it up and shine the light into the other corner and see if we can’t see a hairpiece or a torso.
Askmandr: why is everyone okay with the death trooper coming in a battle pack but not the senate commandos as both were covenant figures? Love your channel and keep it up
LEGO switching to boxes is very stupid, however my local lego store employees said they plan on still trying to number the boxes and have a little cheat sheet (they had them for the bags and it was amazing.) I don’t know if anyone else can relate?
I don’t think Lego Chewbacca is gonna be missing from Ryan’s videos for a while 😂
Ask MandR- if lego made a starwars cmf, would you buy them? Personally i would even if there were boxes but I would like to know your opinion.
Mega construx prints codes on their blind bags so you can just look up the code and see what figure is in it. Let’s people find the ones they want and is less of a headache then just feeling around and getting doubles.
As for the CMF boxes: you can still guarantee a certain minifig will be in a certain box if you get to them early enough. There are certain sites which list the exact arrangement of the boxes in the tray as it's the same every time
Ask MandR: I heard you never got the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. I was lucky, getting it for Christmas from my Grandparents back in 2006. It is one of the *EXTREME* few that is still in one piece. And seeing that a LEGO Concorde is coming out, I am truly psyched. But my question is this: if there were any other historical vehicles or machines that you wanted to see, what would they be? (Ex: I would like to see more historic trains - particularly steam locomotives as I am a railfan).
I know the “extra” pieces don’t count towards the piece count, but do accessories that come in packs all add to it? Like the clone rangefinders and visors in the 332nd battle pack that you only use one of?
Ask Mandr: I was able to pick up an ARC Trooper battle pack for £30 GBP at a small Lego convention last November. I've been holding onto it to sell but it's such a great set. Does the possible sale price outweigh the enjoyability of the set? If so, should I open it?
Ask MandR: I think one of and possibly the most underrated armies is the Gungan Army, with this next year being the 25th anniversary of The Phantom Menace and with the possibility of an MTT, do you think that we will get Gungans and maybe even (my Holy Grail) a Gungan battle pack?
Ask Mandr: Do you think well ever get a new ARC 170 set??
That's why I loved to put together the Ghost! Love the multi colored tiles! Thanks Ryan.
Ask Mandr: Why does lego only make sets of the new tv series and some of the movies, but not of the older tv shows like clone wars or some movies like rogue one?
Can you maybe do an updated Version of the Legp Star Wars EOL? (If there are some new ones)
With the benefit of hindsight, do you think that you were too harsh on the inclusion of an airborne trooper in the 2020 Grievous Starfighter?
Ask MandR: Do you think we'll ever get a Pong Krell minifig again.
Ask MandR: I've heard that the UCS Gunship is already on its way out, do you know where (or even if) I could find it on sale to get it for lower than retail before it retires?
With the CMF boxes, just open the box, look inside, and close the box. Bring tape if you want to reseal it
I work at an Australian retailer that stocks LEGO behind glass cabinets, if you ask we let you feel around and grab LEGO and just put it through the register for you rather than just giving you blind bags
Ask Mandr: are we going to a shock trooper battle back to go alongside the gunship just like how we had a snow trooper battle pack to go alongside the AT AT. I understand we did not get one for the AT TE. I also think we may not get a straight up battle pack but maybe a couple of troops in a clone super battle pack!
My walmart used to have the glass and they recently just removed it. I was honestly surprised to see it gone
The gunship is a good size imo, it doesn’t look like it’s too big next to the figs, also in Australia it’s $20 more than the at te :(
With the rumored return of the B2 Battle Droid in 2024, there’s an implication of fixed tall droid legs that comes with them.
I know Lego probably won’t make it, but now that the snapping legs have supposedly been fixed, what would you think of a Droid Specialist Battle Pack that includes 2 Commando Droids, 2 Magnaguards, and the build being a mini J-1 Proton Cannon as seen in the Clone Wars?
Ask MandR: what do you think is the best lego building experience in a set. In other words what is your favorite sets to build
What’s the best Lego Star Wars sets you have
Fortunately I am from the UK where they have the magazines with the polybag/mini figs. Are these expected to come to the US/Canada? Enjoy the content - keep it up :)
They had like 6 years to do it so I doubt it
Ask MandR: I just bought the daily bugle but the box is pretty damaged. I usually keep my boxes after building the set but I don’t know if I should this time. What do you suggest I do?
Remember: You want to get out of that ARM as soon as you can. Even with a cap, if you can lock in a fixed, you’ll be ahead in the end. Thanks for the great content!
The plan is to pay it off in less than 5
Just wanted to say thanks for your hook up with BasicMan, now loving his channel so more proof that Lego is not just for kids👍
Ask MandR: do you think that we will get anymore prequel sets in the next few years.
Personally I would like a ark-170 in the same style as the x- wing
@MandRproductions You should do worst to first entire year selections. Like, 2009 sets, 2015 sets, 2019…just year by year not just sets within years
You’re saying I can’t wheel in a 150 pound scale into a target to get precise measurements on minifigure packs?
Ask MandR: Why has Lego never made a Star Wars CMF series? Does it have something to do with merchandise deals that dictate which companies are allowed to make and sell action figures?
I found LEGO sets at Joann’s Fabric, but no Star Wars :(
Ask MandR: I am trying to buy a big play scale Lego Star Wars set like the Millenium falcon, ghost, and gunship which one would you recommend me buy.
Ask Mandr: Do you think with the new marvel series 2 cmf you can just open it and see what’s inside and then close it without it looking like it was opened.
That defeats the purpose of them being RNG. You wouldn't open all the basket ball packs in a store looking for Kevin Durrant, would you? If you want a specific character, buy them on the secondary market.
@@Gzilla313exactly. I totally missed the marvel series one line because all the nerds in my area so if I see stuff I’m gonna buy it and if I don’t get the characters I want I just wait a little bit and then they’ll be on eBay or Facebook group pages .
I got lucky with the Disney sets. I happen to go to a Kohl’s store when they put a fresh box out and grab like 15 of them and just ran up my Kohl’s credit card. The ones I didn’t find I just got a little bit later.
Ask M&R: which side character Jedi would you want the most in a future set eg Plo Koon/Quinlan Vos etc
Ask mandr : do you think they’ll release a Coruscant Guard battle pack in 2024 to pair with the gunship. Especially since we didn’t get a 212th one for the AT-TE
Ask MandR: what do you think about this for a May fourth promo for 2025: A small set or poly bag that has each clone from the 2005 sets with updated printing but the same old helmet. Build would be a display stand for the figures. Love your videos and keep up the good work!
Ask Mandr: Do you wish they would make More or less Lego star wars Brickheadz
- do you miss your parents?
-no but I miss them doing my laundry and cooking food
XD
AskMandr: I’ve recently started building a clone army and as of right now I only have the 2020 style of clones, do you think I should go back and get sets like the At-Ap or just stick with the newer style of sets?
Love the content and hope to be in the next video👍
The Walmart in North Vancouver, BC, Canada, which is supposed to be a nice suburb, has a half the Lego behind glass, and a bunch of the rest of it has antitheft tags strapped to the boxes.
Not a nice shopping experience.
Ask mandr : do u think the ashoka clone battle pack is for the venator ? Like the snow trooper battle pack?
I was so bad at feeling the packs. That it was usually a mystery 😊
ask mandr: what’s the best way to display mini figs, the foot plate or hollow studs? i’m trying to make a display with every clone so i don’t need clear rods or anything extreme like that and also trying to save space
Can you put the AT-TE and New Gunship next to each other for size comparison.
Ask MandR: What are your top 3 favourite years for LEGO Star Wars? Thanks!
Ask MandR and Chewbacca: How would you rate Lego out of 10? They have definitely not treated you the best but compared to other companies they are pretty good in terms of working conditions, morals, etc.
Is it better to sell sets new in box or better financially to sell parts separate from minifigs and remove the box? Knowing it might take longer and have more shipping costs but could get a higher price?
I've never been to a Walmart that put LEGO behind glass. At that point they should just not sell it. Ridiculous!
ASK MANDR: Would you be able to make a tutorial video converting the Coruscant Guard Gunship to a regular gunship? All I want is a regular gunship but I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on retired/UCS.
Ask Mandr: I was just wonder do you ever go to thrift stores or pawnshops to find sealed Lego sets. Last time I went to a pawn shop were crazy deal 🎉
btw love the content and keep up the grate work❤
I have seen Lego at thrift stores but since Lego is so hot and hip now they Jack up the price
@@tompatchak8706 ya but I went to the pawn shop and picked up a set for 2019 and I got it for way under market value
@@nikmanproductions2912 lucky you!! I’m always looking
Ask MandR: When will the Lego clone age end? I feel like we’ve been getting tons of clone sets in the past couple years that it’s going to come to an end with all the upcoming Star Wars movies and tv-shows?
It's funny you mention bringing a scale to Target. My partner and I went hunting for non-Lego blind boxes because she wanted many of one specific uncommon character and it was trial and error, taking weight averages, and a lot of disappointment. Never again.
Ask MandR: I’m looking at a Lego lot on Mercari, and it has insane value for the figs. It’s over 1k, and I don’t have much money. I’m thinking of selling my hidden side sets to buy it. What do you think I should do?
Ask Mandr: With more clone companies being released (Shock, 501st, 212th, 332nd, 187th) when do you think the possibility for clone cmfs could happen?
If Lego did a Clone CMF where each figure is an unnamed Clone from a different company it would print money. People would buy so many to army build!
It would be a nightmare for retail workers. Damaged boxes would be everywhere. Too many angry customers would exist.
I hope not. I love clones, they're the main thing I collect, but a clone CMF would be so ridiculously impossible to collect because of how commonly they would be sold out and army built, that I'd really hate it if Lego made one.
Ask mandr: Have you ever had a “when I was little, I used to think you were cool” moment in your life? Anyways love the content. Keep up the great work!
Love the natural light in your new place!
ask M&R: What movie scene do you most want to see made into an 18+ diorama set? Id love to see some 2001 A Space Odyssey stuff
Is the new Star Wars Coruscant Guard Gunship™
Star Wars™
Worth it
what's up with the hoth moc??
Will you ever review the second Avatar The Last Airbender set (Air temple)? Also, here is an idea. You know how Lego Ideas does not allow certain properties? Better call Saul and Breaking Bad are among those, and also ones that I perhaps want the most in Lego form. Now, I do not know if you knew about this, but there is actually an animated tv show based around adventures of very young Saul called Slippin Jimmy, and that show has the same tv rating as something like Stranger Things. My question is, if somebody made a project for Lego Ideas based around this show, would they allow it to progress to Gathering Support phase? I mean, that show was terribly reviewed, but it would still be amazing to get something from BB/BCS universe into Lego form.
Ask Mandr: When do you think we'll see the next MBS set? And what will it be?
I'm trying to hang up some ships for my display and I tried to use fishing line and packing tape but that didn't work. Any suggestions?
Ask MandR: do you think we’ll eventually get a ucs ghost with the Ashoka show coming out?
