I dont wanna be the erm actually guy, but the venetor didnt say the figures would be exclusive forever, just that they ARE exclusive to the set when it released.
Exactly! I’m just pointing out the argument that a lot of people have made as to why they’re upset. I think it’s a bad idea make a big purchase solely based on the Minifigures, especially when you have no idea what LEGO may choose to do in the future. There’s always that “risk” involved.
while i do see your point, and i don't mind that he's in a cheaper set. the wording for rex was "exclusive" but the wording for the luke minifigure was described as "new" but he wasn't added in the X wing fighter like we thought. i think they just keep things vague to pull something like this and they really need to work on it.
@@_trashvis_I can definitely get behind that, especially since people do care so much about exclusivity when it comes to Star Wars Minifigures specifically, and there’s a high likelihood that the designers knew this set was already in development at the same time. Perhaps it was a mistake on the instructions team , who might not have had access to that information, and it was just never changed upon final approval? It’s funny how one word can make all the difference.
@@AnakinSkywalker-qe2rk To be fair, it's still Lego's fault for waiting 4 years to release a Rex to the masses. Way back in 2020 when Season 7 was launched, we got an AAT set with Ahsoka, and also a Ahsoka vs Maul set, so that's 2 sets with Ahsoka. Even the AAT set had a 332nd trooper, so instead of putting Ahsoka in that, we coulda got Rex. The 501st battle pack released that year too, and so did a few Mando set I think? And the Mandalorian fighter with Bo Karan and Gar Saxon released a year later. So they had all the right pieces for the Siege of Mandalore... Except a Captain Rex figure. Now yeah, the 332nd battle pack with Von got released late too, but considering we got a 501st battle pack I'm already happy with the 2020 wave. It's just, why was Rex 3 to 4 years late, you know?
I freaking love my venator toy, like it’s literally not even a collectors item that I paid $650 for and it’s so swooshable and has so many play features for the exclusive minifigures included
@baileygregory9192 yes people should buy it for the set but it is a nicer thing to get exclusive figs that only premium buyers r able to get than releasing it in a 12.99 2 bit fighter. Would’ve been much much better if they had released both the ucs venator and the microfighter at the same time so for people who only want the Rex they buy the microfighter but for people who want the venator and the Rex it saves them some money.
I don’t even look at it as an investment, just something special and unique in my collection because $650 is just a little bit more money and shows a little bit more dedication to the hobby than a $13 thing
Lego investment is a sham. Simply buying and reselling at a higher price point no matter the quantity is scalping. I am glad they hurt there are literal toys
I think most people are happy. Cheap Rex for all. I get that some people felt manipulated by the “exclusive figure” label and bought the Venator just for the figure. But you really shouldn’t be spending $650 mostly for a figure.
I went through the comments and saw no one claiming the ownership of a venator here beside the Creator of the video ofc. So perhaps one view from a Venator owner (myself): A little bit of backstory: i did not buy the venator solely for Rex. Rex was a huge win and argument for getting the set, but i loved the venator since the clone wars, i loved yularen as a character, rex is my favorite figure (i got his j'aig eyes as a Tattoo) and the venator is such a beautiful ship. Many reasons for me to buy it as my first UCS set. Now to my opinion if anyone cares about it: i understand everyone that rex shouldn't be gatekeeped. Thats a damn good reason to hate Lego for bringing him in a 650€ (germany) set. I'm happy for anyone being able to get him now. I knew about the leaks before i bought the venator, still bought it. The only thing i would "complain" about, is that they could have made the rex a little bit different in the UCS Set (perhaps a waist cape or something, idk) for the "exclusivity" part. But it's not that big of a deal for me personally. I don't mind that my rex is the same as the Microfighter rex. So yeah that's my honest opinion TLDR; I have a venator, I'm all for the ability to get rex in a cheaper set for anyone else, rex wasn't the sole reason for buying the Venator, there where other factors. Thanks for reading
I thinks that’s the idea. Lego releases a set with an exclusive minifigure cause they know that will help sell it to make more money than release it in a cheaper set so people on a budget can still get it.
I personally think it’s a cheaper and much more efficient method to obtain this figure and making exclusive to a ucs set wouldn’t make sense as there are many fans of the character who can not afford the price of the set
Of course exclusive figures in ucs sets makes sense. If you spend that much money you should definitely get exclusive figures. That being said they could release at least another version of Rex in the micro fighter just like this guy said in the video
@@ReturnOfTheBrick-66I agree with you, lego also just decreased the demand in the ucs venator a little bit as the people who wanted the set and want exclusive figs won’t be buying at.
@@OldRepublic99 definitely! I was going to get it, but now I won’t. I don’t want to spend so much money at a set without exclusive and expensive figs. No, I don’t buy it just for Rex. I buy it for the set! Which includes the build AND exclusive figures
@@allenrosales9738 no. I just wrote that if I spend so much money on a set I want exclusive figures with it that will be valuable to have besides the set itself. They could just make another version of Rex for the micro fighter. I’m not tryna keep characters locked behind a paywall
The counter argument for the instructions saying the figs would remain exclusive doesn’t hold up for me, because that’s still lying without omission, purposely leaving out important details to mislead someone.
Honestly I think it’s a good way for people who aren’t Tony frickin stark to acquire a captain Rex minifig and not spend six-hundred dollars although I think it was kinda dumb of LEGO to say the Rex mini figure would be exclusive then release it in a cheap microfighter
Corporations should be completely transparent with the product you’re going to receive BEFORE you buy it. no one forced them to use deceptive wording in the marketing their extremely expensive set, they could’ve easily been open about the fact that the Rex was not exclusive from day 1 and no one would complain. The fact that this is a difficult concept for you people understand is astounding. Don’t deceive your customers…
What’d you think was going to happen?😂 it’s a cheap, easily massable set with the most desired character ever in it, look at the 501st battle pack, and literally any other set that was desirable and under $100 because those draw more scalpers than a $650 set with a limit of 2 copies
Those that purchased the venator set still have an exclusive VENATOR, if you’re complaining and whining because captain rex is now on a Y Wing then I’m glad legos incredible consumer choice is upsetting you and ruining your scalping and poor financial choices.
I love how anyone who is a fan of Lego who is able and willing to pay a premium price for something and enjoy that something but also want that something to stay special even if they don’t have a thought in their minds about selling something that special to them is a scalper now😂😂😂
If the Rex had a different head Mandr would have a fit. I imagine it would go something like this “captain rex isn’t accurate 😭😭 captain rex escaped in his y wing after getting his chip taken out so he needs the bandage 😭😭”
Or since the background of the box is a scene from bad batch and in that episode both Rex and his y wing show up they could’ve given him the poncho they made for qui gon so nobody could argue about accuracy
I mean that set been sold out since day 1 and you have get it through back order for 2 months they just restocked the target stores and they already sold out in some stores I just cleared a shelf 😂 and on my way to a target that has some to clear them to that’s 30 min away
But the people who bought the venator are the ones getting called the scalpers when captain rex had been sitting on brick link for around $20 since march😂
I feel like we seem to forget Legos are for kids. Kids don’t have 600 dollars to spend because they want one of the MAIN FUCKING CHARACTERS OF THE SERIES! You want to spend 600 dollars just for a main character, GO PLAY WARHAMMER 40K AND LET KIDS HAVE FUN!
I’m a kid, I grinded all summer and got it on release date, not to mention I had my money all planned out so I was able to buy some smaller things on the side and still get it the day of
I would've been fine if they just took the bandage off his forhead. The people who are mad are the ones who got the Venator almost exclusively for the figs, im just glad i managed to finally get a Rex figure
People who cared about reselling have sold their rexes months ago for much more than the around $20 rex was sitting at like 2 months before this came out😂
All it seems to have done is give the scalpers a new thing to scalp. Can’t find it in stores, can’t find it online, and it’ll likely be that way for months.
I understand some AFOL collect Lego for just the mini figures, which is baffling to me. But I am so happy to see Rex in a cheaper set. At the end of the Day Lego is a toy and it should not Paywall some of their best mini Figures behind a six hundred dollar set. Also just gonna say it if you buy a set that cost hundred of dollars just for the mini figures you’re an idiot. 😂 the Venator looks so cool I can’t imagine buying that set “Just” for Rex. 🤭
Words of a Lego fanboy that can't hear his dearest company getting critique for a hard mess up. (Notice how all these channels say like the exact same thing) If you want to hear real critique and feed back on which Lego set is "good" you can check out Held der Steine (he's a German RUclipsr that gives a complete showcase of sets, but most of you would probably have to put on subtitles)
They said it was exclusive, and it should stay that way. I’m not trying to keep Rex behind a paywall, and I don’t have the Venator myself, but it’s not fair what Lego did. Also the Star Wars designers said they listened to the fans wanting exclusive and premium figures for ucs sets after the disaster with the ucs gunship. This proves that they lied once again
Scalpers have no love for their sets, and I don’t think you understand how scalping works, first you have to find a set that is cheap, easily obtainable and heavily desired by a community(not a $650 set that limits you to 2 copies but a $13 microfighter should to the trick) then you first have to go online and order as many of those copies as soon as they drop, be careful on this step because you’re still paying attention to the road as you’re driving to all your local retail stores and sprinting through them making sure a little kid can’t take a copy for himself, then after a hard days work you have to make the hard decision on wether you’re going to keep them sealed or open them, part them out sell the pieces and the figure on their own then make a bricklink account and sell them for a higher price than you bought them for. Make sure you do this all in one day as well to make sure you have as many of them as possible to stop people who can buy from another reseller and give them the least amount of pricing options as possible, then you just have to ship them out and you’re done!

I despise Lego investors. Like the whole reason Lego was made was to give kids a new toy not a way for adults to make money.
They're also the reason it's so expensive to get discontinued sets
Yeah, although I guess I shouldn’t complain, it’s made all my childhood sets worth a ton.
I freaking love my venator toy, like it’s literally not even a collectors item that I paid $650 for and it’s so swooshable and has so many play features for the exclusive minifigures included
Yeah honestly it sucks. But it's nice knowing my sets will sell for more in the future when I get tired of them 😂
Imagine buying a £500 set just for a couple of figures and not the actual set
set is very big, and few people would have display space .

Lego in one year
ADMIRAL YULAREN MICROFIGHTER
Venator Microfighter would go hard tho
I know it is possible because we did get a star destryer microfighter
Ok be fair that'd be cool AF lol
Me: "i never got to thank you"
Lego: "and you wont have to"
Lol
Why cant people just be like "Yo two cakes!!" Like two Rex's are amazing
Watching Lego investors cry is one of my favourite things in life
I don’t even look at it as an investment, just something special and unique in my collection because $650 is just a little bit more money and shows a little bit more dedication to the hobby than a $13 thing
It hasn't divided the community it's ticked off those that use Lego as an investment or scalp Lego they are not fans.
Lego investment is a sham. Simply buying and reselling at a higher price point no matter the quantity is scalping. I am glad they hurt there are literal toys
Any scalpers have sold their stocks off before the new years because the venator is just sitting at retail in store and online😂
I think most people are happy. Cheap Rex for all. I get that some people felt manipulated by the “exclusive figure” label and bought the Venator just for the figure. But you really shouldn’t be spending $650 mostly for a figure.
Wanting a little something to be unique doesn’t mean we bought the venator for that one little thing we wanted to be unique😂😂😂
