The vulture Droid never fires missles with its wings closed, so I consider that a design feature. For reference, before the vulture Droid launches missiles in ROS in the beginning space scene, he separates his wings, then fires
good memories attached to this set. when i was a kid my family drove all the way to florida from new england and got this set along with some lego minifigure magnets and the separatist shuttle. if i knew what i know now i would begged for the at-ot 😂
I am Loving these throw back reviews. I personally was rather young for the Prime CW sets so these videos feel very nostalgic but also help me learn about the era I was too young to comprehend.
I had to replace that exact printed piece and it broke in the exact same spot too. I went to bricklink and bought 3 of those pieces and when I put the replacement on the first one I tried snapped oit their perfectly. There was some creaking but it went together perfectly. I have to replace 6 of the red pieces and yes, might was fresh from the box. It was the most stressful building experiances I ever had. Now I hide this set behind my UCS Republic Gunship for safe keeping. Nothing can accedently fall on it and its all by its lonesome. Glad I have it but boy I'm never toughing it again. Its staying there forever. If you want this set. I recomend keeping it in the pretty box. 😂😅
3:12 See, I had the same problem when I was building my Venator Attack Cruiser back in 2019 because some parts just did not want to attach and it were the plate bricks for the lower part of the ship. It had nothing to do with any broken pieces, but I think the one I got had a poor QC issue when it came to friction on the plates. 9-year old me resorted to the one thing that I had never done before: super glue the plates. Just a drop of glue on some of the areas and just press the brick down as hard as I could. A painful procedure for my palms, but was it worth it? Yes.
Nope, togrutas have both Lekku and Montrals. "Lekku" is just the word for head tails, and "Montrals" is the word for their horns. So Ahsoka, like all togruta, has 3 lekku and 2 montrals.
Few months ago I got out my late 90s Adventurers sets with those rubbery palm leaves that you can't get anymore. And in a matter of seconds they all crumbled upon touching like cornflakes. Lego needs a best before date on their pieces...
In 2009 I was still in my Dark Ages, so most sets passed me by...I was aware of them but didn't care. But I had honestly NEVER seen this set before. I don't even recall it at any store. So, to me, this is entirely new. And yeah, those printed slopes looked gorgeous (the crack kinda hurt to watch, ngl). Pretty sad to know that today LEGO would just slap stickers in them and call it "a premium product".
It's a shame that we never got Ahsoka's eta-2 interceptor. It was only in 1 episode of the clone wars, but it would be cool to complete the collection of eta-2's (and we got Barris' delta-7 despite it not even being in an episode; it's just in the intro of one episode). Plus it would be another place to get R7-A7. And I just like the colour scheme of Ahsoka's starfighters.
I hated flick-fires so much as a kid. I'd flick them, and the set would fall apart, or I'd just push them and they'd just kind of...fall out. Lego has definitely done much better projectiles since then, but I did hate the era where "play features" in a lego set often meant those awful flick-fire missiles.
Pretty sure it was overpriced cause it was a Walmart exclusive. I could be wrong but I think back then the exclusives used to cost a bit more than they should have, but I could be generalizing this as I definitely know that TRU exclusives were more expensive than they should have been, but I think that was TRU tax and not Exclusivity tax.
Although Ahsoka has been a detriment to the franchise, I'd like to see this set remade, just so I could get R7 in the standard style. I love astromech droids.
@StarNameKev Is it interesting to state a basic fact? The fact is that Ahsoka has been a narrative blight. The timeline had to be drastically altered, and several characters assassinated to excuse her mere presence, which has far overstayed its welcome. She's become Filoni's pet OC, with the narrative being unnaturally written around her and forced on us as the "answer" to the sequel garbage.
Hey Ryan, i know this is kind of random, but i i currently have around 20-30 destroyed lego sets, i started sorting out my pieces i first started with sorting out by piece but now started to sort them by brand, i put all the fakes on another bin, any tips on how i should sort them?
I feel your pain, try to learn all the lego colours, took me a while but now I'm getting pretty good at spotting fakes from a distance.. 'second brick to the left' does one really good vid on all of the colours plus lots of shorts.. please tell her I sent you 👍
Hey mandr, i have the new phase 2 captain rex and i noticed that they use a new double vented head mold instead of the hallow stud, but now the head hole is so thight that since i put rex’s head on the fig he has a white stretch mark around the nek of the head mold. Do you have the same problem, hope you find the time to reply
Have you considered dumping the whole score out of 10 and do something a little more customized? As you've stated before, it's just so arbitrary that it really doesn't mean much. I follow Jeremy Jahns for movie reviews, and his system for rating movies is like "No alcohol required" or "See it and buy the Blu-Ray" or "Awesometastic" etc. You could have a lot of fun coming up with a whole system for rating that is less arbitrary and makes your videos just that much more awesome :)
Ryan stop it, i have this boxed but just one and you make me want to open it from my crazy boxed collection, WHAT is up with that brick, i had heaps of cheese slops cracking 2010, are my old sets going to be that bad???? Will Lego fix this owning Bricklink lol.
Love that Lego is bringing back the sets with 2 large builds this year, brings me back to good times with sets like this
Sadly today it’s $100 for a good tie fighter and a skinny fang fighter
The vulture Droid never fires missles with its wings closed, so I consider that a design feature. For reference, before the vulture Droid launches missiles in ROS in the beginning space scene, he separates his wings, then fires
This ^ @mandrproductions
For once it actually IS a feature, not a bug
You opening the old sets from brand new sealed is the best part. Very nostalgic and satisfying
I’ve been loving your trip back in time set reviews, I have so much nostalgia for 2007-2009 lego Star Wars!
The reason the piece won't attach is because at 2:40 you can see one of the studs on the bottom of the piece is partially filled in
I had noticed that too, dunno how he didn't
good eye
That shouldn't matter, though, because that is the tub that goes between the studs, so there is a different problem going on. (Edit: Tube not Tub)
good memories attached to this set. when i was a kid my family drove all the way to florida from new england and got this set along with some lego minifigure magnets and the separatist shuttle. if i knew what i know now i would begged for the at-ot 😂
Crazy to think we haven'y gotten a Vulture Droid in nearly 10 years when they used to come so thick and freely.
I just wanted to say I really appreciate the daily uploads while maintaining the quality, keep up the great work! :D
Loved this set. I lost one of the printed pieces as a kid and it sucks.
2:40 there looks like there’s something in one of the holes that looks like it shouldn’t be there and maybe that’s why it wasn’t being able to connect
I am Loving these throw back reviews. I personally was rather young for the Prime CW sets so these videos feel very nostalgic but also help me learn about the era I was too young to comprehend.
The 2x2 tiles with stickers on each wing are oriented incorrectly
they should update and re-release this set and the V-19 Torrent in 2028 for the 20th Anniversary of the Clone Wars
This set is worthy of being a remake in the next 10 years. The Client: "Don't you agree?"
pretty much. I will take it over another landspeeder, snow speeder

8:17 you’re supposed to open the legs (whatever they’re called) and then fire the missiles
amazing clone wars set thanks for reviewing it
Amazing review🎉
Great review Ryan! That’s a pretty good set in my opinion!
Thank you for finally reviewing this
Are we getting a summer wave review / ultimate buyers guide for this year?
My brother had this set. I remember it tripling in value very quickly after retirement.
Great review! I just disassembled this set yesterday to ship out. It’s such a great looking set, even by today’s standards.
I love your videos
This was one of my first 10 sets I believe as a kid. Got it for my birthday and definitely was one of my most played with sets.
Please do a review on a z-95 headhunter
I’ve been looking for this set for years, this and windu’s delta 7 are the last two I need to complete my delta 7 collection

I was 2 years old when this came out 😢
Ashoka’s Species doesn’t have Lekku like Twileks but their Head „tails“ are called Montrals
Nope, togrutas have both Lekku and Montrals. "Lekku" is just the word for head tails, and "Montrals" is the word for their horns. So Ahsoka, like all togruta, has 3 lekku and 2 montrals.
@@stanleydodds9 i See interesting; didn’t know that
Love these throwback sets while Ahsoka eps come out
I wouldn't mind a review of set 9498 Saesee tiins starfighter
I miss when LEGO made those Jedi star fighters for a different Jedi every year.
Also that Astromech droid is stupidly expensive in its own
Where new video
Few months ago I got out my late 90s Adventurers sets with those rubbery palm leaves that you can't get anymore. And in a matter of seconds they all crumbled upon touching like cornflakes.
Lego needs a best before date on their pieces...
always wanted this growing up 🥲
Didn't you notice there is an imperfection on the fastening holes underneath, maybe that's the reason it won't connect.
I built the 10318 Concorde. Not a single sticker!🎉🎉🎉 Imagine a future with no Lego stickers and no unrecycleable stickers sheets...🤯🤯🤯
MandR i recommend trying to repair the crack on the piece on starfighter by using tamiya puddy
When you put a figure in a gen 1 jedi starfighter it really does look cool.
One of my favourite astromech s and the best vulture droid In my opinion
Drak red is a pain i had bad luck with my arc 170 where many of those pieces broke
They need to release a new vulture droid/ vulture bomber
The bomber is called the Hyena Bomber just so you know.
The streak continues 🔥
Everyone’s gangsta in their spaceship until they see Buzz Droids with a human size

An underrated certified hood classic from the late 2000s 😅

Miss those days
my first lego sw set, goated fr
I think you should have soak that dark red parts in warm warm water so it could soften them some and use a shampoo and conditioner in the Ayer as well
I wanted this set when i was younger lol
What do you think of doing a tier list of the best retired sets to buy under the 200 dollar price range?
Do you know when you will do a review on the twilight from the clone wars? I would love to see that.
Yooo i remember getting this set for chrismas😃
why is this set so expensive now😭
Most straightens are also her astromech
Ask mandR: when is the best time to buy the ucs razor crest?
I only paid 100 bucks for mine on ebay considering the price of it nowadays im glade i did
This is cool and all but WHAT ABOUT THE HOTH MOC
The broken piece has something stuck on the hole in the bottom, try to sand it down and it’ll work
I have this set new now im worried about building and having the same issues good to know thanks
The streak is over 😢

Malevolence Review Please 👏🌟✨
its absolutely shocking that this costs less than the new ahsoka's starfighter
Exactly! If anything the new Starfigher should’ve been a max of 35 but preferably 25 or 30
That looks like a nice set! Hey, could you help me with finding a low cost lego set for display?
I'm terrified to build my slave 1
Are you going to buy a new Lego slope piece on brick link?
Pretty sure it was overpriced cause it was a Walmart exclusive. I could be wrong but I think back then the exclusives used to cost a bit more than they should have, but I could be generalizing this as I definitely know that TRU exclusives were more expensive than they should have been, but I think that was TRU tax and not Exclusivity tax.
Lego's quality control on those dark red bricks is absolutely unacceptable, idk how you can fuck something up this severely.
It's a children's toy just shut the fuck up
cool
Ask MandR: Why is the Tie fighter helmet set so expensive? It sells for 399$ now.
Although Ahsoka has been a detriment to the franchise, I'd like to see this set remade, just so I could get R7 in the standard style. I love astromech droids.
How do you mean?
@@StarNameKev
What do you not understand?
@bluehero-96 I'm curious why you think Ahsoka has been a detriment to the franchise. That's a very interesting claim

Babe, can well sell the kids? There's an Ahsoka set I really need, pleeease.. 🙏
You missed like a milimeter on the vulture droid. Don’t be so harsh its still very good.
Why is her lightsaber like yellow green?
Image getting a starship when you turn 14? Lucky.
The pain we all felt when you cracked that set open 😢
You're pretty strong if you can crack a Lego like that or there is really something wrong with the quality of that brick.
🔥
Ryan stop it, i have this boxed but just one and you make me want to open it from my crazy boxed collection, WHAT is up with that brick, i had heaps of cheese slops cracking 2010, are my old sets going to be that bad???? Will Lego fix this owning Bricklink lol.
It's such a good set but so overpriced.
It's looks like a Darito, and it's almost as brittle!
Hello there
What's wrong with the vulture Droid bomber it's pretty good nothing funnier than dropping a bunch of bombs on your AT-TE and clones
LEGO HIRE HIM
Day 21 of asking for a review of Darth Vader’s tie advanced vs. A-wing starfighter
ok
Ahsoka is wearing a boob tube ha ha I think that is an old saying for that kinda top 🙂
