Just updated the parts list and instructions to replace those old 8x4 wedges in white and dark blue with a couple more modern parts! At the time, the one older part was cheaper than the couple newer ones, but so many people built dropships that it became practically unobtanium!
That new Dropship model looks like something Lego themselves would release themselves with how polished it is. Good to have a modern alternative for the single coolest Clone Wars vehicle without needing to drop a mortgage payment for the original model.
At the time of releasing this video, I went through a bunch of Bricklink stores to find the optimal cost for all of these parts which came out to $149, $167 incl. shipping (Didn't include 2x2 printed republic insignia plate, since they're $5 each and I have a billion of them). In this day and age, that's awesome. This build was always out of reach for me and none of the mocs were just not quite what I wanted. We'll see if the price gets annihilated after the release of this video, but I'm getting it now.
This is awesome to see you highlight a MOC build. I know this is going to be great for Forged, but I just love seeing the best MOCs being featured because many times they get buried online and need to be brought to the surface for others to see
@@Kubaresku Sorry I tried to look but it seems bricklink purges older orders from your history so can't see exactly. It would be a bit different anyway as I colour swapped the dark blue and red for Dark purple as it is for my 187th troopers. From memory I think it was around £150.
So happy to see Forged in Lego getting more recognition for his amazing work. His mod of the Venator to make opening and closing top bay doors is awesome. I’m definitely adding this MOC and the Lego AT-TE to my wish list. Thanks for the awesome review of this custom model-Forged in Lego is the GOAT!
I've got this dropship and it's great. It's a bit finicky during the build, but once it's complete, it's solid as a rock. I even let my 8 year old play with it, and I don't have to worry
I built this MOC last year. It’s extremely fun to play with because of how easy it picks up the AT-TE. Also, it withstands being handled roughly by a 8 year old after an entire year!
I wanted to describe how awesome it looks and be very poetic about it 😂 but you’re right, the best and only suitable word is magical 😂. What a masterpiece. I’m stunned
Thanks for the fantastic review of the custom build. As someone who is fortunate enough to own the official dropship, I cannot overstate how fragile the pickup mechanism is. Really requires two hands to attach the walker and by the time you are done, you never want to drop it to go through it again. It's a really cool display piece but that's it. Really excited to build this custom dropship.
Bloody Hell!!! The price of it went so high up over the years! I still remember the Winter 2015/16 and the cheapest New&Sealed set could be bought for "only" £400 + P&P. It's just under 530 USD with today's rate of exchange. So the price has basically quadrupled since then. 😲 😲
I went to my local Bricks and Minifigs and pieced out this set. Took 6 months and was able to display it for May the forth 2024 for that BAM’s display.
Ah, my all time favorite set. It was actually the last set I got before I went into my "dark ages". Nostalgia aside, this custom model is leaps and bounds better than the original.
I think i found my next project to work on. This thing looks amazing! I work at Bricks and Minifigs. Im sure i can scrounge up the parts and maybe color swap. My AT-TE needs it.
We need to see more custom reviews from you!!! I love seeing them and the amount of detail you go into is awesome. As a request it would be cool to see you review some of the larger ones on BrickVault like the Sand Crawler.
Excellent design by Forged in Lego but I don’t think anyone will beat Bousker’s Dropship anytime soon. Bousker’s design absolutely blows anyone else’s out of the water, but I will say this version has great playability. Another thing going for Forge’s model is that it fits the esthetic of modern Lego Star Wars sets and it looks like it belongs with Lego’s AT-TE.
As a kid I got the original lego drop ship. my parents bought it for my birthday it git destroyed 2 times during playtime with my friends I rebuild it every time endet up selling it for 550€ after 3 years because it was to much money to not take at the time great set worked with the AT-Te that was available at the time
I built this over a year ago. Flimsy body and had to redesign. Mechanical mechanism is impressive. Works well with at te which I modded to display with drop ship on top.
I feel like the secondary market has made some lego star wars so astronomically unobtainable that the hype has made essentially killed the joy of lego and turned basic sets into a great white whale😢
Edit: Ok its a day later and it took about 3 hours of carefully trying to take this thing apart enough to get to the gears without taking it apart too much. And i did get to the gears and fixed them and now this thing works perfectly. However my complaint/warning regarding the instructions still stands, this thing has some very confusing instructions, especially for the gear functions. If you build this thing yourself, I recommend looking up as many extra photos and videos as you can to prevent the mistake both me and my friend made and have the gears in the wrong position all the way until you finish the model. Also valid critisms: small pieces still fall off mine. Im going to break out the super glue which kinda makes me sad, but i never really planned to take this thing back apart anyway but still. Also several chunks of the instructions should have been re-arranged better as it would have made several bits much more coherent and stable while building.
That better be the Forged in LEGO dropship on the thumbnail. Edit: YAY! I bought the instructions for it a while ago I just don’t have the funds to get all the pieces. 😭😭
Solid brick studios have you ever bought a brick vault custom build cause they are just out of this world. You must try them out sometime. Also keep up the good work and can’t wait for the finale of geonosis
Thanks for highlighting this MOC! It looks amazing and I can’t wait to receive the parts to build it. Would love a Minifigs4U collab. Recently received the Venator replacement pad printed parts and couldn’t be happier. I will purchase any sticker replacements you can make available!
FINALLY!!! IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS I own this moc and I love it. I just wish there was a way of displaying it without the ATTE lol Currently, it leans backwards awkwardly
worst moment of my childhood. begged and pleaded my family for this set. grandpa gave my mom money to buy this for my birthday. my mom took the money to buy drugs and told me to look like I was building it so she could send him a picture. missed out on the greatest set of all time because of pills. don't do drugs.
that dropship set was avalible up until like 2014 at big w in australia, legit one of their busiest stores in my couldn't clear it from the shelves for years. sadly i was too poor to be the one to buy it back then

@SolidBrixStudios Hi, how are you? It's about the 15$ credit that you are giving. Is it shipping fee free for your stream on whatnot or anyone's?

❤❤❤❤❤ THANK YOU
You’re awesome!
Finally happy seeing you get some love and seeing people recognize your awesome MOCs. hope to see more from you in the future!
13:38 it’s amazing listening to him geek out like a kid, I absolutely love this!!
Forged in Lego is a GOAT. Love his MOCs and custom made ships.
He’s got one of the best mechanism-building minds I’ve ever seen.
@@crazydog1750 Hey bro!

I recently got to see the original set up close at bricks and minifigs, it was awesome to play with a set so valuable and expensive.
I wanna play with it!

How much did you pay?

I built this at the beginning of the year and it’s better than anything Lego will ever make. Goes great with the 2022 atte
7:24 CLUTCH POWERS MENTIONED!!
Lmao
I never had the original but that Forged in Lego version just looks so clean and a clear upgrade.
LMAO. You had way too much fun swinging the drop ship around. Definitely have to get the instructions for this one.
I've never thought of buying custom sets, but men, this drop ship is 💥
The updated style looks incredible.

BROOOO!!! The way ur camera moves in the time laps is whole other lvl of quality. Amazing! Really appreciate these vids, keep it up.
Damn, I built this model in late 2023 and I’m so glad it’s been given more attention
I’ve modded mine to perfection 😘
I have his animated gunship and I´m in total love with it.
Got to see the custom one last year at a brick con and it’s been on my build list ever since
It looks amazing! And the ability of it to work with some many different generations is 👌

Forever solidifying yourself as the best LEGO channel. Fantastic video, and an immaculate MOC!

Man, I really underestimated Forged in Lego’s version. Now I definitely am gonna have to get the instructions for it.
I went to my local Bricks and Minifigs and pieced out this set. Took 6 months and was able to display it for May the forth 2024 for that BAM’s display.
Ah, my all time favorite set. It was actually the last set I got before I went into my "dark ages". Nostalgia aside, this custom model is leaps and bounds better than the original.
At least you went out with a bang
I think it's awesome, the lego star wars community comes up with really neat custom sets
I think i found my next project to work on. This thing looks amazing! I work at Bricks and Minifigs. Im sure i can scrounge up the parts and maybe color swap. My AT-TE needs it.
I feel like without the ATTE the drop ship looks incomplete, but when the ATTE is on the ship it looks right.
Its nice that you're reviewing custom sets.
Beautiful moc
Wow! I love your enthusiasm for building and playing with the Forged in Lego Republic Dropship.
We need to see more custom reviews from you!!! I love seeing them and the amount of detail you go into is awesome.

Less go! It’s a good day when there a new solid brick video!
BRO MY BIRTHDAY WAS ON AUGUST 25TH HOW AM I JUST WATCHING THIS NOW 😭
kinda insane that we just havent had a remake of this set officially
Bro building two at the same time is hilarious!!! XD
I love this set

endet up selling it for 550€ after 3 years because it was to much money to not take at the time
great set worked with the AT-Te that was available at the time
voting yes for a sticker solution !
Bravo ForgedInLego
my parents when they are 30 : lets buy a house and start a family
me when im 30 : 6:26
As a teenager I really want more clones and more awesome clone vehicles like the custom republic drop ship

I have that one one for over a year and it's fine
11:00 in-universe the dropship is quite a bit larger with a length of nearly 30m while the LAAT/i has a length under 20m.
Toy Fair reveals >>>>>> modern day leaks and last minute reveals
You should post an epic reveal video of Geonosis (like you did with Daro), then post the finale! It is looking so amazing!
It amazes me how one can remake a same sets for 10 years, but cant remake this one set with killer play features
Solid brick studios have you ever bought a brick vault custom build cause they are just out of this world. You must try them out sometime. Also keep up the good work and can’t wait for the finale of geonosis
Looks really good
I am building one for my motorized atte
It looks like an official LEGO set.
Guys will just look at this and say:
Hell yeah!
I just about set on getting to coruscant gunship to mod it into a drop ship, seeing this has me so geeked. Definitely sold on this moc.
Official Lego one still looks better in my opinion but the functionality on the custom is amazing
Thanks for highlighting this MOC! It looks amazing and I can’t wait to receive the parts to build it.
Would love a Minifigs4U collab. Recently received the Venator replacement pad printed parts and couldn’t be happier. I will purchase any sticker replacements you can make available!
Very thankful to own the dropship with atot set.
went to go like the mic so I can find it again. and I was already following his page 😂
Looks awesome! I like my coruscant drop ship though and the price can’t be beat
Desperate want a march on jedi temple set. Ucs or 26 anniversary. 6shineys 4 501sts Vader and some younglings pleaseeeee
FINALLY!!! IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
I own this moc and I love it. I just wish there was a way of displaying it without the ATTE lol
Currently, it leans backwards awkwardly
I remember watching your dropship review back when you were legoboy and man I was jealous… and still am..
I really hope the finale is like 45mins
worst moment of my childhood. begged and pleaded my family for this set. grandpa gave my mom money to buy this for my birthday. my mom took the money to buy drugs and told me to look like I was building it so she could send him a picture. missed out on the greatest set of all time because of pills. don't do drugs.
Damn, I’m so sorry about having a mom like that
I wanted the OG set back then when I was little SOO BAD, today too…..😭😭😂😂😂💯💯
I hate that you showed us this, I need it now 😂
You know what’d be cool? A UCS trade federation cruiser.
Geonosis MOC mentioned!!! He still remembers it!
Lego really needs to make a New Dropship, it’s long overdue
nice ive missed so much star wars lego
12:42 "Now there has been custom Republic Drop sh*ts by other creators in the Lego Star Wars community" 😯
that dropship set was avalible up until like 2014 at big w in australia, legit one of their busiest stores in my couldn't clear it from the shelves for years. sadly i was too poor to be the one to buy it back then
Hmmm, I would need more space first
Very cool!
Dropship w/ AT-OT is the greatest Lego set of all time. I probably will never own the original unopened $1500 set.
Epic dropship update nice music 👍
0:11"the greatest lego clone wars set to exist" are we forgetting the 2007 MTT! I think the drop ship with atot is the 2nd best set to existed.
Nobody has mentioned the Sail Barge in the background? 👀 Hinting at the future
Whats the timestamp?
Really hope Forged in Lego makes an ATOT next🙏
I WATCHED YOUR GEONOSIS MOC SERIES TODAY!!!!!
love your channel
When you swayed the AT-TE, i feel like it would let go any second.
I still prefer the Original Version❤
Hiiiiiii this is a sick vid
Just sold mine recently. Im sure ill regret it in the future
Yo I thought he said Saturday I was like dang that would be cool if I watched the stream and got it on my birthday 😂😂
DAVE YOU HAVE A MASSIVE INFLUENCE IN THE LEGO COMMUNITY DO YOU THINK THAT YOU COULD CONVINCE THEM TO MAKE ONE?
I love that clone pilot. I see that I can purchase the helmet from your store. Where is the torso from?
