I would love a minifig scale TIE with that level of detail in the cockpit, I think it looks near perfect.
True.
But it would use many small stickers for it
This !
Even though I saw the review on other channels, I still make sure I support Jang. His commentary feels more authentic and mature to me. Keep the reviews coming!!
The thing I like about Jang is that he buys all his sets and isn’t sponsored. Therefore can actually give open and honest feedback without fear of repercussions.
A wild metagross appeared!
That's a shiny for sure
Hey Jang! I believe the dark grey 2x3 slope piece is supposed to represent a replaced piece of fuselage covering. This detail is present on modern TIE model renders, on EA's TIE models this is very easy to notice.
Hi! Could you please give a more specific reference? I would love to know why the dark grey slope. Have a nice day.
So it's a new addition, not present on the movie props? I was only looking for screen used RoTJ references assuming that was the correct original source
@@JANGsLEGOreviews yes I believe so.
the model from Battlefront 2?
I looked at gameplay footage of both Battlefront 2 and Squadrons and couldn’t see a dark grey panel in the same location as the Lego one.
8:31 the tie interceptor looks way different than i remember
Jang is my go-to reviewer when it comes to Lego. Love his calm but excited way of talking. Keep it up!
As others have mentioned, that dark piece is accurate. Looking at the shooting model, there is a dark panel in that location. However on the shooting model, it’s a lot more subtle. They probably should’ve gone with a light gray brick with either a sticker or print in dark gray on it.
Unfortunately links won't work in a viewer comment, but can you direct me to a website with a photo of a screen-used original RoTJ Interceptor prop with this feature? I've failed to find any that show it, only replicas & modern fan models. The originals I've seen are the same color all around except for the little dark bits at the 3 & 9 o'clock positions like on the front.
I really think they should credit the studio designer's name on the box. It is really fascinating to me the level of work to design and engineer these.
If you find a better stand build I’d love to see a mini follow up video. I agree, my biggest gripe is the pose angle, and something better would really help
You are right, it looks much better at a more level angle. I think the angle of the stand makes it look a bit back heavy somehow.
The angle! Exactly, thats a great detail they missed!
8:33 uhh, is that supposed to be there? Unexpected Metagross
Happy May the 4th Jang! Helpful review for those debating a purchase. For me, I skipped this set over the promo period because despite the UCS details, just doesn't feel like a $200+ set. Gray is fine, but I have strong nostalgic attachment to the original blue scheme of the first UCS Tie Intercepter, as inaccurate as it was designed. How could the designer nail so many details around the cockpit, but make the flanking strips near the windscreen so odd? I believe this set will drop in price eventually like the UCS Sand Speeder. Currently, it's over-hyped.
Totally unrelated to this video, but you need to review the Dungeons and Dragons Red Dragon's Tale. I also can't wait for the new Speed Champions. For sets like the D&D set, I understand that there's a lot of people who get to review it super early, but I think a lot of people, myself included, like to watch a specific person do reviews. I like your style, how you cover each set, and the opinions you express. I find myself watching you review sets and themes that I don't necessarily care about, just because it's you reviewing them
Just A Nice Guy making some amazing reviews! Thanks for always being a balanced honest reviewer and for sharing your thoughts on these LEGO products!
Always expansive, honest and concise Jang. Keep it up
8:32 lol
What was that?
@@ToerinatorThat's a Pokemon called Metagross.
This is a rare case with an upscaled USC set where (imo) some light modding and ignoring of the source could turn this into a really good minifig scale craft
Awesome Jang! What are your thoughts between this and ‘play-scale’ one included in the combo pack with Fang Fighter? Is this worth the extra expense for the size and detail? I know it’s a situational question but…
I’m still waiting for mine to arrive but this looks so much better in your video compared to the photos and such on the Lego site. Absolutely love the shaping of the wings.
This set looks so cool
Happy May the 4th my friend. Great video. I never miss a recent UCS and I ordered this one as well :)
Nice Jang 😺💙🐾 I love this build! May the Fourth be with You! Cheers 🍻
Amazing build!😍
Looks fantastic may the 4th be with you awesome review jang 👍
Great review. Ive nearly finished building this and Ive really enjoyed it. I love the way the wings came together
I'm a big fan of interceptors (/ sharp wing ties like the silencer) too , and this wasn't grabbing me , but you're so right, the presentation really changes the whole thing. The "nose up" model airplane aah pose was just not working for me.
Not a fan of how many studs and understuds are on there though. Especially for a UCS set
Love your reviews, great work!
That 45° 2x4 slope with cutout and no studs would’ve made my current project a bit sturdier and a fair bit easier.
Happy May 4th ! Totally agree about the angle. Beautiful ship, bad angle.
Totally agree about the stand angle. Plan to make the modifications when I finish mine
@18:55 you and me both man. Excellent games. Favorite tie fighter, tied with tie defender.
It looks like an eyeball with wings. 😂
Happy 4th everyone!
Don't think it's canon anymore, but in the Legends continuity, Rebel pilots did refer to TIE Fighters as "eyeballs", Interceptors as "squints", and Bombers as "blinks."
That's what the rebel pilots call TIEs in the books, "eyeballs". They call Interceptors "squints".
The "real thing" has panel shapes that are similar to the suspenders on this model. I think my biggest issue with them is the double-hump shape of them rather than a single smooth curve.
mine is currently in the mail, super psyched for it to arrive. Favourite Star Wars ship and probably only UCS set i will get
Metagross cameo
8:31-8:33 threw me off so much I thought I misclicked lol
Not hating or trying to be all jerky about it ofc, just found some humor in the situation lol
I really hate the straps. Those are a huge issue for me I got fixated on. But the wings are incredible. So I'm on the fence about buying it next year.
And yes a bad angle on display like the X-Wing.
If it had the Fang Fighter VS interceptor cockpit to go with these amazing UCS wings I would be happier. The back of the cockpit looks awful to me. What a mess.
Hey Jang, LEGO has already confirmed to switch back to the mat display plagues. Since the shiny ones would get scratched up easily in a lot of people’s sets. Yours seems to look alright tho.👍
My time was well spent, thank you 😊
A wild Metagross appeared:
Jang reviews are back 😊
Currently building it! Had no issues with the cockpit, but the second wing attachment kept falling to pieces when going into the technic connectors
Great video jang
If you figure out a custom build for the stand, you should show it off! I love the interceptor, it's one of my favorite star wars ships, and I couldn't agree more about just how off the presentation is here
I more exited than I should be about that light gray train wheel
May the fourth be with us, always
If you look at the studio model Interceptor, there's a dark panel on the back of the cockpit, the dark grey slope piece is there to mimic that.
Unfortunately links won't work in a viewer comment, but can you direct me to a website with a photo of a screen-used original RoTJ Interceptor prop with this feature? I've failed to find any that show it, only replicas & modern fan models. The originals I've seen are the same color all around except for the little dark bits at the 3 & 9 o'clock positions like on the front.
@@JANGsLEGOreviews I must've been mistaken, I do have photos of screen used Tie Fighters with the darkened panels at the 1:30 position. I've also seen pictures of screen used tie-interceptors and they are lacking that feature... I wonder if the Lego designer saw the Tie-Fighter and assumed the Interceptor had the same feature.
Looks great, not a day one buy for me. Might get it once it’s discounted (like the current UCS X Wing). I just hope this means we will be getting remakes of other older UCS sets! Fingers crossed for an Imperial shuttle or B wing UCS this time next year! 😂
I've watched several reviews of this now (and completed the build), and I think this was the best one. Nice job
I remember my build of the UCS Tie Fighter as one of the best - the way they attached those huge wings over the tiny centre, with no Technic parts. I was so impressed. This one's better visually but doesn't seem as well designed with the raised elements around the front and gaps.
I got this here in Oz mainly just to get the free droid carrier from Lego lol. I really do like this though but I tend to never get around to building UCS sets. I still need to build the A wing and X wing as well as the Land Speeder.
I do much prefer this price point of less than $400 Australian for UCS .
The huge $1000 Plus UCS sets look great but there is just nowhere to put them.
I am still just contemplating putting all the unopened ones in boxes and sell them in 10 to 20 years as a collectors item or something. The Stranger Things upside down set I have that I never opened keeps going up in value rather a lot too.
Great amazing big adult version of this UCS looks about 1/32 scale . LEGO seem to release upgraded UCS when first addition USC in original condition , unopened iterations start fetching 1200USD 1500USD on E bay . This looks better than the first UCS T I , that came out some years ago , just like the second Falcon was better and the second X wing was better but the 3rd X wing has received a lot of complaints about engineering being hard to assemble , stability issues accuracy including way oversized engine necelle's and pieces fall off as you try to build it and is reported to be very delicate and should not be moved once assembled. This new UCS looks like a winner .
'Straps'
I wonder, if they had instead re-oriented them 90degrees, such that the hatch and viewport were swapped relative to the strap banding. Would that look better?
might give it better radial symmetry when seen from the front.
What was the metagross cameo for? The strapes?
I hope Jang builds a custom stand on his twitch channel
Happy Star Wars Day !!!!!
I got it but my brother got it for me in the uk since there is no Lego store next to me, let alone getting the promos, so I won’t be able to build it till 3 months but most importantly I got it.
I was newer Star Wars fan but this LEGO set looks cool!
Does the minifig fit into the cockpit?
How does it look in there?
Is the fig way too small too look good?
Lego made an announcement that the plaque is now mat finish not shiny.
Hey Jang, just curious what sites or catalogues you use for viewing reference images of the original props?
Do you still have the old one? Would look incredible in side by side comparison :D
Truly awesome!❤🎉😮
Are you able to turn the model 90 degrees on the stand? Thanks for the review!
Wondering about that as well. It would probably have a tendency to fall over the nose. But maybe it would just hold (but put a strain on the parts)? And most of all, is it even mechanically possible to attach it in that orientation?
As awesome as it is.. its not a tie defender. To me seeing in the lego store... its just a fraction too small to represent ucs (the recent xwing about the same size didn't have this problem).. The price is acceptable even in aus though.
8:31 is the best moment in all of history!
Oh wow yeah the difference on how the straps looks quite better here
Pretty nice set. As a display model I also don't understand why it's not at a jauntier angle on the stand; maybe they didn't think of it for some reason, or maybe they couldn't make it work. I'm sure people will be using their own stands soon enough! Being able to see skin at the back of the minifig's head just seems plain wrong, though.
16:21 funny’s it looks smaller when you hold it. It’s bigger in person.
Was that metagross intentional? That caught me off guard. 😅
I haven’t had LEGO for so long- a lot of these techniques threw me for a loop. I was used to my bricks and plates clicking in place, this hinge will hold it kind of here for now isn’t my favorite. Also don’t love the gaps. But it looks cool- just hope it doesn’t get its butt kicked by gravity.
What happens at 8:31?
I'm guessing all you'd have to do to fit the minifig in there is remove a few ingots?
I can’t decide, please vote for my next set:
1) UCS AT-AT
2) UCS Falcon
3) Rivendell
For me this one just doesn’t have that “wow” factor. Obviously it’s better than the play scale one from last year, but not DRAMATICALLY better. I think part of it though is just my bias against larger-than-minifig-scale UCS sets.
As an owner of the old 7181 TIE-Interceptor i need to say that is a shame that the pilot dont fit into the Cockpit. The new set is nice....but why the pilot dont fit in?
What was that thing at 8:32???
I’ve always thought that the canonical size of the various TIE Fighters was way too large… seems like they would be somewhat smaller than the various Rebellion ships, designed to be more efficient and economical, and attack overwhelming waves, rather than be a force to reckon with on their own.
so, while it’s a nice looking build… I don’t think it would look nice on my shelf with my UCS Rebel ships, so don’t think I’ll be getting it 🤷🏻♂️
…I might like a new TIE Advanced, though 🤔
I want it so badly but it's just so expensive and I'm too broke lol
Do you keep all the sets from the reviews?🤔
I’m personally impressed by it, even those I doubt I’d get it. I’m not much of a UCS guy myself
Seems a shame you can't display it horizontally considering I'm fairly sure you can with my original from 25 years ago.
Cool model but just far too expensive for what it is. Same price as a 3000 piece modular building?😅
I actually think the price is more justified than the modular, because everyone knows star wars stuff is expensive and this is a collector display model
Metagross caught me completely off guard!
Definitely a buy
I'm still not a big fan of the, as you called them "straps" around the cockpit, but the angle of the stand makes it way worse than it looked when you were demonstrating the different angles.
The throwback-style UCS stands this year and last year were a mistake. Nose up is an extremely unflattering look for a Star Wars ship and while you can kinda modify the stand on the UCS X-Wing to get it at a side profile, it says something that the angle of the stand on this set is probably the core aesthetic reason I have no interest in buying this set of my favorite variant of TIE Fighter.
I guess the angle is supposed to represent launching out of the hangar?
The more I see this set, the more I like it. 👍
Jumpscare @ 8:30
METAGROSS
Those aren't solar panels. They are there to radiate out the cumulative heat produced and exerted by the spacecraft's machinery.
They indeed officially, canonically solar panels, and always have been since original inception.
@@JANGsLEGOreviews
Huh?! 0_0
Not loving the stand either, hopefully it will fit on the UCS Tie fighter stand
😊
Metagross??
Looks bigger than Minifigure scale
Great, am a more accurate improvement. The canopy is too small.
haha now i cant unsee that it looks like metagross
