@@CollinLego I agree. I watch MandR because I think he is honest. I’ve also seen him flame some Republic Bricks sets and quality control in the past.

@@Noviinha well yes. That part is obvious. My question is why would he want to give time to a company that seems to have disappointed so many. MandR doesn’t need RB’s money surely.

It’s a great build. Very nice. Having said that, be careful ordering from them. The free gifts are free for a reason. The blind bags are designed to rip you off and they will not give you your money back.
Release a JFK's Assassination set. It'd be such a great set too. You'd get the car with JFK and his wife along with the driver, the Secret Service agent who threw himself onto JFK after the shooting, and then a nice tower with Lee Harvey Oswald and his rifle. It'd be a legendary set.
@@shreddarcheese9809 idk much but I think he has high prices and scams people he also threatened to sue a kid for calling his giveaway fake or something
Now I wonder how it'd look with some of the new reddish-orange mixed into the lava. In any case, I know you like to leave builds unaltered but... I'd still recommend adding some black slopes to the high ground as an exception. It's such a great build, it's just missing that wee bit.
Republic bricks is an awful third party seller with terrible customer service and scam mystery boxes. However, this is a cool custom set design and the designer deserves a lot of credit
Nice but I think that for most of us in the community, Moc sets are just too expensive. Even if official sets have trash design sometimes, I would still buy them, the quality is just more stable. I would also buy MOC sets sometimes, but their products' quality kinda just base on price.
I think that the lava looks a little like the starry night lego background. great looking set and definitely the best value of any republic bricks set.
Wow, really incredible to still see you making videos. No shot you'd remember me but we used to talk occasionally back when we were like 11 years old making lego videos in our bedrooms on the carpet floors. I remember you had started this channel with your brother and it slowly became yours more and more. It is a wonderful thing seeing you, and someone who's still a dear friend to this day, Ross, doing this thing. Never lose this shit man, it warms my heart to be able to come back around and see that part of my own past live on through you. Incredible quality video man, you're doing that thing 🙏
@@MandRproductionsimo, modern look better (2020s > 2010s > OG), but the double helmet 'warts,' as you call them, should be fixed. Do you consider the new design ( *before* the helmet holes) better or worse than the ~2010s and OG P2 helmets?
I love this and I don’t think I could do much better at designing my own, but I could make it a lot bigger if it was for myself. Great job and very impressive! For the number of bricks you get I don’t think the cost is unreasonable, well done!
Really like the concept of this tbh I’m a sucker for any duel on mustafar set. Really love some of the techniques and the way the designers capture the flowing lava as well as the lava coming down
This looks amazing but I do agree that it was a missed opportunity to not have a section a little bit more raised up for Obi-Wan to stand on for the "I have the high ground" scene. Also, I wish for the money they included all new bricks.
Hello there! And I agree; I hope they do this in the future. They could do a full battle diorama like this, or maybe do two small sets: one with the buildings and one with the platforms and high ground.
Finally! I saw this sitting on a table a few videos back, and was wondering when you were going to make a video on it! Great review as always! Keep up the great work!
I went onto Republic bricks and almost made an order but thourhgt to check reviews first.... I'm glad I did, they have been disabled on trust pilot for buying reviews.
One thing that bugs me about the lava is that there are lines where the sections end which makes sense from a build perspective but the just look funny. However there might be a way to remedy this problem. I noticed that for a lot of the layers, the termination lines split a solid color, meaning that there are a lot of instances where both sides of the termination lines are the same color. I also noticed that a lot of these pieces are different length plates so if you had the patience to swap the pieces, you could create one continuous lava flow just by rearranging the bricks provided.
This looks amazing! At 250 dollars it seems like a fair deal, compared to the $100 Lego ones. But the full price of 550? Not as good. And Anakin's winning the battle this time cause there's no high ground.😕 But that lava, though!!! 💯👍👍 The whole model is beautiful!
Solid review. Only thing I wish you mentioned for the viewers is you can take off the roof of the ‘control room’ and they can actually stand on the table to duel. Like this comment so others can see!
I really hope lego will make a master builder series set of a mustafar dyarama in cluding a high ground recreation since none of the play sets have that.
Personally ordered from him 3 times and never really had an issue. I absolutely loved the ARC170 V2, made slight adjustments by making the wings shorter though but the design is still great nonetheless. The Vulture droid is also great and the UT-AT was perfect. No missing pieces other than a 4x2 wedge having an extra left piece and a missing right piece. Shipping was a tad long which did make me wonder if I was ever getting the sets lol.
Don't buy this, RepublicBricks is a known "scammer" in the LEGO community. Please watch a couple reviews of his stuff, there's next to nothing positive to say about him.
This is absolutely amazing! $250 for a custom set of this quality and that piece count is incredible. Once I save up enough money for that, I’d definitely be interested in getting it for myself. It would make a fine addition to my collection
I seldom praise these things, but that lava build looks really dope. LEGO would never bother delivering something that looks as good. They'd probably go with trans tiles.

@MasterHeracross go to his subreddit to read the stories of people he hasn't given promotion material to.
Nice looking set. The biggest drawback is that it’s Republic Bricks. Search and read non-sponsored reviews before making a decision.
He’s been pretty honest in his previous republic brick videos, but good point.
Why does he need to give Republic Bricks so much exposure?

I was scammed
Blind bags are always designed to rip you off republic bricks or otherwise..
Really nice but some parts make me worry about stability. I hope Lego makes a new bigger one soon.
Stability is more than good enough for a custom shelf display set. I've had way worse from RB.
Don’t worry, they won’t. )They meaning Lego won’t make one)
You could always add some clear transparent pieces to support the beam over the lava.
it's lore accurate bro stop complaining
Even Lego don-t offer stability warranty. There are always sets around that suffer stability as an example.
Lego will never...

Hi!!
Actually I think that Ryan would be fine with altering it as it is a custom set and not an official one.
Agreed, just sabotage your kid sisters new friends mansion whilst explaining to her that the force is in all things..
Republic bricks is an awful third party seller with terrible customer service and scam mystery boxes. However, this is a cool custom set design and the designer deserves a lot of credit
The lava looks gorgeous. Hope lego makes something like this in the future.
Yeah unfortunately Republic bricks ripped off the lava idea from Hachiroku24. He already did this a while back
@@codystephenson3774 oof that sucks. He should’ve just given the credit
Nice but I think that for most of us in the community, Moc sets are just too expensive. Even if official sets have trash design sometimes, I would still buy them, the quality is just more stable. I would also buy MOC sets sometimes, but their products' quality kinda just base on price.
I never thought about this scene for a ucs set but this gets me on board.
Super cool build. Looks like the same SNOT approach to the lava as Lego used for the Van Gogh set.
I got so excited when I saw this on IG today and didn’t think you’d review it much less so soon! Looks amazing IMO
That’s awesome!!! Very well built to represent the scene.
This is so awesome. I'm putting this on a wish list for sure and eventually getting it once I start building my LEGO collection.
I actually thought Ryan actually built MOC for the first time in his life 😅

Hachirokiu used this technique for his mustafar moc a while back.
@@Natedog-gx3nj ohh okay

I have high hopes that next year we will see a $80-100 diorama of this duel since it's definitely the most iconic prequel scene
Pulling out the classic shock troopers very nice
Better looking than modern :)
Helmet holes?

@@Seanboi_12 not on lease pre clone wars even just the correct helmet warts
The lava is pretty sick but I’m still recovering financially from the ucs ventator 😭
Why are you not reviewing any brickvault models? They make so much better models imo.
I think a perfect quote for a battle on Mustafar display would be Obi-Wan saying, "You were my brother Anakin, I loved you"!
You should be a writer
If only it wasn't being sold by Timmy and his terrible sham of a company he's got going over there.
The base and most of the rockwork is amazing.
That genuinely is an amazing build well done by the designer!
I thought the downside would be that obi wan doesn't have the high ground! 😂
They should’ve added a Micro Anakin Fighter to put on the landing platform. Or padme’s ship.
I love this and I don’t think I could do much better at designing my own, but I could make it a lot bigger if it was for myself. Great job and very impressive! For the number of bricks you get I don’t think the cost is unreasonable, well done!
thanks for the OG shock troopers😍 they always have the same nostalgic effect on me being from my first lego set
Looked like Anakin had the tables high ground for a second there😏😳😜
Had to get that daily upload out congrats on the grind
This actually looks insane.
Lego should just release this, no questions asked imo
This looks amazing. i hope lego does something like this in the future

Never ceases to amaze me the creativity of the MOC community. Unreal.
I really like the shield control tower.
You should see what this set looks like connected with vaders castle !
When he says you can add in the shock troopers from the gunship set from this year and uses the OG shock troopers, my man!!
