I like this set, also well shot review as always! I think the colour of this set really pops and I'm surprised how good this set looks in-person. I do wish the Luke figure had some exclusivity about it though.
UCS sets already get a large budget for totes for new elements and colours and prints. A entire Sticker sheet becoming prints adds to that budget really fast every as single sticker is one less tote in the warehouse while that set is on shelves. If this set had prints its storage budget would easilly triple meaning less sets overall.
@@twinsuns957 how is mandr collecting lego for the money? I highly doubt it but want to hear your reasoning. Also im not a fanboy, but i dont think hes a whiny brat, i think hes just annoyed at lego for not producing things to the best of their ability, especially when they ask people through polls, and then completely by pass it, anyways your opinion?
@@SnipR9 I am an MandR fan, and think he's a whiny brat. So many of his videos come across like because he has a social media following he is entitled to have Lego produce the things he wants. I get that he's passionate about his collecting, but Lego doesn't owe him anything. That being said, I do love MandR's reviews, especially when he compares a set through the years to see how design philosophy has changed for one version of the same in-universe object to each subsequent version.
@@Gzilla313 I totally agree, i do remember his whiny aspects now as per the gunship videos and anything to do with clone troopers and the prequels sets… but yeah thanks🙏
@@SnipR9 NGL kinda jealous of Ryan though. He travels the country, is preparing to buy a house, and has disposable income for a hobby all from complaining about Lego on RUclips. I mean, good for him.
@@twinsuns957 you do realise that MandR is not part of the Lego Ambassador network, so is able to say what he really thinks about a set without fear of reprisals, whereas creators who are part of LAN can’t do this? If you don’t like MandR’s tone then that’s fair enough but don’t pretend that creators who are part of LAN always say what they want.
I think with the AotC anniversary this year, and RotS anniversary in 3 years, we’ll hopefully see some more prequels sets in the coming years, so they might just wanna get this set out of the way
@@100Creed firstly for your comment it needs to be succeed. Secondly no matter what you personally feel about and I’m going to guess here as mini figure selection doesn’t change sales which is what Lego is in the business for. So if it’s sold a lot they’ll do more, if it hasn’t then then they won’t.
Hope so too but then again with AotC anniversary this year this was the time to release something like that and not next year. Then again no complaining if they release a Venator next year 🥹
Controversial opinion: I really really like this set! When it was leaked several months ago it was kinda unexciting but I think Lego did a great job with this one. Love the color scheme and the way it is displayed. Thanks for this great review!
I wonder if LEGO could be trying to get more price diversity in the UCS line. People may have had sticker shock from the AT-AT so they might be trying to make sets that could be for people who want to get into UCS but don't want to, or can't, spend upwards of $800. Would love to see an UCS ARC-170 though.
I am just now getting back into the UCS sets and this is gonna be my first one I grab for my may the 4th promo this year , my first playset was this as a kid so I am really excited to get this and the GWP this year which seems to be a remake of a set I has as a kid
Wow, as a kid who saw the original trilogy in theaters, this set really appeals to me. That vehicle captured our imaginations back then. This kit looks amazing completed! Thanks for your reviews.
In my early 40s and got back into LEGO at beginning of lockdown. This is my first UCS set I’ve bought after buying many of the cheaper Star Wars sets and in particular 18+ sets and so excited by it ☺️
Its really nice to see you speak your mind and side with the online community, what feels like for the first time. I'm very understanding of the fact that its hard with LAN, and as someone who absolutely loves this UCS Landspeeder, It just wasnt the time. Yes the UCS landspeeder was well overdue, but right now we still have **SO** many missing ships from the prequels, as well as ships that are more relevant from newer media. (Razorcrest [rumored, I know], A remake of the Slave one, and Updated X-Wing, Mando's N-1, The Bad Batch Shuttle, and ofc anything from the clone wars/prequels)
I started collecting UCS sets myself recently. Scored a used Slave 1 and just (yikes) bought the falcon. Gotta wait for the At-At and Destroyer. This set is a must have for me….love the OT. The other movies don’t interest me so hopefully there is only so many vehicles left to buy lol.
Really pay attention when building the AT-AT. Had to take apart the front left and rear right leg because of one small error at the very beginning of each. 😅 but it looks beautiful. Also, mind the head. One bump and the sides wanna pop off.
Got it today and while my expectations were low for this I was actually quite pleased with it. The build is enjoyable and quite sturdy. The color scheme definitely helps it stand out too. I'm not sure if this would have been high up on my ships to Ucs list but I'm very happy with this anyways.
Good and fair review. As an older Lego collector who saw the original Star Wars in the cinema back in 1977, this set is a definite purchase for me. As usual, it's disappointing to see no printed parts on a premium set, and it would have been good to see some discrete removable wheels for a bit of added play value (although that'll be an easy mod). I'll pick it up while the bonus build is on offer.
They’ve done AT-ST, AT-AT, Millennium Falcon (twice), B-Wing, X-Wing (twice), Slave I, Snow Speeder (twice), Tantive IV, Star Destroyer (twice), Super Star Destroyer, Death Star, Death Star II, Y-Wing (twice), TIE, TIE Advanced, TIE Interceptor, Imperial Shuttle, Naboo Fighter, Jedi Starfighter, A-Wing, Sandcrawler, Republic Gunship, and now Landspeeder. Plus a bunch of other things, like droids and busts. And some sets not labeled as UCS but in a unilateral scale and level of detail, like the CCBS scout trooper & speeder bike, and the technic Hailfire Droid. I honestly have trouble coming up with other things that would work at a UCS scale. I mean, I’d love a Mon Calamari cruiser or Nebulon B frigate, but both are really curvy and lumpy and a difficult Lego build. Likewise, the smooth curves and (lack of) chrome finish would probably make a UCS Naboo Starship pretty disappointing. And once you get outside of the movies, I feel like the number of buyers drops down significantly. But maybe I’m wrong-it’s not like I have their sales numbers or anything.
As someone who was born when A new hope came out, I saw it as a kid and loved it. I will get this set as I've only recently started collecting lego, so I've missed out on all the play scale land speeders.
A UCS invisible hand with custom new count dooku,chancellor palpatine, magna guards, general grievous, robed/caped anakin and obi one would be awesome.
I'm glad we finally got one because it's a fantastic build *and* opens up a slot for a different UCS set in the future. No more worrying when they'll do Luke's Landspeeder.
I actually really like this UCS and am saving up for it. Its sleek, colorful, and its from A New Hope which is maybe my favorite Star Wars film. And if anyone from Lego sees this... a Nebulon B Frigate would look very nice on display...
You mentioned its the best c3po we've ever gotten. I have to say the polybag one from a couple years bag had all the same printing, mostly, however it didnt have the dual molded leg. I stand by that that c3po is one of the best out there.
While I’m ok with this set and it does look cool, I genuinely think that the LEGO designers can’t tell sarcasm and just thought all those memes were actually requesting this
I think it looks fantastic and I’m excited to build it. (Those colors! 🥵) Yes, I want prequel or sequel UCS sets but that doesn’t negate the fact this set is well done. 🙌🏻
I"m 52 yrs old. My wife just got me this set and the R2D2 set for Christmas. Let me just say I absolutpy.love it. It takes me back to the first time seeing Episode 4. So from an older collector, this has a nostaligic feel for me.
Nice review David! Didn't really like the set it at first, but it is really growing on me a lot! I'm hoping we'll get a UCS Venator for the 20th anniversary of AOTC.
This is my first Star Wars set and I picked it up on May 1st after seeing it in the Lego store, it really does look amazing and the build is right up my street, bricks and plates as opposed to endless technic pins and connectors. It’s also absolutely rock solid feeling. I might just have got the bug as I also just went and got the UCS millennium falcon. 🤭
Brushstroke Feel like I’m at the top of a very slippery slope 😂😂 Id quite like to get the Imperial star destroyer before it retires this year but I can’t really justify another £600 now, so will see if any new UCS sets come out this year. Also want to get the creator expert Camaro that’s due out.
I went to my Lego store in Southampton UK on May 1st and the queue was massive and I'd argue half the people in the queue in front or behind me had a Luke's Landspeeder. The rest had at least one diaroma set. Me I had the light cruiser and dark trooper attack. I know on youtube there has been a lot of puzzlement/criticism regarding it's release and that nobody asked for it. Actually I think there is a place where it was asked for and that was in the Lego product survey website. I think this was a set requested by the "silent majority" and probably in my age range too, I am 50 years old and saw Star Wars in the 70's in the cinema when I was 7. Luke's Landspeeder is iconic it's like your first car too. So on May 4th I returned to the Lego store and bought my first UCS set ever.
UCS suggestions.. Nebulon b frigate Venator Death Star II remake Super star destroyer remake AT-TE w/ dropship Hammerhead frigate Just to name a few. And definitely get rid of stickers especially for UCS sets.
This was my first LEGO UCS set. I was so satisfied at the end, but after realizing there were so many other sets that were better, I just felt so depressed. Still, it's absolutely gorgeous when its your first UCS set.
I saw ANH back in the theater in 1977, so after that intro, I feel like a bit of a dinosaur :). After watching this review, I must admit I am sort of sold on this, just seeing a real hands on look helped me get a better idea of what to expect. Agreed that it would be cool to get a few Prequel UCS sets also, but this set seems decent to me. It is nice as well to get a UCS set that doesn't blow out your bank account, and that you might actually have shelf space to display it.
Yep, Seeing the original back in 77 was so very cool. I bought the UCS star destroyer a few months ago. Just for the fact that is what got me hooked in the opening scene of the movie. Yes it is expensive, but it is cool to look at and it takes up lots of room. The speeder will be much easier to display
Honestly not sure why anyone's surprised; this was the most iconic Star Wars vehicle that didn't have a UCS set until just now. I'm honestly surprised they took so long before making this one.
Would love to see UCS slave 1 again, partly because I missed the first one, but it would also be good to get one with the improved red/brown colour bricks.
Lol I love how you said “It’s very swooshable” 😂😂 i like the landspeeder I think it’s cool but I do wish they would make some more exciting looking sets though 😂
Everyone thinks it makes sense to be in a UCS version. Everyone things it looks good. People just don’t like how it was chosen to come out on this year instead of an AOTC set since it’s the 20th anniversary. If they put it out next year people would of loved it fully.
Having an original colour scheme is a big part of the appeal for me. A break from all grey/white as you said. Other OT possibilities? Red cloud car? Maybe a UCS set of Cloud City itself could have good creative potential? Scale it smaller than the Death Star. Larger than Architecture line, but use the clever techniques for details that they often do. I'm wondering what people's top choice for a colourful or rare coloured prequel UCS set would be? I have so many grey pieces already! I got the Landrover Defender in large part for the rare green. I'm sort of in between the OT and PT eras and I feel like this is cool in part because of that nostalgia. It's part of the very first intro to start wars for so many, and you see it a lot in the making of documentaries and extras on the various tapes and disc releases over the years. Might spring for it.... The kitchen is pretty neat.
I gotta say the Luke Skywalker UCS landspeeder is looking pretty cool. That’s mostly because I love graphic design and I think they nailed it with this one, just cause it looks like the movie version. But over all. I like this one.
Not the most exciting set ever but very, very well done. Do I wish it was a Jedi interceptor or something like a venator yeah but still cool to see how far Lego Star Wars has come.
It WAS the first private vehicle shown in the first movie, if i remember right, its been a min since i saw it. And yes, i saw STAR WARS in theaters when originally released.
I like this set and I have ordered it, Although its a Star Wars set, I actually see it more as an iconic movie vehicle to sit on a shelf with the DeLorean, Batmobile, Ecto 1 etc as the sci fi parking lot rather than displaying it with other Star Wars vehicles
I'm definitely an older LEGO SW fan. I hate social media. I saw the original trilogy in the theaters (I saw Episode IV more than 20 times). I bought the first LEGO SW sets when they were released in 1999 and I've bought every set since. The landspeeder is not as exciting as some ships, but it's long overdue. I've been excited since Aaron Fiskum's Ideas model received 10,000 votes in 2017. The LEGO model is not as good, but it's very nice and it's also not a $350, $500 or $800 set. The $200 price-point is pretty close to perfect. I'm excited to get my copy (or two).
Hey Lego, if you’re watching here’s a list of UCS sets I’m sure everyone would appreciate (in no particular order) 1) UCS clone turbo tank 2) UCS MTT 3) UCS AT-TE 4) UCS Venator 5) UCS arc-170 Starfighter 6) MBS mustifar 7) MBS dexters diner, Geonosis area. That’s just a few
I want any prequel set. Just please have Lego not be stupid and say minifigures don’t matter. Do a good prequel set with good mini Gifu res and everyone would love it.
I'm really interested in the land speeder it looks really cool and I'm only 22 not an really old dude that grew up around this lol Lego did a good job 👏 I would also look for forward too more sequel builds like from other movies. Like the U-wing from Rogue one or even Han Solo's movie!
I'm of that generation that saw New Hope the year it came out and that Christmas I got Keener Landspeeder toy. Play with for years so this Lego set holds meaning for me. I get why they made it, but I'm more sets from the other movies will happen more often going forward.
I like it because it's not the $800 or even $350 price point, I like all the May the 4th bonuses, I like the C-3PO and the windscreen, It's not a bad choice for a classic Star Wars set or a first time UCS buy, and most importantly it's very reminiscent of my dad's original Landspeeder toy
Hey. So I get everything you’re saying about prequel and sequel sets and I’m not part of the online fan base. With that said, a UCS Landspeeder was SO overdue. It had to be made at some point given how many play sets they had made. So I like it and already purchased it. It looks great. Just my w/o cents worth.
the Lego co. does not give a damn about what consumers want, we want clones wars stuff, captain rex, jessie, fives, iconic characters and scenes.....all we get instead is another luke's land speeder and tie fighter. Also Lego said they don't want "exclusive minifigures" in expensive sets, so that c-3po should in theory pop up again.
Idk why Lego fans keep joking about how this set shouldn't exist. I've always said the landspeeder is my favorite vehicle in all of Star Wars. If I could take home one vehicle from the whole saga, it would be the one I can comfortably drive to work and actually park in my driveway. It's practical.
I personally thought the set was kinda lame at first, but then I got it and I actually really like it. For me its kind of reminiscent of the big model cars I used to play with as a kid. It's just a cool looking hotrod.
tbf it would never be a prequel set this year, I think that's how it should be and Luke land's speeder is a classic next year though, there should be a prequel ucs set again
I think a USC Slave 1 remake was the best set they could have made for May the 4th. It's been highly desired since Boba Fett returned in the Mandalorian, and now coming off of The Book of Boba Fett, really seemed like a no-brainer to me.
I’ve just secured this brand new in box for £125! I’m not too hyped with the set but for that price, it’s worth it. Wish they would’ve added r2 and Ben kenobi tho
I want the next UCS set to be an Obi wan and animal Jedi Star-fighter! It could be a $200 duo UCS set! That is my dream UCS set, I would love to see it happen designers!
LEGO if you’re reading I would do anything for a UCS Anakin’s Jedi Interceptor from Revenge of the Sith! Would be my dream set especially if it included an exclusive Anakin minifig with arm and leg printing!
I would like to see a Han Solo Blaster or Chewbacca Bowcaster in UCS full scale. They could later make a Stromtrooper blaster and Rebel trooper one as well.
As someone who did see the original in the movie theaters back in the 70s I like this set. Is it worth 200 No but prices seem to be going up on everything. There’s no compartments there’s no hidden functions and you only get two of the Minifigs, they should’ve included a Obi-Wan and an R2. I’m ordering mine on the 1st but as always Lego, value, perceived value can’t be stressed enough.
If people are complaining about the landspeeder instead of a prequel set just remember that now that is out of the way it's more lightly to be prequel sets in the future and some of us love the original trilogy and the prequels 🙂 and I also agree no stickers on UCS ! Come on Lego !
Imagine a ucs naboo royal starship. Doubt it'd ever happen, but imagine.
That’d be cool, but I’d more sooner like a redone N-1 starfighter, with exclusive true chrome pieces just for it!
Yesssssss!
Dude having all the parts in chrome silver would be fucking glorious.
Um, no. The prequels were trash, and that's not even the most interesting vehicle from the prequels.
@@troodon1096 don’t spoil our fun!

100% should be printed, but I see why they don't do that.
I think they shouldn't be printed because if you're buying a huge amount of parts I would want to be able to use multiple for custom builds
I agree. If the modular sets can go stickerless, then so can UCS sets.
Your intro to the set was very level and reasonable, unlike certain other Lego Star Wars RUclipsrs. This is why I like your reviews

Got to say it’s not an exciting set but looks so well done and such an iconic part of Star Wars that it’s on my list for Sunday.
I think with the AotC anniversary this year, and RotS anniversary in 3 years, we’ll hopefully see some more prequels sets in the coming years, so they might just wanna get this set out of the way
We better!!!
I’d say if probably takes them a few years to design and get a ucs set to market so most likely Lego will do more based on the success of the gunship.

@@chrisjeffers2861 oh never heard of it being called that lol

$200 for a speeder just seems excessive to me. Just not all that unique or new. Color me unimpressed me the set itself and the price point.
i don't understand the complaints, love this set personally.
I’m actually really happy this set came out Luke’s speeder is just so iconic I think it definitely deserved a usc set

Well Episode 4 it’s on the 45th anniversary. But I do wish for more prequel sets.

the stand for this UCS is so modern and sleek. i think its the best part of the set, not too angular, minimalist and professional

I think this was a set requested by the "silent majority" and probably in my age range too, I am 50 years old and saw Star Wars in the 70's in the cinema when I was 7. Luke's Landspeeder is iconic it's like your first car too. So on May 4th I returned to the Lego store and bought my first UCS set ever.
Just grabbed one for 145 and I'm pretty excited to build it. My 1st ucs and biggest set I've done yet.
UCS suggestions..
Nebulon b frigate
Venator
Death Star II remake
Super star destroyer remake
AT-TE w/ dropship
Hammerhead frigate
Just to name a few.
And definitely get rid of stickers especially for UCS sets.
I'm with you, the colors alone have me excited to buy this. Looks very eye pleasing.
Would like to see a Republic Cruiser, AT-TE, Obi-Wan/Anakin/Yoda star fighter in UCS in the future. The Pre-Quals don’t get enough love.
I honestly I think it looks really good!
Definitely a day one pick up for me!
This was my first LEGO UCS set. I was so satisfied at the end, but after realizing there were so many other sets that were better, I just felt so depressed. Still, it's absolutely gorgeous when its your first UCS set.
I saw ANH back in the theater in 1977, so after that intro, I feel like a bit of a dinosaur :). After watching this review, I must admit I am sort of sold on this, just seeing a real hands on look helped me get a better idea of what to expect. Agreed that it would be cool to get a few Prequel UCS sets also, but this set seems decent to me. It is nice as well to get a UCS set that doesn't blow out your bank account, and that you might actually have shelf space to display it.
Yep, Seeing the original back in 77 was so very cool. I bought the UCS star destroyer a few months ago. Just for the fact that is what got me hooked in the opening scene of the movie. Yes it is expensive, but it is cool to look at and it takes up lots of room. The speeder will be much easier to display
Honestly not sure why anyone's surprised; this was the most iconic Star Wars vehicle that didn't have a UCS set until just now. I'm honestly surprised they took so long before making this one.
Would love to see UCS slave 1 again, partly because I missed the first one, but it would also be good to get one with the improved red/brown colour bricks.
I’d rather see jango fetts slave one, since we already have a perfect looking ucs boba fett slave one.
@@BeatsbyYuka yeah either or, I’m not fussed
I’m liking the look of the new room
It’s about time we got it in UCS form we all called it last year
You made some really good points in this review
it looks amazing
but i did not have enough special screen time
so it's not that important to have for me
not enough money and space.....
Lol I love how you said “It’s very swooshable” 😂😂 i like the landspeeder I think it’s cool but I do wish they would make some more exciting looking sets though 😂
I don’t really get the negativity for this set.
It’s an pretty iconic vehicle in the series and it makes sense to have a ucs version.
Everyone thinks it makes sense to be in a UCS version. Everyone things it looks good. People just don’t like how it was chosen to come out on this year instead of an AOTC set since it’s the 20th anniversary. If they put it out next year people would of loved it fully.
@@xxxtraheatxx7514 didums 🤷
Oh its beautiful!
Having an original colour scheme is a big part of the appeal for me. A break from all grey/white as you said. Other OT possibilities? Red cloud car? Maybe a UCS set of Cloud City itself could have good creative potential? Scale it smaller than the Death Star. Larger than Architecture line, but use the clever techniques for details that they often do.
I'm wondering what people's top choice for a colourful or rare coloured prequel UCS set would be? I have so many grey pieces already! I got the Landrover Defender in large part for the rare green.
I'm sort of in between the OT and PT eras and I feel like this is cool in part because of that nostalgia. It's part of the very first intro to start wars for so many, and you see it a lot in the making of documentaries and extras on the various tapes and disc releases over the years.
Might spring for it.... The kitchen is pretty neat.
I gotta say the Luke Skywalker UCS landspeeder is looking pretty cool. That’s mostly because I love graphic design and I think they nailed it with this one, just cause it looks like the movie version.
But over all. I like this one.
Not the most exciting set ever but very, very well done. Do I wish it was a Jedi interceptor or something like a venator yeah but still cool to see how far Lego Star Wars has come.
It's a great looking set. Not my choice for a UCS set but I can see why this would appeal to a lot of people.
It WAS the first private vehicle shown in the first movie, if i remember right, its been a min since i saw it. And yes, i saw STAR WARS in theaters when originally released.
I love the set! Can’t wait to get it! 😁
Love the new room, will we get a new Serie of Lego room.
I like this set and I have ordered it, Although its a Star Wars set, I actually see it more as an iconic movie vehicle to sit on a shelf with the DeLorean, Batmobile, Ecto 1 etc as the sci fi parking lot rather than displaying it with other Star Wars vehicles
It is a pleasing set to look at. I just wasn’t expecting it to be a vehicle that would be made into a UCS set.
I'm definitely an older LEGO SW fan. I hate social media. I saw the original trilogy in the theaters (I saw Episode IV more than 20 times). I bought the first LEGO SW sets when they were released in 1999 and I've bought every set since. The landspeeder is not as exciting as some ships, but it's long overdue. I've been excited since Aaron Fiskum's Ideas model received 10,000 votes in 2017. The LEGO model is not as good, but it's very nice and it's also not a $350, $500 or $800 set. The $200 price-point is pretty close to perfect. I'm excited to get my copy (or two).
Hey Lego, if you’re watching here’s a list of UCS sets I’m sure everyone would appreciate (in no particular order)
1) UCS clone turbo tank
2) UCS MTT
3) UCS AT-TE
4) UCS Venator
5) UCS arc-170 Starfighter
6) MBS mustifar
7) MBS dexters diner, Geonosis area.
That’s just a few
I want any prequel set. Just please have Lego not be stupid and say minifigures don’t matter. Do a good prequel set with good mini Gifu res and everyone would love it.
A UCS Anakins pod racer from phantom menace would be AMAZING
I'm really interested in the land speeder it looks really cool and I'm only 22 not an really old dude that grew up around this lol Lego did a good job 👏
I would also look for forward too more sequel builds like from other movies. Like the U-wing from Rogue one or even Han Solo's movie!
Thanks for acknowledging that we all want pre-qual sets haha😄
I'm of that generation that saw New Hope the year it came out and that Christmas I got Keener Landspeeder toy. Play with for years so this Lego set holds meaning for me. I get why they made it, but I'm more sets from the other movies will happen more often going forward.
I like it because it's not the $800 or even $350 price point, I like all the May the 4th bonuses, I like the C-3PO and the windscreen, It's not a bad choice for a classic Star Wars set or a first time UCS buy, and most importantly it's very reminiscent of my dad's original Landspeeder toy
Hey. So I get everything you’re saying about prequel and sequel sets and I’m not part of the online fan base. With that said, a UCS Landspeeder was SO overdue. It had to be made at some point given how many play sets they had made. So I like it and already purchased it. It looks great. Just my w/o cents worth.
I actually really like this set. It’s growing on me significantly
the Lego co. does not give a damn about what consumers want, we want clones wars stuff, captain rex, jessie, fives, iconic characters and scenes.....all we get instead is another luke's land speeder and tie fighter. Also Lego said they don't want "exclusive minifigures" in expensive sets, so that c-3po should in theory pop up again.
UCS Slave 1 with Jango coloring would be awesome
"SWOOSH [... ] SWOOSHABLE" - David Hall from Solid Brix Studios, 27. April 2022
Can't wait to see the new lego room
Idk why Lego fans keep joking about how this set shouldn't exist. I've always said the landspeeder is my favorite vehicle in all of Star Wars. If I could take home one vehicle from the whole saga, it would be the one I can comfortably drive to work and actually park in my driveway. It's practical.
I personally thought the set was kinda lame at first, but then I got it and I actually really like it. For me its kind of reminiscent of the big model cars I used to play with as a kid. It's just a cool looking hotrod.
I think this set needed to happen eventually but that being said we really need more Prequel and Sequel UCS sets.
tbf it would never be a prequel set this year, I think that's how it should be and Luke land's speeder is a classic
next year though, there should be a prequel ucs set again
I think a USC Slave 1 remake was the best set they could have made for May the 4th. It's been highly desired since Boba Fett returned in the Mandalorian, and now coming off of The Book of Boba Fett, really seemed like a no-brainer to me.
way to early tho. UCS Slave 1 is alost perfect so no reason to remake it.
No we need a Jango slave one first not smother boba 🤦♂️
I’ve just secured this brand new in box for £125!
I’m not too hyped with the set but for that price, it’s worth it. Wish they would’ve added r2 and Ben kenobi tho
Your not going to believe this but the 3po fig doubles as the pilot because he has yellow marking 😳
Nah
I mean yeah it's cool, but cmon we all want a UCS razor crest
No we all don't. Why bother they blew it up. The current version is good enough.
Your always ahead of the game ayy
It looks good for what it is but i think i'd paint it British racing green. I do like that it has a proper moulded steering wheel.
I want the next UCS set to be an Obi wan and animal Jedi Star-fighter! It could be a $200 duo UCS set! That is my dream UCS set, I would love to see it happen designers!
LEGO if you’re reading I would do anything for a UCS Anakin’s Jedi Interceptor from Revenge of the Sith! Would be my dream set especially if it included an exclusive Anakin minifig with arm and leg printing!
I was actually unironically hoping for this as a UCS set
Great video! 👍
This set needs magnets in the base and matching magnets in the bottom of the speeder so it floats!!
“So what I told you was true, from a certain point of view. -Obi-Wan Kenobi” -David
Buying this set is better than paying three times for retired UCS sets 😅🤭🤣
I would like to see a Han Solo Blaster or Chewbacca Bowcaster in UCS full scale. They could later make a Stromtrooper blaster and Rebel trooper one as well.
As someone who did see the original in the movie theaters back in the 70s I like this set. Is it worth 200 No but prices seem to be going up on everything. There’s no compartments there’s no hidden functions and you only get two of the Minifigs, they should’ve included a Obi-Wan and an R2. I’m ordering mine on the 1st but as always Lego, value, perceived value can’t be stressed enough.
It would be really cool if you did time lapse builds in your videos. I love seeing the builds come out and be put together
If people are complaining about the landspeeder instead of a prequel set just remember that now that is out of the way it's more lightly to be prequel sets in the future and some of us love the original trilogy and the prequels 🙂 and I also agree no stickers on UCS ! Come on Lego !
I’d really love to see a UCS Naboo royal starship more than anything!
