Spoke to a local Bricks and Minifigs store owner the other day. He said the set is a Lego and Walmart exclusive. If that's the case, it may be like the Republic Fighter Tank (Lego and Target exclusive), not see many discounts.
Literally my biggest issue with the set, the no pupils I dig it, but there is not a single frame on the whole scene this set represents where Maul doesn't has his hood on. Like I honestly would want this set but I don't have any spare black cape or a single hood to have it as optimal as possible :/
US$70 sets are normally ~AU$120, which is about in line with the conversion rate, but this set is only AU$90, which is baffling considering the US$50 Tantive hallway set is also AU$90. This one is a pretty great deal over here, will definitely be picking it up for May 4th. Joins the list of whacky Australian prices for LEGO Star Wars sets since March.
I'll probably end up getting it since i don't have one. But man it's so upsetting of what could've been. First all the details you mentioned and more. But also the opportunity to make the queens royal ship with maul, his speeder,quigon, anakin and obiwan and recreating the attack scene
the ship itself is a masterpiece with all the techniques and its a accurate shape, figs are nice too (although padme or watto wouldve been nice) so i think the set isnt that horrible or overpriced
I love that hidden spring loaded. Also, it’s interesting that with that front bump. It looks very similar to a greyed out republic command ship/empire capital ship
They have packed a huge amount of play features into this. A lot of smart choices on the design to get so many functions into a small build. Reminds of what they did with the design of the 75311 Imperial Armored Marauder
I think the set's fine. The only thing I would change is probably that section for the storage, and adding in maybe Obi-Wan or someone else like Panaka. I'l definitely be sticking with the 2021 Darth Maul figure I have just in regards to the head (I swapped it with the 2017 Maul's head as I have an extra). The Saw Gerrera figure looks awesome, and it's so nice seeing a brand-new figure based off of *_Rogue One_* after all these years.
I am definitely buying this set because of the qui gon Jin and saw gerrera and I will buy the Visual dictionary for the Exclusive twenty fifth anniversary 2007 darth maul
I like the shaping on this one more than the 2016 one, and while the 2011 one was very pleasingly shaped, it was innacurate. Personally, I think this model nails the shaping the best.
I gotta be honest, after watching this review this set is almost entirely a bad vibe to me down to the boxart Finally getting saw is the highlight but even then that’s on top of the infiltrator baseline set
I'm surprised that no one has mentioned the fact that Darth Maul is also missing his cape and hood, which I think is worse than his lack of pupils because it makes him even more inaccurate to the scene that this set is based on
This set is awesome! I had the original from 1999, but this is a big step up. Always good to get a Darth Maul minifigure! They even have the double red lighsaber even if the scene in the movie didn't have that.
Technically standard minifigures do not have pupils either. They have a glint of light in their eyes. This Maul has that as well, making it more consistent. It does look odd though after seeing sith eyes represented a certain way for decades.
Because he’s RUclips and is sent them I really understand comments like your own obviously over and over again he’s explained why he gets them early it’s basically his job.
@@Bricklete he was definitely sent this as it’s not out yet. And even he didn’t get sent it he’s a RUclips he makes a living from doing this it’s his job.
@@copyer9088 no, he was not sent this lol somebody somewhere in world was able to buy this set so Ryan paid them for it. That’s how he gets these sets before they’re released.
@@Bricklete but like I said that doesn’t matter he’s a bloody RUclipsr and makes loads of money so they are able to afford things that most others can’t. Plus this is his job reviewing sets and videos it’s what he does for a living it’s nothing to be surprised about.
No normal minifigure has pupils. It only makes sense for Maul to just have the white glare. If you think pupils are the way Lego needs to go then maybe you should look into the clone wars minifigures. Lego is its own style that makes their representation of these characters, not perfect replicas. If that's what you're looking for, you should maybe look into something like Hot Toys.
Tbh regular minifigures do not have white eyes with black pupils so the new version of eyes not only makes sense, its more stylized and more lego. Good change, I like it
Great Video. I bought the Original 1999 Sith Infiltrator, haven't gotten any others since, I'm going to make this one just a little deeper, longer, get rid of that Ridge, and lengthen the Landing Gear. And a steady hand with a Sharpie and you can have your Pupils.
This set surprised me with how solid the ship was and all the cool little features like the drone drop area, and I got it on sale for like 40 or 50 bucks so not bad
I do actually like the no pupils look, since other minifigures dont really have pupils, just black eyes and the white shine, it would only make sense darth maul would only have the white shine as well
I think it's a nice display piece. I saw the full 70 dollar value in that the set is the best looking sith infiltrator we've ever gotten, the Saw figure is awesome, and it helped me get the GWP droid carrier when other lego sets were sold out at my local lego store. Definitely a great display piece
Gonna respectfully disagree with the pupils thing, yeah it felt like a needless change for maul and I do agree that he looks better with them for the sake of details and having a detailed minifig and if I had to chose I would go for pupils maul but it looks good for what it is IMO but really needed a hood and cape for scene accuracy
it's no big deal if the fur texture is not on point but they could atleast make the color look like the actual product, the poncho on the box looks brown and the real one looks tan 💀
I recently took apart my 2015 Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator to make some space (it didn't really help that much haha), but I prefer that one over this one by far! Will probably pick this one up sometime in the near future.
Just bought it im pretty happy with the figures never had the sith infiltrator when i was a kid and i think this set was fun to build and enjoyable to view on display sure its not perfect but i do enjoy having it
I don't mind this set at all. This is probably the most accurate one we are going to get. Of course there are a couple, but not many inaccuracies, but I have a feeling some people might modify the sloped section right in front of the viewport.
The set looks pretty good, massively helped by the Saw Garrera figure, but I think they should’ve included one more minifigure. It could’ve just been Padme if they wanted, but they could’ve given us a new Watto, or even Shmi Skywalker for the first time.
I personally am really excited for this set especially since I've never gotten any of the previous LEGO Sith Infiltrators! Especially for Minifig-scale sets I usually don't have a problem when design sacrifices are made for the sake of play since they are toys and the ones here I feel like I'm going to be fine with. I only have a problem when cheap or questionable choices are made for seemingly no reason at all; such as the 2021 75301 X-Wing's ridiculously flimsy front landing gear that just about no reviewer ever mentioned yet if you go on the LEGO site it's featured prominently in quite a few customer reviews.
11:34 Looks like you could flip the little cheese slope upside down and have it rest on the floor flush with it's 'backside' instead of the 'tip'. Easy fix! Sure, would not look really good but better than a completely angled ship or tippy-toeing as seen in this shot.
Honestly I don't mind Maul without pupils, especially since it looks more clean compared to certain Mauls in recent years like Duel on Mandalore (eyes not exactly centered and have slight red parts covering it) or Crimson Dawn (same deal, matter of fact I've seen it where the pupils go in two different places) Also just me, it would be nice if Anakin had the small poseable legs
On discount type of set

I don't think he used the double blade in this scene as well.

Down to AU$76 on sale today! Not a bad price for a star wars set with this many pieces and pretty cool minifigs.
This set feels like a downgrade compared to the past versions, especially with the wonky mid section, but Saw Gerrera definitely helps the set out
Most new sets feel that way 😢
it doesn't change the fact that Saw is supposed to have sand blue armour, not green.
Disagree but ok
70 bucks for this? No thanks I’ll buy the figs separately one day
2007 definitely has the next overall design being super sleek
I'll probably end up getting it since i don't have one. But man it's so upsetting of what could've been. First all the details you mentioned and more. But also the opportunity to make the queens royal ship with maul, his speeder,quigon, anakin and obiwan and recreating the attack scene

@@jkgaming0565 dont* Imagine correcting someone but being wrong

Underrated comment Shamowna!!
Ah, a critical review by my favorite RUclipsr. Gotta love the fact that the criticisms go beyond clones and other figures.
Always loved your no bs honest reviews. But I love how now, after Lego came after you, you’re even more brutally honest 👀😂
What happen?
Y’know a Naboo Royal Guard battle pack would be cool, or a UCS J-type Nubian. But that’s something Lego will never do lmao.
And Dooku.
Anakin: qui gon sir, wait I'm tried.
Qui gon: Anakin, drop! Run, tell them to take off!
Back to back to back early reviews!!! Truly amazing work as always!
They have packed a huge amount of play features into this. A lot of smart choices on the design to get so many functions into a small build. Reminds of what they did with the design of the 75311 Imperial Armored Marauder
So glad they finally made saw gerrera!! W
Darth Maul needed his pupils, cape and hood
And now waiting for comparison of all 5 of them 😄☺️
Sith infiltrator comparison!!!
Lego: "it is illegal to put stress on our pieces"
Also Lego: *squashes that rubber piece down to the size of a stud*
I think the set's fine. The only thing I would change is probably that section for the storage, and adding in maybe Obi-Wan or someone else like Panaka.

I am definitely buying this set because of the qui gon Jin and saw gerrera and I will buy the Visual dictionary for the Exclusive twenty fifth anniversary 2007 darth maul
The Maul eyes are so much better this time around, glad it’s finally consistent with other figures
I like the shaping on this one more than the 2016 one, and while the 2011 one was very pleasingly shaped, it was innacurate. Personally, I think this model nails the shaping the best.

Yeah but still you get his point, it doesnt look like he has pupils
@@Azact It doesn't look like anyone else has pupils, but that's just how everybody is used to seeing it.
This set has grown on me. However, really should have had at least one more figure.
The hidden spring-loaded shooter feature is awesome! Love those hidden buttons
Soooo looking forward to a comparison video! 😊😮🎉
love the review but I agree with the Maul criticism, especially since he is also missing his Hood/Cape
Sup man just wanted to say that I love your channel and that you’ve been my favorite for years keep up the good work!

I don’t mind the no pupil maul. Maybe I’m crazy tho
Shimmy skywalker is my new favorite character
very good set but 70 is insane i seen it in the store and i was like nooooo way but it would look so good on my shelf
Thought it’d be bigger but it’s still a pretty cool set 😮💨

thank you!! the only sane person here
The box art horrendous?? It looks absolutely beautiful
At this point of Lego Star Wars Ryan’s going to need to make an upgrade kit for every set!!
The first speeder, from 1999, was brown and sand coloured beige, also spot on from the movie.
Tbh regular minifigures do not have white eyes with black pupils so the new version of eyes not only makes sense, its more stylized and more lego. Good change, I like it
I just bought and built mine. On my set, the dark gray on the top hatch matches the dark gray of the brick perfectly.
Love how you can integrate some comedy into these reviews

Probably is leaning forward to cover the spring-loaded shooters, and show off the top more, as that is the best looking spot.
