This set is overpriced lol. They throw in the dumb plaque and a “bonus” to crank up the price for no reason. Why does a 500 piece set even need a giant plaque
@@AlexTheGamer97 He's saying that you're buying the actual large droideka, and getting the mini one as a bonus. If this set didn't have the mini, most people probably wouldn't say anything, which is why he feels it's a bonus, which I agree with
I love buying prequel sets and i think the build is fantastic. They executed it perfectly in my opinion. For the size i would have purchased it day 1 for $55 but $65 seems little steep for the size and piece count.
Aside from it being slightly pricy, I really don't know what else to expect from a Droideka set. It looks like what a Droideka should. The transformation really doesn't look too complicated, I get that the legs had to be done like that for stability. The size isn't bad at all, pretty sure the designer had the play aspect in mind, too big and it can start to fall apart when rolling around
We have so many molds from lego for one character only. On god, just make a droideka mold. Lego tried so many times and failed. Just accept the failure and move on!
the top part of the minifg build is really good, it's just the legs and the eyes. if they made a specific eye and leg piece, not only would it make the perfect droideka, but those pieces would have so much applicability in other sets.
There are dozens of Droideka MOCs which are above and beyond of how this abomination of a minifig-scale Droideka looks. Just grab the instructions from Rebrickable for the best one for you, gather the bricks from Bricklink and build your own
@@bionodroid547 Blasters ain't even close. It's kind of a trash design. Mold is the best idea, I think. Lego's standards for durability really restrict the accuracy designers are able to achieve. There's a ton of MOCs that look fantastic for the scale, but the standard is why nothing like them has been adopted.
glad to see they are going with paper bags now, it actually pissed me off how much plastic was going to waste just from opening up a box and seeing 30 different platic bags they were just going to be thrown in the bin
I personally adore the minifig-scale droideka! It seems like a thoughtful design choice to mirror it so closely to the best parts of the original design. I intend on becoming a droideka daddy this May!
I thought the black boxes were cool in like 2020 but now that every Lego Star Wars set is just a black box I think the Lego store looks depressing whenever I go to the Star Wars section
Just like the unique B1 battle droid and the commando droid head molds and the B2 torsos with unique arms they should just cut the cost and design us a brand new lego droid head mold and unique body parts to build more minifigure scale accurate droideka but still leave enough of that Lego aspect to it to not try to make it look too realistic and complex as in an Hasbro action figure.
I think the legs are actually the wrong shade of grey. I'm pretty sure the legs are a darker shade of grey on the bigger droideka than the minifig scale one.
Big or small I don't really care, I don't have a lot of space so it's perfect size for my shelf so I'm good with the size, price should be $50. I'm happy with this set 👍
Idk why lego keeps trying to remake the minifig scale of the droideka. Lile combine the head of the 2002 and the body of the 2013, you pretty much have a good design there
Can I ask why we are asking a display set to roll perfectly in a ball like the technic set? Nothing about this model says this was meant for play functions .The only critique for me is I wish the stickers were printed pieces. The droideka build is not that bad compared to some of the more recent variants although the oldest model used in the comp I will admit is better. For someone who wants a display piece at a versatile size this is excellent and is good value for people looking for the “UCS on a budget” set release.
The fact that they got one of the most obvious parts about a droideka (the head isnt directly connected to the body, they have a long neck) wrong is so hilariously bad, lego does NOT care about the stuff they produce and sell huh
This set looks incredible, but there are a few things that would’ve been better like the minifig scale droideka. Other than that this set seems great and good video as always 😀👍
This is why we don’t get any prequel sets because they are just bad and the prequel fans are too cheap to buy anything like this. This one is a big pass for me. Waiting for Lego to release more UCS sets
I think your review was stinky and didnt properly compare the one set to the other, i also have watched other reviews and the fact that u compare their prices without considering 10+ years of inflation compared to other reviewers mind boggles me... the fact that u cant generate an honest opinion and formulate ur thoughts in a video which isnt live also hurts my head, saying "i hope you know what i mean", no bro u have literally forever to plan out a video, plan it out and figure out ur real opinion...

The small droideka is cute, definitely Legos best shot at this character so far. I hope to see it appear in future sets. Naboo N1 remake, anyone?

That $50 technic droideka in 2000 would be $90 today. So not fair to say the 2000 set was a better value.

Always a great day when Solid Brie Studios uploads. 🔥🔥

Seeing this makes me want buildable super battle droids, B1s, and Clones. Ex the buildable figs that never got made.
this makes both the lego and the star wars fan inside of me so, so happy.
I really like the minifigure-scale droideka, looks more lego-y to me. Also looks much more like a droideka than the 2002 one!

I will definitely wait for a discount on this one, great review as always, David!
“[LEGO Star Wars Droideka Set 75381]…you’re [smaller] than I expected.”
Looks good - will at it to my list - but Tie interceptor and the Brick Headz looks awesome
1:00 everyone who already saw M&R do this days ago: yes, yes lets see if rolls
M and R is the GOAT
@@DesignedAssassin LEGO sets the embargo date for LAN.
@@GeekRobotYT M and R is a winey man-child
@@CrispyPratt ehhh fair enough, I just like him because he speaks his mind and I appreciate that
Not everyone is subscribed to M and R, I personally think he's really annoying and abrasive.
WHAT. A. SET. 👏👏👏
this looks sooo good for the price. im kinda debating whether to get this or to save for the tie interceptor
The new droideka is definitely an improvement, but compared to what other people have created with mocs, Lego could’ve done better.
Rune hakko: they're no match for droidekas.
I think it's the antenna for a face that makes the minifig scale weird looking, blaster arms are not that bad.
I think the legs are actually the wrong shade of grey. I'm pretty sure the legs are a darker shade of grey on the bigger droideka than the minifig scale one.
So I picked this set up yesterday and the bags in the set were plastic for me. Weird… love the set regardless though it could have been cheaper
I haven't got a Lego Droideka. It's the only reason I want this set, but it is not on the top of my list of must-have sets.
Am surprised no one mentioned Bionicle The Bohrok had roll feature don’t know why they didn’t upscale into Droideka.
Sir, they've gone up the ventilation shaft.
The head on your technic one is In the wrong position
If the legs were on ball joints, this would've been great. It stands a little too tall right now and ball joints would've allowed for easy ballin'.
This was a day one pick up for me😂
I just wish they'd hurry up and release the Jabba Sail Barge and the Sarlacc Pit.
Love the thumbnail detail!
Only thing I didn't like about this build was the Indiana Jones whips as the arm cables. They are not a good fit and fall out pretty easily.
I would love for someone to make a MOC of the Shiled going round this
Get an upturned fish bowl.
Your old technic one looks a little off lol
ya, the head portion isn't connected properly
Here we are: the second I saw this set I wanted to know your opinion on it.
Big or small I don't really care, I don't have a lot of space so it's perfect size for my shelf so I'm good with the size, price should be $50. I'm happy with this set 👍
Idk why lego keeps trying to remake the minifig scale of the droideka. Lile combine the head of the 2002 and the body of the 2013, you pretty much have a good design there
the minifig scale one looks really derpy.
I think what this set really needed was just a little bit of posability.
2002 mini scale most certainly does not hold up 💀 I remember even being a kid and thinking that thing was ugly lol
my set still had plastic bags
I made my own minifig scale droideka to put in my display stand.
9.5/10 set
I think 2x points and the GWPs will make this worth it on day 1.
Let’s go another w vid
Another set I’ll get at a discount. Good review

As someone who can not buy as much lego nowadays, I appreciate this not being a massive 200+ dollar set
sadly both dont look that good.. was hoping for better. way better.
The only bad thing about this set is the mini scale droideka. The main set is perfect

Idk I think with a little tweaking the minifig scale version could look better.
Wow it doesn’t come with a shield? What a terrible set… lolol too nit picky this is a great model set even mini fig is perfectly cute
This is $90 in adelaids Australia
The black back drop makes the video dark
its the legs on the main set that throw it off they are too small
Bro lowkey had a glow up
where is week 11 of geonosis????? Can't wait!!
Idk man i have to disagree, I got ine today and no doubt my older technics on is very cool but so is this one ... i love dorids
Most of the video the back spine thing looks like it's built wrong or not clicked right? Or is it just me? :)
Am I the only one that completely disagrees with this? maybe the best set of 2024 so far
I feel like there aren’t that many solid Star Wars sets these days :(
Yeah Droidika... when we're getting a review of the Batman Animated Series set?
The fact that they got one of the most obvious parts about a droideka (the head isnt directly connected to the body, they have a long neck) wrong is so hilariously bad, lego does NOT care about the stuff they produce and sell huh
It is connected to the neck, he just has its head position in roly-poly mode for most of the video
Technic destroyer droid still VIP
This set looks incredible, but there are a few things that would’ve been better like the minifig scale droideka. Other than that this set seems great and good video as always 😀👍

do you think that the rex in the microfighter will have his pauldron? considering boba fett did not have his cape in the mech
The legs doesn't fold up like the "real" thing. Too bad

Just realized you have a name lol

That minifigure droideka.. oof. Embarrassing. It is bad you can say it.
The mini droideka absolutely sucks.

Looks amazing set great design awesome review
It looks incredible, but the ball function can't compare to the technic one.
