New to Lego star wars, for just £10.99 a week you can have access to buying Lego sets. Not only that but we just launched our new battlepack. Including 3 clone troopers and a 20 piece build for just £999.99
In 10 years, a basic Jedi interceptor will most cost around $65 based on the current inflation scale, knowing Lego though, that price will be around $80. That is absolutely insane to consider, and I hate it.

And then it's so comical that Lego's answer for not doing dual printed legs is that they don't have the budget for like gtfo. Just in the last 10 years Lego has doubled it's revenue from 4 billion to 10 billion dollars. No money yeah sure...
I knew something about it was off to me and you pointing that out made me realize that is it. The nose just doesn't look right. The engines are also a bit too small
also, a minor detail for most that bothers me is that the dark red on the front should start at the same level as the horizontal dark red stripe from the side. here the dark red front goes over it, and it just breaks the silhouette. I don't know how they even got that wrong considering that lego has nailed it on the previous iterations.
If you've complaining about the Arc 170 nose you should be complaining about the noses of every single lego X wing model (including the UCS versions). They can literally never get the downward slope right.
When your slogan is "Only the best is good enough" The bars you've set are the bare minimum you should do, even if you're not trying to get better. (Can I get an, "Ohh yeah!")
The prices have gotten insane especially with the continued use of stickers in most sets. If there were all prints and no more stickers I could almost understand the price increases. It’s not like there’s really any new parts besides the cockpit (which I don’t think is an improvement over the old one) and only a couple of new prints to go around. It’s disappointing to see Lego become so cheap while raising prices. Also I think the “R2” in the Home One with Hera is actually the hologram table from the meeting room in ROTJ and Ahsoka since it has a trans blue tile instead of a regular blue stud like they’ve used for R2 in other Midi scale ships.
It definitely doesn’t help when they probably have one of the most massed produced toy product. But I guess they have no competition so they raise prices and people will stay pay for it.
you should make a video customizing ahsoka's starfighter to make the opening cockpit more accurate to the movies without the 4x4 circle piece coming up
I think the brown piece on the cannon of the ARC170 is supposed to represent the scorched look from blaster fire, in the scene from the box in RotS the cannon is a little scorched from use and lighter coloured
It’s clear LEGO has noticed that fans often pay full price regardless of increases, which likely encourages higher pricing. If buyers collectively avoid paying full price, it could pressure LEGO to reassess or offer more frequent discounts. While LEGO justifies prices with quality, licensing, and innovation, many fans feel the increases are excessive. Exploring sales, secondhand markets, or swaps is a practical response until pricing aligns better with expectations.
the new arc 170 has grown on me. gut reaction was that i didn't like it, and even though I'm going to have to modify the canons and tail turret overall I'm really looking forward to it. ofc it is my favorite ship in the series and the 2005 set was my first lego set, but great figure selection and the build is growing on me. def a better slim down than the x-wing and tie-fighter slim downs we've gotten.
Personally I really like the downscaled Arc-170, I have the 2005 one and I really enjoy that set, but it's wingspan is so large that it's difficult to put it on a shelf without taking up a ridiculous amount of space. I don't think I even have it on display because it takes up so much room.
Hey Ryan, just wanted to let you know to not skip out on skeleton crew. Imo it’s good with a lot of eu references and does a really good job at giving the kids character. It’s like the goonies in space.
I feel like the ARC 170 is more accurate in that size compared to a LEGO minifigure. The older versions were too big. Same thing as the Coruscant Guard Gunship from last year. It was downscaled, but more accurate.
The brown piece is actually accurate to the ARC-170 in universe, but the cannons themselves on the set just look too small, even for the downscaled model
I don't collect display sets that don't come with figs but I'm going to buy a few of the Mon Calamari home one just for all the newer curved elements. Mocs look so good when corners r rounded and that set is a great SW parts pack😂
None of these are up on the Australia site. Makes me think they haven't decided pricing yet as the pricing will just be outrageous. The Ahsoka starfighter for instance will be $76.99 at a straight conversion but Lego love to round up so it will be $79.99 including tax which is absurd when I can buy Jedi Bob's starfighter today for $39 including tax.
Don't know if anyone mentioned this in the other video, but according to the lore, that "top cannon" on the ARC-170 is actually a rangefinder. So, it's totally fine to me that they put the spring-loaded shooter there.
For all of you who worry about prices I have good news: with a wave of huge inflation there will almost certainly be a huge deflation following it, if LEGO wants to keep up they will have to lower the prices give it 3 years
@@SMZProductionsI mean, the new ARC-170 is cheaper than the previous one when adjusted for inflation, but I do agree that the other sets are somewhat overpriced.
The Arc-170... I'm going broke... For years. like this, the At-te, and Gunship... All we need is the bombers maybe, and a few other ships. Also check your Walmarts! Found the 3in1 with obiwan and etc for 20 bucks along with the advent calendar
I think the craziest part is 10 years ago a $70 mon calamari star cruiser could realistically be a complete playset with several minifigures inside it.
Im completely ok with Lego making plo kuns ( I think I spelled that wrong) star fighter a microfighter since at least we are getting a new plo kun Minifigure but if you really want a plo kun star fighter then there’s an alternative build for the mandalorian star fighter with bo katan
$30 for the 4 + Mando Starfighter with only 92 pieces is insane! 😰And why does it look so bad? It looks like it was actually designed by a 4 year old! 😂
I'm not going to buy it, and I'm not the target audience, but the fact that Lego is putting that out there as a finished product is ridiculous, especially for that price! 🤯
The ARC-170 may be the only one I’d consider buying AFTER it goes on sale. Even at like 20% off (their typical sale), the other stuff is still way too expensive, especially the midi scale ships. Those things are TINY and cost $50-$70??? Absolutely insane.
Great video Ryan. Can't remember last time we got 5 sets first of the year. This year is going to be mostly Mando sets based on new movie because it's been forever since they launched with movie. Sucks I know, but with toysrus alive again,, we might get another Force Friday launch. Even though Mando has no force power. Love those yellow box Mandos I got from your Whatnot stream! They are different than BP Mandos with a dual printed face and different printing all around. ❤ Army building all the different Mandos now
For reference Dual Moulded legs on Pick-A-Brick cost literally less than $/£0.50 additional than normal legs, so do some quick math: 3x 0.5 = an additional $/£1.50 approx for three figures for this set, yet the vaule you get from this upgrade is amazing. They can't seem to fit into the budget an extra £1.50!!?
I don’t see the issues of sets getting smaller as long as it works it works. A LEGO collector challenge is money and more importantly space. If a ship can be downscaled and still function its role then why not. It would help with the playability especially for Star fighters. Unless you want jimmy flying an arc 170 play set with two hands.
Looks like these will be my January 2026 wave when they’re 40% off. Grabbed the full-size Mando Starfighters at $23/ea at our Walmart. 29.99$ for the 4+ is silly.
my bet is real clone wars or moc builder fans just any lego fan that colleccts the clone wars will definently buy the arc-170 but those rich grandmas out there are going to be buying the grogu set for sure
Grogu hasn’t been on TV in like a year and a half and yet they’re still making toys for him? I should make him white and black like a cow like a cash cow

You got to remember that the interior of the Mon Calamari cruiser has a giant swimming pool... maybe Hera is in her swimsuit!

What people don't appreciate about the new tie fighter is how easy it is to mod into other tie variants due to the modular nature of the wings.

haven't been following lego (or your channel i'm sorry) since moving out over the summer, the arc 170 is a very warm welcome back to collecting
I'd bet the Acclimator started off as a midi scale venator in concept and as it came to fruition through development and design became aclimator.
