Lego Star Wars Review set 7163 Republic Gunship
This is my look back review at Lego Star Wars set 7163 Republic Gunship from 2002. This is one of my favorite Lego Star Wars sets if not my overall favorite of all time. It is an incredibly fun build, an iconic ship and has an amazing lineup of minifigs. We'll do a comparison between this build and the 2023 Lego Star Wars set 75354 Coruscant Guard Gunship. Which is better? That's for you to decide, so let's dig in!

Lego Star Wars Review set 4500 Rebel Snowspeeder (Five Minute Friday)
Переглядів 1359 годин тому
This is an introduction to a new segment for Lego Star Wars reviews called Five Minute Friday. I will do my best to take a look at a set in five minutes or less and give you some interesting facts and my opinions on that set. Please note that while I will try to keep the entire video under five minutes, the intro and outro wouldn't typically count against the time. With that in mind, I will try...
Lego Star Wars Review Set 7131 Anakin's Podracer
Переглядів 23914 годин тому
This is my review of #lego #starwars #legostarwars set 7131 Anakin's Podracer from 1999. This was one of the earliest sets that I purchased back in 1999 and I have many fond memories of building this set. While it isn't the perfect build, it certainly isn't bad and holds up still today. We'll compare the minifigs to more modern versions and we'll do a thorough review of the build. Let's dig in!...
Lego Star Wars Review Set 75381 Droideka 2024
Переглядів 41519 годин тому
Lego Star Wars set 75381 from May of 2024 is an absolutely amazing Droideka build. While it does compare well to Technic set 8002, Destroyer Droid, from 2000, 75381 is more detailed and uses more than just technic parts in the build. The minifigure Droideka is just ok when compared to past entries. Music by: www.bensound.com/free-music-for-videos License code: K5AXLXOT9GAV8LDM #lego #legostarwa...
Lego Star Wars Review and Unboxing set 75395 2024 Advent Calendar
Переглядів 230День тому
This is the 2024 Lego Star Wars Advent Calendar set 75395. The advent calendar concept is a weird one for me. I'm not a big fan of micro builds but I love the mini figures so I thought I'd better pick it up. It was a weird set for me to attempt my first unboxing on. I'd love your feedback on how I can do that better in the future. For those who are not familiar with advent calendars, they were ...

Honestly think it’s kind of overrated and the 2013 version is better. Still a cool set tho
@@JohnMarston-nb1pz either way the Republic Gunship is a really great vehicle.
Don’t forget to subscribe so you don’t miss anything. ❤
Wow! I really like this with the rotating center and action figures! 😮
@@ilotefft2526 it’s a really cool looking set.
Didn’t know they had that a set for that scene. When you flipped it over to reveal Vader, especially right during that particular part of the song, that was actually really cool
I try to only do really cool things. Thanks for noticing. 😂
Do these anniversary sets get a discount? $80 seems too much.
They haven’t yet, but typically as they near retirement we’ll see Lego start to give better deals. I saw some of the retiring sets on Lego.com were heavily discounted this past weekend. I’m sure these will get that treatment at some point too. $80 is a lot. You’re not wrong.
Honestly prefer the original look for the lightsaber and the original brown
Hard to argue with that. I love the chrome hilts. There also seems to be a difference in the color of the old and new green blades.
@ yeah they used to use trans neon green from the old space sets from memory the new blades also lack the air bubbles that made them iconic
@ I’ve noticed that too. Good info, thank you.
This channel has potential
Thank you. I’ll take any feedback you care to offer to help me reach that potential. I’m still a nube.
Very cool! I’ve never seen this one. Love the battle droids.
@@ilotefft2526 this is one of my oldest sets. I got it back in 2000. It’s really an amazing looking set. Not super durable but it displays well. Those are the standard battle droids. The only change they’ve made since 1999 was to give them one straight arm and one bent arm instead of two bent arms so they can hold a modern gun. Otherwise they are exactly the same. I now have 91 of those dudes on my collection. A regular old army.
@ 91 is definitely an army. That’s great!
Love all the moving part. And 8 mini figures is amazing😮
@@ilotefft2526 absolutely amazing. It’s an incredible set that still looks awesome today.
Background music 👌 and also that guy is funny
What movie was Jedi Bob in?
@@ilotefft2526 He wasn’t in a movie, he was featured in a 4 episode animated mini-series on Disney+ called Rebuild the Galaxy. It was kind of fun and comical at times. They made Darth Vader a good guy, Luke Skywalker a surfing beach bum, good guys became bad guys bad guys become good guys and all of that. C-3PO was a bounty hunter and the Ewoks were assassins. But it also gave us a variety of sets like Jedi Bob’s starfighter, The Dark Falcon and The X-Wing and Tie Fighter mashup set.

Been waiting for this one! Such a cool set
I love this set and the Minifigs.
Great music once again!
I’m glad you’re enjoying the music. I try to pick tracks that fit the mood of the videos.
How do you sound exactly like George Lucas
@@richardpatton6691 LOL. Maybe he copied my voice patterns and inflections?
Well, it’s cool how the storm troopers helmet upgraded
I love the upgrades and the improvements Lego continues to make every year.
Wow that is a small speeder. I forgot the name of that.
@@CruzeCastillo that’s the Desert Skiff from return of the Jedi. It’s the vehicle that carried Luke, Han and Chewie to the Sarlacc Pit.
Oh thanks for the information
@ my pleasure
I love that fight scene in the movie
@@CruzeCastillo me too!
Great music!
@@Epicgamer_Mac UA-cam provides some good tracks for shorts that they say are copyright free
Love the background music!
Same one of my favorite songs
@@ilotefft2526 I found it on UA-cam in their royalty free section. Hopefully I don’t get a copyright strike. Always makes me nervous. Tomorrow’s short has a great song too. Very appropriate for the set.
Ngl it'd be 50$ if it was released today.
@@CheekiStalker you might be right
5 minute Friday is a good idea
@@Epicgamer_Mac thanks. I hope everyone enjoys the shorter format on Friday.
I liked the Snow Speeders in the movie. Very exciting!
@@ilotefft2526 yeah, it was an epic vehicle and several epic scenes.
Great review Justin, and your wife’s 5 minute Friday idea is fantastic 🎉
@@Jessica-hr2qr thank you! I’ll let her know. I appreciate you.
Nice set!
I really like the Hoth sets that Lego makes.
Clones are highly trained but lack inspiration or reasoning skills.
@@ilotefft2526 I don’t think I agree with that.
That is so funny lipstick 🦷
@@CruzeCastillo takes a little of the toughness away
Wow I am surprised it sell for 80 bucks for that little set today
@@CruzeCastillo I know, but only in new sealed condition.
@@GoodLifeBricks oh
I love Star Wars and your video
Thank you. That means a lot. I love Star Wars too. I’m glad you’re here. Thanks for the encouragement.
One of my friends bought the newest one the big one
I really would like to have the UCS version. It’s so big. Same with the UCS AT-AT.
@@GoodLifeBricks I would love the AtAt
This is such a nostalgic set...I would love to see a modern wave full of podracers. With LEGO's emphasis on F1 in 2025; how cool would it be for Star Wars to dive in to the racing theme with a podracer wave and accompanying show. I know, I dream, I dream. Another great video!!
It would be great to see that. The Lego Star Wars shows have been great over the years and I know they’d knock it out of the park. Thanks for the continued support.
Great mini figures - Pit Droid’s hat and Aniken’s goggles! Wonderful memories🙌
They’re really great additions to the set, aren’t they?
That is awesome. I want that set.
@@CruzeCastillo I love that set. It’s probably my fave from 2024. It is an amazing display set. I highly recommend it. Thanks for commenting.
Very nice
Thank for watching and commenting. I appreciate it.
1999! How interesting!😮
I've been cleaning lego of my own and let me tell you... it sucks 😂 But its worth it!!
@@goldenpatrion preach it. You’re exactly right. Not fun at all but the outcome is exceptionally satisfying.
@@GoodLifeBricks indeed
Wow cool speed racer😊
@@CruzeCastillo Lego did pretty good with this one. It’s a pretty simple build but a lot of fun.
His arms are too long, but he’ll grow into them🤣🤣🤣
@@loveandlavender11 😂
🤣🤣
it was a dope set, my parents got it for me on a trip to legoland back in like 2000!
@@marcuscisneros8528 great memories, huh? What happened to the set? Do you still have it?
@@GoodLifeBricks got all my old bricks in bins at my parents, gotta make it a weekend project to dust them off and separate the colors! bunch of minifigs too
@ that would be so much fun rediscovering old sets and figs. I hope you have a blast. Let me know how it goes when you do it. I’d love to hear what you find.
@ definitely!
Nice, I’d never have guessed it was dusty
@@Epicgamer_Mac it was kind of beyond dusty. Like when something gets dusty then sits there for years and the dust sticks to the surface and causes discoloration. It was pretty bad. Can’t imagine letting that happen to the Millennium Falcon.
@@GoodLifeBricks yea i know what you’re talking about.
I will definitely be sticking around. Is the name of your channel a reference to Aristotle and Eudaimonia?
@@ldon1235 that’s awesome. In response to your question, no, but thanks for thinking the best of me to think I would know about that topic. Good life bricks is in reference to the good life in Nebraska where I live. If you drive into the state you’ll see signs that say welcome to the good life.
Looks new!😊
@@ilotefft2526 woohooo
This is beautiful work! I would have thought you just built this straight out of the box!
That’s music to my ears. Thank you so much.
Looks cool definitely a set you could play with for a long time
I completely agree!
Stumbled upon this video by chance, I really like the genuinity and calmness in your video! I made sure to subscribe!
@@shan-pen6908 wow! Thank you. I appreciate the kind words and I’m glad to have you on board.
Reminds me of a scorpion.😮 Wouldn’t want one coming after me! I’m glad the minis are all different. Very fun!
They are pretty terrifying, aren't they?
They all have things about them that are better than the others. I like the legs of the second one, but the back piece of the newest one. The rest is better on the oldest version.
You’re probably right. Could just be the old one, which is part of my all time favorite set from 2002, is very nostalgic for me.
Love this advent calendar, 2 holiday sweater figs and the minikit build is amazing. I played all those games so that’s super cool to see officially made. Also I’m not sure if you have it but the millennium falcon holiday diorama set from 2023 is a perfect display base to put all the holiday figures on.
That’s a great idea! I do have that diorama. Love it. Thank you.
Coming from Ebay! Great video, been watching all your long form videos.
@@ICanStack247 thank you so much. I really appreciate it.
The clutch power on older sets is terrible. I don't think it's aging and stretching as I remember them being loose at the time as well. Especially with those barrel pieces used for the engines. I remember those rear engines falling off all the time. It's the same with my classic space sets that use them, they basically sit in place and if you touch them at all they fall off. I started putting light saber rods in the middle of them which helped quite a bit as long as the piece they were attaching to also had a hole in the middle. In fact, with the new Sarlacc Pit, Lego even does something like that for the clear barrel pieces that hold up the skiff. I'm pretty sure they got that idea from me.
@@pacerdawn5512 that’s awesome. You’re an innovator. It is a great idea though. Keep coming up with the fixes and don’t forget to share them all with me. 😀
