LEGO Star Wars C-3PO REVIEW
Переглядів 620Місяць тому
Months after releasing the 10 R2-D2, Lego is selling a C-3PO that appears meant to complement the other droid. But is the 18 packaging anything except a 10% tax? I don't know, but it does come with a very nice C-3PO minifig. 75398 C-3PO 1,138 Pieces $140 US #lego #starwars #legostarwars #c3po #c3p0 Find me on Instagram matt_makesthings See me on TikTok www.tiktok.com/@matt_makesth...

Lego Minecraft Pirate Ship Voyage REVIEW

Lego's Minecraft Pirate Ship Voyage is the smallest and least expensive set from June 2024, but it has a lot going on.

    I have both but the smaller of the two goes much better with C-3PO (75398) and I believe they are designed to go together. It now makes sense why Lego released this version as it had C-3PO in mind. It made me get this R2-D2 as well to go with C-3PO. Clever marketing Lego

    More like Jedi Rob - as in Rob your wallet. yes silly little pun, but true. $40 for this weak set for a non canon character is just out of hand. Any SW lego Collector with even a few Jedi could create this character quite easily. I honestly don't understand the perceived exclusivity. But hey, go pay Lego already to collect this "rare" figure!

    • @mattmakesthings
      @mattmakesthings Місяць тому

      I think it’s a cool starfighter build as well so it doesn’t bother me a ton, but I’d definitely wait for a sale. I think the sarlac pit is way more egregiously priced. But c3PO and star destroyer aren’t too bad.

    I'm always convinced that the only reason Lego wasn't expensive "Back then" is because for most fans "Back then" refers to when they were little and it was their parents complaining about how expensive Lego was.

    • @mattmakesthings
      @mattmakesthings 2 місяці тому

      Well it’s definitely true that Lego has always been expensive. If you use inflation calculators, a lot of those older sets would still be pretty expensive today. I think it’s more that the increase in licensed sets and the use of more small pieces has meant that a lot of sets feel especially expensive for the price now-especially some lines like Star Wars when compared to others like botanical or ninjago.
