@@palpatinerocks3260 wet it, then fold it into place and have something hold it there until it dries, its similar to what you have to do on action figure cloaks that are stiff
It would have been nice to also get hairpieces for Luke and Leia. While not being fully accurate to the scene as they were wearing helmets for most of it, would have been nice for play, and to get an extra copy of Luke’s new hair piece
Even though it is an 18+ diorama set, i do agree with you it would have been nice to have that included, not just for play but also for just making it how you want.
I'm still really on the fence with this one. I love the ROTJ Plaque and overall aesthetic but I really don't have the desire to pay 80 for this especially with the mini-fig quality
@@Paxton365 Nah Lego just overpriced everything, it’s plastic it should be 30$ max. I don’t blame them, people are willing to drop so much money on these things
The thing that gets me is that LEGO already makes double-molded legs in the correct colors for Luke and Leia in this scene. Them getting single-molded legs isn't even cost-cutting, just incompetence. (And even ignoring that, if they didn't want to do double-molded legs they still should've printed the tunics onto correctly-colored legs instead of printing legs onto tunic-colored legs.
Dang, you got that review out quick! LAN members haven’t even done their review yet… Love your honest reviews! Thanks for being awesome! I don’t think the Leia figure is that bad, however the leg printing on the Luke figure is awful! And thank goodness they used printed pieces for the quote tile…
all of the lego sets post july 2022 are getting discounted far more often, so seeing these high RRP costs isn't much of a turn off for me, just wait a week or two and buy them far cheaper. i bought the Mighty Bowser for £175 2 days after it was released and the price was £225 on lego! madness
The set is very disappointing besides the Leia the figs are either inaccurate (Luke) or repetitive like the Scout trooper. The builds are lacking in a lot of departments and the price is just ridiculous. Set is a 7/10 but price makes it a 5/10
For $80 I’d expect at the very least 4 figures. I’m not vibing with this Luke and Leia and felt they need cloth pieces. Where I totally prefer the older Leia figure(you can have cloth or regular plain clothes Leia) I agree $60 is the right price to get this set.
I think Lego has seen the sales of there Star Wars sets selling really well over the last few years to the generation x people like my self, we were the first real Star Wars fans, we are not really to worried about how the figures look but just having a set made show casing an iconic scene is awesome, return of the Jedi is my favourite and I think these diorama sets are amazing and really great display pieces. If you are a generation x Star Wars collector and avid original Star Wars fan like my self then the price and how the figures look are no problem, I can see these sets selling well after retirement. That’s my thoughts anyway. You have a great channel.
Wow, I didn't realise that we haven't gotten an Endor Luke since the original LEGO Star Wars release. Those minifigures definitely have room for improvement. Great review!
Lego pricing has become absurd. This set is priced higher than a brand new AAA video game and even a brand new PS5/Xbox controller. Lego needs new management badly.
I really don’t think the minifigures are as bad as you say. You make it seem like they are the worst figures ever, when the are actually not that bad. They represent what they are supposed to and are great figures to add to a collection. I mean these are just as good as most mini figures, and LEGO has never really done extra details for figures in dioramas. I feel like duel molded parts are reserved for only necessary details.
03:05 unfortunately I think they only stuck with printed pieces here because well the “Star Wars TM” tile is an existing piece that’s been in the other Diorama sets. And I’m sure the quote tiles are a lot easier to print than other prints on different pieces. It is just a flat tile after all. And this is waaaay overpriced. This is a $45 set max given the piece count and number of figs.
To me it would be worth 80$ if it inclouded another speeder bike with scout trooper, pounchou for Luke and Leia, extra hair pieces and dualmolded arms and legs.
I really don’t understand how Lego constantly makes sets the NO one can afford! Not all people buying Legos is a collector. They have to understand what is realistic to charge.
Thank you for absolutely obliterating this set. It's unacceptable that they would make a 600 piece set with awful minifigures, and poor build quality with stickers. And yet there will be some moofs that purchase this 80 dollar nightmare.
Fully agree with you comments on the figs. I’ve been pretty frustrated with the lack of consistency between lego doing dual molded legs and not doing them. Luke in this set particular leaves a lot to be desired
So overpriced my soul hurts. However I do like the dynamic look of the model. I'm definitely tweaking this model after I buy it massively discounted lol.
Ah yes, „quick jam their com link, center switch”, such a memorable quote. Really up there with „I am your father” or „do, or do not. There is no try”. Totally worth putting on a display plaque.
Both Luke & Leia should at least have cloth ponchos - it’s already been done before for Leia in the Shuttle Tydirium set. They could then have their alternate outfits underneath i.e Luke’s outfit was all black and Leias was her Rebel uniform as seen on Home one. Lego need to realise that the more money they charge, the higher levels of quality their customer base will understandably expect…..but Lego are not delivering….
I think Leia would have really benefited from having dual molded legs. With Luke I understand that maybe it's hard for Lego to print a light color over black so I would personally think the best option would to mold the base color of the belt the same as the uppbody and mold the legs in black.
I used to live about an hour away from where they filmed the Endor scenes and I actually have to complement the scenery. They got it down really well, and the trees definitely would be way to tall if they actually represented them fully(and then maybe it would have been worth $80)
I hate to be a big whiner for Star Wars set but damn the lack of ponchos is a slap in the face with this set. Endor Luke’s first release since the very first wave in 1999 and he has a shockingly inaccurate design. It’s supposed to be his black Jedi outfit with a poncho overtop and helmet, that’s all they had to do. Reuse the ROTJ Luke from the Imperial Shuttle, put the existing Endor helmet on, reuse the poncho piece from Shuttle Tydirium. The prints are okay but it looks incomplete, especially for that price. I suppose it’s easy enough to swap out the arms, legs and keep the waist piece.
I'd like to point out that you can get Indian Jones "Escape from the Lost Tomb" and "Fighter Plane Chase" both together for less money than this one set! And Indiana Jones is also a licensed theme owned by Disney.
I have to agree. The lack of dual molded legs in star wars compared to other themes at this point is ridiculous. It’s not like Lego isn’t making some of these color combos already.
Not being youtuber, I could not put forward my work but I had preceded you when you resumed the diorama of the pursuit of the star of death by assembling several boxes. I used 10 of them. For this set, we would almost have to take 3 but make trees really bigger because this is ridiculous. It looks like twigs.
The argument could be made that the camo poncho's were removed so the figures could sit flush with the bike. I have no problem with the removal of the camo poncho piece, but in doing so your right, they definitely should have made dual molded legs/arms.
Very professional! Love the review improvements over the years! Will you do a set comparison video too? With the other endor sets that contain speeder bikes, perhaps?
100% agree that at this point we really should be getting more on our minifigs, it's harder each day for Lego to justify their laziness. That being said, imo Luke and Leia don't look bad, just mediocre which is sad to see. Definitely will wait for a deal on this but for a fair price it's a must for those of us who like Lego for display.
Wait this is no released yet, how the hell did you get it this early? Nice review as always. Lego is crazy for this prices man, and then they don even really deliver with figs... so shameless. Pd: Are you doing a review of the other new diorama The Emperor throne room fight? I'm reeeally eyeing that one
Look at this my boy snatched up some Canadian Lego? So epic Lego has not even reviled this set yet! The LAN members will not get to review this set for a month or more 😂👏🏻🙌🏻 What a win! 🔥
I'm really hoping they make a diorama based on Ben Kenobi and Vader's duel from Episode IV. I'd love to have a diorama for the final duel of each movie of the original trilogy.
Honestly we need the duel on mustafar and the duel of the fates as dioramas
I wonder if it would work to use the hallway from the Dark Trooper set as the Vader/Obi-Wan Duel?
and it would be the perfect scale to, the way the scene lines up with the size the dioramas usually are
With the Vader from episode 4 and an accurate body.
Patience Paul, in time Disney Corporation will remove all the dollar bills from your wallet.
*MandR: Casually reviews a set LEGO hasn’t revealed yet* 👀
I mean it’s already in stores 🤷♂️
Lol
My thoughts exactly
He has mentioned in previous videos about reviewing a Lego set early.
Ye
If they used the cape piece that obi wan had in the Inquisitor Transport ship, then the figures would have looked much better
Highly disagree. That cape piece has one big flaw and that it doesn't stay down. It pretty much hangs in the air and covers nothing
@@palpatinerocks3260 yup I bend it under the arm and then it stays down but it tears a bit
@@palpatinerocks3260 wet it, then fold it into place and have something hold it there until it dries, its similar to what you have to do on action figure cloaks that are stiff
No.
Agreed. It’s always cool getting minifigs with capes/clothing.
It would have been nice to also get hairpieces for Luke and Leia. While not being fully accurate to the scene as they were wearing helmets for most of it, would have been nice for play, and to get an extra copy of Luke’s new hair piece
i love legos
i just think it’s too overpriced in general
“It would have been nice for play” …it’s an 18+ collectors diorama?
It doesn't come with them? That's ridiculous too me
Even though it is an 18+ diorama set, i do agree with you it would have been nice to have that included, not just for play but also for just making it how you want.
Good review! Lego is really pushing our boundaries with these prices. I’ll pass until it’s $60 or less
Not even 60$.
50$ at least 40$ if your lucky
Worth bout 45 max, gross exploitations of the customer base on to many sets these days.
@@brendan7094the piece count alone shows its worth at least 60 lol

I remember getting the speeder bikes in 1999. Really cheap set back in the day.

That speeder design is really sleek. I hope we get to see it again if we get more Endor sets in the future

not paying that muh for so little. Lego has to step back on those prices.
Or at least up the quality of the figures to the high standard they proclaim in these 18+ sets.

Thanks for this early review 👍🏼
You bet!
I wish this was the Throne set review, but props getting this one early! Please tell me you have the Throne Room review coming soon 😁
It’s so disappointing that there isn’t a poncho included in the set 😕
Feel like a printed poncho is better than one that doesn´t want to go down
@@gamingwatch5054 yes I agree a one like the recent obi wan poncho would be bad but a re release/remake of the 2015 poncho would’ve been perfect
I still need that fabric piece for that Leia that came in the 2015 shuttle. Would have been great if they gave us new fabric pieces
I think the set itself looks quite good. $80 is too expensive though
why are those dioramas so expensive? Gray platform was cheaper and had just as much bulk and volume to it.
The one thing i like that he still does with his videos is he uses his old room in the background of the thumbnail

To be fair there are no stickers, only prints. You are right that for a small set with a half-assed Luke and Leia this is unacceptable.
The must have just not thought about the way the Minifigures look in the film 😂
Fully agree with you comments on the figs. I’ve been pretty frustrated with the lack of consistency between lego doing dual molded legs and not doing them. Luke in this set particular leaves a lot to be desired
I swear, those diorama's only exist to up prices even more because in general people are somehow still obsessed by piece counts.
So overpriced my soul hurts. However I do like the dynamic look of the model. I'm definitely tweaking this model after I buy it massively discounted lol.
Man that’s really sad that the torso of the 1999 Luke is more accurate to the film that this year’s. It’s just outdated.
Damn bro Lego hasn’t even revealed it. This man is him fr
I feel like the price includes 20dollars for the manual. To be honest even 60 seems too much for the quality we get.
Having a quote tile that read "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH" would have made that $80 price point much more understandable
Ah yes, „quick jam their com link, center switch”, such a memorable quote. Really up there with „I am your father” or „do, or do not. There is no try”. Totally worth putting on a display plaque.

This one might be where you buy the build on the secondary market. Love that speeder bike design and coloring.
Yeah can’t get pass the color, dark brown is too iconic to change unfortunately
I think Leia would have really benefited from having dual molded legs. With Luke I understand that maybe it's hard for Lego to print a light color over black so I would personally think the best option would to mold the base color of the belt the same as the uppbody and mold the legs in black.
You can't put this next to the Yoda's Hut diorama and say this is a good set. The difference for $10 more is astronomical.
I am falling out of love with these dioramas. They seem to be overpriced dust collectors.

Think about this…the inquisitor ship is 20 bucks more than this…
I'm more concerned about LEGO using the illegal building technique for pedals.
This is the best set we could’ve gotten for return of the Jedi? Cmon Lego, what about the Endor bunker!
No ponchos? Lego is so cheap nowadays. I usually gauge prices by price per piece because I really don’t see why a licensed Luke should be expensive.
Wow definitely a mixed bag for sure. I’ll get it but waiting for a sale price. No way I can validate spending 80 bucks on that.
