Every time I see this set I kick myself for not buying it when it was on shelves. I wanted it really badly but didn't have enough space to display it at the time.
I missed it when it came out too, I wasn’t collecting when it came out so I actually bought mine aftermarket on bricklink. Somehow I got a decent price because it’s really skyrocketed
this set single-handedly relit my interest in lego! once i turned 13-14 i didn’t care for legos anymore but once i bought that set in 2020 (i was 22) i was re hooked! i love this set
I saw this modication on Rebrickable a couple of days ago and I thought it looked amazing. Am I glad I picked up a sealed one of this bad boy last year.
I just found this set in one of my storage boxes and started putting it back together since some of the pieces were broken yesterday. Perfect timing to find this video so I can make it even better!
I did this same thing to my 20th Anniversary Slave I!! I really wasn't a fan of the boxy look of it so I smoothed the front section out with some 2X4 slope curved bricks, and faded some of the detail that connected to some boxier sections with smaller slopes and wedges. Love how yours turned out and that you were able to fit so many characters in the cockpit!
So happy i got this set, hardly any more expensive than msrp (10 or 15€ more) even tho its already 5 years old. Was really surprised it didn’t skyrocket in price yet. Its got to be one of the best looking and coolest Lego Star Wars sets of all time.
It’s really skyrocketed in America, I think mostly due to the name change controversy from Disney. It’s such a good tho, the shape of the exterior is very well done
@@BAUFmanBricks I’ve looked at eBay (Kleinanzeigen) which is an extra platform apart from eBay, and found it brand new in box for 130€ (instead of 119€ Msrp). Of course you have to look it up more often but sometimes you’ll get a good deal there, its not like every set of these is still cheap but i was pleasantly surprised as many of the other sets that are end of lineup skyrocket into crazy price spheres in no times. Btw you do amazing builds, i personally leave my sets as they are but your tie fighter for example is 10/10 perfect i wish lego would do one like that.
I definitely love your style man. I really really appreciate the perfect union of playscale and UCS in your designs! That is always what I'm looking for when I buy a set to build, or if I buy one simply to modify it, knowing it won't be too much of a stretch to build off LEGO's good foundation.
NICE! I echo the fans' applause here. Your videos have great editing, as you pull in classic clips from Star Wars shows. The Force is wirh you. I vote for Sandcrawler next! 🤓
Fantastic mod! I imagine that like many people here, ever since @brickupgrade posted their mod of 75243 two years ago (but sadly has not made instructions available to date), I have been eagerly waiting for someone as talented as you to come up with similar but equally awesome interior mods and share these with the rest of us who have been chomping on the bit to add these upgrades. Thanks so much for making the instructions. I for one am a big fan of the ethos for your channel you mention, and really look forward to seeing your future projects
Ya it’s brickupgrade’s video that made me see the potential in the set and I then I bought it after market. I wasn’t going to buy it because I didn’t think it was possible, but his video gave me a good look inside. That’s awesome you have been keeping track since then. I’m shocked at the traction my videos have gotten. I have been meaning to share my builds for a while now and thought they would just get a handful of slow views because it’s so niche
There seems to be increasing interest out there for both detail and playability at non-UCS prices - as you will know, designers like 2bricks have been leading the charge on this. I'm grateful that you have brought your creativity into this area now too. Personally, I'd love to see your take on upgrading the 75094 Tydirium
Funny you mention that, my next video is going to be the most recent imperial shuttle. Not the tyridium, but it’s a similar size with my mod. Was able to get a very smooth result
This is just amazing. I recently watched the Book of Boba Fett, and I'm just feeling "dreckig" (it literally means dirty, but like in the term of you feel bad) that I didn't buy the set as it was available for that time. But as the force wants it my buddy gifted me this set early for birthday ,as he is in Japan for May. I wanted to make it a little more accurate to the Movies/Series; and imma be honest with you, that shit is amazing. Can't wait to get the parts and build it in may. Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪
I am recreating most of BAUFman's builds. I love his designs. I prefer to use Pick a Brick for the guarantee of fresh pieces. Also got a good deal on a used set for 50 bucks, so I am excited to build it once my pieces come in!
Oh awesome! Ya I sourced all my bricks for this build on Pick a Brick, but I can’t reliably recommend it since their inventory can vary. I try to use very common pieces so most times pick a brick will cover it
@@BAUFmanBricks Fair point, I have also had my issues with PAB. I do appreciate the convenience of you making these out of common pieces. I just bought practically all of the pieces to your Imperial Shuttle. The only piece unavailable without a good alternative on PAB was the big white printed vent piece (easy enough to find for an affordable Bricklink price). I also like to use PAB when there is a gift with purchase that it would count for. The way I see it, I’m getting those fresh pieces for an amazing design and an extra set I can sell, and recoup some of the cost. The shuttle cost a little over 100 to buy all the pieces for. Worth every penny. Once all of the pieces for your designs are in, I’m going to buy the instructions and have an amazing summer. Thanks again!
Really well done and I think it is scaled much better than the UCS one and looks smoother and with better part usage (I hate the lazy stacking of the 90° round bricks they did) AND correct cockpit arrangement.
Thanks! Ya, before I bought my set I researched if it would be possible to modify it because I knew I wanted to change it a little bit - tho this is one of Lego's better builds
@@BAUFmanBricks Did the exact same approach with the last TIE and AT-ST. Built them in studio, modded them, looked up what the extra parts would cost me, then bought it. Wanted to do it with an Imperial Shuttle too, but the current model is just too far off to easily mod without practically replacing every part.
I have the Imperial Shuttle modded, I plan on making instructions and video for it as well. It’s a little smaller than minifigure scale, but larger than what Lego made and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out
Finally someone who agrees with me that BOB is not Boba Fett! 😂 🎉 At least in Legends Boba went on to do great things and still be awesome. Seriously though, I think your MOC is awesome. I have my own Slave 1 set and I’m thinking of giving it an interior myself.
Awesome mods! Really hope we get a jango slave 1 in this scale with updated minfig (armprints) soon or a UCS version because i missed the first. Hopefully they dont release one in 75312 scale.. it looks ok on his own but cant put it to other ships without looks like microfighter.
Exactly, I’m not interested in that miniature scale, it’s too small to modify into anything functional. However, I worry Lego is going to make more of those kind of ships, like the y-wing in the Yavin base set
I think Boba Fett has always been a mix of badass and cheesy, one minute he's riding a Rancor and the next he's escorting a bunch of George Lucas-esque coklour coded speeder kids :D
I feel like they did a good job in Mando though, it felt like a continuation of a morally gray guy you don’t want to cross. Book of Boba had a different feel entirely
I would love to have this build but good grief at the prices! I went from MP Transformers to LEGO after my college student son wanted a set to build. I thought it would be cheaper but I guessed wrong
Can you do a B wing next? The ucs one is cool but the last playscale one sucked. Would love to see you either modify the 75050 b wing set or do your own version of the B wing! Ideally with rotating cockpit. Or how about an expanded universe accurate E Wing? The one in the recent Ashoka show, that was released as a set, isn’t an E Wing IMHO. I grew up on the expanded universe and in it the the E wing is much more heavily armoured and armed than it appears in the show, including secreting it’s astromech within the hull of the ship and having a third canon atop the cockpit!
B-wing is one of my favorites and is definitely on my short list, hopefully I will get to it this year. I would love to add an E-wing to my Blue Squadron as well, but is a little lower on my list. But yes, it sounds like you have similar taste in Stat Wars ships
I really like the UCS Slave 1 but I have never owned it and I don’t have any UCS sets. I am not sure how it’s constructed but I would think it could potentially be at least 2-4 studs wider inside the frame interior than my play scale set.
@@BAUFmanBricks gotcha, and same here, I've always been more into modulars and buildings. I remember when it and the ucs x wing and tie fighter were at toys r Us and that was the first time Lego let bigger sets like that onto retail shelves
This is absolutely incredible! I’m aware you have building instructions, but do you by chance have a list of the extra parts you would need to build this, aside from the parts from the set?
Yes, in a way. On Rebrickable you can view the pieces list, but you are also given the option to subtract from that list with pieces you have. It also allows you to select official lego sets so you only see the pieces you need.
@@BAUFmanBricks gotcha, sounds good. Im definitely interested it what you have made here, so I’ll have to start disassembling the set and making part orders. Also, welcome to the LEGO Star Wars/moc building community!
The interior structure needs to be rebuilt, so it needs to be stripped down before building. It uses 706 pieces from the official lego set and 402 new pieces. Rebrickable allows you to subtract the pieces you have from the parts list.
135$ is the estimate to mod this set? It's a really nice mod but that costs more than the original set retailed for. I really just want to mod the outside so the front of the ship is flush. I don't like the boxy section on the front with the missile launchers. Do you think I can make the front of the ship more flush with just the parts included in the set or without a whole bunch of extra pieces?
The modification should not cost anywhere near $135. It might cost that much if you don’t subtract the original set pieces from the inventory. No, you can’t make it smooth with just the set pieces. You will need to buy sloped curved pieces to smooth the front better
It’s included with the whole Slave 1 build. I didn’t make it a separate build because the stand is custom fit to this build - it won’t work with Lego’s official set
As a very long time LEGO Collector starting back in the early 1970's. I hate how now the cost of the sets are so huge? And how the now film themed sets like star wars or whatever are super pricey even compared to normal LEGO sets!

I was laid off right before quarantine. Others would have picked it up. Missed out on so much because of it😢 finally doing better now.
Skill issue
Same here, I missed out on it too
6:30 i really love your philosophy and plan for this channel, your 2 videos so far are both amazing, very excited to keep up with this channel
Thank you, and glad to see that so many people seem to be on the same page!
I totally agree. This is a good way to make LEGO.
Epic modifications, this guy deserves more subs.
Thank you! Honestly, I did not expect the amount of views and subs I’ve gotten so far
I saw this modication on Rebrickable a couple of days ago and I thought it looked amazing. Am I glad I picked up a sealed one of this bad boy last year.
The production quality in your videos is insane man. Keep it up
These kind of comments are probably my favorite, thank you!
I just found this set in one of my storage boxes and started putting it back together since some of the pieces were broken yesterday. Perfect timing to find this video so I can make it even better!
I love this. I always thought it would be cool if there was something like this, and you did it just about perfectly! Well done!

I like that you used the 1:1 minifig scale Slave
The UCS version is closer to minifigure scale. I would consider this playscale as I think it is os 1/67 scale rather than 1/45
I compared the proportions between the model in Battlefront 2 and the Lego model, and this set is, in my opinion, closer to minifig scale
Do the Lego ghost next!
It’s on the table for the future. The @brickvault playscale Ghost is probably my favorite except the cockpit doesn’t hold enough minifigures
This video is great. Modifications are great, and the display and its connection is perfect.
Thanks a bunch for sharing!
Absolutely, and I’ll be watching your channel because I love seeing the larger scale modifications!

You are a mad genius
I need to know how to make those stands!!!
Would love to see before and after pics.
Before would just be the original set
Hi, I just got done building this and you did a great job designing it. I didn't do the stand (it doesn't really need it)
To anybody interested, it costs about 50 bucks on Pick a Brick for the pieces you need outside of the official set.

Awesome timing, just bought and built this yesterday, was wondering what mods i could try 😁
That’s awesome! Ya I bought this set after market as well. I watched Brickupgrade and researched other ideas to see what was possible
Great vid! Was that bespin art in the background your own creation or did you find it online? if so where?
It’s my own design. I made it using only pieces from Lego Art Project 21226. I’d like to one day maybe do Tatooine and Endor
Dude, you should work for LEGO. that's how 18+ models should be done.
Looks great!

Yeah. Sometimes Disney canon contradicts itself LOL At least with Lego we can make our own canon. I wonder what else you got in store.
Amazing🎉🎉

The small $50 set? I didn’t get that one, just way too small for my taste. It would be extremely tough making that more functional
would love to see that modified lambda shuttle you have in your channel banner!
It’s definitely getting its own video and instructions as well
if you have the most recent imperial shuttle that lego made I'd love to see a modification video of that

funny i did a similar mod on my 20th slave 1 just some weeks ago
Thanks and great shape !
Thanks! You know it was your slave 1 videos that convinced me I could modify the interior of the set and I bought a used Slave 1 because of that
How much rebuilding and how many extra pieces are needed are required for this mod?

Such a cool moc, did you know the Slave 1 was inspired by an old iron?
I don’t think I knew that actually, but ya I see it haha
can you do this with the UCS slave 1?
You should go check out @SlimboneLSWC as he modified the UCS Slave 1 with a much better interior

Haha, I’m surprised it took this long for this comment to appear
@@BAUFmanBricks I was being sarcastic for sure but how stupid to change the best ship name in the entire series
As a very long time LEGO Collector starting back in the early 1970's. I hate how now the cost of the sets are so huge?
And how the now film themed sets like star wars or whatever are super pricey even compared to normal LEGO sets!
Just seems to me that they are greedy at LEGO company and they know some fans will and do spend silly amounts of cash to own the newest sets even if they sell for Hundreds of Pounds.
I mean look at the star wars LEGO Millennium Falcon, the set costs almost £600 For a set which is not that much pieces amount wise that at least half are special bricks just made for that set.
Just really a huge rip off by LEGO, they are and have been the worlds top selling Toy for over 70 years. They could sell the sets for 10% what they do now and still be rolling in billions.
I do find it highly suspect when sets do not feature unique molded pieces or minifigures. For example, I like the new midi-scale ships but they don’t seem very unique or exclusive with their pieces, shouldn’t they drop a bit in price compared to other sets?
