Lego really should have given back printing to every astromech droid since they first did it with R2-D2 We won't see this droid again for 10+ years if ever so we won't ever see it with back printing
I agree, many unique droids have released since they first did that for R2 that will likely never get again or atleast in a long time. I love collecting new Astromechs so back printing would have made this one different enough from the original. They should also include the best versions of C3PO in every set too.
I really don’t see the big deal. Would it be nice? I mean obviously, but I’m being completely honest I’ve never found myself yearning for astromech droid back printing
Starting from 2023 I have never bought Lego from the Lego store unless it’s on sale. Most of my purchases are from Walmart clearance and amazon crazy 20% to 40% off. That is the only way I can justify spending on LEGO because holy shit this things are getting 5 to 10 USD bumps every 6 months. Worst part, the builds are smaller, minifigs come with lesser detail and everything to add detail on the builds are fucking stickers.
The last time I bought anything from the official site was the preorder for the Horizon Zero Dawn Tallneck because I knew it would get sold out instantly and Portugal takes an eternity to get newer sets on discount. Still my favourite set to this day and an insane deal at 1200+ pieces for €80 (with arm printing, huge scale, new molds) so unless there's something else of similar quality, count me out
I only buy from the official website during may the 4th week. I get discounts and prize for purchases but I only buy stuff I can't find in any other place. Since I know I can't get them otherwise or at a discount outside of using my points or it being discontinued. For example, this year I'd buy the AT-TE and the sith infiltrator since no local or online retailer that delivers in mj area has them. Last time I did that with the walmart exclusives as my walmart in mexico doesn't really have em. And got a droid carrier along with my purchase for free. And enough points to get 2 smaller sets for free next year. That's the only way I'll ever buy directly from them... but with these prices I'm getting wary about this hobby.
When will we have : 1. The Jedi Council Set 2. A Gungan Battle pack (Boss Nass would be a great Fig too) 3. A royal Naboo Starship 4. Utapau Airborne Troopers and other ep.III clone Battlepacks 4. More Ep.I sets! ( A new Podracer, trade federations starship, and all
Nice vid man! keep em up, just a frienldy tip maybe when uploading put timestamps for the unboxing and timelaps and use lego poles to review the minifigs, keep up the good stuff hope to see more in the future
Cool set. Minifigures is okey but the price is terrifying.... Moreover, LEGO don't print the back side of astromechs, except R2-D2, of course, and it's strange and weird. What's so hard about doing this? I think I'll buy this set, although in Russia the price will be more higher, of course, than in Europe😢.
Nice review, cant believe you got one already. I would like to note however, that the outro music is unexpectedly loud in comparison to your voice. Bit of a shock haha
The prices from Lego got too high in my opinion. Ye, sure, inflation and all, but the reality is that Lego is not a necessity, if people need other things they simply won't buy Lego. I personally started to buy stuff just on discount, never on full price because the prices are just too high and they are also cheapen out on things like prints, the arc-170 has stickers on the windshield and that is very greedy and it looks cheap in my opinion.
I don't understand why they made a new windscreen. It's very inaccurate. The previous windscreen was specifically made for the Eta-2 Interceptor and was the perfect shape.
For this price, both figs should have cmf detail level, the astromech should have back printing ,everything should have been printed and another 5 random clones should be in there. They have gone too far this is madness.
This is why I quit Lego star wars. The prices are stupid these days and the franchise itself is crap. Honestly seeing what Lego is putting out I'm not even missing out. The only problem is I now have £30000 of Lego Star wars I don't want.
I really hope no one buys ashoka's fighter or the arc until amazon puts a discount on them. If ppl give in then next wave they will jack up the prices by 5 dollars again! PLEASE VOTE WITH YOUR WALLET!!
cool i will not buy this set until it is on sale and the new cockpit piece is stupid and they should have used the ones like on every other interceptor EVER
Lego are so embarrassed of the price they haven't listed them as pre-order or coming soon in aus yet. $77aud probably rounded to $80 for a star fighter lol. I will pass.
What a letdown, flimsy cockpit that is inacurate aswell (the round, front part of the cockpit stays on the ship when opening in the movies) and a hefty price tag of 45
You say that like that hasn't always been the case? Literally every printed cockpit done for Lego Star Wars since its start in '99 has had problems with color matching.
I think this is the first ever online review of the new set, which is crazy. He also released the first review for the ARC-170!!
he has the pram AND 4+ set too, look at the background at 3:36
And the acclamator and the home one
This channel bout to go through the roof
He usually gets reviews out before everyone else
@@Maddenhawk cause he is a seller^^
For 45 $ not giving the astromech droid a back print and the cockpit being completly loose for no reason is crazyyyy.
Should've been $30
yea the 2 new sets couldve been so much better (printed cockpit for the arc 170 and a tight cockpit on the starfighter)
@@OBC24-q8h i wouldn't buy it at $25 lmao
Lego really should have given back printing to every astromech droid since they first did it with R2-D2
We won't see this droid again for 10+ years if ever so we won't ever see it with back printing
you don't get it, that would cost them 0,001 cent per figure, they can't afford that
Dude LEGO is a small family business they don't have that kind of money

They always avoid making "perfect" figures just to leave room for even better ones in future

Ikr like with Jedi bobs Star fighter i just bought it last week from target because it was 33% off
I don't mind stickers at times but man with these prices I'd at least expect some printed elements
@@Makocat yeah I agree with you

I swear he's gonna get a set from 2026 before it's finalized somehow.
Seeing just this one guy review all the sets a month early is so funny to me
The color offset between the two cockpits wtf
I hope someone does a lego tutorial mod to fix the cockpit problem for this set
Thankfully they utilized some of the speed champion pieces to make the fighter look more screen accurate. Hopefully we get Anakin's Clone wars ETA-3.
Why doesn't LEGO give all Astromech droids back prints?
If they raise prices, they should make high quality sets.
When will we have :
1. The Jedi Council Set
2. A Gungan Battle pack (Boss Nass would be a great Fig too)
3. A royal Naboo Starship
4. Utapau Airborne Troopers and other ep.III clone Battlepacks
4. More Ep.I sets! ( A new Podracer, trade federations starship, and all
It's a fine set but I wouldn't be comfortable paying any more than $20 for it.
Well I had my reservations about the new cabin model of this set, but I'm glad the piece is printed
Nice vid man! keep em up, just a frienldy tip maybe when uploading put timestamps for the unboxing and timelaps and use lego poles to review the minifigs, keep up the good stuff hope to see more in the future
Arc 170 first day buy but ahsoka I’ll get when it’s cheaper
Woah like i said last time cool build but a kidney worth price
4:22 oooh I didn’t realize those were speed champion pieces. That’s a very clever use of

This is one of the reasons I quit the hobby recently
Wow they managed to ruin both functionality and accuracy at the same time😂
I don't understand why they made a new windscreen. It's very inaccurate. The previous windscreen was specifically made for the Eta-2 Interceptor and was the perfect shape.
Exactly my thoughts. The old cockpit piece is so much better
Luke, did I ever tell you about Ahsoka Tano?
Like a constant porno Luke. It was surreal.
… and she was a good friend. 😂
Maybe I just need to get used to it, but the new cockpit piece looks very strange. Definitely prefer the older version
Yeah I prefer the old cockpit piece so much better but this one is fine
Acclamator please!
Prices of LEGO SW are nowadays crazy... Tho i will definitely get it in sale for those amazing minifigs. :)
The old cockpit looks better, I hope they change it back to the og one.
Agreed, more accurate too as the back of the canopy is not canonically smooth like this build is.
I do think the microphone volume is a bit low
For this price, both figs should have cmf detail level, the astromech should have back printing ,everything should have been printed and another 5 random clones should be in there. They have gone too far this is madness.
And the £70 dessert skiff wasn't far enough? Seriously? The last skiff was £35
@ I thought it was 80?💀 Nah they‘ve gone too far back in 2020 with that 80 bucks grievous fighter already, I just liked the Dooku quote yk
@@GreenNinj4it is a good quote
how are you guys allowed to review so quick?? damn
Nice Anakin Minifigure,. although the 2020 version was already perfect
Bro lives in future
fuckyeah thanks for covering things set!!
Lego please bring back sticker’s for the mini figures.
Do you also have the new knightbus for review?
not yet, but all the other HP novelties will follow after Star Wars
@jbspielwaren-en that's amazing, thank you for sharing.
WOW
I think this is the first time those wings were stickers, I think the original were printed
thats just wrong
Good video
If this set included a terrain build, would that justify the $10 dollar increase (American)?
Hey could you possibly maybe potentially leak the store or location where you got these sets from????? I'd love to pick them up early myself lol
Already!?
Finally!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉

the new piece is so much more accurate and looks better, why don’t you like it?

I will pass.
speak up your outro is way too loud and youre too quiet love you content
What a letdown, flimsy cockpit that is inacurate aswell (the round, front part of the cockpit stays on the ship when opening in the movies) and a hefty price tag of 45
New from Lego star wars, plo koons jedi Starfighter with two minifigures for only £99.99
@jdstudios1912 What a steal, John Lego is spoiling us
There is rumor for UCS turbo tank coming out
About 9000pieces
@@Alyciapurrot will cost 700 bucks for 200peices
The prints and stcikers not matching the red of the normal pieces is soo lego haha. not worth the money

@ well yes, but it’s 2024 and we have other brands being able to match those prints better. Lego should step up their printing game fr
Exactly like obi wans
For £40 I expected no stickers and a back print on Ashoka’s astromech
