Correction: those mini Japanese sets were actually released in the US too. What makes the ones in the video unique is the Japanese box art with the Kabaya logo.
I've actually done the clone trooper box challenge back in 2008 at lego world Zwolle in the Netherlands. Never knew that this box would be worth so much at the moment
Did you get to keep one? I heard the stores either let the kids keep them or just straight up threw them away after the event. I’m not sure if that’s true tho
@fivelonelyclones nope, in my case. When I finished the challenge I got a golden 4x4 lego piece (the same one you see at the Lego masters TV series) , they of course wanted to save the clones for other children to also be able to do the challenge. They ware just standard clone troopers anyways, what happened to the boxes im not sure. I guess many ware thrown away after the challenge but in some cases the people who ware hosting the challenges saved the boxes, that's probably why there's still some boxes around today
@fivelonelyclones I remember it to be pretty wonky, it walked. But not like an AT-AT would actually walk like in the movies, it more curled side to side, love all your videos btw, true lego star wars fans 🫶
I could have made an honorable mention of the first version of the Malevolence ship, released in 2009 3 years before the normal 2012 set This 2009 version was part of Lego's R2-D2 Quest promotion, where they distributed the official instructions, with the pieces in 3 bags of parts, and the construction resembled a diorama ships like the one we have today, and considering one of the secret Lego Star Wars sets
They probably don't count, but Lego has keychains made with glued together Lego so those miniland figures aren't the only time Lego has sold premade glued together "sets."
The technic line gets too much hate, they're a product of their time and Technic as a whole was still focused on functions and letting you see the moving parts. It's not like today's technic super cars where everything is covered in panels and trying to be realistic.
You have made some extremely interesting discoveries here. Well done! I truly never knew about these sets myself. I don't need to get them, but they are very interesting.
The 3 japanese sets you mentioned were all available in the US as polybags in 2004. I got the tie interceptor and the xwing as gifts from family. The printed pieces they have are very nice.
We actually got those mini sets, though the X-Wing was paired with the TIE Advanced, and the Slave 1 was Jango colors paired with Obi Wan's Jedi Starfighter Actually used to have both those Mindstorms sets as a kid. The other stuff though I never heard of at all
The droid development kit did not come with instructions for the Stap or the sub, just R2. It did however come with a DVD that showed off it and other builds. The motor made it dodge back and forth. It looked fucking sick.
I had the droid kit. I'm sure it's still laying around my childhood home somewhere... Even at the time, it was a very strange set that didn't offer much functionality.
0:40 I think I've seen these sets before in the original lego star wars set dictionary. I'm surprised that none of the other sets in this video were in any of the dictionaries.
Ngl went in assuming I’d know all of these but I had no idea that droid mindstorms set had more builds than just R2. Now I’m gonna try to find pictures of the gungan sub model lol
I’ve seen both the droid and dark side developer kits pop up on FB marketplace recently, both of which are relatively close to where I live, selling for only $60 and $150 respectively lol

The Japanese version is the Western version split in 2 though. I.e Slave I came with Obi Wans‘s Starfighter, the x-wing with vaders tie
I think I have the slave one and the interceptor
Fun fact the kabaya boxes also have gum balls in them which aren’t so bad
I swear I remember seeing that Mindstorms R2-D2 in an old catalog in my Uncle’s LEGO bin when I was little. It just looked too familiar.
I have a catalog like that!!! It announces the R2-D2 or the AT-AT, I forgot.
IT’S THE PERFECTLY SCALE GUY W CRAZYDOG
Weird! The lego star wars podracing bucket is a super weird set, but it's well known so makes sense it didn't make it on the list :D
I actually own that set and was curious about it's obscurity

@fivelonelyclones I also have a friend who owns the motorised AT-AT who bought it back in 1999, very cool set but very ugly
@@jordymulder3181how’s the walking feature compared to the 2007 motorized at-at?

Yeah I think that's something people tend to forget when they look back on old school technic.
The Japanese sets also seem to be the base for the Minikit versions of those ships in Lego Star Wars 2
Guys what if Indiana jones appears in Star Wars?
@ like maybe he would be an Easter egg or a new character
Yeah. I hear the Indiana Jones actor likes Star Wars a lot.
Just stop
He’s in TCS
Have you seen Bombad Bounty or The Quest For R2-D2?
Those micro fighters at the beginning were also at Walmart in Canada like 20 years ago

When I was in Japan earlier this year the back of the Lego sets are cool with all the foreign text. They have exclusive Lego sets there too
i saw those a long time ago and i build the x-wing my self with some parts i had, that inspired me to do custom b-wing as well
I own the Mind storms AT-AT, and yes, the arms move on the Droideka as its feature.
The best thing about collecting is the rare items!

You and M&R Productions would get along great. He knows all the ins and outs of these rare items
I Can prouldly say I have Heart of every Single one of them

Some are actually cool
Need those Japanese sets
never knew about those mindstorms ones
I have that AT-AT Mindstorm set and just recently thought about putting it on the market. Still haven't decided.
I gotta say, I learned new things from this video! Great job!
my friend has that Mindstorms R2D2, ive always passively wondered what it was from. It actually looks pretty good in person.
Ngl went in assuming I’d know all of these but I had no idea that droid mindstorms set had more builds than just R2. Now I’m gonna try to find pictures of the gungan sub model lol
Banger vid
6:27 Actually many chess sets includes glued minifigures
I actually have the mindstorms R2D2 set, but I've never actually found all of the pieces
I’ve seen both the droid and dark side developer kits pop up on FB marketplace recently, both of which are relatively close to where I live, selling for only $60 and $150 respectively lol
The video is about sets most people haven’t seen before not the most valuable sets
@@fivelonelyclonesyea I get that, I was just pointing out how the vid coincided with the amount of listings I’ve seen for those two sets in particular
We driving the prices up of these sets with this one, if they aren’t, already high
I saw the droid developer kit at a thrift store for $70
5:00 so mp7 rules nice pal
I have the Droid Developer kit!
I had the mind storms one
The first one i had when i was a kid. In Sweden
