I think this set is really good but the only thing that weakens it is when it came out. I think they should’ve released this the same month or after the show releases because i find this build so interesting but the mini figures okay. I just wish it came out when the show will so we can care about them more when we first get the set. I’ll probably pick this set up after I watch the show.
Yeah it felt like a really odd time to release it but also given how bad the review bombing and relentless online hate was for The Acolyte, maybe Lego wanted to get ahead of it with this?
@@2bricks Yeah, that could be their reasoning. I personally found Acolyte to be okay and I think it’s overhated but a lot of the stuff was poorly structured.
Yeah, but in the same way that Solo was an innocent victim of the outrage surrounding The Last Jedi, I think they’re very wary of the same thing happening to skeleton Crew, and getting some merch out there before anyone has had time to form any opinions one way or the other might be a way to do it
Request for the inevitable (hopefully) 2 Bricks mod: •Removable roof like The IT-S Resistance Transport . This alone would solve many issues. •Minimization of Technic structure and play feature to what’s essential •Upper rear cargo space •Upper front crew area •Replace projectile launchers •Some indication of a view port at front of ship and Jod’s compartment
@@TheFirstCurse1 It reminds me of the Dune ornathopter where a majority of the hull is a technic build. Both look great as display pieces despite the lack of play features
@@2bricks Also I have a question: For your mocs, will you be exlusively be sticking to starships and starfighters or will you ever delve into ground vehicles such as the Turbo tank?
I definitely don’t have any limits on what I will build, I just happen to be particularly drawn to starships and the like :) I want to build a Black Pearl soon, so that’s something a bit different! (Still a ship though admittedly haha)
Built it, I dig it. I think if I was going to change a part of the design, I’d try to make the sitting area “floating” with rails to pop it out. I also think they could have designed the cockpit so the pilot isn’t laying down. I like the gimmick with the engines, I don’t think it hampers the design as much as the structure itself does.
great review man! I am trying to decide between this and the AT-TE walker, after watching this, I’m leaning more towards the walker now. 😅 thank you! :)
Thanks for the feedback!! For what it’s worth I think the AT-TE was the better of the 2 sets so you’re instincts are right there! I had a blast playing around with mine before I mercilessly destroyed it to spread its parts into other mocs 😂
I think it’s actually SM-33 like a play on “Smee”, Captain Hook’s right hand man! Yeah I wondered in the video too why he wasn’t included and perhaps we may get another skeleton crew set!
Yeah, I know some folks really don’t like stickers, I personally don’t mind them that much especially for being able to reuse the pieces underneath by removing the stickers
Nice!! I think I heard it on space dock or one of those other sci-fi ship channels when I was watching everything I could about the stinger mantis for research and it just stuck in my head :D
Nice review, and i understand your frustration - I also think the set looks great, but the playability is compromised. I think I'd be going for a "gentle mod" by simply adding the equivalent of one additional bricks worth of height from the landing gear up, just to open up a few more options without radically changing the proportions. Anyway, thanks for review
Cheers for your thoughts!! I might make a moc of this ship once the show is out, or just mod the set, we will see! But the trailer looks great so hopefully there will be a lot of enthusiasm around the set, letting Lego know there is no harm in taking risks with sets based on unfamiliar parts of the IP (*cough* Jedi fallen order, Andor, Acolyte, Star Wars Outlaws *Cough*)
We Neet Jak and Daxter Videos Please! I for one would be delighted if everyone votes for the Lego Ideas Jak and Daxter set from 2Bricks! Come one yall!

You might come to hate the characters if the show's as bad as most of the other ones.
@TheFirstCurse1 I dunno, I think this will be a good one
Ngl, the Jude Law minifig is almost more perfect as a John McClane minifig. Can't wait to do a Die Hard MOC with that lol
@@lester44444 oh daaamn! You’re right!
I love how many weapons and turrets it has. It's a cool looking ship. Hopefully the show is good.
Yeah! I’m very excited about the show, I have a good feeling!

I think once the show is out I might do some modifications - the trailer got me hyped!!
I didn't realize how much space the technic mechanism compromised the set.
@@TheFirstCurse1 It reminds me of the Dune ornathopter where a majority of the hull is a technic build. Both look great as display pieces despite the lack of play features
@@Angryegg387 Yeah that's exactly what it's like.
this feels like the bad batch shuttle - A one-off set to get the entire crew but nothing more
Yeah that makes sense and in that case
I’m glad that they didn’t cheap out and hold back a couple of characters to put in another set!

@@2bricks they didn't put the droid in which is a real shame as I like him and adding the rat in his eye would be funny 😅
@AstralisAway I agree, I really hope we get an SM-33 soon!!

Good thoughts! I’d have liked a removable play compartment, would have helped a lot to get rid of most of my issues with the set I think!
I did not want this set before...
But this convinced me to get it next month.
Awesome! I hope you love it!!

There's a ships robot sm 66 I wonder why that wasn't included

Great review. Thanks 😄👍🏻
Thanks! I’m so glad to hear it!
@@2bricks Since you are such an awesome moc builder, your opinion about other sets is super valuable 👍🏻
I wish all stickers were printed on some Lego pieces
Yeah, I know some folks really don’t like stickers, I personally don’t mind them that much especially for being able to reuse the pieces underneath by removing the stickers
This heavily reminds me of the Star Citizen Catapilar.
The offset cockpit especially, and the general vibe are quite similar.
Oh I can totally see it!! Yeah
I have never heard anybody use the term "hero ship" except me from my other review channel. Awesome.
Nice!! I think I heard it on space dock or one of those other sci-fi ship channels when I was watching everything I could about the stinger mantis for research and it just stuck in my head :D
An Ucs Onyx Cinder would be really cool, dont you think?
I do think!!

If the show is good, I think you'll have to make a much bigger version of this. 😅
Just found your channel, thanks for the detailed review! Love your intro :)
No way it’s Goldenninja3000 love your Harry Potter reviews
Thank you!!! And if user-pz7obyt4u is to be believed, I’ll have to check out your channel as well!!

Come one yall!
2bricks I won’t lie, but your voice reminds me of Obi-Wan Kenobi’s voice! 😁 Do people ever tell you this, just wondering?
I’m blushing haha - no I’ve never heard that comparison but I like it 😁
Not Ewan McGregor but the manner of speech is a bit like Alec Guinness.
where is the pilot droid?????
Surprised you haven’t reviewed Jedi Bob’s Starfighter! Would’ve thought that would be right up your street!
hopefully kids smaller hands will make it easier t play with?
I think that’s likely the case yeah! They have less dexterity though so who knows :/
Hmmmm ... no SM-33, a bit of a deal breaker for me.
Yeah I thought he’d be a fairly small part of the show given his omission but he’s in it like…a whole lot 😳
Hate to say this but I think you convinced me to NOT buy this set! My wallet and wife thank you! 😂
lol that’s what I’m here for! To help folks decide what they would and wouldn’t like to spend their money on!
Knights of ren ship but better but also kind of mid
Haha that’s a great way to describe it
Ortolan
Interesting that they specifically called out that Neel is a new species! He literally looks *exactly* like an Ortolan 🤔
I get STRONG Serenity from Firefly vibes, but with more turbines and a reoriented cockpit.
Interesting interpretation!
@2bricks speaking of that, how goes that build? Any updates?
