with the current pieces available and new ones being released each year, it would probably be a bit easier now to increase the accuracy of the front shape. It's interesting that 2019 to 2025 is the longest period without a new playscale Snowspeeder set (previous sets having come out in 1999-2004-2007-2010-2013-2014-2019)
Brick vault has quite really the most accurate designs available, it’s crazy how lego just seems not to want to make accurate vehicles and instead decides to overprice simple builds.
@@definitely_just_floating I've had an eye on Brickvault's playscale-UCS-hybrid Millennium Falcon for a while. Might grab the instructions the next time there's a sale - I downloaded the Bricklink parts list for that model and discovered that I already have almost all of the parts required in my collection. I'd only need to order like a hundred or so more. I'll make sure to take a look at their snowspeeders as well. My biggest gripe with many MOCs is that they often go for accuracy in looks over stability. In my MOCs, I always strive to find the perfect balance between the two.
@@definitely_just_floatingthey do it for playability. But the best part of lego will always be that you can build anything out of it. And I rather do that.
I hate this take so much. I’ve heard it time and time again and it doesn’t hold up. Just because you’re putting a gritty WHITE piece of equipment up against a literal snow white background doesn’t mean it’s grey, it’s just contrasting. Even if it’s slightly grey in color it still doesn’t match the lego light grey color. At most they should use the very light grey that was used for the Mindstorms NXT. I think the light grey works perfectly for the AT-AT, and the snowspeeder is definitely lighter than that.
I was lucky enough to find 2 of the 2019 Anniversary Snowspeeder at 50% off at my local supermarket. Can never have enough pilots (spare Luke figures get scavenged for parts). I wouldn't have bought that set at the RRP of 40€ but at 20€ each, it was a very good deal. Especially considering it had the Lando anniversary figure with that beautiful cape - which conveniently also obscures the huge "20" print on the back of the torso. I just swapped the head and hairpiece, and now I have an ESB Cloud City Lando without having had to spend 300+ on the Cloud City UCS playset.
01:53! Yes!!!!!!! I’ve been saying this for years! Snowspeeders aren’t white they’re shades of grey, like pretty much every Star Wars ship including the X Wing and the Imperial Shuttle. But all three ships LEGO always do in white! 🤬🤣 I’m actually currently doing a MOC version of the UCS Imperial shuttle…..in light bluish grey! Cheaper sourcing grey parts. Might not be the right shade of grey but it’s the closest shade LEGO have colour wise, plus, it’s not white at least! 😂
For me, it’s the shape of the canopy. The way they Old X-Wing canopy that they have been using is so raked back just isn’t accurate. The rear of the Cockpit for the tailgunner has the Right shape but the front is just too sloped back.
you're completely right - in the next version, they need to ditch that canopy and make a new one, which would hopefully allow for a more accurate shape overall
Lego switching from Proper Dark & Light grey to the terrible looking Bluish Greys was the start of this problem. Lego is just too worried about Exclusive Figures, frivolous details, and anything else that can drive the price up. Also RR Slugger wants his vid back lol
If LEGO loves the original trilogy and remakes so much, why not fix this? Maybe the next version would or the one after that. Lego loves to remake original trilogy sets so this would be made
The biggest Snowspeeder problem, is that we haven't gotten one in the past five years! And the last one goes for over $100!
Nah we should get 863rd landspeeder there's so little sets of it😂
I got the one that released alongside the at at on my birthday with the at at

Lego getting rid of very light gray is the biggest problem.
could you point me to sets which included this colour? I've seen it on LDD but never in real life

I agree, it’s white, just a bit glossy so it looks grey in light

Are they gray? Yes. Do we need ANOTHER og trillogy gray ship? No.
Yep you said it 5 seconds after I wrote this comment. Oof.

I wish they'd fix the E-Web problem. Why the hell do we need so many variations of it?! 😕

100% agree! How the heck are you the first person to address this?

The ghost is another ship they make in white which is actually gray

I learn something new every time I watch one of these videos
nice video keep up the good work hope to see more like it in the future
also the markings are red not orange im like 90% sure
this is the same issue with the x wing lol
For the love of god, just get to the point!
complaining as always
"As always," huh?
