Right??? I absolutely love this scale for displays in my office or my man cave of a room. These are the adult sets we need. I’m not a fan of dropping $600+ on a UCS set that’ll take up a coffee tables worth of precious space. Preordered mine on announcement day
@@High_Key That's the same reason I started collecting Star Wars Armada miniatures. All beautiful, have stands, and small. Could have a whole battle scene going on.
I really hope LEGO continues with the midi-scale lineup. The helmet series was what got me back into LEGO as a young adult, but ships are honestly cooler and more iconic than helmets IMHO, and at an affordable price-range compared to UCS sets, I think this set will be an easy purchase for me and probably many others. My wish-list for future midi-scale sets would be the Home One from RoTJ as well, maybe the Invisible Hand from RoTS, or the Supremacy Dreadnought from TLJ.
The whole "there are none of these so I bought them all" has definitely irked me with any collectibles, including Lego. Like let other people have one. Oh, you're hoarding them to gouge people in 5 years? Congrats. You're the problem.
@@andypope885 Yeah M and R Productions does this times a hundred and it bugs the heck out of me too. This is why scalpers come in too because they're artificially raising the price by making sets that are plentiful become rare.
David is probably waiting for it to become expensive so he could sell the one or two extras, I doubt MandR would ever sell a single one after buying half the stock.
I might be the odd one out, but I would love this line expanded and don't care in the slightest about minifugures. I just love the ships. A mon cal cruiser would be a dream
I think the price is very well! In my opinion there should be more sets in this price range. We do not need HUGE sets all the time. I think many people can afford those kind of sets.
@@jamesw3413 I think the price is still good. We should not forget that the inflation is hitting every single company, including LEGO. 70$ is a very descent price for this set.
I freaking love this set. It has the quality feel of a UCS set without breaking the bank or requiring you to buy a whole other house just to display your legos. I will definitely be picking this up. Thanks for the concise and informative review!
I agree think it would've been a great gesture to include a minifigure in the set, it would've been a cherry on top have both the ship and a minifigure to collect, and imo would appeal more not only to fans but someone collecting Lego casually or buying a gift for someone. Despite being JUST a figure, I think it would've pushed way more people to want to buy it than the model alone, which is nice of course, but with an addition of a simple figure as a kind of extra "treat" would've went a long way...
I see where you’re coming from, but the one flaw with including a figure is that most, if not all fans would buy it for the figure included. Also I think it would needlessly inflate the price like $10. No offense to you though :)
I literally can’t wait to pick up this set day 1! I think this midi-scale Star Wars set achieves something better than most of the other LEGO Star Wars midi-scale sets, such as the Millennium Falcon… and that’s giving off a UCS Style vibe for just a fraction of the price that a traditional UCS set would cost. I think just the insane detail, accompanied by the fancy plaque really drive this vibe home. Fantastic review David, really appreciated seeing this set compared with all of the other micro-scale LEGO Star Wars sets!
Midi-scale makes SO much sense if they're going to do a lot of capital ships that are just not feasible in the larger scales. I just want them to do as many different capital ships as they can as desk props!
I love this set and the UCS one. Only thing is, i find it a bit annoying that they only did the “bevel” on the top part of the ship, and left the bottom flat. I think the models would look tons better with both top and bottom beveled. Great video man❤
If you have time to complain about the lack of a play feature for kids in a display only set than i respect your opinions but please take them elsewhere. there are plenty of sets coming out this year with cool figs that you can spend your money on instead of spending time and effort shitting on the return of one of the coolest ships in the imperial fleet in my opinion
@@Cowboys3DPrints a really simple criticism that you somehow took personally? Yes, a Star Wars minifigure collector (me, if you can’t tell) wishes that they got ROTJ admirals in the anniversary set? Brainrot.
This set is pretty cool, I hope they make more because I don’t have the money or the space for a UCS set. On the other studded spot on the base you should put a Darth Vader fig! I might pick this up if it is ever on sale.
First off, it looks better here than in the announcement photos. Secondly, as much as I appreciate this review, does anyone else get mildly frustrated that there’s so many reviewers of lego that are gifted the sets by lego, causing the price discussion to sound cheap and lacking of depth and understanding for those of us that can’t get every set that we want cause of price/budgeting restrictions?
eh being poor myself 70 dollars for this set seems pretty reasonable but yes I think there is some bias but agein many who are gifted lego complain about price aswell
This thing is a beauty! As someone with endless love for ESB I really appreciate having an affordable and easy to display Executor set. I know it’s a ROTJ set but Executor is so central to Empire, that it almost feels like a character there, with it’s imposing size and it perfectly represents Darth Vader and the whole Empire as someone who can’t (yet) be defeated. Amazing set for such a classic ship.
Hi David, AFOL here watching from Malaysia and enjoying your "brick-deos". I'm really hoping that Lego would make a mid scale set of the Mon Calamari Home One rebel alliance star cruiser as an "enemy-companion" to this superb Executor. So excited to see how Lego would replicate the smooth surfaces and rounded shapes of Home One, and also include minifigures of Admiral Ackbar and Mon Mothma! Another ship I'm looking forward to is Padme's shiny silver 4-engined cruiser from the opening of Attack of the Clones. That would be such a beauty made from shiny silver Lego pieces! I'm so enjoying your channel and look forward to many more episodes! Cheers and take care!
I love the dagger shape of the Executor and am absolutely getting a gorgeous midi-scale set of it. I do wish they made the underside of the set like the top as opposed to maintaining the anti-studs, but realistically the set is mainly for displaying the top.
This is a day one set for me! I've been psyched for it since I first heard the rumors! I really hope Lego continues to make more of these on top of UCS in the future.
I am so excited for this set. I consider buying it with the death star duel on May 4th and get the death star promo for free. I love Return of the Jedi so I think it's worth spending 170$ for these 3 sets
a must get imo. it is the perfect balance for people who do not want to spend 600+ dollars on something that takes up a ton of space. might modify that stand to fit vader and an imperial officer or smth.
I'd really like to see this as a new collection, just like the helmets have become. We could get a few each year. It would be awesome to even buy multiple of certain ships for massive galactic battle re-creations. I think it would be very successful. The success of the helmets to me indicates that people want SMALLER sets that they don't have to save up for that work as display pieces. UCS sets are awesome... but aside from the money required, they take up too much space, more than the average buyer/hobbyist (or their spouse) is willing to dedicate.
Great review! I appreciate your analysis and unbiased critique on these and other sets! Probably my favorite Lego personality when it comes to reviews and mocs. Keep up the great content!
The midi falcon was like the first Lego set I ever got before I even knew what Star Wars was. I got it on Christmas with vaders tie and I was like cool what is this thing lol little did I know It’d be one of the best and my personal favorite sets I’d ever own
Oddly enough I think this is way more fun for playability. Play scale capital ships are cool but as a kid you can't afford a lot and if you break it there's a bigger risk with putting it back. In this scale a kid could easily own one to three capital ships for the price of one play scale and break them and have fleet battles to their hearts content. I'm not a kid anymore but this is what I wanted as a kid. I built so many venator prototypes and I probably still have two somewhere
Thank you. I wish the entire Imperial fleet could be made in this scale. Oh and that donut ship in this scale from Ep 1 would be awesome (love your taste)!
This is for sure the set I’m most excited for this season!! It’s such a surprise and I hope the continue this line it’s like a mini ucs set which is what I want like a collectors set but in play scale size so yeah this is definitely my priority in buying for the may 4th promos.
I’m thinking I’m going to be keeping the meditation chamber I have that’s still sealed. Thought about selling it, but it would pair well with this set.
The cool thing about Lego sets is also when you can interact with. This set has an adapted size but the problem is you cannot open it, put minifigures, use functionnalities and see details... The price is great but to bad that we have to choose between functionnalities and price
A bit sceptic at first about the return of the midi-scales but your review convinced me, guess I need that new Super Star Destroyer day 1, crash it in that May the 4th promo miniature Death Star II would be epic 😅
I tried to get the Lego Star Wars star destroyer set from Walmart a few days ago because they were stocked on the shelf and I couldn’t get it. The item was still on preorder online and it was unsaleable. So I’ll have to go back on May 4th to get it 😑
theyve had this set at my walmart for a week and ive tried to buy it 3 times and they wont sell it to me and havent even taken it off the shelf. same with the snubfighter ship
LEGO should make every Star Wars ship in this scale, I want my whole office at work to have a wall of these behind me
This is such a good idea. This and the May the 4th promo Death Star
a tie fight would be a stud lol

A Venator at this scale would be my dream set
There is an excellent alternate build for this set, where you can build a very nice looking Venator.
It is so worth checking out.
I love this set and the UCS one. Only thing is, i find it a bit annoying that they only did the “bevel” on the top part of the ship, and left the bottom flat. I think the models would look tons better with both top and bottom beveled. Great video man❤
This is literally my favorite ship of the entire series. I want this.
cannot get myself to buy a grey blob with no figs :( it’s so frustrating, you can clearly tell there’s a display spot for a fig! So so annoying.
Should be a positive for you then . Means that you can save your money and don't buy it lol. Buy something that doesn't resemble a grey ship .
i think it’s insane how figs are a make or break for some fans. i tend to put figs in the set and never see them again

This one and the Death Star diorama are on my must have list right now! Both such cool sets.
I am so excited for this set. I consider buying it with the death star duel on May 4th and get the death star promo for free. I love Return of the Jedi so I think it's worth spending 170$ for these 3 sets
Wow it looks Bette rout of box. I was unsure about it before but now I’m really impressed
Love this set for those of us on a budget and/or have no space for UCS sets
100% have a feeling that later this year we'll have a new UCS Death Star to go with this Micro Super Star Destroyer to scale with it
I love this scale. Ive maxed out any free space i had with the larger UCS sets so ive gone smaller with micro, midi and mini builds.
I really wanted this set when they announced it. Your video confirmed that it's a must buy for me.
a must get imo. it is the perfect balance for people who do not want to spend 600+ dollars on something that takes up a ton of space. might modify that stand to fit vader and an imperial officer or smth.
I agree with most people on here, more of this please, good models for under 80$ best way to display a big battle, if they make more in this style
Yea i wish Darth Vader would have came with it it would be good at $70 but i think $50 would have been a better prices
Did my guy just say "eggsecadoor super star destroyer" lmfao

Excellent, thanks for info on all the other midi-scale ships!

I'm here from the future to say that there are credible rumors that 2024 will feature a midi-scale Millennium Falcon and a midi-scale Tantive IV.
Great review! I appreciate your analysis and unbiased critique on these and other sets! Probably my favorite Lego personality when it comes to reviews and mocs. Keep up the great content!
For the love of god, a midi Venator class please, Lego
I love the Mimi scale Star Wars ships
I preordered mine the day this was announced. I hope Lego can make more midiscale sets like this. Perfect for my man cave of a room or my office
Cool That you Show Both Superstar destroyer
a venator in this size would be chefs kiss
Acclamator, Home One or the Profundity, Lucrehulk, Quasar-Fire Class, so many different designs!
A midi scale venator for clone wars anniversary would be great

I wholeheartedly agree, I loved the capital ships of Star Wars as a kid and still do and these midi scale capitals would've been perfect.
While this scale isn't for me, I would love to see it make a comeback because it's something people actually want.
The midi-scale build that I have been hoping for for years is the MCU SHIELD helicarrier.
Gorgeous 🚀
Great review! I agree about them making midi scale ships like the "doughnut ship from episode 1"!
Thank you. I wish the entire Imperial fleet could be made in this scale. Oh and that donut ship in this scale from Ep 1 would be awesome (love your taste)!
So glad I got the midi scale Star destroyer from way back. Still looks really nice.
This is for sure the set I’m most excited for this season!! It’s such a surprise and I hope the continue this line it’s like a mini ucs set which is what I want like a collectors set but in play scale size so yeah this is definitely my priority in buying for the may 4th promos.
This one ans the fang fighter vs tie interceptor are my 2 favorites coming out of this wave. Cannot wait to purchase
I'm new to this whole lego thing, this was interesting
I would DIE if they released a Venator in this scale, or Home One to go with this one.
This video confirmed this buy for me for May the 4th
Have needed this video. Thanks!
If iget a hold of the instructions im gonna buy plack parts and few extras and make a mini eclipse class star destroyer
I might buy this to remaster one of my first stop motions
Would love to see you combine 2 or 3 of these to make a slightly larger than midi scale!
The bridge is incorrect on your UCS Star Destroyer. The 1x3 with 2 studs should be atop the slope, which is currently in front of it on yours.
Damn! That Millennium Falcon is the best one ever!
This one caught my eye after 4 years didn’t go to Lego store.. 😂
All I want from midi scale is just a small interior. Just a cockpit somewhere, doesn't need to be accurate or anything
I want to see a Venator in this scale. My pipe dream though would be to see an Old Republic Valor-Class cruiser
Midi-scale ships are awesome. Mega has a Halo Forward Unto Dawn in this scale and it's sweet.
I’m thinking I’m going to be keeping the meditation chamber I have that’s still sealed. Thought about selling it, but it would pair well with this set.
looks awesome, deffo gonna get this.
Haven’t bought any Lego for a while, want this one a lot I think. Although maybe a tiny bit too small? Not sure how smaller ships would look like this
Please do a mid-scale ATAT Walker, that would be top tier!
I’m tempted to get this just to add it to my Death Star moc.
I would love to see a mid-scale version of Home One
Looks like a nice display set. Think i’ll pick one up.
A Mon Calamari Cruiser would be epic!
Will you make reviews for the dioramas?
The cool thing about Lego sets is also when you can interact with. This set has an adapted size but the problem is you cannot open it, put minifigures, use functionnalities and see details... The price is great but to bad that we have to choose between functionnalities and price
the donut ship from episode 1 is the lucrehulk class battleship or the droid control ship
Its definitely not a remake of the 2011 UCS version, but I still look forward to having one of these as a display model
I really really want Lego to make more midi scale sets
A bit sceptic at first about the return of the midi-scales but your review convinced me, guess I need that new Super Star Destroyer day 1, crash it in that May the 4th promo miniature Death Star II would be epic 😅

I just saw this and the snub fighter at Walmart, I would’ve gotten them but I spent all my money yesterday in Disney springs
The real question is how many midi-scale executors to make the ucs executor
I’m so jealous you got so many Nebulon B Frigate legos…. So sad I missed that one. Need WAY MORE this scale!!!!
Brilliant, but for 60 pounds on the UK I would expect a minfigure where the grill is on the stand. Maybe an Admiral Piett.
I wish we were getting another ucs version of this set this year instead of a venator
theyve had this set at my walmart for a week and ive tried to buy it 3 times and they wont sell it to me and havent even taken it off the shelf. same with the snubfighter ship
I was already planning to get this asap, but this just reinforces that!
This series might be the only chance for getting any of the separatist fleet
Would it be possible to make midi scale Mon Cal cruisers? I'd love that, but maybe they're too round
