Here’s what I think: LEGO makes the microfighter first to get everyone to buy it for the Rex, then release a full size one in a year or two so that everyone who wanted the actual build now has to make two purchases. It’s brilliant.
Even if thats true, it would ve ok since that means captain rex is available wide range of price range. Those who just want capt rex can just buy this microfighter instead of buying the much more expensive y wing full set
It may have been exclusive at the time to customers, but they had to have known this was in the pipeline, which makes the statement kind of shady yet not technically wrong
Blaise did an amazing job with the 501st Y-Wing. For the sagging engines, I think it's possible to reduce it if there is a 1x2 plate at the end of the body so that the weight is held evenly on two locations. However, I'm not sure how much that would require modifying the build. Also, based on how much the plates make contact with the engines, the sag might just be inevitable. If the set is just being displayed in landing mode, you could try just sliding in a piece to see how it would go.
I love that the Y-wing, my favorite starfighter, came with Rex and sent the LEGO "Investors" into a tizzy. I didn't realize LEGO only made the Clone Wars Y-wing once. I did consider getting the set back then, because I really loved the fully clad Y-wing. But, this is a great rendition here! Good job, Blaise!
This video inspired me to make my own Y-Wing based on Rex’s. I successfully created an almost exact replica of the 2009 Y-Wing in the 501st Color Scheme, it looks amazing.
This MOC should be a set alongside the Microfighter just like Mando's N1 starfighter becoming 2 seperate sets. The price of this set should range around $69.99 to $79.99
i was thikning it looks neat until i saw the bottom and i was stunned how awesome it was. Landing gear especially bought me and deffinietly id like it as an official set. One thing id like to change/try to update is perhaps the gunner seat, better way of fitting and/or to try to make it spinnable? but this is just a loose thought
I have the original yellow clone wars Y-Wing and I was really hoping that I could just swap out the yellow for blue parts. But Rex's y-wing's colors are inverted and color swapped, so I'd just end up building an entirely new y-wing. Next thing to try is to make a minifig scale Rex's Y-wing using multiple microfighters.
Impressive! I made 2 recolored clone war Y-wings. A dark red and yellow variant from one epic space battle in the clone wars. Nice work with The blue Y-wing.
I love how people complain about him being in a super expensive set and that normal fans can’t get him then complain when he comes in a cheaper set because it degrades his value and they can sell home for 10x his value
This build is so awesome! I just got it today and I gotta say I love it! But yeah I had the same idea of wanting to build a replica y wing in blue, but tbh now I might just get the instructions through the patreon.
Now I'm a bit mad that the official Y wing was just a mircofighter, cause this moc is PERFECT. (well, almost perfect, cause the turrett can't rotate, but I don''t see how we can make a rotating turrett )
I'd imagine if this set was real then I'd bet the minifigures would be Rex, Ashoka, Jesse, and or Ashoka's ashtromech droid with maybe one or 2 332nd clones
"Absolutely no one is buying this set for the build..." Wrong! I like Y-wings, and don't have Phase 2 Rex. I would have bought a microfighter Y-wing no matter what figure it included, and I would have bought any microfighter that included a Phase 2 Rex. But together in one set? Awesome!
Step 1: get a snazzy little microfighter Step 2: buy a few hundred pieces to add to the build Simple init 😂 But a great moc! It looks superb, be proud of it :)
That’s not a micro fighter anymore though. Just because you add more pieces doesn’t mean you’ve done a better job than the designers. They’re operating on a limited budget, you aren’t.
I really liked this video and the build looks awesome but I'm not a fan of the "We fixed this" kind of title. It comes off as arrogant and kind of toxic.
Can’t wait to see a very similar set show up on republic bricks that he’s definitely been working on for awhile for mysterious reasons
This comment is underrated
Nah he’s waiting for the designs from other custom sellers o drop them he’ll release “his” Y-Wing
Real 💀
And it’ll hold up worse to current sets than sets designed in 1975. Now with added instability
He’s had one for a while
Here’s what I think:
LEGO makes the microfighter first to get everyone to buy it for the Rex, then release a full size one in a year or two so that everyone who wanted the actual build now has to make two purchases. It’s brilliant.
and make a new improved version of rex, one we wanted (and obviously we will buy)
Even if thats true, it would ve ok since that means captain rex is available wide range of price range. Those who just want capt rex can just buy this microfighter instead of buying the much more expensive y wing full set
The fact that anyone thought that a new captain Rex mold, a massively popular character, would stay exclusive to the venator is pretty funny.
They thought it because Lego promised it
@@EternalDawn It was exclusive at the time
@EternalDawn did lego say "I promise this figure will remain exclusive"?
@@EternalDawn no, they never did
It may have been exclusive at the time to customers, but they had to have known this was in the pipeline, which makes the statement kind of shady yet not technically wrong
Honestly, this is what Lego is about. If you have an idea, you can make it, just be creative, and it works! That's why I love Lego.
he has returned
Yessir
Somehow…
The perfect collab doesn’t exi-

Who up tinkering wit they micro fight her?
His Y-wing is the best!!! 10/10, he did an excellent job with modifying and revolting the Y-wing from yellow to blue
The most definitive version I have seen with this model for Lego. Looks fantastic you guys did a great job!
I love that the Y-wing, my favorite starfighter, came with Rex and sent the LEGO "Investors" into a tizzy.
I didn't realize LEGO only made the Clone Wars Y-wing once. I did consider getting the set back then, because I really loved the fully clad Y-wing.
But, this is a great rendition here! Good job, Blaise!
You fixed it by making it a different set altogether. Gotcha. 'Simply add these few hundred pieces'.
That MOC looks absolutely amazing. I’m definitely going to have to buy the instructions from Blaise
When Blaise demonstrated how to put the astromech droid in from the bottom of the ship, I almost lost my mind. Brilliant.
It‘s even more accurate putting the mech in from the bottom iirc
Amazing moc, I love this and we must get captain rex's Y-Wing as a set with jessie minifigure
1:39 also I’d like to bring up that Captain Rex’s Y-Wing made an appearance in the last episode of Tales Of The Jedi when Ashoka was leaving Naboo
This video inspired me to make my own Y-Wing based on Rex’s. I successfully created an almost exact replica of the 2009 Y-Wing in the 501st Color Scheme, it looks amazing.
I turned the micro fighter into a bark speeder
This MOC should be a set alongside the Microfighter just like Mando's N1 starfighter becoming 2 seperate sets. The price of this set should range around $69.99 to $79.99

Man, y'all knocked this one out the park!
i thought you could do a video making captain rex's Y-wing out of an ewing form the ahsoka show
fuck yeahhh lego star wars vid with a metal gear solid refrence
I have the original yellow clone wars Y-Wing and I was really hoping that I could just swap out the yellow for blue parts. But Rex's y-wing's colors are inverted and color swapped, so I'd just end up building an entirely new y-wing. Next thing to try is to make a minifig scale Rex's Y-wing using multiple microfighters.
How much do the pieces cost?
Where to get the instruction Plan... .???
Let’s go!! HelloThereRex is back with a banger video!
I ordered it as soon as it came out it’s coming soon it’s being shipped right now and it’s in the shipping process before it goes out for delivery
Ok i actually wanna instructions for this
Ok I think imma buy the patreon
Impressive! I made 2 recolored clone war Y-wings. A dark red and yellow variant from one epic space battle in the clone wars. Nice work with The blue Y-wing.
the best collab in the history of lego
Great job, look amazing.
That's not a microfighter anymore. That's a fighter
I love how people complain about him being in a super expensive set and that normal fans can’t get him then complain when he comes in a cheaper set because it degrades his value and they can sell home for 10x his value
Can’t*
This build is so awesome! I just got it today and I gotta say I love it! But yeah I had the same idea of wanting to build a replica y wing in blue, but tbh now I might just get the instructions through the patreon.
OF COURSE BLAISETM MADE THE CUSTOM
I'm wondering when the Captain Rex Microfighter set comes out on Amazon
This set it sold out everywhere i look
Whenever this channel uploads a video:
"Oh, Hello There, Rex."
hehe
This is beautiful
if I know lego, they won't make anything close to the level of care and detail that this MOC has.
Why are you the only UA-camr who doesn’t bitch about clone troopers every video, wish more were like you
he’s back!! missed watching your vids
Looks incredible, especially for minifig scale
Prayers have been answered, brother is back
Great video! Welcome back!
Now I'm a bit mad that the official Y wing was just a mircofighter, cause this moc is PERFECT. (well, almost perfect, cause the turrett can't rotate, but I don''t see how we can make a rotating turrett )
ill buy it for the microfither because im collecting every lego micro fighter for star wars
This is so cool just subed
Fantastic work!
Return of the King
My Target didn’t get the memo to stock the June first sets, so I wasn’t able to get it yesterday.
So beautiful
I'm grabbing a few of these
I can't find the pdf on your patreon
Can you put the link?
I apologise for this but I put the pauldron on the wrong side
Idk why it just looks right 😂
How did you get that set?
oh i totally need this
I'd imagine if this set was real then I'd bet the minifigures would be Rex, Ashoka, Jesse, and or Ashoka's ashtromech droid with maybe one or 2 332nd clones
I'm actually gonna buy the micro fighter once I buy the Venetor
are there instructions for this set
never mined
"Absolutely no one is buying this set for the build..."
Wrong! I like Y-wings, and don't have Phase 2 Rex. I would have bought a microfighter Y-wing no matter what figure it included, and I would have bought any microfighter that included a Phase 2 Rex.
But together in one set? Awesome!
I thought you put it in water and it grew!
It got out of stock the first day
He has returned 😮
Step 1: get a snazzy little microfighter
Step 2: buy a few hundred pieces to add to the build
Simple init 😂 But a great moc! It looks superb, be proud of it :)
Very very good. Congrats! Man... land gear and all! R2 proper way to go in! Why cant Lego elevate some of their sets! So odd.
Affordable - yes. Easily attainable - No. Local store sold out in 10 minutes. No where online has it. Ebay scalpers have marked it up 3x.
Bro i got it on Amazon june 3rd
lego could make this 70$ and id buy it with no complaints. (and i complain a lot about lego prices🤣)
this ain’t “fixing” bro☠️
why are you so pedantic lil bro
W colab
KING 🤴🏽
WHERE DID YOU GET IT
Yo BlaiseTM!
Made with only 2 extra pieces
SOLD. I need it.
Such a cool set for cheap lol
You missed the point of the microfighter, its meant for parents to buy their kids as in inexpensive set
I neeeed it
Title is kinda misleading. That is not a microfighter anymore. So you didn’t „fix“ it. You just built a new one.
yay
“Microfighter” 🙄
Hi
hello sir
Hello there
@@chrisramirez4249 general kenobi
Right when I subscribe to you, you decide to return.
If you have a crush on me you can just say so.
That’s not a micro fighter anymore though. Just because you add more pieces doesn’t mean you’ve done a better job than the designers. They’re operating on a limited budget, you aren’t.
This micro fighter is so bad, it is way to big, and the figures look sh+t too.
The old one was way better
I really liked this video and the build looks awesome but I'm not a fan of the "We fixed this" kind of title. It comes off as arrogant and kind of toxic.
