    I really miss when Star Wars had sets at the $25 price point. They were always really good

  • @scottholcomb1190
    @scottholcomb1190 2 роки тому +82

    I think one thing folks have not talked about is the fact you can use the extra Lukes from multiple sets to make other Jedi using other minifigs. Different heads and the saber along with the hood could make some neat combos.

  • @Vadahann
    @Vadahann 2 роки тому +44

    I like the kind of middle ground they found here, it works as a playset with some decent play features but can also be used as a nice display piece, and all that while keeping the price quite low.
    I not much into buying sets in double for combining them but I kind of want to for this one. Full corridor with 6 dark troopers, that should be nice.

  • @Abremoch
    @Abremoch 2 роки тому +22

    166 pieces for 40$ CAD is almost 3 times the part to price ratio and even though i LOVE dark troopers I refuse to legitimize this outrageous extorsion. Ill keep on buying loose pieces on Bricklink and create my own stuff. Thx for the great review!

  • @fractalelf7760
    @fractalelf7760 2 роки тому +3

    Got lucky on this set ordered two on Amazon, opened one and it had two sticker sheets! On the two elevator back wall stickers, I found that it looked better and was easier to line up to to put the sticker on the left wall on the right edge, and vice versa so they meet in the middle and don’t have that weird gap, which makes lining up easier but also a fuller wall look.

  • @jimmygray5352
    @jimmygray5352 2 роки тому +9

    I bought this set twice, modded them partially together and built the blast door and part of the command bridge.
    I think this set is one of the best star wars lego sets for years.
    It allows us to extend and combine by buying multiple times while getting more dark troopers.

  • @geraldlaboone9741

  • @cyanimation1605

    At 5:56 we see the troopers unmasked. It's nice it is not just a solid collor head like the red or black heads used for imperial guards. I think that head piece would be great for space moc figures. That armor would be good for uther figures as well. This is a good set for the figures in my opinion. That new Luke figure is great too. Great review. I'm getting this when I finde it.

  • @fozzytheflyingmuppet
    @fozzytheflyingmuppet 2 роки тому

    Would the soap water trick help with the stickers? Like others said before; Luke could just turn his laser off in the elevator and then he fits. Thinking of the target customers, I would say young teens who want a set that has play features but is mainly used as a small display set.

  • @I_D_I_0_T
    @I_D_I_0_T 2 роки тому +1

    Why don't they make a lot of sets like this modular? Then we could add sets together and create larger play sets.

  • @WarChiefAJD
    @WarChiefAJD 2 роки тому

    I like this set and plan to get at least a few more but the price is too high and now I wonder if it should’ve been an 18+ set and include some more parts for a display base with a plaque of some sort. I also think there should’ve been a door opposite the elevator to emulate the shot of Luke coming through the smoke onto the bridge.

  • @Katarn84
    @Katarn84 2 роки тому

    Ordered this just an hour ago. Wished there were more Dark Troopers. I might think about buying another if I only knew hot to MOC it and make it longer (and hoping for a legit Dark Trooper Battle Pack to get more troopers).

  • @undead.rising
    @undead.rising 2 роки тому +1

    Considering that there are no specialised pieces aside from the Dark Troopers themselves, the selling point of this set really shouldn't be as high as it is - especially as I can see most people buying at least 2 of this set to make both a longer hallway, and more of a closed-off hallway for "realism's" sake.

    Where were these stickers when I built a MOC of Luke and Leia swinging across the chasm in the Death Star?
    It was three years ago, but still...
    On a more serious note, I may consider buying more of these because I could definitely use everything here. As for the Dark Trooper buying 3 in a $30 set is far more reasonable than buying 1 in a $160 set, or spending more than that to Scalpers who took advantage of the Dark Trooper's scarcity. I may consider repurposing the Minifig parts used for Luke.

    I would like to get 4 of these sets in total. With the number of Din Djarrin minifigs I have got too you can re-enact a number of that episodes scenes so in my mind this is a really massable playset. A little expensive but I think these will be reduced in price sometime soon.

  • @davidheier
    @davidheier 2 роки тому +5

    Tbh I can't reasonably expect this to be $20, even though the next interval f $30 is a bit high. Comparing it to those mentioned $20 duel sets or the $20 death star gunner/shield generator diorama, they all had only 2 figures each. The ones with 3 figures, like the Duel on Naboo or the Luke/Leia death star bridge escape (forgive me for not knowing the actual names) were already priced at $30.
    With 4 figures, even at the lower part count, I think $20 would be one of the most generous Star Wars sets in recent years, and would be inconsistent with the value of other sets in the theme. Relative to what we've come to expect, this is priced about right.

  • @kaleb749
    @kaleb749 2 роки тому

    Seems like a pretty exploitative set to me. They knew people would want to mass these Dark Troopers in a battlepack, so they hiked up the price 15$ more, not even bothering to offset Luke with another Dark Trooper to make it a round 4, and justified it with a cheapish build to wrap it all up.
    Like, the prints and moulds are nice and high quality, but was it really necessary to have a hallway build, one with such extreme application of stickers, and no extra figures for twice the price? I personally don’t think so
    Also, I don’t really agree with the implication that battlepacks are only massed by youtubers and collectors. When I was a pre-adolescent, I got a lot of the classic TCW clone trooper battlepack

    Unsustainable, again. The stickers bring it up: They bring standard Star Wars (SW) Imperial decoration to the scene, right? And there are and will be more SW sets, that will need the imperial style. Why then, no prints on standard SW parts (wall elements, elevator, doors, etc.) THIS DUMPS! sorry, but buh Lego!

    For $30 it’s not that bad, I’ll grab a whole bunch at $24 make a bigger hallway and turn all my Luke’s into sith users.
    All of these figures are more or less deluxe figures. All have a hood/helmet, 3 of them have a chest add on piece, Luke comes with a cape so in reality the figures are more deluxe then say your typical Harry Potter figure, or really a standard figure with a hair piece.
