Them putting those minifigs in more sets is a good thing. Forcing people to spend 400 dollars to get the ONLY Captain Rex is ridiculous. It's good that they put it in a microfighter.
Super excited for this set! It looks great. It would have been cool to see a brick built mouth and some loose wires instead of stickers, but I think aesthetically this is probably best. Love that it’s clearly Lego, but a great display too. I’m also glad I have an excuse to get the R2!
I feel like LEGO could have done gold circular grill pieces for the eyes instead of the circle dishes. Great video, get some rest man-you’re taking care of the kids and MrsBricksie… we will be ok if you slow down for a couple weeks. 👍👍👍
I don't understand why they did not use the metallic gold for the pieces. They did mix in some pieces in that color. Curious what made them decide to mix the 2 colors.
Why so annoyed about the minifigure? Maybe some child whose family can’t afford to look at Lego as an investment opportunity still deserves a cool minifigure !
Hey Jordan, hope Josee is recovering well from her surgeries, you are doing a great job looking after the family and keeping on top of the channel too but please don't over do it and burn yourself out! m not a Lego Star Wars collector but would be interesting in getting this as a display piece. Can anyone tell me what the set number is for R2-D2 that would match up with this please? Thank You!
Just some feedback about your home review space - but the audio when you’re recording in the cubby is very poor and unusual for your videos. Not the end of the world obviously, but it was noticeable. Great review, regardless of that audio.
The build looks really good! It’s gonna pair so well with the smaller R2-D2 we got earlier this year. And I love that they included the same C-3PO minifigure from the UCS Luke’s Landspeeder.
Looks really really good. I'm very curious to see what him and r2d2 look like with the ucs sand speeder might be a cool display. Also would love to see him with the other buildable figs. Live the imitation you did too bricksie.
I'm not a fun of Star Wars, but even for me it looks as an interesting lego set. I always admired a capability to build human-like or animal like sets from lego.
I really am impressed with this set although a bit pricey , are the gold bricks more expensive . Considering the limitation of Lego , they dont have pieces for every situation to make it look like the actual character but they do an amazing job with what they have , but this set does look good especially beside R2D2 .
It’s ABSOLUTELY not acceptable that LEGO continues to drop the ball in quality control when supplying pieces. I put together two 200+ dollar sets in the last six months and both of them had multiple missing pieces right from the box. Get it together LEGO!
I'm freaked out by the eyes. That is not how the character eyes look in the movies. His eyes should be within his head, not protruding. Lego needed to approach this like the 3 in 1 Tiger set where the eyes are within the socket. That could have been a lot better. Otherwise its a great set.
$140 for this set is OBSCENE! Wow, Lego is still pushing the price limits. People will pay it though, so I can't say the are not justified. My Barad-dûr set was also missing a couple of pieces. That almost never happens, yet this is the second time it has this year for me. And it was wedge plates as well! I think Lego is starting to coast and not paying as much attention to detail, which is a shame...
Hey Jordan, we don’t all get free UCS sets from Lego. The fact that Captain Rex is now in a super affordable set, should be celebrated because more people have access to it. Sorry we’re not like you and get free Lego sets.
Lol, my same thoughts. I mentioned this before and he said he has to do a lot of work to be part of the system that allows him to get free sets and so on. I get it, that's your choice. Just keep in mind 99% of people actually have to go buy these $400+ sets with real money. So yeah, it's nice to see these figs in sets people can actually afford and not feel left out.
He is a choice not to be in LAN, but obviously it is worth it as he was suspended and he worked to get back in. He is earning money from doing videos for mostly getting free Lego sets…. He is working hard because he has a high overhead now with the Lego studio.
This build looks amazing and will pair well with the new R2D2 build! Excited for this release 🎉

I'm actually happy they are making less minifigs exclusive. The resale value has gotten out of control.
No point in putting hinges in the elbows when in the movies he never moved his elbows only his shoulders.
Makes it easier to put his arms in the correct position and is overall more structurally sound.
Yes that’s true
Super excited for this set! It looks great. It would have been cool to see a brick built mouth and some loose wires instead of stickers, but I think aesthetically this is probably best. Love that it’s clearly Lego, but a great display too. I’m also glad I have an excuse to get the R2!
I dont get why you're making a problem about the figure. If you buy a big LEGO C-3PO set it's fair to expect the best 3po minifigure that's available
Love it. And check out the piece count. It’s a reference to the 1971 movie THX1138. George Lucas made his directorial debut here.
Looking forward to seeing C-3PO on the shelves next to R2-D2 and Chewbacca to see how they all look together.
Stop apologizing for being tired! You're being a great dad and husband! It's refreshing to see people on here acting like real humans! Great review!
We need finally a Video with this C3PO next to the UCS R2 and the smaller buildable R2
Now this is the one we can’t wait to build on The Brick Twins!! Looks awesome!
Wait to see this finished. Deserves more views
All 3 of these new Star Wars releasing soon sets look great!
Would have been nice as part of the review to put it next to the r2 and chewbacca buildable figures
Not having exclusive minifigs is cool. No need to gatekeep coolness for only those that can't afford large sets (both price and space).
Nice to see some home reviews and enjoyingbthe long weekend we all need a rest and quality family time.
I feel like LEGO could have done gold circular grill pieces for the eyes instead of the circle dishes.
Great video, get some rest man-you’re taking care of the kids and MrsBricksie… we will be ok if you slow down for a couple weeks. 👍👍👍
This is absolutely brilliant. Cant wait to build it....
I don't understand why they did not use the metallic gold for the pieces. They did mix in some pieces in that color. Curious what made them decide to mix the 2 colors.
Because he’s a dirty gold he’s never been shiny
Plus cost of the shiny drum lacquered gold - if you think it's expensive now - it would be a lot more if it was all gold
Why so annoyed about the minifigure? Maybe some child whose family can’t afford to look at Lego as an investment opportunity still deserves a cool minifigure !
I don't think he wants a lame minifig in this set. But it could be different than the UCS version

looks like you just won a Oscar if you mute the video.

Is it easy to seperate his torso from his legs? I am thinking to put his top half in a backpack for chewie
I am C 3PO He looks lots of gold awesome review jorden 🍕
How many bags does it have?
C3-PO and R2-D2 on display 😍
If you put the new C-3PO next to that other buildable R2D2 from 2021 (Instead of the 25th anniversary edition), the scale would look weird.
Do you wish he was bigger so he could pair with the bigger r2d2 that came out before the ones this year
It looks incredible! Lego smashed this one
It would be great if there was a way to attach c3po to chewie like in empire
Now I need this to display next to my R2D2 on a Tatooine diorama! There goes my money...
I'm not a fun of Star Wars, but even for me it looks as an interesting lego set. I always admired a capability to build human-like or animal like sets from lego.
If only C3po could help with parenting! Great review, I think the eyes look really good even if they are a bit oversized
Is the mouth a sticker as well? hate stickers, they always peel after a while...
Mouth is a print.
All of the gold pieces with decoration are printed, all of the black pieces (except the plaque) are stickered.
@@joeyost1603good news!
@@retrobrickreviews687 Well thats good. I didnt put on the r2 stickers, not sure about the stickers on this one yet
does this pair with the last smaller R2?

I'm super excited about getting that new Lambo model
Great review! Hang in there with the twins! My twins just turned two and their energy levels are off the chart.
I’m unable to turn the arm the way you did in the video. :/
Please review Technic boat 2024

The little wedge pieces in gold look wrong as the rest is in pearl gold
He looks great
It should have more articulation to match R2-D2 but most importantly, it needs gold pieces
Sweet build!
Its getting wey too common now these missing pieces, i havent had a single set in over a year not missing at least one
This looks worth every penny!
HAVE CHEWBACCA CARRY C-3PO FROM CLOUD CITY
It should be gold plated. If Bandai can do it, then lego should do it too.
Never apologize mate,2 kids,a business,a wife on the mend,builds & reviews 👍 ya only human mate
I'm freaked out by the eyes. That is not how the character eyes look in the movies. His eyes should be within his head, not protruding. Lego needed to approach this like the 3 in 1 Tiger set where the eyes are within the socket. That could have been a lot better. Otherwise its a great set.
Yep, as soon as someone is able to make it look better with a customisation, I’ll buy this set. I think it’s prefect, but the eyes look so off.
W00t! C3PO is available for pre-order here... now, i just need to wait the end of the month to get it!
$140 for this set is OBSCENE! Wow, Lego is still pushing the price limits. People will pay it though, so I can't say the are not justified. My Barad-dûr set was also missing a couple of pieces.

Should of been mirror gold like the real thing.
Great set i think😊
Wow
Nice build, but at this point Lego is asking too much for the price.
I agree that LEGO prices are increasing, but this one feels like one of the least offensive prices for 2024
@@swchurchill absolutely true. But still pricey for me.
Lego should send you the wedges for free, no questions if you email them. Especially since they sent this to you.
Indeed, they'll do that for anyone with missing pieces
Long overdue!
Finally a 3-cpo set, but imo way too expensive for what you get.
it looks like 3po from the ewoks cartoon
Im sorry but his face is an absolute nightmare. That they could not find another way really annoys me.
Awesome . Now go and rest lol. Tfs
i need my 10000+ piece lego ucs gonk droid
Absolutely terrible eyes
For the price they really should give you an exclusive minifig
I made this before a minute passed

Why don't you ask Lego Support to send you the missing pieces for free?
that’s exactly what he’s talking about, there is an option to order missing pieces for free via bricks and pieces on the lego website.
Jordan said he plans to.
They should have added Darth Malik to him. People like r2 more, no? Peope would buy him anyway! And 3p0 is more expensive, no?
No
First comment and view pls pin!😊
I’m this early?!?!
Hi
He says classic 3PO as he gets his statement wrong.
