An incredible ship! Has so many features, an impressive wingspan and the sliding doors are just the coolest thing going. The Micro Vehicle Accessories are amazing as well.
This is easily one of my favorite ship designs, especially for the Disney era. I love that we have a rebel version of a troop transport now, and also that it's basically the Star Wars version of a Huey helicopter, which obviously fits in with the Vietnam motif of the movie. Glad to see they were able to pack in all of those fun features and make for an awesome toy
It was leaked on a target listing that we are getting a Tie Striker in series 6 or 7 although it’s hard to trust some of those placeholder listings on there.
Thank you thank you thank you! Always so enlightening to see you leverage your extensive collection in order to provide context for us potential buyers (i.e. it's great to see you compare one toy line to another)
I love Rogue One and this is one of my favorite ship designs. I'm not a Micro Galaxy Squadron collector but I saw this for $8.99 at Target yesterday and couldn't say no!
So freaking Rad! I am quite excited to put my mitts on this. I have a Bandai model kit. Small but very cool looking. This blows that away. This might be my favorite MGS ship. I am quite taken by this design. The mini figures take it one knotch up on the greatness ladder. Great stuff! This is the type of detail and care that makes figures like this and the pod racers to a premium status. Excited to own.
For sure!!! It’s a very cool one. They really nailed it on the design! Make sure you check out my other video on the wing pop out fix so if you get one you know how to fix it. Seems like 50%ish of people have the problem when they take it out of the box and my suggestion fixes the problem!
@@rambo5633 awesome!!! I love that the international people are finally getting some good stuff! I can’t wait for it to drop in the states man it looks cool!
One thing I’ll say is be on the lookout for QC issues on this one besides the wing pop-out problem. Both my side sliding doors had issues out of the box. One arm was completely snapped off, and the other was missing the little metal bar/pin that holds the arm in place. It’s flat out missing.
You know I am not surprised the QC has been a problem from series 1. Got really bad with series 3 and then seemed to level off. It’s still crazy for as good as the sculpts are that they can’t get these things figured out at the factory.
@@kmtanner04 It’s pretty upsetting. The U-Wing is my favorite ship, and I was hoping to enjoy this item over May 4th weekend. That said I’ll be making a special trip to Target for an exchange tonight. I hope my second one is at least not…broken or missing components. Sigh.
Just bought my U Wing today since it was on clearance, found out that the wing join were tighten too much. A quarter or half turn to loosen the join and pressure solved the issue.
The dirty paint job for this U-wing is awesome. But I have 2 of the Revell U-wing models and I am absolutely satisfied with its appearance and how it scales with my other MGS rebel ships tbh!
I know these are so cool! The GHOST is my all time favorite and the major one I have wanted and been waiting for after that the rest of the line is just cake.
I have the Revell model. I always thought it was perfect scale for MGS. Maybe pick up another to cannibalize the lights/sound FX to install in the MGS.
I love this vehicle! Just ordered it on Amazon. Now if only Hasbro would do something similar for 3 and 3/4 inch figures. The U-Wing they released when Rogue One came out was a bit sad.
@13:40 FYI: - 1:80 scale is the Micro Galaxy Squadron U-Wing (30cm long) - 1:86 scale is Revell's snap-kit (28cm long), which does come with removeable landing gear - 1:145 scale is Bandai's excellent model kit (16.5cm long) According to RebelScale: - 1:87 scale is the Micro Galaxy Squadron Y-Wing (18.6cm long) So the MGS U-Wing is actually too "large", not too small.
The piece looks nice! What I hate about this line though is that they only give you limited crew. For example, I am still waiting for my Tatoonie Luke Skywalker to put him into my Millenium Falcon.
Agreed. Unfortunately, farm boy Luke came in the Escape the Death Star battle pack a couple years ago. It was part of Walmarts collector con. I am positive we will get another in the future!
Apparently, mine was built wrong. There is an extra landing gear on 1 of the top engines! The bottom landing gear are there properly, but the top left engine has a landing gear too. Anyone else have this problem?
It’s such a shame the blew up the razor crest I think that one of my top 5 for the whole line. It looks so cool with those massive engines on top. Reminds me of the A10 Warthog.
@@kmtanner04 yup love the A10 and love the crest. I even bought the Haslab crest, then waited 1 yr after ordering to receive. To find out it’s been blown up! 🤦♂️ such a cool ship
@@arkitekto323 haha! I remember when that was going on and I considered buying it then literally the week after the campaign closed it got blown up. I was like, phew!
It should be available at all major retailers. Back in the fall of 2023 Walmart had a upc sticker on the shelf (which was a mistake for the time) but I am pretty sure they will be everywhere.
and when u say left u mean from pilot seats perspective yes? for me its the right one and while its bot obnoxious, when o hold it and look at it, the one, even tho slight, still does stand out as an eyesore for me personally. got from amazon of course an di have been told my jazwares when contacting them for amazon supplied defects “to talk to amazon” that they dont provide support, WHOCH IS SO FUNNY, given that in their bundle packs jazwares includes a little qr scan sheet that says “problems? DO NOT RETURN TO THE STORE CONTACT US AND WE’ll HELP” or something to that effect… so unsure if i should even bother reaching out to jazwares about seeing if can get one with out the asymmetrical issue…i’m assuming theyll tell me to deal with amazon which wont help because all theirs are from the same batches presumably and probably all suffer from the same issue to varying degrees… sigh. i was so ready to give them a shout out for perfecrion on these UNTIL i noticed that issue…and i wanst even trying to find a problem was just enjoying looking at it as i do, holding ant turning for different angles when it jumped out at me like a sore thumb…😢
What a time to be alive for people who grew up with the Action Fleet line.
Me, i'm those people. An i am ecstatic. These blow action fleet out of the water. Hasbro could never.
An incredible ship! Has so many features, an impressive wingspan and the sliding doors are just the coolest thing going. The Micro Vehicle Accessories are amazing as well.
14:13 that’s not the engine; that is the fuel tank for the Tibanna Gas
Thanks for the info!

I couldn’t agree more!
I like how it lines up pretty nicely to a scale model version of the ship.
The paint work on this is absolutely stunning, it looks terrific for an affordable retail toy. Definitely grabbing this one.
where can i buy these ships because there's no standard website to get them in the uk!
Need to have a Scarif battle pack with this ship and Antoc and TIE Striker.
That would be awesome!!! That a great battle pack idea. A battle damage Antoc!
It was leaked on a target listing that we are getting a Tie Striker in series 6 or 7 although it’s hard to trust some of those placeholder listings on there.
@@kmtanner04 Sweet, the Tie Striker is my favorite Tie version.
@@Straswa I am excited to see how big they make it!
Awesome review Kevin, can't wait for my U-wing to arrive.
It’s really cool. Tight quarters in the play area but the engineering is great!
I am excited to get this. It has a lot more detail and features than I was expecting! Thank you for the comparison to the Revell as well.
Your welcome! Thanks for watching.
Great review Kevin. I'm seriously looking forward to getting my U wing.
Thanks for the comparison with the revell kit .
Thank you thank you thank you! Always so enlightening to see you leverage your extensive collection in order to provide context for us potential buyers (i.e. it's great to see you compare one toy line to another)
Thanks you for the kind comment! I am glad to do it and happy you enjoyed the review.
the way the Revell U-Wing's wings sweep way too far back than how it's supposed to be. The MG has got it right :)
Well reviewed! Awesome ship...plan to get this. I love the way features were highlighted
Agreed! They did an awesome job on it.
i bought one and it will arrive at the end of may 💀
nice to have your video in the meantime
I have mine from an Amazon listing that’s set to deliver from the 19th to the 29th. It’s still open if you want to
Incredible!
Another fine addition to your collection.
I love Rogue One and this is one of my favorite ship designs. I'm not a Micro Galaxy Squadron collector but I saw this for $8.99 at Target yesterday and couldn't say no!
@@DarthMalaks_Missing_Lower_Jaw yes it’s a good one for sure. Keep in mind if your wings pop out I have a video how to fix that.

Hey Kevin, just found the target exclusive U-Wing at gamestop in canada

@@jediguy3706 if they are any you have your receipt I would reach out the Jazwares customer service. Good luck on this second run!
I wonder what the biggest figure they've made is. I feel like it'd have to be between grievous and k2
I think K2 is the biggest. I measured Grevious on my other review, not sure off hand.
Just bought my U Wing today since it was on clearance, found out that the wing join were tighten too much. A quarter or half turn to loosen the join and pressure solved the issue.
@@Nillson1991 sweet! I have another video of that fix. Amazing it was that easy!

I LOVE THESE. quite possibly my favorite yet, pending of course the ghost’s /phantoms 1+ arrival lol

Had bad luck with quality control on mine, the windows at the bottom were missing the "glass," just completely empty. Otherwise... pretty great fig!
Wow! Unfortunately there are still lots of problems with the QC. I am surprised they can’t get that figured out.
Apparently, mine was built wrong. There is an extra landing gear on 1 of the top engines! The bottom landing gear are there properly, but the top left engine has a landing gear too. Anyone else have this problem?
Wow! That is very unique. I can definitely see how that can happen. I would contact customer service and they may be able to get you a replacement.
This ship is probably the best overall quality/ finish. If Jazwares keeps this up. I hope they remake the razor crest and falcon.
It’s such a shame the blew up the razor crest I think that one of my top 5 for the whole line. It looks so cool with those massive engines on top. Reminds me of the A10 Warthog.

can i get this in canada? if so where?
I think Amazon may have it. Otherwise, I am not sure what retailers will carry. It is a standard release so most major retailers should have it.
@@kmtanner04okay plz let me know if you hear anyone in canada talking about it at retailers
Is this an amazon exclusive or will it be available in the big box stores like Target and Walmart?
It should be available at all major retailers. Back in the fall of 2023 Walmart had a upc sticker on the shelf (which was a mistake for the time) but I am pretty sure they will be everywhere.
Impressive Collection. My wife complains how much I collect, I’d hate to imagine what you might go through. 😂
Not only it's an awesome ship, it's the only way to get a mini Diego Luna action figure!
@@JulioLenin88 yes it is!
are any of ur engine turbine/thrusters slightly crooked?
I think the top left but it’s very slight and wouldn’t notice it unless scrutinizing it.

The only way to turn off your stalker… a visit to this basement.
I have the Revell version and liked it but the micro galaxy version is far more detailed.
Agreed! With a lot more features also!
One of my favorite Disney-era ship designs.
Where Hasbro failed miserably jazwares
front landing gear is in the wrong place
Fix the wing by loosening the screw that goes through the pivot a tiny bit….learned from another video
the figures looks terrible
