Personally, I think the Brickvault model did the Ghost more justice.
definetly
These are pretty ncie but for like $450 you can get the brickvault ghost which is Imo better and it’s bigger
Agreed
For both the ghost and phantom it’s $500. Even then who know how old those BrickLink estimates are. You have to add the shipping you’ll pay there as well
That set is like a 800 to a grand to source
@@CysgodAstua pick a brick
@@peabrain6872pick a brick doesn’t usually have that many parts, and if a part is retired it’s definitely not available
Brick vault is better than republic bricks in every feasible way
Couldn't agree more.
doesn't brick vault only sell instructions?
Why
@@bendavis5449 yes, they don't scam their customers by selling them broken disgusting used parts and pieces
@@etanwin You're the only clown here, defend a real cause not some scummy business like republic bricks
My personal experience with Timmy was not very good but that looks awesome!
Really? What happened?
He’s a terrible person… that’s all I can say based on the numerous accounts made in opposition to him as well as many accounts of people receiving terrible quality / broken figures, if you search up republic bricks hate online you will find all that you need to know. 😂😂
Ive had a bad experience with Timmy as well but a lot of his sets are pretty cool, he’s a bit of a con
Yeah Timmy is not the best person to do business with. Kind of a d bag
He charges a lot now. Even tips, lol. Who the hell charges tips now in days. That’s at restaurants NOT selling lego.
Especially love the clone pilots. They look just like in the show. They may even be able to be a clone commander too.
Yeah those are some very accurate clone pilots
I remember a yellow pilot on the republic gunship!!
(I am definitely totally 100% not bribed by Lego to say that)
I dont know I just remember a clone with some yellow on him tbh
@@jacobrozenblat6174 Dude same!!! They got the UCS Republic Gunship perfect!!!
(I am also definetely totally 100% not bribed by LEGO to say that)
I imagine, assuming the Ghost and the Rebels crew does show in Ahsoka, that LEGO will make a new Ghost. With the popularity of Ahsoka in The Mandalorian (and in general), I could see a lot of people watching Rebels for the first time to learn more about the Rebels crew (again, assuming), leading to increase desire for a Ghost. LEGO isn't the best about giving fans what they want but financially, a new Ghost could be very profitable. The old one will certainly increase in price; I know after Ahsoka showed up in the Mandalorian, the Ahsoka book jumped in price temporarily. I'm sure the LEGO sets surrounding Rebels and Thrawn, etc., will do that as well, only not temporarily. A new Ghost would be great for fans and for LEGO.
new ghost
would be so awesome 😻
We're getting a new ghost!
We're getting one 😁
This looks rather terrible. Honestly, I'd rather just pay the $400 for the official set
I really dislike republic bricks.. $400 can get you much more lego if spent elsewhere. This is a theme for his products, over priced!
As someone who is really dissapointed in not being to find a reasonably priced Ghost with minifigures can you maybe recommend some ways that I can spend my money as you say in your comment? Maybe wait for the full summer wave or buy some sets that are retiring? New Lego buyer here and would appreciate any tips!
@@GregoryAssault I’d just buy a different set or bricklink the parts!
@@GregoryAssault personally, a great looking “spaceship” would be the Guardians of the Galaxy ship that came out last summer. Nearly 2,000 pieces for $150, and it’s a beautiful model!
@@carbob9964 Yeah thats what Im talkin about! I dont necessarily wanna buy a ship kind of set just a star wars fan and wondering about any smart or obvious buys in the coming semester!
@@GregoryAssault I mean I’d also recommend the creator expert cars such as the Porsche or Mustang! Or even the large batmobiles like the 1989 ones! Great display models!
0:00 Both of BrickVault's versions are better.
All 3* and even their mini scale is better than this lol
@@fritz404 You're right.
I was planning on buying something from him, asked a really simple and reasonable question regarding the ARC-170 and got a surprisingly rude response.
That is unsurprising
What was the question and the response?
Dude I once asked him a simple question on ig and he straight up blocked me 💀
Honestly I think MandR is milking him for content.
@@tylerpinniger9958 I asked if the ARC-170 came with the decals (shown in the pictures and the review copy he sent MandR) and he didn’t respond. I followed up and he said “of course not why would they be included”. It wasn’t super rude but just unnecessarily aggressive, it’s also kinda false advertising since it’s not stated on the site and the review copy included them. It’s less than $1 worth of pieces so it’s not a huge deal but his negative reaction turned me off.
Not worth the price with yellowed lego
I like the republic brick products but it seems like more often than not the store has hiccups and service issues
I thought Republic Bricks kits were shitty?
Nah sets are pretty good but expensive. Timmy from RB though isn't the nicest dude though
The Ghost and the Phantom II are my favourite ships in Star Wars ever. I main them in SWGOH's fleet battles. Glad to see such a solid LEGO custom!
Also, the reason why the Ghost has so many Millennium Falcon-esque design cues is because its manufacturer is Corellian Engineering Corporation, the same company who produced Han Solo's YT-1300 light freighter (better known as the Millennium Falcon) and Dash Rendar's YT-2400 "Outrider".
In "Solo: A Star Wars Story" Han actually mentions that he "owns" a VCX-100, hinting that he thinks it's a great model of ship.
Those little trinkets in the two rooms are indeed holocrons. The pink/red one is the Sith holocro Ezra retrieved at the Sith temple on Malachor, and the yellow one is probably Kanan's (although I think blue would've been more appropriate)
I'm just a really big Rebels fan :)
If I'm not mistaken, those corner areas are for cargo storage fortheGhost crew (they are smugglers, among other things, after all).
I could never spend that kind of cash for a model when the guy getting that cash can't even make sure that the pieces he sends to u for a review r tanned that bad. Just the fact that he thought that would be ok and could just say something like "I'm real busy and can't check every piece for quality" or whatever the excuse would be shows he is just in it for the money and doesn't really care if his customers r happy. Timmy has a lot to learn when it comes to business and customer relations.
Edit: I should say that the build looks great and my complements to the creator
He should be grateful he gets any business with the attitude he seems to have I've heard, unless I'm mistaken

Talks about republic bricks while the man stares into my soul
dang $400 and you still get some horribly discolored pieces? that doesn't seem right....
I counted the studs on this model and the original set and they're very close to being the same size, which makes me wonder why the larger, original Phantom set couldn't dock in the back, as with the original Ghost. The Ghost and The Phantom might be scaled like that in the Rebels show, but as you already pointed out, this set here also isn't minifigure-friendly, in the way that you can't put helmets on most figures. I like the external look of this model, but my original Ghost and both Phantom versions are still my favourites.
In my personal experience, Timmy is a con.
I’ve always consider Republic Bricks as baby’s first custom. Similar instructions and building techniques as lego but still has all the little kinks that comes with building custom sets
Brickvault is miles better. Plus you don’t get blocked when asking simple questions
@@themightypizza6133 id like the full story please, just curious
@@themightypizza6133 yeah full story please?
@@chicknorris9602 republic bricks is notorious for blocking people who question his pricing etc, even simple questions will cause him to either block you or barrage you with toxic messages. It’s been well documented and is known.
What are the odds they make a new one for the Ahsoka show? If they do a new Zeb they should recolor the Demogorgon legs.
I'm just hoping that the ghost and phantom appear in the ahsoka show so lego might make a new one
From you to the Lego Designers’ ears 🙏
Well considering that the last 2 years now we have been getting the main ship of the summer show releasing at the time I’m pretty sure next years will be a ghost remake.
The Ashoka trailer did show a few familiar faces from Rebels so I wouldn’t doubt it.
well boy do I have news for you...
I owned the original set but it was in pieces so a week ago,I took the time to actually rebuild my set. It’s missing some pieces and I had to use alternate pieces but I’m proud of what I made and I’m glad I don’t have to pay $400+ for another one
Personally I think Timmy doesn't remember to be a professional with his auctions or customer service... he has great customs but he doesn't have the right attitude
the exterior is decent, but I believe even I could do better inside. Like choose one scale, the mix is a bit odd and bad design that you cant have hair-piece on them when sitting and standing. it is so half-lazy. If you are gonna sell a product I would make it stronger and actually have all the pieces at least, bad that you have to find your own pieces that are missing.
Mandr you should build Ron mcphattys ghost and do a comparison it really compares to the set
Hopefully LEGO makes a new Ghost when the Ahsoka show releases!
May aswell get the original sets for their resale price now
In November 2020 I snagged the Ghost and Phantom with all minifigs on eBay for Buy Now price of £80.
The clone pilot joke will never get old
0:42 hmmm, maybe I should look at selling mine with all the figures. I remember getting back in 2014 it is probably one of my favorite lego star wars sets that I have. I find it interesting when I look at the demand for some of the sets I got when I was a kid who just wanted legos, and they end up being like hundreds more than the original price
You should. Someone selling in my area one for $400, the 2-pack with Phantom. Personally, I'd buy a UCS Razor Crest and I can get UCS AT-AT for about that much. It is a nice set though and there are plenty of people willing to pay that much for it.
Please review his battle packs with his BARC speeders and AT-STs because I built one of his BARC speeders and it was a joke of a build
I'm a proud republicbricks member absolutely worth the money for his figures alone.
I really like the design but $400 is just too expensive for it.
“The yellow Clone Commander triples as Hera Syndulla.” A Lego designer, probably.
The subtle joke about the clone pilots got me, lol
i dont see why people spend so much money but if you like customs I'm not saying they shouldn't be a thing I'm just saying that I don't see why someone would pay a lot of money for a display piece I would just wait for lego to remake. but if yall like it go ahead and buy it
Wait. That listing that was mentioned. I recognized this picture. It looks suspiciously like the images I took when I sold it to someone last year.
I feel you on the hiding things in sets. I have my second key fob for my civic hiding in my UCS Falcon lol
I feel like thats the equivalent of putting your keys in a solid gold plated box.
@@beenthroughnam3747 I thought that originally but if someone breaks into your house I don’t think they would take something as big or fragile as that set
good idea actually!
@@beenthroughnam3747 is the box solid gold or gold plated? Gotta pick one or the other
@@hoarder66 I guess solid gold box, considering how unwieldy the UCS falcon is lol
It’s cool as a custom set I guess? But I’m a big fan of the ghost and the angles, gappy side panels, and front prongs are just all wrong. For $400 I expect accuracy. Granted, Lego’s own design is awful, but I’ve definitely seen other customs way better than this.
Yeah there’s ones that are the same price that are way better or more expensive ones that are excellent, republic bricks is overpriced garbage, im sure this comment will get removed because mr gets money from them
340$ using code fulcrum
search up brickvault, they made a very good Ghost model. 2 actually a UCS and a scaled down version. (which is still bigger than this one.)
@@cameron2900x he gets sets, not money. Can already tell you have no clue how these reviews work. As to the same price ones, that factor in Shipping?
@@octobotimus Bwaha you are so clueless hee been exposed I think he actually started the company with the dude or something like that 😂
It’s beautiful but I wish the color pallet was the same as in revels
I feel like everyone complaining about the price has never pieced something together using bricklink before. With the discount code, it's only 18 cents a piece. Lots of Studio and digital instruction builds I piece together end up being more than that, especially if I'm having to get shipments in from multiple sellers. To be able to make gigantic custom sets, with the r&d they require to design, make instructions, etc and retail them for under 20 cents a piece is pretty astounding.
It’s to be expected, it’s usually either kids who don’t know much, or adults who think everything should be free
I brought the ghost 2nd hand for 450nzd . It was heavily sun damaged so I restored it with new bricks. Very happy I have one as I've only seen 2 on market. Very rare in nz
Does anyone else really get a demi thick sorta feel with this set I just feel like it’s a little bit crunchy compared to the in universe ship
I just got this today some pieces missing but the important parts were there mostly and if y’all have the necessary pieces you can technically make a small gap in then loading dock to the under area of the pilot seat to simulate like if it had a actual walkway in instead of just a blocked off area which for me adds to the build and if you have a jumper piece with a 1x2 Zeb and helmets can fit in the gunner seat also the bottom gunner seat if you raise the pieces that the cockpilot piece is held on by one plate you can fit Ezra with his hair unless I had built that part wrong but overall made it a better Ghost for me and also the walls aren’t necessarily blocking off the paneling area I’m working on making a doorway to one of them I had spare parts for and wanted to see if it remained stable so just to make it look better now and add it to the rest of the ghost
Do you have the digital instructions and if so please can you send me them
This build looks amazing. I'm not much into Rebels but The Ghost has always looked cool and unique to me.
“Oooo I wonder if I can buy it”-me before clicking the link
“Annnnd it’s £400”
😭
The ghost is my favourite Star Wars vehicle
The subtle “clone pilot” joke lol
Republic Bricks’ design isn’t that good to be honest. I much prefer his clone wars stuff, it’s very well done compared to this.
I honestly think brickvault does a much better job. Built their custom UCS Imperial Shuttle and it was amazing.
yeah no shit. but brickvaults is a moc with thousands more pieces that is not for sale
@@ExposedUnderground but you can still buy the instructions to all their builds. And more durable.
theres some knockoff lego tie sets on aliexpress what about a review in the tie bomber? or the tie intercepter? just a neat idea great video!
I love the lego ghost! Too bad I can't buy the real one cause it's way too expensive 😆
This is a interesting model but the brinklink ghost is alot better with an Interior that's way way more accurate to the show and even has the 2 phantoms that fan doc that you can also fit minifigs in
I prefer the brick vault version but this is pretty cool.
Man, this looks smaller then the Lego official Ghost, anyone can confirm?
I counted the studs on both and they're very close to each other in size.
"I was missing this piece here" sounds like typical Republic Bricks
He called the yellow things clone pilots never thought I would hear that before I died
hi, mandr its my brthday in a month and i am thinking in getting the mos eisly cantina set (75290) should i get it or something else. i have a budget of £310 and i like this one
Brickvault’s tho
I love the interior space of this. I just purchased the new set for 2023. Slowly putting it togther.
Ryan: says phantom
Me: TAKE COVER! THE COVENANT IS COMING..oh you meant that phantom sorry
will you grt any customs from brick vault? thier mini fig scale builds are fantastic !
Where is your winter 2023 prediction video u said it would come out around now?
Awesome Lego Ghost 👻 star ship review MandR Productions.
I was lucky enough to get the original ghost and both phantoms for cheap prices
Same, luckily not long after I started collecting like a maniac, because it was already retired by then.
Looks really awesome! It’s good to see a version as mine is in the box. I wonder how my Ghost will look like when I build it.
make it lol
I really hope that the ghost is a focal point in the ahsoka show. Maybe then I can get an affordable Lego ghost lol
this aged like a fine wine🍷
hahah this moc set takes literally every detail i love about the ghost & made them smol
I ordered something from him back on May 2nd and still hasn’t arrived
I USED TO HIDE MY MONEY IN MY MILLENIUM FALCON!!!! I totally forgot about that until you said that lmao 😂
I used to hide drugs in my Lego sets lol
It’s not badly priced, and I like some of the design concepts. It’s a bit too chunky for me, and too many primary colours.
you should get a turntable or even a lightbox or something, upping the production quality of your videos would work out pretty cool i think!
this set looks really good i do wish it had minifigs.... i do hope lego would make this into a ucs set, i know its unlikely but with all the shows coming out many sets could be out in the next few years
What you are doing is amazing! Keep it up!
I started back into Lego Star Wars wanting the Rebels sets. I got the Ghost early on and lucked out just before on the price increases went really nuts. I’m saving for the minifig scale Ghost, but it is huge and going to cost a lot. This is a nice play scale so thank you for covering it. Extra points for the awesome discount code 🤓
Petition to get ryan to at least try *ONE* Brickvault custom set. maybe MTT or something
If they sponsor a video I'd be more than happy.
I was thinking about buying that but instead I bought a Gunship and 10 clone troopers with 2 pilots on his website. Hopefully they get delivered soon
I bought a set from republicbricks two weeks ago and have yet to get an update on the shipping
I bought an Obi Wan lightsaber hilt from Republic Bricks and one of the pieces was filthy. There was dirt and gunk all over it, it was fine because it was on the inside, but in the end it was no big deal.
Imagine a ucs ghost all the details in the inside like the ucs millennium falcon would be amazing 😳
the fact that the Zeb Minifig wouldnt fit in the bubble turrent makes this an easy pass for me (luckily I have the orginal with all the Ghost Crew)
Absolutely awesome video and set! I want the Lego ghost and Phantom but I'm probably not gonna be able to afford them lol. But this is a great option!!!!!!!
my opinion towards the Ghost crew (Ezra Kanan and Hera etc) has not changed, I don't think Rebels' writers did the new characters terribly well, but still I think the Ghost is quite an underrated ship, people tend to forget it because let's face it, Rebels wasn't exactly that great
yea the main rebels ensemble kind of sucks imo but some characters were passable
Agree
Rebels is on par with clone wars
Thank you Ryan,I have been waiting for this since it realease
Great interior space.
So why would anyone pay 400 usd for a fanmade moc when you can get the real thing for half the price?
I was thinking about purchasing the ghost at around Christmas time 😁
Oof, may the Cash be with you
Cool intro throwing it up in the air the and Catching it like that
Really underrated ship(s) one of my absolute favourites
I’ve been poking around in my LEGO daily bugle for spaces to hide money.
Hi ryan, could you try and review some of hachiroku 24's builds? Specifically the bad batch shuttle! Cant wait, thx
Cool set
4:56 I thought I was the only one😲.
Buy on webrick instead
I wish UA-cam ads had comments sections. I’ve seen some weird ones.
Ask M&R will we get another gunship
