[@DarkBluishGray]

I just snagged one from Kamino Bricks as well. I can't justify paying hundreds for the 2013 version, and wasn't gonna pay $650 just to get this one..

[@HelloThereRex]

That’s the move 🫡

[@Skuge_]

How much is it on kamino bricks

[@some_dude]

​@@Skuge_ 35$ but sold out by now

[@kamino-bricks]

Restocking soon!

[@JovBoyd]

How do we know it’s not just a really good replica?

[@zacharyriddle4440]

i just wish the didnt put it behind a $640 pay wall thought it will keep the price of the fig high

[@jack-is-back]

I will actually eat a clone trooper if he doesn't come out in a cheaper set in '24 or '25

[@cesruhf2605]

duh lego is just baiting the sad lego star wars fans, they're gonna for sure release him again in another set

[@Reggaetonaldo]

I don't care. 640 is nothing when you make your own money. I personally like it cause it will keep it's value high.

[@personofinterest3534]

@@ReggaetonaldoIt’s already being sold for $25 💀 so much for high value

[@957kakashi]

You can get it for cheap if you know where to look. It’s not gonna be crazy if, again, you know where to look.

[@user-gq2hn6pt5g]

After just watching the new Ahsoka episode the ammo pouch on the lego rex matches the size of the live action rex perfectly which is making me love the figure that much more

[@Minirigby22]

no shot they don't put phase 2 rex in a normal set, if not next year, soon enough. I can see the head with the bandage staying exclusive to the UCS set, but there's no reason the rest can't be reused. Even the arm printing isn't out of the ordinary for modern lego sw figures (mando, both recent bobas, fennec, ahsoka, etc)

[@javanmills6152]

I agree arm prints are finally becoming more common, but if anything is going to stay exclusive to the UCS rex it is the arm printing. The head would be too easy for them to reuse for mass production, unless they want to give Rex a different facial expression.

[@CloneCommanderCrater1102]

This isn't just the first 2020 style clone to come with arm printing, this is THE first clone to have two printed arms EVER. Lego has only ever made one other clone with arm printing and that was Echo from the Bad Batch shuttle, but he only had one arm printed.

[@Zaymations-OFFICIAL]

“There are currently no plans or rumors to include this figure in any other sets next year” Welp now it’s next year and it’s guaranteed we’re getting this figure in a cheaper set!

[@WatermelonStudios]

It’s a perfect iteration of the character. And we need him to come in a Y-Wing next year to get him out of the paywall. I wouldn’t even mind if they took away the arm printing for the cheaper set. Leave an exclusive variant in the UCS set to please everyone.

[@HelloThereRex]

Support the cause #captainrexsywing I will not rest until I get what we want

[@manuxx3543]

Bo katan has detailed arm priting in a 50e set Fuck them if they take it away on rex The band aid should be the only exclusive thing on that rex

[@starlego96]

If it comes in a affordable set it would have printing and the same face LEGO wont downgrade a minifig also armprinting is more common nowadays, it would be a cheap move from lego to downgrade the lego figure. Look at the Boba Mech, it's better than the UCS version and has armprinting despite being a 16 $ set.

[@manuxx3543]

@@starlego96 Mace windu is a good example Ucs set: no arm print, unique sand stuff on his robe Playset: normal robe, arm print

[@starlego96]

@@manuxx3543 yes it selfish and childish that people want to have him exclusive because they paid more than other people

If they’re gonna print the waist cape i wished they’d at least print all around the legs

To me Rex is a plus. I'm getting the Venater not the figs.

Using 2023 arm prints on 2013 torso makes it look better

[@NachoCheese2]

0:48 besides the printing mess up it looks good but looks like they tried to not make him look so squished with that messed printing going above the helmet

[@cinnamonjarl4096]

You can use the flood light to fill in the second helmet hole they get a waist cape for him

[@NoobToobJamarMemes]

How have I not heard of Kamino Bricks 😮 If this place is legit, it's a freaking gold mine!!!

[@lpmarveledits7085]

I think it’s fair that Admiral yularn will be exclusive to this set only for at least 3-4 years and we get Rex in a set but not a season finale with handbange and a little different arm print/without arm print in a 140+ set

[@Hero1on1]

Actually first 2020 clone with arm printing is echo! Well he only has 1 printed arm

[@Xyzima]

Img oing to list all the reasons i like my GCC rex over the official one 1. No helmet holes, i dont mind the hiles but they look better without, i drilled one into the correct spot to put a rangefinder. 2. No waist cape print, obvious 3. The welds are the correct color 4. No oversized ammo pouch

[@decoderhacker4062]

"It's perfect. Perfect. Everything down to the last minute detail."

[@annatipping2286]

Stupid thing about the waist cape is that the reason Lego removed them was to make them be able to sit down while playing but the thing is in a style of Lego designed specifically for kids to play (dreamz) they have waist capes and for a $650 that kids won’t be able to afford or play with because there is no where to put the to sit in the venator

[@HondaOhnaka]

i made my own! it's much cheaper and it's more maneuverable than lego's official ones :)) (reason: softer and thinner cloth)

[@thegreatsnowblizzard3196]

Personally I've always felt the reason why they don't give rex a waist cape is because Lego want to have consistency with how the clones look and it's a stylistic choice they want to keep.

[@flyer3154]

They can sit down with a waist cape. I have the original phase 2 Rex and it can sit no problem with one

[@HondaOhnaka]

@@flyer3154 yeah but mine ended up having a permanent fold on the arc trooper kama LOL So i just make my own so that if one breaks, i have a spare

[@royalfrigern5297]

Maybe, new republic Y-wing product will contain this type captain rex.

[@TheEnlight311]

How does it feel to predict a microfighter that came out almost a year later

[@kylescott6608]

You shouldn't have to buy a cloth kama from a 3rd party seller in order to have the minifigure look accurate. A minifigure included in a $650 UCS set should be as accurate as possible. That's like if a Darth Vader minifigure didn't come with a cape.

[@daivdninjabiomech7888]

I feel like the pauldron might be the same price as the fig eventually seeming as the fig is leaking out but the pauldron is

[@brendobaggins]

Ngl, I like this one better than my GCC one, I might cop😵‍💫

[@brickmanusa]

[@sillynakedpeople]

The rangefinder adds a world of difference

[@VikTheViking7274]

The only thing I’m disappointed about is that he doesn’t have a waist cape

[@OneFunkyFrog]

Kamino Bricks rocks 🙌🙌🙌

[@starlego96]

And to think some people want to have him exclusive to the USC 🤡

[@dat1guy314]

The new ahsoka episode makes the giant pauldron accurate, as the couple seconds he was shown it was pretty large just like this figure

[@iikpsyt4619]

People keep dissing this minifigure, but it’s so much better than the 2013 one. $650 is an amount I don’t have right now though. Remember, we asked for exclusive figures like when the gunship happened.

[@svenoualpha9673]

it's funny that you point that out cause dont you remember why they didnt include Cody in the UCS gunship ?? they said it wasnt fair to put an highly requested fig in an expensive set 🙃

[@svenoualpha9673]

Also people dissing this figure have valid points, if you like it great for you, no one asked you to hate it so stop hating on people because they have a different opinion than yours

[@arcfordo1787]

[@thegreatsnowblizzard3196]

​@@svenoualpha9673 I'm confused didn't the original comment point out that people asked for exclusive Minifigure and Lego listened to the fans and added them back in to UCS sets.

[@0rion227]

the only thing i hate, if your not gonna have waist capes, dont print them they look so awful

[@TheDarkKnight11106]

Did you say your rex didn't come with a pauldron?! You could claim off of that

[@doktorsmiles2034]

Lego doesnt care about their fans and quality of their products. Cheap and overpriced. A venator with less then 5500 pieces for 650 dollars with a rex with 2 slithers printed on that want to be a wastecape. No way to make me not hate this set for all of legos faults. Im waiting for a custom version thats half the price without figures

​@@smoothyodaproductions4373 that's your opinion, he simply isnt better in every way like you said: Chest pouches being too big, printed kama, helmet holes ruining the shape and proportions "bUt cOmOn tHiS OnE yOu CaN AcTuAlLy puT a RaNgEFiNdeR" ah yes the rangefinder that sits way too high cause the holes are simply in the wrong spot ? I admit he has two upgrades, the print on his arms (even tho I personally dont think it's an upgrade cause all of the other clones dont/wont have this feature so it'll make rex stands out too much but anyway) and maybe his prints are overall better but that's kinda the bare minimum compared to a minifig released 10 years before this one lmao. 2013 rex isnt perfect we know that, we're just saying he has less flaws than the new one, yall are saying we're blinded by nostalgia but no, these flaws are valid point based on objectivity, for me yall are biased cause yall definitly cant afford the old one and never had the opportunity to get it so yall are trying to convince yourself that "its not that bad"
