Custom LEGO V-wing Starfighter Look'n Sleek!

[@deanj.9324]

I love that even the smaller, not always in the forefront ships are getting a proper build from the MOC builders. Thank you guys so much!

[@samjackson9560]

I only found out about this fighter from playing battlefront 2. Glad to see it get a really sleek Lego build

[@JM64]

I'd love to see y'all attempt Grievous' wheel bike

[@qwertyazerty3847]

You guys should run contests where the prize is an instructions bundle. I know that would be really fun to join, and a chance for people who don't have a massive budget to get your instructions.

[@Akhen.]

Thats cool and all but this is not a charity but a shop, they are making those to earn some money you know...

[@redheadluke9979]

M8 it ain’t the instructions cost that hold me back but the bricklink piece cost...

[@luukjacobs2422]

Luuk Jacobs same for me like 75 bucks for that ship my god!

[@Aperson3916.]

Yeah i agree

[@briankim2555]

Noice

[@jacor653]

1:57 Darth Maul's Scimitar, as well as the the Eta-2 Actis-class Jedi Interceptor, also had Twin Ion Engine technology before the V-wing.

[@ElMoppo1]

Yeah. The V-Wing was pretty much a mass-production version of the Jedi Interceptor.

[@BrickVault]

good to know :)

[@BoofertMcToofert]

It's a common misconception that the V-wing lands like it does in the video. It does land like this in legends material, but in canon (yes, even in Episode III itself) it uses the wings as landing gear. Maybe you guys could redesign it, because it might fix a lot of the issues you had (the brittle landing gear mostly).

[@CloneCommanderCrater1102]

Finally someone else notices that

[@ToaArcan]

And then _The Bad Batch_ happened and now we have V-Wings that land like this except the wings face backwards. I think V-Wings just land however they damn well please.

[@Alex_-in1zb]

If we’re going on the theme of Republic builds, I can’t wait for a Republic Y-Wing and an ETA-2 Actis Class Interceptor (hopefully to scale!)

[@bluesteele5786]

The original version of the V-Wing was the first Star Wars Lego set I built, so it's pretty cool to see It in its new and improved state

[@Crazylegoman3791]

George Estep the first one I built was anakin’s snowspeeder.

[@duffzilla1292]

Second favourite Republic starfighter, favourite is the ARC-170

[@whippyfc]

Duffzilla12 mines the LAAT then the arc 170

[@nyanshark_]

oh yeah the ARC was always my favorite :D

[@Smarty7752]

I always liked the V-wing but when i saw the headhunter, i was i love

[@daves.customs]

Thomas Jenkins really did an amazing job designing this ship!

[@plagueis5013]

in the cross section of the ship and in battlefront it show that the wing assemblies rotate 90 degrees and rest on those pointed things that stick out from behind the wings

[@andymac4883]

You can also see that in action in RotS, when they land next to the Emperor's shuttle on Coruscant, but they're sort of tiny in shot, and with the rain and all that it's a little hard to see at first. Then again, I actually prefer the way the wings fold here, like the concept art shows.

[@nikoisland6731]

Im realizing this is probably my favorite ship in starwars-

[@ChocolateAsian9000]

Really good start for a Lego Arwing from Star Fox 🤔

[@BathTubNZ]

I love how the space balls eagle 5 always shows up in these videos.

[@nlgameboy]

In Battlefront II (2017) you can see That iT lands with the wings as landing gear.

[@RIGHTFOOTPYRO]

weird

[@andymac4883]

It's very hard to see, but they do the same in RotS as well, in the scene where the Emperor's shuttle lands at the hospital. Rather than the radiator wings both folding forward, as this model and some of the official toys do, the whole assembly rotates so that the wings stay lined up.

[@jonbeech5158]

@@andymac4883 you also see them on kenobi's ship.

[@andymac4883]

@@jonbeech5158 Oh, that's a good eye! Never noticed it before, but now I see that you can even see how the wings angle and splay out to spread the points of contact.

[@The3gg]

Getting closer and closer to those Delta-7 Jedi starfighters

[@mathiasgreyjoy1611]

I attempted to build this set, and here is my review: I struggle to express how disappointed I am with this set. Do not be fooled by all the people in the comments of these videos talking about how cool it looks, because that doesn’t matter. The vast majority of commenters have not attempted to BUILD the set. I built with completely brand new pieces, the instructions are unbelievably complicated, and the build is completely flimsy. If you breathe on this thing, pieces WILL fly off. The heat sinks protecting the Astromech? They’re attached by faith. Those dishes with the conical hats attached on the wings? Not a chance of those staying on. The blasters are not tight and cannot be posed, they just flop down with gravity, and it boggles my mind how they are posable in this video because they’re not held by anything. Good luck getting those four panels connected properly to create the triangular wedge shape, I have never been able to figure it out. The wing folding function barely works. I cannot stress this enough, this set is unbelievably difficult to build, and completely unintuitive. If you are brand new to LEGO or custom instructions DO NOT start with this one, and you may not want to bother with this set at all. Someone else in the comments talked about how difficult the build was, and how you had to “trust the process.” Well, I tried to trust it on two separate attempts to build, and it still doesn’t come together properly. “Expertly designed” is not remotely true. “Surprisingly robust” no, not at all? I don’t know how they can say “I wouldn’t call it delicate.” Did they glue the thing? Because I don’t know how this will ever stay in one piece without glue. If you want hours of frustration I guess this is the set for you. Seriously, it’d be one thing if they were honest and stated that this is not an easy set to build. I have bought several other instructions from Brick Vault, and now I am extremely concerned that the rest will be as poor as this one.

[@R3VON]

I really would like to see a Z-95 Headhunter

[@quakerome4594]

V-Wing was underrated during battlefront 2 PS2

[@jamesschmidt7307]

Awesome I love it!!! Hope you make a MTT soon. That would be epic!

[@uselessunits]

I love the design but I do want to see a V-Wing moc builder who actually makes the V-wing with the canonical landing pose with the wings turning 90 degrees instead of folding up. ^~^

[@jascow]

Theres like 7 clips of it landing and yea your right but it also like extends the tube out like in the moc

[@michaelswitzer2121]

The guys who make these are geniuses

[@ironstrider7659]

Looks very cool and reminds me of the first Lego Star Wars set i've gotten.

[@tylerferron9019]

Jaeger Eisenseite same! My first ever LEGO Star Wars set was the 2006 V-wing!

[@tyfon4429]

It took you a minute to advertise.... thank God we have JangBricks.

[@shinobitreecko8442]

This isn't a set though, so unless Jang builds this, he won't review it

[@tyfon4429]

ShinobiTreecko8 About time you watch his reviews. 🤗 That, is how you do a re-view.

[@CuppaTeaExe]

Really cool as always! Just a question of curiosity, are you going to stick to star wars creations, or are you going to branch out more like you do occasionally. It would be really cool if there were some creations from subnautica. That would be awesome!

[@connorjones5512]

Design it if you want to see it!!!

[@vapurubiscure5306]

Subnutica in lego would be cool

[@briankim2555]

Love that game

[@SlipYoke6081x]

The V-Wing is so cool, I remember it was the republic bomber in the og battlefront 2 space battles

[@jascow]

Bought the instructions like a month or two ago and just started ordering the pieces its arriving monday and im very excited

[@mi3ciuu99]

Very nice model as always but it’s really to wide... Could you try making some upgrades to make it look a bit more narrow in the future (v2 version like in u-wing for example)?

[@TheGhostRydr]

I love the V-Wing and this is an excellent model! The folding wings are nice but that's not how it's supposed to change for a landed position. LEGO keeps getting this wrong too. The fuselage seems a little too thick but that's a minor complaint.

[@xaayer]

Only the first lego being does this. The others have the rotating wings as in canon.

[@Daft_Vader]

​@@xaayerLego has the wings rotate facing up, but they should be facing down

[@tristanmylo5299]

Too bad Lego can't seem to make a V-wing just like this. This moc brings the actual Lego set to shame!

[@apprenricebrickoflegend]

Nice, compact ship with some great details and functions! 👍

[@galiathen]

Awesome build .....take my money !!!!!

[@LuckyFlanker13]

Hey brickvaulters, have any of you guys thought about making the Phoenix Home? The Pelta class version, not the quasar-fire class. Yes, making it proportional to the A-wing would make it pretty large, but a nice challenge could be making it modular and easily disassembled and put back together.

[@Jackman2869]

This is such a sleek and beautiful but simple and small could you maybe do a version in black?

[@elisabethperegrine3092]

Do the Eta-2 Actis-class interceptor!

[@JM64]

Impressive for such a small ship! It must be difficult to get all those angles so close together. I've also never noticed the indent that runs along the middle of the ship before. P.S.: V-Wing from the rogue squadron (n64) game is something I hope to see uploaded here at some point as well, it's never had a proper moment to shine.

[@zt7088]

I’ve wanted to build this awhile and finally did yesterday. Some thoughts: 1. The instructions could be better. There were some places where the orientation/position of bricks is not clear and took some heavy guesswork/retracing to get it right. This was especially the case when building the round part of the fuselage. 2. You have to trust the process somewhat. There were some points putting it together where it was very wobbly or the gears weren’t working and it made me very unsure I had put it together correctly. I just had to run with it and hope it came together. It did, but not without some heartache and worrying. 3. The end result looks really good. I have a feeling the designer might do some things differently today vs 3 years ago, but this one still holds up. It’s very nicely zoomable (if you hold it right) and looks cool on the stand.

[@mathiasgreyjoy1611]

I attempted to build this set as well. 1. "The instructions could be better." Uhh, absolutely, in some places they are just unbelievably complicated. 2. "You have to trust the process somewhat." I've tried to build this thing twice and can't figure it out. It's incredibly flimsy even after being fully completed, some parts are held on by faith. The four panels that make up the nose are impossible to fit together. 3. "The end result looks really good." I sure wish I could agree but there is no end result, because the thing is impossible to build. Every time I am left wit ha mess, and nothing but hours and hours of frustration. I really hope this set is an outlier, and that it's just particularly bad, and that I was unlucky to start with it. I have bought several other instructions from Brick Vault, and now I am extremely concerned that the rest will be as poor as this one. Maybe Thomas Jenkins is just not a very good builder, and others like Jerac are much better. I can only hope.

[@zt7088]

@@mathiasgreyjoy1611 my memory of the build isn’t great anymore, but I definitely feel your pain when doing the rotating portion. That was the toughest part for me. And I also remember being frustrated trying to click the ball joints of the nose in place while also not being able to apply a lot of force to get them in. Their older models suffered from unclear instructions and weak connections that were probably normal then. It was 3 or 4 years old when I built it. Now I think the expectation is to be able to treat it a bit more roughly and more like an actual Lego set. Though, the set has held up fine as a desk ornament since completion but I confess I only take off the stand to fly it around every now and then.

[@EdgeofBricks]

Very accurate and great design! Need few little modifications, ex. for wings foils

[@erikm5121]

I think this might be my first BrickVault purchase! This looks like one fun build! I’ve got a few other clone wars builds by y’all bookmarked too!

[@XplodingTurtle]

I was literally thinking about this set as a moc 3 days ago

[@Moldeyawsome12]

You should make an Imperial V Wing

[@rmmproductions3886]

I’ve already built an accurate minifigure scale v wing on my channel but this blows mine out of the park!

[@Jackman2869]

The day when Lego decides to add Wedge Tiles to they're inventory will be a glorious day indeed hmm.

[@acegamerstudios5072]

Make the K-wing Starfighter from the Rebel Alliance

[@CloneCommanderCrater1102]

It looks really good but the landing mode is incorrect, if you look at ROTS very closely when Palpatine lands on Coruscant there is one V-wing that lands behind his shuttle and it shows the entire wing formation moving as one with the guns rotating downwards. Also those red cone pieces do actually exist in the dark red colour.

[@reesew2068]

Man this is cool

[@greg9985]

Awesome job!

[@vincentkosharek2216]

Could you do a imperial version

[@logan_343]

I'm currently making one based off this model.

[@quinten2529]

[@brandonharbinson1418]

Would be cool to have a variation that uses the s foils as landing gear like is shown in some media

[@RushianBear]

I would love for you guys to release a moc for Anakin and Obi-Wan's Jedi Interceptors from Episode 3! Those are some of my favorite starfighters, aside from the X-Wing which you guys already have ;)

[@azulims]

Also btw I am soo hyped every week for these custom creations so keep these Star Wars builds coming! Oh and maybe some more Mad Max Fury Road? :)?

[@NewEnglandIV]

Seriously impressive. Looks great!

Could you guys make anakin's and obi wan kenobis jedi interceptor. Also a at st minifig scale

[@jeffreytindall6126]

The V-wing actually had only 1 leg and the wings would act like back legs to support it from falling.

[@Leia.77]

That’s way to oversized but it still looks really good

[@juancristobalrojas9212]

And the republic dropship when will it be available? Great v wing by the way

In battlefront 2 kamino map they use wing as a landing gear but in revenge of sith they use landing gear like that model,, weird.

[@bajailegomed2672]

cool vid

[@suupreem1299]

Why don't u put a jumper piece instead of studs for the legs on the back

Hey! Do you guys plan to add more coins in your store? Like the brazilian coin, for people who live there can buy your intructions.

Its a A wing but without the side wings.

The landing position is awful, in the game you can see in Kamino the way they land

[@cuptainreese]

can we get an imperial version?

[@beuhlig]

Would it be possible to make an imperial version of this?

[@benjaminmiller3523]

That would just be a color swap on the outside tbh. Since you get the instructions but no pieces, you'd just need to make a list of the parts you'd need to swap. It's be pretty easy I'd wager.

[@vinnylewis1951]

How many parts does it have

[@justinletto6009]

Do an every avengers mini fig part 2 if u can your fans want it
