WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE R2-D2 SET? GOOD? BAD? LET ME KNOW!!!! + This Was One of The Most Time-Consuming Videos to Make on This Channel PLEASE Share it With A Friend So They Can See the New Set Up!

[@jj_bricks8439]

I’d raver send my money on another set. Then the R2D2 but it is a really cool set and if you like star wars I would definitely say yes

[@wendywong5469]

Just got mine yesterday. Looking forward to build it soon

[@general_cameroni]

The internal mechanism is definitely complicated, but I thought that was kinda the point. I'm a very experienced builder and had to pay close attention while making it, but it was a super fun challenge and was totally on point for an 18+ set.

[@joevictor53]

Same. I've built a lot of system sets but I had to pay attention with this one and go back to redo part of it when I messed up. It's probably fine for Technic fans

[@corrymiklos669]

I thought I busted mine cuz the middle leg got stuck but I just pushed it up more and it fixed it😂😭

[@burgerfinn6279]

Sorry I’m so late to this But I literally only got This set On Thursday And I Managed to Not mess it up once even though this is my first ever Stars wars build

[@CASHPABLOG]

It’s pretty simple, maybe if u can’t read instructions or have two left hands than it can be challenging

[@SirLangstalotProductions]

I think the r2 figure is fine but I think they could have chromed the head for the figure. That would be really nice and a rare varient for the figure

[@expertarcher8542]

I was kind of upset they didn’t do a sale for may the 4th. Sure the new sets are cool. But that doesn’t help me get the UCS Falcon.

[@BrightestWitchBricks]

Visuals look amazing!! Great new set up! Hype for 10k

[@TommyCBricks]

Appreciate it!

[@RamaDeeZ]

I'm definitely getting R2 for Christmas this year, who else?!

[@flash12319]

yes I was definitely considering it

[@RamaDeeZ]

@@flash12319 nice!

[@icefoxanimations]

Nah. No buzz saw no deal.

[@matthewhackney4279]

Won’t need to, easily got it the second it launched

[@calummorgan9982]

I have it. Hint: Make sure you follow the 3rd leg instructions very carefully as the 3rd leg on mine won't stay up :(

[@emperormilk_]

As always Tommy your videos are great quality, ur soo close to 10k lets go

[@maxbaumann9724]

Icompletly agree with all your comments and observations. Great build, clear instructions you should pay attention and a fantastic model.

[@Fredchair]

I have no idea how a channel so small has such a beautiful set up, you rocked it man!

[@praxus0793]

My walmart , was there just this morning, put out about twenty of these on an end cap in toys, $100 each. Came home and ordered the ko version for half the price off Ali.

[@christophercorbett1886]

Thanks for the review it has made me realise that I must have r2d2 in my collection although il probably have to wait a while to get one I’m positive it will be worth the wait thank you and keep up the good work

[@TommyCBricks]

No worries! Glad I could help :D

[@UrMomsChauffer]

A great build. The center section is pretty solid. The head was a little scary to connect. The only issue I have is with the legs. They're a little wobbly. Works great as a static piece. The lightsaber is neat, but difficult to get your hands on it.

[@stuartarmstrong1830]

Excellent, high quality video! Well done. Good luck for 10K and beyond!

[@TommyCBricks]

Thanks a ton! we hit it the other day :D

[@stuartarmstrong1830]

@@TommyCBricks Hurrah! Well done! Hope you're celebrating!

[@MrLegallaws]

Thank you for the review. Does R2-D2's head just sit on top or does it actually attach to the top of the middle internal mechanism some how? Mine does not attach. Thanks in advance.

[@tylerjayyt4965]

Like that at the start where you don't hate them, but i like when you're critical, it's the kind of monetary advice we need

[@KazudaXiono]

It’s a brilliant set, I love all the features it has, but it could use some improvements. I would also like to see an updated BB-8 because it’s a bit too blocky in the head to fit with the new R2. I love lighting in your video too!

[@KazudaXiono]

Also we need a UCS C3p0! My R2 is feeling a bit incomplete.

[@TommyCBricks]

Would love that have no idea if Lego would attempt it though it would be HUGE XD

[@vinodmag]

Hi. Have a question regarding the periscope. I just finished the build and I find that the periscope is not flush with the head when not in use. I have seen some reviews online, and for the most part it looks like it does flush in the head. I don't know if I did something wrong in the process of the build?? Any thoughts?

[@duncandonuts5268]

I'm about to build mine. Is there anything you think I should know before I start building?

[@tomatotown877]

I like how you have the tennis balls to talk trash about lego and not sugar coat it

[@aquire1]

This is the first of your videos I've seen How do you only have 10k subs

[@TommyCBricks]

Thanks You :D

[@gregr3720]

LEGO should have included a hologram Leia as the mini-figure.

[@97SEMTEX]

Lego really needs to sort their logicists out to ensure people can actually buy the sets they want, within 3 months of it getting released by lego. Lego should know by now that making stuff in the quantities they are making them in at the moment is not sufficient. You either need to up production, start production of relevant lines earlier or make a system change on their website to allow backorders always. Making communication with buyers better would also help with this. These things are easily done and they either don't think there is an issue and that comes off as out of touch or they're uninterested or they're just plain incompetent. They need to fix this issue as it will only get worse if they don't

[@thatguy685]

I like the sphero r2d2 aka the r2 at the beginning

[@hunterwillyard4934]

What lights are you using in this set?

[@X93GRK]

Help! The 3rd leg is stuck. I haven't finished R2D2 yet. So I can make changes. It's still open and i get out the 3rd leg if i help it but it Will never work if I finish it..

[@duncandonuts5268]

I think the R2 mini figure has just become a classic look at this point. That would be my only guess as to why they haven't changed it.

[@jackjordan1155]

The 3rd leg works fine however when r2 is leaning back and the 3rd leg is out it doesn’t seem to hold its weight. Anyone else have this problem and how did you fix it?

[@joshuasoto212]

I have this problem, currently looking for a solution.

[@JAM609]

Supply demand and scalping is why it’s impossible to get

[@TommyCBricks]

definitely a stock issue as well only being sent 50 for week 1 (sold out in my store in 5 mins) and 10 for week 2 (that sold out in 15mins) lego need to be making more so the demand is met

[@endangeredmexican9644]

I cancelled mine which was in backorder because I want the daily bugle instead

[@SteveSmith-zf4pt]

It was difficult to make when chief’n bowls 😬

[@Mr_Shook]

I see this everytime I go in my local target.

[@greatbuilder345]

I feel like the astromech mold is fine as it is but I do agree that it needed some exclusive printing

[@adamlower6795]

I was lucky since my store gets shipments on Wednesday

[@darthsarcastus1064]

While I admire the UCS sets for their complexity and the finished look of the set I can't say that they really feature in my most wanted list as opposed to the sets with play features and multiple minifigures. Hence why I probably won't be buying this set. I think the most expensive set I've bought is the new AT-AT (75288). Also my reason for not purchasing the UCS sets is my lack of display space, another reason why I haven't got the MB Mos Eisley Cantina. I'd love that set but it would get built, dismantled and sit in a box forever.

[@TLKxSOLUTION]

I have it !!! On the last bag it says 75308 pieces and 2314 puzzles !!

[@MajDuty]

Ha, is there some footage of M&R in this video?

[@kians6674]

Im 14 and i have built like 10-11 lego sets and the hardest one was like 70 bucks and i just got this am i screwed

[@New2Kendo]

Lego has made it clear, Minifigs are not important in UCS sets

[@TommyCBricks]

im pretty sure when Lego said that a lot of people in the community was in up raw about it and even if that point was valid this its not a ucs set

[@New2Kendo]

@@TommyCBricks its not marked UCS but it is considered a UCS by most everyone

[@MattFailsLife]

Tbh I completely forgot about this set 😂

[@dwightk.schrute7173]

I’ve got the R2 from 2012. Should I get this one too?

[@joevictor53]

Personally I'd say yes. I loved that one and ended up buying it a couple of years ago. I built it last summer and I felt bad about replacing it so soon but this one just looks so much better. It has better features, looks more accurate, uses newer building techniques and pieces. Also it looks like it'll work better with BB-8 while the old one was too blocky. I'm almost done building this one and when I'm done, I'm going to sell the old one.

[@TheLegoBoy]

I am not wasting money saving it for upcoming projects and Lego sets to buy!

[@cab1stborn]

Lol target has them overstocked now… still too expensive for my liking

[@imaddictedtostarwars3949]

And it has a sticker for the plaque

[@TommyCBricks]

I don't mind stickers in sets I understand why they do them but your right sets this expensive should have more printed elements

[@Germoney814]

Impossible to get? I bought it first day it was released

[@thedudecalledalan9095]

Na man your looking at the entire lego review community Some do speak their negatives But few ever tear it a new one

[@Coaster_Crazy]

Hard to get lol !? I got one for Valentine’s off my fiancé and she said it was easy to get hold off

[@calummorgan9982]

When the 3rd leg doesn't stay up on my set 🥺🥺

[@TommyCBricks]

something inside will be built wrong check the technic, sorry it won't be an easy fix

[@calummorgan9982]

@@TommyCBricks Sadly I don't have the will power to rebuild it basically from scratch again 😂😂

[@toddbretz4303]

i am 11 and built this set

[@snazzy8767]

I refuse to believe this is a TommyCBricks video because where the fuck is the smoke machine???

[@BrickTemplar]

This whining at 5:34 reminds me of the plastic scale modelling. You see, some folks complain there are too many details and a model is too difficult to assemble. I purchased a more simple kit once which they found ok, and had to buy a few add-ons, which resulted in a price close to a detailed set, because the cheaper set had some errors like the wrong tank wheels and no machine gun. I wish I'd just bought a good, more expensive, detailed set sooner. There are good models and there are young kid's toys. But perhaps some kids will be disappointed to find out in the future how dull their non-complex toys are. Same with Lego.

[@Ethan-tm5vi]

We're one obvious joke away from the thumbnail

[@gregr3720]

I can't believe that people would have a difficult time following the instructions. Really?
