@@devynsmith If you have a few minutes, see about looking up the story behind R2-KT, it's well worth the read and a pretty cool real world event that made it into Star Wars. Might change your mind. Though to be fair it is an astromech and those aren't everyone's bread and butter.

This isn't a terrible idea, but pricing it at $100 is INSANE (especially when there’s already a great buildable R2 at that price). Imo this should've been one R2 unit with extra pieces to swap the highlights to various colors (blue, red, green, pink) and a handful of accessories for $25-$30.

Long time fan of your channel here, David. As a Moc-builder who mostly tears apart Lego sets I buy so that I can create new stuff, I actually really like the concepts of all these sets they’ve just announced here. The Dark Falcon? Amazing idea, would have died to have that as a kid. The Tie/X-Wing combo? Also great, and it reminds me of how the old tie fighters back in the day had the “feature” that you could take a winglet off because they were just held in place by technic pins. And this droid set? Again, I would have had a lot of fun as a kid making horrific nightmare fuel creations from these droids and the spare parts. The issue here remains, as always, that the sets are overpriced. Lego Star Wars is the one line where we know we are overpaying on average by $10-20 per set, but even considering that, I still feel subjectively that the Dark Falcon should be $130-150, and the is droid set should be like $50 and maybe scaled down, maybe have one less droid. Could care less if the figs are canon or not, could care less if the exclusive minifigures will eventually sell well on the after market. What I care about is the concept of the play set and the potential for new stuff afterwards VS the actual dollars I have to pay. Because if I need to scratch that itch, I can always use my own spare parts or go to a used Lego store (as long as it’s not bricks and minifigs), and get whatever I need there.
