LEGO Star Wars IMPERIAL LANDING CRAFT Comparison! (7659 vs 75221 | 2007 vs 2018)

The Imperial Landing Craft is seldom seen in Star Wars however we have two LEGO sets of it to compare! The first LEGO Star Wars Imperial Landing Craft released in 2007 as set no. 7659 & more recently it was remade in 2018 as set no. 75221! Each Landing Craft has a unique set of Minifigures and play features. LEGO designers made a lot of changes with the 2018 model that are great improvements and interesting to see compared to the completely different 2007 set!

Since polls are gone just tell me which ones better here! RIP POLLS 😭 (Also I'm an idiot and put the nose back on wrong while dusting/cleaning the 2018 set)

[@Polly-kb2hm]

Rip

[@turkeyhnter76]

The old one in my opinion cause of all the space for the minifigures

[@ianmattek2312]

New one, but old one is close. Rip polls

[@Polly-kb2hm]

2007 I think

[@djljrobloxmore8700]

2007 more troopers

[@BricksForThought]

Ryan: "The 2007 model had some shortcomings as far as the strength of the build, as you've seen throughout the review" *Doesn't break anything on the set, not even the top wing* Also Ryan: Breaks the 2018 model whenever he picks it up

[@cerealboss425]

I was waiting for someone to point that out

[@SageSea1]

Missing context. He held the 2018 by its weak spot before he said it was its weak spot. The only pieces that broke off the 2018 model were the pieces he wasn’t supposed to hold by; the reason he held it by them a few times was the muscle memory from holding the 2007 model that way. He was able to flip the 2018 model 360 by the fin and it didn’t break. He didn’t “break” the older model because he was a lot more cautious with it, and if he lifted by the fin it was a centimeter at most. You can hold the 2018 model by the rear easily and comfortably too, the best way to hold the ship. If you swooshed the old model like he did with the new model the fin would be jeopardized and the weakly set pieces within the holding compartment would be flying around inside. The new model is objectively more sturdy. Don’t believe me? Try a drop test

Lego: "Should the imperial landing craft remake keep the huge missiles, bomb dropping feature, detachable hull, and wing mechanism? Also Lego: "Nah, just throw on some stud shooters and make a ramp that minifigures can't use, kids love that stuff"

[@SageSea1]

The wing mechanism trade off isn’t a loss in value, for reasons stated in the video. Agreeably the ballistae in the older model are much cooler and more functional than the new stud shooters. That said its green accent “buttons” don’t flow with the set nearly as well as the perfectly blended black/red shooters on the cockpit in the newer version. And the black spheres intertwined with the white blocks around it is a huge hit/miss appearance wise, while again the stud shooters are seamless and easily removable if you so choose. Ballistae gets points for the ability for stormtroopers to use them as base defense weapons on the drop off. Also figures can use the ramp on the new model, I’m not sure what you mean by saying otherwise.

[@whitechili4168]

Fun fact, this vehicle made its first appearance in the _Shadows of the Empire_ video game and was added to episode IV in a later special edition.

You had the wrong cap for the imperial shuttle pilot. It’s supposed to be the same from the Krennic’s shuttle microfighter.

I think the 2018 one would be great if it where $70 and had 4 Sandtroopers instead of Kenobi and r2 which really doesn’t go well with it

[@zanderrehberg4735]

Not sure if you noticed but you put together the nose of the 2018 version wrong, if you look up an image you’ll realize that it is suppose to be flat. However you have put 4 pieces upside down resulting in the nose to slant downward after the windshield. But great video :)

[@demetriousferris6675]

the old one had that feel the the AT-OT and Dropship lego set did, and i loved that those two sets were the only ones that had that feel of having 2 vehicles kind of act like they transformed (at least in star wars)

[@SiOConnor]

Awesome I was hoping this would happen soon 😃

[@vinnysajeep4037]

I don’t completely agree with the 2018 one being more accurate mainly because of the wings feature. In the movies and shows the wings go down seamlessly but on the 2018 one they go down in sections and not seamlessly like the 2007 one. Also I believe that the playability of the 2007 one far surpasses the 2018 one because of how many features it has, it has the beautifully integrated giant spring loaded shooter, a feature to drop bombs, and a feature to literally make it a DROP ship by letting you DROP the troop area. But hey this may just be my nostalgia talking, great vid keep up the good work!

[@samturpie1756]

I think for sets like this that are designed to carry a few troopers, they should have one trooper to fill each space, and for most they should also come with at least one figure to fight them

[@SmashSuperODSTs]

Looking at the two versions of the Landing Craft, I feel like a hybridized version of both sets would be interesting. Imagine the 2018 version with the launchers, bombs and detachable troop bay from the 2007 version. The shuttle would still retain the look of the 2018 version with the deployable loading ramp and adjustable wings. The minifigures should be four stormtroopers, two regular and sandtroopers as well as an Imperial Pilot to pilot the shuttle.
