[@mariovelez578]

Kinda sad how the astromech droid is literally the LEGO colors but the McDonald’s brand is way more recognizable

[@jaya3582]

I feel like if they added blue and green it would look more like Lego colors, even if they might not be the strict Lego logo colors

[@acatstudios8853]

It’s because they added too much yellow

[@Faraxes]

It would look better with white legs, Lego logo don’t have that much yellow, that little bit of detail on the body and head would be enough. But it’s easy fix, I think everyone has a ton of spare R2D2s so it’s easy to get white legs.

[@gbrow1604]

The problem is, there's not much yellow in the Lego logo so the yellow and red of the droid are more synonymous with McDonalds.

[@AHomelessDorito]

Imagine how many McNuggets I could get for $110

[@benlandis6317]

Super disappointing that no one is talking about how the astromech is named Lego and it is the logo colors. Yes it also looks like a McDonald’s droid but the fact that no one is mentioning the other side of it is is kinda weird.

[@o.k.productions5202]

Lol. Honestly didn’t even realize that. Though this is my first time hearing the droids name, it still would have taken me an embarrassingly long time to figure that out by myself.

[@OlleMoquist]

@@benlandis6317 You'd think they would be better informed as LAN members who get sets early. Lego should really start hanging out some basic trivia/info to reviewers.

The swapping wings are known as “Uglies” in SW and are part of the lore, usually used by pirates who take remnant pieces from space battles to build these strange mashups.

[@Daksys-]

These mashups were called "Uglies" back in the discarded expanded universe books from the 90s. It's actually kind of nice seeing them being recanonized under disney. Post-war groups would slap together whatever parts left over from the war that they could salvage to make anything flyable.

[@noway-sk3yr]

I am not buying anything from this wave unless it is deep clearance. Their pricing has gotten out of control.

[@jomole1430]

I just looked it up on the U.S. inflation calculator, and it says that $90 in 2021 (when the previous sets were released) is now $104.31. So, most of that increase appears to be due to inflation, and I'm guessing they just decided to round up to the nearest $10. That doesn't make the price any more palatable, though.

[@RogueJedi501]

[@jeremycross8598]

The best part about this new X-Wing, in my opinion, is the angled sides of the nose. If they could use that technique on the 2019 X-Wing, I think that would look perfect.

[@OlleMoquist]

This set isn't about what's canon or not, it's about celebrating LEGO star wars as a theme. All the minifigs are named as refernces to themes or other lego related terms and the whole concept of swapping feels like a great way to kick start a kids imagination. Looks to me like a great set.

[@JD-ud9qt]

Finally, a guy that GETS LEGO star wars.

[@vedranlucev1837]

Yeah. Both this and the Dark Falcon review were just David ranting about how he doesn't like Lego Star Wars media. Can't a Lego set just be fun?

[@redsaints]

It is almost as if as the review goes on he starts to get them because he is actually using them rather than just thinking of them as something to stick on a shelf. He also compared the price of them new to an older set at a discounted price, which these ones will be too soon.

[@OlleMoquist]

@@redsaints Right! felt a bit disingenuous, though Lego has always been an expensive hobby. Also thought it was kind of funny when he was talking about how the one TIE had a better cockpit while the other one had better wings, and he was wishing they made a new set like that.

[@OlleMoquist]

@@JD-ud9qt Used to browse that old Lego star wars book (the one that came with Luke with a medal) all the time when I was younger. It's sad that star wars sets have become everyone's investment vehicle. People talk about the value being bad while still buying a UCS set for one figure.

[@SoggyVagabond]

Wanted to see if you recognised that not only is the droid’s name LEGO and the guy is Greebling, but also Scala was an older line of toys that LEGO made. They were larger, like dolls almost. All three characters are sneaky references to the company.

This is a banger concept for kids, but wish this was sold seperatly for it to be more affordable. Honestly I'm glad about the wing stuff to make the Uglies, it's a super neat play feature and pushes toward interchanging parts more.

[@The_Brickster]

Love the Uglies, not a big fan of the base models though. Just never thought I would see the day where we’d have an E-Wing, X-TIE, and basically a Death Seed on shelves at the same time. Low key a great time to be an EU and lego Star Wars fan.

[@arghjayem]

06:17 it’s not a gimmick. Whilst sure LEGO/Disney have seized on it as a gimmick idea to redo the x wing and tie fighter sets rather than just having another redo of the ships individually, these two mashed up ships do exist in pre-Disney and pre-LEGO/rebuild the universe canon. They are known as “uglies”. Fighters and ships assembled from random parts or whatever was available. They existed in post-ROTJ Star Wars after the Empire fell apart, no empire and the manufacturing facilities kind of went to shit. So ship builders started making these to use up parts they had. But some uglies were deliberately designed that way. My point is that these kind of ships have been in Star Wars canon since before Disney in the expanded universe.

[@franciscodanconia4324]

I guess the Mandalorian's upgraded Naboo starfighter would count as one of those.

[@Malt0d3xtr1n]

Thanks for the review, Solid! I've noticed that in certain parts of your reviews, the narration doesn't seem to match up with the footage of the model. I'm not sure if that is intentional, it just seems delayed by like 10 to 20 seconds, lol. A piece of the model will be shown, then talked about after moving to a different shot. Overall, though, awesome video!

[@TheBenjaman]

People should really compare these lego sets to the models used in the movies. Because these 2 ships are definitely the most accurate tie and x-wing lego has done at this scale yet. The designers should be proud with this one.

[@retrobrickreviews687]

I agree on the X-Wing (though the lack of a wing mechanism does really harm it imo), but that TIE Fighter is absolutely hideous.

[@marcch72]

Scala is a reference to the old Lego Theme. Greebling is named after all the little details modelmakers use to detail models. I like the idea of this set, but wished there was more rebuilding from this set than just swapping the wings

[@jessmontgomery3454]

If it's cheap enough at some point in the next year or two I might get one set, but I personally am content with the older versions as the 'upgrades' are more side grades in my eyes. But as Minifigure scale, they draw me in if super discounted 😊.

[@PlanetTrendy]

I love playing tennis with my racket joints

[@cixpack]

When you talk about "At least we are getting notable iconic vehicles [...] these are not just random ships", it's an interesting point. Of course it's good to have new versions of Lego ties and Xwings and get to see how they improve with times, but I have to say that I really love having some new ships in my SW and getting a chance to get those in lego form. It could be a bit boring to have just Xwings and Ties for ever. Same about minifgs : new characters in SW, new figs in Lego, makes sense and it's one of the purposes of those specific sets.

[@awesomefez6959]

I'm absolutely going to be picking up this set soon as I can. The builds are great, the play features look fun and its an awesome example of the Vs. sets Lego has been making. I feel like the points about non-canon characters being included is a little ridiculous given it's for an original show. Plus even if you don't like them you still get civilian looking characters along with some generic pilots for generic ships. I think having just regular no-name figures are fine, I'd even like to see more. Put a little bit of City into Star Wars.

To me this set is good for being a vehicle builder, similar to how people say the clone battle packs are good for army building, if you want the X-wing and tie fighter builds without spending loads of money for finding the original releases then i can give it a go,i mean sure I'll toss out or sell the nothing characters from the rebuild the galaxy show but for me there is worth here,especially if i get into moc building at some point

[@SeanyBoy589]

I think the x wing looks pretty ok tbh for its size, not so keen on the tie fighter, looks pretty squashed and goofy but u wouldn't call it terrible. I am also pretty sure this whole idea is based on an original idea from star wars legends, i remember seein ages ago how parents cobbled together and mashed up parts between the x wing and tie fighter which they have clealy now used for this concept.

[@peterpolus5272]

I like your honesty in this review! For me these might be the best versions of the 2 ships, especially that I have the TIE bomber set and I like it's windshield design (if only the view of the pilot wasn't blocked, it would probably be perfect). The TIE Fighter's guns in the front and the absolutely awful sticker engines need changing to match the bomber but otherwise it's great, especially that it's actually minifigure scale, not like the big 2017 one. The X-Wing seems more sturdy than it's predecessor and I like the landing gear. I love that we get an unnamed rebel pilot and not an another Luke's X-wing this time but I agree, the rest of the minifigs are a little underwhelming. Also, thanks for speaking about the pricing issue.

[@Tyler-Clark]

The X-Wing body with the Tie Fighter sides is similar to the V-Wing. The X-Wing's wings are also technically S-foils, S being for strike.

I’m actually glad these ships came out and it’s cannon not a gimmick they are called uglies and there are many stories in the canon about them personally my favorite is a Tye-wing.
