What were the best and worst 2021 LEGO Star Wars sets for you?

[@CanadaBricks]

Best: UCS AT-AT Worst: Gunship because it’s the Gunship :(

[@Viperfish9000]

The best had to be the Gunship, not only did I have an amazing time building it when it fell apart twice! (Could have been 3) But we got the figs we didnt ask for. Not only that but it's the only OT set we have had for a while now...

[@hyojoonjung4718]

UCS at-at all the way and worst is the 4+ Poe dameron x wing it really is horrid

[@spongboing2425]

I love the gunship, I hate how people go so hard on it as the build is a beautiful one

[@legolad7477]

What’s your problem with Chicago deep dish

[@slothmun6409]

I really think it’s pretty childish to put the gunship in last place just because of the minifigures. If we’re talking about it as a set then it’s honestly incredible as the build is stunning and pretty accurate which is what you want from a UCS set. There’s obviously a lot of controversy around it but realistically it’s just stupid to put it so low

[@GolemOfTime]

It's a gorgeous set and admittedly it did have some hiccups, however the they were mostly press related. The mini-figure selection wasn't amazing but it wasn't objectively bad, the only reason people hate on it so much is because of how the designers showcased their ignorance. The amount of times I've seen people shit on this set is similar to how many times I see someone use the phrase "wholesome" on reddit. It's beating a beyond dead horse at this point.

[@CartoonyAndor19]

Such a childish placement… fr, it is pretty toxic

[@daniellavender7776]

Just probably about getting kicked from the Lego ambassador program and I can't blame Lego for that

[@daniellavender7776]

For most of them I get it but I don't get why someone needs to point out every bad thing about it. I love Lego for what it is I won't complain but sometimes a few things bum me out but I will and always love Lego. If only the best is good enough then ok I respect all people's opinions.

[@daniellavender7776]

He can be childish and toxic sometimes but it's okay to me and again I get why he was kicked form the Lego ambassador program they had their own reasons for something he wasn't supposed to do but it's his opinions and not much others will but I will respect his reasons.

[@davidsteiner5846]

Despite its faults in the minifig department, the gunship is a great build and at least top 10 imo

[@mattvisconti8456]

It's way more than just the minifigs lmao

[@davidsteiner5846]

@@mattvisconti8456 Sure, the way Lego handled the release and criticism was awful, but the set isn’t bad. It’s an amazing and accurate build, and despite how LEGO revealed themselves as a company during launch, the gunship is an overall good product.

[@wadewilson3296]

Top 2 for me

[@sidtheslav534]

I agree, Ryan’s anger has clouded his judgement. If you step aside for a moment and compartmentalize the drama, it really is a phenomenal set. The build is highly detailed and exquisite. The minifigs are eh at best, BUT they shouldn’t downgrade the set so much that it places behind some of the 4+ sets. He’s being edgy.

[@falcon55551]

The AT AT is overated. Its just bunch of grey bricks for 800 bucks.. I just don't understand the hype around it. The price is insane. The gunship was so much better imo..for the money. Don't care about the controversy, the build was beautiful.

[@jbsargent1396]

While I agree with you that the release of the gunship was not well done, and the mini figures inside of it are not what we ask for… I think that the UCS Republic Gunship by far is way better then the 4+ X-Wing and many others that you ranked above it. The build of the actual gunship is one of the best sets of the year in my opinion. The set would have to be number 6 or 7 on the list for me. Just my opinion…🤷🏽 I agree with everything else on your list! Great video, keep it up! 👍🏼 Edit: Wow!! 1.5k likes, thanks everybody!

[@legobob3539]

[@wadewilson3296]

[@WillKarleskint]

I swear he can't go 2 videos anymore without some kind of rant about how awful he thinks the gunship is. It's so annoying now because he always ignores the actual set to complain about the designer interview, the box, or the minifigure. Like Ryan we get it, clone bad, now for the love of christ please move on. It's a really nice looking model and they're actually giving us episode 2 sets which is what we wanted, but he's just being unbelievably petty about little details that don't affect the model

[@hannyb.1364]

I think moving forward, we should rank lego sets based on how good the actual set is and not include the added controversy and marketing problems outside the set itself. The gunship deserved a much higher placement. On another note, I’m glad the tie fighter got top 15. Definitely my favorite set of the year

And I do have the set and believe this so I’m not just talking as someone with no experience with the actual thing.

[@JohnRumelfanger]

I ended up putting it 2nd in my ranking video yesterday. I absolutely love the build, and I guess it helps when the Gunship is your favorite ship.

[@fatnakedjimmyneutron]

I have agreed with mandr with almost everything he's ever said but the saltiness he holds over the company not including 1 minifigure is extremely childish.

[@arandomperson3155]

yeah i think the gunship is one of the best sets of the year. if you judge it just buy the build (i own the set btw), i think its worth the money and deserves to be much higher, despite its other issues imo.

[@seventhstudofaseventhstud8037]

Bro put a polybag above the $350 gunship he spent years advocating for. C'mon bro.

[@jfragale03]

Honestly, I really disagree with the placement of the UCS gunship. While it had issues with the baggage tied to it, it was still a fantastic build and the minifigures were still really nice. And to put it behind other sets where you pointed several other issues, I don’t think it’s deserving of last place.

[@slaya8065]

[@smaugster6081]

@@SOMEONE-fv4cl that’s what I’m saying. Ryan was entilted too two mini figures that made no sense, plus no one outside of the very niche Lego Star Wars meme community knows who Jedi Bob is. Jedi Bob is not a compelling character, nor is he one a larger majority of Lego Star Wars fans actually care about.

[@drewc2492]

Everything surrounding the release of the Gunship was abysmal and it definitely just proves how out of touch the designers are with the community. However, placing it that low on the list is a disservice to the actual set. I think if you forget about the controversy the set is easily number two on the list. Even considering everything surrounding it, I still think that it deserves higher placement just considering how beautiful that build is.

[@wadewilson3296]

Fax. He won’t let go of his personal grudges with the company, which I find very childish and annoying

[@jackvony5615]

Baggage the fan base made on the UCS Gunship. "Wow a set not scaled for minifigs didn't come with the minfig I wanted, it's now awful." Give me a break, everyone knows its a fantastic build and an even better display piece. I for one (even having the gunship) am glad that a highly desired figure like a Phase II Cody wasn't exclusive to a $350 set. Leaves it easier to get him in a set all fans can have in the future, not just KZbinrs. I find it quite frankly sad that after we finally get a prequel UCS set that we all voted for, the community cries like 5 year olds cause the box art got messed up and they didn't get the minifig they wanted. It's a UCS, hell for years UCS sets didn't have minifigs. Get a grip.

[@Lion_of_Sparta]

I'm sorry but a 320 quid lego set people wanted then becoming a flop is not good AT ALL. Minfigs were shit. The box art clearly wasn't taken into account. It's not about being a 5 year old its about being passionate for lego clone sets. You clearly don't give a fuck. If they r putting imperial logo on a clone set. It shows they don't care about prequel at all., Its not even built to hold minifigs. Which incase you didn't know, the gunship did hold a lot of troopers init. It has far to many flaws. People like you are the reason lego get away with things like this. They release crap for clone fans and when we try fight against it. We are apparently 5 year old? Grow tf up man.

Honestly the gunship is one of the best looking sets I’ve seen or built, and it’s size for the price is insanely good.

[@smaugster6081]

It’s because MandR is prone to being biased because he didn’t get what he campaigned for. The whole gunship gang thing makes him think that if the gunship isn’t exactly what the fans asked for, it’s terrible and against him. He took it personally. Besides, I think the fans asked for Jedi Bob??? And there was no way Lego would do that. It is only recognizable to the people in the Lego Star Wars meme community, which is quite niche, and some 40 year old guy with the money to buy a ucs set has no clue who fucking Jedi Bob is. P2 Cody was justifiable, but it wouldn’t make sense as this is an aotc gunship. The clone pilot thing is dumb tho, 100 percent.

I can understand your qualms about the UCS Gunship, and some of the controversy was worth talking about. But there’s no way that your personal baggage makes you place below a 4+ X-Wing which is poorly done and as bottom of the barrel you can get and for their youngest market compared to being a set meant for adults. I could get it being on the lower half with your problems in mind, but I don’t think the somewhat lacking figs and the controversy can make dead last and below a 4+ set personally it’s comes off as very petty to me. You have a hard time letting the baggage go and I get it (if I were your mindset), but you got to move on sooner or later. Your review and some related videos about the UCS Gunship will age poorly due to this, it’s like a dark cloud above your head you can’t get rid of whenever you bring it up. Still I hope for you to move on form this point and leave it in 2021 and mold into making your content better

@@orcaking3432 You do not understand that you don’t let your non-unanimous opinion affect an objective list based on value/looks/etc of a lego set. What I understood was that the main issue was/is with the LEGO Star Wars team’s poor communicated relationship with customers. From watching most of mnrproductions videos and the video from the guy who was in the satirical lego interview (blanking on his name), the only real issue was with the communication, not so much that the set had minor errors that really don’t affect the LEGO set itself. In those videos he reiterates that he thinks the build is amazing and that his only issues were with the figures, the imperial insignia, and the communication. So I really don’t understand why it’s dead last at all seeing as it’s an objective list. I agree with mandr that minifigures are integral to any LEGO set, especially when it’s a UCS set, just so long as it’s minifigure scale/play scale.

This year was amazing, we've had: Darth Vader's meditation champer. The best, in my opinion, X-wing we've ever got, minifig scale and all. Mandalorian Starfighter, such a perfect set. Bad Batch Shuttle, honestly a near perfect set, especially when it comes to figures. And obviously, the AT-AT is easily the second best UCS set, right behind the Falcon.

[@nmc921]

You’re actually the first person I’ve seen agree with me that this years x wing is the best one

[@thebricktator4977]

The gunship is an amazing set, even with the controversy around it ( which is exaggerated here imo) it should be way higher on the list

[@JohnRumelfanger]

Yeah, I ended up putting it 2nd on my ranking yesterday. I absolutely love the build, which might be the best UCS build ever.

[@thebricktator4977]

Agreed

[@legomattie3295]

Come on. The ucs gunship is great. Just because the.minifigs and wrong logo? The build is superb. Try to put your grieves asided. They are clouding your vision

[@MrSamperi24]

A juniors set being higher than the UCS gunship just ruined my day :( If ur going to rank that set low, at least have it higher than a bloody resistance x wing with literally no meaning to collectors alike

[@syguy1738]

I feel the same Peri, mandr seems less reputable in my opinion.

[@JadeHanson-]

Crossover with Alvin and the Chipmunks 😂

[@GH1LLIE]

The fact that the 4+ resistance x-wing ranks above the Ucs gunship 😂

[@creameditspants]

I’m not saying the Gunship deserves last place because that build was amazing. However, Lego literally asked us what minifigures we wanted to see in this set and flat out ignored what we wanted. If Lego never asked us what we wanted for minifigures, then this set would probably have no problems. But they did ask, only to get our hopes up and then make us question the integrity of Lego. The point is, you can’t ask your customers what they really want the most with a set and then not deliver.

[@SOMEONE-fv4cl]

I think if the mini figs actually made sense they would’ve. But given how much mandr likes to complain about everything, he would’ve said they were inaccurate even if they were what he asked for

[@jpslegoreviews]

15:45 I feel a little mixed on the helmet controversy. In The Mandolorian, Boba's helmet is pretty much the same color as his chest piece, however in The Book of Boba Fett, his helmet appears to be a little lighter than his chest piece. The lego minifigure's green on the helmet and jetpack is still obvious too light

I am surprised that you did not mention on the bad batch shuttle that the gonk droid is the completely wrong colour.

hey ryan i think it would be cool if you did a worst to first on all the lego star wars box arts, would you consider this?

[@finnstauffer9404]

I got the UCS republic gunship and I haven’t received it yet so I was really worried when you put it at the bottom of the list, but when I look at the images the set is amazing! Now I actually play with the sets so I’m glad that there is so much space for the clones. And I mean a mace windu?! That’s amazing! Since I’m a much younger collector I never got to collect the older sets like the prequel sets which I’m a complete fan of so having brought back a mace windu is amazing for me, I think I’ll enjoy stuffing the characters in the guns and seats 👍

[@benbertrum2892]

They did quite well on the Mandolorian related sets, can’t wait to see the new ones for 2023

Almost forgot this video was on its way! Thanks for putting all the effort into this & happy early new year!

[@aaronbernstein2734]

You gushed about the UCS gunship in your initial review. Yet you rated it the worst set of the year, even below the child's X-Wing fighter. Is there another video that I should watch to get your reason why you rated this so low? Is it just about the minifigures? I agree with you that they are a pretty crappy selection, even for a company who says 'good enough is the best they can do'. But the ship is what really stands out.

[@syguy1738]

I am just as confused as you are

[@williamsmith4414]

The Mini Tatooine Homestead design is kinda ok. That gives me an idea to do in future.

I will always love the 2021 lambda shuttle, since it was the set that got me into LEGO Star Wars

For real though the Gunship is second place dude you can buy a clone battle pack and fill it up and call it a day.

[@twelve.2334]

I personally own the gunship and I just can't see how you can dislike such a stunning model, it is hard to ignore all of the efforts the designers put into the conception of it.

[@timothyjamieson4689]

Putting the gunship below that x wing is criminal

All of your anger over the gunship placement sustains me. After everything that happened, I completely understand why it’s last.

[@ARCvideos13]

Gotta disagree on the gunship. I'm only halfway through the build and I already love it. It's an absolute beast! Yeah, the minifigs kinda suck, and there was the logo thing, but beside that, this thing absolutely gorgeous. I hope to see more prequel UCS in the future.

The only problem with the advent calendar was the quality control I ended up getting another imperial light cruiser instead of the Slave 1.

[@stevenchisari9564]

Gunship would be second for me, we are talking about the build not the drama around it, besides, even if it did have p2 cody i doubt anybody would have spent 350 for one fig that would just be scalped anyway. another thing, i have never heard anyone actually bad mouth the build, just people wanting cody and jedi bob

Gunship should be higher, the model is a work of art and looks amazing on display, big wow factor. Sure the minifigs are trash but like, thats 7 or so pieces. And were probably gonna get a phase 2 cody eventually.

[@100P3RC3NT]

I loved the boba helmet and mandalorian starfighter

[@ben.w4154]

0:47 the reason why I think some people dislike this set is purely because of all the crap surrounding it we as fans have to look at it this way. If lego made this in like 2009 or something when mini figs were mostly not seen in UCS sets it would be known today as a legendary LSW set but because lego starts putting mini figs in UCS sets which should make it better it gets worse because we don’t get the ones we want. I am upset we didn’t get a phase to Cody but if nobody asked for it everyone would love it. Yes the mini figs aren’t great but we didn’t get mini figs in older UCS sets that we LOVE sets like the UCS dartg Vader’s tie fight or UCS Naboo starfighter or UCS Death Star. LOOK AT THE SET IT IS A STUNNING MODEL WITH MINIFIGURES your not buying a box with Hans bucanshlumerz crap in it your buy a UCS Republic gunship

[@johnnybaxter1953]

@@johnnybaxter1953 they did go above and beyond tho. The model is absolutely stunning. Ucs sets are supposed to be very accurate and detailed, which this, including the minifigs, was.

If the minifigs choices made by people actually made sense, then they probably would’ve put them in

putting the gunship last is legit just childish

[@froggyandmouse]

Honestly I agree that the mandatorily star fighter should be that high but there is one thing the wings don’t go well with the cockpit like there’s a little gap and it tilts when you display it. It’s also hard to handle and spin around the wings without crunching your fingers. That’s my only problem

[@beeeza86b67]

I went to buy new Lego star wars at midnight online and the Defence on Hoth wasn't available. However, the other Snowtrooper Battle pack was with the AT-ST? Why would this be? Is Lego trying to do a different type of purchasing setup to see how fast the first wave and then the second or does Lego not like the Rebel Alliance? You're thoughts?
