Ask M&R: Why is Lego retiring the Ghost already? It’s a desirable set and for one with that price a one year run seems very short

[@KazudaXiono]

LEGO does that with all their “flagship” sets of the summer wave and even all the sets of their waves. Most LEGO sets last only until the last day of the year after their released It’s to prevent to much sets being on the market to the point where they could compete with each other. They did the same with Gideon’s light cruiser and the Justifier. Again, it’s only retiring until December 31st, it’s a good time frame for people who want the set to get it. Also to be clear, it’s not 100% guaranteed to retire on December 31st, it could be pushed forward. Also do keep in mind the set won’t retire on EXACTLY the 31st, as it could sell out prior.

[@welcometothejungl3]

AskMandr: You mentioned you have not encured your LEGO Collection. As you have your own house now, are you not afraid someone is going to break into your home? Also, I would not have sets stored in the garage, as it seems easier to break into? Like if someone forgot to lock the garage door in your previous home, your whole collection could be stolen. IS this why you do not show the exterior of your house?

- If both Lego Death Troopers and Senate Guard Commandos were formerly considered highly valued covenant mini-figures, then why is everyone fine with Death Troopers in a battle pack but not with the Senate Commandos?

[@corduroycal]

Are you talking about the old battle packs or hypothetical future battle packs

[@rotzie8834]

@@corduroycal the old battle packs from back in the good days

[@corduroycal]

@@rotzie8834 the main issue people had was the senate comando commander or whatever. Because in the show that was a main character and there was only one of them. Meaning to army build you’d get a bunch of “named” non usuable characters. They also barely showed up so people would’ve rather just had a clone legion or whatever and the demand to army build was low. I didn’t really care that much and with the death troopers I think people just don’t hold imperial stuff up to a higher standard.

[@jakedoesyoutube]

If you wanna avoid scams on custom sets, I would avoid Republic Bricks. I am not complaining about the mystery boxes, I am talking about the order accuracy and the quality of the product. The real problem is that Timmy takes forever to either give you a refund or send you the object you paid for. Once he gets his shipping better and can improve the quality of the pieces, then I might consider him. I don't hate him, I just won't buy from him.

What’s your favorite UCS box art style? Mine personally is the 2014-2017 style with the gold logo, like on the UCS Slave I😍.

[@CommanderOfTDS]

I feel so stupid at times. I've been a lego collector for almost 10 years (only StarWars) and I was so caught up in the pandemic in 2020, that I forgot about all the 2019, 2020 summer sets and I only got my hands on around 6 501st battlepacks and a few other sets before they all retired :( Moral Of The Story: Lego is Life

[@LodanSD]

Display Space is very important. I should have looked at the Dimensions of the "Shuri's Sunbird" before I got it, as it is too large for me to currently find a space for, and the pictures almost lied about the size (shot perspective matters)!

[@Airman7557]

Ask MandR: Would the Dark Side Millennium Falcon possibly related to the reported Star Wars What If show? It would make perfect sense seeing how it would be an alternate timeline.

Ask MandR: What is a new type of Lego Star Wars sets that u personally want to be made in the future? (for example brickheads, microfighters, ucs sets, etc)

[@joshuapeterson8292]

Ask M&R: How do you display your Tie Interceptor from the new Tie Interceptor vs. Fang Fighter set. I don’t like how when you set it down, it bends the wings in.

[@Studlake]

Odds of slave leia coming in the UCS sail Barge? Disney has been against representation. She was in the sky walker saga though. I could see them doing just jabba and one other fig since it’s a ucs set. But with the dessert skiff coming out as seemingly a companion set it would make sense for the sail barge to have a large amount of figs (Jabba, crumb, luke, leia, r2, 3po, Rebo, etc.)

[@1212Nato]

Ask MandR: Do you think LEGO might make a Darth Maul “hallway scene” set from The Clone Wars season 7? Similar to the one we already have with Luke and the Darth troopers, as well as the upcoming rumoured Darth Vader and Rebel Troopers set.

[@tedde5720]

Ask M&R: Do you think LEGO Star Wars will be releasing new Episode 1 sets in the near future? Focusing on the Trade Federation, their battleship as a UCS perhaps or Battle of Naboo sets?

Ask Mandr: Could we ever see the return of Mandr collects? I would like to see an update on your black series collection, as it has been a while since there has been a video uploaded to that channel.

[@zachd6863]

Why does it seem like LSW has less scene based waves now? In the past we got waves for specific movies, battles, and planets all at once. We got things like a Droid Gunship and AT-AP for a Kashyyyk wave or Jabba's Palace, Jabba's Sail Barge, Desert Skiff, and Rancor Pit all on shelves at the same time. Recently, it feels like there have been some missed opportunities with more droid sets to pair with clones on the shelves. Even things like a Darth Vader's Tie Fighter to go with the recent X wing and Tie Fighter or a Rebel Snowspeeder to go with the UCS AT-AT would have been great! I think having logical pairings on shelves would make it a lot easier as a consumer.

[@zachfrender9130]

Ask MandR: if you could choose one thing for lego to make into a UCS set what would it be?

[@StudStudiosLego]

Great episode! Thanks, ryan!

[@BlyBricksStudios]

Ask M&R: Because Padme was using a Jyn Erso face print in the gunship, do you think it is because we will get a rogue one set in 2024. A TIE Reaper maybe?

As one of those kids who supposedly grew up with the sequels, I can confidently say they did not make the same impression on kids as the Prequels did. The Star Wars for me and my friends was TCW, although we did think Kylo was cool. A lot of kids born in the mid-2000s were in the best age bracket for those films, yet I don't see love for them among my generation. Love your content as a dedicated TFOL.
