LEGO Star Wars UCS VENATOR - Is It Worth $650?

[@Crossingman18]

I love my UCS Venator! Even got a lighting kit for it and holy crap it looks so good lit up!

[@SV_Briqs]

5:34 that noooo came right out of your heart😂

[@mattmellish]

And my mouth 😂 😭

[@hikmetdemirkan678]

The exterior lines of the Venator were very good, but it was a mistake not to build the hangar and not to make the large hangar doors in the middle retractable. I think Lego should make the hangar and doors in the next series, then I think it will be a UCS legend.

[@ZachTheManiac01]

The quality on this review is amazing! Great stuff Matt! But I do wonder, are you able to switch the sides the hanger is displayed onto?

[@IMSanimations]

First reply i just subbed to your channel I make animation too

[@aksis2133]

Man I felt the pain when you turned it sideways and basically the whole bridge fell off 🤣

[@Karottenregen]

Yeah because this thing might hold together but its not stable it will hold together when finished but it feeld verry unstable and bendy

[@MTGJosh]

Great video dude. Really nice walk through and editing.

[@SCDude1999]

Great review Matt! It's definitely a great Clone Wars set!

[@IMSanimations]

First reply love ur stuff dude

[@lunic_]

Amazing set and amazing review hopefully I will be able to pick this set up in the future.

[@mattmellish]

Fingers crossed for you! Thanks for the support, I'm glad you liked it! :)

[@Ethan.The.Artisan]

Awesome review! Awesome set! Mountain dew has never looked so good!😂

[@mattmellish]

Thanks, Ethan! Oh yes, many were consumed in the process of creating this video. Still waiting on that sponsorship... 😂

[@IMSanimations]

Were you the guy on Lego masters? I will sub to you

[@c-samleystudios1573]

It’s a well designed set, but I personally prefer the UCS Star Destroyer because I prefer the source material. Star Destroyers are just cooler looking to me while the bridges of Venators look goofy. I would like this set better with grey bridges because I am not a huge fan of the red bridges.

[@mattmellish]

It for sure always depends on your preference of the source material. As a huge prequel fan, I'll always rank the Venator higher. I actually own the ISD, but have not built it yet... You can always rebuild the bridges in grey as well - that's the beauty of LEGO 😉

[@c-samleystudios1573]

@@mattmellish I was thinking of getting the Star Destroyer now that I can afford it, but, being discontinued, it is even more expensive. It is hard to spend a grand on LEGO, but it is by far the most striking LEGO set for me personally. I would love to hear your thoughts when you build yours.

[@willdabeast6503]

@@c-samleystudios1573It is a stupid cool set, and I’ve had no issues with plates and things loosening under its own weight. I will say, with the ISD, be careful picking it up. There are external parts that are easy to knock off. And beware of cats.

[@Karottenregen]

The star destroyer is one of the worst ucs sets. Boring build, fragile set, wy way to colourfull inside and the inner colours showing through all that ehile haveing a astronimical orice tag of 700$ and haveing even less parts then the venator

[@c-samleystudios1573]

@@Karottenregen The colors peaking through does suck. I looked at a render on Mecabricks and without the shadows there is so much color showing.

[@Exodus12341]

5:25 Rule #18475 Never flip a Lego set unless the instructions specify to do so.

[@snappyturtle1018]

Awesome Review. The only reason im not going to get it right now is that there is no interior. Thats the only reason i bought the at-at. Huge interior.

[@thegreatpiginthesky3904]

It's a UCS set. People who want an interior in a UCS set are idiots

[@sealco]

The ucs at at is minifig scale so it makes sense there is an interior, this set it not, tho they still could have included a bridge

[@dannybrezelhorner2715]

​@@sealcothey could have done literally anything but they knew that cheaping out and relying on the ravenous fanboys to gobble it up without thinking

[@Maddenhawk]

Why does an interior matter? It's for display...

[@Connorjoyce0254]

Not trying to say you did something wrong, but the engines on mine don’t sag at all. They are perfectly straight. Perhaps you didn’t line up the power miners wheels exactly as shown in the instructions? That makes difference when building the columns on the inside. The way the piece is rotated matters for the final look.

[@willdabeast6503]

Yes this is one MandrProductions noted is less sag on the engines than other sets, I was curious as well if he missed something.

[@h2owl205]

Wouldn’t surprise me that he didn’t do it exactly per instructions, considering how much he struggled building the rest of the model properly

[@osubass]

3:09 pink bricks mean the Lego designers get cake!

[@ThingsYouMightLike]

If you're looking for a wall mount, one popped up on etsy that's awesome. 25 degree angle, cheap, and ships fast.

[@ohslego]

awesome review!!

[@mattmellish]

Glad you enjoyed it ;)

[@AlwaysChasingStorms]

The engine sag isn't nice but it could've been worse. You can see the technique that reduces the sag from what it could've been.

[@deathray021]

Glad to see your still active on KZbin 😂

[@5gld]

To bad that Lego lied about one of those “two exclusive minifigures to the set”

[@cptrex-7567]

Did you notice that both bridges curve up a little once the other pieces are placed on it?

[@dannybrezelhorner2715]

I think 650$ for a hunk of plastic that doesn't do anything is depressing

[@ItsGulpe]

I’ve watched the clone wars show 9 times over since 2020 but without season 7 I’ve watched it about 12 times. So ya I like the show and I am so exited to see that box at my doorstep soon

[@FitLegoGuy]

Love this video can’t wait till I can get mine! Hopefully by the end of October

[@coolguydom02]

great video my dude😎

[@babyyoda3497]

650 bucks for 5k pieces with only 2 minifigs who won't even be exclusive. There is no question if it's overrated or not

[@Martin_Hunac]

5:31 What have i done?

[@martinjrgensen8234]

The engines droop? Well that is embarrassing. Seems like at this price, they should have found a solution

[@Tijsdr]

Can you take off the 2 black legs to display the ship?

[@christianfaurschou1758]

Yes. You can take them off

[@christopherwilliams5808]

I dig it. And i want it. Just not at $650. I always try to get stuff under retail price if i can. But that engine sag really bugs me. Bummer.

[@___-6040-___]

Why the millenium falcon(2017) is still avaible on the website,but the imperial star destroyer (2019) no??? The logic??? Why?

[@Terminate-tz9nr]

Millenium Falcon sells more so it was not discontinued like the Star Destroyer.

[@Ferro-imo]

This is my Dream set ngl

[@BrickingUpBrad]

Did Matt Mellish just post a new review!!!!!!

[@mattsmmfalcon7877]

An AMAZING one at that !❤

[@BrickingUpBrad]

@@mattsmmfalcon7877 agreed!

[@mattmellish]

He. Finally. Did... Thanks for watching!

[@LANGIMATION]

Overpriced not overrated.

[@broncojuan]

I put this up next to my UCS ISD, and it just looks much less substantial. It actually made me less excited for this one. I had to move it.

[@granlunda65]

my country only cost 600 euros one store what is 628,00 dollar

[@brucenbrooklyn]

My girlfriend joy said she knows where you got your video production skills at

[@darthbane2669]

It's over priced but damn it does look amazing on display

[@Haychydoo]

This is my dream set

[@mattmellish]

For you, myself, and many others. Yes. :)

[@ethansmith715]

One month on and now we now rex will not stay exclusive but will be put in a microfighter. So no it's not worth it imo, not if your going to buy it for the figs.

[@theagent315]

sadly it is $999.99 in australia

[@bneuer]

Mines still being shipped :(

[@nightgoji3592]

Bro where did you get the Plo’s Bros shirt? I need that 🤌🏽

[@stephenmcfarlane7083]

Your video is very good

[@specopsaxolotl863]

the answer is yes btw

[@adolfomclovin7082]

I'd rather save my money. 650 is ALOT of money

[@AIienJesus]

650$ is bout my whole paycheck for the 2 weeks… hell no it aint worth 😂

[@thegreatpiginthesky3904]

Get your money up then. $1300 a month is wild

[@MyAcer20]

pic diffrent song next time the comination of the weard voice with this makes it verry hard to understand what you are saying

[@MyAcer20]

mainly the beginning of the vid

[@tyfon4429]

Absolutely not worth it. IT HAS NO INTERIOR ! For $ 600+ LEGO do your bloody homework !

[@oscarpezzoli4597]

THE SET IS wonderful as always minifigures are awful

My Boi!

[@mattmellish]

Glad to be back!

[@countbertoslav6691]

650.... bro in middle europe it costs 703 from offico lego store.... fuck lego with that prize... I am able to buy flight tickets from mid Europe to kostarika for the same prize god damn it... that is just not worth at all... with rex coming out in the new smaller set. this venator will get prize down by hundreds... even after that it wont be worth... go work for lego warehouse.. some kind of DHL or something... and yo ucan get it fo half... AND STILL NOT WORTH IT damn it!

[@jonashyllested2680]

Lego did not do the best job here…

[@Theshadow12i]

No, it isn't. That's a 200-400$ set. Not 650
