Razor Crest set showdown - Mould King vs Lego UCS - Which set is better?

[@Tim2716]

The Mould King UCS, razor crest, a pretty good deal if you are absolutely desperate for a razor crest, but don’t want to Pay Legos absolutely garbage price.

[@SevenStarBricks]

I think the better option is to get a copy of the UCS set for cheaper. herotoyz.com/product/star-wars-mandalorian-razor-crest-75331-ucs-king-5331/

[@dariodavis56]

​@@SevenStarBricks is it safe to buy a copy like its so cheap i feel like its a scam lol

[@SevenStarBricks]

@@dariodavis56 Yep, I buy from Herotoyz all the time. Just be aware that the knock off sets of this have incorrect Kuiil minifigures. At some point a minifigure manufacturer will step in and have a good one for sale, but for now they are not good.

[@dariodavis56]

@@SevenStarBricks damn so if i want an offical lookin set id have to go on bricklink amd buy figs?

[@SevenStarBricks]

@@dariodavis56 Or wait until better looking knock offs appear on the market, yes.

[@Jaxattaxify]

The moldking razor crest is actually closer to miningure scale than the lego UCS set. Legos UCS version is about 20% too big

Barely, lego figures don’t have the same proportions as a human

Just got the Mould King one (with the original MOC designer‘s „Jerac“ instructions. And Mould Kind updated the set (at least the ones from Amazon Europe): They now include pieces for a clear windshield so that you can look into the cockpit and take it of (a little) easier. Black pieces are still included, so you can decide as you build. And make sure to use the little hammer Mould King includes. Makes the model come together a lot better and the different parts of the ship fit perfectly. It‘s still a rather challenging build. But if you‘re like me and this is exactly what you looking for go for it. I got a little tired of Lego‘s „3 bricks per page“ trend😅 Happy building!

[@marabus6776]

Did you need to buy extra bricks for building it according to Jerac's instructions?

[@volare6355]

To be honest just go model king. It's an excellent price and a pretty cool model and if you want to make some adjustments you can

[@jamiee156]

The Mould King Razor Crest is a very poor knock-off of Jerac's MOC - plans are available through Brick Vault. For most people wanting a large Razor Crest, I'd suggest going with the LEGO UCS version - It's a simpler build overall.... though if Built properly, Jerac's is great too!

[@peervanasten7100]

Sadly people think jeracs model is supposed to look like that because most people buy lepin and mouldking.

[@RogueBagel]

Came here to say this. I bought the Mould King set, then all the pieces needed to restore it to Jerac's original design and it's a HUGE improvement. The other part of this review I question is whether the criticisms would be so harsh if the design was built with genuine Lego pieces instead. Much of my frustration in building the MK set came down to piece quality. While KO bricks have gotten much better in recent years, these MOC designs are so much more fragile than TLG standards - and need genuine Lego pieces to work as a result.

[@RogueBagel]

P. S. I also bought Jerac's instructions from Brick Vault. Support the original designers, people!

[@DrAhzek]

@@peervanasten7100 People "don't buy Lepin" because Lepin is dead for longer (2019) than Mandalorian exists as a show. And people normally don't bother with Mould King's weird iterations (brick quality is very good but their designs are hit and miss) if there are better alt-bricks options...and for Razor Crest there is a 1:1 UCS knockoff by Jiestar (a good company in general), 1:1 knockoff of the smaller Lego one by LionKing and probably the most unique and interesting - semi-UCS Razor Crest by Mork (032002) with their own take on the design (differetn cockpit etc.). I rarely see people actually buying Razor Crest from Mould King unless they were baited by overpriced Temu/Aliexpress offers.

[@vtambellini]

@@RogueBagelI’m about to do the same thing, except have pre bought all of the Lego pieces to bring the MK up to exactly the same as the brickvault instructions before I’ve even started. (Won’t even look at MK instructions). You think there will be issues with the gobricks brick quality? I’ve heard they are snappier and thus have stronger connections than normal Lego and thus not an issue for display models.

[@nybsfp7486]

Having trouble with step 272…

[@shadowblack1987]

$150 vs $600-$700. Yeah easy choice lol...

[@SevenStarMountain-X7]

Keep in mind that the knock off copy of the UCS Razor Crest is coming soon for around the same price as the Mould King version.

[@Bearical]

@@SevenStarMountain-X7 where to get it?

[@aaltamar83]

This is the way

[@theghostguys108]

I put the Mandalorain’s hair in the escape pod also 😂 i will say that the UCS Razor Crest is a lot better than that other one

[@pokebui1640]

Link in your description show the razer crest with the clear windshield and not all black bricks, did they make an update ? Or did they just use stock images from Lego ucs? Thanks

[@SevenStarBricks]

The Mould King one (First link) is black windshield. The knock off UCS has the clear windshield.

[@pokebui1640]

Thank you for the reply. Would the one with the windshield be more identical to the Lego ucs one?

[@SevenStarBricks]

@@pokebui1640 Yes, the second link is a copy of the Lego UCS set. The minifigures may not be exact, but the set is pretty much 1 for 1.

[@pokebui1640]

@@SevenStarBricks awesome thank you for answering all my questions

[@sprex-x8427]

I just got the Mould Kind Model a few weeks ago and they now seem to include an extra bag in the Box containing parts for a clear windshield. It‘s even printed. Pretty cool update from Mould King I think :)

[@bloodymarvelous4790]

The Mouldking looks like a MOC design from before the UCS Razor Crest was released. To prevent the copyright issue off-brands can't do a 1:1 copy of the LEGO designs anymore, so they steal MOC designs and put them into production. So now they're not ripping off LEGO anymore, but the AFOLs. That's what you're supporting by buying these off-brand models.

[@johnsabin3315]

Gladly support it.. Fuck Lego and their insane prices

[@thestephensons4520]

You are right. This Mould King product is an illegal copy of a MOC design on BrickVault by Jarostaw "Jerac" Ksiazezyk. The reason for the blacked out canopy is because his design uses original Lego parts including the printed canopy from 75292. I just built the MOC using original Lego parts, and it looks MUCH better due to better quality parts.

[@Swanlord05]

[@CaptainGrat75]

They should be allowed to knock off lego, lego is too expensive & insanely greedy

[@legoshocktoyphotographer0451]

@@CaptainGrat75MK stealing MOC designs from respected builders in the community, and selling them for profit (without making the original designer aware, crediting them, or getting permission from them) seems ethically questionable.

[@mrsjr78]

Is the Mould King model the one designed by Jerac?

[@SevenStarBricks]

The original design was by him, yes. MK always changes some things when they "borrow" the designs, and it's always worse.

[@mrsjr78]

@@SevenStarBricks I'm currently gathering the pieces for Jerac's build. In the videos I've seen of it, it looks much more solidly built and structurally sound than what you showed here. Looking closely here, I do notice a few small design differences. For Jerac's build, there is an option to use the cockpit screen from the original Lego playset as opposed to the black brick built out version. Actually the option to build it is secondary if you don't want to spend money acquiring that unique piece. But this is a good scale comparison between Jerac's design and the UCS set. That's what I was really interested in seeing. The side by side. Good video.

[@Brandon_Y.]

i dislike the blueish grey. i always saw it as a dark grey

[@johnsabin3315]

Thanks for the video. Did you have any problems with the instruction on the mould king? I had it once and the a few points in the instructions were completely unclear as to what to do . I think there was one step where you complete a very long piece then have to slide it through the length of the ship sideways?? Ring a bell?
