The price between this and the podracing diorama is so funny

[@swoops7687]

The mini figure droideka is likely a reference to really old droideka builds, like the ones seen in old Lego Star Wars games, and I like it, it’s nostalgic

[@l.a.wright6912]

I wish they just gave us the og droidecka build

[@swoops7687]

@@l.a.wright6912 they’d likely get even more flak for it because it looked even less like a droideka than this one

[@Sbudz]

Mini figs are usually just a rough shape anyway I think it looks enough like a droideca to represent one

[@MeerkatJac]

@@swoops7687 i personally think they should've gone with the 2013/2015 design since it's accurate enough and somewhat iconic

[@swoops7687]

@@MeerkatJac yea, but I also feel like it’d be out of place for the anniversary edition, this one looks similar to the first version of the droideka modernized and is paying homage to it.

[@gfrank9772]

Absolutely buying, if you don’t like the micro build just mod it with extra parts use your imagination or design skills. That full size build is basically UCS quality for $60 I could care less about piece count the detail is amazing!!!

It should come with some pieces to recreate its iconic deflector shield

[@LetMeEatIt]

The cost would get so much higher though

[@bionodroid547]

how is the little droideka an issue? they’re only 6 ft in canon, and that’s probably the most accurate minifig scale build they’ve made. Maybe could have made the eyes more accurate with a claw piece

[@PuddingPlayer.]

Fr, people are used to the old one + pissed that it can't roll up

The new Minifig scale droideka looks malnourished

[@hello_there9879]

That should be a crime building the Droideka like that 😤

[@jaredpalmer7953]

It's similiar to the classic Droideka. That's what makes it cool.

"Malnourished" is one of the attributes of everything that in-universe corporation built, so I won't blame that on Lego.

[@noturbusiness9736]

It definitely is not the same.

[@christianbryan6961]

@@noturbusiness9736 The legs are different but it looks mostly the same to me. And I said the old Complete Saga, not the new Skywalker Saga, in case you’re thinking I meant that.

the 1999 minifig scale droideka was perfect

Droideka is the coolest droid

[@Mega_man_X69]

It's been years since the droideka got introduced, AND STILL NO FORCEFIELD FOR THE MINIFIG DROIDEKA!!!!?

[@Stuffiscool-]

fax lol - this has been my favorite droid (followed closely by super battle droid and commando) and Im slightly dissapointed at the lack of prequel sets and detail on figs. But alas, we pay for the brand name and not for the quality, even if prequel fans leave they don't care. They will still make more than enough money.

[@The_mrbob]

Halo Mega shield bubble but smaller

[@kojinaoftheinvertedeye810]

Hot take: 1999 minifig droideka is best

[@shadowslayer205]

Agreed. It might not have looked the most movie-accurate, but as far as I'm aware it's the only minifig-scale droideka that can fold into a ball. (It's also very easy to build with spare parts you'd have lying around.)

[@SkitLegoIdeaTheory]

60$ seems surprisingly affordable for that kind of set considering how bad Lego inflation has been lately

[@a_literal_brick]

This and the Sith Infiltrator are probably the only two sets of the season that I really want. I normally don't go in on the big droid models, but this one looks so cool and it's a reasonable price in 2024 money

[@squatchbricks]

The build itself is really cool, it kind of brings me back to the aesthetic of the Star Wars technic figures from back in the day. The minifig scale one needs work though…

[@StrikerFX47]

It reminds me of the technic set too.

[@dagimmic774]

I mean I wouldn’t say it rolls up exactly like the movie but it does certainly roll up

[@eightcoins4401]

The issue is in the movie the droideka wheel was CG and wouldnt be possible with something of the same shape irl

[@dagimmic774]

@@eightcoins4401yeah but I don’t know, I feel like they could have used ball joints or at least something that would allow the legs to rotate like a technic pin or something

[@TBevill1231]

Got this set during Star Wars weekend and it is a great build! Highly recommended!

[@pharaohbubbles1547]

The idea of the droideka was built by the Calacoid, a species in Star Wars that basically have this sorta techno cult that builds droids based off other creatures on their planet, like the vulture droids, tri droids, HMP gunships, buzz droids, and the droideka, based off their own physiology and appearance

[@jervistetchMadHater]

Its amazing the first little minifig destroyer droid. Is still the best looking one after 25 years

[@MasterSpaz]

When I saw this in the store it stopped me dead in my tracks! I had gotten the technic set when I was a kid and loved it, even though I missed a step or two and it never sprung open correctly lol

Man, reminds me of the technic one all those years back

[@augsdoggs]

Bought it, built it, love it!

[@AnonymousFreakYT]

I miss my old 1999 version. It was Technics and used rubber bands to hold either “open ready to fire” or “ball ready to roll” position. It even had a release button so that if you rolled it, it would trigger unfolding at the right time and (most of the time) spring open perfectly.

[@xxserpok_259xx8]

The only bad thing about the minifig scale droideka is the eyes. You can just modifiy those.

[@isaacschmitt4803]

They already *had* a decent minifig scale Droideka . . . why reinvent the wheel?!?

[@DLT57]

Imagine building the drioidak and watching him

I had the og version of this back in 99 when I was a kid. I got it for my birthday.

[@whiplash3769]

I haven’t bought a Lego sat in a long time but I may have to get this one. I used to love these droids and had made some of my own out of legos when I was a kid.

[@haligaz9119]

The mini fig scale one looks almost exactly like the original, I dig it

[@leftygurl]

i didnt know that the arms would go back and forth, i love that. the alternating firing/recoil on their blasters is very iconic in my mind and i love that that made it into this model.

[@matttheavgegeek7652]

I love how Lego designed it so it can dance that’s awsome

[@MaliEmpireKing]

I want a LEGO war of the worlds tripod. Droideka reminded me of the tripods

[@bryceplatzer1651]

The arms move like that because that’s how all the recoil for its blasters are always animated. A little shimmy

[@Chowder4491]

Lego NEEDS to start putting droidekas in sets again, I know this one kinda sucks, but at least it’s something.

[@wwt17]

That shit is pretty dope. I hope Hot Toys makes these someday to go along with the B1 and B2 battle droids.

[@AbsolutelyJason]

Sweet! I'm tempted to pick it up!

[@JohnathanMiller-nw9lq]

You know what, I would so modify it to were there is a controller but get a load of this, it allows to have a firing nerf bullet system, and can transform into a ball to roll out and travel.

[@eightcoins4401]

2002 produced the only minifig droideka to look anything like a droideka. Everyone made after they messed up

[@idiotindisguise8382]

I love this set a ton, although my only problem with it is that the legs aren’t bendable

[@baconlord00]

The minifig looks like the og design from lego star wars, I see no problem.

The technic droid from 20 years ago was the best

[@adamh781]

Honestly so gratefull i have set 7662 and the droideka minifig that came with it... thats probably the one ill be putting by the name plate of this set. Been craving a larger scale droideka like this for forever now 😍

I remember asking Santa for this when I was a kid and I got a freaking service Droid instead. I mean he could have asked my dad the difference

[@zach99999]

The minifig size one is way better than the derpy ball ones they made forever. Those things barely looked like droidekas

[@sarissanhunter7227]

They need to make one that deploys on rolling.

also note on h1, if used in a serrated edge it’s edge retention becomes higher than any other tested steel according to what i know.

The minifig droideka could have been so much better. Either LEGO didn’t do their homework and watch several KZbin videos of moc builds or they did and didn’t want to give credit to whom it was due.

[@MonographicSingleheadedM-sp2wk]

this set is ridicilously well crafted.

[@OOM-7389]

I think the minifig scale one just needs better legs

[@TheFifthHorseman_]

The arms are also screwy if you take a closer look.

[@smpandlox8036]

I have it. It’s a great display piece even though the miniature is so goofy. I get they tried to make it with as few pieces as possible, but they could’ve used an older miniature design instead.

[@ThatFlyGuy69.]

I think the Minifig droideka is fine it works and I can tell what it is. I really don’t see how it could be built any better tbh

[@Voidboi223]

The worst part about the micro build is that in previous older sets they had better looking legs that used a clip top make them actually able to fold up, then they made the body scrunch up to actually... roll... It was awesome, that micro build looks like it was made with about 10 minutes left to the set design time

[@Revo_Art]

Love the music

[@Dynamite_TNT]

thank you for not complaining about there being no shield

[@Joystick2705]

The microbuild is ugly because they replicated the big version in minifigure scale instead of making it more playable, and for a decorztion set that is the best thing to do in my opinion

[@VinwardWasHere]

The first lego set ive seen that actually seem fairly priced 😭

[@DriftAndClarkStudiosOFFICIAL]

no way they did the bionicle arms
