small display models like this are exactly what lego needs to make more of. they're so much better for adult collectors than the £600 behemoths you can't display easily

[willTFsLife]

This is no joke one of the nicest lego sets I have ever had the pleasure to build. And I didn't find the price as exorbitant as other Star Wars 18+ sets, like the diarama sets. This really felt like expert level design at an affordable cost, and makes for a great display piece even if you don't have much room.

I'd love to see a Mon Calamari Cruiser done in Lego, this midi scale series would be a perfect place for it. Actually, I think most of Star Wars capital ships would fit great in this. I also kinda hope they may change their minds and re-release Nebulon B, like they did a second run of Saturn V rocket.

I was a huge Lego kid growing up and still own quite a bit, but as an adult who now is beginning to pay their own way in life, it is WILD how expensive Lego is. And this is coming from a guy who once used price to part ratios and price to volume ratios to shut down any notion that Lego was overpriced as a teenager. Don't get me wrong, this is a cool model and as much as the building experience is lovely with this medium, I sometimes do really struggle to see the value in Lego adult oriented display models. The fact of the matter is that these are expensive toys with a premium price, which you mostly just look at instead of play with as an adult. If you love the stuff, that's fantastic, but I do get frustrated with people who refuse to hear anything about Lego being overpriced, it has always been expensive, but it has gotten pretty ridiculous over the last few years.

The scale of the mini stardestroyers is actualy spot on, a stardestroyer is 1 mile, the super is a bit under 12 miles, the model does 5-ish studs for the smal and 56-ish for the super, thats not bad at all.

I love that you didn't spoil the easter egg unlike every other you tuber and person on social media. All class Jang

[LTPrime]

Totally agree with you on this! A whole line of capitol ships at this scale would be awesome. A Venator, a Profundity, Hammerhead Corvette. This is a potential line they can do a lot with.

[albertoacevedo]

I don't think you are in the wrong for saying this is overpriced. This along with the series of helmets has pushed the pricing limits for displayable type sets. Yes this is a really well done set and there are those that would pay the price. However, if there were no gifts with purchase or 2x VIP points to go along with the set, I don't think it would have sold out as fast as it did.

[CBMX_GAMING]

Hope they continue this line of ship models, I can think of so many great things they could do with this scale. My dream would be a Lucrehulk. Thanks for the independent review, Jang! Trust your reviews and overall perspective on LEGO more than any other.

Now we need a Death Star 2 with this scale so we can recreate it crashing.

[TheGW]

This set sold out so fast because LEGO either significantly underestimated demand and didn’t produce enough, or because they gave too many to Walmart as an exclusive. A set selling out is not always indicative purely of popularity.

My store got like 12 of this set for launch day. We got 80 Endor heroes brickheadz. We got 26 UCS X-Wings.

[alienextraterrestrial]

Lego making this into a new product line seems too good to be true. I definitely have my fingers crossed.

[michaelgargano]

Something I really appreciate about this review (haven’t looked specifically for this in other reviews) is how Jang aligned the ingot pieces in a way that the mold mark is symmetrical. I do the same thing when I build and it’s good to know I’m not alone

[craneoDeFuego]

Just got mine yesterday. I'm in love. This and the Nebulon B are amazing little models, I hope they keep making more. I've always loved micro scale Star Wars Lego models

[AHYL]

This one is a tough one cos it does look awesome and it's a much more affordable and space friendly variant of the ship. But agreed, it's still too expensive; even more awkward is that it's retailing at around the same price as the TIE Bomber, which is now starting to see discounts, as the hype and excitement has died down.

You mentioned cashback, agreed it's a decent way to cushion the blow of these costly sets nowadays; assuming it is successful, I should have the TIE Bomber at 55% off, but only if it works out.

[mostly_rd_trombone]

Definitely agree with you towards the end. My favorite ship type is the Venator, but I just don’t think I can afford the UCS one that’s rumored/upcoming. I’d love one at this size, maybe with a simplified Captain Rex from the UCS one, but not required.

[apluto-ze]

Great review Jang! I like when yiu analyze price, supply and demand for individual projects!

[londond]

Agree 100% that mid scale is the future. I am crushed that they messed up the Nebulon B release as that's one of my all time favourites and I'd love to have one. But I agree the Venator should be next, maybe paired with Invisible Hand. This would even be a way to revive sequel trilogy sets.

Thanks as always for the review.

[parallax]

I would love a mirror of this set as Home One with a micro Corellian Corvette and a Nebulon Frigate. I also agree an entire line of midi scale Star Wars would be great. I was so excited with the first two sets of the original line, so disappointed they were the last two sets.

[Vegvysyr]

Great review! I also appreciate the Piplup in the background.
