hello everyone its Jiang here with all of the Star Wars the last Jedi
brick-built sets for the first wave of release in
the flesh in person on my channel you will now find reviews deep in-depth
reviews for each of these sets or if you've seen them before they are now
back you can find all of them in my Star Wars review playlist in this video
though I'm going to go through each of these sets very quickly to give you kind
of a summary smaller version of those reviews in a nice small package this is
the first-order heavy assault Walker or ATM 6 as it's being called in universe
it comes with a new first-order Walker driver 1 first order stormtrooper a new
version of rate Captain Poe Dameron and a resistance trooper the legs are very
stable and pretty well articulated giving a decent range of motion front
and back and you can actually pose it on just three legs so it can really look
like it's taking a big step or about to trip the head can be moved scientist ID
and also turned and on that head you have a couple of spring-loaded shooters
that can be fired from the sides those are under underneath the the chin
section these do not actually work here but you can turn them these don't
actually work but you can move them up and down and the roof opens up and the
front also angles down to give you access to space for just one single
driver figure there's also a shooting mega caliber cannon up on the top that
features a six stud shooter that can be fired off pretty easily and you can also
angle it up and down as well as retract and extend it the body opens up to give
you some ammunition and accessory storage but you can only really
comfortably fit maybe two figures on each side as a toy this is definitely
not a troop transporter with thirteen hundred and seventy-six pieces this is a
complex build and much more involved than previous walkers however all those
extra parts do not translate to extra size and that makes the 160 dollar us
price point a tough pill to swallow the resistance bomber is probably one of the
better sets in this wave overall it comes with vice-admiral hold oh another
pod Ameren resistance gunner page a resistance Bombardier and a resistance
bomber pilot in spite of its thin tall top-heavy looking design it's actually
able to stand on the ground on its own it uses a combination of prints stickers
and genuine brick built details that I think all tend to flow together very
well all throughout the entire model it's also well set up for play you can
just grab the whole thing around it's kind of Center spine the lower turret
just falls down with gravity and both turrets actually follow gravity for that
gyro-stabilized kind of b-wing inspired sort of look
these individual turret pods that are inspired by World War 2 bombers are not
able to actually shoot but each one is able to hold a figure inside there
between these printed dish pieces but these guns here are able to shoot with
their stud shooters one each and they give you some extra studs and they also
have spring-loaded shooters that are fantastically well built in integrated
and hidden into the body and just see the tips of them there and the triggers
to activate those are right here you can barely see them they just look like
regular brick built detail but you push that and this comes out also hidden away
and well integrated is secret storage for an additional spring-loaded shooter
projectile and this trigger which operates the bomb drop mechanism this
thing is a bomber and it's full of bombs or well these things there are seven of
them in there and they fall out one at a time it's a great mechanism bombs get
reloaded very easily from this hatch here just drop them in and most of the
remainder of the upper fuselage opens up to give you access to a generous
interior space which has a seat for the tail main gunner and also for the
the Bombardier who can rotate around on his seat and he has a targeting computer
console the main canopy assembly meanwhile just slides off to the front
and there's space for two figures in there with a bunch of printed console
pieces for them this has 780 pieces but a fair number of
them are large and/or printed which somewhat helps to justify the $110 u.s.
price point that does still feel expensive to me but this set does
display well and it plays fantastically well here's something a bit different
while not officially an ultimate collector series bb-8 this is
effectively an ultimate collector series bb-8 it even comes with the UCS style
plaque at first glance this is a pretty good representation of bb-8 in a form
that just screams Hey look at me I'm actually made of Lego with all of those
exposed studs all over it they did a good job of approximating the spherical
main body shape and also getting in some of the important small details the build
for this was somewhat of a challenge but a good challenge and fun and the
interior kind of skeletal build upon which you put the exterior rounded plate
assemblies on is actually very functional they basically give you some
puppeteering tools to allow you to bring this whole thing to life that's just a
little bit of forward and back motion but you can spin the head around
completely just by turning this section of the body it just really just brings a
lot of joyous movement to the thing very easily and I love how it kind of wobbles
back and forth also if you lift the whole thing up the head just kind of
wobbles a bit they also help you to recreate a famous scene from the force
awakens bringing the little thumbs up torch out
now when you retract this it does not close the door you have to do that
manually but at least bringing it out does that pretty properly and that's
actually a new color for the little flame piece on the included buildable
stand is a regular minifig scaled bb-8 which is not exclusive to this set
this is eleven hundred and six pieces for $100 u.s. which gives it a very good
price to part ratio though admittedly many of those pieces are a small one by
ones here's kylo ren's TIE fighter or more
specifically the tie the end space superiority fighter also known as the
tie silencer this one comes with a new version of kylo Ren a first-order
Special Forces TIE fighter pilot one first order stormtrooper and most
important of all be b9e aka Darth Ball as I mentioned in my full review of this
set I cannot be impartial about it it is basically a combination of a TIE
Interceptor and Darth Vader's advanced tie both of which I like very much and
then they had to go and wrap the whole thing in a very dark and deliciously
evil color scheme mostly black with accents of trans red it's hard to go
wrong with all of those things put together although I don't like the blue
back here this does have spring-loaded shooters that are very well integrated
into the base so they just show you the tips out the front gives you some play
value there without really taking anything away from the looks but beyond
that there's not much else to see this does have a cockpit that opens up and
will hold either kylo Ren or a pilot figure of some other sort but it's a
little bit cramped in there there was no additional console and there's no
additional play value or other things you can do with this but it just looks
really good to me the parts count of six hundred and thirty is deceptively low
for the size of the build but the price of $80 u.s. is deceptively high
thankfully the resistance transport pod here is on the low end of the price
scale and is not a bad set it includes a new version of Finn the first occurrence
of rose as a figure from the last Jedi and bb-8 if you're sure you've seen this
before the last two Jedi well you're not going crazy it's
essentially a sized up version of the control pod of the force awakens
resistance troop transporter so basically this with guns on the side and
then scaled up that increase in scale has allowed them to put a lot of
features into this little pod including a pretty nicely detailed cockpit area
that holds on to two figures easily they even have space to hold on to their
personal weapons got a flight yoke there in the front that's something we don't
get very frequently and also has a sticker for a console little piece in
the front however this canopy that removes fairly easily does have eight
stickers eight clear backed stickers on it if you don't like stickers you may
not like putting this set together because it really doesn't look so good
with those left off those were pretty important for some of the major details
now this does have the ability to turn the gun on the side or the gun
emplacement up and down via a little bit of magic it's kind of a remote thing it
actually feels really cool to do that has a single stud shooter on the side
but there are also a pair of spring-loaded shooters built in
underneath here that you can barely even see those have a remote trigger over
here with this wheel you just turn the wheel fires off one fires off the other
that's a good just implementation and good integration of an action feature
the whole thing looks I think equally good or bad from all angles depending
upon how you look at it and in addition to the cockpit space you also have
interior space you can get to here we've got a spot for bb-8 a little bit of
extra storage behind that and all this comes off as well more storage space
there got some thermal detonators in a compartment and also got more storage
over here secret compartment to hold on to some extra ammunition for your stud
shooter I actually forgot to show this compartment in my full-sized review oops
this has just shy of 300 pieces which makes the just shy of $30 retail price
seemed fairly reasonable it is a small thing but like I said and showed they
did pack a lot into that small package the smallest bad guy set is this
first-order heavy scout Walker it comes with in annoyed general
Hux one Imperial I mean first order gunner a very nice first order
flametrooper nothing new there though and one resistance trooper this looks
unique weird potentially really ugly has eight legs and all of those legs move
thanks to the very obvious wheels with tires that you see from the side when
you move this thing back and forth it causes some cams to basically hit the
legs and make them go up and down it's not a very convincing thing to me it
doesn't look really good he's gonna work really well either I feel like the
mechanism is just too obvious and a little bit too simplistic and how it
works upstairs meanwhile you're not able to
rotate the head from side to side it's not a turret and you can't angle the
head up and down either you can only angle these side cannons which have the
spring-loaded shooters that are entirely too obvious when they're loaded up they
work fine but I don't like how they appear until you actually remove the
projectile you can turn these cannons whatever they're supposed to be up and
down a little bit but that's about it I think the best view of this thing is
from right there this is nice detailing nice shaping and I think the colors go
together well too I also think it looks pretty decent on the top and the main
hatch seals up pretty well there's space for two figures to just barely fit
inside one gets a console at the front and I think this overall works out for
interior space I think the part count of 554 here means very little because
honestly I don't think most fans are going to be willing to pay $50 u.s. for
something that is this limited in play doesn't work so well with its mechanism
isn't particularly attractive to look at and doesn't even come with spectacular
minifigs but then there's the first-order Star Destroyer the biggest
set of the way with this we get an exclusive figure of
supreme leader snoke himself and i will come back to him next to him is an
imperial excuse me first order officer next to him is a first-order shuttle
pilot a couple of stormtroopers one of them being a squad leader not sergeant
here's a medical droid and most importantly once again is Darth Baal but
coming back to that supreme leader snoke I personally feel this is a
fantastically well detailed figure both from the front and from the back there's
only one problem with it he should be one and a half times as tall I think the
overall shape of this resurgence class battle cruiser has been well replicated
by Lego and they put a good amount of detail into the upper decks which are
layered well including gaps beneath them to let you see under there that gets up
to 11 plates thick in total to pull all of that off this does have stud shooters
used on the sides for defense cannons which is fine in and of itself I think
except these don't move they're completely stationary so they're
only able to fire directly to the side and down it has limited play value if
you ask me around the back looks not too bad gonna use a little bit more detail
maybe a little bit more covering of some of the Technic stuff but overall I think
it displays pretty well the bridge section of it the main bridge that is
looks quite good to me this looks really good on display from many angles and for
transport or potentially play they also include as usual a handle that retracts
into the top of the thing comes from right here it just comes out and it's
right at the balance point so you can pick the whole thing up with a single
finger it even looks respectable from the underside to me except for that one
red piece that kind of sticks out but as Lego sets go yeah not bad if you want to
hang this from a ceiling but make sure you have a very strong hook actually I
better double down on that statement do not try to hang this from anything
unless you have the right equipment to do
it's heavy and it can tear a ceiling apart on a lighter note I think the
interior here is the best of any lego Star Destroyer to date they just make
really good use of the space and they try to finish up the interior spaces as
best they can there are a lot of stickers there are
some printed pieces as well but there are just a lot of usable spaces I like
the stairs over here I like the fact that you can go through kind of a tunnel
there to get to the other side just many activities I think can be you know
played out throughout this whole thing they even have kind of a working little
turbolift over here on the side to get up to snoke's
throne room and he does have to be leaned back a little bit to fit the top
of this down but he gets a little miniature build of translucent hologram
to represent kylo Ren or someone else Annie as I consul next to him this set
comes with 1416 pieces and the price brace yourself 160 US dollars not
terrible value but not great either well that went longer than I expected as
usual but if you want to listen to me talk even longer about these same sets
please do check out the full reviews in the Star Wars playlist on my channel I
regularly do new reviews when new things come out and I also do work on custom
builds I hope to have a chance to talk to you again soon but for now I'll let
you go thanks for watching
you
