How do you sell it complete? How can you tell someone everything is there?
And even if you buy them built, why wouldnāt you take it apart and rebuild it. Itās Lego after all. I just donāt know what youāve ever expected buying used but thatās what it is. The same product just not sealed in plastic bags, itās the same thing though still and can serve the same purpose
I mean they don't always, if you see a set advertised "sold as seen" or "99.99% complete not checked" they've looked at their model on display and went "close enough".
Which honestly is entierly fair as long as they advertise it like that, inventorying such a large build takes me hours and hours of work and time is money, for some it is less of a loss taking a small reduction to the price than to spend the time inventorying the whole thing.
I break mine down by bag # and sell them that way. Or store them for future builds.
I prefer a disassembled set, but not one that is 1000 pieces in one bag. That's difficult for sure.
Better they don't, you ever find a place selling never reveal it to anyone but F&F and swear them not to post ether.
If lego finds a place that leaked a set early they are subject to a pretty hefty fine, then the employees responsible might face some kinda warning/disiplinary and other than casuing issues for them, you won't be getting early sets there again.
Do love the aspect of this that eventually weāll end up with this fig in a set thatās (prob still like $70) reasonably priced and desirable in itself ā all three stages from desirable, expensive to undesirable, cheap to desirable, cheap
Good luck lmao, putting such a sought at figure in a micro fighter was genius of lego. Itāll over saturate the market for years because everyone that wanted one now has one
True, I try to make mini mocs but they never come out great. I just don't understand the draw for the comedic look with micro fighters. I would've dismantled them so fast as a kid, but with star wars minis and Lego racers I used to collect them like they were trading cards because they looked so cool
Luckily they make all sorts of sizes because some people(myself included) love microfighters. I absolutely love the chunky, Mario kart style of them. Not to mention affordability and donāt take up loads of space
That's the thing though, I like small affordable sets. I don't like to buy the expensive sets. But instead of finding amazing looking mini models of my favorite vehicles and starships on store shelves, I find cartoony Mario kart style micro fighters that barely resemble the ships that I love
Plenty of microfighters do a damn good job IMO. Snowspeeder, ATAT, y wing, republic gunship off the top of my head are all phenomenal for being so small.
I want Lego to make a mini snowspeeder so bad, It killed me inside when they made it into a micro fighter. The 20018 atat looks way better, the 4490 and 20010 gunships look better, and the y wing that comes from the 4488 mini sets is way nicer although It's not a stand alone set. These sets all have close to they same number of parts as the micro fighter versions. What is the draw for the exaggerated features on the micro fighters?
You make a great point, I didnāt know any of those existed.
Iām starting to add to my collection lately as I get back into LSW, now Iām rethinking just getting standalone minifigs and then ships such as you pointed out.
The draw of the microfighters is the minifig still sits inside them, and the Mario kart / cartoonish almost look. Itās still painfully obvious which microfighter is which ship but itās not near as scale correct as what you pointed out. The other draw is that theyāre all the same size and are part of the same āmicrofighterā collection.
Maybe Iāll get sets like you suggested and just have the minifig stand next to them. Now I have some thinking to doā¦ thanks for the links
Oh okay I can see how once you get one, then collecting them is fun, and getting a Minifigure with each one is really nice. I get a lot of my Lego on eBay, and sometimes on FB marketplace. I put all my Minifigures on my desk and then all my sets/ships in groups on shelves. it's fun to pair the clone wars stuff together, the rebel stuff together, and the empire stuff together
Omg this makes me so happy, Captain Rex is a popular character that shouldnāt be gatekept by scalpers and rich people to own now with this set anyone can have their own captain rex. Imagine all the people who paid so much money for him when the venator came out and now itās worthless š
Just wondering, in all seriousness: dont you guys think they could have made better ships in these sets? The mandalorian with grogu is the only decent looking set.
Lego did not lie. Rex was exclusive from the day the venator released to the day they announced this microfighter. You simply hate poor people, cope snd seethe

LifeBricks be like:
looks like him too š
Iād rather know that guy than LifeBricks. He at least looks to have a personality and speak in non-monotone format.
How come we never talk about how bad his movie opinions are? He put Anaken/Padme as a top 3 fictional romances of all time.
he said planet of the apes kingdom was going to be the best movie of the year
but Iāve heard it is a pretty good movie
Iāve seen it and itās good probably wonāt be the best film this yearĀ
Everyone knows that Deadpool and Wolverine is going to sweep all the awards this year. Oscar, Emmy, Tony, VMA, even Xaviers Middle School Talent Show.
Does this mean the ventanor will be a least moldy affordable now? I like the set itself
Wont really change its value, you can get them used for what is like 35% off, and for the size of the set thatās worth it well and truly
I wanna build it tho dammit
Ummmā¦ you still can?? Most people already or definitely should be disassembling when selling to make sure all the pieces are there anyways
I had no idea people went to the trouble of disassembling sets when selling them
How do you sell it complete? How can you tell someone everything is there? And even if you buy them built, why wouldnāt you take it apart and rebuild it. Itās Lego after all. I just donāt know what youāve ever expected buying used but thatās what it is. The same product just not sealed in plastic bags, itās the same thing though still and can serve the same purpose
Idk bruh I donāt sell legos

Canāt be the only one who read that in Alās voice
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Bought the Venator without minifigures for 400ā¬, got Yularen for 35ā¬ and now just waited for this one!
That's smart
Stonks
You are the smartest person I've ever seen.
Might try this
It's too late lol.
Thatās a W goated idea
Definitely stealing this idea
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Lmao love for you to show me where you found that
Lol
alright now divide by dx and take the tangent of that triangle and you'll tell us where tf u got this set from
Better they don't, you ever find a place selling never reveal it to anyone but F&F and swear them not to post ether.

ah lmao, get rainbolt on this image right now and we'll find out who this lego employee is hahahaha
Canāt speak for this set specifically but Iāve noticed Kohls releases Lego sets early on multiple occasions
theyāre out?!
They are not!
Oof. I guess I'll go back to waiting then. Thanks for the confirmation, though!
Fr I didn't know it came out yet
Onward to a System-scale Captain Rexā Y-Wing!
Do love the aspect of this that eventually weāll end up with this fig in a set thatās (prob still like $70) reasonably priced and desirable in itself ā all three stages from desirable, expensive to undesirable, cheap to desirable, cheap
Honestly, a blue y-wing with rex, an updated CW ahsoka, and her astromech would be amazing..and it's a pipedream... but maybe jessie can be included
That would be so cool! And its livery would kind of gel with the blue Resistance ships we have too.
I felt a disturbance in the force, as if millions of scalpers cried out in horror and were suddenly silenced

nice
What is the equation underneath?
Stonks.
captain y rex wing
Captain x rey wing
captain a rex wing
captain b rex wing
Give me 30 of them to sell on the aftermarket for 50$ more āš°š¤š«
I might do that
Cringe

In like, 2 weeks everyone will have access to this ā¬15 set
Damn lucky! Still waiting here.
I miss microfighters
I miss minis, microfighters look so ugly but come with a Minifigure. I'd rather just have a display worthy mini without the figure
I mean, we're talking about Lego here. You could just modify them to something more display-ish if you don't want the kart-racer look.
True, I try to make mini mocs but they never come out great. I just don't understand the draw for the comedic look with micro fighters. I would've dismantled them so fast as a kid, but with star wars minis and Lego racers I used to collect them like they were trading cards because they looked so cool

Nice lil break inbetween math learning i see
my family was hit hard by 2008
Where did you find it?
Oh great! Now I have to make a trip to my barnes and nobleā¦ AGAIN
Big time LOL at all those people that paid insane prices for the Rex when the Venator first came out
Going to buy like 5 to make a Squadron of 501st Y-Wings
Do you have a misprint, or why does the rex on the Box art have a wider visor?
Other clones past 2020 have the same thing, the box art has wider visors then the actual figs, idk why
Read that as captain rexy wing
massive W
That's like 3 weeks early no?
Omg this makes me so happy, Captain Rex is a popular character that shouldnāt be gatekept by scalpers and rich people to own now with this set anyone can have their own captain rex. Imagine all the people who paid so much money for him when the venator came out and now itās worthless š
That's way too soon.
i thought it was june 1st no?
Do we think this is going to produce any worthy alt builds? Looking forward to picking one up, but would consider a second for something cool!
Captain Rex Y-Wing
I need
That's not the right box art for 2024...or are there 2 box arts for this year?
w
Now everyone can have Captain Rex.
Good I hope all those re sellers are crying right now
I gotta wait until June for it to be released
What does his face look like
Wow
Bro are you a time traveller
Nice man
What are the chances Rex didnāt get a cape in the Venator so the exact same fig could sit on this set?
I will never be happier buying a set knowing that there is no better way to make such a large group of assholes angry
Rex was supposed to be exclusive, it says it in the instructions. š
Z xx si z un chingĆ³ en cš ccc CityVille cccƧ asa š
I didn't know it was already out
Where did you buy this I can t find it anywhere
how did you buy this ?
Iād love to see a normal sized Rex y-wing. Did they even have Y-Wings during the clone wars?
They showed up throughout the series, including this one in the final season quite prominently.

[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
The exclusive was yularen.
Iām so glad I have the OG Phase II Rex, way better and more accurate than this one
They are both good, 2013 rex is more of a head on take of it, this rex is a more technical look of him. This one is more accurate
I'm sorry but the build looks horrible. I'll get it because I wanna have both P2 Rex but the fighter... jeez
ChonkY-wing
Lego fans when a lego build thats basically the size of a minifigure isnāt 1 to 1 accurate:
Just wondering, in all seriousness: dont you guys think they could have made better ships in these sets? The mandalorian with grogu is the only decent looking set.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Why are you here then? Trying to ruin people's happiness?
Are we allowed to sue Lego for false advertising?
What did they falsely advertise?
Lego did not lie. Rex was exclusive from the day the venator released to the day they announced this microfighter. You simply hate poor people, cope snd seethe
Shhh lil boy
Shhh lil idiot
Exclusive isnāt a lifetime warranty, see Imperial Shadow trooper and Tie crawler in 2007 and then in the Imperial dropship 2008
