LEGO doesn't have too many prequels sets from the movies avalible for purchase, and retired sets are super expensive, so I took it upon myself to part out the 2013 Republic Gunship instead.

Parting it out is the way to go! I parted out this set as well as the drop ship with AT-OT in 2018 for less than half the price. I did use replica stickers though that were 5-6 bucks each, couldnt bring myself to buy lego ones. Agree it feels so much more rewarding after going through this process.

Yeah I just threw most of my Lego collection. I just kept Lego Technix stuff. It was mostly 80’s space Lego and base plates and stuff I didn’t think anyone would be interested in anymore. I don’t really like what Lego has become now which is is just a franchise machine for movies today. They used to be really innovative.

Part-out retired Star Wars sets is often a better idea than buying a retired set. And if, like me, you couldn't care less about the Minifigures, means a significantly price cut in the process. I'm considering doing it but for the UCS Death Star II and Imperial Shuttle...'cause I'm not giving 3000€ for a new Death Star II, or 900€ for a new Imperial Shuttle.

@RoscoeWasHere 2 года назад

Yeah, if you don't get minifigs, you can usually part older sets out for close to MSRP.

@legojedi328 2 года назад

@Tyrant18able 2 года назад

Parting out retired sets made my parts collection bigger. Especially when I was building the older AT-AT before the 2 newest ones. Salvaged sets also can be fulfilling too. I'm currently parting out the clone wars gunship its much easier to find parts for in my opinion.

@OTHDogDad 2 года назад

Great video! I don’t know way people don’t do this more. I was able to build a couple AT-OP dropship with AT-TE for about double your cost. My two big tips: (1) look at every part price because you can often save a lot if you switch a few pieces to used instead of new; and (2) order replacement/copied stickers on eBay.

@modestdemigod310 2 года назад

Parting out is fun. I made my own mid-size AT-AT, and it was great to get piece by piece until my table was full; ready for the build.

@TheRealFeechLaManna 2 года назад

Somewhat in line with your project, I am thinking a lot about trying to buy a Moc instruction and make an order on Bricklink and do a Moc instead of an official set. I once saw a ship on a big wave made of a map and I would go pretty far to own that..in due time. But you do help push me towards going beyond official sets. I like this new style of yours where you are more..contemplating things..than just talking about them, if that makes any sense.

@kayman1615 2 года назад

Totally agree you do appreciate it more when you went to all that effort to part out a set on Bricklink!!! I did that for Cafe Corner & Green Grocer, and it for me hooked. Went on to also part out Emerald Night and Imperial Flagship. Def save a lot compared to brand new sealed sets and it’s fun. I do want a minifig scale Gunship but I will continue to wait as I think they will eventually release another one, surely.

@pauselab5569 2 года назад

Guys before you try a random set, please keep in mind that this technic is only useful for sets that were just remade and sets that costs over 200bucks because of huge shipping costs and you won’t find any cheap parts of those parts weren’t just released. Lastly, this technic doesn’t work on Ninjago and bionicle because of the absurd amount of printed pieces, minifigures and super rare pieces in general.

@asmo1313 2 года назад

I made 2 jabbas palaces like this (the 2012 version). My experience: it will cost wayyyyy more than you figue out at first, the 80/20 rule comes into play (80 % of the parts take 20 % of the time to find, the last 20 % takes up the rest of your time) to make sure I had all parts I made a print of the parts pages of the build manual , cut them all out and put them in order into trays. As soon as I had all the specific bricks required the print got taken out and discarded, so I was able to keep track of what still to order and what was complete. Also helped with building as all was neatly sorted. I also helped in the building proces that I checked the bricks so many times I blindy could get em without searching.

I did this for the Ghost a year ago because it had gotten so expensive. I did save some money but the amount of time it took to order everything and organize and build it was sooo much longer that it wasnt really cost-effective for me. Some parts were rare and hard to get and ultimately the time it took was not worth it for me and I ended up wishing I had just bought the actual set from the start.

For 5month xD Will you mod your gunship to add fully closing side doors and makes the turrets detachable but when attached, attached to the front archway ?

@@Jay-Zech Even then the play scale version is better, frankly at the scale they made the UCS version it's too large to display anywhere comfortably and the vehicle is pretty much designed as the perfect toy so making a version that can't hold figures just seems absurd to me, not to mention that it doesn't fit is with the scale theory of the UCS line, they traditionally either do very large version of small dog fighter style craft, or very large versions of vehicles that benefit from being so large ala the super star destroyer. The republic gunship doesn't fit into either of those and generally sticks out like a sore thumb.
