Notice how they label them both as clone troopers even thought one can be technically different with the armor pieces, while in the 2020 AAT tank they label the droids as different even though there is literally nothing different about them.
@@doctorcreeps2169 Ah, that's good to know. Though it's interesting that they(not LEGO) decided to go with the airborne armor instead of the usual regular p2 armor.
To be honest this kinda feels like the figure selection Lego would do nowadays, I would expect this set to have like 4 clone troopers since that was the kind of figure selections Lego used to do
Literally 99% of sets aren’t to perfect 1:1 scale with Minifigures. I find the selective application of when it matters by some commenters to be laughable. Just be consistent.
The tanks commander is usually the guy that is sticking out of the top of the turret, so I imagine it is the same in Star Wars. Plus I can recall an episode of the clone wars where there is a battle droid commander sicking up out of the turret.
No, the person on the turret is the gunner. The officer ocasionally sticks his head out to get a better field of view. The cammanders job is not the turret gunner. I would also assume it applies to star wars
@@papilarry9935 I apologize. It has been engraved into my brain from pop culture. And I have looked into it. For Star Wars, it is the commander. Numerous scenes in the clone wars show this (at least with the Battle droids)
Personally I’m fine with how big it is, but for me the problem is with how tall it is. It is NOT that tall in universe. Aside from the size, overall it’s a bit inaccurate in the way it looks.
The flipup seat in this set is blocking the rear ramp, and takes up half of the internal space, i would have probably end up removing the seat... now i have a Minifig scale Brickvault TX-130 a bit modified by myself, and in imperial colors, with rogue one tank troopers, i feel so superior to this set actually...
I always wanted this set but could never find it, absolutely loved it in the old original Star Wars Battlefront games so I wanted it terribly in LEGO form to go with my Clones that I acquired in the mentioned Battlepacks. Now that I'm older they're not only more expensive but just as hard to find. But I do have half of one from a loose lot, hoping to finish it someday Ren Var; Harbor
I actually prefer it when the stickers have a clear bit on instead of white, since the sticker white does not match the colour of the bricks. Also, they’re easier to remove and last longer.
Please continue to use the Canon camera for all upcoming videos. It beats the iPhone 13 in every way in terms of video quality, color, autofocus, aperture, and all.
I noticed that these tanks and their successors are the most inconsistent vehicles in terms of power/balance in video games, especially Empire at War game & mods. In the original game the 2-M (imperial successor) is durable but almost completely not threathening even if all 4 are used and the anti-infantry cannons sometimes just don't shoot. In the Republic at War mod it's great against vehicles but infantry like super battle droids can shred it in seconds, also it's not very durable. In Thrawn's Revenge mod they are durable but mediocre in combat, only dealing well with light vehicles. In Awakening of the Rebellion mod these are the best units period, killing everything in seconds and tanking 2 turbolaser salvos too. And since it wasn't featured in a movie then if it eventually happens the writers can pretty much go with it as they want, extremely inconsistent. Unless they make it shoot a beam cannon like they did with the prototype b-wing, that might be too much.
Dont buy a house ryan just build a lego set full life size to live in with a star war s lego studio musium of all yar set in cabnet desplays $5 entry to cume an look. .an singing s an meet an greet days when u free to might be better an spend less but have sume thing biger and better. .
Nah. This looks pretty blocky, specially the centre cockpit area. Fine for 2008, not so much for 2021. The top turret with the gun shouldn't be there at all either. Not judging by the available reference pictures online. I guess LEGO based it on preliminary sketches for the vehicle. Which is why it's absent in the 2017 version. At any rate, this is such an obscure vehicle I'm not expecting LEGO to ever bother remaking it properly in a decent size. Not unless suddenly The Bad Batch switches vehicle in season 2 and even then...
Askmandr: what are your thoughts on the 66674 sky walker adventure pack? And when do you think it will be released elsewhere? Also keep up the great videos!!
People complain about stuff not being minifigure scale. I actually liked when sets weren’t because you’re getting more that way in my opinion. I never had a problem with it and I like larger sets. For sure better paying $50 for this in the day than $50 for the more recent tank.
@MandRproduction regarding the pieces that fall off easily (the front turrets) - what if you push the bars all the way into the cones until they slide into the hollow studs? I think that would reinforces them a bit. I did that in the 2021 Lambda shuttle.
dude this is just so creative, wish we could see this sort of stuff in Lego star wars these days. ask MandR: what do you reckon the next ucs vehicle/ship will be (besides AT - AT)? i want the next ucs ship to be the mandalorian fighter, not likely tho.
I remember I hated the clone wars clones because they didn't have black head. Seeing the neck thru the armor just rubbed me the wrong way back in '08. Of course now I love it.
These old sets are great to get used I have a few from the era used and I think that was the golden age of Lego Star Wars really I wish I was into to it at that time however I wasn’t I did not have the time. How ever I think there worry every penny!
The only lego Star Wars tank I have is the 2017 Republic Fighter Tank. I just checked its price and man its gone up in value by a lot. I got it brand new in store (obviously in 2017) for $20 now I see it being sold for $130 XD in my opinion thats a little overpriced but I know nothing about value when it comes to old lego sets :>
Cool another set werth $ 275 mark not bad few ninjago set s i had to pay $350 an up $475. But its good we can still find collector who got sets we mist bying in 80 s orly 91 up to 214. But got them an price will only go up or stay at set price s i got a micro fighter serie 2 werth $65 now glad i dident give it away like series 1 micro fighter i give to greg. ..
I dont believe in 1:1 mini fig scale, but I do have a rule of 3 when only referring to minifigure scale. If it is small in universe, it should be small in lego (looking at you at-rt). If it is medium sized in universe, it should be medium in lego. If it large in universe, it should be large in lego.
Correct me if I’m mis remembering what was said but why is it ok for this set to not be to scale / accurate but absolutely unacceptable that the 2020 AAT isn’t accurate
I used to disagree with Ryan when he said this set was better the the 2017 version. But after this video...... this set is better then the 2017 version 😂😂😂
Slowly I’ve been collecting through out the years . Here and there when I hit target or Walmart , if there’s a cheap set with cool mini figures that I’m interested I’ll grab it and now I have all these mini figs haha .
@@andyzuleta5344 well we only get small battle packs if we’re lucky a 501st or luke’s landspeeder 😂. but i there places have more i think it’s just where i live
kind of stumped on which set i should go for out of these, any thoughts would greatly be appreciated. 1. New batman tumbler 2. Razor Crest 3. Creator haunted house 4. UCS Gunship 5. UCS R2-D2 6. 1989 Batwing 7. Daily Bugle
As a kid, I never actually realised that you was meant to flick the missiles… I thought they were meant to be for decorations. Yes, I was stupid, how could you tell?
Missed out on this set when it was on shelves, regretted it forever. But I got an incomplete, kinda dirty one, no figures for cheap. Cleaned it up, got the replacement parts, and now have the set of my dreams in this fighter tank 😃😃😃
