LEGO Star Wars Captain Rex Y-Wing REVIEW | Set 75391 

Definitely some dude out there crying who has amassed hundreds of Rex’s

I think I'll buy one (and open and build it like a normal person) just to spite the scalpers.

​@@Ky-xm7tc Haha, sucks to them!

I just saw someone post the figure on FB marketplace 3 days ago asking $100 and I so badly want to make a $10 offer on it and send a screenshot of this box art

Good.

God the brick reporter is so annoying

@@Brodyk923 Hey Brody! I appreciate that response. However, I don't think too many people will agree with that statement.

@@BrickReporteryour friends with Lego empire a wannabe school shooter and I’ve seen the group chats

@@Brodyk923?? Wdym

You shouldn't honestly buy a $650 set just for one minifig. I always buy a bigger set only when I like the build and the minifigures are good too.

completely agree, and at the day lego is primarily a toy and is only really considered collectors because the sets retire after a few years.

I don’t think anyone is upset Rex is available for cheap. It just shouldn’t be the exact same. Even if it’s just the bandage on the head it should be a little different. As many ucs sets have exclusive special versions of minifigures

So in my opinion, whoever thought back then, hey, I'm now buying the €650 Venator just because of Rex Phase 2, was just stupid in my opinion because it was clear that Lego Captain Rex Phase 2 was in again will release cheaper sets. 

As if Rex is the only minifig like that. Oh the horror, people sell LEGO minifigs. Rebels Ahsoka, Queen Amidala, P1 Fox and Rex, Pre Vizsla, Jango Fett, Zeb, Tarkin, Agen Kolar, and the list goes on. Spare me the "for the kids" spiel. If it mattered none of the figs I mentioned would be over $100. It's ridiculous that a piece of plastic reaches those prices. Also the Rancor for that matter. Utterly ridiculous. If LEGO really cared about the kids they wouldn't be pushing those 4+ sets for $50+. I mean hell, that C-3PO is locked behind a $240 paywall. I'm sure kids like him too. And if the argument is that there are many variants of that minifigure then they could have done the same with Rex, like keeping the printed arms exclusive to the Venator. P2 Cody doesn't have printed arms and he's in a $140 set. For the kids, ROFL!

To be fair, 2013 one was in a $30 set

It’s not the first time, he’s appeared in like 4 others older sets.

The 2013 one was originally in a $25 set

@@cjheumiller6311 You might want to do your research, the only sets to feature a P2 Captain Rex minifig was the BARC Speeder with Sidecar (75012) which released in 2013 for around $25-30. Up until then he has not appeared in any other set until the recent UCS Venator (75367) which is of corse $650. So up until now, this is the first time a Rex figure has released in a very long time thats not inaccessible as the 2013 Rex goes for $120-200 normally.

Figures, my favorite destiny youtuber likes Lego star wars as well. We are brothers now.

LEGO SW fans don't want good things. They want others to NOT have good things.

Well this figure is crap. But lego literally said the figures were exclusive. They could’ve slightly changed the figure, but lego doesn’t care

@@hanshotlast the venator owners still have the admiral that came with the set though

People have only been asking for this for a few years. Until 2020 when covid hit Rex was actually pretty cheap and easy to get.

@@cherylbomb1138false statement still, both minifigs are stated as exclusive

they shouldn't have put the Rex in the UCS set in the first place

​@@voydkidWhy not?

@@Mike-sp7zv watch the video, he explains why

@@voydkid I think no figures should've been in the ucs. But it's a certified womp womp moment.

@@dillydraws yeah LEGO likes to mess with their customers

Scam ? Lego is the scammer selling it as exclusive at first lol then lying. No one forces people to buy the minifig for scalper price only idiots

collecting exclusive items and then trading them is not a scam. No one is forcing you to buy overpriced figures. you people are so jalous. Lego lied in a first place, which is disrespectful to their fans. They could’ve easily release totally new Rex, detailed, well made, just little different and everything would be fine. But for some reason they decided to screw with the collectors. I wouldn’t wonder if they now see decline of interest in UCS sets because of moves like this.

@@rawwadyeah, these people really don’t know that voluntary exchange is not a scam

@@rawwad Excactly these people like kissing ...... to lego. These same people that say its a scam will buy 10 of these cheap to scam others down the line years later. If they really wanted a rex, they could buy a cheap knockoff.

@@Christian-wi6hn@Christian-wi6hn By the logic of those people, we should never have exclusive minifigs. They might as well remake everything because it's a scam, lol.

True.

“A long time I have waited for this moment.”

Mine Too :-)

Investors were actually delusional thinking that the most popular clone trooper in the history of Star wars wasn't going to get another minifigure. It reminds me of that controversy when they released that boba Fett the last year as well. This is a toy manufacturer making Star wars toys, Of course they're going to keep making the most popular characters

Not really a surprise, it's known since 2 months or smth ig

@@moonshoes11 oh I didn't know thanks. (btw I don't think my comment offended anyone, so I think it's not pedantic, it's just an aclaration)

If so there shoudlve been a normal y wing

Rex, ahsoka and Anakin, should have all been there with yularen

LEGO just had to avoid the word "exclusive" when describing Rex on the Venator.

​@@sublimchu877 I am pretty sure if they didnt use the word "exclusive", alot of people wouldve skipped the venator

it honestly ridiculous that anakin doesnt come with the set. it's literally HIS capital ship, the Resolute. he should come with the damn set, even if its not a new version of him/exclusive.

It wouldn’t even surprise me, Lego loves to screwup SW fans all the time

Love that, just rubbing salt in the investment bros wounds

or a new Venator playset with both Rex and Yularen

wdym the first phase 2 rex was in a like 25 bucks set, that is not really expensive compared to the other sets with him

@@iovyz7511 maybe he began collecting lego star wars too late. Same for me too.

@@FlopFlop3610 Can't speak for others but where I lived there would only be one shelf of Lego at a Toys R Us 30 minutes away which rarely got updated and was mostly Ninjago/Marvel/City and expensive sets so all these smaller licensed sets got skipped over

@@randam1005 uh well all i can say is bad luck :(

i kinda collected them from an early age. somehow i didnt know that set existed. never saw it in stores, or in lego cataloges. maybe they didnt brougth many of those into my country and they were all bought shortly after. i learned about that set much later when it officially retired

That's exactly why you should't never take a huge risk in anything you do in your life in a case like this happens and you just loose your money and the precious time that you will never get back from it.

they’re already panic selling their rexs everywhere lol. even the man baby you tubers are throwing a fit its truly glorious

That's best feeling, I can't even explain how happy I am for those scalpers and resellers losing their money. Getting phase 2 Rex is fine addition tho.

I am going to unblock MandR momentarily just so I can watch the meltdown.

I am gonna watch his latest vid to see what Mandrageproduction say about that, can’t wait to see his face slowly melt in panic 😂

That era has been long gone (republic gunship, imperial Star destroyer, etc etc)

I’d have to highly disagree with your statement as a dedicated Lego fan myself. I thought it was cool to have an exclusive Rex minifig in a large ultimate collection series set and perhaps they would release a different version of him in a smaller set at a later time. But nope, Lego didn’t do that, they released the exact same version of him even though they stated in their own writing that it is exclusive. I don’t mind a Rex fig in a cheap set, just not the exact same one as the UCS version when they said it would be exclusive, I won’t be thanking Lego for lying to its fans.

​@@spooky2bricks this is a toy and is meant to be played with. Children should not have to pay over 600€ to get a Rex Minifigure....

@@spooky2bricks you’re mad your rex doesn’t hold any value anymore lol

speak for yourself I wasn't upset about it and trust me I buy lego purely for the enjoyment otherwise I would have space for anything but lego in my apartment, but neither am I upset about the fact it's now freely available because imo all figures should be to this quality for any set and be easily available *cough* *cough* at-te cody arms that look a bit lame after this rex

​@@spooky2bricksYularen, the dude who gave the fire opening narrations of TCW remains exclusive, why the crying?

because exclusive figure with value of 80+dollars was part of the 700$ plastic. And Lego lied, once again, this is not how you treat your hardcore lego fans. They could’ve totally make a new version of Rex, no worse or less detailed, just different and everyone would stay happy. They have done that before many times, yet now they decided to screw with lego collectors for whatever reason. Like if it is upsetting Lego bosses that their fans and customers could possibly earn few bucks on minifigure in a future. They would spend those money on another lego anyway, it was perfect circle, everyone profiting. No one would be looser in such a situation, but nooooo, lego must punish those long term customers who spending thousands of dolalrs on their products. disgusting

@rawwad Punish! Sorry, but your anger is totally misguided towards lego. I have been collecting lego for almost 40 years, recently having slowed down due to the ludicrous prices lego is charging. That is where your anger should be, the prices, not the "exclusivity". Did the company lie, i don't think so as they never said the Rex character in the venetor set would never be used in another set moving forward. Just my opinion.

​@@rawwadThose hardcore fans are just a minority, nobody cares. Cap

@@theok391 if they wouldn't care they wouldn't be releasing 500+ dollars sets, those are aimed mainly towards the hardcore collectors

@@rawwad Guess what, i have that set, still dont care.

I am! And I haven't even watched the clone wars. He just looks like a cool captain figure to me for my blue clones lol

Admiral yularen venator microfighter

@@Atamatchstixyou’re right. So much better. 😂

tbf lego sets especially star wars go up in value each year more then gold

Then buy a fake capten rex off brand for 2 dollars it’s just plastic lol

But he wasn't unhappy that Rex is in a $10 set. He's unhappy that Lego went back on the exclusivity aspect. David literally shared that sentiment in this video

RIP MandR You Scummy Price Raiser. AMEN! THANK YOU LEGO!

​@@TA-zq3ezhe means that MandR Isn't the first one to make a review on this set even though he always wants to be first

@@BricksbyPat oh. Well, rip indeed then

but but but LEGO LIEDDDDDD TO ME!

thats so true lego sw fans complain about fucking everything

No one has said that, i think some context is needed. He used the pauldron as an example of things lego could have changed so it would be a different rex

Taken out of context, people DO want kamas and cloth pauldron, just not maybe arm printing to keep the other rex exklusive

No one has ever said cloth kamas and arm printing is bad, he said that they maybe shouldnt have had arm printing on this rex to keep the other exclusive

@@Azact Which also is dumb. Pauldron is iconic part of Rex. Also, we shouldn't let Lego be lazy and not include arm printing just to keep figure exclusive. You want exclusivity? Ask for DIFFERENT prints. Or for what I was hoping for, a Kama in 13 dollars set

He took that long to start?!

Personally I would have preferred a full-sized version with a similar design to the 2009 Y-Wing to a micro-fighter version.

I feel like Lego should just make a Y wing but then release multiple different colours of it

@@Thy_Musketoon I heard they've been doing that for other lego themes. That would be cool also for Slave 1

Yeah weird…..Rex is an exception to their cheap vs expensive version rule.

yea, lego has been wildly inconsistent with what they are telling us they want to do with UCS figures. I think what they should do going forward is have 2 versions, one more detailed, and the other less detailed. Kinda like hot toys, and black series.

@@thegreenbacon514that’s exactly what they’ve been doing pilot Luke, C3-po, tie pilot. All of which have a cheap and expensive version. For some odd reason they didn’t do it with Rex.

@@viperson9818 yea, but the Luke released as a key chain, and I know it’s not the same as a normal minifigure, but like why couldn’t they have released the normal Luke. Lego just need to stay strict with which version of figs they put out

@@thegreenbacon514no one would buy a normal luke with key chain lol, literally useless and worthless

@@james-tp5ui not rlly, the arms are normal minifig arms, I think it’s best for lego to leave the UCS figs to the UCS sets.

Nah, 90s had the best sets.

The Monkey Battle pack though

I hope they make Cody one next year to go with it!

@@HenritheHorse2000s were better imo

@@Atamatchstix Lego was great until 2003, the color change and then the downfall of overall plastic quality.

I bought the Venator, and I think that ordering it for Rex is plain stupidity. Knowing the popularity of Rex, it was obvious that at some point in time, a better version would be sold and easely accessible anyways. The only characters that will most likely not get a remake are the specific niche ones. Lego should not care about scalpers opinions to begin with. The venator is awesome and it's value will rise no matter what. I don't see lego releasing another Yularen anytime soon anyways, so some exclusivity still remains. I'm glad that others now get to enjoy the same figure that I own and love, even if they had to pay less for it than I had to.

I literally wouldn’t have cared if they took off the Kama printing and gave him an actual Kama for this set, I wouldn’t care if they took away the raised up helmet holes and gave him just one in the right side in the micro fighter I just want something to make the two different and exclusive like the instructions said. I can already smell the little kids with their new rex posting him saying they bought a venator

Maybe that was true when things like arm printing were more rare, so it made sense to put these “fancier” minifigs in the more expensive sets. Now we are getting closer to the point where they would either have to deliberately put lower quality figures in the cheaper sets or design *slightly* different variants of the same figure (ie maybe with a different face expression) just so “collectors” can feel better about themselves.

@@ilikemandalorians9861 i'm just joking. There was a stupid post on reddit wining about how horrible this is and i thought it would be funny to mock them by reposting it

@@silvercenturion4214 ohh I thought it was weird that someone posted the exact same comment somewhere else lol

Notice how he dosen't even hide the fact that he doesn't really even care what other people say about it. He sounds just like some upset Ebay seller here who's original plan was to wait long enough till he could sell his extra Rex minifigures that he get for very cheap at the time in an aftermarket place for the triple of their original price after the UCS Venator set retired.

@@aleksihalme6726 it just sounds weird to me personally, because every lego fan (even the ones that don't care as much about the figures) have all agreed that more arm and leg printing is better and telling LEGO to lose the arm printing and accessories for this small set is sending a bad message overall. We keep asking for more detailed figures, but some people hate that idea when it means they might lose out on their investments. Why can't we just put our selfish desires aside and just look out for the little guy every now and then (i.e. the cheaper consumers).

​@@productionsinparadise2880Yeah, I'm so glad this Microfighter is getting ready to hit all the different kinds of different aged Lego consumers all over the world and this set sure sends a strong message to all the resale scammers and minifigure holders out there who don't do it with love and passion in mind and hopefully these people realise by now what their own selfish behavior has caused and action truly speaks louder than words here and things are slowly starting to look better for the true Lego Star Wars Fans and Collectors, I can't wait to buy at least one for myself day 1!

@@aleksihalme6726 Even though the future looks bright for the next few years, I still feel like things might go back to the way they were previously because the LAN members and other members of the online community have incredibly "loud" voices and we might go into an endless cycle of lego sets being consumer friendly for a few years and then go back to another era of things being too exclusive for the average consumer (an endless cycle of people realizing how hypocritical they are and then relapsing back into their old ways again). Hopefully lego and the designers can balance out (limit) what advice they take from the fans (only listen to the consumer friendly advice). For example, UCS don't need exclusive figures, but rather just very relevant ones. I think Admiral Yularin would look cool in a venator microfighter because there has never been a ventator microfighter before.

​@@productionsinparadise2880​ You have very good points and I appreciate that. Admiral Yularen in an cheap Microfighter set at least makes sense at this time period and less people would be pissed off about him being in it but this Microfighter Venator set might not sell as well as Rex's one will but this just makes me wonder what could happen if they just simply stopped adding any "Exclusive" characters to their UCS style sets and or not have any Star Wars minifigures included in them at all because that's probably number 1 thing that comes to mind and minifigures get all the negative opinions from the most people in the community and if we delete that small part of it then the most of these people might find these UCS sets much more worth it for them to invest their money on in a long run and the rest of them could see these UCS sets in an much more open and different light than they ever could have seen otherwise because all the negativity blinds them from seeing what they could be really be seeing and that thing is a great set that was made for Collectors, adults and all the age groups alike and there could be so much less negative and angry customers complaining if these sets din't have minifigures since most of these people only care about their "exclusive characters" in these expensive sets and they can't let go of their otherwise greedy mindset without LEGO as an company chancing the whole concept of what makes their UCS sets so good in the first place.

They still complaining about the helmet holes? Dang…

In my opinion UCS sets should have gold figures like hp322. That way the UCS community gets something exclusive, but the rest of us don't miss out on anything canonical. But I assure you, they won't be happy. Like you said, it's about showing off and preventing others from having fun, not about passion.

I don’t even care about his resale value it’s just that I payed $650 not for rex but for a very nice build with rex on the side, I was also told the figure would be exclusive to the set. I wouldn’t have cared if they completely fixed every issue anyone had with the venator rex, I just hate being lied to especially since they have sets planned out for years obviously leaving spots for upcoming shows but they had to have known at the time they were making the venator that the same Rex would be in a micro fighter for $10

Hey, Be glad he ain't going for the price of a kidney now, Hahah!

It's just a copypasta lol. I think it was MandR saying that.

Ik

It was exclusive for a time 😂😂 just ain’t any more 😌

Why? Why shouldn’t it be the exact figure? Why shouldn’t people who can’t afford the USC Venator be able to buy the Rex figure for an affordable price?

@@EbagStudiosit’s not an issue unless it’s stated as exclusive minifigs

@@EbagStudios They can always release a different version (this does NOT mean worse) for a cheaper price. This would fix BOTH problems for both kinds of people and be perfect.

It was exclusive at the time. Lego is accurate.

Yeah, standard blue arms and then honestly they could have appeased both sides here. Not that I care much, because I hope it does hurt Venator sales. I want that fat 30% off that the Razor Crest got on Black Friday.

@@EchoBaseplates Already go it with that discount like 5 days ago. I suppose it just depends on luck from region to region / retail from retail

@@toromcjohnson4069 it was exclusive forever, thye lied and falsly advertised

@@toromcjohnson4069 then why don’t Lego dare to fit the exact boba fett from the cloud city into the mech? It’s not always “exclusive” anyway, that’s literally excuse of Lego being lazy

agreed. But I’m personally not complaining that it isn’t.

Why not. People complained a lot that Lego have put exclusive Minifigs in UCS sets a few years ago. Then they changed it and now the people complain again that there are no exclusive minifigs. Just don't expect exclusive Minifigs in UCS sets, even if it is written somewhere. ;)

@@bern71 the problem is that LEGO lied. As part of advertising the UCS Venator, Lego promised exclusivity to the figs. As David pointed out, Lego went back on their word. I'm all for Rex being in a cheap set, I don't think we should have to pay so much money for it, but keep the exclusivity; give the cheaper Rex solid white or blue arms Edit to fix spelling

@@danielbrown3355 where did lego lie though? I checked the shop and neither the box nor the website mentions anything about exclusivity. Plus we already know that lego does not hold exclusivity on UCS figures, (they did that with the clone captain which was thrown in a 12 € packs after the release of the gunship) they are not always exclusive, there is no ground rule about it to my knowledge. The only thing I consider exclusive is if a figure is too specific to be sold in an easy way, like Admiral Yularen, then lego will most likely not release it again anytime soon, making it exclusive since they modify stuff all the time.

@@vincentperon2950it says it in the instructions of the Venator 🥰

People like me who bought this aren’t mad because he won’t be worth as much, were mad because lego set a bar for themselves by saying they were exclusive and proceeded to completely fail, they could’ve avoided any controversy by just not including this part
