LEGO Star Wars UCS IMPERIAL STAR DESTROYER Comparison! (10030 vs 75252 | 2002 vs 2019) 

Honestly in love with the 2019 model! What do y'all think?

This is getting out of hand! Now there are two of them!

“With the star destroyers there’s no swoosh ability”

Now find a shield gate and crash them into each other.

Most important thing I learned form this vid 12 lbs ≠ 1 ton

Why not both? $1,130+ Oh! Fair enough

Am I the only one who thinks the best difference is the colour?

The 2019 one is obviously better for display, but the old one was better for price.

Just finished building the 2019 one less than an hour ago and I must say it’s one of the best Lego Star Wars sets I’ve built in my life, if not the actual best. What an absolute beauty.

I'm suprised there was no mini Falcon to attach to the back of the star destroyer like it did in TESB.

I think you should split design into two categories: looks and stability

I want a venator class ship like this.

One thing I'm always concerned about with my Lego sets is their swooshability.

I spent a chunk of my weekend rebuilding the 2002 set that my brother had kepts in a box in his garage. It was a good time. While the new one does look great and is an improvement in many ways, I would like to point out that it's also made almost two decades later. For it's time the 2002 set was amazing, and still looks pretty damn good.

“Swooshability” needs to be a new category for airplanes and flying ships

Respect for Cory just sitting quietly in the background. He’s very polite

I would’ve given Playability to the 2019 one instead of it being a draw, since not only do you get minifigures but you can also dock the Tantive IV underneath, not to mention also having a mini Tie Fighter, whereas the 2002 one only has a blank space with nothing going on. It’s not much, but I think it’s a large enough advantage to give the nod to 2019.

M&R: *talking about 2 deadly ships that can kill anything in seconds..* Cory: *building a gingerbread house*

Girls: Boys never truly love something Boys: Hold my Star Destroyers

WAIT! ON THE COMMAND BRIDGE THE RADAR CAN MOVE, SO WOULD THAT MEAN THAT THE 2019 HAS MORE PLIABILITY?!?!

"its $700 and a lot of people have something to say abut that but it DOES come with two mini figures and a display plaque." oh why didnt you say so before? 2 mini figures and a DISPLAY plaque?! so worth it. that thing should honestly be something like 200-400. it doesnt even come with a bunch of stormtroopers of darth vader or the emperor

Do you guys see me in the background

Hmm a good video you have done, young one. Strong with the force you are

was trying to see a good view of the Gap on a finished one (I am building mine now), so thank you SO much for taking time to review that part.

A Super Star Destroyer at the same scale would be a little more than 33 feet long.

I love how much Lego sets have really improved over the years

17:15 one handed person has left the chat

Honestly the color on the newer model just looks a lot better than the older model.

Star destroyers are some of the COOLEST spaceships in all of fiction, you cannot change my mind

I think the communication thing with the hinge helps you make either an ISD 1 or 2. The first one has that raised communication thing, while ISD 2 has a flat bar. I don’t think that they can really swivel in Star Wars but I think it just helps you make a 1 or 2

They had so much potential for cool interiors in these! Imagine how cool that would be, it’d be the biggest Lego Star Wars interior and you could have soooo much playability

Just bought my own 2019 UCS IISD this weekend. What a blast it is to build! Absolutely magnificent.

it’s actually extremely simple to take of the other big sections next to the bridge on the 2019. you don’t have to mess with technic at all the just slide in very easy. i was confused why he kept saying it would be hard to do. they are easy to take off, making the model easy to pick up, at its center of gravity.

The ships are like me, grey on the outside but colorful and hollow on the inside xD

I did not realize the secondary engines were identical in shape (parts) between both sets. I really like how LEGO tried to emulate the actual movie set model in size and function with the 2019 set.

I found a complete disassembled 10030 at a yard sale last summer for $15 lol. No box, they had all the parts stuffed in big zip lock bags. Best find of the year.

2019 star destroyer: I have the high ground!

Something to note: 2002 is an Imperial II-class, while 2019 is an Imperial I-class.

The small pod that hyperspeed-rammed both of those ships down the middle sure was powerful.

I just got the 2019 destroyer last week. Loved the entire build process and it looks so menacing in my room. In terms of carrying, I actually found that removing the entire bridge area (not the bridge itself but all the stuff under it, and then lifting with two hands from the middle white section of the inner skeleton was the best way for me to move it. I wouldn't hold it from the bottom. Great review of both! Next on my list is to rebuild the original 2006 Star Destroyer. And then the Death Star!

Thanos=Inevitable Gap=Inevitable The gap is secretly Thanos.

Take a drink every time he says “toss up” You will not make it to the end.

Seeing your sets in the background makes me so jealous. I only have one bedroom to keep my entire collection in, and every time I get a new big ship I have to rearrange the entire room around it. Because of this, and obviously money too, I've missed out on so many amazing UCS sets. I do have a 2019 Star Destroyer on its way here, but I'll likely have no room left at all once I display it.

Imagine being that kid , seeing all that Lego around you… it’d make you go into a frenzy.

playability should go to the 2019 model because you can recreate the scene of the tantive IV being docked where its is literally a gaping hole there on the 2002 model. You also have much more (and more stable) movement of the side cannons on the newer one as opposed to the old one. I always love watching your content and cant wait for the full millennium falcon comparison!

Something tells me this is gonna have over a million views one day

Aww I miss going on my mom's phone and binge watching Lego animations for hours in my room. The good days...

Very comprehensive video, I loved it!

"no swooshabillity" - MandRproductions 2019

Do a comparison video between the 2006 Star Destroyer and the 2014 Star Destroyer

"Swooshability" 10/10 commentary

I was waiting for this video!

"there is no swooshability"

I wish lego sets weren't so expensive otherwise i would have everything and be more tempted to buy them

Best comparison I've seen so far!

Im about to order the new one and this video is exactly for what i was looking for (so many details explained) thx man

You could have both and just refer to the 2002 version as a different ship in the fleet. And I think the 2019 tantive v looks more accurate.

Darth Vader definitely should have been in the set. It is HIS Star Destroyer.

Your videos are fantastic, keep up the great work

Nostalgia overload, thank you for comparing the two side by side. I thought they were the same but now see they’re very different. I was 11 when my crazy dad bought the 2002 version during 2006. Finally finished after like 3 days. Tried to move it and it just exploded. Ended up super gluing it back together.. what a mess. The Star Destroyer II was a lot better design wise.

Good observation. 12 lbs isn't a ton. 2000 lbs is.

Am i the only one who likes imperial officers Just asking

I love the Star Wars music in the background.

"Star destroyers are big gray triangles," Ryan, I could not agree more.

You should say 'In the design category, the force is strong with this one.'

I like the 2019 version more overall but I prefer the smaller details of the 2002 model (like the asteroid pieces for shield domes, the tires for the engines, etc). The reason why I like that more is because it's obviously made of LEGO bricks no matter what you do, but the 2002 version really feels like a LEGO star destroyer because of those odd parts being thrown in and used for things they obviously weren't originally meant for. It find new ways to use old parts and I really like that aesthetic, that's how LEGO should be imo. Or maybe I'm the weird one. I haven't really been "into" LEGO for 15 years now, but back when I played with them the list of bricks was pretty small. They added new pieces here and there, of course, but for the most part new pieces only came out if they really didn't have anything that could be repurposed. And I think that was the real fun of LEGO, not just building the sets but getting new sets and being all "Oh, I never thought of using X piece as a Y instead!" and then taking it apart, adding it to my already existing collection and coming up with something completely new. The aesthetic of the 2002 star destroyer really appeals to that sense of creativity and imagination. I feel like the 2019 one, on the other hand, appeals more to the second type of LEGO enthusiast: The kind who builds a set and then just... displays it. They put it together and that's that, as if it were a model that wasn't meant to ever come apart again. Which is a fine hobby to have, but I feel like that really misses the point of LEGO. The 2019 star destroyer looks more accurate, and at the same time I feel like that makes it look more boring. I do have to give the 2019 version credit for using the door pieces in the "communications radar" though, that's pretty neat.

Excellent video. I have reasonable share of the parts needed for the 10030 since some time ago and I really want a Star Destroyer, but this video made me think twice about the old one and I will most likely go for the new one.

I like how the full size tantiff vi is in the background

I don't know how you can do a value comparison. It's completely unrealistic that you can purchase a 2002 edition at $300 or whatever it cost. Lego prices are ridiculous for vintage sets. I admire your disposable income.

17:34 The Gap: I am inevitable... On a side note, look at sooo many star destroyer MOCs to realise that you can hide the gap. But I get it would add pieces and raise the price (as if it wasn't high enough), but I reckon they could have tried. At least that would start making the £650 look more tolerable...

The 2002 sheild generators are misaligned!! 😂😂 I just watched your vlog and had to come see for myself lol

I have looked at it for a long time and I wanted to buy 1 last Lego set before I’ll stop buying it for me, 1 last time to be a child again. You were the last straw, and I will buy it tomorrow. Thank you!

I am getting the 2019 version for my graduation present.

We want a droid control ship set!

I love your videos keep up the great work👍🏻👍🏻

I love these videos they are the best good work man

The 2002 Tantive looks like the one from the Original Trilogy Videogame so it automatically wins

I feel like some people got mad that he said Star Destroyers were triangles.

A fine addition to my collection

MandR: "It's just kinda stuck in there" Me: "Thats what she said"

I love the new model! It's a shame its bigger than my appartment tho...

The lack of color hurts my eyes

On the newer version, at 18:36, that small bay is actually an Officers docking bay. It's ment for officers, VIPs and the dark lord himself. Fun fact...

Drinking game: Take a sip every time he says Tantive 4

wish it had mini hammerhead corvette.

Imagine how they would look if they remake these ucs sets in 10-15 years from now.

I never realized this until this video but swooshability is probably my number one metric for a lego set

In my opinion both sets are very similar but the new set is just so much stronger and has way more detail. Great video 😀👍

Bruh, if they didn't include the 2 minifigures the set would retail for just 100 dollars

At first glance It honestly looks like someone split the destroyer in half

Loved the Corey cameo!!!

i can't get enough of those new engines

I cant wait *(STAR WARS THE RISE OF SKYWALKER SPOILERS)* ok, last warning. the star destroyer with the planet destroyer at the bottom

I love the newer version but I don’t have that kind of money and there’s no way my parents are letting me get that

Fun fact, according to the rogue squadron games, that dome on the bottom behind the hangar bay is the third shield generator. 😁👍

Its awesome that LEGO was able to make such a good looking set on 2002 if we compare it to sets from that time. There is no much differences in star destroyer. For example Jabba palace changed entirely

One word: magnets. The new version wins based on that along, imo.

I just can’t justify dropping that much money on that but good video

The gap is iconic

The star destroyer is an imperial 1 class, however, like the actual devastator( which participated at the battle of endor) the top can be flipped as mentioned in the video so it becomes an imperial 2 class, just like the devastator when it was converted
