The Top 10 Most Overrated LEGO Star Wars Sets Ever Made 

The Hoth AT-ST is simple to mod into a 2-seat and is more accurate than the rogue one version

3:30 is incorrect. The 2019 Slave 1 is a bigger set than the 2006 model. The 2021 model is the smaller model.

The y-wing is accurate, as Anakin and Ahsoka both flew a Y-Wing in the malevolence arc

So many of these sets aren’t even overrated lmfao

You don’t like the Land Speeder but it’s not “overrated.” It’s barely rated. Didn’t get any hype. By definition that makes it not overrated. A set needs to have buzz to be overrated

I get your complaint with Anakin's Y Wing, but I don't think it deserves to be on this list since it is still an incredible build as you said. Your logic for having it be so overrated is similar to your logic with the UCS Gunship, where you say it's dragged down by bad minifigures, so why wasn't the Y Wing just an honorable mention as well? Plus, even though the minifigure selection is argubaly lacking i felt that the minifigures themselves weren't bad.

100% agree with your gripe on UCS sets being oversized instead of minifig scale. That drives me crazy. That is why I never care to buy any of the UCS sets. I loved the Hoth AT-ST.

Snow Trooper are readily available in the battle pack, so I much prefer having an exclusive Chewbacca covered in snow details rather than another generic Snow Trooper packed in with the Hoth AT-ST. It also gives more balance to the set as a standalone toy, since there are two mini-figurers representing the Rebels to oppose the more powerful Imperial Walker.

2:26 Babu Frik wouldn't make his first appearance until a year after the Porg was released.

I find it annoying that people keep going on about UCS and minifig scale even though its not the point of them, the point is to be highly detailed display pieces for collectors. Not many complaints about the star destroyer or the super star destroyer despite the fact that the bridge is obviously to small for a figure.

If the minifigs in a clone Wars based arent All clones, this guy just doesnt like it

0. Aaand problems right out the gate. Everybody complaining about the UCS gunship minifig selection isn't looking at it from the right perspective. For one thing, the minifigs are more of a garnish anyway since like the majority of UCS vehicles that aren't capital ships it's larger than minifig scale. For another, clones alone are a bit boring when trying to sell something that pricy to a larger audience. And for a third, LEGO specifically wanted to *not* screw people over by making anyone _completely_ exclusive to a UCS set, which is why we have a generic Clone Commander (which they're right that casual onlookers would have hard time telling wasn't actually a pilot, especially since they _still_ haven't made a proper Phase 1 pilot helmet) and a premium _variant_ of Mace Windu. ** Though that set does have an issue: Door turrets are finally double-jointed, but now can't tilt. 1. Whatever 2. "Don't get me wrong, they're all amazing display pieces" AND THAT'S THE POINT. That's what it's for. You wish LEGO would make more minifigure-scale UCS sets? Well, you're going to keep being disappointed because that's not what they're mainly for. The ones we've gotten are either playsets, larger craft like the Falcon and Slave I, or that joke from 2002. As for why the minifigures are included? As a garnish, to present the set and give people an extra goody for spending that much money. 3. Agree that the price was a tad licenseflated, and also getting Jango's instead would have been more useful. EDIT: Oh, but apparently you're wrong about it being smaller than the 2006 version. It's the 2018 and 2021 version that are smaller than the 2006 version. 4. I'm not surprised this got overhyped lol. People are still stupidly ga-ga over the Proud Warrior Guys that fans in the 80s formed out of their ocean drool over Boba Fett's armor. 5. LEGO seem to have a hard time making the panel-built heads of AT-STs have two seats. Or maybe they don't feel it's worth bothering since the seating doesn't line up with the eyes very well so you can't _see_ there's two. ** Know who I'd have included with this instead of Chewie? Either another Rebel trooper since Rebel troops are the rarest kind... or go Legends on it and throw in Dash Rendar. 6. The wonky proportions never bothered me since it's a play-scale capital ship. As for why Chancellor Palpatine is included? Well, they had to slip him in _somewhere_ in the line. Plus, the idea that every cruiser has an office to receive him in case he visits references an idea from Legends - where every Imperial Star Destroyer had a small throne room reserved for him. 7. Uhhh... not only is it _titled_ Anakin's Y-Wing Starfighter, it has the *colors* of Anakin's Y-wing starfighter. The others in the squad had the yellow and white mostly switched. I think rather than get clone pilots with this version, we should have gotten the non-leader version as its own set. 8. First, surprised to see this here since it's one of the minifigure-scale UCS sets you seem to be so in love with (even though they are not and never have been the main point of the series). Second, to include hallways in full the set would have had to be even bigger than it already is; that's one area where LEGO is at a disadvantage. Third, it really _doesn't_ lean more to the sequels, although I do agree that it should have included Lando because unlike Luke and R2 we aren't swimming in him. I think part of the problem is that the part of the original trilogy it leans into is the overrated middle movie. ** Here's a better complaint to make about it: *No smuggling compartment* even though multiple play-scale versions have had it. Even though it's important in both the original trilogy and the sequel trilogy. Even though for play purposes it can double as the maintenance pit from ESB. 9. I don't think the build is bad, it's a decent playset-style build, but I'll agree that it's overrated. 10. I don't even have to watch this part. I know from the "Worst sets 1999-2022" video that your entire opinion here is based on you *fundamentally misunderstanding* the Ultimate Collector Series. Every complaint you have stems from your failure to grasp that the UCS's main purpose is to be the LEGO equivalent of those expensive super high detail model kits where a third of the parts are detailing bits so tiny you have to pick them up with tweezers.

some of these i agree with a ton (cough cough cloud sh*tty) but i think your gripes with some of these sets are pretty petty. the whole idea that ucs is supposed to be only minifig scale is just flat out wrong imo, if a ucs set CAN be minifig scale and still be considered ucs, sure. but when people want ucs models of small starfighters, what are you gonna do? give them a damn playset and call it ucs? if you think it looks weird, thats fine, but saying its flat out bad is just wrong. another thing i think youre way too harsh on is the ucs millennium falcons lack of hallways. saying the falcon is the thrid most overrated set because theres no hallways is... weird? i dont think hallways are the thing to be worrying about tbh. i do see what you mean with the sequel figs thing, though. however i think this would have been an understandable placement considering the fact that the falcon was talked to DEATH back when it released, though that isnt to say its not for good reason- its a masterclass set with extreme amounts of detail and care put into it, and imo was only beaten just recently by the ucs at-at from an objective standpoint. i would probably say its just overtalked, not necessarily overrated. nonetheless, good video. i found your channel recently and ive been loving watching the videos- ive wanted to do vids like these for a while now and seeing someone make them fills me with joy. keep up the good vids!

I really really really wish people would stop bitching about how every clone wars sets doesn’t include 1000 highly accurate clone troopers

You should do a Top 10 most underrated sets. My number 1 would be the more recent Cloud City. That set is epic in my opinion and should have been available on the market for a bit longer.

I don’t think it’s possible to add hallways into the falcon because the interior doesn’t fit into the ship on the real prop.

You litterally put the UCS B wing in your most underrated sets. That’s an overly large UCS set as well. Your logic isn’t holding up given you out the UCS gunship on this list for being oversized…

I think the anniversary slave 1 is fair priced. Let me explain, it comes woth amazing exclusive minifigs + it has 1000+ pieces, and the ship has incredible design.

It's a shame how lego collectors have become so ridiculously focused on minifigures.

Your opinions are the same as Ryans from MandR. Thats not controversial.

My gripe with the at-st is that lego has all these ratcheted joints and very stable hinges, and they just dont use them in vehicle thats main focus is the legs

Been watching your channel for awhile and it's great. Just subscribed

Broo you don't have hot takes you have bad opinions 😅

I really like having Chancellor Palpatine in the Venator. What other Clone Wars set would have the figure?

We need a Y-Wing remake that's blue with Ahsoka, Rex, and either a clone pilot or Jesse

Great top 10 , nice review :)

i have slave 1 20th anniversary edition and I really like it. I think zuckus and 4 lom are great figures for collection because now I have all of the bounty hunters from episode 5. the slave 1 build is also fantastic.

Don’t hate on the porgs. They are super cute!

Interesting that you put the UCS Landspeeder at #1. I just got back into lego last summer and from my understanding it is widely regarded a joke set and I see it often on deep discount.

Some I think in no particular order: -Brickheadz (as a whole) -2013 Jabba’s Sail Barge -2013 ATTE -Sandspeeder -Any AAT besides OG and 2008 -Mandalorian naboo fighter thing

I actually got the hoth at-st for 20 bucks at my local Macy's lol

I need that At-st for my Hoth MOC tho

I know you probably have seen this comment already but the 2016 falcon has hallways

We REALLY REALLY need a UCS Venator

The Y-Wing is based on the malevolence arc where Anakin R2 and Ahsoka are in a y-wing 🗿

‘The Death Star is better than the Millennium Falcon’ -Someone who has both

2:53 Exactly, there are alot of sets that already are minifigure scale and are playsets but for some reason they get turned into oversized ucs sets

Oversized UCS sets are fine if its a ship or veichle that deserves it, the landspeeder should have never been a UCS

I agree with you that the idea of making a UCS from the luke's landspeeder is really weard. But i completly disagree with you about the set. I got one and i find really a great set and a beautifull display set. It is build really well.

everybody knows the venator is garbage, we love it because its a venator tho

Yeah imo the Falcon is not the best SW set

I think the worst is the lego star destroyer 75252. There are so many colors you can see. Its horrobil

I like hte ucs snow speeder but it should be gray not white

I agree with half of these, but the UCS gripe I thing is… ridiculous. In the whole of Star Wars, larger ships and vehicles are a rare commodity. To make that worse, the minifig size seriously limits the amount of detail available for the set. In my opinion UCS should only be non minifig scale, with playscale being the sets for minifig scale. The whole point is a adult build with great detail for display, hence the plaques. My gripe with UCS is im tired of repeat “improved” sets with so many ships and vehicles having never been made in any scale, or only made in micro (looking at you, Acclamator). How many detailed X wings and Falcons do we need? I love the ships, but it isn’t something we don’t see on shelves in some form or another every single year.

Sorry but I don’t think the gunship is overrated given all the backlash it got because of minifigures witch is not what I’m looking for.

Bro I legit disagree with most of his opinions but I respect the hell out of him. This is a very subjective list and I appreciate his honesty

Complaining about overscaled UCS sets is beyond stupid. THATS THE WHOLE POINT. The point is to make larger, more detailed collector models of iconic ships from the franchise. They’re not going to not give an iconic ship the UCS treatment just because the play scale version is already minifigure scale. Such a weird and frankly cringe gripe

HE👏🏽DON’T👏🏽MISS👏🏽

So who cares if the falcon has more sequel content. It came out during the peak of the sequels. Also how is the Landspeeder overrated? I never heard anyone say they love it therefore calling it overrated makes no sense. It would be better off on a worst set list,

This is a good list, however you get a dislike for the trash opinion on porgs Porgs are amazing and you are wrong

Why are you focused on minifigs more than the actual models. For half of these you were just like ermmm the minifigs arent good actually🤓 set ruined

People aren’t ready to hear this but the UCS Imperial Shuttle should be way up on this list. It’s many people’s “holy grail” yet it has an inaccurate nose, no interior apart from the cockpit and cost around $1500 nowadays… If anything is overrated, it’s that. I’m not saying it’s not cool. But it is overrated.

These ain't sets but those polybags are overrated. We buy .ego if you keep it in some bag. If I had that, I'd open it idc

Yap

I think the helmet sets are pretty overrated because they aren't the size of a wearable helmet, but nearly cost as much as one when compared to black series helmets, so why not get the accurate wearable one..

Love your content but you’re very hypocritical. In a hot takes video you you said people overreact when there are bad minifigs in a set and then put the y wing one this list only because of the figs, when everything else is perfect

I'd have preffred an Acclamator over the Venator.

9:03 disney probably paid them for it to be more sequel targeted so that their trash trilogy gets more credit

Old UCS Falcon is better. I have both and old UCS Star Destroyer.

I agree so much dude ucs should strive to be minifig scale and accurate the only exception is like huge ships like the venator and star destroyer.

Wtf you mean you don't like porgs their the cutest things ever the secuals are not the best dough
