Is there any way I can buy that custom Old Rex?

Ye planning on getting it soon of bricklink lego doesn't deliver where I am from and they don't have stores only licensed one and god they are expensive the at te is for 280 bucks and everything is significantly more expensive they do sales sometimes but the most is 20 percent so I still overpay

Indeed

It’s good, but the helmet holes are in the wrong place, and the printed kama

Hell yeah brother 👊

Of which it indeed was lol. He'd have been dead before the Ahsoka show, especially due to the fact that he ages twice as fast as a regular human, duh.

@@Vandicoup Well, he was retconned to be at the Battle of Endor.

2013 better

Nah, you're good. Just sharing opinions and making your own critiques. Fair and valid all around! :)

⁠great responses from both of you

How so, exactly? And don't get me wrong here, I absolutely love the way the current P2 Rex looks as well, and maybe even prefer it to the old P2 Rex, but still though. How has it aged like milk, exactly if I may inquire? Because I just don't see it aside from the painfully obvious lack of a range finder that just makes a Captain Rex...a CAPTAIN REX! lol. Never felt right to me to ever see a Rex minifig WITHOUT a range finder attached. His look just isn't complete without one, y'know? It's become apart of his overall look and feel through the years. But almost everything else, I thought, was pretty much nailed to a T. Yes, sure, the arms could've indeed used some arm printing and not just a straight, bland blue all around and the mouth piece COULD be a bit bigger but other than that, it's really not that bad of a figure. The mouth piece is honestly pretty accurate as that's how his mouth piece always looked like in the show, in a way. It was generally more smaller and narrower than most other P2 clone's mouth pieces, you can tell especially from Umbara scenes on Google Images. Overall, it's a solid minifig in it's own right even to this day, it's good. But I might agree that the newest P2 Rex is better, and great, for sure.

I think the reason why people think it has aged like milk is because it is largely inaccurate because there are tally marks on his torso and legs which is not accurate at all, and like you mentioned it has no range finder and finally it is strangely dirty next to his molded marks which is just weird.

@@Borowicz50 I appreciate the informative reply, thank you! I do see that point about the tallies, but I gotta disagree with the dirtiness. I think the dirt all across his armor, especially around the torso, is not only accurate (you can tell there's a LOT of burn marks, ash, and some yellowish residue allll over after close observation of various general P2 Rex pics also on Google), but it's also really neat looking, for me at least haha. I know there's this whole debate about this, but I like my clones dirty just as much as I like them shiny and clean! ;) I guess it depends on the clone for me though, really. For Rex, he looks fitting all dirtied up. His P2 version, at least. Shows he's progressed and gained experience thru the war, much like other surviving clones around his age.

I realized that the ARC Trooper helmet they used for the battle pack is pretty much a Phase 2 helmet with accessory holes in the right place, I doubt they have the mold still around considering they used it in just that one set to my knowledge, but if they did all they would have to do is round off the fin and it would be perfect

That's what I've been saying from the start, all they had to do was make a new visor mold, and the drama surrounding clones would've been completely avoided.

YES TO MAINTAINING PHYSICAL KAMAS!!

I also love the new one I gotta say the 2013 one was good but this one look great as well

AMEN. Right?! People are tripping with the old P2 Rex. It still looks gorgeous to this day sitting atop my dresser rn, even with all the dust it's collected. Just a couple wipes, as always, and it looks perfect and brand new again! I love that they maintained the kama and pauldron for the 2013 P2! Big mistake not adding in any kama whatsoever to the new current P2!! Printed kamas will forever SUCK and they're the ones that TRULY age like MILK. >;(

People only like the old Rex because of nostalgia and the fact that it's trendy to hate on modern Lego Star Wars.

@@CloneCommanderCrater1102 No, it's more for nostalgia for me. It's a genuinely good fig and still to this day. And there's genuine problems and inaccuracies with certain modern Lego Star Wars figs, you can't deny that. The Fox especially is a gross misrepresentation of the character. How do you screw him up so badly? Lego is a multibillion dollar mega corporation which stands by their own words: Only the best is good enough! Ok, so then why not make these the best then?? These aren't even complicated and over the top critiques we are making here. Just make them accurate to the shows they are directly based on for crying out loud lol. Don't make his chest plate some type of weird pink, put the white on the RIGHT side of his armor, better printing, etc, etc. Not hard at all. They've done it before, they can do it again.

@@CloneCommanderCrater1102 Making critiques are just as important as giving praise. We need to let them know what they did right and what they need to improve on. There's no hate trend here. It's called constructive criticism and a right to voice feedback as long term, loyal paying customers and fans to such a globally beloved brand and company making the things we love and hold so near and dear to our hearts and minds since childhood. We only want the best for it. The absolute best.

@Vandicoup Lego didn't print pink on Fox. They printed white, which, because it was printed on red, looks more pink. I agree that Fox has inaccuracies, but this stupid "pink printing" problem is NOT a new problem and has always been the case when Lego prints white on a darker color (go look at the bomb squad trooper from 2011 for example).

Mines coming Wednesday:)

I couldn't disagree more on the 2013 Rex, but I do love and even prefer the current P2 Rex for sure. I always thought the detailing on the 2013 Rex was so well done and nearly spot on. Just wished for arm printing, a slightly bigger mouth piece and a gosh darn RANGE FINDER! Just doesn't feel like a Rex without one, you get it haha

I know, right? I agree with most of what Mayday says, but calling J's "hot garbage" is ridiculous.

He also ordered off of Amazon. He ones that J’s little things has an Amazon will typically have one exclusive figure and fill the rest with other Chinese knockoff brands. He probably would have had a better experience buying from his actual site.

Thank you. Great compliment 👍

Sounds amazing. You should share pics when it's all done! Curious to see the final product!! :D

I’d get it from GCC because of the material of the Kama, but you would also get it from capes4minis or cape cantina

Newest one is def a huge improvement, but I still prefer the torso and the physical kama. Those were always fire and very accurate to TCW while the newest one's torso is a mix of movie realistic + TCW and it's alright but they need to be more consistent is all. Make an animated Rex and a realistic Rex if that's the case. No need to mix the two together lol. Star Wars themselves don't. Just look at how different Rex looks in Ahsoka vs. animation!

you can’t make real money selling bits of cut fabric for $2 a piece

@@Vandicoup I just think the old Captain Rex isn't that great as people make him out to be. You may be right on the mouth piece, but I still think the visor is too large and bulky and not as sleek (it's kind of hard to describe for me). The print is cleaner overall on the new one and I don't mind the helmet holes or the rather large weapon pouch. The only bad thing about the new one is the missing cloth around the waist obviously. Again, the old fig isn't bad, it's just that the new one just looks better with an added waistcape, the rangefinder and the sleeker visor imo

@@felixh9363 Appreciate the equally as civil and informative response, thank you! It'd be near perfect with the added kama for sure. And I think it'd be absolute perfection if the pauldron was shortened too. It's more accurate + shows off the first ever, newly-printed arms for Rex that much more rather than covering up all that goodness. Kind of defeats the purpose and ruins those gorgeous printed arms Rex gets. And yea, I can see your point about the visors now too. I just saw a side-by-side comparison from a recent MandR short, newest one looks more cleaner by far. I guess it's because it's more squared-off than rounded on the 2013 one, which is why it looks better and more accurate and really does sell this whole Rex look waay more than prior. Here's the short where I saw it: kzfaq.infoZWn1tUVpBc0

@@Vandicoup cheers man, same here. Kind of rare to have a respectful discussion in Lego communities (especially Star Wars) nowadays, it's always nice to keep things civil. And now that I think about it, it'd really be nice if we had gotten a smaller pauldron, but I guess Lego stopped producing the smaller Stormtrooper type pauldron some time ago which is why they're sticking with the big pauldron size. I actually forgot Lego had this smaller one in production for the artillery Stormtrooper. Those arms really are too nice to be covered up just like that. Still better than no pauldron at all, tho a cloth kama should've been a must, but I guess printed waist capes are the future from now on (sadly)

Except for the tally marks on his arms, yes, they would work for P1 Rex.

just poking fun about knockoffs 🙇‍♂️

@@oatmiser3110 you know what, I just looked at their site for like 10 mins. There’s some decent molds in here I can’t lie. Sucks you gotta buy the whole set tho. Parts stink besides that.

​@maydayfigs Nah, J's Little Things is great. I've been buying from them for years and, while the parts are knockoff, they aren't terrible quality like some knockoffs, and most of the printing is really good.
