I think the “filler” part of the diorama does add value to the set in the sense that it completes the scene and makes it just that bit more lively. However, these sets are grossly overpriced because Lego knows that people are going to buy them anyways.

The combined version looks so much better. It actually feels like a complete scene. The fallen tree adds character to the scene, which is missing in the official set.

Damn you Josh, i am really not a fan of the star wars dioramas in general, and the new endor sets didnt speak to me either. BUT seeing your moc here with the two combined looks really great and now i am considering doing the same. Fortunately here in Germany some Retailers have it already down from 80€ to about 60€, which is better for that price per piece ratio and also my wallet.

I love the idea of sets having more dressing for better display. Just reduce the prices by $10 and a lot more people would be happy.

Now ive got to buy 2 sets thanks Josh from over the pond.

Wow, this set is just a glorified flower box with two cool speeder bikes thrown in the middle, like there's not even a proper backdrop there to make the scene feel more like an actual forest, just two blocky trees out in the open and some shrubs on the ground

Me: “wow, Josh is on fire in this video” ***cut to wide shot*** Me: “wow, Josh needs to set those crocs on fire in this video”

My favorite part of the dioramas is expanding them. I have only bought the trench run and dagobah sets but I expanded both and truly enjoyed making them bigger, more detailed, and more movie/scene accurate. I have also only ever bought them on sale, I got dagobah for $58. Will follow the same path for the remaining diorama sets, when they hit 25-30% off I'll grab it and then have fun building and expanding it. Trash compactor is the only one I don't see expanding. Throne room I want to add in the walkways, expand the command modules, and add in royal guards.

Missed pun: “I’m sick-of-more trees.”

I love trees and ferns

I like the scene overall. It definitely is overpriced. But damn that double Endor looks so cool!

Man you unintentionally turned a boring set into a great one. Love Mega Endor well done buddy 👏

that black box raises the price of all these dioramas by like 20 dollars. every comparable non-SW set elsewhere is 20 dollars less than the SW diorama. I am also not a fan at all of the diorama prices so take that as you will.

Is there any instructions for this?

Imagine watching a Star Wars movie with people on speeder bikes traveling through an empty white construct.

Can you do a tutorial to make Mega Endor please?

I agree, it’s crazily priced. Fortunately I had a lot of VIP points also I- like you- bought two of these sets and hence qualified for all the SW day GWPs. So after the points and selling the GWPs I basically got two endor speeder chase sets for the price of one. All just so I could make the set how LEGO should have made it in the first place. Including Ewoks would’ve been silly but at the very least they should have included 2 Scout Troopers and their speeder bikes NOT one scout trooper. I mean in the film the Scout Troopers operate in pairs, first Luke and Leia are chasing 2 and then 2 more troopers join the fray. Hell even the quote tile would make more sense having TWO scout troopers, it say jam THEIR com signal after all not jam his- plural not singular. And if you’re gonna add an extra trooper and bike the base needs to be bigger. I ended up not needing any more pieces and had a load leftover but in my version of the set I have Luke and Leia on one bike chasing two scout troopers on their bikes and had a lot more scenery including a downed tree trunk in the path of the chasers and the chased (something you see in the film). 07:25 Well you could’ve gotten the Scout Trooper from the 4+ ATST set, but that’s still 30 bucks! Although here in the U.K. I’ve found that set on discount recently for a third the RRP. So I bought four of them, sold the wicket and imperial officer minifigures and kept the troopers and the rest of the pieces and actually made a profit! 08:46 think they’re supposed to be redwoods, as the scene was shot in the California Redwood forest, same place George’s mate Steven shot ET! 09:26 HOLY SHIT! That’s literally what I did! Or very similar at least!

“Jam their bank accounts, filler switch!”

Hi just bought this and the throne room diorama on heavy discount in uk (£41.99 Endor and £55.99 throne room) to pick both up for this cheap felt great, I feel my patience paid off😂 however now tempted to buy a second after seeing the moc you made, having both scout troopers looks great

Last time I bought the trench run and liked it - but it was discounted at retail fairly quickly. This year I was going to hold off for discount but bought day one for the GWP.

Luv it once again Josh, keep it coming mate 😁👍🏼

Oh man how much has the quality of the video (every aspect of it) improved since I last saw you! And yet, you haven't lost any of the character. About the set, I pretty much agree with some of your points. Buuut I'm one of those who like terrain, I always liked dioramas in general and that's why I like these Lego dioramas... but I have none, because they're way too overpriced. The only exception being the Tallneck set, that one is so cool that it made me buy the game to justify getting it.

Good job with the Mega Endor 👍🏼🤩

You just need to add more green rebel trooper on that

This deserves to be the most popular Lego channel by far, well not that far from Papa Lego.. but yeah

If this were 80$ I would buy it.

I will buy 10 of them, thank you!

I totally agree that the Indiana Jones sets are better value for money. The one you showed in this video is really worth its price. But even that can be improved by expansion and by the same logic as your Mega Endor (only much cheaper, as the base set is already cheaper). Case in point : I bought two "Escape from the Tomb" sets (Indiana Jones) and did build a more complete tomb (with 4 Anubis statues, a bigger mummy mausoleum, two walls and a four-post Ark canopy... It looks definitely better!

Josh I had the same idea. I have 3 sets waiting to be combined, and maybe I'll add the missing Ewoks to!

I think a big problem is Star Wars fans. They lap this stuff up straight away and that shows Lego that they can rip them off and they'll take it. If they were to wait for sales or just not buy them, Lego would get the message. But that won't happen with Star Wars

7:12 there are other options for getting the figures though (as the luke is coming out in a childrens book), but everyone seems to be upset that it means they arent exclusive anymore. Id much prefer that all minifigures became more easily available (like the 212th troopers in the magazine) and they weren't all locked behind a massive price point

I haven't bought a single one of these. I can't justify the prices. Yeah they look cool, just not cool enough. And I'm a Star Wars LEGO person. Whataya gonna do?

hahahaha I thought you were saying “indoor” set and I was like yeah, who would display this outdoors? Then like 2/3 of the way through the video I realized you’ve been saying “Endor” the entire time… that makes SO much more sense! hahaha

I've been thinking that, if I were to by this diorama (when it goes on sale) I would add a Wicket minifig, and add a fallen tree. Now that I've seen yours I realize that would probably only clutter up this already too small set. Yours looks great. This set should have been about 1-2 inches wider, included an Ewok and the fallen tree to equal it's cost.

Really concidering getting Two of these sets to combine it like you did😅🤔

love the videos Josh! You do an amazing job, keep it up! the new LEGO room looks great. I also love all the jokes you put into your videos.

No filler in this video. 100% content :)

9:19 Thanks a lot, Josh. Now, I have to buy 2 of them, lol. That’s awesome 👏

Two dioramas look great. I'm going to buy this set when it goes on sale.

Really want to see some Endor related battle packs similar to the Hoth ones.

I just want the trees and foliage pieces....don't know what to do with the minifigs and speeder bikes...throw them away??

You're argument is that you wanted a battle pack and got a display piece

I am probably only AFOL who love this set as it is.

As is it's at least $30 over priced. For $80 it needs an additional Scout Trooper with Speederbike and a bigger display base. Also better Luke and Leia MiniFigures. I would have had the downed tree that Leia meet Wiket on the back side so you can display it from multiple directions.

This and the trench run are good bases for beginner mods. Give me a hoth diorama please

I like trees. Actually my first official individual parts order was trees. Before that I bought parts from humans. Humans with pieces.

Great vid, I agree but I also like them. I really like the mega Endor. Diorama dilemma drama I guess..

Promo mats show adults in mansions or large lofts, here is your target. Dont buy this and they will stop making it.

Counterpoint: I actually saw Josh Build Stuff this episode.

Great content, great humor, great script (or off the cuff), great channel.... Great set? Not so much. But, I still bought it.

4:06 thank you

Ooooo, I have one very expensive Ewok from that 4+ set I can add to this! Yes!

Literally laughed out loud several times, you have a great sense of humor. And some very valid points.

Time for a UCS speederbike set. I'm not fond of the dioramas.

I agree 100%. I personally will not be getting it. Your version looks better 😂

But looks cool tho , i want to do that 😊

almost had me with the mega mega endor lol. good video and you make very valid points. best of which is how to explain to the wife how that set cost 80 bucks

8:20 Your argument is weak, old man.... But I like your puns

Honestly, I don't buy the 18+ sets. I can get proper vehicle sets for these prices. What if I want one or two of those minifigs? Well, then I still won't buy them.

you're right on the spot.

Yes your mega endor looks great especially the downed tree just like in the movie

Next time wait for a Sale, i like the Idear of mega Endor

The extra parts are the very reason I love the Dioramas. With Yoda's hut for example, earlier versions would just be the hut and a small bush or branch to "represent" the swamp. With the Diorama version, there is a real swamp, no cut corners. I wouldn't care for a set with two bikes and a small bush to represent a tree. Now they are exactly the way I would build a MOC and that's why I love them.

Criminally undersubbed! Love Mega Endor. Needs a tree-peeking Ewok.

This diorama does indeed feel like a ton of extra cost for stuff you don’t even want, but I don’t feel that way for all dioramas. Yoda’s house on Dagobah and the new Emperor’s Throne Room are excellent, I love every bit of them.

I'm with you Josh, I love the content but I'm not so keen on the filler. Your Mega-Endor looks great... and to be honest looks more like what an $80 set should be!

nah thats a $30 minimum two speeders adn three figs these days

Really like the look of this set. Really hate the price of this set. Really enjoyed the video😊

Thank God someone finally said it! Agree with you 100%

Your mega Endor set is how it should have been in the first place😮

The existence of this set is the literal epitome of not seeing the forest for the trees so I don't think you're out on a limb on this one. At that price, this set leaves a lot to be desired. I don't think someone's a sap for buying it of course but I think there's a good chance that someone is a Star Wars nut if they do. Personally, I think LEGO is barking up the wrong tree if they think this is a fair price. You can always hedge your bets and wait for a sale if you truly are pining for one. However, if you miss it, you will just have fallen for LEGO's FOMOsynthesis.

We want to see mega mega Endor. 😉

There’s no where near enough room in the diorama for 6 - 8 Ewoks.

I hated this set until I saw Mega Endor

Damn you!!! Mega-Endor is cool!

Damn you, Josh! Now I'm gt spend $160, I need a mega Endor diorama. It's beautiful! That's how Lego should have done it.. The best review hands down 👏

I like the set. Yes, it’s overpriced; but most sets are overpriced, particularly Star Wars. I certainly wouldn’t have bought the bikes by themselves. I bought it to break up the monotony of grey in my Star Wars Lego display. The contrast of colours seemed appealing. Simple, yet dynamic. I’m not really into minifigures. I enjoy the build and how something presents. I think the throne room is more overpriced. Take away the mini figures, and it’s just a dull piece of grey plastic.

Great idea combining the 2 dioramas. Definitely overpriced. Just waiting for them to go on sale- $60 would be more reasonable

I actually really like this set and I don't have an issue with the price point. I wouldn't be interested in a £20 set which just had the speeders and minifigs. However I think it would be good if Lego offered the bikes and minifigs separately in a cheaper set to cater to different consumers and price points. That combined set does look great though, I'm now tempted to buy two of these, not just one.

I hope most people are smart enough to not buy this absolute piece of garbage and spend 80 on anything else

On the battle packs Lego can't sell the figures by themselves because of weird licensing issues. Because Hasbro has the exclusive license for action figures Lego has to include the side builds in order to not infringe. It is also why there has never been a Star Wars CMF series. Even though that would be easy money for Lego. As far as the content of this video is concerned, I actually don't care at all about the dioramas. I am not really a big Star Wars fan. What I actually am interested in is the fern and tree parts. But not at $80. If this were a 40 to 60 dollar set it might be on my radar for that. But since it is $80 and I personally don't care about the minifigures this is one I will wait for a sale on.

Mega Endor is AWESOME!

Nope, now u have to make Mega Mega Endor 😂

Don't worry... I'm bad with money too... when it comes to LEGO! haha... lucky my wife doesn't watch my CONTENT!

Endor outdoor diarrhea diorama?

3:24 I love the 18+ display sets because they make me smile when I walk past them and given stress is currently trying to kill me that is a good thing... But that one screams $50, $60 max not $80... It like the think the figs and the fact they put 18+ on it makes it worth that... Not to mention the figs suck and should be in an 8+ $20 or under set not this... Like I think all the 18+ star wars sets are over priced in current year... So I only get them with promos attached or on sale... Like I just built my duel on madlore set and it's perfect as a Lego star wars set! But even then it should have been $10 not $20.Edit: I'm a Progressive Republican Censtrist Moderate by the way... Like why insult people ON YOUR SIDE?

That's why I buy much less Lego sets nowadays.

How you don't have 100 million subscribers is beyond me. You are hillarious 😂, you should try stand up comedy.

best commentary on the endor set I've seen yet. Is the Ryan or Republican supposed to imply they are of the same ilk?

Great funny video Im saving a lot of money not being a star wars fan

I spy crocs

If Lego included Ewoks it would’ve been strange, it’s always nice to get more figs but they don’t exactly fit in the scene. Also 6-8 Ewoks is WAY too much.

My counterpoints: None (I agree with you 1000%)

Your Diorama finally worth 80 bucks 😂

Dude…you are hilarious. LEGO is ripping us off. I’ve decided to only buy LEGO if 20% off. Rakuten just had 20% off LEGO. You could buy 2 more sets for $130 for ultimate Endor.

360th like. We have come full circle

First video I’ve seen from this guy and why is he so passive aggressive the whole video he just wines most the time but calls it an argument there’s better ways to convey these thoughts, and I even agree with what he’s saying!

Completely agree here! Will I still buy it? Yes, unfortunately I did.😅 But seriously! Give us at least a couple of ewoks! They saved the day!!

This is how your wife finds out?

Blah blah blah
