The upper cargo space on Shin Hati’s ship perfectly fits a minifig for some reason

@klaykid117 11 ай бұрын

That's exactly what I was thinking. Why does she have to lean so far back when they give us a chasm of a storage box?

@King-Bubel 11 ай бұрын

I imagine they increased the size of the enemy fighter to make it feel more like a fair comparison between the two.

@SystemUnderSiege 11 ай бұрын

Yeah when you look at it from the perspective of a toy for kids (which is what this is), this is a pack you can get and two kids will have fun playing with "equal" ships. From my perspective i'd also like it to be smaller but I can see the logic.

@Gameprojordan 11 ай бұрын

They increased the size to increase the piece count so they could sell it for a higher price

@@SystemUnderSiegehuh, I never considered it from that angle. That’s a really great point there

@vtr0104 11 ай бұрын

If you think they put too much effort into that starfighter for something relatively obscure, remember that this is also the team who, when Episode 7 came out, decided one of their release slots should include the Jakku Quadjumper (L 75178), that was in the movie for all of 10 seconds before a TIE Fighter blows it up. And they put a lot of detail in it, including a button to blow it up yourself.... I love that thing :|

It's great to see some starfighters with actual heft to them again. I think a lot of people don't realize just how big even single-seat fighters are in the real world; even with as fantasy-with-lasers as Star Wars is, it's often weird to see a spacecraft that looks less massive than some WW2 fighters, nevermind any modern jet. They don't need to be super realistic but it's nice to be able to look at something and just take it for granted that yeah, you could fit a hyperdrive and a power generator and life support and such in that fuselage, sure.

I’m curious if the old trans orange, like they used for fire, would look “better.” Love the IKEA astromech!

@klaykid117 11 ай бұрын

Honestly, I just put a transorange flame into a lightsaber handle and it's still way too bright. So all the Lego Star wars KZfaqrs probably still would have complained about it

@lukestarkiller1470 11 ай бұрын

I think the old trans orange is the perfect color for them, I’m sure if that color hadn’t been discontinued then it’s what Lego would have used for them, but the current trans orange is just too pale so I understand why they went with red

@Moldeyawsome12 11 ай бұрын

I’ve got a few old reddish-orange lightsaber blades from the chrome hilt era that look pretty nice for Shin and Baylan

@bobbygilbert2706 11 ай бұрын

I didn’t even realize their sabers weren’t red until this vid

@lord_aqua 11 ай бұрын

Personally, I'm going to replace the red blades with trans-neon orange ones, but I don't blame Lego for using red blades regardless. I think it was even said that those lightsabers were based off early versions of Vader's lightsaber when it had a more orange hue to it, but was still seen as red, so it makes sense to me.

@klaykid117 11 ай бұрын

I wonder if LEGO would have been better served selling these as two separate ships on the shelf, although I wonder that for every double ship packs. It seems very strange that they built her fighter to not let her sit up in it but then give you a chasm of double storage.

@lolfreakwaca4328 11 ай бұрын

The Cheapest set for this show is like 75 € ...they probably could have released these separately for cheaper, but I guess they just thought they could justify a higher price if they bundled it together, making a bit more profit. As Jang said the E-wing alone would have been 50 , and the other ship easily 40 to 45, and if you are that close to 50, might as well make it 50 with a side build....

@skinnyj123 11 ай бұрын

It seems with every double pack people only want the more recognisable build -Darth vader vs a-wing: everyone wants the tie - fang fighter vs interceptor: everyone wants the interceptor - e-wing vs shin: everyone wants the e-wing They would've been better making the e-wing with a speeder and sabine as a set and them making the henge a set to get all 3 villains

I would personally modify Shin Hati's starfighter so that she can sit properly in the cockpit

@StupidManCostume 11 ай бұрын

It feels like the size of the ship wouldve been able to accomodate that in the design

@carnivoroussledgehammer464 11 ай бұрын

I think the size of Shin’s starfighter is great, but I am biased as I do love the ship design and color scheme. She should be able to sit properly in the cockpit though, and her alternate expression definitely should’ve had the flight headset. Baylon and Shin could both have used capes and hoods, and Baylon also needed a shoulder pad piece in my opinion. They gave Marrok one, but even in the show Baylon is considerably bulkier than him and that should have translated into his figure to better reflect the character. Morgan’s figure I agree with you on, she looks great!

@stuchly1 11 ай бұрын

I really like both of these spaceships. The E wing feels far more enjoyable to swoosh around than the standard x wing. Feels like an x wing would rattle around quite a bit but this one feels solid.

@brickfoxx1605 11 ай бұрын

My humble opinion, but this is one of the most satisfying building experiences I have had with a Lego set. I especially enjoyed the E wing build. Thumbs up from here.

@isdajay 11 ай бұрын

Hey Jang, regular Trans Orange wouldn't work for the lightsabers, but how about Trans Neon Orange? those were available for Nexo Knights... Granted it's not the same situation as Rey not having a trans yellow blade in the Holiday Falcon set or Jacen having brown hair. Those to me are huge mistakes.

@JANGsLEGOreviews 11 ай бұрын

Trans-neon orange isn't even in production any longer, so not an option. The more I look at it, the more I warm to that idea, but I still think red is the closest match to the onscreen appearance of Baylan's & Shin's sabers per LEGO's standard visual translation. Their outer glow and the SFX glow applied to the actors' faces as well as environmental VFX is very red, and the blade is of course near white as always (the palest possible pinkish-cream). Only the part of the glow closest to the blade surface has a noticeably yellowish shift towards orange.

@isdajay 11 ай бұрын

@@JANGsLEGOreviews I didn't know Trans-neon orange wasn't in production anymore, but I don't blame LEGO for not getting it "right" even if the color was available. Concept art would be hard to judge or assess without seeing the final product or even a trailer to get it right and as usual: Bad Guy = Red Blade. Even now that the show is airing is hard to tell the different hues in action as you say. It's only apparent when Marrok uses his lightsaber in the same shot as Shin... but Disney has made it a point to highlight the difference in color in the marketing material, specially in the new poster that came out yesterday :D Well, at least there's BL to get those Tr. Neon Or. 4L bars

I'd get that E-wing on its own, but I don't care about the other ship, and unfortunately the price goes way too high for me with that addition. I like the shaping of the nose on the E-Wing, wish they could do that on their X-wings, those are still utterly straight when the cockpit and fuselage should basically blend in. I suppose it's harder to do, since the cockpit itself basically needs to be angled, but you'd think they would at least figure it out on the UCS one. I also wish they made a new canopy piece, since the shaping of it just isn't quite right.

Although I would have preferred a more Eclipse Fighter vibe than I ended up getting, the Shin Hati Starfighter is in no way disappointing. It evokes the WWII era fighters in a way that I like, similar to how many SW ships draw design elements from that era. I was SO excited to get an E-Wing finally. The underside appeals to me in a greeble way. It makes me wish my sons were still young enough to play Lego throughout the house and wage epic battles with sets like this.

Micro fighter prices do suck but word on the street is that we saw the last of the micro fighters with last wave, which personally I’m a fan of that. I always like to see what Lego’s new $15ish one-minifig sets will be every couple years, although unfortunately I think the new thing is the mechs. Micro fighters were pretty awesome but I think everyone would like to see the return of the classic mini-kits.

The E Wing looks great but I wish Disney hadn’t redesigned it like that. The whole point of the E Wing in old EU canon was to be an x wing replacement multi role fighter that was stronger and tougher- hence why in the EU the astromech is concealed in the back under armour and not exposed and why it had an extra canon above the cockpit. Might get this set just to modify the e wing but not something I’m desperate to do.
