oh wow, the interior is SICK for a small lego ship, they really crammed it in there somehow

@skyborne80 10 ай бұрын

I was all ready to criticize this Ghost for the lack of the upper turret being able to rotate, but it was totally worth it to give the set an interior.

I think there’s enough room to do both

@lukestarkiller1470 10 ай бұрын

I’m hoping as this ship becomes more popular that we could someday get a UCS version (probably not as big as the Millennium Falcon, more like the UCS Razor Crest), or at least a version on the scale of the regular Millennium Falcon sets with similar interior space

@RoscoeWasHere 10 ай бұрын

I think it's pretty comparable to the Falcon. In my opinion, having the ghost come around every 10-15 years, but a new falcon every 3 means the Ghost will end up being a little more special to many people. Also, the colors are much nicer to see, and I think it's an altogether more interesting build. I own both, and I think the smaller size is much better for my shelves as well!

@JoeyPeligro69 10 ай бұрын

Love this set. Would’ve been even greater if those panels on each corner could flip up to reveal a bed or table or something

@modderhoop2058 10 ай бұрын

Personally i would witch out the blue engines with the transparent orange pieces. Other than that good looking set in general. Just wish the underside was a bit better and the turret could rotate. €160 is doable but definitely feels expensive for its size imo. I would wait for a sale and pick it up closer to €100 down the line.

@h2owl205 10 ай бұрын

Yeah, I really don't understand the complaints about not having the rebels crew. This was marketed from day 1 that this was going to be based off the Ahsoka show. I don't know if they were just being extremely wishful with their thinking to the point where they tricked themselves into thinking that's what this was going to be, but it really is unfair that some people are dismissing this model solely because they convinced themselves it was going to be something that Lego clearly stated from the jump that it wasn't.

@RustyToaster 10 ай бұрын

It's a bummer that since the ghost is less popular, Lego isn't willing to make one the same size as the falcon, when it should really be bigger.

Thank you Jang for being the only Lego reviewer I've seen so far who doesn't immediately assume the larger lower window is the cockpit! Was so happy to see you put Hera in her proper piloting position! :D

@mizukage7911 10 ай бұрын

Love the review as always! Great build, I think the size is fine. It would have been nice if they added a few pieces to close up the bottom gaps like you said, but thankfully it seems like its pretty difficult to see the underside of the ship during display. The minifigs could have been a bit better here, 3 full figs + a mini fig and a droid is not great value, especially when two of the full figs are random characters no one really cares about but oh well, the Hera fig is amazing

@shermietubevt 10 ай бұрын

I'm really happy with how this ended up! Thank you for your review! I always consult your reviews before making big Lego purchases myself, just to make sure they're worth it.

@distantnemesis1593 10 ай бұрын

there’s no differences in this thing that could prevent it from being a rebels-era ghost right? like how the sequels falcon had a rectangle radar dish, etc

@siobibble9078 10 ай бұрын

The cgi model in ahsoka is the same one they used in rogue one and tros. So no. (Well technically There are slight differences between the animated design and live action design, like the sandwiched grey greabled area in the middle of the ship. But that’s only because they added more detail to the live action model. Canonically it’s supposed to be the same design all throughout)

@Gzilla313 10 ай бұрын

Only difference is this is Phantom II, so if you want early Rebels you'd need to MOC a Phantom I, but Phantom II is from Rebels. Also I figures are unique to the Mandalorian era.

This set really looks good. I will probably be waiting for Amazon to have a sale or for Lego to have x2 points. The Jacen hair thing, they probably just gave Lego an image of the kid in costume without his hair/wig green.

@KenTails 10 ай бұрын

I really appreciate the interconnected interior, it does feel like a big boost in believability. Including/even the bottom lamps, the fact that you can throw figs into the ship via those... it just makes it feel like an actual functioning vehicle of the minifigs' world. The build's very attractive overall. I wasn't a fan of the Ghost in particular, but having seen it on screen, I feel rather tempted... there are just too many attractive sets (mostly higher-end) coming out lately, whew!

Hehe. Just built this last night, and when I saw the large gaps my first thought was "I bet Jang's gonna call those out". Still pretty odd. Seems like it wouldn't have taken much to fill them in a little better. 🤷‍♂

@defenderprime8046 10 ай бұрын

Pretty cool new Lego Ghost, worthy as you say, Jang, I think I'm gonna rewatch your review of the first Ghost from 2014 to have a better comparision between the 2, like the interior space. In all, very nice set, if a bit high at the price range, but quite desirable for fans of Rebels as well as the Ashoka series.

Love this thing. The techniques to get the overall shape are cool. I do wish the cockpit was different, it’s real weird to only have Hera fit up there. This is the one SW design I would buy a UCS of. It really needs it.

@thatmattmcd 10 ай бұрын

Thanks Jang! I missed the 2014 Ghost so I'm going to grab this one. Given the popularity of Ahsoka, and enduring fan interest in Rebels, I wonder if this model is a taster or prelude to a forthcoming UCS version that could both upscale in size and perhaps boast both sets of crews as figures. Probable? Enough gas in the fandom to warrant such a set?

If somebody can answer this, in the back interior there are 2 gray pillars with black curved tops. Can those be removed or do the support the roof? I want to buy this model but I want to make space for at least one bed on each side but preferably two bunk beds if I can.

I totally understand why it doesn’t come with the old crew, but it is nevertheless somewhat disappointing for the people who are mostly happy to get this set as a way to make up for not having had access to the original. Hopefully we can maybe get a smaller rebels set or two over the coming years that could come with some of those figures, particularly if the Ahsoka series increases Rebels nostalgia

@lukestarkiller1470 10 ай бұрын

Yeah the problem is a lot of Rebels fans are just getting old enough to buy their own sets, most were not when the sets were actually being released, so lego really should be marketing to that group now but they aren’t

I like this ship but question to the group, the Ghost, Razor Crest or Millennium Falcon? To purchase as to own one ship. And not based on legacy or anything but based on having a fun ship for playing with and displaying.

@5xmasterx548 10 ай бұрын

tough. I think the figure selection of the most recent falcon and this ghost aren't great, based on the popularity of the characters. But, the razor crest has great figure selection. If you only mean the model, well the ghost has a detachable ship, which the other two don't. The falcon has the best interior by far. The razor crest has a lot of cool little details. When it comes to display they're all equal tbh. Maybe ghost because it has more colour. Except the Solo falcon looks pretty cool as well.

My gripe with this set is the inside is so devoid of anything. There's a crate with a meiloorun, a sink, and that's it. It would have been nice for a few more easter eggs, like maybe the holocron Kanan had or one of Ezras helmets. The inside just doesn't scream "rebels" or "the ghost" to me.

Great set (and great ship overall). Thank you for the review. But yeah, like you said, Lego is dropping the ball on various aspects and we decide if we want to accept it. I don't. For the premium price they ask, the sets have to be PERFECT. Ship is too small for the price and in comparison to the latest Falcon. Jason's hairs are inaccurate, i dont care what happen behind the curtain, ultimately we pay for it and this is a fail. Windshield/canopy should be printed and opaque.

@FireheartSamurai 10 ай бұрын

It’s nice update to the original Ghost set & all. But it’s really not worth 160 imo. At most Id say would be like 130 or maybe 140. Even then it pains me to say that though. I’d recommend picking it up on sale.

@andryuwesker2590 10 ай бұрын

Honestly it's doesn't look like a minifigure scale. Like Razor crest Collectors scale , the only way to do justice to the ship of similar size. With interior. Even the phantom looks oversized. Hope for 18+ wariant )))

£150 is actually more in $ than the Euro price of $182.12, and £150 is 187.14, which is atrocious conversion. Going from the price in dollars, it should be at most £130 and €150.

@michaelreilly7106 10 ай бұрын

How can Lego fit two figs in a ship as small as the phantom but they can’t fit two figs in a Jedi ‘shuttle’? And for some reason I thought this set was already $140. I might wait till it drops or not even get it at all. Lego has so many other great sets coming out.

The frustrating, maddening, desperate issues with the sets being cheap ive noticed is correlated with their licensed sets? At least with star wars and jurassic.
