While I agree with you that the release of the gunship was not well done, and the mini figures inside of it are not what we ask for… I think that the UCS Republic Gunship by far is way better then the 4+ X-Wing and many others that you ranked above it. The build of the actual gunship is one of the best sets of the year in my opinion. The set would have to be number 6 or 7 on the list for me. Just my opinion…🤷🏽 I agree with everything else on your list! Great video, keep it up! 👍🏼 Edit: Wow!! 1.5k likes, thanks everybody!

There’s obviously a lot of controversy around it but realistically it’s just stupid to put it so low

It's a gorgeous set and admittedly it did have some hiccups, however the they were mostly press related. The mini-figure selection wasn't amazing but it wasn't objectively bad, the only reason people hate on it so much is because of how the designers showcased their ignorance. The amount of times I've seen people shit on this set is similar to how many times I see someone use the phrase "wholesome" on reddit. It's beating a beyond dead horse at this point.

Baggage the fan base made on the UCS Gunship. "Wow a set not scaled for minifigs didn't come with the minfig I wanted, it's now awful." Give me a break, everyone knows its a fantastic build and an even better display piece. I for one (even having the gunship) am glad that a highly desired figure like a Phase II Cody wasn't exclusive to a $350 set. Leaves it easier to get him in a set all fans can have in the future, not just KZitemrs. I find it quite frankly sad that after we finally get a prequel UCS set that we all voted for, the community cries like 5 year olds cause the box art got messed up and they didn't get the minifig they wanted. It's a UCS, hell for years UCS sets didn't have minifigs. Get a grip.

I'm sorry but a 320 quid lego set people wanted then becoming a flop is not good AT ALL. Minfigs were shit. The box art clearly wasn't taken into account. It's not about being a 5 year old its about being passionate for lego clone sets. You clearly don't give a fuck. If they r putting imperial logo on a clone set. It shows they don't care about prequel at all., Its not even built to hold minifigs. Which incase you didn't know, the gunship did hold a lot of troopers init. It has far to many flaws. People like you are the reason lego get away with things like this. They release crap for clone fans and when we try fight against it. We are apparently 5 year old? Grow tf up man.

It’s because MandR is prone to being biased because he didn’t get what he campaigned for. The whole gunship gang thing makes him think that if the gunship isn’t exactly what the fans asked for, it’s terrible and against him. He took it personally. Besides, I think the fans asked for Jedi Bob??? And there was no way Lego would do that. It is only recognizable to the people in the Lego Star Wars meme community, which is quite niche, and some 40 year old guy with the money to buy a ucs set has no clue who fucking Jedi Bob is. P2 Cody was justifiable, but it wouldn’t make sense as this is an aotc gunship. The clone pilot thing is dumb tho, 100 percent.

I can understand your qualms about the UCS Gunship, and some of the controversy was worth talking about. But there’s no way that your personal baggage makes you place below a 4+ X-Wing which is poorly done and as bottom of the barrel you can get and for their youngest market compared to being a set meant for adults. I could get it being on the lower half with your problems in mind, but I don’t think the somewhat lacking figs and the controversy can make dead last and below a 4+ set personally it’s comes off as very petty to me. You have a hard time letting the baggage go and I get it (if I were your mindset), but you got to move on sooner or later. Your review and some related videos about the UCS Gunship will age poorly due to this, it’s like a dark cloud above your head you can’t get rid of whenever you bring it up.

From watching most of mnrproductions videos and the video from the guy who was in the satirical lego interview (blanking on his name), the only real issue was with the communication, not so much that the set had minor errors that really don’t affect the LEGO set itself. In those videos he reiterates that he thinks the build is amazing and that his only issues were with the figures, the imperial insignia, and the communication. So I really don’t understand why it’s dead last at all seeing as it’s an objective list.

I like the color and it’s too nitpicky for me to put it low because the show left the color somewhat ambiguous, but the problem was the lack of a locking mechanism for the top fin. I’m used to picking up shuttles by that and it really bothered me. I’m with MandR in that I hate modding official sets, they should work property out of the box. Also wished for some landing gear.

I’m not saying the Gunship deserves last place because that build was amazing. However, Lego literally asked us what minifigures we wanted to see in this set and flat out ignored what we wanted. If Lego never asked us what we wanted for minifigures, then this set would probably have no problems. But they did ask, only to get our hopes up and then make us question the integrity of Lego. The point is, you can’t ask your customers what they really want the most with a set and then not deliver.

Is there another video that I should watch to get your reason why you rated this so low? Is it just about the minifigures? I agree with you that they are a pretty crappy selection, even for a company who says 'good enough is the best they can do'. But the ship is what really stands out.

People shit on the UCS Gunship far too much, it's like a meme in the LEGO star wars community and a annoying one at that. It's the most flat, unfounded opinion I've seen from this community yet. The build itself is basically flawless, the problems come from the designers PR, a logo mix up and a bland however not incorrect set of mini-figures ("everyone remembers a yellow clone" counts as a PR issue not a problem with the min-figures themselves) It's a beautiful display piece, just because you get boat loads of karma on Reddit for jumping on the bandwagon doesn't mean it's going to increase your credibility as a reviewer. Has it had a flawed life-cycle? Absolutely. Is it worse than a set for literal babies? You tell me. I really like your stuff dude but this is beyond a joke at this point.

It’s possible the people who spoke about the gunship just designed the ship and someone else was involved with the mini figs. I just feel like there’s got to be a reasonable explanation for the mini fig choices. I always wonder if the designers want to use a new pilot mold for the helmet, but someone over them is not let them because it’s their job to control the expenses on the set.

Dude your placement of the gunship was whack. It is not the worst set of the year, absolutely not. Were the minifigs poor and had a lot of controversy around them? Yes. But honestly they're no worse than the figures in the UCS Star Destroyer (which only got less controversy because people were more hyped for the gunship). I'm sorry but you saying it's the most controversial Lego Star wars set ever is just plain wrong. To you and your community? Sure. But a lot more people buy Lego Star Wars than watch MandRProductions. I have a friend who works in a Lego store and the Gunship has been a consistent best seller since it's release. I popped in myself yesterday to pick up a set and saw 3 people walk out with one in just the 10 minutes I was there. (Yes that is because it's just been Christmas and people have the money to spend, but seeing 3 of such a big set sell in such a small window of time is rare). In short, yeah this ain't it chief.

0:47 the reason why I think some people dislike this set is purely because of all the crap surrounding it we as fans have to look at it this way. If lego made this in like 2009 or something when mini figs were mostly not seen in UCS sets it would be known today as a legendary LSW set but because lego starts putting mini figs in UCS sets which should make it better it gets worse because we don’t get the ones we want. I am upset we didn’t get a phase to Cody but if nobody asked for it everyone would love it. Yes the mini figs aren’t great but we didn’t get mini figs in older UCS sets that we LOVE sets like the UCS dartg Vader’s tie fight or UCS Naboo starfighter or UCS Death Star.
