You have THREE venators oh my god
Four if you count the boxed one
“Or 4 if you count him twice”- Lex Luthor
Getting three UCS Venators would cost you $1,949.97 USD with tax.
@@thedoomslayer108_YT Or $2142,75 for who lives in the euro zone 💀
A FLEET if you will
The way the Venator is angled reminds me of the scene in woch Ashoka used a venators hull as a shield against other star destroyers from the cis
That clone pilot that died above Ryloth 💀

He literally said that
ummmmmm... When?@@LayersonLayers

LMB has to have an insane profit margin. The prices they charge for some cheap lights is insane.
Yeah charging $120 for maybe $1.50 worth of lights seems a bit high
I just want to light the engines! I am sure AliExpress and maybe an Arduino can help me do a lot of cool things for a fraction of the price…
@@skroll71 Unless you want some special effects you don't need the Arduino. Just a battery, or power supply, and a switch would be needed.
probably still less than lego
I'm not doubting their profits are high but remember this;
They'll have to buy the set to figure out how to light it, which in this case is very expensive
Packaging is premium as well, not just random lil drug baggies
I've always been curious as to why LEGO designed the molds for the larger 4x4, 6x6, and 8x16 tiles with the injection point on the top face of the tile. Smaller tiles like 1x1, 1x2, 2x2, 2x4, etc. all have the injection points either on the side or bottom of the tiles. Seems odd.
Well, the bigger the piece, the harder it is to inject the ABS in order to have a uniform amount of plastic all around the piece. I believe that is due to the plastic getting colder and tougher the more it travels around the mold (which isn't that big of a deal in smaller pieces), so for that reason injecting just from one side would make it a lot harder, you would have to design a mold with multiple injections from various sides of the piece and make it work with the rest of the production line. However I believe Lego said at some point that they're working on better ways to inject the ABS in order to get rid of those annoying bits of plastic on top of tiles and other smooth pieces... That's about what I know about it, hope it helps haha
Those mods look amazing! I was initially going to get from Light My Bricks but I got the light kit from Lightailing because I think the bridge section looks a lot better since every 2x1 transparent blue plate throughout is replaced with a lighted piece as opposed to this one
The shot of the engines lit up is awesome
This looks amazing! Good job dude!
It's funny that the grey Venator looks much smaller than those other 2. I guess great display stands! :)
Fantastic set done amazing upgrade
Love the pad printed tiles, David! I can't wait pick those up and the other tiles you eventually print for the UCS Venator.
I got the UV printed tiles for all of the stickered portions of the build and I like them. Definitely an upgrade over the stickers. Mold marks to me are just battle damage 🙂.
We bought the Venator, such an amazing ship, the opening of Revenge of the Sith gives goosebumps every time. Bought the angled display stand from idisplayit and will definitely purchase the printed tiles and light kit soon. Thanks for the tips, awesome.
Three? I cant even find the beans for one 😂. Good work mate and may the Force be with you. Impressive. Most impressive.
Venator is my favorite ships from all of starwars, its starting to sell in my country any day now and i will get my hands on it. I will do the stand and lights cause it looks amazing. THANKS FOR THE TIPS MY MAN!
Awesome video man! I plated all those dark grey spots along the front of the venator and looks 100× better IMO, should give it a try
recently bought and finally built my venator and now i need these mods
you're so fricken cool dude, keep up the great work.
The 3 venators are so iconic from episode 3 (barring minor changes). Lego should make the invisible hand to go along side the venator. Next Challenge : Combine 3-n-1 to make the Ultimate Venator!
I'm buying the prints and the stand for sure. I'd like the lighting kit but I know I don't have the patience for it. Lmao.
I'm glad you are also printing the other 2 stickers. I was hoping the others would be printed also. I dont even own the Venator but I will soon enough!
I still have the 3 foot Venator I built 12 years ago on my channel. Hard to believe we finally have an official model
I have this Venator Kit for Christmas will definitely get that stand for it as it will look like it is moving into the attack
I still have the Venator on my wish list but have plans to buy one next year together with an angled display stand. This will then be the perfect platform to display my vast 501st clone army underneath with Captain Rex front and centre.
Hey, David! Quick question, do you have a parts list for everything you need to switch it to the Imperial version of the Venator? Love the videos!
Interesting 😂
Oh, hey BrickTactical! 💯
Man, not only you have them but you have the space to display them.
I got the LMB kit, it’s nice but I feel like the bridge could be a bit brighter on the neck, I also wish they could have used blue lights instead of white lights under the blue tiles
Curious to see if the color of the fleet symbol prototype print can be improved and dialed in if you plan on selling them. They are a bit dark and yellow/green tinted
You should the print again, but with a tan colored piece and gray and crimson printing and see how that turns out. It would avoid the injection moulding point.
I recently saw a mod that would make the top hanger where the big red stripe is openable and it looked amazing! If i remember correctly it was also only >400 parts too
This is really nice mods, shame i dont have a spare 650 in my back pocket 😅
You have 3 venators... I envy you! I might one day get another venator just to do a imperial variant.
How about adding a continuous stripe of lights under the top hanger doors to give the impression of the door seams widening?
With some additional lights from Light My Bricks I added lights to the guns that are beside the bridge structure as well as the guns up front. I also added two lights to the hanger bay on the underside. I purchased a printed tile kit from Brick Tactical that includes a cloth Kama for Captain Rex and show accurate guns for him also. I would say that I have $900 dollars involved between the set itself and the accessories. I plan on getting a display case for it in the near future.
Is there a serious reason they started putting the ejection ports on the outside of bricks? I feel like they used to always be on the inside or at least at the bottom of parts, but maybe Im misremembering things
Theres a mod by Forged In Lego that allows you to open up the main hanger door, and keeps structural stability. Once you have that, then you are complete.
Any suggestions for preventing sag and long-term warping of the main engines? Is there an aftermarket axel made of metal out there? Other solutions?
my local lego store is using that exact stand to display their venator!!
Awesome mods, so crazy question but do you think its possible to change the hangar bays to be open? have it fleshed out? it'd be the ultimate mod for a venator right?
You'd have to make some major modifications since the technic frame runs right underneath the hangar doors
There’s someone on eurobricks already working on it who’s made some very good progress
You should get metal technic rods for the engines to keep them from dropping so much
keep one venator with the red bridge, as those were also a thing in the fleet
If I bought of your stream on whatnot or won the venator for example ofc would it be sent to the uk?
I won't be getting the Venator until May 4th, but if you could find a way to build those bridges without inserting tiles into clips, that would be a fantastic modification. I don't care what LEGO says, I don't trust that connection to not warp the parts, and even though I never intend to take the set apart, warping any of them is still unsettling to me.
Are the pad printed pieces planned to be offered on your website? Or only in the Whatnot stream?
Is that the stand from when it was in the Lego store windows I’m pretty sure the Lego store in Meadowhall used that stand
I signed up!
Not so sure about the stand, the Star destroyer won´t fly on it´s side, it's always on straight.
You need to do a ROtS mod for us to see!
Bro please show and compare all the UCS Giants release form UCS Millennium Falcon to UCS Venator ❤
I have a question to WhatNot do you send it to Germany to
The printed tiles look better then the sickers
You got any spare venators lying around?
you should mod it to where it is the same as the venator in ROTS
Lego really needs better quality control for their stickers-especially sticker color! It's so bad for light grey that when I built the 007 Aston Martin, I CUT a few of the stickers so there was less grey. I have NEVER cut stickers before or since then. If even the light grey color matched, the Venator's stickers wouldn't be as bad (except that we should get prints for a 650 dollar set).
I need a stand like that for the Executor... the big one.
If the Pad printed Open Circle Fleet emblems are uploaded to Minifigs4U, I will buy them.
Don't wanna start the stream a little earlier? Would love to watch, but it's really late where I am
There is a Hangar Mod, so you can open the middle hangar bay... ^^
Is there a link to where we can purchase the printed open-circle fleet tiles?
I have a question, I would love to join your stream and enter the competition but the problem is I live in the uk, so that means the stream happens close to midnight, so I wanted to ask, let’s say I enter the competition and then go to bed but I later win the competition do I need to be on the stream to claim my reward or is it ok if I’m not there and I can just claim it later, like when I wake up in the morning???
Is there any modification for the engine thruster that prevents it from leaning down?
I would complain a lot less about stickers if lego just gave us a few spare stickers to swap when they start peeling or if u got it crooked
An elegant capital ship from a more civilized time.
Can you do a video adding an interior please
you forgot the mod to have the opening hanger doors
have a question on my Venetor one of the back pannals is bit off compeard to other one but i cant seem to figure out why. and looks awesome whit 3 beside eaother!
The lights are cool, but if you fixed legos mistake and added an interior, that would be epic
Damn, even though Lego got it right, they should have just written, Venator-Class Star Destroyer
Printed tile and stand are a must have IMHO but not a fan of the lights.
I only want one senator I feel like I’m never gonna get it
The plates give it an off brand Lego knockoff look if I’m being honest.
Hello instructions and pieces on rebrickable ? Thanks
Nice work, I am still bothered by the engine sag, can you fix that?
It'll be interesting to see how they hold up over time. Sagging that bad this early is a bad sign.
I have the venator and the engines don't sag, they just give that impression because of the angles in the back section
@@danielmayayo4533 so can that angle be adjusted?
Build something inside the venator
How tall does the stand make it
UCS Venator is $1000 in australia.
wish we could have it for $600
I need a Venator I’m broke asf and that would be a great piece in my collection
Do Pad-Printed Plates exist for the UCS Gunship?
Hello.. how wide is lego venator in stand in acryl plastic??
Wide in cm?
Whens the next geo update?
I’d like it more as the revenge of the sith variant rather than TCW style. Currently working on enhancing the gunship so it’s more like the films. Not the hugest fan of the show, so film love is appreciated.
Holy sh..
How wide is it on the stand???
where do print pieces like that
I wish I can join whatnot but I can’t
The fact Lego keeps using stickers is driving me fucking crazy. We pay a lot for these higher ends sets, the least they could do it put forth the effort to make a new mold for these high end sets, I guarantee they will still make huge profits either way.
Get all 3 together and make a short Lego animation
Does the display stand save on footprint space?
I want to know this as well!
That is a nice stand for a beautiful set but I don't have the space so it's a no
my engine lights are white lol wish they were blue
My wife said we have space for 1 HUGE Lego set....and bought anniversary LOTR set....no place for Venator. Makes me sad.
Unfortunately didnt do the split down the middle Mod. Best Mod there is
I was torn between getting the venator or the atat but ended up ordering the latter. Was that the better choice?
Getting the AT AT first is better as it is more expensive already and it will expire before the venator most likely, so you still have time to save for the venator
Is similar stand available for UCS Imperial Star Destroyer ?❤
Yup, I just saw its available for $24
Didnt you plan that you add one more give away?😢😢😢
What powers the lights
On UCS sets everything should be printed
i cant sign up on whatnot because of my country :((
The only reason I wouldn't prefer print on an injection point over a sticker is if it'll lead to chipping of the print. Otherwise it looks better than the off color mismatch and potential placement mess up if you sneeze or something while placing the sticker lol.
At 6:32 is it me or the engines are bending downward?
Am I the only one who doesn't mind the stickers
