For those wondering you can get all the pieces for this model on bricklink for around the same price as the new r2d2 set! the price my differ depending on where you are but roughly its about $100 including the Instructions and Stickers > tommyc.store/ < Happy Building!
Do you have a rough estimate of the cost of the chopper specific parts if you already have a 75379 r2d2 set to use?
can you do bb-9e
Dude, there's a new Lego leak of basically this
@@Literally_simon_petrokov unfortunately there's not, as far as im aware they are minibuilds and nothing like this :(
I really respect that you tried to make your models out of affordable pieces, that’s definitely a big factor of why I get discouraged by MOC instructions
exactly why this model was important to get right for me :) i know a lot of people will want to build it
Yes exactly what I have been looking for!! You actually did it!
no worries :)
Looks fantastic. I have never brought a custom set/moc before, but as a big fan of Chopper this might have to be my first.
Hope you enjoy it!
Here me out
BT-1, the Evil R2-D2
interesting
@@TommyCFigsdo r2 KT, it’s a droid made for Katie, a man’s daughter who passed away from
Cancer
@@442ndher dad who made the droid for her was part of the 501st group, before the 501st was in star wars, it was a fan group of people cosplaying as stormtroopers, then George Lucas saw the fan group and added the 501st to episode 3
@@rhinojazzmaster I’m aware
I absolutely love the build. My only thought is maybe changing the "eyes". I think having a silver lens casing and then all black lens may be better for the build. Using a 1x1 stud with hole would make the third eye have the variation and make it look more inset as well. 😄
The talk about wheel reminds me of a factoid that the most tires made per annum is by Lego.
YESSS!!! I KNEW CHOPPER WAS COMING!!
Really awesome Chopper build.
Maybe a tiny oversight, as his left shoulder has a bit of a bevel around the curved edge, with the mismatched legs. But i imagine it was hard to find pieces that could achieve that detail.
not an oversight i tried to make the angle but couldn't figure it out to be accurate and good looking I've changed the shoulder a tiny bit for the final build but its still not much
This is a really great custom, it looks exactly like a lego set, the stickers were a nice touch.
Thanks a bunch!
Im working on an R3-S6 Goldie version. Will definitely be building chopper!
awesome make sure to tag me on insta or something would love to see them together :)
Not all parts needed for the color swap are available in Pearl gold. So I'm using bright light orange. About 90% or so of the parts are available in that color. Interested in doing a decal kit for this one?
@@bretproud3336 r3s6 is last on the list so maybe :)
1:53 "Among us pieces"
Ikr, I nearly bursted with laughter
i mean that's what they are XD
100% agreed. You really give Lego Designers props to make models correct and tested! I had to design, redesign multiple times in order to get my models to stay together. Nice job! Really enjoyed watching this.
This is my favorite chopper build I love it
Thank you
Love this build wonder what droid would be next
Chooopper! Love that dude!
Nailed it.🔥 #JusticeForChopper
Excellent design Tommy! I love how nicely it connects the aspects of a LEGO set and a custom build in one compact model.
The attention to the positive experience with the model for anyone interested in it, deserves a recognition.
thank you so much :)
Such a good take tommy🎉
Thanks :)
This is a brilliant build. You are a creative genius!
Can you please make a dune diorama since id love to see that
Great video with a beautiful build! This was great!
FYI i own an c series astromech droid myself and the wheel comes from the center but is on an angled swivel (that was a lot) very yes
Very awesome! Turned out great
thank you :)
Gonk or Mouse Droid Next!
Now, I'm thinking that you could make a model of C3PO. You've done a great job on the models so far.
LEGO is making one coming soon :)
Thanks for the tip with placing the stickers with brick separator I would’ve never thought of that
Happy to help!
It looks great. I’m really considering buying the instructions and stickers.
Would love to own a D-O and a Mouse Droid in the same scale to!
What about r4 units? The ones with the tall heads.
You're my hero! Thank you so much! I watched your "Fixing..." R2 video and immediately thought "What about Chopper?" He is by far my favourite droid, the little war criminal. I will happily get these plans and stickers from you.... Hear me out though. Its a non Star Wars request, but what about and EVE to fit along with LEGO 21303 Wall-E ?? 😊
Thank you and that’s a good idea maybe one day :)
Looks fantastic! I have a feeling LEGO might do one, let’s see how it compares
Wow! Your designs that you made that Lego didn’t make Are very interesting and cool!!
I know Lego already makes a bd1 but I would love to see you attempt a custom build
I love your work, these are all really good and just to add, when I first saw the latest R2-D2 from Lego I was hoping for a C-3PO in the same scale to display together, the very iconic Star Wars duo but I know parts in the right color would be impossible for a MOC, it would have to come from Lego at this point.
C-3PO is being made by LEGO hence why I haven't made it myself, if needed i will be making a mods video on it when it comes out to make it more detailed like the r2 video last week :)
very cute, very nice design ❤❤❤
it's so perfect, wow
thank you :)
You should make a series with all the units. R3-S6, R6-H5, R7-D4 and R8-B7
You should do that one spy droid Goldie
He is actually missing an eye btw
i love it. i'm sure people who build things like mechs in Lego could get something out of this.
Is it just me or did he speak very fast in this vid ❤
Now it's perfect.
Thank you
Thank you
Chopper and R2-Q5 are my 2 favorite droids, besides BD-1. Just Subscribed
Really great idea and build.
thank you :)
What about doing r4-m9
rebels was my favorite
I love Coper!!
plz make R2-A6
war crimes for chopper because chopper is the war crimes droid!
Nice set Tommy 😁
Many thanks :)
Beautiful! We need Lego to hire u
I wish!
Lego wont make? Or hasn't made yet? I would think they will eventually make a buildable Chopper droid, especially considering his popularity. But terrific build and video - thanks for sharing!
Amazing! What would all of the pieces cost roughly on bricklink?
Check the pinned comment :)
We need ashokas droid R7 A7
Will your back to the future instructions be available on your new store at some point?
yeah like i said in the video we test all of our models before uploading the instructions are done we are waiting on the pieces for testing
@TommyCFigs ok thanks
Time for a fully wearable Star Wars helmet! 😆
o_O
I'm so glas this was recommended to me! I'm really surprised that LEGO has never made a Chopper figure after all these years, and this one looks superb. The Republic Bricks one looks great, but I'm not a fan of how fragile it was (plus, I've never bought the pieces for and built a MOC, so I'm hesitant to start with such a large build... the size of this one is perfect! I've only ever built alternate builds that just require the pieces in a retail set).
My only issue with this build, which is honestly more of a nitpick, is I'm not the biggest fan of Chopper's eyes here. I really don't know what it is, but they just feel kind of... off. It might just be that Chopper's left eye (from his POV) is a bit larger and differently shaped, but they all look the same here. I wonder if something could've been done either with different piece usage or maybe a sticker to make that eye look unique. That being said, it's such a minor criticism and doesn't at all change my opinion of the build! I plan on picking up the instructions from you soon!
Is that an 18+ set or nah because that thing is fire
Chopper is a menace
indeed :)
U should make other R-series astromechs, like R4 and R6 units
made r4 last week :)
@@TommyCFigs I know, but like the astromechs with the cone shaped head like this:

/ \ ___
R4: /___\ R6: /___\
Brotha stays cooking🔥
Our favourite war criminal 💜💜💜
Yup :)
@@TommyCFigs chopper literally has the highest kill count in Star Wars I love it
Do you plan on doing an R6 astromech?
not going to build one but the stickers are planned in case anyone else wants to take on the challenge
R3 from the 2008 clone wars???
r3s6 will be getting stickers at some point i hope!
@@TommyCFigs YESSIR!!!
Can u upgrade the new ghost and add a custom phantom 1
Anyone else want to see a Lego Gonk droid - or is that just me 😂
Chopper > R2
Hell naw dawg. R2 all tha way
I was wondering if you could do R7-A7 from the Clone Wars and also your chopper and other droids look incredible!
Many Thanks :)
If I may suggest something - you should sell sticker designs as digital files for those who want to UV print it on the bricks - for me stickers are no way to go so I would prefer to pay for the design and then find a solution to print on bricks on my side.
Subtle jab at the Republic Bricks UCS Chopper… I bought it and I can say that 3rd leg does suck
Do you plan on ever adding the Giant Man instructions back onto the website?
i plan to add everything back to the website one day, however i need to go back through them and update everything to make it stronger and easier to build, I've come a long way from building these models and like chopper want the new instructions to be easier to build and higher quality for the builder
This is basically perfect although I have one problem with it. I wish his arm at the front would move out, he uses it all the time and it would be so much better than a sticker.
youre welcome to try that yourself if you end up building it :)
Around how many extra pieces form the r2 are required for this?
you are better off getting all the parts from scratch, the parts list is on the website to check out :)
R2-KT PLEASE!
stickers are on the way
CHOPPER!!
I wish they could
can someone explain how to read the parts list? Sorry, I’m new to the custom side of things. Or maybe make the full list in a link that I could just order? Would be super cool if you could
there is a video on the website on how to upload the parts list :)
@@TommyCFigs do you know the piece count of this so I don’t have it wrong? Coming out to 904 pieces
I think the side arms are a bit small. Did you try multiple arm designs? What do you think?
if you are talking about the head ones, i agree, thats why in the instructions they have been changed to make them bigger :)
@@TommyCFigs Okay nice!
How much does it cost to buy the parts?
about the same as r2d2, cannot give specific's as bricklink will be different no matter where you are in the world
Plleeaasssseee r2 kt
Stickers are done, just gunna test them then they will be up check tommycmediagroup on insta for the announcement :)
Could you do r3 m3 he’s my favorite 🤩
cant really do the clear dome :(
Sure you can you get a clear dome peice that well can’t think of the set right now but it’s just clear dome peice
ENTIRE VID WORTHY 🎉
yeah XD
THE GOODEST BOI
C-3P0?
on the way from LEGO
Put this on ideas. I think it could make it through! If not bricklink is the best option.
Ideas doesn't work like that. You can't just take a theme Lego already has and make a set for it
@@joevictor53 darn… I guess we’ll bust down the Star Wars designers’ door
Joes right, also if you upload a set to ideas you loose the right to sell it as it would them be owned by lego for 5 years, uploading it to my website means you guys can go on there and build it now, imo its a better system and one day i may do kits so people can just buy the pieces outright
W
I hope Lego makes this set despite of this video
The eyes need work
D-o
these really shouldn't cost money as it leans more into the legality of things but who cares
i actually love this idea but i dont have 500 dollars lying aroound
its not $500 its about the same price as r2d2 including the instructions and stickers :D hope that helps
@@TommyCFigs buying all of the sets for the whole droid gang assuming you dont sell all of the peices
@@ZaneProdz ahh yeah if you are talking all the droids then yeah its a bit more expensive but if you sell the figures it works out way cheaper :D
