I feel like he says this everytime about Republic Bricks and it never changes. They charge a lot for a set and still give you crappy discolored and dinged up pieces. Thanks for being legit Ryan! Can always count on your reviews.
I was just about to say this exact same thing. And they sponsor the "roast" 😅
Agreed, every review...it's a great design and build but there's a bunch of dirty used pieces. And every time the response is we are fixing it in the future. This has been for years now.
I actually don’t mind the used pieces, they fit with the weathered look of the mantis in game.
@@Wcduc then your a shill
@@jbh8791 it lowkey reminds me f the Chinese emperor who encouraged his officials to bully him
Such a shame Lego doesn't make many sets based on games. There's so much potential being missed out on
they made bd1 and the new 501st battlepack is based on the battlefront 2 clones, so they do dabble but just dont expect more than 1 set based on a game out at a time, it doesnt help that jedi survivor is a more mature game so making it as lego is a more difficult process to get permission since they are primarily meant for kids
@@connorgarvin2056omg bro he said MORE not make them in the first place like they have done
@@Quaxycal yea but they only got away with bd1 because... well its a droid, its an eas displayy set and we have seen his model in other media like the mandalorian, the likelyhood of them making a mantis with the crew (which other than pyloons saloon or a boss battle arena) would be the only one thats somewhat likely and even that is an absolute stretch to getting, its just probably not gonna happen, if we were gonna get it this wave wouldve been the one as the game came out recently MAYBE the final game will get a special set with it but its still ridiculously unlikely
Knights of the Old republic, Minecraft, and over watch: Am I a joke to you?
The BD-1 is cool, but I feel a Mantis set would have sold better.
I just think Lego would do such a good job with the franchise if they made more sets other than the current BD1 because of all the functions like the spinning wing function, I would be so happy if they managed to figure that out!
That Cal Kestis face print is horrifying
2Bricks made an amazing stinger mantis moc where both wings can move independent of each other. The design is amazing, and there is a full interior design. Haven't seen any better
2bricks is insane, his fondor haulcraft from andor is also incredible
Fr, definitely should do a review on that moc. It’s leagues above any other I’ve seen
same i actually made it and it is incredible
Yep 2Bricks is a god.
Not to mention the interior is way better on 2 bricks version
I made a few modifications and gave it custom landing gear and it came out great. I highly recommend it
Amazing review as always! (I absolutely LOVE the wood table you have been using! It looks amazing on camera especially with the white shelves in the background!)
This is why I watch your channel. Always honest about what you think. You don't sugar coat things but give honest reviews. As someone who has bought from republic bricks , I love his stuff. You do get the occasional bad brick but honestly the type of people who buy his sets have a supply of bricks to replace the bad ones (I do). I swap out 2-3 pieces and it's good to go. I think republic bricks has done an amazing job of listening to the lego community and giving them the sets they want. Every set that the lego community has asked for ( sometimes for almost a decade) republic bricks will sell in actual months. Geonosis arena, venator, jango fetts ship, and countless other sets sold by republic bricks just because we the community wanted them. In my eyes I see republic bricks more as a community builder than a lego set producer. He gives the lego community what it wants, and creates excitement around lego star wars something Lego company has failed in part to do.
Yeah, using old parts and bad customer service r 2 things he needs to change. Why he hasn't yet is just insane
I would pick "2-bricks" model over this one
The Mantis is probably the coolest model I have ever seen from Republic Bricks
I've been wanting to buy this set for a long time now. Honestly just been waiting for a review from you so this is perfect timing lol. Keep up the good work!
Wow that looks AWESOME! I'm planning to make a MOC of this but the Survivor version with Survivor characters.
that cal kestis looks like he's seen some stuff...
Looks like a great display model I wasn’t expecting that interior, a nice touch.
Great video Ryan, thanks for the honest review! Been watching since 2017!
Republic bricks makes so many awesome custom sets!
Man that looks sick
Its a great set and I love mine but I will say the quality of parts was a bit shaky. There is also some un-utilized space at the back of the ship that I think could have been put to good use. the whole space gets walled off way further toward the front of the ship than it needs to be.They also forgot the code for the instructions but Timmy helped me out asap. I would def reccomend it to anyone who's a big fan of the ship and can shell out the bucks but there really needs to be greater emphasis on part quality. - especially for parts that aren't even rare
I was working for Republic Bricks back when this set released in November 2021. I had told myself I wasn't going to buy any of their products but I had to for this one. I still don't regret it!
They already did a BD-1 set. They should really do a Mantis set with Cal, BD-1, Merrin, Greez, and maybe Bode!!!
Very nice build, I prefer 2Bricks though
YEEEEEES I don’t mean to sound annoying, but I legit Look almost exactly like Cal and have cried many times at how happy I am a redhead character like me has become so popular, ima 100% buy this in the future
2Bricks, a lego moc designer, made the mantis. I can't remember if he had instructions out or what but if so, you should do a review on it.
looks really nice!!
Love this model one of my favourite ships in Star Wars
I need some phase 1 and 2 regular clones, what is the cheapest way to get them?
Straight to the point 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
i can’t wait to meet you at brickfair va i love your videos
I would love to make my own moc of this with a more accurate interior, but might order this as well to get a feel for the techniques used and proportions! I also think Lego should make an official set, but it would killer to have it as a minifig-scale UCS set!
This is a fantastic build
Here I am after falling in love with the mantis in fallen order just to find out that the force unleashed got a set for their ship but fallen order didn't 🥺
Thank you for doing your reviews, it helps me decide on what sets I need to get, especially the custom ones. With something like the mantis though, doesn't having the discolored bricks add to it looking like a more realistic and worn starship since they are fleeing the empire and limited on resources in the game?
The CZcamsr 2bricks made an incredible version of this ship
The custom set looks awesome
Does anyone know what stand he is using in the video?
great video your probably the best lego review and build cannel keep up the great work. I just noticed I'm leaving this comment on my moms account whoops.
The smaller wing stability issue can be very easily fixed Ryan. I don’t know why Timmy didn’t catch it. Instead of using a 2x2 plate with only 2 studs, just use the regular 2x2 plate. Probably would have even saved him money as well…
That’s so cool
Good review of a sick ship lego wont make and Celtics W making my day
Everytime I finish a set I complete the lego survey. In that survey it asks what sets you'd like to see in the future, I've been asking for the stinger mantis since 2019.
The fact that you dont mince your words, and drum home the mistakes is what I love about your reviews. I mean if something is glaringly obvious that they could have fixed or thought about, it should definetly be called out. Love the no holds barred non appologetic reviews. Its also the only way well get better products in the future.
Nice!
Is that the gauntlet from republic bricks in the back ground? Would you do a review on this set? Would like to see a review before i consider to buy it!
wait what are those black boxes in the closet in the back under the clone army
Another beautiful model from Timmy and the team. This should seriously be an actual set
ngl the reviews are always the same now lmfao, amazing design and structure but ridiculous pricing and poor parts selection, for someone that gets these sent specifically to review they really dont seem to listen to ryan
@@connorgarvin2056 hes a scam and if hes not its still a ripoff and poor quality
@@simpingspartan646 yea, we all know the only reason ryan has these sets is cause he gets them sent for free lmfao
@@connorgarvin2056 i would be the same way lmao, free is free
He doesn't actually design anything himself he just pays other talented builders. Trust me he has horrible customer service and fake lego in his sets. Would not recommend. He's overrated.
The Black Series Thrawn looks good
Mandr why are the bad batch clone helmets smaller than all the other ones
I love the design and wish Lego would consider making an official set of this ship. Since I know they arent going to, I'm really considering getting this set and risking the parts i get
Love the critical review, especially since you were sponsored by the makers. Im playing a lot of Jedi Survivor and loving this idea for a set. Hopefully Lego takes notice.
I don't know this ship, but it looks pretty cool! & Ryan, how is your video/review quality so good!? Whatever you did, you did a good job!!
I'm trying to make the coolest and best moc do you have any tips
I wish Lego would make some sets like this based off the game. Would be a release day buy for me.
Hey you should review the Lego Death Star 1 I think that would be so cool and you could compare it to the second one
I ordered a mystery set box that was on sale roughly a month and a half ago it hasn't been delivered yet
Personally I quite like the slightly crummy used bricks as it gives it a messier and dirtier look, showing that its not right off the factory floor
Lego should make a Mantis set and include purge troopers
Hey Ryan. I have too much lego. I was wondering if you could create a video on how you sell it, price it, and ship it. I think the shipping part is what confuzzles me the most. Im trying to sell sealed and already made sets in tact like UCS mil falcon. Also debating on selling my sealed ISD UCS.
Hey mandr it’s my birthday today I got the n-1 starfighter and the fang fighter vs tie interceptor I’ve got £70 what would you recommend I buy
I have 5 or 6 sets from them and there's always something small that drives me so nuts that I can't display them. Two wedges next to each, one the wrong color. Note right behind the interior at (8:25) where one is white and one is tan. Plates with bad gouging from prying them apart. Off color pieces. They have all ended up in my daughter's lego bin.
Cool
I think the only thing missing is the galaxy map, it could’ve fit but also would’ve taken a lot of space. But you could easily build your own.
Do you plan/would you consider collecting custom moc's that aren't sponsored from sites such as BrickVault? I personally have bought some of their larger ones such as the Minifig Scale Sandcrawler, Ghost Corellian Transport and Boba & Jango Fett Slave 1's to name a few.
LETS GO CELTICS
Hey Ryan, what are the The Skywalker Saga black boxes over your left shoulder? Can you speak on them at length? Thanks, happy weekend!
Hoping for an official set one day but this is really cool. Not sure about republic bricks though.
th discoloration and used peices are nice because it sorta makes the ship look worn down (kinda)
I so badly want an official Lego version
This looks really good for someone who has never played Jedi Fallen Order. Not something that I would personally though.
Can you do a review on the republic bricks Jedi starfighters?
Do think that Lego will release a at-ot with drop ship since Lego has released a at-te and is going to release a republic gunship. Also for your next moc after hoth can you build a Navarro moc
can see the different shades of blue from the pieces on the thumbnail
Any chance you could check your offers on what not
Hey do you play with any sets?
I think it was on your shelf last year
Can you review the UCS “GALACTIC HEIRESS” GAUNTLET FIGHTER V2 next? It looks amazing!
Thanks for the great and balanced review Ryan!
I went ahead and ordered it (using your link and code of course!) as my son is a huge Fallen Order/Jedi Survivor/Lego/Star Wars fan and this is the set we’ve been waiting for from Lego for awhile.
Hopefully the quality issues are minimal and won’t require additional BrickLinking. 100% agreed that it SHOULDN’T happen on a custom set like this. But if so, then 🤷♂️
Thanks again and good luck on Hoth! I’m rooting for you!
If its okay with you would you maybe reply with a feedback once it arrives? Still a bit iffy on buying from him and would appreciate another review from someone he doesnt actively work with.
Cheers!
@@jamesomega589 absolutely 👍
Just a heads up that I’m still waiting on receiving this set.
@@mraceman123 Dang that sucks but I am not surprised... I heard from multiple people that it takes ages for their stuff to arrive.
Looks like the oversight was on my part.
The site clearly says: “PRE ORDER MID AUGUST SHIP DATE - COMES WITH CAL KESTIS (SURVIVOR)”
Apparently it helps to read the entire description. Who would have guessed? 🤷♂️
J’aime beaucoup RepublicBricks
I definitely prefer the version from 2bricks. His design is so much more brilliant 🤩👍🏻
cool set, but where is the poncho?
No greeze? I've been wanting to do this moc for awhile now but I got a feeling lego will eventually do this exact build. There really should be more sets for jedi fallen order.
Wholly crud that’s hugeeee
That’s what she said
You should do a video where you go undercover and use a different number to order something from Timmy and see if it’s the same quality because he know that you’re going to make a video that lots of people will see.
If I got perfect quality stuff every-time maybe that would be fun buuuut like every review I talk about bad used pieces in the bags.
@@MandRproductions Yea and I really appreciate that you talk about the bad and good unlike most LAN members lol. Although, I think Timmy is giving you special treatment because of your you and the number of your following so he doesn’t look bad. I have heard from many people that they have had horrible experiences with Timmy.
I think the version from 2bricks looks a lot better with better engineering. I would love to see you do a review for that one
Brick Vault does one also, ots pretty good .
400 is crazy. republic bricks uses a little trick that is pretty good if used right, but they overdo it like CRAZY. putting up the price to something really high, but having it constantly on sale to a reasonable price makes customers think it is worth more than it is. except none of republic bricks's prices are reasonable...
If I was running a business and trying to make money I would sell my good looking models for double the price. Because even tho he isn’t the one making the ships he still has to pay the original creator. And it takes a long time to design a perfect Lego model
$240 is a justified price with the scale of this set
Please do a worst to first of every set with a clone in it.
I love how you don't give a sh*@ and just diss this crap. I appreciate it.
To me the mantis just looks is a fang fighter without a second wing with a more transport vibe.
Interior leaves a lot to be desired and wasn't considered at all, but it's not a play set so. If I could design one I'd go heavy on ensuring the interior has a lot of key aspects
Personally, used pieces on star wars sets don't bother me.... personally it contributes to the 'lived in feel' star wars has always had. that being said, I can understand why it bothers other people, especially when we're talking about something that costs money.
I guess that everyone in the comments would know that the 2Bricks Mantis MOC is miles better than this one, right? Altough its a way bigger price range to be fair, pretty good details/price ratio for this one!
The ideal Cal Kestis already exist, the Obi m-Wan from the Inquisitor Scythe just needs a second lightsaber.
If Lego made this we'd wish it was 170, we'd expect 200 and they'd charge 230.
Lego would make it much smaller because it would be a play set.
Great looking custom and not a bad price for a custom set but to get obviously used bricks is disappointing for sure. Especially for a high price customs are.
I want one to scale so bad
I seriously don't get why they didn't do this set this year for the release of JEDI SURVIVOR
theres a youtuber who made the rotating wings better and increased the quality of the space inside more and added more interior space just like in the real game
this one is lacking some of the rooms
I swear I'll sell a random person's kidney's to buy the Mantis when Lego releases it
I’ll sell yours
@@CanadaBricks Not if I'm first! I know where you live! 😎
....Canada
Could you try and review Hachiroku24's bad batch marauder? It's a beautiful model and would love to watch that
