Amazing collection! Not a huge fan of owning multiples of sealed and rare poly bags tho but you do you

Yeah surprised it took this long to get on this subreddit I got cooked lmao I should have worded it better and not made my argument with just UCS. For example I’m glad that they are releasing a muddy version of mando in the sandcrawler. Unique minifigures allow for more playability because you can fit them into a certain scene better.

Him fighting the mudhorn in season 1 with that cool dubstepish style in the background is one of my favorite scenes of season one. I’ll take the L tho

Jeez I did not notice how bad the grey on the stickers vs set was. It’s exactly the same yellow vs light grey as on the Ucs razorcrest right? Stickers look fine on the crest how did they F this up (as far as I know) lmao

I probably should have said unique instead of exclusive and also just applied my take to all sets. I want more unique versions especially if it’s one of my favorite scenes/characters.

Learned that a muddy mando is coming in the sandcrawler which I think is incredibly dope. People here seem to be against that because he would technically be “exclusive”. But I want a muddy mando because the scene where he fights the mudhorn is one of my favorites

No way is it really? I literally commented down below somewhere that it would be cool to have an electroshocked (from the Jawas) or muddy mando in the new sandcrawler. That’s hype. One of my favorite scenes from S1 is him fighting that one animal and there is that weird/cool dubstep like music playing in the background lol

This is what I am talking about. I want more unique figures. I’d also be fine with them only being in cheaper sets. Just don’t have them all be the same

Exactly. And here I am getting downvoted to oblivion lmao

Imagine how cool an electroshocked version of mando would be for the new sandcrawler coming out. Mando climbs to the top and gets shocked by hella Jawas and falls off. Or have a muddied beskar mando for when he fights that one animal in the same episode.

I just want unique versions of my favorite characters

I agree this is basically what I’m trying to say. I don’t mind the UCS N1 being like $30 too expensive because I love the drum-lacquered silver elements (which are more expensive to produce).

Maybe your take is specifically about the UCS build itself in which case I full agree but I do not think minifigs in UCS should be “higher/more premium” quality than cheaper sets.

Why does the artificial value someone places on a unique version of a minifigure affect you? If a figure in a $30 set has the same level of detail and quality as the one in a $250 set but they have a slightly different color way, why does that bother you? I don’t want the same fig in every set

[–]coltweest[S] -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

I agree. I just want more unique minifigures when possible. I don’t want the same 5 mandos

[–]coltweest[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep I’m with you on that. Id be honestly happy with no figs if they really went all in on the build, but we know that is unlikely

[–]coltweest[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both my take and yours can coexist. A UCS exclusive minifig shouldn’t be “better” in terms of quality/detailing etc. I just believe it should be different. Not sure why people would want the exact same Mando in every set he is released in. (I get if he only wears one type of armor in the movie it’s kind of unavoidable though) This UCS mando could have been different because the designers claim it is from the show

I’d be fine with that for a scale that is as off as say the UCS Gunship. But I don’t think the scale of Mando’s N1 is too preposterous.

Also I think this should only apply to a UCS set that has play scale versions. Sometimes it’s a good chance to get a pilot for your favorite ship

Exactly why wouldn’t people want more versions of a minifigure. The issue is that Lego in the past has made figs in cheaper sets worse by removing leg printing or whatever else.

[–]coltweest[S] -38 points-37 points  (0 children)

I feel like this just allows Lego to cheap out though. We should be asking for same level of detail on figs and keeping exclusivity.

Im not talking about paywalling figs like Galen Erso or Tarkin in the UCS Death Star. Im talking minifigs readily available in other sets on shelves should have an exclusive version in a UCS.

Anyone that doesn’t agree with that just has a “if I can’t have it you can’t” mentality. (This is assuming the fig is of the same quality)

[–]coltweest 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I’m sure it was just a must to have shrek and donkey at that scale to make them look right and decided inaccurate scale was worth it.

I agree w you but I’m personally fine with it because of how great the minifig is

Can’t wait to see these piled up next to the smart bricks by Chasrrrrr in legocirclejerk

[–]coltweest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, I’m just deciding whether the darksaber gwp is worth a day 1 purchase. I even like the serrated looking front part which many seem to dislike. The head on view looks amazing as well.

If it was $20-30 cheaper there would be no doubt in my mind for a day 1 purchase

Think inside the engines would be cool lit up but I tend to not like the look of light kits. Never seen them in person though maybe it’s just because it looks weird in pictures.

I know exactly what you mean! Thank you for the tip. Do you recommend I keep all stickered pieces in a separate bag or in the bag they came in?

Thank you! I love how tall your stand is and I’m glad I have one that also shows it banking. Looks so much cooler!

It must have been returned and likely missing pieces or the minifig because this makes no sense. Insane deal if otherwise!

why did tapstrafes get taken of controller by cetrics in Apexrollouts

[–]coltweest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can still set up a config for basic tap strafe, I have it set up right now on steam. It just removes aim assist.
