Agreed. Lego designer don’t give an F. They just stuck a Darth Maul figure in the set, giving no regards to which iteration of Maul should have been included. Especially considering that it is the Phantom Menace is anniversary this year. I’m surprised someone at Disney/Star Wars approved this set design.

It’s all chrome and the shape is round not blocky, which is much harder to capture in Legos

I really like this set! $70 is a bit too much, it should have been $50-55. However it has a great minifigures (that Saw Gerrera is excellent) and the ship itself has a fun play features and nice design. Btw David, it's great to see you again on camera during the introduction and opinion segment in your reviews.

Not really fussed about the eyes, but Maul should have really came with a cape and a hood.

The size of the infiltrator is a piss take, sick of these tiny ships costing more than the bigger ships of the past, and not to mention the lack of figures, even if they just threw a watto in with the set it would make me a lot happier but for the price compared to the tantive I would’ve really wanted Padme, obi wan and captain panaka as well, but Lego clearly just half arsed it because they finally made saw gerrara, great figure granted but still not good enough, the extra fig is supposed to be a bonus! Not an excuse to cut corners on a set this drastically

Still awaiting the day for the Naboo royal starship. I doesn’t even have to be chrome, it can be the metallic silver. Either way, we gotta get it one day

Wtaf, $70 for a tiny set like this? Would have guessed $40, even taking into account modern LEGO pricing. Even if it has 640 pieces, it just looks like a midi scale set or sth.

@@dynestis2875 fr, and brix studios really tried saying the 2011 set is less value. However the only reason it has less pieces is because it's hollow on the inside, but the new one is mostly filled. This set is a big disappointment for me, the entirety of the 25 anniversary for phantom menace is a disappointment and I don't have hope for the anniversary for the revenge of sith as they might miss the mark like with phantom menace and attack of the clones

I am whelmed. Especially as this could have been great.

I feel like it's high time we start weighing sets and talking about grams per €, or like... stone/£ or pennyweights/$, because Lego's definitely onto the piece count and is giving us a lot more 1x1s

Why is it that most of these sets this year feel 10-20% overpriced? Like, a 70$, worst version of the Infiltrator, with only 3 minifigs? It doesn't feel worth that. Saw is also way too green.

finally another person who likes pupiless maul i cannot tell you how many times ive been CRUCIFIED by others by liking pupiless maul

Nice 70 dollar minifigure pack with microfighter

This set is awesome! I had the original from 1999, but this is a big step up. Always good to get a Darth Maul minifigure! They even have the double red lighsaber even if the scene in the movie didn't have that.

I had the original 1999 Sith Infiltrator, my first Bigger Lego Star Wars sets, can't wait to Expand this a little & include the Printed pieces on this from the "99 set. GREAT VIDEO!!!

I love how much better Lego design is getting. Even though it's smaller, it looks way better.

I miss that 2011 set, I still have the maul figure, he's the only thing that remains from that set. I'll definitely be picking this set up.

I love it! My first set was the 2007 sith infiltrator. This reminds me a lot of it

Lego really making sure they get these out to ambassadors earlier now that some nonambassadors were able to get some big reviews out first 🤣🤣

Initially wasn't too happy with the look of the ship on the leaked photos but after your review I changed my mind, definitely looks super detailed and the techniques look fun too, can't wait to build it. Biggest downside for me is lack of 4th figure (excluding Saw), Padme or perhaps some one-off character from Ep.1 would fit perfectly here

I’m pleasantly surprised, but $70 is rough

I don’t mind a smaller size ship. It makes sense you’d want a smaller ship for an assassin.

Where can we get that acrylic stand the infiltrator is on in the thumbnail? I like the angle that it tilts the ship

With the cost of living crisis im gonna have to wait till they knock off £10 at least to get this. Will definitely get this eventually. The saw minifig carries

armor lines up with torso looks amazing

Do you have any images of the Droid troop carrier promo? And also do you have to spend $160 on May 1st to get it or May 4th?

Lol I expected it to come out like 2 weeks from now, I think this set is great!

I just noticed the old droid carrier in the back 😂

I will say i like how more detailed and refined this one looks. I had the iteration before the last one, and i never liked how studded it looked

It looks way better than the older ones' details as a smaller kit.

Anyone know which shelves he's got in the background for his Lego Sets?

I like this set! I missed out on all the other sith infiltrators and I was bussing about another one coming out! However I agree it is 10 or 5 over price, a padme minifigure would have made up for that price 😁

Really well designed set in my opinion but $70 still seems like a lot even for 2024. At the very least give Maul a cape and hood like he has in the scene.

I’m gonna pick this up along side the Death Star playeset to make a Fallen Order diorama with Saw Guerra, Cal Kestis, a couple rebels fight off troopers

Looks smaller than I thought it would be. Outrageous.

Box is like a third of the side of the 2015 infiltrator. I wish the set was bigger but I do like how the infiltrator looks more displayable and somewhat comparable to the new display sets.

Bro how do you have it already?

No stickers is a huge yes yes!! ❤

I am surprised that saw is in dark green and not in light green as it was on the photos, but I am glad I was wrong about it being light green.

I own the 2011 version of this ship and I’ll say without having this new one in my hands, I think it would have been better to have something between this scale and the 2011 set. Although I do definitely have my issues with that older larger design. It’s a very clean and well detailed looking set.

David, I’d love to see a video where you talk about what you think makes a Good or Great LEGO set versus a disappointing set. What gets you the best value? As someone who can only get a few LEGO sets at a time, I find myself always going for the $200-$400 LEGO sets to get my moneys worth. Maybe you could include some examples from previous or recent LEGO sets. If that is something you think you could talk about, I would love to hear your thoughts
