Am I the only one who actually enjoys the hybrid animation and live action artstyle LEGO has gone with for these prequel figures? With so many appearances in live action with these Disney Plus shows, I feel like it's a decent balance. It's sort of limiting to just base a figure on a specific movie or something when we only see the figure so often

For a new playscale Venator, I'd maybe like to see it as an actual carrier. No interior for mini-figures, but the space is used for a hangar and you get some mini-scale fighters and gunships. Maybe even an AT-TE or two. It can even have some minifigs as a bonus. This way, the Venator largely retains its sleekness. For other prequel ships as updated playscale models with minifig interactions, I'd prefer a new Republic Frigate, a Republic Arquitens, or even an Acclamator ship.

Should’ve included the $5 Polybag Venator in the comparison for those of us who have no money (I know you already did the short but still)

Ngl I'm in love with the venator as a whole. Such a beautiful ship😍

I know it’ll never happen but I wish there was a UCS providence or lucrehulk. They got the Venator so good and I wanna see the CIS capital ships too. Missed oppurtunity by Lego for never making them.

That seam (or lack there of) on the UCS Venator is incredibly impressive. Despite what some may expect, Lego is not an exact science, so the designers being able to fit parts like that is insane.

Stickers on a UCS set will always be so funny to me. I don’t put stickers on my $10 sets. If there’s essential details only portrayed through terrible-looking stickers I simply won’t buy it. Isn’t it their job to figure that kinda stuff out?

Hope you do a size comparison between the Lego UCS Venator and RB UCS Venator.

I love you vids man keep up the good work

I gotta say, ive noticed a huge spike in quality in your videos recently, the editing and production has been getting better and better.

You should do a comparison between the UCS Venator and the Republic Bricks Venator as they're similar

Dope, thanks. Love the videos.

The two blue guys in the 2009 set aren't commandos, they're senate guards and actually normal humans

The Ucs one is just crazy. I can't believe Lego finally released one!

I wan to see someone turn the UCS set fully into a ROTS variant. I've seen the bridges swapped out, but I want to see the logos moved forward and the stripe completed (the panels should also slightly be raised for a sharper angle but that one can be omitted)

Republic bricks comparison next? 👀

I never realized how packed with play features the play scale venator is.

“They both look really good from behind”-Ryan

From a practical standpoint for me the original Ventor is better in my opinion but if I had the room money and time for the new one I would totally buy it but the new one is just too big

I would love to see a comparison between the UCS Venator and what you consider to be the best looking MOC Venator.

Yes! I was excited for this one! FANTASTIC comparison Ryan 😁 probably gonna have to get the UCS venator some time 😅

That moving about with the playsets handle gave me PTSD of when I did that and the bottom half fell on the floor

God that looks so epic... Especially the engines, they are perfect.

Hey Ryan do you think you’ll ever do a Jek-14’s star fighter vs E-wing comparison?

The Polybag part made me laugh I'll probably get both, and see if the Polybag can fit in the open hangar door

I’ve been watching Mandrs sub count slowly catch up to Solidbrix’s for months now and he is finally less than 1,000k away, just thought I’d share

Love your vids Ryan

I love this comparison

Back in 2009, I built the Venator and carried it to my friend's house across the alley. On my way back, I held it by the handle and spun in a circle for a long swoosh. The entire underside and interior became dislodged, hit the concrete, and exploded into hundreds of pieces in the alley. I got nervous just now watching Ryan give it the swoosh test

Compare it with your republic bricks version next! I love the UCS venator I am picking it up day 1 👍

I am just in-love with this new UCS Venator, the playscale is by far one of my favorites I have, probably just because it is a venator. I do want to do the slim mod to it though. But those rear red stripes on the UCS is sooo crisp, and the rear engine molds are just.... yes🤤

I really think the micro-scale gunship in the port bay looks more like a newer Jedi shuttle, not the t-6 but the other dome-front one.

Can you make a video with new era of clones (produced since 2020)? It would be interesting to see them together and compare to the old versions. And it would be great to see new Rex, Cody and Fox together

I remember watching the TV commercial for the 2009 venator and realy wanting to get it. However.... Yeah my parents wouldn't buy it for me so I didn't even bother getting it or asking my parents because I knew I wouldn't get it anyway.

Now we need a ucs invisible hand to go along side this one, ofc changing the bridge

damn i remember wanting the 2009 one when i was little. just seeing it in the physical lego catalogue ads and wondering/dreaming was fun

Do a lego star wars 2 in 1 vs set comparison woth all the sets over the year, which was the best value? We just got 2 this year so its a good video topic

Would you ever just swap the red bridge out for grey pieces?

love the content man. 2009 me would have never thought we’d be seeing a UCS venator. too bad about those stickers tho

just have to say the polybag at 13:03 is fire....🔥

I love the UCS version! For all of us fans of ROTS and Clone Wars, we have been waiting for this for a long time. When I can finally get one, I will be modifying it with internal space for minifigures, because I love modifying sets to fit personal preferences.

I’ve been waiting for this one boys

Can't wait for this to come out - definitely buying on the spot. Haven't went to get a set on release day for 3+ years. I live outside of Philly so my local lego store is at the King of Prussia mall (biggest mall in America). Do I have to get up early to get this on release day?

Why doesn't LEGO load these expensive UCS sets with tons of great minifigures?? I think something like this should have at least 10

Can you do a review on the 2009 version? I thought you'd get that out before the UCS Venator came out but you got your hands on it pretty quick.

The difference is crazy!

I think your mini figure criticism isn’t quite reasonable- when we see multiple slightly different visualizations of the same in universe thing, I think Lego is in the right for making them look the same. Lego having a consistent style for all Star Wars things is a huge plus in my eyes.

The UCS Venator looks insanely good. Just wish they would have included an interactive hangar with mini models.

There are so many people who claim a hangar wasn’t possible, which really isn’t true. I understand they need a way to support the front part, but they could have easily separated the two beams by just enough to add a micro scale hangar. It’s been done several times by people creating mocs of the venator, and more than half the time the scale is much, much larger than the UCS. Pretty disappointed as it would have made this a literal perfect set.

@@tomgu2285 I can understand this perspective, and I agree to an extent because at the end of the day, you’re right. Most people, myself included would just display it. However, creating this function would allow for more display options, and the hangar doors at the front are the biggest feature of this specific ship. I’d be more than happy if they got rid of the side hangar just simply for the front hangar, or at least a small part of it. Plus, just knowing it’s there is really cool too. I also doubt it would have costed that much more, and I would pay the extra 50-100 if it meant some extra features. I mean, if you’re spending $650+ on a Lego set I don’t think anyone gonna be mad for a small price bump for some really cool features. I’m hoping to get it one day (cus the venator has always been my favorite Star Wars ship) and potentially modify the interior to simply add a small hangar.
