Kinda deserved though. The Vaughn figure is terrible in multiple ways (at least 3 details are objectively wrong and would've been trivial to fix if the designers just glanced at a picture of him) and there is the issue of the helmet holes on the regular troopers. Those holes don't ruin the figures for me like they do for some people but they do still look pretty bad relative to what we used to get and are inaccurate when used with an accessory other than the visor. At least they made the last-minute decision to not raise the price to $27 like they had originally planned, though some countries did still see an increase (e.g. £19 in the UK when the 501st specialists pack was £18) and Walmart in the USA still released it at the original $27 price which also puts the set down for me. Edit since I forgot to include it: the build itself also isn't great. It's a small and inaccurate rendition of a swamp speeder which we never saw the 332nd use and also never saw in any colour scheme other than grey and red, not the blue used in this set.

@@GHOULY782 I literally did not mention the helmet holes affecting the print anywhere in my comment. My issue with them is how much they stick out. The bigger issue I have with the new helmet mould though is the ridge that goes all the way around. This was not present on the previous mould and is not a feature on 'real' Clone helmets. If they added the holes but not this ridge I'd be much more forgiving of the new design, and I do believe this ridge is what is actually to blame for issues with the 212th helmet print. As for Vaughn, you can't use him as a plain trooper due to his rank badge and jetpack prints. Sure, he could be a generic officer (which is what I use mine as) but at that point you're just making stuff up to justify LEGO's poor effort.

“IKEA astromech” still busts me up. I agree on the Ghost, but I’d have but the Venator higher, but I wanted the Clone Wars version over Episode III. They really could’ve done Rex better. Cloth capes isn’t be much to ask for in a UCS set.

@@MandRproductions I think that they’re all pretty good, excluding Vaughn, Vaughn is absolutely trash, I’ll give you that. Buttt imo, helmet holes aren’t the end of the world to me on the new clones. Yes, they could look incredibly better design wise, but there really isn’t a great way to make the holes look any better than how they do. If they were to move the hole downwards and completely remove the bump on the side, the holes would look significantly better, but then the visor attachment wouldn’t align properly above the actual visor. So honestly, I think it’s a fair compromise, unless they did decide to remove the holes completely, which would alleviate the problem, but I for one, want the holes to exist on the new clones. I like being able to have the option to customize clones and put different accessories on them, like Lego has always done for clone troopers (for the most part). So imo, this set definitely deserved a lower ranking, it isn’t nearly as bad as people make it out to be. But hey, everyone has their own opinions, that’s what makes everyone different.

One more thing I would like to add, the main build for the 332nd battle pack is actually very solid, as you stated in the video.

The quality of your videos have really improved the transitions and displays are so clean.

The Worst to First video format and editing really feels like it's improved a lot! Great job Ryan, (and yeah, I love these types of videos)

Glad you put the Tie Bomber so high. It's always been one of my favourites from the films and to get such a great lego model was amazing. I've seen it on sale for months so i dont know how well its sold, but glad to see you call out how great it is (even if I agree the 40th anniv brick makes no sense).

It’s definitely been a great year for some great ships!

What you do for the guard gunship is you unattach the clip above the door when then you can fit your hand in more.

Lego Star Wars had lots of ups and downs this year. HOWEVER, I feel like the most well-rounded set this year was the Ghost & Phantom

I totally agree about the Executor. It was a fabulous set and I love having it in my collection. It really could have flipped with the Ghost in your list. I love both the sets. Love these kinds of videos.

As an adult with kids and finite space, the midi scale is perfect for me. Hope to see more of them. I can actually afford to collect them and have space to display them.

Great ranking video as always! Keep up the amazing work!

I love these worst to first videos so much. I watch them all the time! Can’t wait for 2024 lego Star Wars.

The Executor Super Star Destroyer is also a good way to get the parts to form a miniature Imperial Venator, if you’re willing to rely on fan-made alt build instructions.

With the USC name plates, the plastic molding system lego uses requires those marks to remove them from the mold. It needs to be in a particular spot as to not break the price during removal. Putting it on the back would interfere with the brick connection system, it could also break the piece if placed on the back.

God I wish they make midiscale models of all the capital ships, they would be so cool

Boba mech is easily the best. The fig is one you’d get in a ucs set Edit: haha lol you agree. It truly is one of my fav figs of all time

Yes! Here we go!!! So excited

Definitely the venator and i feel like thorn would be a nice inclusion in the gunship

I like to collect the Advent calendars every year. The little builds I find fun doing, usually get good minifigs, and I love the Christmas Eve ugly sweater character.

Personally i think the mechs are worse than the 332nd battlepack but the low ranking is worth it. I bought 5 of the of 501st and have 3 of the new specialist one, and planning on at least 1 more, but I just can't get behind getting a bunch of the new 332nd. I'll probably only get 2 to have a decent squad

The studs in the Super Star Destroyer ia great

Great ranking! The Emperor's Throne Room Diorama (75352) is my personal favorite 2023 Star Wars set. The biggest drawback is the price, I was able to get one for $65 from stacking Meijer coupons. When people pick these up for $40-60 in 2024 sales they'll be very satisfied!

20:45 I LOVE THAT CLONE TROOPER It’s not my favourite in the set. I’m still choosing between it and the clone specialist

With the Captain Vaughn they needed to either make a good Vaughn or just don't include him at all. They arguably went with the worst option by going in the middle of the two.

Yeah, I think you're right on regretting not putting the Midi-ISSD at 1st place. That's where I'd put it. And I'd have put the Throne Room Diorama in 3rd place with the TIE-Bomber in 2nd place...only because LEGO insists on using that new garbage molde for the Emperor's "hood" that looks more like he has a shower towel draped around his head. The UCS Venator is a nice 4th place in my book mostly because I think it's a bit overpriced and it's a The Clone Wars set, which is something I really couldn't care less about. It'd be higher if they had made it either a Republic Venator or an Imperial Venator as seen in Revenge of the Sith. The Ghost would be a comfortable 5th place to me.
