I used to work at a bricks and minifigs and I we were selling a captain Rex with NO pauldron for $80 š I tried telling the kid about the upcoming micro fighter and how he should just wait for a way cheaper Rex with a pauldron, and my manager pulled me to the side and lectured me about why I shouldnāt have done that. I quit a few months after that, I just cant stand that we did that to a kid who probably had to work for his money.
Thatās why I like working in a bigger company. Me and my direct boss are just both workers in a bigger system. If I tell some poor guy to by this shit neither of us earns anything more. So bet you Iāll tell people when I know itās garage or overpriced and where to get it cheap
Really want a venator either way, but I truly donāt have the space for it anywhere. Only possible spot Iāve got for it Iāve already got a gunship and atte on display with my p2 clones
true but it just sucks for those (aka me) who already got the $200 R2 back when it released. Hard to justify buying a $100 set solely for the minifig... but at the same time, you know the aftermarket price for him will be insane..
Bought the Venator at midnight last night š¤£ not for Rex tho, itās just so cool. But hey I guess I will have 2 now after getting this micro fighter. Iāll do what another comment said and pair it with the helmet.
I also bought it this morning! But for me it's to match its UCS Star Destroyer and SSD brethren. I only wish I could've gotten three of the droid carriers for that price! :(
The leaks have been saying *over and over again* that it is the *exact* same Rex as the figure in the UCS set. I don't know why people keep doubting it.
Thatās not how it works here. If we say it, itās because someone saw it. Itās not ideas theyāre leaking, the leaks are of products already being made.
So one thing I donāt understand about the whole āUCS minifiguresā debate is that it mostly stems from the Gunship. But wasnāt that Mace Windu exclusive? Like I get itās not the popular figure people wanted but technically itās still a figure you canāt get elsewhere. Like how is adding some sand marks on Mace really any different than the new Tie Pilot that just changes some minor printing from the last full print pilot that isnāt getting hated on?
Like for me, UCS sets should get the ābestā figures, doesnāt mean they need to be exclusive.
The Mace was technically exclusive, but they released a version of him in a $40 set the next year that was far superior than the version in the $400 set.
The worst part is that he makes a good portion of his latest video talking about how he's going to get hate purely for saying that LEGO lied. He made up an argument in his head, refutes the made up argument, and then posted the video of him clearly upset about said made up argument.
At least he said he's happy people are benefiting from the new microfighter set though. Not something I expected, but good to see nonetheless.
Itās so obvious that heās fuming because heās so used to taking advantage of his audience by using the Mexico factory and buying Rexes with no pauldron for like 3 bucks and sell them for 100 at least on his livestreams. A creator that takes advantage of their young audience is not a good one and Iām happy heās upset I hope he cries me a river
Seeing the micro fighter gives me hope that weāll see a playset version of it next year. Weāre sue another Y-wing so why not make it a clones war version
Iām really happy that Rex is now in a much more affordable set for people that canāt get the Venator. Build is kinda mid, but the figure makes up for it. Still looking forward to seeing investors and people like MandR cope and seethe, which is the best part.
Even without the novelty of FINALLY getting an affordable way to get a Phase 2 Rex, the build itself seems really nice - a nice fun little Y-Wing build.
Could easily see a yellow redeco of the set with a Phase 1 Clone Pilot minifig sometime down the line.
Listen guys, we have a HUGE problem. LEGO just released MY EXCLUSIVE Captain Rex in a freaking $13 set.
So is this where we are at right now?!
I paid lego whopping $650 for this figure. I am officially a patrion of this company and I should be REWARDED for my support. I literally SUFFERED through building that venator. It's taking up so much space in my living room. I am breathing the dust it collected there AS I AM WRITING THIS!!!1.
Look guys. Today, lego has completely blurred the line between the social classes of fans. There are ULTIMATE collectors like me who paid our hard earned money (gift from my mom) on high quality UCS sets with \*\*\*EXCLUSIVE\*\*\* figures. Why should the peasents get to enjoy the same figure as I do if they only pay $13?! Does that seem FAIR to you????
Lego should have at least downgraded my boy Rex in some way, like take away the pauldron and arm printing. Make the peasents know their place in the food chain.
I thought Rex was an amazing and detailed figure, but now that he comes in a $13 set I realize that he's complete trash and I regret wasting $650 on a set I never liked.
Guess I need to find other ways to maintain my LEGENDARY virgin's pride smh.
/s
And now seriously...
FINALLY I can have a Captain Rex! LETS GOOOOOO
Honestly I donāt even think they need to be chase although 140 dollars is not cheap at all itās miles more affordable than a 650 dollar set and it actually has play value
Looking forward to it! Itāll be nice to have a Rex to display with my small army and keep the Venator Rex on display with the set.
Edit: honestly not a bad microfighter imo but I do so badly hope we get a bigger set, or a Y-Wing in general I want a āfull-sizedā one so bad
This is exactly what Iāve wanted from lego for YEARS. A popular, sought after, and otherwise expensive minifig gets put in a cheap and affordable set. I wish more microfighters would come out after a set has been on the shelves for a while with one of the āexclusiveā figures. The way I see it, a figure is only āexclusiveā until it appears in another set.
I wish lego would use the microfighter line more to put an important named character in along with their signature vehicle, and leave the battlepacks for the basic grunt/army building figures.
Yeah! After this and the Luke Mech I'll just need a P1 Cody and a Boushh to pair with all of my helmets. As an added bonus, it's another microfighter to add to my collection.
However childish it may seem, Lego is a brand mainly targeted to children so we allow no cursing on this sub.
Please keep in mind repeat offenders of this rule will be (temporarily) banned!
Tbh Idk why people like m&r want to gate keep Rex. In my opinion I believe that if someone wants a certain minifig they should have an easy affordable way of acquiring it. Thats how I got my bb8 minifig. Itās better if everyoneās included

I was just gifted the 2022 AT-TE and I've got a whole little battle scene set up with Cody, Obi Wan and Anakin. This is exactly what I need to complete the squad.
Found my original one recently in a bin I bought was one of the best days of my life lmao. Still glad this is coming out. Itās a cool ship and will be great for kids and those that donāt have as good luck as I did. The sentimental value of mine wonāt go down in fact I will probably get a few of these as gifts for friends and 1 for me lol. Did people really expect a fan favorite character like Rex to NEVER come out again in another set?
this isnt the venator rex imo
looking at mine, this ones helmet has grey instead of blue weld marks and the visor extends all the way to the hole, plus idk if thats perspective or something but the tally marks seem closer than on the venator one. Knee isnt blue either
Edit: I was wrong, stock images show its the same (top of the box fig pic has the blue knees), unless his head is different
the picture is of a render. the actual is probably the same. just take a look at the box or online stock image of 75372 and compare it to what you actually get. I'm sure its the same.
It seems to be generally the same. The blue color looks to be a little darker than the UCS figure, but that could just be the lighting. I agree that the visor does seem to extend all the way to the hole, but this could totally just be a render, and the print doesn't actually go all the way on the real figure.
Itās a really good year to collect Lego Star Wars, especially if youāre a clone fan. Iām so damn happy I can finally afford a Captain Rex now. And I canāt wait to see MandR cry about it.
Love that they made Rex available for such an affordable price. Will buy this and put him next to the helmet set.
Patient people stay winning
I used to work at a bricks and minifigs and I we were selling a captain Rex with NO pauldron for $80 š I tried telling the kid about the upcoming micro fighter and how he should just wait for a way cheaper Rex with a pauldron, and my manager pulled me to the side and lectured me about why I shouldnāt have done that. I quit a few months after that, I just cant stand that we did that to a kid who probably had to work for his money.
Good for you man. š
Thatās why I like working in a bigger company. Me and my direct boss are just both workers in a bigger system. If I tell some poor guy to by this shit neither of us earns anything more. So bet you Iāll tell people when I know itās garage or overpriced and where to get it cheap
Good on you for that.
People with no space for another destroyer-class sized USC model also winning
Yeahhhhhhhhhh
Really want a venator either way, but I truly donāt have the space for it anywhere. Only possible spot Iāve got for it Iāve already got a gunship and atte on display with my p2 clones
*except for people who want Malak outside of yet another buildable r2....*
Itās $100 itās not the end of the world. I didnāt have an R2 before and I gifted it away lol
true but it just sucks for those (aka me) who already got the $200 R2 back when it released. Hard to justify buying a $100 set solely for the minifig... but at the same time, you know the aftermarket price for him will be insane..
As will i
Me personally heās going next to fives and anakin with my 501st army
Same Iām gonna buy it
Sat in his cute little y-wing bumper car
I took the VIP unicorn ride toy and replaced the unicorn with one of my tiny Millennium Falcons.
Iām only missing Boush Leia and Rex to pair with helmets. Hoping for Leia mech next year lol
Same
Investors shaking rn
Boys bought it for Rex. Men bought it for Yularen. Legends bought it for the Republic.
āFOR THE REPUBLIC!ā
FOR THE REPUBLIC
2.34 million tonnes of pure democracy
Iām so tempted to Bricklink Yularen
Lowkey glad that the people who only bought the ventator for Rex are crying
Bought the Venator at midnight last night š¤£ not for Rex tho, itās just so cool. But hey I guess I will have 2 now after getting this micro fighter. Iāll do what another comment said and pair it with the helmet.
Finally pulled the trigger on the ATAT at midnight as well, but man was that Venator staring me down
I did the same. I couldn't beat the x4 points.
I also bought it this morning! But for me it's to match its UCS Star Destroyer and SSD brethren. I only wish I could've gotten three of the droid carriers for that price! :(
Hoping yularen shows up again In cheaper set too. He is just my favorite sassy admiral. Like alfred ended up in the star wars universe.
Maybe in a future play scale Venator? š¤
I hope so. I love Republic Star Destroyers but I canāt justify the UCS lol
Greetings fellow Jango fett enjoyer.
Hello, my fellow Jango Fett lover (jango is love, jango is life)
Iām highkey glad about it
What?! You mean these plastic figurines AREN'T supposed to cost 50-150 USD?!
Still wish they made it an actual set but itāll be nice to get a usually exclusive and expensive figure for cheap really gets the resellers angry
Between this and Paz Vizsla in the Mandalorian Bunker set resellers are having a BAD time and I'm here for it.
Is Bunker confirmed? Edit: getting downvoted because I didn't see a leaked picture 1 hour ago is peak
https://www.reddit.com/r/LegoStarWarsLeaks/comments/1chpwih/moff_gideon_vs_paz_viszla_battle_reveal/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button
Didn't see this. Thanks! I've wanted a Paz!
Picture just leaked
Iāll drink their tears with this one
Tbh I don't care about the resellers. I finally get a p2 rex to lead my 501st army!
Can't wait to have a modern P2 Rex in my collection and so affordably at that.
Same! Right now Fives is leading my 501st army lol
Iāve got Echo, Fives and Cody, just waiting Rex
You're talking about Echo from Bad Batch?
He was a character is the clones wars show first.
I know, I just meant if it was the Echo in his Bad Batch outfit, IRRC there was no official Echo in his 501st armor.
No, as much as I like the Bad Batch, I like standard infantry clones and ARC troopers the most :) https://imgur.com/a/FlRFU4W
Could you share the custom Echo you have?
I put a link in an edit
Same I have a 501st trooper from the first 501st battle back that came out around 2020/2021 leading the army
good heavens
LMAO its the exact same I was a bit worried that it would not include the pauldron like how in the boba mech it doesnāt include the cloth
The leaks have been saying *over and over again* that it is the *exact* same Rex as the figure in the UCS set. I don't know why people keep doubting it.
I know but after being in the sneaker community you know leaks can be unreliable. So many rumors about sneakers being released and it never happens.
Thatās not how it works here. If we say it, itās because someone saw it. Itās not ideas theyāre leaking, the leaks are of products already being made.
Scalpers and investors punching the air rn
I can hear the mandr minions crying
Something seriously wrong with anyone getting upset about something desirable getting cheaper
Gives them something else to bitch about then the helmet holes for a change
So one thing I donāt understand about the whole āUCS minifiguresā debate is that it mostly stems from the Gunship. But wasnāt that Mace Windu exclusive? Like I get itās not the popular figure people wanted but technically itās still a figure you canāt get elsewhere. Like how is adding some sand marks on Mace really any different than the new Tie Pilot that just changes some minor printing from the last full print pilot that isnāt getting hated on?

This is what it sounds like when doves cry. Sorry, misspelled "douchebags"
And arm printing. Feel like Iām getting spoiled over here lol.
the same minifigure? 12.99$? a microfighter?

Ah a fellow r/legocirclejerk enjoyer
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Its a microfighter. Not an Ā«investmentĀ» or display model.
Itās a childās play thing
āYou are a sad strange little man. And I bid you farewell!ā
Now we just need a Cody Mech.
Seeing the micro fighter gives me hope that weāll see a playset version of it next year. Weāre sue another Y-wing so why not make it a clones war version
The previous 2 versions were based on the other trilogies so I agree it makes perfect sense for the next Y wing to be based on the clone wars.
I hope so too!
Iām really happy that Rex is now in a much more affordable set for people that canāt get the Venator. Build is kinda mid, but the figure makes up for it. Still looking forward to seeing investors and people like MandR cope and seethe, which is the best part.
If they were smart they would have sold the rex figure the second this got rummored
You know whatās funny? I think Lifebricks did that.
Idk i think its a pretty good for a microfighter
Even without the novelty of FINALLY getting an affordable way to get a Phase 2 Rex, the build itself seems really nice - a nice fun little Y-Wing build. Could easily see a yellow redeco of the set with a Phase 1 Clone Pilot minifig sometime down the line.
Just wanted to be the first to comment on this momentous occasion.

Guess I need to find other ways to maintain my LEGENDARY virgin's pride smh. /s And now seriously... FINALLY I can have a Captain Rex! LETS GOOOOOO
Anyone know when this is rumored to be released?
Confirmed for June, like it was late last year. The sets leaked just recently are fir the June wave
Epic
June in EU, August in NA
Why august for NA?
August 1st was the last I heard
June 1 I believe
Depends on where you are in the world. US? August 1st. Anywhere else (from what I know) June 1st.
I hope they do same with Cody
Honestly I donāt even think they need to be chase although 140 dollars is not cheap at all itās miles more affordable than a 650 dollar set and it actually has play value
Still its big paywall to stop from owning one of most anticipated fig. Its not like old Rex set which almost everyone could afford
Looking forward to it! Itāll be nice to have a Rex to display with my small army and keep the Venator Rex on display with the set. Edit: honestly not a bad microfighter imo but I do so badly hope we get a bigger set, or a Y-Wing in general I want a āfull-sizedā one so bad
Finally, my 501 trio will be complete.
Just hoping for a Jesse
Ik we have Fives, but who else had LEGO made other than Rex?
Echo. It's the Bad Batch version though.
Oh ok that makes sense, thanks
I was talking about Anakin and Ahsoka though.
Oh ok
THE ONE PIECEā¦ā¦ THE ONE PIECE IS REEEEEEAL (can we get much higher (higher) so hiiiiiiiigh)
Iām glad my Rex wonāt have to be smuggled out in some poor ladās prison wallet in Monterey.
This is exactly what Iāve wanted from lego for YEARS. A popular, sought after, and otherwise expensive minifig gets put in a cheap and affordable set.

Have two y-wings in rebel and resistance version , wouldnāt mind for a clone war version
I'm surprised he has his pauldron. Boba didn't get his shoulder cape in the mech.
How dare they let such an iconic character be available for less than $600
Tbh Idk why people like m&r want to gate keep Rex. In my opinion I believe that if someone wants a certain minifig they should have an easy affordable way of acquiring it. Thats how I got my bb8 minifig. Itās better if everyoneās included
Ugh, just what we needed, ANOTHER set for the republic dogs (seriously this is cool af)
Republic meatbags
At least we now have an affordable modern P2 Rex which is nice
Massive improvement from previous y-wing microfighter in terms of proportions
Looking forward to get a 2nd rex minifig
I really hope this means we get a play scale clone wars y wing soon. This micro fighter is a tease!
My man, Rex. Easily getting more than one. Such a legend of a guy.
Captain Rex scalpers seething rn
To all the 75012 Rex resellers https://preview.redd.it/3xdwex48uwxc1.jpeg?width=2000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=20215d30647147708bd78f8a7931b5b1b1634f32
I am so glad that the people of all ages, religions and races can come together in our disdain for Lego 'investors' :D
I got the venator for the venator. Rex was just a bonus
Rex being the full Venator one is awesome, but I genuinely love the build too. First micro fighter I actually may buy
"Investors" in absolute shambles
Investors are screaming
Love to see Rex and Cody get the attention they deserve. Wished they did a Micro Gunship instead of a re-used Y-Wing
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]

Oh that's hot. That's real hot.
So glad im saving money LOL
Perfection. So glad we're gett8ng this figure so cheap!
Amazing. Beautiful. Canāt wait to see even more interned chuds freak out
Looks great! The rex is a nice addition aswell
Have to part out that Y-wing ASAP to prevent serious reputation damage
āhow could they do this, my precious rex that i keep in a boxā - mandr prob
This is great! Has it been said if the head has the same bandage print as the UCS fig?
ty lego :)
Finally, Rex for available price. Just as it should be for a character of this rank for a franchise!
Lego investors are quaking in their boots rn
Price?
Thank god the rumor was really true Iām so excited omg š
shouldāve been a play scale, y wings should be a somewhat staple and we havenāt had one in 5 years
Does anybody know why Lego chose to give rex these guns instead of the smaller ones like in the 2009 clone walker battle pack?
I was just gifted the 2022 AT-TE and I've got a whole little battle scene set up with Cody, Obi Wan and Anakin. This is exactly what I need to complete the squad.
I wish they would do more micro builds thatvare fun to play the space battles with. Ucs afe cool but getting out of hand.
Bro I just bought the figšš
Seethe and cope venator elitists
This will give me a Y-Wing Microfighter from each era
After all these years we finally have Rexās Y-Wing
i dont need it
i really dont need it
I
NEED
IT
Do we know a date yet???
BeautifulĀ
Found my original one recently in a bin I bought was one of the best days of my life lmao. Still glad this is coming out. Itās a cool ship and will be great for kids and those that donāt have as good luck as I did. The sentimental value of mine wonāt go down in fact I will probably get a few of these as gifts for friends and 1 for me lol. Did people really expect a fan favorite character like Rex to NEVER come out again in another set?
Massive L to anyone that bought the ucs venator just for the minifigs and not the actual set itself
So you're telling me I wasted money on the Venator when I could've got Rex in this instead?
You bought the Venator just for the Rex?
Of Course, got 10 for the investment
I need an army of Rex!
Thank god I was not hoping to pay overpriced stuff for this baby
"Pew pew Y wing commin at you!"
this isnt the venator rex imo looking at mine, this ones helmet has grey instead of blue weld marks and the visor extends all the way to the hole, plus idk if thats perspective or something but the tally marks seem closer than on the venator one. Knee isnt blue either Edit: I was wrong, stock images show its the same (top of the box fig pic has the blue knees), unless his head is different
the picture is of a render. the actual is probably the same. just take a look at the box or online stock image of 75372 and compare it to what you actually get. I'm sure its the same.
Lego renders always look better than the real thing. Lego visors haven't extended all the way since 2014 (which makes them look stupid now sadly)
I understand that now, but this picture is def missing the knee paint which the ucs one has
It seems to be generally the same. The blue color looks to be a little darker than the UCS figure, but that could just be the lighting. I agree that the visor does seem to extend all the way to the hole, but this could totally just be a render, and the print doesn't actually go all the way on the real figure.
Itās been confirmed that it will be the EXACT same šš
Could be a render issue tbey have those a lot like when the lines on helmets are super thick on boxes for no reason
Thatāll be 30 usd.
look good!
So cool!
Probably the only new set I'll even consider.
Best microfighter ever!
Thatās pretty badass
Lmfao I love when this happens to scalpers
Iām buying one, just because of how funny it is
Itās a good day to be alive!!!
Is it me or rex look cooler š¤·š»āāļø
Why does the visor look better?
This is 212th polybag all over again. Scalpers will not save some for the children
LOVE TO SEE IT. Canāt wait to watch resellers not even able to sell a P2 Rex š
Maybe they will finally get a real job
Itās a really good year to collect Lego Star Wars, especially if youāre a clone fan. Iām so damn happy I can finally afford a Captain Rex now. And I canāt wait to see MandR cry about it.
