LEGO Star Wars Boarding the Tantive IV 75387 review! The one with Fives and the hallway...

To be fair in the original scene vader never uses his lightsaber

10:32 Not Wedge Antilles but Captain Raymus Antilles. :-)

Lots of folks nitpicking your lightsaber point - I’d be willing to bet kids will be excited to give Vader a combat scene with a lightsaber!

Re: Vader's pose - another row of studs would have been ideal, but in the scene from the movie, I don't think he has the lightsaber out when the door is blown open.

The door is probably designed for stormtroopers to pass through like the opening of ANH. Vader being the first to pass through doesnt make sense in the context of ANH, and in Rogue One he was on the mon calamari flagship and never made it to the Tantive IV so that wouldnt make sense anyway

The panels that you’re thinking may be battle damaged are just black technical panels that are part of the ships design. You can see them on the hallway of the ship as it’s seen at the end of revenge of the sith when senator organa, and Captain Antilles are talking about deleting C-3PO‘s memory.

4:50 I mean, he's not SUPPOSED to be holding his lightsaber in this scene. He's supposed to just be ominously walking down the hallway behind his troops.

Not sure why LEGO used a flat piece of cloth for the pauldrons, they did great on that one ARC trooper from 2012, still glad to have a Fives, hope we get Echo too, not Bad Batch Echo, but ARC trooper Echo

The only thing I think is wrong with the stormtroopers is you can't move their heads around, the oversized chin of the helmet prevents movement completely

I really hope we get more diorama style sets that aren't officially dioramas. I'll be getting two and build one as an almost mirror version so I can have one long hallway

Vader's awkward pose and placement is some Spaceballs level of comedy.

But seriously, they couldn't just add another row of studs?

I like when you show the box relative to the set in the beginning. Great review.

Getting ripped off a little bit is (sometimes) more psychologically challenging to get over than getting ripped off a lot… Personally I’m waiting for a discount here; $40 US is the highest I will go - but I’m happy to see it on the market and the design and build seems pretty good overall too. Great review Jang!

You've gotta love the Rebel seemingly being Force-yeeted through the hatch, as if Vader did that off camera in the movie. 😀

Another fantastic review, JANG! I've been following your channel since your 2011 HF reviews and wholeheartedly admire your real and genuine approach to LEGO content - very refreshing in this age of influencers and LEGO-sponsored content creators! I make sure to like every video you post!

You raise some excellent points for Boarding the Tantive IV. I'm personally not a fan of the "combination" gimmick LEGO suggests here as buying this set just once is already no small investment. I hadn't really considered the asymmetrical paneling to be battle damage from the blasterfire and I see what you mean about the sticker sheet being a different color match. I do think there's broader potential for Star Wars 'hallway' sets though and am very happy to see location-based sets like this.

Keep up the great work!

That silly shoulder paldron looks like Fives is doing Shakespeare. He'd probably fit better there, too.

I mean can you blame the guy for having a “lazy lightsaber carry” considering his suit was made specifically to make it hard for him to keep his arms up

great review as always jang, been here since the hero factory days!

I love how the "blasted" door looks and that play feature is quite smooth. Honestly not super keen on the other action features of knocking the characters over. I sorta think this set is primed for modifying/customizing, and I am very confused about why/how one would connect a second set to this. Good review as always. I am starting to do an experiment where I mute the video where you say how much the set is, and during the review, I figure out what it might or should be priced at. My conclusion was $45, but with as many minifigs as it comes with, $50. So $5 more than that is not bad. I think it is the amount of minifigs that causes this to be a bit higher, but it's not a bad deal and clearly doubles as a play set and display set.

I’m praying this shows up at my sams club. I catch so many gem sets at half price, and there ain’t any way I’m paying over 40 for this.
