The LEGO Star Wars Technic Droideka (Destroyer Droid) from 2000 might just secretly be the best LEGO Star Wars set ever! Just kidding... but really this thing is incredible and has some really cool history behind it.

  • Ryan's face looked like a kid in a candy store when the Destoyer droid pop open!
  • @fritz404
    These technic sets are so underrated, I remember getting some second hand a few years ago they were a blast to put together
  • @cooperchiacchia
    Roll to pop out feature gotta be one of the best play features in a Lego Star Wars set ever! :)
  • @ASOC4
    "isn't that just awesome? it's just awesome!" pretty much summarizes this Droideka and its playfunction
  • @Thenorm127
    Crazy how an AAT made of technic somehow has better proportions than the 2020 brick built version
  • @davidcoulter1058
    They could release this set today and it would legitimately be good.
  • @mattmakesthings
    It’s really great to see you doing these reviews of older sets that no one else would do or spend the time and effort on, especially the alternate build. What a great set, though I do really love the look of the new one that’s about to come out.
  • @corja
    I still have it built, 24 years!!! but it does need new rubber bands. They all failed over time. Thanks for this, and as you say. Best play feature for a SW set ever.
  • @jmac2064
    The technic pit droid (8000) and battle droid (8001) both have alternate builds included in the instructions. Pit droid is a speeder bike and the battle droid is an AT-ST.
  • @itstatter5585
    I always admired this set in the old visual dictionary
  • @FabuBrik
    Feels like old man yells at cloud moment, but early LEGO sw sets had a charm that is in no way carried through to today's sets. Not just nostalgia either, but filled with creativity.
  • This is soo nostalgic for me. That was my first big Lego technic set. I was play with it my whole childhood, than just give up my legos for some kids, and never seen after. Looking forward for this new droideka to refresh my nostalgia.
  • I definitely agree as i said in my previous comment on the new droideka review you did. This is the most well done lego set ever. I had it in 2002, btw, and it still works.
  • @dylanvogel5504
    I have the Technic Battle Droid from this series. Maybe the coolest set I own. Can fold up and pop open. Can also draw its blaster from a holster on its back using magnets. And it came with extra colored pieces so you can build it as a standard battle droid, red security battle droid, or yellow command battle droid. Found it for like $100 last year, unopened
  • @thebrickbiker
    Ever since the new Droideka got revealed, I was hoping you would do a review on this! Great review as always! Can't wait for a comparison video, and the 2000 UCS Tie Interceptor review as well!
