    There is something special about retro lego, before all the licenced stuff.

      Licensed stuff has its place, but it’ll never be as magical as these amazing originals.

    Something about the older mini figures that the new Lego just doesn't capture. It doesn't have the same spirit. My kids love the new sets but will actually replace all the faces/heads with ones from my old sets from the late 80s and 90s. They love watching videos like this.

    Love this! The 1996 Western theme was one of my favorites as a kid (though it was soon eclipsed by Adventurers) but I never got the bigger sets. Last year I saw a Gold City Junction set in a video of one of my local LEGO resale stores, and debated for a few weeks about getting it. Fortunately it was still there when I did go. It was pretty cool to finally see the banker and Flatnose minifigures in person after all those years. :)

      All the main characters have a solid case for being #1! For me, it eventually had to come down to my own nostalgic connections. Black Bart is a first-class minifig in any case.

    I love the unlicensed themes sooo much! Great legos and more imaginative in my eyes. My main goal with legos is collecting all the Pirates (80's - current ones) and the western themes. Adventurers are another one i want. I do say licensed sets do tend to have more elaborate printing but at most i just use them as parts for others 😆

    Another great video, loved seeing such a nice presentation of the Western figs. At some point when I was younger I had built a small Western town at one point and the centerpiece was a color-swapped #1352 Explosion Studio, which felt very at home with the other western buildings (and the ability to blow up helped).
    (alsoooooooo LEGO Studios Retro Rewind when?)
    It's a bit of an interesting theme for me, where I don't like the figures enough to seek them out and buy them on their own now, but I'm very glad to have most of already in my collection. Such special minifigure designs for the time.
