JANGBRiCKS Nice vid 👍🏻
Jang just a suggestion for your quick video can you please provide your opinion and not just a walkthrough
And also another suggestion please create a scoring system like the Doug score and if you want seperate play and display sets
This is a Nice set
Read my mind, cheers mate
Great video
That mini Slave I is actually the most impressive part of the whole set to me. I actually want LEGO to release it on it's own, or at the very least a very similar version. The fact that the designer was able to capture all the essential details, including the moving flight stabilizers and still managed to make it be able to carry not only a Boba Fett figure but also carbonite frozen Han as well. I aspire to be that good! 😁 Great review as always Jang!
Yeah the existing standalone slave 1's are all too big and expensive for me
@@tychogoedhart286 the 20th anniversary one might be for you
I want a millennium falcon to be scaled down like this slave 1. I have both UCS set versions of the ships but I just want to be able to dog fight with the two famous ships in the galaxy
Fiona's Constellation they have it now :)
I wish LEGO would sell stand-alone, mid-tier ships like that Slave I. Something between minifig scaled ships and microfighters.
I know this is late but its kinda funny that ot goes from a small little ship then it goes all the way to minifig scaled set
I would definitely buy the cloud car if it was a set by itself.
Peace Korp of Krieg if it was a set it would most likely to be a micro fighter if they come back :/ but I see what you’re saying
There is a cloud car set it comes with the cloud car a miniature bespin and a lobot figure I got it from Legoland
13:38 100% PURE TODD HOWARD
TODD HOWARDS DONE IT AGAIN
As a teenager, there are three things I want in a Lego set, first and foremost is a fun build, second is the play value, even though most people my age wouldn't, I still like to be 8 again and play with the Lego, and finally I'd like it to look good/alright on display, it doesn't have to look amazing, just not bad.
I 100% agree. I am 14 and you are exactly right, I like fun builds and still the playability is always fun!
I relate to this comment on a spiritual level.
This should be my yearbook quote
I appreciate your viewpoint. I'm about to turn 16, but I still like to play around with the play features of the sets!
im almost 14, and this set would be amazing
Boba's Figure Design is already Amazing, but I think they should work on his Jetpack next.
Like if you Agree.
Landos cape is sweet. These minfigs will be very collectable in 10 years
I hope so because I just dropped like $150 on them lol
I wish they would make a UCS AT-ST.
They have...
They did
IMO, this entire set should have been sold in individual "rooms", or sections which could snap together and connect to make the final product we see here. That's the impression it gives me. What do you guys think of that idea?
Before I saw your comment, I was thinking the same thing
That's how the Star Wars Micro sets were sold in the early 80's
I loved them, wish LEGO would do the same.
Yeah, and that way lego could even put more detail into each segment
My thoughts exactly
Great Idea. The Carbonite Han room already exists. And you could skip the whole structure thing and use those bricks for bigger rooms. Love it!
I remember when I first saw this set. I couldn't understand WHY they made it. I still don't. It's just so meh... It's big and impressive (I guess...) but... why? I love star wars but never have I wanted a play with a set in cloud city. Are kids really getting this to play with? I feel like everyone who's buying this is past the point of playing with it. So... why? I'm genuinely curious if there are any kids out there who play with this thing though.
Honestly... I just display so idk.
I just got it for Christmas and I totally play with it...
Stormtroopers not shooting straight is simply rebel propaganda.
Finally somebody says it!
Rebel scum
EMPIRE DID NOTHING WRONG
AJ.K 02 YEAH THE REST OF THE CRUSADERS WILL AGREE TOO
The incredible design of the vehicles in this set makes me wish LEGO would do a whole range of these scaled down Star Wars vehicles. I think they would fly off the shelves.
Agreed, I'm rather put off by the size of most Lego Star Wars vehicle set in recent years.
Sure, it gives them great display details, but two near Kenner sized X-wings and TIE fighters are awkward to hold with my long adult arms.
This is why I loved the latest Tank sets from the Clone Wars, 25182 Republic Fighter Tank and 25080 AAT.
People complained they were too small, but like the Slave 1 and Cloud Car of this set, their compact builds hit all the needed design notes AND were handily swhooshable.
Jangbricks is like the bob Ross of Lego/bricks
Malachi Walters both of their voices are soothing
Yessss!😂
& IF YOU TELL ANYONE.. THAT, THAT BUSH IS THERE.....
Congratulations for 4000 videos on the Jangbricks channel! Thanks for bringing us quality reviews of these products and for building inspiring MOCs!
They should have included the guy with the ice cream maker.
Yet there is no Bespin Ice Cream man... *Reeeeeee*
I built this with my 4 year old who latched onto Star Wars after going to Disney World. He loves it and plays with it every day, more than he plays with any other set I ever got him. If you have a kid who loves Star Wars, this has to be one of the best sets in existence. Think about it: Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, R2D2, C3P0 Vader, Lando, a variety of storm troopers and imperial figures, Boba Fett and the carbonite, (which is VERY memorable for kids), the personnel, and two ships. What's the amount of money you spend to get all of that amount of stuff in smaller sets?
Look at the $130 Vader set...just getting Vader and 3 imperial troops is a better value? That's the reality with LEGO, you know? It does cost a lot of money compared to just buying toys. Fact is, you're going to spend a lot of money to get every major character in a modern look. And if you spend the bare minimum to get them, do you really get more play value from it?
Let's think about this: $25 for the Vader Transformation set. $20 for the Dewback with R2D2, C3PO and a storm trooper. $10 for a microfighter with Chewie. $30 for Luke, Leia and a Storm Trooper in Death Star Escape. $130 for the only other set on sale that has Boba Fett and Slave-1 with a modern Han Solo... but maybe you don't care about Slave-1 (my kid DOES) so you could get Han in the Mos Eisley set for $40 and get Greedo instead of Boba Fett. Now I guess you need to spend like $20 to get one of those sets with additional troopers, like the Drop Ship set, to get more miscellaneous figures to have adventures with. Now how do you get Lando? $40 Snow Speeder set? But that's an old style Lando, not the modern look. In any case. Let's say you did all this and now you have a similar collection of minifigs to the $350 Cloud City set. What did that cost, minimum? $25 + 20 + 10 + 30 + 40 + 20 + 40 = $185 minimum! And that's without Boba Fett. Look at the stuff you'd have, too. Vader's Transformation platform, an escape pod, a dewback, a tiny Millenium Falcon, a tiny Mos Eisley, a tiny drop ship (or whatever came with your troopers), and a snow speeder. No, sir, you do not get a good variety of stuff to have a sensible Star Wars adventure with all those dinky sets, it'd just be random tiny things that don't go together. $350 for a substantial cohesive set with meaningful minfigs that cover virtually all the major characters is better for me. I know that many parents don't care to think about the economics of it, but it's better to plop down $350 on a massive set and get everything at once than spend $20-40 over and over again for small uninteresting builds.
props to you 👍 parenting done right
Sadly it doesn't have the Ice cream guy.
I would definitely buy just the Slave I for like 20/30 bucks.
Since they changed the hair. They need a new Carbonite piece.
I generally like the set but would like to suggest some improvements;
1. Remove the landing pad; it looks awkward wedged in to the overall circular shape of the set.
2. Use the landing pad's quadrant to make a bigger Vader vs Luke area, with another balcony and "object throwing" room.
3. Next to the carbon freezing chamber add the iconic "hexagon" corridor.
4. Add some antenae to the bottom so Luke can hold on after escaping from Vader.
Would love to get some of these mini- sized vehicles on their own to actually get some of the stuff I'd otherwise be priced out of
As always a good review and good points. I think you're right to say that it's not worth the money for the play features you get. It seems to not be able to make up its mind detailed or play oriented. To me, this would have been better sold as 3 or 4 smaller, better value sets.
GJBricks, I agree totally. The Slave One would have made a nice set, also the twin pod ship.
This is a play set, I could see that from the early immages and knew it wasn't one I would pick up. If I gave my kids £300 and took them to the Lego Store, they wouldn't go for this with all the other sets that are out at the moment. Possibly that is because they are too young.
Target demographic is quite narrow for this set, I wonder how long this will be available.
Well I disagree. It wants to be both so let it. I like to say to myself "If this was cheaper would I be complaining this much" as the price shouldn't be the deciding factor as to if a set is good or bad. I'd say its worth it, you get all the major scenes and a bunch of cool minifigures. Also all toy series have those really expensive playsets. This is just one of those.
I'm pleased that the UCS Boba Fett is still an exclusive figure. I also feel that you gave a fair assessment of the set too.
As a 17 year old myself, i don't mind the look of this set. I just love that you get so many varied characters and so many areas to display those minifigures. It may be a bit tough to display but i'm still gonna pick it up at some point anyway.
I would prefer that LEGO made a series of small, separate sets to represent different parts of Cloud City.
And maybe have them able to connect into a circular shape? Using the Technic long bricks with holes and axles they could do something like the old castle sets or Hogwarts and they can fit together.
Honestly, it's a mediocre set, the only thing I really love is that beautiful Slave 1 build. In my opinion, they should have made separate sets for the more important scenes (Dining room, Luke vs Darth Vader duel, that Slave 1, etc...) and put some exposed pins in each so after you buy them, you can connect them.
@Puro 999 yes I think it's overpriced too
Wow I must've really fallen off the map, seeing this video in my recommendation was the first time I saw this set. I had heard the rumors but didn't know that it was actually released
Same.
I'm not entirely sure why collectors were so die hard for this set to return anyway. Sure, the original had some exclusive figures, but what else? Was it not designed to be a toy for children back in 2003? I believe the designers did the best they could've. People also forget there's not a whole lot with the source itself, being Cloud City, besides the carbon chamber and the duel. The remainder are loose rooms and hallways, making it harder to work as a toy product. Maybe the 2003 version worked for kids because it focused on the carbon chamber and the duel instead of every little room and detail.
I'm interested into hearing your thoughts! :)
I have to agree, as Jang said it was impossible to do this and not make 90 percent of people dissapointed, unless it would be ~800 bucks monster (maybe even then). I much prefer to have just tiny bits of really important stuff done separately (like the great little carbon freezing chamber set from few years back), just do a similliar set of the duel, cloud car and there, everyone is happy. Seeing this and the big Hoth set, i really hope they won't do the same mistake the third time around an make a UCS Cantina, because I feel it's going to be just as much of a letdown. I mean it's lego, AFOLs can just get the smaller sets for the figs and details and just make a huge model of their own.
Your white table makes it look like the set is floating above an abyss
I honestly really like this set! Mostly because Cloud City is one of my favorite areas in Star Wars. I like the interior and would definitely have fun recreating the movie scenes.
I reckon they shoulda split the rooms up into several smaller sets that act as 'modular' scene pieces that can build up a large set piece like the one there, whilst maintaining play features and also allowing MOC builders to make their own large cloud city build easily
I really like this set. It's a little rough around the edges (no pun) but once you get in there it becomes more screen distinct
Jang this comments kind of unrelated but your voice is really relaxing.
Its like Bob Ross 😂😂
I think a duel molded leg for 3po isn’t going to look as good as people think because it’s very subtle in the movies and if they used the silver color they are using would look really weird because of how shiny it is.
Amazing and immense set. I wish the prices for these big LEGO sets was more palatable. Spending over $300 on sets like this is just a no go, even for franchises I have more of an affinity for. Thanks for showing all the nooks and crannies!
Lego your playing with our money they could make an adult version of this probably
From what I see, the biggest flaw is the price, I can't imagine a kid picking this over a game system or something. They should release that slave 1 and cloud car as a $30 set. This would make a great medical center in your cyber punk city.
well i am...
You should be happy. They don't care if it sells well, they just wanted to make a fun playset and they did.
Good point I would of wanted a ps4 or a 100 dollar knex set if I was 13 or 14
Well thats true, there definitely aren't very many kids who would take this over a PS4. Thats...actually really sad, we got kids who'd rather have video games then this. XD But that much I can agree with
Absolutely! The huge problem LEGO has these days, is that you get so much more for your money elsewhere. $350 is a huge amount of money. Honestly, what would a kid prefer? A huge lump of plastic bricks that they will play with for a month and then get bored of. Or an iPod, iPad, Xbox One, PS4, Nintendo Switch, a bike, a new television, a laptop, a stereo system, endless amounts of Blu Rays or video games, etc, etc. You just get so little value for your money with LEGO these days. And not just with this set, with most of them.
I could buy 23 battle packs with $350. I think kids will much rather prefer a 92 man army with a bunch of pieces to build whatever they want with.
God I would have loved getting 23 battle packs worth of troops, droids, stormtroopers, and rebels as a child... if only we could afford that kind of money at the time though :(
But could you build a large city from it though? I wouldn’t buy just battle packs as a gift for x or y without supplementing it with other types of bricks, sets, etc.
shame they didn't update the carbonite block to match the new Han solo fig
Cuz Han Solos hair was definitely flowing and pristine when he was frozen. Forsure
Alexander Parraga yum yum
@@Ayeeduhnn Cuz Han Solo's hair will make a perfect dome when he's frozen. Forsure.
The Cloud Car is my favorite part of the build, it looks like it almost glows! Very pretty build
It comes to something when THIS isn’t classed as a UCS set, but Assault on Hoth is.
This wasn't called a UC's set because of hoth controversy
Evan Blenkinsopp this is part of a new line, master builder sets. Lego knew that everyone hates ucs hoth for sacrificing film accuracies for play features, so they made a new line. It is basically just ucs play sets. This line didn't exist when ucs hoth came out so they made it ucs just because of the size and price of it.
@@jamiep0495 But when did LEGO ever specify that UCS sets had to be perfectly movie accurate display sets?
As a kid I was always building starship and space station interiors with LEGO (mostly inspired by Star Trek though) and this set looks like an advanced version of the stuff I used to build myself. I would have LOVED to get my hands my hands on it if this set had come out in the nineties (it captures the atmosphere of Cloud City very well I think, and in my head I’m already thinking of how I could transform it into a Starfleet set, where to place the bridge, engineering, sickbay and a transporter room). Great work from the design team imo, and as always a very good and thorough review from Jang. 👌🏼
the best things about it are the bits that aren't attached to the main structure, the 2 vehicles and the carbon freezing chamber. still, while it's not great, that still looks ok overall, and an improvement over assault on hoth. also it may be designed for kids, but when I read the review on brickset, I discovered it's full of small details that only big fans will notice, personally, I remember some key scenes, like the dining room, the duel or the freezing chamber, but the rest I don't remember that well, so there's at least half of the set that doesn't mean much to me.
I think it should be priced as a $200.00 play set or make the carbonite room and the "I am your father" scene spaces separate $20-$30 sets.
Well they already have a relatively new carbonite freezing chamber priced at 25. And I am your father I think gave it character that it needed:) Definitely pricey, but a really good set nonetheless
Curtis Jordan yeah I agree
They did
www.thebrickfan.com/lego-star-wars-carbon-freezing-chamber-75137-review/
Check it out it comes with Han Solo Boba Fett Andy an ugsuganaut (Ignore the spelling) it’s a good set and I don’t intend for this comment to be rude I just wanted to let you know
there's already a carbonite set but no duel scene
You probably already know but there basically already was a "carbon freeze" set that came out in the last 2 years.
Lego NEEDS to start putting print on the back of R2 torso. If they can do dual molding legs surely they can put print on the back of a droid body.
The 2018 holiday LEGO catalog shows this as a UCS set
Hmm, is that so? They really should know better, because this is not an UCS!
Karemaker I agree. I was just saying that it’s odd that LEGO put the badge in the catalog but not anywhere else. It definitely shouldn’t be a UCS set, but they at least need to make up their mind about whether or not they’re going to call it one
25:50 insert the red arm meme but gold
I wish that Slave I end up as a set...
Is it the ship
Psyche i know
Good review!
I am looking at this set, and thought it would work better as 4 or 5 partial sets. Three main sets: the dining room with some general 'nice' spaces added, a 'black set' for robot disassembly and interrogation, and the first Fight & Freezing room. Three rather large sets that could be connected in different ways (circular, line up etc). And one or two 'external' sets; the final battle scene and the landing zone, possible with the (indeed very nice) vehicles. Not bigger than this, just 4 separate sets, each about 80 dollars...
Would like to see it compared to the Deathstar
I would easily name this as the better set. Sure, it's not pretty, but I would definitely take this over that overpriced "remake".
Wonderful set for minifigures.
a Jedi temple in this style would be awesome
It's certainly not bad... I feel like it would have worked and looked better though if they wouldn't have tried so hard to commit to Cloud city's circular shape and would have stuck to more conventional square shapes, maybe with a quarter of it really being the actual circular shape with also the walls and ceiling curving in.
It would be cool if they sold each quadrant separately for 1/4 of the price of the full thing. Maybe make it more accessible for everyone.
Could include a 'roof-cover' with one of those quarters to give a stronger sense of that distinctive Cloud-City shape to those that want it.
A playset without play features...
Oh excuse me, I forgot the sliding doors
I feel that we honestly needed it, we haven’t gotten a cloud city set in years
Yeah..
350 $ is the Betrayal at Cloud City :D
Hans Gans lol
Haha!
It’s $270 now lol
Personally, I think they should have just focused on the carbon freezing chamber and the weather vane. All these tiny rooms that serve no purpose to collectors or children really is a waste. I think most children would have more fun in the carbon freeze chamber pretending to freeze different figures. Also you could have Luke fight Vader.
Interesting new look for Lego Star Wars. For the past couple years it seemed that they were shooting for larger and more realistic ships. Now in 2018-2019 they are aiming for a more play set oriented look. You can see it here, how the Slave 1 is smaller than the ones seen in the past, but I like this. Although I haven't touched Legos in some years now, it reminds me of how the sets were in my childhood (late 90s and early 2000s).
Yes and I love this. I really like LEGO Star Wars sets but I’m not passionate enough to buy a 150$ X wing. Now I can get one for 30 bucks.
Centaursixtysix haha exactly. I just came to the conclusion that since the year is 2019, the sets are being made to resemble the classics that started in 1999. There’s even original figures coming with some of the sets as anniversary pieces.
I just want the tiny Slave I
it's cute.
I have been looking forward to this...
Is it bad that my favorite part of the set is the microscale Cloud City on the very top middle of the set. It looks really nice.
Absolutelt not. I think it looks nice too.
Why would that be a bad? You've got the designers' eye.
That "secret trap door" is where luke would hold onto after fighting vader until the falcon picks him up
Dr Wolf good idea
I agree with your assessment of this set (great and honest in-depth-review of you - as always). Some nice work done by a designer tasked with an impossible job - but I don't see the target group for this. It isn't adult collectors or TFOLS and most kids either won't know the 40 year old movie or won't have the money or space to put this. Heck, I have a quite large house and would not know where to put this!
What I do like (and what I hope will be a trend for LEGO in the future) are the MIDI-scale vehicle builds (I whish those were also sold seperately). The current Sandcrawler is another example of this trend. I think it is nice (and propably wise from an economic standpoint) of LEGO to make these affordable versions of bigger sets now and then.
Trust me kids have seen ESB
They should have hid the mechanism for the freezing chamber
I love the scaling of the Slave I ... looks fun and swhooshable..., more staer wars fighters and such should be made in a similar scale
Why don’t people like the whiter face for Darth Vader its much more accurate to when his face is revealed in return of the jedi
They could made a landing path for the ucs Slave 1, and the parts that invested in the tiny one use them to improve the cloud city.
I gonna have to buy those midi-ish vhecles off of brick link I love them!!
Finally a reviewer who recognises that this is MADE FOR KIDS! And LEGO is A TOY!
I wish lego would make an accurate boba fett jetpack.
There may be enough of a market to justify its existence, but I feel had they split them apart into smaller sets you'd have a lot more interest
This costs about 500k in Chilean pesos while the Death Star is 83k.
The Death Star is the same wide and has more levels, same amount of figures and more detail, doesn't include the cloud car but there's Vader advanced TIE.
Will this be cyberpunkafied aswell?
Yes! Cyber Cloud City, home of Cloud Computing...
You all best bet that I'm watching all 42 minutes of this.
I might actually save up to get this.
The mini-model of Cloud City is better than the actual set.
I don't thing kids today are interested in cloud city (they may notice freezing chamber), but only old people (who where kids "far far ago") are. So the core problem of this release of CC is, it could not decided for its audience. Unshaped to please everybody.
How many parents gonna spend the money?
I'm 14 and when I was 10 a covered cloud city on a stand with the tail coming out the bottom was my dream set
So even kids might have preferred it covered
With lobot, if they're able to print that far round from the back why are there not more hair prints for characters with short/shaved hair
This might be the first time that they have done all the way around the head. It probably costed a lot to do that so I imagine that is going to be a rare thing until technology gets better. When it does Lego will probably start doing this for characters with short/ shaved hair.
@@thebrickinator5812 they did it with the other two Lobots and the original Alfred Pennyworth.
6:42 Modern Problems require Modern Solutions said the creator
They should make a UCS cloud car. change my mind.
I’m a teen, and I’d happily display this, I’d be proud to own this. To me, the Cloud car should of been separate set
Since battlefront is going to have the clone wars added to it, maybe lego should make a Kamino set. I think it would be very cool and I think Lego could really capture the cloning facility.
they need to make the Geonosis arena with all the beasts
Pff-! We still need our new clone trooper battle pack!
Don't forget that Clone wars comes Back with a new season !
So they have all reasons to get Back into Clone wars Era sets
So many tiny details that were barely even glimpsed in the film but I can't help to think of as "hey! That was in the Lego video game"
Best reviewer ever
I think they should turn the slave 1 and cloudcar into individual sets. They could add a small cloud city build for the cloud car, or a part of Jabba’s place for the slave-1. I would definitely buy them if they were priced right, maybe $30 each.
I think they are making a LEGO Star Wars book with a twin pod cloud car with it some time next year
I would love to see the UCS millennium falcon scaled down to around the same scale that this Slave 1 is at in this set. It would also be cool if it was paired with the Mos Eisely Spaceport, not another cantina. I can see myself having the Slave 1 in one hand and the falcon in the other. Lol
ım sorry but ı cant be the only one that thinks jang should make a cyberpunk cloud city
The only thing about the slave one is that the character boba fett is facing the wrong way
Would you consider making your own re make of this set? With some more detail I feel this set has potential but there’s too much blank space!!
2:20 The review on Brickset suggests that this is a place to plug in a couple of blasters for storage.
Worth the price for that glorious Lando alone
These should've been separate sets, then they could've been even more movie accurate! Then they could do the Hogwarts thing where all the sets could combine.
I like that idea, and I don't know why Lego doesn't do more like that. They kind of did that with all the Hoth sets where you could buy different parts of the Hoth base and move them around and play with them together or individually.
I'd buy it and display it.
Ok, for me, I never had too much love for ep V, for my own personal reasons, so even if I was the target market for this, and I had the money and space, I'd have passed. I do agree with Jang's overall thoughts on the set, it's too big for being a kid's playset, and not geared towards collectors, so this set will probably be an orphan, very few people really enjoying it.
My biggest excitement for the set is honestly the Slave I, I have always wanted lego to come out with "midi" scale sets, the minifig scale ones are too large and expensive for a college student like myself, and their minifig stuck on a chibi sets are not my flavor at all. I would love to see a whole range of ships set in roughly the same scale as the slave I, without the effort to cram a minifig into it, just give us the ships, without them costing so much that smaller collectors like myself are out of budget.
I see people buying this to modify it as they wish. Can't wait to see the MOCs.
I totally agree, the Slave I is a beast!!!!!!!!!!!!
Honestly I agree with you. Sets to the scale of that Slave I would be cool to see, and I’m sure people of many ages would love to see that. They seem to be easy to build, yet the one featured here is so detailed in many different ways. That idea could have a lot of potential.
I agree with your point about smaller scale, but not Microfighter scale, ships. When I first saw pics of this set, I was not at all interested in buying it, but I did think about buying parts from Bricklink to rebuild that Slave I. It's so good for its size!
I like this set so much. Ah, but $350...not quite justifiable. If I had kids I would buy it and confiscate it until they got scholarships to college:)
I‘m 19 and as a collector I love it. Mainly though because I finally wanted a Cloud City in my collection
I'm 37 and agree. Great playable iconic scenes
35:13 thats not completely true. There are still some stormtroopers that are originally clones, also clones like rex and wolf are still alive. And the clones didnt stop producing after order 66 they actually went on a bit. A good example of the fact that clones where used for stormtroopers is the 501 wich became vaders troops, and also shocktroopers wich became the emperors personal guards
9:08 would be interesting if they are planning on a second set for another level like what they did with jaba's palace years ago (unlikely but just a thought)
I think it would've looked nice with a circular printed cloth piece that could be fixed into place going over all the set to give it the saucer shape. And of course you can fold it back to get into it.
I’m genuinely happy with this set, I used my first paycheque on this set. Thinking I’d regret it but shockingly I like to a lot. ( great mini fig choice )
I noticed the C-3P0 colour differences and I like them. It's a nice various.
