@@jessehorn6180 I've also started using the nightmare creatures or whatever from Dreamzzz as hostile alien life. They work really well. They even go with Blacktron very well (though I don't have any of my Blacktron from when I was a kid, I do have more recent collector set).
FIX FOR THE DROPPING LANDING GEAR: If you replace the yellow frictionless pin from both of the front legs for the regular black ones, the landing gear will stay in position. I recommend only replacing the pins in the front legs. If you also change a pin in the posterior landing leg, it feels like the friction is a little too much. Changing 2 pins is all you need! I tried this and have no issues with the landing gears dropping anymore! You are welcome!!!
Where would one get these black pins? I'm looking at Lego's Pick A Brick and the only one I find that would have friction and fit there is CONNECTOR PEG W. FRICTION 3M, which is blue on the website; would that still work?
Oh yeah, the VTOL totally is a Mars Mission set! I really love the alien vehicles form that theme and wonder if we'll ever get something similar again.
@@cardboard_cave I didn't say I thought it was bad set overall; I just thought that the lift-arm feature was poorly implemented and probably unnecessary. I imagine they were trying to find a way to integrate the airlock piece into the set somehow.
that VTOL set looks so awesome!! I agree with you, Technic was not only a bit boring but also expensive! This set proves that Technic can be exciting, great looking and cheap! What a marvel! I really want it! :D
I'm a classic space fan I was lucky enough to be given the original sets in 1979 when I was 9 and I still have them . I love the new city space sets and I'm definitely buying the technic VTOL and making any small changes the cockpit needs to fit a classic spaceman. Great video 😊
I'm glad we finally have a non-vehicle Technic set for the first time since BIONICLE split off from the Technic line and we had those weird Star Wars droids. It's been 22 years...
So there is actually a spot to hold the cargo, it's at the center where it says lift. When you lift it the cradle is shaped for the cargo almost perfectly, it fits in there really nice and you can clamp it down for a snug fit
They create the price point for the set before they design it, not the other way around. This is we often get side builds or something like the rover. Tiago, who was a designer, has talked about this many times
Thanks so much for taking the time to add the mini fig to the vehicles. I know that it was a long rumored possibility, but I never knew for certain until now. I just ordered all three! Thanks!
Just finished my vid for my minimal Surface Space Loader mod (small vehicle) that makes it a true loader, with folding boom and everything! I'll be sure to send it your way!
Lego has been knocking it out of the park with the space theme lately. I also love the slight callbacks to mars mission in these, and the lego city space line.
Your review convinced me to grab the VTOL Spaceship. I already grabbed the small rover and I am having fun with it, but I need that VTOL Spaceship now!
Hi. I had the same problem with the landing gear. A solution is to change the grey pin to a black pin at the red moving bar. What connects the front legs to the back leg.
Okay, so I'm an Australian Lego fan, and Lego here can get a bit expensive (like the Marvel construction figures being over 50AUD,) The VTOL heavy cargo spaceship is 150 AUD at 1,365 pieces, that rounds to about 10.9 AU cents a piece, That is with Tax/GST by the way, That is an absolute steal, and not just in PPP, but in play value too, the VTOL is absolutely worth it. I used to be a fan of Lego technic, but it recent years it felt like Technic had just become super car models, control plus and pull back motors, with some small sets in-between. But between the Mack LR Electric Garbage Truck, and pretty much all of technic space, it feels like that classic, dare I say, magical, feeling of Technic is back in some form. Please, even if you are not a fan of Lego Technic, The VTOL heavy cargo spaceship is worth every cent and deserves all the support.
Really like these especially for the fact they are minifig compatible. Technic needs original stuff like this! All in on Sci-fi Imagine Cyberpunk type cars in Technic wow 😈
I get a heavy "space engineers" game type of idea with that big rover. Not a bad thing on itself, but yeah that big one is more interesting for parts then it's for the set itself. The small rover I might get due to the wheels at least twice. Really handy to have those wheels for sure. For the rest... Yeah i'm not so sure to be honest, although the spaceship thing does have some nice parts to have for my own builds.
I don't get why they couldn't find a way to fully enclose the cockpit of the VTOL Spaceship. The gap in the middle doesn't look good. Everything else though is amazing!
I’m just surprised they thought loading from the side would be better than loading from the back. I wouldn’t be surprised if they make some mods for it that do that
Well... the VTOL ( Vee-tol ) is more real life inspired. The V-22 Osprey being the closest. The Harrier VTOL doesn't really look like it, but it has the same flight capability. I really like the Rover vehicle. There really isn't anything like it in real life. Only other thing it can be compared to is from pop culture, Star Wars, and in the form of the Turbo Tank. I don't know, I just thought I'd point that out :l
I wish there was one that could be motorized with remote control. But I do really like them. Also, don't say "I'll buy it even if it cost a lot more" :P
HOLD UP! ARE THOSE BOHROK TEETH ON THE VTOL HOOKS?! Or am I misidentifying the new panel pieces? Edit: Saw it in action again. THE BOHROK TEETH ARE BACK!
Me: *imagines a good Lego movie with 2024 space sets* Edit: if Lego does see this another set idea should be a freighter. Because of the cargo and rovers in the sets
i dont think i ever heard you so excited as you were whooshing that VTOL around.
Hope they'll make more Space sets soon.
were getting two new space sets in April
one for City and one for Friends

the answer is yes

Where are the yellow pins 😅
I also cannot find yellow pins in the front legs
Bro Im building this set but the front landing gear doesn't retract all the way with a click. Does that sound I'm doing it wrong
Definitely giving me Mars Mission vibes, which is great because two of my favorite sets are *still* two of the massive Mars Mission vehicles.
Oh yeah, the VTOL totally is a Mars Mission set! I really love the alien vehicles form that theme and wonder if we'll ever get something similar again.
I'm having SO MUCH FUN moccing the City sets. Can't wait to get the Technic ones!
The level of anxiety of you walking backwards against all these sets.
Confidence +100
JangBricks was disappointed with the loading feature on the small rover, too. 😢 Still, I think the rover looks good without the loading function.
I thought the transforming feature more than made up for the small loader on a $35 set. Feels like a real win as a smaller technic set.

I didn’t realise how cool the VTOL is up close, especially with the features. Was planning on getting the rover but think i’ll get the VTOL instead!
Yesterday I built the sun/earth/moon set. It is brilliant! One of the best sets ever and well worth the money.

I was rooting for you the whole time I loved all your stories that went with your builds
Finally a review that does these sets justice! I was on the fence about the VTOL until I heard your swooshing--sold
would be nice if the big rover comes with motors
Love these sets.
I'm so glad you covered these sets. I haven't seen any lego ytbers yet who have covered these sets yet.
Dudeee, i love the VTOL sets, crazy play features!
Your review convinced me to grab the VTOL Spaceship. I already grabbed the small rover and I am having fun with it, but I need that VTOL Spaceship now!
These sets look fantastic
I just had to order the VTOL. It's so cool and looks great next to the Ornithopter.

Oh sweet, thanks for the suggestion!
@@DuckBricks let me know if it works for you?
More technic vehicle sets should be minifigure compatible/adjacent, something like how the last wave of Hero Factory did with CCBS.

The way he grabs the sun though
I think the truck's collapsing gimmick has a practical use. Storage. Smaller truck, smaller hangar.
I like the Lego Space Pickup Truck!!
The large rover gives me massive Deserts of Kharak vibes reminding me a lot of the Baserunner!
Great sets! We can’t wait for more! Thanks for an awesome video 🎉
@21:40 Whhoooosh… ting, ting, ting… thump-thump… thump-thump… bleep-bloop-beep… vwoooom… 🚀✨
I think you'll need to dig a deeper basement at the rate you're going. XD
More like an extra house 💀
Absolutely awesome Sets!!
If this Orrery had come out by the time you were on Masters, you probably could have gotten the tickets to Cirque
HAHA FR
wish the entire lego space catalog gets reissued
Yo Chris, which ship is better. The new milano or VTOL?
The "Planet Earth and Moon in Orbit" really needs a counterweight!
But it looks like a fun set!
They’re amazing!
This was a triumph
I'm making a note here
"Huge success"
It's hard to overstate my satisfaction
Really like these especially for the fact they are minifig compatible. Technic needs original stuff like this! All in on Sci-fi
Imagine Cyberpunk type cars in Technic wow 😈
A motorised version of that ship, with actual drone type motors able to make it hover and move.
I would buy it instantlly.
😃👍
Have you ever tripped walking backwards down those stairs?
as an astrophysics major, i am super excited for the orrery! definitely will be getting it soon
Space brick Room😳
Can you make a top 10 best lego spaceships?
The into I was so worried you would trip over backwards 😮
Hey Chris 2 things congratulations on winning Lego masters. And when is your Lego set coming out so I can buy it that’s if you can say anything?
Even if you don’t like the sets. They have a lot of useful pieces

22:18 that looks like a terminator gunship
Lego's making it REALLY HARD to save in this inflated economy 😢 These sets look phenomenal and hope to pick one up at some point.
Gotta love the flex at the beginning
I like the Orrery set. For the price, they should have used printed pieces instead of stickers.
I don't get why they couldn't find a way to fully enclose the cockpit of the VTOL Spaceship. The gap in the middle doesn't look good. Everything else though is amazing!
based take on the VTOL now im gonna buy one brb
its so cool wave
Can the rover be picked up by this set? 28:02
Can you pick up the large rover with the ship? 👀👀👀
I feel like for me, the spaceship might even look better without the stickers this time.
I’m just surprised they thought loading from the side would be better than loading from the back. I wouldn’t be surprised if they make some mods for it that do that
Cool but need some Power Functions sets
I actually Have the smallest set and I just realized when I get the VTOL I can lift up the rover with the VTOL!!!!!!!!

Also, don't say "I'll buy it even if it cost a lot more" :P
Amazing collection but this basement looks like a voodoo shop with how busy it is 😅
HOLD UP! ARE THOSE BOHROK TEETH ON THE VTOL HOOKS?! Or am I misidentifying the new panel pieces?
Edit: Saw it in action again. THE BOHROK TEETH ARE BACK!
It’s unfortunately a slightly different panel piece they’ve been using for a few years, but it fulfills a similar purpose!
If only they were also Minifig compatible
They basically are, as showcased in the review!
Alpha team blue eagle vs snow crawl
idk why but the big rover reminds me of the rover from ninjago rebooted
LEGO Technic Space - great idea!
Using the kit designers and/or managers who like LEGO orange ☹
Hi
Why does the sun spin?
Because the sun spins?
The sun does in fact spin.

Hi my ducky bro I’m a duck too
VTOL already going to be on the top 10 list?? It's rigged! Big Technic has gotten to him!
What can I say, Big Technic has bought me off
There aint a scientific knowledge bone in this dudes body.
Going outside is not an option for this man, and bro how big is ur budget
i am the first like and comment
Firdt
Come on... the orrery might be technically difficult from a design perspective, but it's probably the most boring and ugly Lego set ever put on sale.
That's completely your opinion, and mine after building it and using it is the complete opposite 👍
