🔹What LEGO theme is the most nostalgic to you? 🔹Add this video to your "Watch later" playlist, so you can come back if you don't have enough time to watch the entire video right now - Enjoy!
Legends of Chima The idea of Animal Warriors having animal themed vehicles and they can put powerful orbs in their chests was an amazing concept to me :)
Mixels. Easily one of the most creative themes, the premise of mixing sets was obvious but finally having a theme based around it was very fun It was Bionicle 2: Electric Boogaloo for me :]
@@pengudoesstuff No they aren't. A 2012 set for 50$ would cost 70-80$ today. And I'm speaking from experience. I used to go to stores with lego as a kid and I remember the prices. Nowadays they DO cost more, atleast in my country (I'm talking about sets with similar piece count)
I have something exciting to share: I recently had the pleasure of speaking to Joshua Wexler, who co-wrote "The Adventures of Clutch Powers", and he said they still want to make a sequel. They have written ideas for a Clutch Powers trilogy, in fact. The only problem is lack of demand. He said if we make enough noise, Lego might listen. So if you want the biggest unresolved cliffhanger of your childhood resolved, spread the word!
Chima, Mixels, Monster Fighters, Nexo Knights, and even Hidden Side are all very nostalgic for me, but of them, I would have to choose Chima. I just love how the animal motifs are designed and incorporated into vehicles. My favorite mixel has to be Tentro.
i still miss chima. the animal themed designs for the sets were amazing and i wish more of that was in ninjago considering they have a lot of animal villains, it would be so neat
The Monster Fighters is my absolute favorite lego series ever. I love the theme, it’s my childhood. I got almost every set except for the haunted house.
This video makes me almost want to cry. I miss the days of LEGO having this many unique original themes with their own stories rather than relying entirely on licensed properties. Don’t give me wrong, the licensed sets are good, but no originality like this is has ever been seen again. My favorite original themes were Aqua Raiders, Space Police, Mars Mission, Agents, Atlantis, Heroica, Castle (fantasy era), Pharaoh’s Quest, Dino, Ninjago’s first year, Hero Factory, Bionicle, Racers, Alien Conquest, Exo Force, and Power Miners.
There ARE plenty of good modern lego sets but most of them aren't play focused, they're display sets like the Botanicals Collection or the modular city builds
damn...seeing lego atlantis really hit me hard... with it beeing the first proper theme of sets i got when i was a kid (ignoring ninjago's spinners), it does hold a lot of nostalgia for me... if my memory is correct, i owned over half of the sets, such as both the lost city, the Portal and the most of the vehicles... But sadly, back then i was the type of kid who despite spending hours to assemble a set, i would disasemble them and remix them hours later only to completely scramble the parts and ending up loosing / breaking a lot of them... nowadays, i probably lost/broke half of my parts, and the rest are colelcting dust together with all of my other lego hero factory and lego ninjago sets on the attic of my parents house...
Lego atlantis is so nostalgic for me. Had the big shark, transformable deep-sea mech and the big scorpion. The scorpion is a weird story for me because I got it from my dad and it was the first time I met him at like 6 years old because my parents are divorced. I have never met him since he got me that scorpion.
I do miss the classic Lego sets, they had so much imagination and creativity in them. They didn’t need backstory or elaborate plots or design, they were self explanatory and left it all to the imagination of the child
See, its kind of weird. Because even back then I remember people kind of reminiscing about the classic era for lego, which at that time would've been the late 90s. Now the same thing is happening, but for the late 2000s and early 2010s. Just so crazy how the length of time from then to now is the same, if not longer than the late 90s to then.
@@Gaster_021 I'd say I'm somehow more nostalgic for the late 90s era of lego, even if I didn't witness it since I was born in the late 90s. Just felt like there was more imagination and atmosphere to me. But I still love the Atlantis and power miners sets and whatnot.
@@Gaster_021 I only know due to the internet. I have zero memory of it. I just feel something from it when I watch the old advertisements and see the boxes and whatnot. Just makes me feel a certain way, if that makes sense.
Monster fighters was great! I spent a good chunk of my childhood collecting the sets over the course of about 2 years. I still have all the sets built and on display a decade later! I love and cherish my 100% complete collection of the theme (with the exception of the accessories pack of course)
If there is one Lego theme that matters to me most it’s the Mixels. Me, my brother and cousin always built them with our grandma. The first ones we ever got was the original glorp corp, I got Glurt, still my favorite mixel, my brother got Torts and my cousin got Glomp. Overtime we collected almost all of them, some of my favorite characters being Lunk, Jinky, Wuzzo and Berp, along with many many others. It was awesome having legos as a connecting force in my family. I really hope that Mixels get revived someday for a limited time, just so I can revisit those memories in a new way.
Lego Rock Raiders, Alpha Team, Aqua Raiders, Mars Mission, Dino 2010, so many amazing themes. Lego just doesn't have that in house creativity anymore it feels like. Sadly the corporatised licensed sets make the $$$. Also in regards to Dino Attack / 2010, the American version had all the guns, the UK version (2010), had tranq guns and cages instead of the more "lethal" armaments. So they were in effect completely different versions of similar sets. The helicopter for example had a large cage that could be picked up with a deployable claw, and the 4 tracked vehicle also had a large cage that could be towed. You also forgot one of the underwater series, Alpha Team. Alpha Team had both an underwater and "ice" theme. Though perhaps it wasn't necessarily "exploration". Loved all of the underwater themes.
I grew up with Ninjago and I really miss the creativity of the original seasons. Me and my 300 Lego Ninjago minifigs know that it’s just not the same as it once was.
Finally someone who agrees lol. The older seasons are just better in every way and just SO nostalgic! Ninjago is my childhood and when I say that I'm saying the old seasons, not the newer ones.
@@The-Real-Lloyd-Garmadon-yeah I agree, I don’t understand people who would just say that older seasons were better and say they’re so nostalgic and then they complain that the new seasons suck
You’re right. It’s not the same anymore. Things change! Whilst the old seasons are extremely nostalgic and in some case objectively better, the new seasons are still incredible, and are absolutely worth a watch!
There is definitely appeal to both series, but we should judge a line based off of Blind nostalgia. The older ones are simpler, but more straitforward. The newer sets often are more out there, but come with some kind of fun twist.
man i remember watching jangbricks reviews, and playing with my own sets of these themes and others so vividly. crazy that its been the better part of a decade since
just turned 22 today but i found myself falling down a rabbit hole of nostalgia watching his old vids id watch before school in the morning. such good memories i do miss it honestly
I grew up watching Legends of Chima as a kid with my older brother, man the memories..his favorite faction was the wolves, mine were the crocodiles. Also when I stayed at Legoland, the hotel gave me 3 free Lego Mixels packs which was awesome, I got 2 trashos and one police pack, and I still have the Green brush lego so thats neat.
The fact that legos from the late 2000s to early 2010s are now considered "classic" has me feeling so old. I can feel my joints creeking like the mummies from the Pharaoh's quest line ☠️
I noticed you didn’t talk about the fact that the reason for Dino attack vs Dino 2010 was that in certain places, the very weapon heavy sets wouldn’t be allowed to release, so the sets there were more about containment. Those were Dino 2010. They had fewer weapons as well. Just a cool tidbit
Bionicle, Exo-Force, Fantasy era Castle, Pirates, Mars Mission, Aqua Raiders, Power Miners, Pharaoh's Quest, Seasons 0 and 1 Ninjago, Vikings, Racers (which everyone forgot about but it still has the coolest car designs out of any Lego theme to this day), Agents, Ultra Agents, Space Police III, Atlantis, Dino Attack, Alpha Team-those are all the best Lego themes, imo. And, Bionicle and Exo-Force reign king above all. I stopped purchasing Lego when they stopped making original themes. Now, I only purchase the Castle-related set we get once every year or two. Also, who else remembers Lego Mindstorm? Lego quietly dropped it after releasing an updated version, and now, like Lego Racers, I don't see anyone talk about it.
I miss these "classical" adventure themes lego used to have. About Chima, I loved it because it replaced the hole that the Thundercats 2011 show left on my heart.
Ninjago, Chima and OG LEGO Friends (and by extension, Disney Princess LEGO) were the LEGO sets that basically raised me LEGO-wise. Still watch Ninjago and Chima to this day.
With several videos of this length and greater about bionicle, I'm glad to see someone give praise to Legos other original ideas that were ABSOLUTE BANGERS.
I wish lego still had more unique themes rather than just having basically only sets of already established themes, I used to look at most of these sets all the time as a kid in the store begging my parents to buy me one
I remember participating in the chima contest. Of course, as an 8 year old, I didn't have the best bricks or design skills when participating, but I was absolutely mortified when I saw that I didn't win. Oh well, I guess. That was almost 10 years ago now.
I can speak to the demographic of ninjago fans who despised chima. At the time, it felt like more resources would be going to chima. Others may have had a different perception, but it genuinely upset me so much back in 2013 I stopped watching the ninjago tv show after the first handful of rebooted episodes. I’ve caught up with the theme since then, but I still blame chima for my 10 year dark period from ninjago.
@@AeonKnigh432 Yep, I hate those blatant corporate lies. Just because you could probably make it hold up in court doesn't mean its not a crummy move, meant to keep customers from having an accurate emotional response to the situation. People act like fandoms are so horrible, but this is an entirely unnecessary precedent for toxic behavior straight from the source.
tell me why i vividly remember an ad for chima right after the season 2 finale of ninjago saying it was going to be exactly that (tbh actually i think it was moreso saying it would be filling in ninjago's regular time slot but 11yo me definitely interpreted it as "we're replacing ninjago with chima" and formed a grudge LOL)
I'm old and I grew up with the basic bricks. Great memories but I love how things have evolved over the years, and it's a great hobby to share with my boy.
One that's nostalgic to me is the Prince of Persia theme. I know it was primary based on the 2010 movie, but just for the fact that was a video game theme (which wasn't very common at that time), that was part of my childhood, made it special to me.
I remember seeing lego monster hunters in a toyworld magazine years ago, along with chima. I remember wanting the great devourer set for my birthday in 2015!
"The good old days" are now series that came out after I was into Lego as a kid. Humbling to have the experience somebody who grew up with original Space would have when I talk about Orient Expedition and Bionicle. Not a bad experience, mind you, in a way it is reassuring to see the next generation have similar feelings to us.
Bionicle, Power Miners, Lego Dino and Atlantis were absolutely fire, though i think you missed one set that really stood out, it was my personal favorite, Exo Force!
Chief from Rock Raiders is technically the first minifig with a functional prosthetic arm. but if you want to get technical on it, Captain Roger is the first minifig to have any sort of prosthesis.
There actually is a difference between Dino Attack and Dino 2010. Dino Attack was the US release version, with all the guns and weapons. Dino 2010 was the Europe/Asia release, with tools and gadgets replacing the weapons.
Rock Raiders is super nostalgic for me.....Had all the sets except the big one of course cause of how expensive they were back then....And then don't get me started on how many hours i put into the Lego Rock Raiders CD ROM game on the PC
I actually got most of the monster fighters sets. Loves that theme. Ended up selling the a few years later for a tidy little profit. Don’t regret it, but at the same time wish I still had them. Absolutely love space police. Lunar limo is one of the greatest sets ever made
5:54 The hairmold your talking about is not only unique for the reason your talking about. It’s also one of the only hair pieces that’s made out of rubber, not plastic 😁
I always like when Lego dabbles into the horror genre, even if it's simple and not actually scary, but Minster Fighters, Hidden Side, and Pharaoh's quest always stood out to me because of that. Not sure if Lego will ever go back into such a style, but it would be interesting to see them try something new. I also love when they link series together in some way.
I grew up with bionicle, Alpha Team, Life on Mars, Exo-Force, Knight's kingdom, Mars mission, Powerminers, Aqua Raiders, Castle, Dino 2010, Spacepolice 3, 4 juniors, Vikings, classic Harry Potter, World Racers, Ferrari, adventurers, Racers, World city and then city. Later came Atlantis, pharaoh's quest(my modern favourite) Agents and a few more but then all my Lego-focus was put on Star Wars, indiana Jones and other licensed themes I missed Rock Raiders, Exploriens and insectoids, too bad. Those were the days! So many awesome themes from the 2000's! I hope Lego will revisit this idea and launch more own themes in the future!
They ought to bring back Monster Hunters and Chima would be pretty cool to see return. Mixels was also pretty fun, I had Gurgle and cannibalised him for a giant snake but I probably would have preferred the medieval tribe characters. I very much wanted Atlantis sets as a kid, but I never had any.
i genuinly miss the atlantis theme, i loved that, but only ever got 1 set with just a diver, i genuinly hope to one day be able to put the sets together myself, especially the minifigs i also would love to own the creatures in general, cause i would love to one day build a massive diorama of different clans of creatures, like a ninja clan, underwater clan, pirate clan, magic clan, flying clan, something like that
Glad to see a one hour lego theme video to see that I do not own any set of only spybotics, aqua zone, avatar and Lego universe. I'm afraid that I'm getting old.
I have the most nostalgia from the lego space police, atlantis, powerminers and agents sets. I also really miss exoforce and bionicle which was probably my favourite...
My granddaughter started with Mixels and Chima. My son in law had Pirates and Blacktron, later on Galaxy Squad. Me? I've kept going from there. I'm a late bloomer...
I remember my first Lego set. It was the snake helicopter from Ninjago. A decade(?) later, and more than half of my bedroom is taken up by sets and assorted bricks.
Chima fizzling out is a bummer, give it a few years and it'll be one of those themes everyone is suddenly clamoring for to add to their collection since they ignored it at release
Slight correction on the zombie coffin polybag. i'm in the North of ireland and i got one when they came out. i can't remember where i got it but it think it was a promotional thing from Smyth's Toys.

lego nexo knights
Nothing, and I mean nothing, will ever top the nostalgia that Ninjago gives me. 😌❤

@@MJCam1130 Same here! Chima and Atlantis really bring back memories but Ninjago blows both of them away🤣
Original, unlicensed sets were really Lego’s golden era.
Facts
Space Police, Lego Castle, power miners, Atlantis, Ninjago, Chima, Mixels, those were the most nostalgic
My Man
The most nostalgic and the most epic.
Mars Mission was the one for me. I have a lot of those sets
Can Ninjago be nostalgic if it's still running? /j
Seriously!
I feel so fortunate to grow up in the 2000s/2010s, when Lego had so much more originality (and lower prices)
The prices are the same ._.
@@pengudoesstuff No they aren't. A 2012 set for 50$ would cost 70-80$ today. And I'm speaking from experience. I used to go to stores with lego as a kid and I remember the prices. Nowadays they DO cost more, atleast in my country (I'm talking about sets with similar piece count)
@@LaSprigattio yes inflation, but not counting that they do cost the same
@@pengudoesstuff Maybe you're right, inflation plays a big role too. But the adult sets are kinda overpriced

I have something exciting to share:
I recently had the pleasure of speaking to Joshua Wexler, who co-wrote "The Adventures of Clutch Powers", and he said they still want to make a sequel. They have written ideas for a Clutch Powers trilogy, in fact. The only problem is lack of demand. He said if we make enough noise, Lego might listen. So if you want the biggest unresolved cliffhanger of your childhood resolved, spread the word!
Boy does ninjago have news for you
@@Breadsworth I'm already a huge Ninjago fan, and that clutch is a separate character in a separate continuity.
@@Supasmartguy fair enough
@@Supasmartguyat the very least, ninjago is looking to keep the ip alive
I watched Clutch Powers at a random movie day in elementary or middle school and I have been in love with it since.
Chima, Mixels, Monster Fighters, Nexo Knights, and even Hidden Side are all very nostalgic for me, but of them, I would have to choose Chima. I just love how the animal motifs are designed and incorporated into vehicles.
My favorite mixel has to be Tentro.
they are only a few years old tho, particularly nexo nights
@Se7v7en1 well, its not really nostalgia if its only a few years old
@Se7v7en1 well its hard to be yearning for the return of the past, when the past was yesterday
@Se7v7en1 I agree, something doesn't have to be super old to be nostalgic.
For me were the Hero Factory sets, i was obsessed with them and i had from small to big sets
i still miss chima. the animal themed designs for the sets were amazing and i wish more of that was in ninjago considering they have a lot of animal villains, it would be so neat
@@waifu_png_pl6854 I miss Chima too. Actually Chima stuff has crossovered in ninjago
@@redshot5403 Yeah I remember seeing that
@@redshot5403 that's cause they're canonically in the same universe
@@LexiTheStarQueen yep, Lloyd and Morro visited Chima and the Beavers were accidentally transported to Ninjago

Bionicle, Power Miners, Lego Dino and Atlantis were absolutely fire, though i think you missed one set that really stood out, it was my personal favorite, Exo Force!
Chief from Rock Raiders is technically the first minifig with a functional prosthetic arm. but if you want to get technical on it, Captain Roger is the first minifig to have any sort of prosthesis.
Back in the day everybody trashed on a lot of these, Chima especially. And now, its "the good old days"
Man, I remember Atlantis with great fondness. I even had the sub that would transform into a base.
Atlantis was an absolute banger
There actually is a difference between Dino Attack and Dino 2010. Dino Attack was the US release version, with all the guns and weapons. Dino 2010 was the Europe/Asia release, with tools and gadgets replacing the weapons.
5:20 that piece used to keep me up at night because it would glow while I tried to sleep, good memories!
27:29 I submitted to that contest with my mom! We didn't win, but I put a lot of time into that fire fort build.
I think the Mixles were an amazing demonstration of how creative the Lego team can be.
Racers is my favourite lego theme. Something about cool cars are awesome to think about.
Rock Raiders is super nostalgic for me.....Had all the sets except the big one of course cause of how expensive they were back then....And then don't get me started on how many hours i put into the Lego Rock Raiders CD ROM game on the PC
I actually got most of the monster fighters sets. Loves that theme. Ended up selling the a few years later for a tidy little profit. Don’t regret it, but at the same time wish I still had them. Absolutely love space police. Lunar limo is one of the greatest sets ever made
I miss Monster Fighters and Chima every single second of my life
13:34 my brothers and I had this set! We loved it haha, we used it solely to stir chocolate milk as well!
5:54 The hairmold your talking about is not only unique for the reason your talking about. It’s also one of the only hair pieces that’s made out of rubber, not plastic 😁
I always like when Lego dabbles into the horror genre, even if it's simple and not actually scary, but Minster Fighters, Hidden Side, and Pharaoh's quest always stood out to me because of that. Not sure if Lego will ever go back into such a style, but it would be interesting to see them try something new.
I also love when they link series together in some way.
The online game from Pharaoh's Quest was so much fun
mixels and bionicle are the best things lego put out ever since they open the way for infinite creativity
44:15 … you should see what vampire squids look like , being goofy isn’t unrealistic when nature is feeling a little silly
I grew up with bionicle, Alpha Team, Life on Mars, Exo-Force, Knight's kingdom, Mars mission, Powerminers, Aqua Raiders, Castle, Dino 2010, Spacepolice 3, 4 juniors, Vikings, classic Harry Potter, World Racers, Ferrari, adventurers, Racers, World city and then city.
Later came Atlantis, pharaoh's quest(my modern favourite) Agents and a few more but then all my Lego-focus was put on Star Wars, indiana Jones and other licensed themes
I missed Rock Raiders, Exploriens and insectoids, too bad.
Those were the days! So many awesome themes from the 2000's! I hope Lego will revisit this idea and launch more own themes in the future!
never had a monster fighter set but it seems goated as playsets and display
"Oh yes, ole days, my favorite LEGO era"
What a well done video. I am impressed. 😊💜
They ought to bring back Monster Hunters and Chima would be pretty cool to see return. Mixels was also pretty fun, I had Gurgle and cannibalised him for a giant snake but I probably would have preferred the medieval tribe characters. I very much wanted Atlantis sets as a kid, but I never had any.
8:51 i love the unscripted laugh there!
omg nostalgia wave love chima, still have all the sets
I grew up with Bionicles, Hero Factory, Ninjago, Chima, Star Wars, Mixels, and other early 2000s and almost all male 2010s sets
we just need a 10 minutes long video of images of old 2010's Lego sets with the song I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire
wsp spitbrix your my fav youtuber keep up the good content
I'm glad that you enjoy my videos!
i genuinly miss the atlantis theme, i loved that, but only ever got 1 set with just a diver, i genuinly hope to one day be able to put the sets together myself, especially the minifigs
i also would love to own the creatures in general, cause i would love to one day build a massive diorama of different clans of creatures, like a ninja clan, underwater clan, pirate clan, magic clan, flying clan, something like that
i still want those monster hunter figures so badly. they're classics.
please do a video on Space Police!
Lots of great sets in that theme!
@@SpitBrixhi, BIG FAN
@@SpitBrix fun fact that swamp creature appeared in the lego movie
Glad to see a one hour lego theme video to see that I do not own any set of only spybotics, aqua zone, avatar and Lego universe. I'm afraid that I'm getting old.
I have the most nostalgia from the lego space police, atlantis, powerminers and agents sets. I also really miss exoforce and bionicle which was probably my favourite...
My granddaughter started with Mixels and Chima. My son in law had Pirates and Blacktron, later on Galaxy Squad. Me? I've kept going from there. I'm a late bloomer...
Monster hunters is by far one of my favorite themes till this day. My favorite set was the ghost train.
Man I would have loved to have gotten my hands on a Chima set back then.
I remember my first Lego set. It was the snake helicopter from Ninjago. A decade(?) later, and more than half of my bedroom is taken up by sets and assorted bricks.
I still have some Lego Mars Mission sets, i love this set.
Dino Attack in some countries, Dino2010 in the UK.
Chima fizzling out is a bummer, give it a few years and it'll be one of those themes everyone is suddenly clamoring for to add to their collection since they ignored it at release
Oh, how I loved those Atlantic sets
man i miss the mixels.
Love the videos bro keep goin!
dribal is my favorite because I got him when I was very young and he holds a special place in my heart!
Slight correction on the zombie coffin polybag. i'm in the North of ireland and i got one when they came out. i can't remember where i got it but it think it was a promotional thing from Smyth's Toys.
