...why would people complain about the spider being too scary? Why would they buy it if they knew there would be a spider? And it's on the box? That is so weird to me.
If they changed the colors, the C-3PO one could pass for Episode 1 C-3PO. But even then it would likely still be very low reviewed because of how clunky and frustrating it is
I remember trying to build a Lego "Star Destroyer" from Star Wars... only to have put one of the 1st pieces on wrong and having to take the whole thing apart to fix it. Then I proceeded to throw it into The Shadow Realm.
That's what I wanted to do with this lego volkswagen campervasn set after I spent the entire thing in one day, only to realise I built it wrong and couldn't put the wheels on at the end, and ended up destroying the thing trying to fix it.
Goshh, happend to me but it was a technic set. And it wasnt small, it was the Range Rover.. i was building it for a long time (about 7-8 hours, as it was my first technic set) and i noticed i made a mistake at early stages of the build and had to take it apart and if you know technic it is a pain in the ass. I was tempted to leave it like it was but i had to repair it. It was my first and last technic set lol
When it comes to the spider trike, it’s probably based on the Spider Cycle from the Ultimate Spider Man cartoon. In the show it was stated that Peter had to use the trike because the web shooters S.H.I.E.L.D used web fluid that was really expensive. Although I don’t know why Lego made it a “trike” instead of a motorcycle.
Lego Spiderman sets are all over the place, there are piles and piles of random spider vehicles including but not limited to, a giant robot spider, a jet, giant bikes, monster trucks
The Spider Cycle at least had the excuse of being useful for areas where the web-shooters are less than practical, like where there aren't tall buildings everywhere, and it could also ride on top of web-lines. The Spider Trike is just an over-complicated catapult.
I remember the lego harry potter spider set, and I think besides being overall unpleasant to look at, the price at the time was way too high for what little you actually got to build. My mom bought it for me and I remember thinking “is this all?” when I was finished, so that also might have contributed to its bad rating.
The Ultimate Lightsaber Duel is actually based on the Mining facility on Mustafar, which hung over a large lava cliff. It played a large role in the first half of the fight, and I've always been fond of it
The Galidor TV series aired during my pre-teen / early teen years and at the time I felt it to be like Farscape for kids. For those who may not know Fatscape was a science fiction series that aired on the Sci-Fi channel during the late 1990's and early 2000's. It was about a human astronaut who while test flying a new spaceship got warped to a far-off section of the galaxy and met a colorful cast of alien characters, including a blue plant lady, a warrior squid man who has a sword that can transform into a laser shooting assault rifle, and others. They all go on adventures in an organic spaceship that's alive and even gave birth to a baby spaceship later in the series.
Yeah my little brother got the set for Christmas, and you’re not gonna believe this but the set was sealed but the mini figures weren’t in it when he opened it.
There was a whole line of these Ben 10 aliens actually I remember having like 3 or 4 of them as kid, including humongusaur and when you had multiple it was kinda fun cause you could mix and much the pieces and create some pretty crazy alien designs
@@Janoha17 I personally only got introduced to those AFTER the Ben 10 line so for me it was the first of that style that I knew of and it stayed more vivid in my mind as a result
@@christianparrish6647 so the reason is really dumb, but as a kid my favorite was brainstorm because I had the game "Ben 10 Alien Force Vilgax Attacks" on my DS and in that game brainstorm was really op
Personally I've always liked ultimate lightsaber duel, yeah the thing with the sticks used to move the figures doesn't really work like it should but if you don't use them and just move the minifigures with your hands, the set is easier and more fun to play with.
Could it be better with a 4-tooth gear in the back of the axle? It'd stop the axle from slipping between your fingers, unless the platform the minifigs stand on are loose
Your light style and gentle demeanor have meant so much to me while recovering from surgery. I can just let your videos play and not worry about it when nurses walk in, unlike some of the true crime or horror channels I watch
The Aragog design in the later set I got as a kid (I'm talking post-Deathly Hallows movie, when they were using flesh tones for the minifigures instead of yellow) was a serious improvement over the original. It had a face with some personality to it rather than dead black orbs on the side of the head, a more distinctly tarantula-like appearance that helped it look not so alien, and the legs were even repurposed from a ninja sword mold! I'm sure it was still creepy to arachnophobes, but it at least looked like a cool toy monster for your lego figures to fight in that set rather than H.R. Giger's lost spider sculpture.
That ultimate lightsaber duel set looks like abstract "art." Not the pieces that're mesmorising to look at (some abstract art looks good), but the kind that looks like the painter has a seizure....while drunk.....at 3 in the morning..... and hasn't slept in 4 days
Aww, what's wrong with Aragog? I still have my complete Aragog set that my grandmother gave me when I was in elementary or middle school. She's no longer with us so it means a lot to me and I'd never get rid of it, no matter how creepy people may think it is.
At 14:20, I personally believe rather then putting the Eternal Aerial Assault set, they should have put the 7151 Sith Infiltrator set. It was $30 in 1999 money and it was really terrible with only one Lego figure. Easily the worst of the 1999 Lego sets for Star Wars.
That set probably only exists so you can get some rare characters for a (relatively) cheap price. Mace Windu and Grevious with 5 lightsabers for $30 is decent, especially in the modern age (the set is very recent) when LEGO prices are absolutely insane and unaffordable unless you're rich. Like, the average set price for an actually worthwhile one is $70-$100 now instead of like $30-$40 like when I was a kid with Power Miners, Original Run Ninjago, Mars Mission, Space Police 2010, and even Chima. I The speeder is just a neat bonus. The prices have gone up so much due to inflation that the average citizen can't afford LEGO for their kids and either has to resort to knock-offs like Megablox or just not get LEGOs for them at all. Unlike when I was a kid there's basically no child fans of LEGO anymore because the toys are too expensive so only rich people can afford them. They're all adults.
I feel like a duel on mustafar set would work a lot better if lego stopped focusing on making it about that battle and made it like an obstacle course. It would be a lot more fun to build and play with and would still fit with the duel itself.
@@bullet_outsmarter_5000 my older brother had that set when I was really little and I always assumed it was supposed to be his half finished state, I mean why else would he be so bare bones with all his wires exposed and almost no gold pieces?
I think the LEGO Obi-Wan Kenobi vs. Anakin Skywalker playset could've been better if they added the ladders for Kenobi to show that he has the high grounds.
Wait, you got COVID with low symptoms around the same time as me? (Unless, you know, you recorded this a while ago) Let's hope we both get better, that all of us also with COVID get better soon.
My mom also had Covid with low symptoms when my dad had to go to the hospital for a few days and I was in the emergency room for a few hours. It attacks differently based on what blood type you have.
Okay for that eternals set I do own it myself. I believe it's an okay set with like eh figures I think the only saving part of the set is Ikaris. The deviant looked decent but the wings looked so bad so I customized the wings to make it slightly more appealing lol.
Spider-Man has a Spider-Buggy (made as a joke), and a Spider-Cycle (cheaper and faster than web fluid, and works outside of downtown areas), but no Spider-Trike.
Hey strider i have a question for you, i know youre a huge sponge bob fan and i just wanted to know if you've seen/heard of sponge bob the musical before? If not i think you would really love it cause its super well made and even has a proshot available to watch! I would love to hear your opinion on it, wether it's a short video or just a little comment.
I had the C-3PO set when it came out. He was barely able to stand on his own because his legs didn't move at all. They also released a stormtrooper model at the same time (had it too), where you were meant to shoot 3PO in the center so he blew up.
Im pretty sure the C3PO set was made around episode 1s release. Looks to be the version of C3PO that Anakin hasn’t finished building yet. It would explain why the set looks so unfinished.
It seems to me like it's more so a product of it's time than anything else. I've personally noticed that many of the oldest Lego Star Wars sets were nowhere near the quality they are today, comparing the oldest version of the Millennium Falcon set they ever made with the more recent versions of the set gives me at least a pretty decent idea of just how far these sets have come. Because of this, I don't think it's any secret that the set looked as bad as it did, especially given Lego's reluctance to make an abundance of new pieces for a certain set due to how much it would cost them to develop them
6:46 it was short lived because it was a piece of tech. As in the whole Minifigure was not a Minifigure, but a casket where all the mechanics where hidden, so, the heads didn't come apart, the hands didn't moved and the legs didn't came out as well so you couldn't take away Obi-wan's Lightsaber and put on Quigon for instance. All of those where not part of the lego system 18:37 yeah, this
LEGO Aragog is an evolution of a huntsman spider. Tired of being stepped on, it evolved to lose its soul but gain ultimate protection from its primary predator...the human foot. Even shoes cannot damage its black plastic exoskeleton and the human foot avoids preying on it because it knows not to touch the alarming and pain-inducing LEGO bricks on the exoskeleton.
The problem with General Grievous' Combat Speeder is not the obscurity of the vehicle, but the price and overall value. Obscure vehicles are usually well recieved, as we get so many repeats of more famous designs (x-wings, falcons, etc). $30 dollars for 2 minifigures and a very surface level speeder is a pretty awful deal. Evidently Grievous is a very expensive figure to produce, as most sets he's in are a bit overpriced. Doesn't help that the speeder was needlessly oversized. Would have been much better at $20
"Looks like a Chinese bootleg toy, assembled by the blind, and warped in the microwave for a few minutes". oh gawd, you actually made me spit take my tea all over my screen! 😀
Ngl, the Lego Nick from Galidor figure looks like a melted dollar store Mega Man toy you'd find in the clarence bin. Even then that is being a little too nice
honestly, being able to send spiderman catapulting out of the spider trike makes it my favorite just because of how funny it is to just send him flying
14:57 just letting you know, those are called power blasts, by pressing on the sides of them while they are in minifigures hands they launch out of a minifigures hands. They actually shoot pretty far
Hey, Stridor! Thanks for making this video! I’m happy to be one of the guys who requested it! By the way, I actually still have the Spider Trike set, and I didn’t see any problems with it.
"Lego Spider-Man 2: Doc Ock's Crime Spree" In 2004 (Which was when Spider-Man 2 came out) Lego released a special 4+ set (if you can believe it) for the movie. They had plenty of other sets based off the movie. Sets don't always turn accurate but there's a difference between be accurate and re-acting a scene from the movie at all. this includes Spiderman riding a spidey helicopter (like since when does Spidey use a helicopter) to chase Doc Ock while escaping on a motor bike. (Why does Ock need a bike). The only good that comes out of this set is that it was only $15.00 and has a sexy looking spiderman fig, but all figs are reuses of Jack stone figs, which of course can't come apart like regular figs. This set also comes with a plastic hallow ramp piece so light it won't even stay in place. There's no way to attach it to anything. This bound to be THE worst Spiderman set in history of Lego Spiderman!
I can’t imagine being a kid in the late 90’s and going to the store to pick out a Lego set and you choose the znap jet car and then go home and build it just to realize it looks like something you would do for a group project
#8: I had that set in the past. My brother got me the set as a present for my twelfth birthday. Looking back on it now, I tried using those pieces to play the scene, even Anakin losing his legs and left arm. My brother would be upset because it was expensive, and I took it for granted. #6: Seeing that in the thumbnail, I assumed that you were talking about the C-3PO promoting the release of Star Wars Episode I. #1: Oh, God, I remember seeing the McDonald's Galidor figures in LEGO Magazine. Seeing that now, it looks horrendous.
Hey I have a video idea for you, Strider... how about, the top ? missed opportunities for Lego sets/ mini figures from great tv shows and movies. For example, Goosebumps, Miraculous, Nickalodian, DC, DreamWorks etc. Could be fun. Hope you recover soon, dude. 🙂👍
I feel inclined to share this definition from google: “Jackstones are stones in the urinary tract that have the characteristic appearance resembling six-pointed toy jacks. They are nearly always reported to occur in the urinary bladder, and the occurrence in less capacious renal pelvis is unusual”
Funny enough that C-3PO set would have been amazing if they had used silver instead of gold and then marketed as episode 1 C-3PO instead of episode 5 C-3PO, because it actually looks incredibly accurate to that one... and also classify it as a display figure not a playable one 🤖💛🤷🏼♂️ ~Adam
Biggest problem for Jack Stone? No bricks to create a support frame. Meaning the glider wings have no way to stay steady and flap-drop before they can attempt gliding.
Always a good day when strider uploads! Love the Lego themed videos. I actually got the Spider-Trike when it released. (Only for electro) Get well soon, btw.
As someone who had Covid myself, it really bites not only the dust, but ALL the sand at the beach. Please try to get better, Strider, we still love you and wish you well. Keep being you and reviewing what you enjoyed the most. Thank you for everything, mate, and always remember to have fun! 😎👍😇🙏❤️☕️🎼🎵🎶
I really enjoy these lists! I think you should do a Top 10 Worst Netflix Movies list because there's one in particular that really fits the bill of bad Netflix films.
Interesting thing about the Spider-Trike. In 1973, there was a comic in which Spider-Man is approached by a car company to make a Spider-Mobile, which Spider-Man initially thinks is a dumb idea. The only reason he goes along with the idea is because (at that point in the comics) he was desperate for rent money.
Glad you aren't feeling too bad with Covid! It unfortunately got me too a couple of weeks back. Luckily nothing severe, but did completely lay me up in bed for a few days
All of the Ben 10 figures sucked. It's like someone looked at Bionicles and said "We should do that but with none of the adaptability or customizability."
As a LEGO enjoyer, my thoughts on the sets: 10. Not much creativity with the spider design, also not much to do with the set so not a fun set for me. 9. The set I hate the most as the vehicle is not fun to play with, and mad that this is 1 of 2 sets that include electro, and it's the ultimate version of the character, which I hate the most as a lazy redisgn as he just looks like Living Lazer or Living Lightning instead. 8. Not interesting, and the minifigures fall out, the only interesting thing is the light function of the set. 7. I hate that this is one of the few Ben 10 sets, and it looks ugly and incomplete, which is saying something compared to how LEGO made the Avatar The Last Airbender set. 6. Would have work as the episode 1 version, but still would not have sold well. 5. A set I got on sale, and the reason Mace Window is here as a reference to the 2003 Clone Wars show when Mace crushes Grevious body to give him the cough we hear in Episode 3. Although, not worth the price as Mace only has the generic black lego head and doesn't stand out. 4. Can't comment as I never liked any of the Eternal sets that they showed. 3. Terrible set with nothing to do with the set, and I don't like it. 2. I am still mad that this even made it past the development phase as it's a terrible set that shouldn't exist as a LEGO product. 1. I have no comment, the set just speaks for itself.
You totally just blew my mind with the Galador McDonald's sets(or however you spell it) As a kid, I had that blue alien, and when you're poor you just kind of played with what you had, and I always wondered if it was from something, but I never figured it out because I was like 3 when the show would've aired. I had forgotten about it, and probably would've never have thought about it again, but the closure for my inner child is good, thank you sir
I bought the new dual on mustifar set just so I could give Kanobi the high ground also my older siblings had the old one and my sister vividly remembers the flipping of the figures
5:00 I actually had this set and it was one of my favorites. The light-up sabers, the collapsing towers, even the wonky stick maneuvering. I felt it captured the more epic, set-piece feel of the battle, almost like a video game. The new set just looks puny in comparison.
I wouldn't say false advertisement for the glider unless it specifically said it actually glides. You can't expect a lego plane to fly. However, most boat sets that don't actually float have a warning saying so. As long as the box accurately showed the glider was a piece of paper, you can't really complain about it because you saw the picture and decided to buy it anyways.
I used to have one or two of the Lego Ben 10 Constrax sets, and I can definitely state that even as a Ben 10 fan, the Humungosaur set was a disappointment because of how it looked and because the pieces were hollow from the back. The sets that I thought that actually looked good for displaying were the ones based on Big Chill, Spidermonkey, and Chromastone.
As a kid I remember liking those sets a lot because you could make some pretty wild designs when you mixed the pieces together like using the torso pieces and hands and using multiple sets of limb pieces to give them long arms and you made so really cool looking stuff at least to me back then. So humongusaur provided me with more peices for that if anything so I didn't really care how it looked on its own
I have a revamped version of the lego Aragog it looks awesome and it looks much better and its better about the design for Aragog and its much more true to the in movie spider. I have almost all the lego hp sets but they keep adding more to it🤣
...why would people complain about the spider being too scary? Why would they buy it if they knew there would be a spider? And it's on the box? That is so weird to me.
and how are lego builds scary bruh
I think they mean they would buy it if the spider was less likely to actually scare you if you saw it on the floor and had to do a double take 😂
I had that set as a kid; I remember trying to scare my sisters with Lego Aragog. It wasn't very effective.
I don’t think spider so scary I think they’re actually pretty cute but that’s just my opinion
Nah just the bottom of the barrel stupid useless people moment
If they changed the colors, the C-3PO one could pass for Episode 1 C-3PO. But even then it would likely still be very low reviewed because of how clunky and frustrating it is

I had the C-3PO set when it came out. He was barely able to stand on his own because his legs didn't move at all. They also released a stormtrooper model at the same time (had it too), where you were meant to shoot 3PO in the center so he blew up.
That's why he can't move his legs, else the Stormtrooper wouldn't be able to hit him
Spiderman with his own supermobile like Batman looks kinda cursed💀💀💀💀💀
Im pretty sure the C3PO set was made around episode 1s release. Looks to be the version of C3PO that Anakin hasn’t finished building yet. It would explain why the set looks so unfinished.
Doesn’t explain why some of the pieces are gold
It seems to me like it's more so a product of it's time than anything else. I've personally noticed that many of the oldest Lego Star Wars sets were nowhere near the quality they are today, comparing the oldest version of the Millennium Falcon set they ever made with the more recent versions of the set gives me at least a pretty decent idea of just how far these sets have come. Because of this, I don't think it's any secret that the set looked as bad as it did, especially given Lego's reluctance to make an abundance of new pieces for a certain set due to how much it would cost them to develop them
6:46 it was short lived because it was a piece of tech. As in the whole Minifigure was not a Minifigure, but a casket where all the mechanics where hidden, so, the heads didn't come apart, the hands didn't moved and the legs didn't came out as well so you couldn't take away Obi-wan's Lightsaber and put on Quigon for instance. All of those where not part of the lego system
18:37 yeah, this
Strider I'd really like you to talk about more creepy dark and disturbing cartoons
Actually yes
Love me some Legos. And I hope you quickly recover from Covid, Strider
LEGO Aragog is an evolution of a huntsman spider. Tired of being stepped on, it evolved to lose its soul but gain ultimate protection from its primary predator...the human foot. Even shoes cannot damage its black plastic exoskeleton and the human foot avoids preying on it because it knows not to touch the alarming and pain-inducing LEGO bricks on the exoskeleton.
The problem with General Grievous' Combat Speeder is not the obscurity of the vehicle, but the price and overall value. Obscure vehicles are usually well recieved, as we get so many repeats of more famous designs (x-wings, falcons, etc). $30 dollars for 2 minifigures and a very surface level speeder is a pretty awful deal. Evidently Grievous is a very expensive figure to produce, as most sets he's in are a bit overpriced. Doesn't help that the speeder was needlessly oversized. Would have been much better at $20
Galidor looks like a mix of Robot Chicken background characters
"Looks like a Chinese bootleg toy, assembled by the blind, and warped in the microwave for a few minutes". oh gawd, you actually made me spit take my tea all over my screen! 😀
Ngl, the Lego Nick from Galidor figure looks like a melted dollar store Mega Man toy you'd find in the clarence bin.
Even then that is being a little too nice
Thanks for this lego list :)
I saw it few days ago but i can watch it again
You say you’re not fond of spiders and then you show close ups up Aragog… thanks my arachnophobia went through the roof 😂
I'm sorry you're feeling stuffy. Hope you get well soon. Sending Love and Prayers.
honestly, being able to send spiderman catapulting out of the spider trike makes it my favorite just because of how funny it is to just send him flying
I hope you feel better soon Strider! I’ve loved your content for years, thanks for everything 😄
I wonder what are the Wierdest lego pieces?
14:57 just letting you know, those are called power blasts, by pressing on the sides of them while they are in minifigures hands they launch out of a minifigures hands. They actually shoot pretty far
I thought that the Technic C-3PO was supposed to be his unfinished appearance from episode 1.
That first one just made me wanna see what Lucas and Aragog would be like if paired up
pretty sure the C3PO was supposed to be the character before he had all the gold plating. essentially when anakin was still working on him
Hey, Stridor! Thanks for making this video! I’m happy to be one of the guys who requested it! By the way, I actually still have the Spider Trike set, and I didn’t see any problems with it.
"Lego Spider-Man 2: Doc Ock's Crime Spree"
In 2004 (Which was when Spider-Man 2 came out) Lego released a special 4+ set (if you can believe it) for the movie. They had plenty of other sets based off the movie. Sets don't always turn accurate but there's a difference between be accurate and re-acting a scene from the movie at all. this includes Spiderman riding a spidey helicopter (like since when does Spidey use a helicopter) to chase Doc Ock while escaping on a motor bike. (Why does Ock need a bike). The only good that comes out of this set is that it was only $15.00 and has a sexy looking spiderman fig, but all figs are reuses of Jack stone figs, which of course can't come apart like regular figs. This set also comes with a plastic hallow ramp piece so light it won't even stay in place. There's no way to attach it to anything. This bound to be THE worst Spiderman set in history of Lego Spiderman!
Was waiting for this Lego list. (Also, I like spiders.)
Spiders are underrated
Spiders are the best!
I can’t imagine being a kid in the late 90’s and going to the store to pick out a Lego set and you choose the znap jet car and then go home and build it just to realize it looks like something you would do for a group project
#8: I had that set in the past. My brother got me the set as a present for my twelfth birthday. Looking back on it now, I tried using those pieces to play the scene, even Anakin losing his legs and left arm. My brother would be upset because it was expensive, and I took it for granted.
#6: Seeing that in the thumbnail, I assumed that you were talking about the C-3PO promoting the release of Star Wars Episode I.
#1: Oh, God, I remember seeing the McDonald's Galidor figures in LEGO Magazine. Seeing that now, it looks horrendous.
I’m absolutely devastated that you have COVID at the moment, Stridey. I hope you get well soon. Great Top 10 List as always. 💚
Hey I have a video idea for you, Strider... how about, the top ? missed opportunities for Lego sets/ mini figures from great tv shows and movies. For example, Goosebumps, Miraculous, Nickalodian, DC, DreamWorks etc. Could be fun. Hope you recover soon, dude. 🙂👍
I get it. I'm terrified of spiders....but Lucas gets a pass. He's just too adorable to be scary.
You seem to dislike McDonald's toys, so I think you should make a "10 worst McDonald's toys" in the future
Nowadays its kinda justified, since they are produced in an evil country; China.
I feel inclined to share this definition from google: “Jackstones are stones in the urinary tract that have the characteristic appearance resembling six-pointed toy jacks. They are nearly always reported to occur in the urinary bladder, and the occurrence in less capacious renal pelvis is unusual”
Funny enough that C-3PO set would have been amazing if they had used silver instead of gold and then marketed as episode 1 C-3PO instead of episode 5 C-3PO, because it actually looks incredibly accurate to that one... and also classify it as a display figure not a playable one 🤖💛🤷🏼♂️

Biggest problem for Jack Stone? No bricks to create a support frame. Meaning the glider wings have no way to stay steady and flap-drop before they can attempt gliding.
Always a good day when strider uploads! Love the Lego themed videos. I actually got the Spider-Trike when it released. (Only for electro) Get well soon, btw.
I don’t know why, but I was so excited to see Miss Fisher appear in your NordVPN bit. 💀 I love that show.

As someone who had Covid myself, it really bites not only the dust, but ALL the sand at the beach. Please try to get better, Strider, we still love you and wish you well. Keep being you and reviewing what you enjoyed the most. Thank you for everything, mate, and always remember to have fun! 😎👍😇🙏❤️☕️🎼🎵🎶

Hey Strider. I hope you recover well from Covid
I question too how that Znap set even managed to even get past as a car, like, it doesn't even look like something by Kenex would make.
The technic C3Po looks some what cool to me. I would definitely buy it.
Yeah, it has some custom potential
You mean foo fighters?
@@KnuttDog what?
@@unused-d4r The c3po looks like foo fighters from jojo
@@KnuttDog OOOOH! ok.
Oh! I have the Grievous Speeder! I only bought it for Grievous and Windu. It was on sale in a grocery store for $15, so I thought it was a steal
I Honestly Find the Humongousaur One Solid but Not Great and the Aragon One Looks Good,Also Can You Do Lego Harry Potter List Please Phantomstriter.
Dont step on spiders unless its an invasive species
i think the technic c-3po might be based on his appearence from episode 1, where he was shown incomplete.
The C-3P0 looks like the version in Phantom Menace when Anakin didn’t get to finish building him😂 great video btw!❤️
I really enjoy these lists! I think you should do a Top 10 Worst Netflix Movies list because there's one in particular that really fits the bill of bad Netflix films.
365 Days? Pets United?
@@stephanniemorin Marmaduke.
I always thought that the weird C-3PO technic set was supposed to be like incomplete C-3PO from episode 1
I have those Galidor toys still! I had doubles that I never opened. Never thought I'd see something about them again!
Me when I see those two Lego lightsabers light up in the first set: time to combine both sets
The speeder having Mace is due to it being based off of a canceled episode from Season 7
Aragog must be one hell of a win for Lego if it makes you want to deliberately step on a Lego.
strider you should cover the best lego stopmotions cause some people are really good at it
Ooh I enjoy those!
Hope dtnaglia studios or the x fighters series (later seasons) are on here
Interesting thing about the Spider-Trike. In 1973, there was a comic in which Spider-Man is approached by a car company to make a Spider-Mobile, which Spider-Man initially thinks is a dumb idea. The only reason he goes along with the idea is because (at that point in the comics) he was desperate for rent money.
Glad you aren't feeling too bad with Covid! It unfortunately got me too a couple of weeks back. Luckily nothing severe, but did completely lay me up in bed for a few days
All of the Ben 10 figures sucked. It's like someone looked at Bionicles and said "We should do that but with none of the adaptability or customizability."

As a LEGO enjoyer, my thoughts on the sets:
10. Not much creativity with the spider design, also not much to do with the set so not a fun set for me.
9. The set I hate the most as the vehicle is not fun to play with, and mad that this is 1 of 2 sets that include electro, and it's the ultimate version of the character, which I hate the most as a lazy redisgn as he just looks like Living Lazer or Living Lightning instead.
8. Not interesting, and the minifigures fall out, the only interesting thing is the light function of the set.
7. I hate that this is one of the few Ben 10 sets, and it looks ugly and incomplete, which is saying something compared to how LEGO made the Avatar The Last Airbender set.
6. Would have work as the episode 1 version, but still would not have sold well.
5. A set I got on sale, and the reason Mace Window is here as a reference to the 2003 Clone Wars show when Mace crushes Grevious body to give him the cough we hear in Episode 3. Although, not worth the price as Mace only has the generic black lego head and doesn't stand out.
4. Can't comment as I never liked any of the Eternal sets that they showed.
3. Terrible set with nothing to do with the set, and I don't like it.
2. I am still mad that this even made it past the development phase as it's a terrible set that shouldn't exist as a LEGO product.
1. I have no comment, the set just speaks for itself.
You totally just blew my mind with the Galador McDonald's sets(or however you spell it)
As a kid, I had that blue alien, and when you're poor you just kind of played with what you had, and I always wondered if it was from something, but I never figured it out because I was like 3 when the show would've aired.
I had forgotten about it, and probably would've never have thought about it again, but the closure for my inner child is good, thank you sir
I actually remember the spider thing from Lego Harry Potter years 5-7 video game for the Wii.
Lego starwars sets always gave less for your money than normal lego sets because of the licensing. Same goes for all other licensed lego sets.
I bought the new dual on mustifar set just so I could give Kanobi the high ground also my older siblings had the old one and my sister vividly remembers the flipping of the figures
5:00 I actually had this set and it was one of my favorites. The light-up sabers, the collapsing towers, even the wonky stick maneuvering. I felt it captured the more epic, set-piece feel of the battle, almost like a video game.
The new set just looks puny in comparison.
9:54 man Freddy Fazbear has seen better days
lol
I wouldn't say false advertisement for the glider unless it specifically said it actually glides. You can't expect a lego plane to fly. However, most boat sets that don't actually float have a warning saying so. As long as the box accurately showed the glider was a piece of paper, you can't really complain about it because you saw the picture and decided to buy it anyways.
Get well soon buddy. Banger content as always! Whether it's worst or best your takes are interesting to listen to.
I used to have one or two of the Lego Ben 10 Constrax sets, and I can definitely state that even as a Ben 10 fan, the Humungosaur set was a disappointment because of how it looked and because the pieces were hollow from the back. The sets that I thought that actually looked good for displaying were the ones based on Big Chill, Spidermonkey, and Chromastone.
As a kid I remember liking those sets a lot because you could make some pretty wild designs when you mixed the pieces together like using the torso pieces and hands and using multiple sets of limb pieces to give them long arms and you made so really cool looking stuff at least to me back then. So humongusaur provided me with more peices for that if anything so I didn't really care how it looked on its own
I have a revamped version of the lego Aragog it looks awesome and it looks much better and its better about the design for Aragog and its much more true to the in movie spider. I have almost all the lego hp sets but they keep adding more to it🤣
8:16, he's actually a plumber.
Sorry u had covid, +Phantomstrider honestly I know how u feel...sending prayers of healing for you
I love how on the first one he said he would step on the spider,made of Lego,comedy gold!😂😂😂
