ALMOST Perfect... LEGO Ideas: Motorized Lighthouse Review! (21335)

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ส.ค. 2024
- The LEGO Ideas Motorised Lighthouse comes out September 1st for $300 in the US! This is an incredible build and I'm so excited to add this to our LEGO City soon!
The build was so much fun and this is a 10/10 set for me. My husband and I were able to split up the build so we could do it together, and the details and rock work look beautiful. The dark blue baseplate is awesome to see here as well.
LEGO Ideas set 21335 was sent from LEGO. All opinions are my own.

What is your favorite LEGO Ideas set? And how does the Motorized Lighthouse compare?
Some favorites are the: Treehouse, Medieval Blacksmith, Old Fishing Store. I think this Motorized Lighthouse is definitely a top 5! Those that work hard to afford this set are really going to feel that price tag though ... yikes
Ol' Fishing Store is my fave! Super fun build! Have it displayed in the sunroom of my house!
Hi from The Netherlands, I don't have a favorite ideas set yet, but my Lego Harry Potter Chess Board and the London Architecture Set look just stunning!
Talking about ideas, Can I use my own picutes for submitting new ideas on the website, or do I have to build it first? Happy Building!!
My favorite Ideas set is the Ghostbusters Ecto-1. My wife got it for me as a birthday gift when we first met, so it'll always be special to me.
Typewriter or the globe. Typewriter more cause it was more fun to build. But the home alone house is good too.
These ideas sets just keep getting better! Love the intro with the lighting too Emily!
This is probably one of my favorites recently... I love that it actually works well for display AND for the LEGO City!
My boyfriend has always supported my Lego habit but it isn't his thing. However, he loves lighthouses and he has been waiting for this ever since we first heard about it. I'm so happy to bring him into my hobby - even if it's only a one time thing. So happy for this and definitely a first day buy.
I'm hearing more and more builders/influencers mentioning how much of a waste interior or hidden pieces are, isn't it about the building process and enjoyment? I personally love the Easter eggs and show em off when any of my guests asks about a specific set. I do get how people feel like it's evil LEGO adding to the piece count to make more money.
This set is awesome with a lot of cool details and functions.
However the price should have been $250 at most. In tiago's review he shows how it should have been around $230 with the price increases
Thanks for mentioning the Australian price, as an Australian I'm used to all reviews being in American dollars so it's refreshing to hear an American cover our own dollars for a change.
At first didn't really like how this build looked. Howlever after watching some reviews. I'm really digging it. I floofing love the fresnel lens element in this build as it's really the stand out feature of the lighthouse and a appropriate the face the build is angled on the base plate. This would go Purrrfectly alongside the old fishing store in my opinion. 🐾
I was hoping to spot some references to the fishing store, but I didn't see any! I don't have the fishing store, so if you saw any references let me know! But yeah - at first I was not excited at all for this, but the build was so much fun! It is expensive... but I also haven't adjusted yet to LEGO's new pricing so I don't know what's fair or not anymore
@@Emmasaurus The only things I could spit from this video that the lighthouse and old fishing store have in common are an anchor ⚓️, some fish 🐟 and barrels. It's a missed opportunity that they didn't name a minifig Anton or hand that name somewhere else in the lighthouse as the old fishing store is actually called Anton's Bait Shop. 🐾
I plan to get this eventually. Plan is to display it next to my old fishing store. Will have to figure out how to combine them into one scene.
I think they'll be great next to each other!
It's sad to see such a great set be completely ruined by the price. Even Tiago Catarino agrees this set is overpriced. In fact, the vast majority of people agree. I just hope the original IDEA's designer isn't effected as most people will have to turn this down due to the price.
Every set is overpriced now, the obi wan vs Darth Vader fight set is worth $50 usd, and the galaxy explorer set is $130 usd. It’s honestly insane how expensive sets are now. Obi wan vs Vader should only 30 at max, and the explorer 60-80 max. And for this set I’d say 150-200 is about right, but 300?!?
@@scratch577 Where have you been looking with the Galaxy Explorer? It's $100 in the US on Lego's website
@@scratch577 na you're wrong. Just bought the galaxy explorer for 99 at the lego store. I
No he doesn't. He estimated between $250 and $300 and said that would be a fair price.
Bought Sept 1st, currently building, on bag 6...fun build so far, as for price, I have to take into account the lights, motor, and battery pack, those can add up...
A little cave in the rock work with a mermaid minifig would have been cool. Great review. 👍
A little hidden section in the rocks with a surprise fig would have been a great feature. It’s almost as if I was a toy designer in my career 😉 😆. It’s a great looking set. The design is awesome and the new light brick / feature is very cool. I would love for Lego to make more light options. It’s always fun adding lights to mocs as part of the concept.
please more reviews like this!
Don't love the price but planning to buy on double points. Love it too much
This is an awesome set, great review Emily! Keep up the amazing work! ☺️
Thank you Jeremy!!
@@Emmasaurus you're welcome!! Hope you're doing well! I started doing reviews on my channel. :)
Hey Jeremy
@@natemr4482 Hello Blue! Hope you're doing good!
The magnifier in the lighthouse is called a Fresnel lens. The darkblue baseplate you said that you don’t see that often. No it’s new an this is the first time its available. Next time do some better home work. The electric pieces cost together about 70 dollar so overpriced. Maybe a little. Will I buy it yes!
I can't wait until the first trade in! Awesome set!!!
The only critique I have for this set other than price is I wish they would have made the inside of the lighthouse to have spiral staircase as many lighthouses have that feature. That said, that's a small critique overall.
I wish I had setting to power it from the mains. I would keep it on all night
The set is max 230-250$ , 300 is way to much for a Lego non licensed set.
It is so hard to know what is "fair" for LEGO pricing anymore. It'll take time to get used to the new normal, but yes - $300 is a lot for this! I think $230-250 would be more fair, but again the price increase made things a bit wonky
@@Emmasaurus I get that they need to keep up with inflation and pay wages and pay for supplies and stuff, I see Lego increasing in price with inflation but my wage and purchase power is staying the same and is not increasing at the same rate. Sooner or later I think Lego might need to revaluate how they price increase. Instead of just a straight increase across the board they need to look at each set individually and then increase on market demand and popularity
I love it, but I also love the new 90 aniversity castle. so it's uhh going to be an expensive christmas for me :D
Never been this early to an Emmasaurus video, lets goooo
Hiii :) Glad you made it!
The set looks awesome! Can you change the lens or attach other trans colored bricks to it? Would be cool to make it red for when the city gets invaded :) also Emily, I know you want to wait until everything is perfect to show us your mocks but it is ok to show incomplete or things you arnt sure about. Even mockers like Robin hood bricks who is insanely talented get suggestions and help from his community with pretty much everything he builds :)
Thanks for the review. I just built this (BD present to myself) and yeah, originally I thought the $ was over the top but I enjoyed the build and the innumerable little details that are in this model sooo much, so that doesn't bother me anymore. The only thing that bums me out is that... It's finished. I tried to drag it out over several days but had a hard time staying away from it.
I've built several kits over the last few months (Ducati and BMW motorcycles, Lunar Lander, Brick Making Machine, Giza Pyramid, Bonsai tree, ISS) and it's really hard to pick a favorite. I think the best value for the experience is the Lunar Lander, which is another very clever design.
BTW I don't know if anyone else mentioned it (I didn't read all of the comments), and this is a nit for sure, but your LED light in the part right below the light tower can be seen at about 3:06. It should be hidden in the wall just like the other levels 🤭
Отличный набор на полку!
Thanks Emma. Nice review. Picturesque set. So one seagull and one cat? A fish on the wall. Any lobster or crab? 🤠
Great review Emily nice set
Old fishing store is my fav. This adds nicely to it. Also good for pirates with some mods to the house. I like the length of your vids. 6 min vs boring 20. Keep on bricking
I agree this set is too expensive! Here in Canada it's retailing for $380CAD. I would love to get this, but I would pay max $270CAD for this. So unfortunately I won't be getting it.
PS. You should dot your Millennium Falcon as well! Maybe every time you get a donation, you add one dot?
i love this set! i kinda want it now..... welp more money being spent... also did you get my letter?
I haven’t checked the mail yet but I’ll let you know when I do 🤗
@@Emmasaurus thanks!!
love it!!!
Pretty disappointed you didn’t touch on Lego creating a fresnel lens piece for this set. That $300 price tag also includes the R&D behind creating this piece.
How did you get that giant astronaut in the back? My father is a huge fan of these astronauts and I'm trying to find it for him
My girl neeeeeds this set so much (I will spoil her)
I just can't get over how beautiful this set is! If it is still in stock I'm thinking of asking for this for my birthday in November. (Even though I would love to have it Sept. 1st lol) Great video review!
Have you tried replacing the batteries with it fully. Built? Not an easy task. Anyone know why Lego did that?
Very nice set, I love it !Thank you for the review 😀
좋은 레고 리뷰 영상입니다. 행복한 목요일 보내주세요!
(Korean Say "Good Lego Review Video. Have a Happy Thursday!")
It’s Beautiful! 😻 💕
i really enjoy this set but i do not think it will be a day 1 purchase only because so much to look forward to at the end of the year. nice review!!
Totally fair! It's pricey, and I think it was important to talk about that in the video! I love the build, and I think this is something I'm excited about more than other LEGO Ideas sets (Medieval Blacksmith for example) because it does actually fit well in a city!
@@Emmasaurus Yes , i agree. the price point is a very big point. Also Thank you for being a huge inspiration to not only myself but to others in the community.
Hey moments of the magic ✨
@@natemr4482 hey howdy hey
Vraiment, je le trouve très beau. J'espère que LEGO continuera sur sa lancée et proposera d'autres sets avec les lumières incluses ! Comme tout le monde, je le trouve aussi trop cher mais je finirai par l'acheter (en promo si je peux) car il ira très bien dans ma ville 😍🚨
Wow the peaple crying about the price--
So maby buy the latest train set for $500 instead. This is a unique set-- price is perfect
I totally agree $300 is kinda overpriced, I get it has 2 light pieces but should be like $250 max maybe
i really like this set but what got into them when they chose some of the colors for the grass/rocks...
the lighthouse is fine but dayum is that piece of rock in the ocean fugly
This is going to be my favorite pick up since the Stranger Things set, nice review
Definitely redeeming my points eventually for this one. I love the ideas range and this one is great.
Have you purchased any of the Bricklink Designer Program Sets (Round 2) and do you plan to review them?
It's a very cool set but the theme isn't one I am enthralled with and the price just makes it a no go. Lego is really messing things up with these prices.
Lots of light houses in Newfoundland! Awesome set reminds me of home !
You mentioned Australian pricing. Im going to keep watching your video's and liking all of them. Thank you.
Very thorough review! It’s pronounced Gas-bay-zee
How noisy is the motor?
My 16yr old son wants this set but unfortunately in Australia 🇦🇺 the price is $470. LEGO happy for you to send him a set for Free 😉 you can alway wish 😂
Canadian here.. Gaspe Bay is pronounced Gasp Bay (I Gasp for breath).
I will buy this upon release.
I dont like the keepers face print
Personally, $300 seems like a lot. This feels like a $200-$250 set. That said, I have to have this. Day one? No. I'll wait for a decent promo. But I have to have this.
Cool. What motor, wires, switches, lights, & battery box did they use?
The battery box uses 6 AA batteries, and has two of the new conception ports. The motor is one of the smaller ones and connects to 1 port. The lights are split in two and connect to the other port , One goes to the top of the lighthouse and the other goes to the fireplace in the little house!
Every set is overpriced now, the obi wan vs Darth Vader fight set is worth $50 usd, and the galaxy explorer set is $130 usd. It’s honestly insane how expensive sets are now. Obi wan vs Vader should only 30 at max, and the explorer 60-80 max. And for this set I’d say 150-200 is about right, but 300?!?
love the idea of the set and the execution is pretty good, but I have to admit the price is going to put it on my list for later...... I just can't rationalize the price for this one.
Thank you for at least talking about the price. This price point is too high for casual collectors.
The amount of pieces in a set and price per part ratio is completely worthless at this point; otherwise, we'd have been all over the Star Wars diorama sets. I would've been all over the Super Mario Question Mark Block. But NONE of them are decent value overall for how small the end product is, which was a harsh lesson I got from the Grand Piano two years ago. I've no doubt they're all nice to build, having built plenty larger more costlier (but massively discounted) sets, but so many sets this year have been awful value compared to last year. Heck the Question Mark Block is now nearly the same price as what Pirates of Barracuda Bay set was! And the upcoming Bowser set does not look like something that costs anywhere near the massive £230 for something so relatively small overall.
For context, until the price hike yesterday, this lighthouse did cost the same price in the UK as the Ninjago City Gardens set, which not only has significantly more pieces and ELEVEN times the amount of figures, it's almost significantly larger in every way. I know this set has electronics, but they surely cannot add so much to the price.
I really want this but the price is a little steep for me. 🤩
wish the light was yellowish
Does the top light get hot? Because that wouldn't be cool. I'm 51 and recently got into Lego! I guess Lego is my midlife crisis! Lol.
#Emily I Won't Be getting it for my #LegoCity cause I Want to Build #Lego into the Future, and build a City in the Future so all the Lego I get will be into the Future of things in my #LegoCity Emily 😊👍🏼👍🏼, Everyone is building the same thing in the #LegoCity which is Fine, but I am heading into the Future of Lego Buildings in My #LegoCity for my self Emily 😊👍🏼.
Nice Video of your Lego Set that you got #Emily 😊👍🏼👍🏼.

Is tall
Is Lego paying Emma every time she says "rustic" now?
300 euro it s too much it s just 2000 pcs…and a really weak light
$300 is high but it's the right price for this.
You have 2000+ pieces, some of those are BURP's, a new colored baseplate, and an all new lens lego element. So that's about $200 to $210.
Then you have $50 hub, $17 motor and $10 lights. So that takes the model to $275 to $285. So at $300-, it's an understandable price for what you're getting.
Nice calculation. So this set costing the same as the daily bugle and twice the black smith makes sense? Our trains have motors (latest passenger one is with light too) which I bought 2 of for 110 EUR each at Amazon Germany so you can't exactly calculate it this way...also if you are a real Lego fan...who wants to pay so much for a new colored baseplate that may not match any of our existing ones if you were to place the light house in a Lego city? Nice to have for sure but paying premium for it is something 1 maybe 2 out of 10 fans would want. I think the issue is ppl like you accepting and trying to justify the insane prices giving Lego the green light to keep cranking the prices up. Hopefully collectors who own tens/hundreds of sets and have to be particular about the price will have to give it a pass although it is an amazing set.
@@tamerkabes1551
I don't want to pay $300 for this, but you can see where the money is in the set. You can't see that?
2030+ pieces. With large Burp elements, baseplate and motorized elements, lights, new fabricated lens element.
If you break it all down, that's $300 bucks of stuff.
It's not hard to understand the price.
Every line, every set has it's own separate budget.
So how much should this be with motorized elements, lights, large burps, new fabricated lens and 2000+ bricks. How much?
Great review! Doesn’t matter price tag us Lego ppl are brainwashed and will pay anything Lego desires. Those that worked for it feel it a little more. Even at $500 I bet ppl will still buy it.😎
I don't like this mindset😂 Don't be brainwashed! Let LEGO know how you feel!
Haha! You are clearly here to love hating Lego. I and many other fans think that the price of this one is overboard and we won't buy it. So no, not all fans pay whatever for any Lego set.
300$ ... I knew alternatives where you can get 7400 pcs for 250$ ... they lost the ground completly.
If this set would be like Bluebrixx 104382 the price would be somewhat acceptable.
Incredible but extremly overpriced. 😥😥😥
you talk too fastly
язык как помело
Check my name 😏
Are you stoned? Or why do you speak so fast?
A big step in the wrong direction. No licence, definitely too expensive, stickers and beautiful. Lego ist milking his fans with this 🤣
£265🤡🌍
