To clarify: The 50-minute chrome sticker application time was on a live stream with hundreds of viewers and I was trying to some degree to show what I was doing in lighting optimized for viewers, not me, while also narrating my thoughts & actions. Alone with full concentration surely would have been quicker.
It’s fine, we had a great time 😅⏱
It was fun it’s fine
I got an air bubble in one of my larger ones
It took me 50 minutes to apply them as well because I was aiming to get them perfectly lined up.
It is all about patience 😑
There's not a better LEGO set reviewer than Jang, I'm convinced. He's out of this world!
I love Jang's reviews because he is so honest about everything
"If you're interested in this set you've probably already seen pictures and other reviews so I'm not going to repeat what you already know"
"I'm not an expert on the source material"
I love everything about this set, and 100% going to buy it even tho I have no space to display it. sounds like a future Pikalika's problem
Huh
Having "no space" to display this "space shuttle" is something that needs to be solved 😊
I wish Lego had included a 2nd sheet of the chrome stickers. Being able to mess up one or 2 and try again with a fresh sticker would relieve a lot of angst.
Whatever happened to them including duplicate sticker sheets going forward?
I would get a replacement from lego
The other reviewers' reviews for me are largely just picture reference. Jangbricks' reviews is the one where the set's review opinion matters.
Right!! I even have the set and I'm still watching the review!
Yea haha
LEGO have a guide to the best way of applying stickers on their customer service page it is as follows:
Our designers have shared this trick for applying decals: lightly spray a window cleaner on the surface of the parts to be decorated. This will allow you to adjust the decal without damaging it. Once you have the decal in the right place, use a flat edge to smooth out any bubbles and let it dry.
I haven't yet tried this method of applying stickers so don't know how well it works or what the best cleaning solution to use is. This is coming straight from the LEGO website so I imagine it doesn't do any damage to parts of stickers but I would recommend trying it on less important stickers to practice before moving on to the more important ones.
I just wish they put this in the instruction manuals because so many people don't know about this technique, including me until quite recently.
This advice is sound. I build filtration units and we use exactly the same technique on our decals. It really works well to make application a breeze, and our decals outsize the largest Lego sets.
Sticker application is a seriously tricky thing to get right, but definitely worth taking time to perfect.
Having bought lots of second-hand LEGO sets with badly applied stickers, I've found the method of using tweezers to align the corners and keeping a consistent margin from one side works best for me.
If any stickers are askew, you can use a hairdryer on low/medium heat to soften the glue and move the sticker using the above method, without causing too much damage.
I've used this sticker technique on both Ninjago City and Ninjago City Gardens (was simply never interested in Docks), and I'd vouch for it 100%. It doesn't affect the adhesive in any way, and it was an absolute godsend when it came to the clear-backed stickers: making sure they were on right with no bubbles was essential, and this method did the trick.
4:28 I like this shot, good camera work jang
This might be the most accurate Lego model I've ever seen. I also grew up during the decline of the Shuttle program, and seeing this is like going back in time when when the future looked as bright as the stars.
Lego finally found "THE" perfect application for exposed Technic connectors
Edit: Love the OCD levels of symmetry
Jang, when it comes to looking into big sets which I like the look of, I actually just wait for your review! Just a funny thought that might not have occurred to you - but you are my, and possibly others, main source of news and reviews for Lego.
Jang is actually the only reviewer I watch :P
@@Funky_Player2 same
Nah the ones that are shot in one take on someone's kitchen table with audio recorded by a potato are the most reliable. Sorry jang
Yea Jang is very knowledgeable and professional in his reviews, and his vids r some of the best in reviewing these kinds of sets
I think this is definitely one of the best sets of 2021! I love space sets in general but this one is incredible for display, and I like the integration of play features too, like the controllable elevons.
It's a "shame" we "only" got those play features, in an interview the main designer said that originally the engines were to control even more features, but got cut due to the complexity of the build mostly.
Really amazing set, I hope lego makes a ucs razor crest using these metallic silver colored parts
Almost thought it said ucs rancor lol
Nahh, I'd like to see CHROME🥵🔥
@@olivertreesbowlcut9769 drum-lacker, babeee
The razor crest basically is ucs
I’ve just started watching your Lego channel. I ordered this set yesterday! It’s very nostalgic to hear your voice coming from your RC channel previously. I still have two of your cars here in Australia!
That's going to be fun for you. You may want to watch some of Jang's live stream build of this as he gave lots of tips and advice while he applied those large stickers. Enjoy your new set!
Same man! I ordered mine 2 days ago!
Hey Jang, this is, literally, the 5th time I have watched this review. The key difference this time, however, is that this time I had my very Discovery right next to me, I completed it last night. Having watched the launch of Columbia on TV as a 7-year old, I have been totally captivated the Space Shuttle program my whole life. I was gutted when the program was cancelled. But the joy in finally owning this piece, and Hubble to boot, it incredible. And the building experience, wow, probably my best ever. I am a serious AFOL, almost exclusively Star Wars, with the NASA Idea/Creator sets a close second. I have basically all the major Star Wars UCS and Master Builder sets, barring the hysterically priced Star Destroyer and Millenium Falcon. With that for context, this is for sure my favourite set to own and build to date. With the Tantive IV, Saturn V, Mos Eisley Cantina and Lunar Module filling out the Top 5. Anyway, this comment is already far longer than originally intended. Thanks for all you do for the Lego Community
I saw the last launch of the Discovery back in 2011! Truly amazing to see and hear a space shuttle launch! I might pick this up for memory sake😁
Just measured my shelves and found out the max weight, height, budget, etc. I can get this set!!
I built a shelf extension for mine to put it with the eagle (lunar lander), Saturn V and ISS.
It's deceptive, the box/website only gives the size for the orbital vehicle, but not the included telescope. I have it on about a 14d by 27w shelf. It fits, but I have the shuttle at a slight angle so it only obstructs view of the upper part of one solar panel on the telescope.
Well versed, curated approach to reviewing sets is what makes me always come back to your reviews. No matter if you are or are not an expert on the source matter, you always find a way to keep me hooked throughout even the longest videos. Well done!
I can really see the happiness in your eyes talking about this fantastic set.
Loved the review, JANG! It's such a fascinating model and I'm happy to hear you're keeping it around on display!
No doubt about it, this is a very very impressive Lego set and it looks amazing! They did a great job representing the Space Shuttle Discovery, just fantastic! You can always leave out those mirror stickers if it's too much of a delicate procedure for you, unless you're ready to take on the challenge! Great work, Jang! Sorry I missed the live build, you do excellent work!
Great review as always.
For applying this big silver stickers on curved surface I would definitely recommend Wet Application Method, using Water (500-800ml) + Baby Shampoo(5ml) solution. This combo is commonly used for application of all sorts of Vinyl on other items, MTB/road bikes, cars, etc. It worked great on this build, you have some time to adjust stickers, just wipe excess water with microfiber cloth and you are done. I finish this portion of the build, using this wet method fairly quickly, no stress or fear of applying stickers crooked.
Another amazing review. Picked up this set last week and the Aston Martin is coming in the mail today. It was your review that assured me to purchase it.
Thanks, Jang. Enjoyable an informative review:)
Im in love with Lego Space at the moment!
Oh god... those stickers... I totally feel you, Jang!
Thank you for that nice and well balanced review. Best review so for :) Well made and edited. I've found all the information I was looking for.
After your review, I am going to buy this set. It just looks awesome and you showed a lot more info on this set then I have read anywhere else. Thanks Jang, again!
Very well done. I loved your commentary and was very much looking forward to what you had to say about this set. This is one AMAZING set! I have always wanted a large, detailed model of the Space Shuttle and this fits the bill Lego or purpose built model. Plus, you add all the play features, the sturdiness of the entire build and that phenomenal Hubble Space Telescope and I am more than satisfied with it. Work has been extremely busy so no time to puy my Shuttle together yet, but even having the box on display is pretty impressive. Again I am just in awe of how this set turned out. With the accuracy of this Space Shuttle and the previous Lego ISS, Lego Lunar Lander and Lego Saturn V, as display pieces on your shelf, Lego is giving purpose built models a run for their money. BTW I am not even bothered by the slight variation in the white color of the bricks because the outside of the actual Space Shuttle is made up of those individual tiles and for me this just adds to some bonus authenticity because not all those tiles match exactly as well especially the ones that where replaced. Thanks and well done.
Amazing model! OMG putting those stickers on the payload bay doors with windex makes it sooooo easy to apply perfectly aligned.
Thanks for your honest review!
Soapy water when applying the stickers were a revelation to me. Never did that, will always do it from now on. It just worked so good here ...
This set looks stunning
This is one of the best demonstrations with commentary on any Lego set that I've seen.
I witnessed the whole build! It was awesome
thanks for another thoughtful (and enthusiastic!) review.
Gets me excited for this weekend when I hopefully can purchase this
Can’t wait to pick up this set. Your review really sold me on it
Just built this set last weekend and it's brilliant.
Awesome, I have it waiting to be unboxed. Think I may need to start building now.
Great review! Thanks
Insane set!!!! Thx for the really helpful review!
Beautiful. First Discovery was always my favourite. Anyway, one thing to mention is that the pieces that remove from Hubble to put the stand on for inclusion in the cargo bay is representative of the access to the repair on Hubble. I thought that was cool.
Finally, when you said cargo doors all I could think was, Open the Pod Bay Doors please Hal. Yet another Discovery. :)
Thank you soo much, what a great video and what an cool piece!!
Both this set, as well as your review put a big, big smile on my face. I did not find the chrome stickers that annoying to put on. Took me about 20 minutes. And I got one drum lacquered piece that wasn't quite as opaque as it should, but the result is as stunning as you indicate... Not only this set it spot on, but your reviews are as well. They really bring me joy in these times.
Simply an awesome set!
Thanks Jang. The set and review are Great🤠
Just finished mine. It’s amazing! Would recommend
Man, this set really is gorgeous. I think Lego knocked it out of the park here.
Awesome review! I would love to own this set some day, stickers and all.
I had to buy a special magnifier with light to do stickers because my eyes don't work as well as they used to, so sticker pain/dread is real. OTOH, I have had good luck with cutting stickers off the sheet with their backing still attached. This has allowed me to pre-position the sticker and just peel the backing off as I go. It looks like the this would work with the silver ones for sure.
God I absolutely love it, I want this set so baaaad, beautiful space shuttle
I am building this with my son in the evenings right now. Just finished bag 5. Seems very good so far
Good Luck!
with the stickers
Great looking set for sure
The live streams were great Jang- can't wait to do it again!
This set really makes me smile
Just came in the mail today!
Can’t wait till mines is finished!
Looks beautiful
Really impressing
great review man, after seeing your review, I've just ordered one, last month I bought ISS after seeing your review. I'm a big astronomy fan.
I got this set for my birthday, and I loved every second of it. As for the stickers on the interior side of the service bay panels, I was either really lucky, or my experience really paid off, because each panel only took a few minutes to apply all of the stickers. Also, while typing this, I did see your comment saying that you were having trouble applying them because of poor lighting.
the Hubble is making me excited for finally getting some representation of Padme's royal ships. A lot of toys I remember from the era used a similar silver and I think it'd look super good. Great review Jang!
Yesss omg I need the J-Type Nubian Yacht it's gorgeous
I just got this set for my birthday. Can’t wait to build it!
This was an awesome build. The stands were super nice. Normally I am unimpressed with the stands. These are nicely designed.
My dream set!
I love this set. If you use a gray 1x2 plate w/horizontal clip and a couple extra pieces from the set you can make a very realistic Canadarm spacewalk apparatus for a minifig to service the Hubble just like STS-61 (minus it not being the Endevour) but still wicked cool. Scaling is close enough to display IMO
This is the 3rd time I'm watching this review. Twice on friends accounts and now on my own before sleep. I think I'm gonna get this! Cheers JANG. Lee 🇬🇧
Incredible set
Brilliant set
A fantastic review of a wonderful set. I'm so looking forward to building mine. And not having hundreds of people watching me while I apply those silver stickers 😆
This Set is so fun to own can’t wait to someday display it 😄
This is so cool
I really like the leading edge of the wings and the build up around the engines. Not too keen on the black hinges.
The real shuttle had black hinges too.
It looks so cool!
Gloriously cool🤩
That looks massive
Mine is already on the way to me!
Awesome review! Currently building this! Just finished bag 9. (Front landing gear. What a pain!) recently finished the Saturn V and space station, have the lunar lander on back order. I’m not looking forward to stickers, I have a bad case of the shakes due to battling some medical issues but I’m patient for the most part. Definitely subscribed!
That shuttle looks awsome
Cool set and great price point. I’m thinking about getting this one, it looks nice.
Jang once said:
Don't like to apply stickers? Don't apply them. I will buy it, will have it always closed, so no big deal. Thank you Jang for the excellent, informative review.
I grew up loving the space shuttle, and when it was announced that the shuttle program would be cancelled, i was destroyed (i was only nine years old). I’m so glad SpaceX has revitalised NASA.
Also, is it just me or does the space shuttle look amazing? Like, it’s design is timelessly cool.
Awesome set. Just got to buid mine.
Yes the it looks amazing. I've been inside the shuttle.
Great subject for lego.looks great.Stickers are not an issue for myself.Having built static models and r/c cars for a long time,I have applied much more difficult decals.Just take your time,and you will get there
Decoration-wise, the Shuttle seems like an accessory for the Hubble. I'm not knocking the Shuttle, but the Hubble looks amazing.
Great review. Outstanding set all around. Definitely plan to get it some day, however those payload door stickers are already haunting me.
I had decided not to get this but i've changed my mind again. Can't wait til it arrives :)
The jang is in love.
I want more space sets
I stayed up until midnight to order this one so I could get it as absolutely fast as possible. It is a triumph and something that I will cherish for years and years.
This set is a masterpiece ^_^ I have it exposed at my workplace :) All your comments are very coherent to the build! I love your videos by the way! :)
I just bought it and built and now am watching this
Awesome review! ;)
Like always great review their my friend you are definitely the best reviewer out there makes me want to get this set even more despite all the little issues now if only Lego would do a set to include the solid rocket boosters and the fuel tank and maybe also the launch tower for it that would make an ultimate collector's set hopefully they will do something like that in the future in the meantime they need to keep doing great sets like this😊👍😊👍
I keep the Hubble for mine displayed rising out of the cargo bay with the Canada arm, but I also put the full solar panels on it cause they don't store well. (it wasn't possible in reality, but it looks awesome) The "rolled" panels just sit loose in the bay. I don't enjoy the leftover Hubble stand and side part that just lay around. I thought they could have made the Hubble stand convert to the cargo bay stand without much fuss.
This set and the Saturn V are my two all time favorite LEGO sets, for their incredible design and play features that enhance the experience of owning and talking about them with others. I very much hope we get more NASA space vehicles in the future. The IDEAS set of the various space probes is very attractive!
An absolutely gorgeous model. Between the Saturn V, Lunar Lander, ISS and now the shuttle, Lego has been knocking it out of the park with the NASA sets the last few years. Hope to see them continue to do more realistic space models.
Very cool design. I wish I could buy this set! But right now I have to pick and chose. and I already have the Saturn V and that set is a lot closer to my heart.
As a Canadian I think Lego could have included an extra printed peace for the Canadarm :( I know it they would not put on a small set like the ISS but this set is big enough that it could have been done and many Canadians are now moding their sets with a sticker or 3rd party part.
woahhhhhhhh i didnt know you were still on youtube!!! Im coming from your old rc channel. much love! happy to sub again.
The Hubble is the highlight for me.
Welp, knowing myself I will probably take 2 hours to apply the stickers to get them right because I really haven’t placed many big stickers. Good thing the final look is glorious simply GLORIOUS!
