The opinions I express are mine and mine alone and not for sale for any price. Ads, when shown, are selected & placed by TH-cam itself.
*Price is $150 USD as can be verified anywhere...* I made a mistake in the video (that as always cannot be fixed without deleting the entire thing; it's a published video, not text).
Not shown in this video: Major segments of the rocket/tank *can* be connected to the standardized square gray ports on other sets with Technic pins. It's not interesting to look at as the shapes & colors don't match, plus there's no suggestion of passthrough, but the holes line up.
Thank you for pointing that out. I appreciate the "little" bit of extra play value there (personally), so I appreciate it!
Oh, and thanks for your general work on these reviews Jang! The quality and honesty of your reviews are awesome, especially for holding LEGO to the high standards they, themselves have set. You're a super important part of the consumer's interaction with the market and it's really appreciated too! All the best man, and please do keep it up!😁
The Price is a new slap in the Face of any LEGO-Fan. And they keep forgeting, that this is a Kids-Set. LEGO: We Build only for rich could be there new Slogan....
love the vid! :) 👍👍
“Crew elevator” can be spelt “Cruella Vader,” who is a more fashionable yet much darker lord of the Sith.
The utility vehicle looks reminiscent of those John Deere utility vehicles you see on golf courses or at schools. Like the TE, TX, or TS 4x2
Ah, the gator!
Looks like an older Gator to me
Those are called John Deere Gators
I would've loved this as a kid!
The "terrain" thing seems pointless to me, and I would've used that bit of the budget to improve some of the things mentioned in the review (mainly the crew members having to parkour to get on or off the elevator).
I just realised why the geode is a different colour and the flames are there! It's because it fell through the atmosphere and landed on earth! That's why there's little bits of fire and the curve is only on one side! It's supposed to be the first one they find and then use, to make their presentation and ultimately fund the project to get more samples from the moon directly!
I'm sorry... I just love it and have to share, just incase this brilliant little bit of story telling doesn't get noticed! It's so adorable!!!🥰
Agreed, I think it's a 'meteorite' with a small crater and fire from impact.
Thanks for this, I couldn't for the life of me figure out what the flames were supposed to represent. I think this is a great theory.
The hardest working man in the lego business is at it again. Wow, I have never noticed a discrepancy in trans pieces before!! Ouch, that’s a tough pill to swallow.
That feature with the moving rocket on the screen is so clever. I also love that jeep kind of thing, it reminds me of old GI Joe vehicles. Perfect design and size and I love how it holds 4 people.
I rather see $100 here. It's LEGO exclusive in Germany, so it looks like I'll finally spend some VIP-points. Also, it somehow bugs me that this is for some reason NASA branded while every other set of the line isn't. It's confusing!
Love the new city space range too bad about the quality of the clear parts. Ever since they switched from polycarbonate plastic a few years ago clear lego pieces have had a cloudiness to them and I feel are more prone to scratches.
At 6:30 I think the “thing” that the little buggy is reminding you of is literally the Volkswagen Thing or Acapulco from the 70’s
This might be the only set where I'm excited about the action features. I'm in love with the chart showing the rocket orbit.
I'm so tired of the "chunk of bricks break off" feature. Glad to see some real creativity
the liitle buggy is very reminiscent of the Mini Moke imo
2:00 I would make different consoles and spinning seats. These simple improvements would have added playability of the room.
Yes!
Yes! Spinning seats!
The buggy looks a bit like a cross between a Humvee and a Mini Moke, which was an all-terrain/cargo version od Mini back in the 60'. You can see some of them in Bond films like You Only Live Twice
3:45 Oh gosh, I genuinely thought you were showing the different colour pieces, I honestly couldn't tell that all 3 were meant to be roughly the same shade.
Aside from that, looks like an awesome set, I love all the little features!
The “PowerPoint” as you put it in mission control gave us the spoiler of the Octan fuel tank in the rocket
I love that even though u clearly love Lego, u don't let ur feelings get in the way of talking about their short comings. I agree. They say only the best is good enough but they let the color differences on the same mold slide right on through? C'mon, do better Lego
@6:56 Hi Jang, the vehicle kind of looks like one of the buggies used to ferry people about in airport terminals. Is that what you were thinking of?
The recent city wave prices are insane. This is a cool set, but I think it should have been $100 tops.
Honestly, this is a pretty good looking set. However, it doesn't seem like $150 worth of plastic.
The set lacks a big ground plate or road plates, which would connect the buildings.
Its hilarious how biggest set of the line is the weakest one. Dont get me wrong I LIKE the builds (especialy this Jeep-rover), but its like...There is almost nothing do do here...
60228 wasnt perfect but its MUCH more fun than this one.
Sets like this just show how good of a deal the LEGO Ideas NASA Apollo Saturn V is.
The vehicle kind of looks like the “Volkswagen Thing!”
Could it have been the old Mini Moke vehicles? The style is very reminiscent of it.
This is definitly a great set! The play value is way up there! Lots to do, that rocket is fantastic, with lots of room, aside from the miscolored windows, a great set! Amazing review, Jang!
The small buggy looks like an open golf cart, I quite like it. Well I guess you just call them carts when they aren't for golf.
I think the geode and terrain bit is meant to be a crashed asteroid containing the "life" stuff, which inspires the whole mission series to find more of it. Its dark grey instead of silver because it burned during entry.
That tiny little Robot just needs a circular eye and it becomes a remote HAL unit.
Why do the other sets just have a Classic Space-style logo, but this one has actual NASA logo and lettering? Also the design of the rocket, all makes this set more realistic than the others. Of course, you wouldn't have all that stuff inside the fuel tank, but you can't see that from the outside anyway. And I love the Octan tank haha!
The color mismatch on the trans light blue canopy is ridiculous. I mentioned it before, that while I can see why you wouldn't want to bother with getting this replaced, others may want to get ahold of LEGO if this happens with their personal set.
I cannot stand the weird color scheme for the astronauts, or the ground crew. The two scientists look good. I think that guy looks like Albert Einstein without the mustache haha!
I imagine the poor kids of Flatearthers wanting this so bad and their parents being like "NO, IT HELPS THE CONSPIRACY"
This is a great set
Fun fact they douse the platform with water to prevent shock waves from traveling back up and damaging the launch vehicle
I think the rock might be meant to be a meteorite that hit the ground on Earth? The fire looks like it’s from the impact, and it could be darker than the others because it burned up in the atmosphere. Would explain why there’s a plant too, and the ground is only raised on the side opposite to the flames.
4:35 I work in plastics (they mold them, I print them) so I work with quality control everyday and not being able to produce the correct color (amongst ALL the other problems) is a major issue. This issue here with the lighter almost colorless bricks would have been a customer complaint, scheduled meeting, review, follow-up, corrective action.... and likely, where I work, a Repeat offence since we can't get anything right! Hahahaha... I expect more from Lego, but the top print on my new Lambo Countach tells me I shouldn't hold my breath.
The "interior" of the rocket realy surprised me, especially the Octan fuel tank. Nice touch to have those colors in the feeding pipes outside as well.
Considering the foldable windshield it looks more like a Citroen Méhari than a VW thing/Acapulco
Furthermore there is a version of the Méhari without doors
I love the tower, but the actual rocket I don’t like. When you consider how the actual sls will work, I find that the crew compartment inside the fuel tank is a big no. That means that if you want to realistically separate, you will leave the crew behind. I have and love the previous big LEGO 2020 (can’t exactly remember the year) space line and set, so I don’t think I will get this. However, it is good for play and the launch pad is amazing. To each their own I guess
I would love that transport-utility vehicle in a €10 set so much
14:24 we found the one thing Jang does not have experience in
Always appreciate your enthusiasm!
The vehicle is like a Mini-Moke or Citroen Méhari.
I really hope there will be a bigger and more detailed SLS set at some point, ideally at the same scale as the Saturn V so they can be displayed alongside eachother. This is alright but not really my cup of tea.
I had to skip these sets due to a lack of space lol
Hey Jang, great review. This set immediately reminded me of 60228. How does this compare in your opinion?
This wave's design is very similar to the space designs we had in Lego city undercover
Great details in the set, the only gripe is the fact that the structures are disconnected. I don't mean just having the two buildings connect side by side, but to have the launch base as a continuous unit, with elements like walkways, etc. Bringing it it all together, creating a continuous play narrative, where you can enact events, rather than having each building serve its seperate function only...
8:48 Psilocybe Nebula?
I'm in love with that jeep style transfer vehicle, reminds me of 2010 Lego City stuff.
The small vehicle reminds me of a Mini Moke
String with stud might be my favorite new pieces.
The set is great, I don't like the rocket. Looks just like the real thing but isn't my favorite.
This rocket is amazing. glad that they brought back the modular system
The 'Jeep' = Mini Moke?
There is so much to this. It just kept revealing new parts. My assumption about the metior was that the observatory had tracked it coming in, landing on earth and then the rover going out to pick it up. They study it in a lab, and put the active enzine into the fuel tank to get the rocket somewhere that can use a rover.
hmm I wonder if you could attach the shuttle from LEGO Friends Olivia Space Academy 41713 to the rocket? would be insanely cool
Citroen méhari !!! It's a french opened car made out of plastic... It's the french WV dune buggy 😉👍
looks to me like you could attach a space shuttle to the rocket, i wonder how well that would work with the launch tower and which space shuttle models look good on it.
The Teleskop Dome looks like a Star Wars Hoth Ion Cannon :O is this a foreshadowing for a Master Builder Battle of Hoth ......hmmm~
I took me a little bit to figure this out, but you can replace the crew capsule in this set with the one in the Lunar Space Station capsule (both 2022 and 2019, but mainly 2022.)
They should make a launch stand set for the UCS saturn V, with an 1-1 minifigure scale Apollo CSM
Normally I've always seen this set for $160 USD. My brother found it for me at Walmart on clearance for $90. I can't wait to build it!
I agree... no apology is acceptable... 3:53 ... and it's a _growing_ problem!!!
I'm really loving these City Space sets but the quality check on those trans pieces are really kinda disappointing.
Ah, the scientists are Dr Wylde and Dr Ravenhurst from the show! I'll have to get those from B&P.
Id say this is not worth 150 because I got a Lego Saturn five which is 40 inches long for 120 and it’s really big But there might be a key detail in this one I don’t know
Whenever I see a Lego set I like I Always go to Jangs to get an honest option before I buy it, have been for years now, I’d just like to add that the vehicle looks like a ‘Mini Moke’
Oh hey, is that a graze behind you?
I enjoying watching your gunpla expand silently in the background
The SLS by itself looks almost good enough to be a display piece. The garage part of this set is a waste. The part count could have been used in a more exciting way like more terrain to explore of something.
That minifigure to the right on the last minifigure screen is Natalia's father from Lego City undercover.
ok this hurts. No way I can do $150 for this. But I need that little crew transporter and that model SLS is adorable ;3;
Lego should have done so much better with this kit. I suppose it’s a bit like the actual SLS. Under delivered. I mean the tower doesn't even go all the way up to the capsule!
The garage looks like R2-D2
Oh, you're not wrong, but I got strong Dalek-vibes there instead.
the utility vehicle reminds me to a mehari, a citroen kind of sand buggy, lightweigh from the 70 and so on.
Already $120 at Costco online and in store where it's in stock
I'm waiting for the white and the trans lightblue dome pieces to pop up on bricklink
You could probably convert this into the fuel tanks and srbs for the 40 dollar space shuttle
The scientist minifigures look great, especially the hair pieces, also really digging the ground crews' colours. It's overall a good toy with a lot of hits, unfortunate that it also has a lot of random little misses everywhere.
I think the random rock might be representing a meteor (?) since there's fire next to it and its sitting in a half crater.
I think the cart is supposed to be a Gator, like what they use to cart injured football players off the field
Why Does not lego spend the cost of two litle plate pieces for rotatory chairs in a set?! I have always wondered....
The little car reminded me a VW Thing (as called in the US, en Mexico was known as the Safari).
They should make the wrong colored trans light blue an official color it would look cool in costume builds
I might modify this set so all the buildings including the rocket stand so all of them connect
I don't like the shuttle at the bottom very much because it just doesn't look realistic
Different design but the little robot reminds me of WALL-E.
As a fan of trans medium blue, sadly I don't think they make it anymore.
that scientist also looks like a young doc brown.😁
The top of the rocket should have had a compartment for a little satellite...
The solid rocket boosters remind me of giant white crayons
With how expensive this is, the quality in those clear pieces is horrible.
i think the utility vehicle might be based off of a gator or one of those John deer jeep things
I love the parts for the fuel tank + booster , can be re-used as spaceshuttle tanks as well.
I think that space rock is supposed to represent a meteorite that skidded to a landing on earth
so Funny in Space why there is a COCONUT lolss hahha
The Utility vehicles looks like its aping a polaris or sometihng similar
Just wondering.. the vehicle looks like a Mini Moke to me
My first association is Mini Moke considering the vehicle.
The utility vehicle looks a little bit like a Warthog with no turret in the back
I like that the fuel lines use the Octan colors.
This set looks like it is based off of the Kennedy Space Center.
I like the rocket flying through space
