The carbine on the green soldiers isnt colored because they arent the same type of carbine. the black carbine is actually meant to have a foldable stock, the wood is just a regular one. The tan soldiers were so nice.
When I was a kid I bought one these at Walgreens and it was a Lego ww2 and the mini figs even had body army over them and a whole bunch of guns and the tank even had a three t lol. I got it so I could use it with my halo mega blocks which were better and cheaper than Lego.
@@darklord9581 Here in Germany we only had Toys R Us while i was young or little toy stores that weren't part of a brand and they only had licensed products. Now Toys R Us got replaced with Smyths Super Toy and it just lost it's magic at least for me.
The *German soldier* in black is actually a *Panzer* (tank) officer holding a *Luger* which was popular choice among tank crew. He is an officer because of his *medal, cap* and specially styled *jacket.* Out of the 4-5 Panzer crew he isn't a driver, loader, or gunner (most probably radio operator) because of his *binoculars* *7:29* However gotta say I enjoyed watching you build the *Panzer 1* light tank since it was renown for its *blitzkrieg* in the initial stages of the war.
@@APersonOnTH-camX No no, the P08 Luger Firearm was still used and manufactured during the the Second World War, however, the preferred choice of sidearm for Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS panzer crewmen would be the Walther PPK and or the Walther-P38, the P08 was used by Wehrmacht field officers, Panzergrenadier officers (Green piping), Artillery officers (red piping on their hats if I remember correctly) and of course Senior officers such as Generalleutnants and so on aka German High command. Towards the end of the war I believe the P08 was slowly ruled out and then the Walther PPK and Walther-P38 became German officers choice weapon. Adolf Hitlers personal firearm was a Walther-P38 or PPK if I remember correctly, but yeah the P08 was still prominent during the Second World War for German officers, even some NCO’s as well (Feldwebel, Oberfeldwebel etc.)
The SS (SchutzStaffel) and field officers also wore specialised leather jackets, including Wehrmacht motorcycle trained drivers. The black leather jacket during the Second World War can be associated with Panzercrewman officers (Leutnants etc) and motorcycle operators. But yeah, his medal I believe would be a Iron cross second class as it is on display along with his ribbon which I believe is a Iron Cross first class ribbon as if I remember correctly, the ribbon was to be worn but not the iron cross itself (unless it was a second class iron cross or a knights cross, knights cross with oak leaves or knights cross with oak leaves and diamonds, etc etc.)
I love the airborne troopers, and especially that BAR. The panzer tank looks really cool, the tank commander looks even better. The detailing on the German soldiers’ tunics are really cool. Their products are worth the prices
@@cheezyballz not really, they are just basically named their tanks to "tank I, tank II... Tank VI", or they gave them nicknames (Tiger I, Kingtiger/Tiger II), since the "Panzerkampfwagen" means "armored fighting vehicle" in a (probably) mirror translate (Panzer-armor, kampf-fight, wagen-car
For the first german soldier, you put the belt mag in the mg42 in the wrong side. You want the hot bullet casings going away from your arms, not towards
Was wondering why the DAK caps from the Indiana Jones set looked so weird and totally unlike a DAK cap. Then you mentioned something about U.S. civil war figures. Bingo, they just used the existing moulds from these and made them in a sand colour plastic!
Honestly I am a history person and I cannot say how accurate they are I just like how indeapth and detailed are german officers are that would have to be my favorite thing about the figures.
I think the reason why the head didn't want to be removed is from the lack of air or basically vacuumed shut, that's why if you look at some of the heads, there are slots or cuts inside the male stud of the head
@@thepostofficeprince8819 Yeap. Fun fact, that is the exact same reason why many pencaps have that little hole at the tip. It ashames me to say I learned that only as an adult, but still, lolz.
@@glidershower that's an urban myth. The hole in a pen cap is to keep it from vacuum sealing to the pen. It's not big enough to breathe through. Seriously, put a pen cap in your mouth and breathe only through it and see how long you last

“Lego will not make products that promote violence” Clone wars sets:😅 EDIT: omg thank for all the likes! It’s more like than all of my videos combined!
@@sarahmcglasson3064 but you know Star Wars never happened, knights and pirates is past. WWII is still "fresh". I think you know already. Best way to stop wars is to not talk about wars. Meanwhile in the East.
Among my very first Lego sets back in the late 90s, I had a cavalry horse carriage with a few guys in blue, armed to the teeth with revolvers, rifles and dynamite. So really, Lego has been producing these "illegal" weapons for ages 🤷🏻♂️ btw, Star Wars Lego existed back then as well, I had a few sets based on The Phantom Menace, but back in the day, the blasters were just these backwards megaphones with an orange transparent stud at the end^^
I loved seeing all the details on the mini figs up close! For years I've stayed away from collecting lego, but WWII era stuff would definitely get me into it!
My favorite thing in this video was the airborn troops. Like you said the printing was insane and the weapon on the sniper was so dope. The tank was also very cool especially the driver.
personally, my favourite is the panzer commander simply because of the detail, although the ww2 airborne squad pack was also quite cool simply because of the additional elements that they added like the watch. btw it is important to note that all those figures are printed on real lego that they wipe the print off of.
You know whats weird? That lego doesnt want to do anything with war but they do Star WARS sets where they DO have weapons such as blasters, lightsabers and also weapon equipped vehicles
@Mr. Foxo no they’re not, you’re just stupid firstly ww2 had a total of 40-50 MILLION deaths, whilst Star Wars is a movie, it’s fiction no one actually dies in star wars it’s all just acting, you can’t compare not wanting to make Lego figures surrounding any real war where people died with Star Wars, it makes no sense
my favorite thing in the video was probably the green squad. The reason is due because I love the simplicity of the figures which if you use it in a film you could use them as either national guards, recruits like privates, or a militia.
7:32 specifically a tank commander. Tank crew had black uniforms. Not to be confused with SS uniforms. Easy way to tell is that the tankers have pink piping on their uniforms, which denotes their branch of service. Also they have a skull and crossbones on their jackets. The SS also had this but theirs was different. They would usually have the SS runes one one side and their rank on the other (with the exception of foreign units which had their division symbol where the SS runes should have been. With the exception of the 3rd SS which was a German unit but had a skull and crossbones (known as the deaths head) wheee the SS runes where and the 6th SS (I think) which where Scandinavians but had the SS runes instead of their division symbol like the other foreigners.) And he’s got himself a P08 Luger.
more or less lego does approve fantasy violence as long as it's not any depiction of a real life war. its the same logic as with cartoons a lot of times with allowing swords and lasers but no realistic firearms allowed
Those official lego rifles were used in the 90's along with cattleman revolver prints, double barrel shotguns and muskets for their cowboy and pirate play sets.
My favorite thing was the utility belt that the one US troop had, I think that'd be a really cool idea for LEGO to use themselves. It'd fit in really well for construction workers or police officers in LEGO City sets!
In one captain America set that was like 10 dollars, for a short period of time the hydra soldier actually had a cool looking, realistic, pistol until it was eventually removed.
Lego: I don’t want to produce anything that promotes direct violence, it’s against my values. Lego seeing a universe where child clone soldiers fight robots programmed with emotions to the death: It’s free real estate.
The M1 Garand wasn't introduced with a scope until the Korean war, so it technically shouldn't be a part of a pacific set, unless it was intended to be Marines from the 50's
Some years ago I stopped by the Brickmania at my local mall and got a custom German figure. Ultimately I swapped out the head for a pale-skin head with Mr Dursley’s face print head which made him look like Schultz from Hogan’s Heroes.
I really love the panzer tank, i wish that Lego would not be only for kids because it could make great things associated with ww1, ww2, The cold war and more...
The reason to why the carbines aren’t colour matched on green squad is because the wood coloured is an M1 and the black painted one is an M2 carbine which is a switch fire M1 carbine(semi auto and full auto)
I remember wanting figures like this so badly as a kid, especially after owning a bunch of Lego Indiana Jones figures and making them into custom minifigures.
The sten gun was so unreliable that they were often used as a grenade of sorts. they’d lob the entire gun through a window because if they took a hard enough impact, they’d just start firing until the mag was empty, bouncing around on the floor and whatnot
![I Survived 1,000 Days in Hardcore Minecraft Survival [MOVIE]](/img/n.gif)

WDYM no garands? There were a few
oh didnt notice the one the green guys had mb
BIG BRAIN 🫡
Americans you mean nit green soldiers
Could also be an m2 carbine which was an automatic variant of the m1 carbine.
For the fact they are unofficial and not made by Lego they do look so high quality its impressive
A lot, if not most, non-lego brick companies produce higher quality these days. Especially considering their way more reasonable prices.

Advice for getting rid of the annoying focusing issues:
Put your camera far away, and zoom in. This will continually having your pieces in focus.
