Yes, I can't say category.
SUBSCRIBE so I can get English classes.
Do the Eiffel Tower than I’ll sub
You don't need English classes. Your pronunciation is perfectly understandable and makes you a more unique presenter. And I enjoy listening to the sighs of my girlfriend (who is a British English lecturer) while I am watching your videos :D
It is a fine Lego set selection you got there. Although, I am a bit surprised that the new Razor crest has not been mentioned. Maybe, we need another category (the best big Lego set?) to fit it in? :)
ahahahahah
You don’t need English classes! Your pronunciation is fantastic.
@@kidssadeqi3423 lmao
I was really worried when I saw the Hulkbuster on the thumbnail, but yeah, your choices are pretty spot on!
Mood
@@HollyOnFilm sup holly big fan lol
Same
and the black panther
I knew he had to be trolling a little with that pic. I mean he was literally sat behind the 3 most disliked sets of... well maybe all time actually. The Hulkbuster, Black Panther, and foosball table aren't going to be on anyone's top list.
I got super into Lego during the pandemic being mostly stuck at home with a lot of free time. I discovered this channel quite quickly and Tiago has helped me out with nearly every purchase I've made so far. This was a great video with worthy winners and I look forward to what next year has in store for Lego and this channel. Thank you, Tiago!
Great video! I’d like to see a “Worst of 2022” as well based on the same categories
For me it has to be either the orchid or The Starry Night. Both make for absolutely gorgeous display pieces, and while I’ve taken down a lot of my sets to make room for new ones, both the orchid and The Starry Night have stayed up since I got them, both shortly after release. My best budget set, though, has to be the Halloween cat and mouse. All the budget holiday display sets from this year were adorable, but that kitty is just about perfect in its design. I say that with full bias, since I’m the proud owner of one amazing black kitty cat. As for play value, the majestic tiger is superb for the price. It’s very pose-able, and for much of the year I had it prowling around my orchid, ready to pounce on the little bird that comes with it.
The orchid in person is amazing, as is the birds of paradise
Late to the show, but had to chime in, the Lions Knight Castle is my first LEGO purchase in over 25 years. NONE of the others would have even come close to getting me to do that. (though the galaxy explorer was close, I just feel like I can't go into that many different genres) They really elevated the old theme, while keeping the classic theme but modern updates, and evolving it into more city drama than just military. In terms of Scale, beauty, fun for all ages and sexes, diversity in action and city life adventure, universal theme appeal, etc... all adds up to the best offering LEGO has ever created. The only down side is there is not much else to go with it, and if it takes 10 years to get a decent line of complimentary sets then some may lose interest. Being new to the LEGO market I must say I was not pleased how they did the forest hideout and this GWP enticement on such top of the line sets. They need to go full sail and release a line of products quickly to revive this theme!
“Let’s do this again next near, shall we?” Yes please, this one was great! But also all your other videos, without which this one wouldn’t carry as much weight. I’m just going to keep watching each one, it’s much easier than watching or playing every Oscar/Game Awards nominee
Was so excited for this video Tiago I started getting into Lego this year and I’ve really enjoyed your videos it has helped me massively when it comes to decision making and increasing my knowledge and for that I thank you.
Looking forward to more epic videos in 2023
Glad to hear it! More awesome stuff to come, even before the end of the year! :)
Has anyone ever mentioned how fantastic your camera work. Its so fluid and I've never noticed it
Not nearly enough! Thank you for that. It cost me a few hundred dollars but I'm glad I upgraded my cheap $20 tripod for a fluid head tripod setup. I even got some sliders and new lenses to up the video quality so yeah, this comment made my day! :)
@@TiagoCatarino It really shows. I like the fluid movement, lighting, nice colors. And, not being a native En speaker myself, I love your accent, 'category' and all!
The Galaxy Explorer was my pick. But I am sure if I built the Lion Knights Castle that would take the cake. But yes out of all the crazy sets I have built this year for 2021-2022 sets, the Galaxy Explorer took it for me. I really do love the Lighthouse and it comes up in a close second for me. Great video Tiago!
I already love the decisions from the first 5 seconds
I don't, he chose a lot of overpriced useless sets
I really hope I can get the Lion Knights castle before it retires. I don't have any nostalgia for the theme either, but it seems like an incredible build, display piece and playset. I honestly wish more if the adult oriented stuff were more than just display pieces, I feel like I'd actually take them off the shelf to engage with them that way.
Same, thats why i bought it today 😂
Mine was the Galaxy Explorer. I have the Lion Knight's Castle as well, but I just love the nostalgic feel from the Explorer. Something about seeing the iconic space figures in 2022 puts a smile on my face.
For me the best Lego set of the year is definitely the Galaxy Explorer so I’m glad you picked it for best value! While I didn’t grow up with Classic Space as I was only born in 2000 I did grow up with other space themes like Galaxy Squad & Space Police III. The building experience is definitely the best I’ve seen from the few other sets I got this year with the Fast & Furious Dodge Charger being a close 2nd. Plus, it also has 2 other alternate models for a 2 man & 1 man spaceship as well which essentially makes it a Creator 3 in 1 set. Also, it’s only $100 which is a lot more affordable than other 18+ sets like Bowser & The $400 Castle so a lot more people can get it without having to spend a lot of money just for an Adult set. I got mine for 25% off at Walmart though which makes it an even better value than it already was! Definitely the highlight of my 1st year getting back into LEGO & I highly recommend this set to anyone who likes Space.
I'm personally a little sad to see Jazz Quartet not get a nomination for display value - truly a unique set!
It's a great set, but for a small audience
@@BlackringIII I get your point, jazz and/or live music isn't as popular as it used to, but come on? How many people ACTUALLY know about Horizon (the game)? I'm on both pc and console, and have never even seen gameplay of it? Some cool musicians in lego-form would catch so many more peoples eyes? Would they not?
@@ZodeeRL sorry but your point is lost on me, I'm a massive fan of horizon zero dawn and forbidden West 😂😂
@@ZodeeRL Horizon is a pretty massive franchise; the first game (PS4, PC) sold over 20M copies, ans the sequel (PS4, PS5) sold over 10M, and will probably increase in due time (especially after it goes on PC).
YES! My wife got me the Lion Knight's Castle for Christmas and I'm so excited to put it to together!
Loved your insights and opinion Tiago! Agree with most of your picks. And Lion Knight’s castle definitely made my set of the year. Loved building it and displays so well. And those minifigs!!! Chef’s kiss.
Hi Tiago, awesome video! Justice for Bowser though 😂😂😂 I think he’s the best set of the year from the piece usage, functionality, and display value.
I have and played with the original castle and I must say it's the set that I liked the most. If I had seen this castle when I was a kid, I'd be crazy over it. It really has everything you could imagine on a really cool medieval lego set.
The other big detail about the Lion Knights Castle is that it's a big source of medieval themed bricks and minifigs for your custom builds. It's harder to find good castle parts since Harry Potter makes up most of the fantasy themed sets.
Personally, I just placed an order for a few sets online. My sister said that she's never really put together a Lego set herself before, so I got the Hogwarts trunk (she's a Hufflepuff), the mini Disney Castle, and the Succulents botanical build. I'll probably split those sets between Christmas and her Birthday. She's also a fan of the paint by number apps on her phone, so I might get her a mosaic set at some point as well.
Great video, I loved that you looked at sets from a bunch of criteria and gave great overviews. For me the orchids win because theme and display value are the most important factors to me, but I'd love to build any one of the other sets you featured.
Your taste is spot on. Most of the lego sets featured here are on my list. You make a good case for the Lion Knights castle though for someone who doesn’t have any nostalgia for it and it not having any license, I feel it’s a tad too expensive even though it’s jam packed with features. I’m sure old time and classic lego fans would love it though.
I can't believe the Razor Crest didn't get nominated in any category! It's awesome
Thank you for the video, it was a joy to watch :) I'm an 80s kid, I just love to see the classics comeback. Although I don't think it's all just nostalgia and these sets are really appealing for all ages
I agree with the Orchid! It's amazingly well done and fun to build
Great Video Tiago! As somenone with most of these sets, I think all your comments are bang on. I'm only missing the foosball and Bowser. You're definitely making me reconsider the Bowser.
You should!
Bought the castle months ago and kept it in box for christmas. Really looking forward to opening it as Castle is my favorite theme .
honestly the trex set was the coolest one among all of them for me
Great video to sum up the best Lego sets of the year! I loved how you involved fan voting as well as giving your unbiased opinions on everything. Thanks for the awesome content and I hope you have a Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year!
Really great video Tiago! 👏🏼
Totally agree on the Lion knights’ castle as number 1 and I think the boutique hotel was a great one too
Incredible video! I love your delivery, your thorough analysis, and your editing! Your whole channel is a TH-cam gem!
As always nice to watch your reviews! Keep up the good work!
The pyramid is probably one of my favorite sets this year. Speed champion is up there too
I'd like to say thank you for wonderful reviews of the various sets you've featured. Keep on!
My favourite of this year is the mighty bowser, he's always been my favourite mario character and he just looks so good and chunky, also one of the most solid builds. I can barely get the vespa to stand properly but this guy feels like a proper brick, as he should be.
The Globe is my pick.
Awesome round shape, great display piece, sturdy design where I'm not afraid to let my guests take a look at it.
Nice video Tiago !!! Congrats . I have a question. How you clean all your displayed Lego sets?
Thx a lot for the video really good channel
Great list! Thanks for sharing!
This year I have been to the LEGO store (not online) before the shop opened. It was a nice experience talking to other LEGO fans. The opening of Luke's Landspeeder was with lots of people in row waiting and within minutes about 25-30 people had that set in their arms. The Lion Knights Castle was more exiting and the row of people was less than before, but we got an extra mini figure of a princess or of a magician. The last time was for the Eiffel Tower and for this also were people in a row waiting, this set however was very heavy and came with an extreem shopping bag. Somewhere in between these visits to the shop I went at the end of working day when Van Gogh's painting was first on sale. Every visit to the store was a nice experience.
Best building experiences and displaying for 2023: Luke's Landspeeder, Van Gogh (I am Dutch), Knight's Castle, The Lighthouse, Ferrari Supercar and the Eiffel Tower (enriched by coloured LED lights).
I'm so glad that my first Lego set after years of not touching a brick is the tallneck from Horizon, I absolute love it, it looks great, a wonderful way to reintroduce me to the world of Lego.
I think, UCS razor crest is one of the best sets, also in display value… maaan, it is beautifull
Can’t wait to see next year’s!
I built the horizon set this weekend.. first time buying and building a nice lego set, so fun and looks great on display
Yeah. That had to be number 1. I’d have gone for that too 👍. Not picked it up yet, but I will. Just looks epic.
1:43 Very relatable... Still using blurred backgrounds on video calls just in case co-workers see my UCS batmobiles
Lion Knights castle is probably one of the greatest sets of all time, but for the award I think Bowser is a close second.
it really is the best thing they ever made.
For me the set that I had most fun is 60353 - Wild Animal Rescue Missions
Well priced, amazing experience with actually FUN APP, and VERY good pieces. We need more of these!
Very good choices by you and the community, couldn't agree more!
Good. Choices in there - personally I don’t have the tall neck - but on your recommendation I will look out for it in 2023
Legend for putting hulkbuster in the thumbnail
My fav building experience was the Star Wars trench run I loved making the death star surface with the tiny pieces
You really got us with the thumbnail 🤣Maybe also do some Lego Razzies? Or would the Hulkbuster just win all categories?
All jokes aside, thanks for all of the great content, looking forward for all that 2023 is gonna bring us!
I have the utmost respect for the work of my former colleagues still working for LEGO so I could never bring myself to do such a video :)
Enjoyed the video for sure! But the best value category needs a bit of work.
I guess Tiago only had a couple of sets that he was basing this off, but there were a number of other sets that gave phenomenal value.
2:33 demogorgon cameo
Thanks for the video! I was debating what set to get and you helped me decide on the castle!
Glad I could help!
I think I’m in love with these sets 😍
I really enjoyed building the galaxy explorer and the lion knights castle. I wish lego would create a nostalgia line for remakes of past sets.
I am more amazed how lego has turned itself around to what it is making today. The have not slowed down at creativity in the sets. Yes some have not worked but failures show you are not afraid to innovate. Look at the old and current Eiffel Towers! No comparison between the old to the new sets!
Can you do a video on the best ways to sort lego collection ?
Yeah I get your point. As a adult is obviously the best set one. But unfortunately I don't have too much space to let this set in my room. So I prefer modular buildings :D. But I think you can also make a top underrated set on this year too man :D. Like your content and keep it up !!!
Awesome video!
Great video.
By the best value category you didn't mention the boutique hotel going up in price
Glad to see the hulkbuster in the thumbnail. In my opinion I like the look of the hulkbuster. But I do agree that there's a lot of gaps between the arms. But the UCS Razor crest is for sure one of the best lego sets to ever be released this year
All worthy winners, good picks! And as you said, as long as you can afford it, you can't really go wrong with the Lion Knights Castle! It has so much fun details and also looks amazing!
I’d love to get it. My only problem is figuring out where to even put it in my room
Exactly, IF you can afford it, but that is a big if: a lot of people won't be able to. And that is also my issue with this pick as overall best: in my opinion it should have been a set that more people can afford (so out of the 4 nominees the tallneck or the delorean).
Nice one! Love the idea of the awards!
Are the people asking you to review the Eiffel Tower wanting to create some 🔥. We all should know by now how you "love" a boring build 😁
Castle is indeed amazing, building it was joy, it is a cool display piece here in my office, and my kids love to pick up to play from time to time. All of that with no nostalgia from because even though I wanted Legos for most of my life, I only got my first sets last year.
Added to that the Castle almost gave me the same amount of joy I had with the Titanic last year, while costing 40% less.
the Lions knight castle suprised me and got me dreaming in LEGO again after 25 years....
I have the DeLorean and it's amazing. I had to move the seats one stud forward for the doors to close fully, though.
Genius idea putting the hulk buster on the thumb nail you got us good
I loved the Tallneck build even though I have never played the game. I got the orchids for my mom's Christmas present since their cat chews on any plant that they have tried bringing inside.
The Eiffel tower is the best one this year for me. But The mighty Bowser is close second.
Better than the Oscars
You are super correct on the buzz lightyear set I even took it apart just to build it again
To me it was definitely the lego bowser, it was the most enjoyable for me to build out of all of the 2022 lego sets I wanted
My favorite this year was definitely the Back to the Future set. I notice that you also made the same choice I did with my Ecto 1 and opted not to apply the rust stickers. I'm also not a fan of applying stickers to my sets but do so only when I must to make the set look right. Second place for me this year was the Hulkbuster. I get the critiques but I enjoyed the build nevertheless.
Same
What great categories!
I'm waiting on a tallneck delivery right now, happy to see people like it
I keep coming back to that one. I have never played the game but I love the look. I’ll get it one day
Where is the Hulkbuster? And the Black Panther bust? :o
In the thumbnail!
Great year-in-review! My favourite is also the Lion Knight’s castle. Second place Boutique Hotel. Third Place Tallneck. I have yet got to build the Eiffel Tower (still in box) but I think this might become my number 2.
Edit - aah yeah I still gotta build Starry Night, Orchids, Succulents and Pyramid of Giza as well. Giza didn’t get a nominee in any of your categories but I think it will become a favourite for me as well (I just love the ancient Egypt time and Assassin’s Creed Origins is one of my favourite games ever).
I haven't seen any reviews for the Eiffel Tower, but my main concern would be repetitive building sections. If the instructions are full of notes and facts about the build, it could make up for it.
On an somewhat related note, Savin Yeatman-Eiffel, great-great-grandson of Gustave Eiffel went on to create the series Oban: Star Racers.
que ano do caraças! Só sets excelentes!
Funny story, I’m 16, have autism, had an already hard time building the normal razor crest Lego set, and yet I still want the UCS version
You'll get there!
Yeah, that story is a real knee slapper.
@@dabearcub Don’t be rude!
The heart wants what the heart wants! I wonder if watching someone else build the set on TH-cam will make it easier for you to follow the directions. It’s definitely a skill that comes with practice.
@@danielleanderson6371 Don’t be funny!
Great video. Razor Crest got left out though.
Love the videos! Get this man to 1M subs!
Am I the only one who thinks that the stickers only improve the building experience and look cooler? Honestly I never understood the complains.
I see you have the same issue with the trolly roof as I did, where the part over the electronics is pushed up due to the wires. One of the things they should have put in the instructions was to remove one of the 1x4 stacked red plates from that side leaving just 1 (there are 2 on each side initially). Once you do that, the roof sits flush.
The Kniht castle cost the same than the other 3, for me Bowser is the best.
Great review, keep going 👌👌👌👌
I am so, so happy with these results!
I have the Tallneck and believe that the 'dish' head should be horizontal. It's a bit finicky but there is a position for the joints that allows the head to be horizontal :)
Correct, I followed a TH-cam tutorial for it. Turns out, (a lot) more people were building it slightly tilted.
i hope this becomes a yearly thing!
Maybe I buy tallneck tomorrow.. This video made me do it!
I got the orchard Lego set and it took like half an hour of people being in the same room as it to notice that it’s Lego. Only negative thing is the dust
Great selection! Now I just need money and a house to buy and display all of them T_T
Are you going to do a video on the 2023 blacktron gift with purchase set ?
I feel like the decisions made by the public most of them didn’t read the category and just picked the Lego set they liked the most which was most of the time the lion knights castle. For example in the best value, LKC had the worst ppp ratio compared to the other three yet the public still picked it.
This is a great idea for a video! I look forwards to next year's!
Me too!
The Galaxy Explorer was priced down to just 50 (FIFTY!) USD at Walmart the other week. If price drops like that continue, it will easily be the best value lego set for a while to come. I loved building it and as a 25 year old AFOL I have no nostalgia of Classic Space, but I LOVE the theme and hope they make more. I did end up buying 3 Galaxy Explorers just in case they don't continue Classic Space, because it has a bunch of great MOCs associated with it that I can build later.
Same deal personally with the Lion Knights Castle - no classic nostalgia for it but I LOVE the new and classic medieval sets. I do have a strong heart for realistic fantasy / medieval media, so I really enjoy that - but while I have bought three of the Blacksmith set (one at MSRP and two from a heavily discounted Costco sale to use in building MOCs) and one of the 3-in-1 Medieval Castle set (Looking to buy three to four more of those at hopefully 70 or less a piece for MOCs) I personally have yet to buy the ridiculously expensive $400 Lion Knights castle. If it was closer to 300 I would be more willing to pick it up but yeeesh that price! It is and will remain one of my White Whales for a good while.
Something I think should have been mentioned alongside the other functions at 3:54 is that the folding and unfolding of the castle wall actually makes the battlement into a balcony when folded, through a clever mechanism that makes the battlement slide into the castle wall. Blown away by that small detail!
Oooh man….i gotta go get that castle! 🍻
Wow these sets are really cool. Might get my little brother one of these
Bowser is really cool!
