Honestly appreciate that you're being honest about its price value despite having recieved it for free.
The light isn't as bad as some people have said. I was expecting it to be dim, but it projects pretty well. Nice set, sadly for almost $400 CAD, I will have to wait
Definitely cool. I’m in law school now, so my Lego buying is significantly reduced for the next few years-especially with the price hikes. This set should have been $250 IMO. The wind turbine from 2018 was $200 and this is pretty similar. I could get a $50 dollar price increase more, but $100 more just seems a bit much.
Well the infaltion isn't 33% so the price should be 220$ maximum
I love the dark blue baseplate actually, I think it really adds to the mystique of the set.
Can’t wait, love lighthouses…
Beautiful set, aweful price ! With all the inflation for basic supply, rising prices for heating and electricity, I fear many may simply not pick it up because we need our money to cover the rising costs on all fronts. I am a lighthouse fan all my life and was waiting for this ever since it was announced. Now I struggle whether to get it or get the castle which I still haven‘t gotten. I actually believe a tough road is ahead for Lego selling these expensive sets cuz the overall situation that keeps me from running to the store Sept 1 is the issue most people in most countries across Europe and the US have on their plate in coming months.
Well said, Danah. More people than we think are in this situation. We all can feel it coming. It will be interesting to see how this will impact LEGO over the next 12 months. But you summed it up nicely, "Beautiful set, awful price!"
In Canada this is nearly 400$, which is sad. There is a lot that I can buy for 400$, rather than Lego. Lego seems to be pricing itself out for many casual collectors.
Price hikes and plans have me cutting back on lego going into next year for sure.
I don't think we're alone in that
It’s price here in Australia is $469 so definitely not a priority for me or my city. I’ll maybe grab it if it pops up for like 20% off. As always Alex, great content…..love your work 😊🙏
Yeah totally agree
Saw it for 399 and purchased it. 470 is just too much.
Fantastic review Alex. Appreciate the honest feedback on your thoughts and price. Definitely a set I would like to pickup one day when it is on a good discount. Not a day one purchase for sure. I am kind of disappointed that it is a mirror sticker and not a real mirror but it still worked fine. And the fact that it is hard to swap the battery and motor out means these powered up functions will probably stay in there instead of being re-used elsewhere on an adhoc basis. Otherwise, this set looks great! Congrats on your first LAN review!
You made a good point about the re-use of the motors on other projects. I hadn't thought of that, but it is very true. I think a lot of people are also thinking this is not a day one purchase, look for deals down the road. This would be my approach as well. Thanks for the comment!
Thanks for continuing to do honest reviews Alex. Your coverage of Lego has quickly become my favorite in the hobby. I'll probably get this eventually but no rush. I'll hold out for a sale or double points and/or a good freebie throw in set.
That's a good plan. If you're gonna get, get it when you can get the max benefit. Thanks!
Unfortunately, I think due to lego’s greedy decision… quite a lot people will need to be forced to miss out on this cool set..
i think it was more to do with inflation and less with greed
They also eat a good portion of shipping costs, shipping has also gone up as late so they are trying to account for all of the price jumps in production, shipping, labor, pieces and parts.
It's greed. They already make billions in profit.
People here defending the price need their heads examined. It’s plastic ffs, their prices were already extortionate for what was once an affordable kids toy. There was a time when every kid had buckets of the stuff, Lego got greedy. This is way more expensive then the Assembly Square from only a few years back that had double the pieces!
It's a shame for the designer, but I totally agree. I think it will be a good lesson for LEGO when sales plummet.
When building the set and reading the small text of the mismatched pieces I was really overjoyed. I actually love these kind of references and winks. Makes the building experience more fun in my opinion.
좋은 레고 리뷰 영상입니다. 행복한 목요일 보내주세요!
(Korean Say "Good Lego Review Video. Have a Happy Thursday!")
Dark blue color on basement is correct. Based on rocks that comes with this building, u will have very fast dive into ocean and massive depth. Light blue is more correct if scenary was on a beach or something.
I'm a collector of lighthouses and this is a must have. The price is certainly cringe worthy. I have some VIP points to spend so it will make it easier to swallow that price. This is a great set with cool features. Dang it Lego! You're making my wallet cry again. 🤣
After buying three of these sets, and combining them together, it's absolutely amazing. Mini light from the base, regular light from the center(middle), and top light shines bright enough to imitate a small flashlight!!! The base is also triple the format. I recommend playing a fog horn in the background ( cell phone noise)
Looks like a cool set but for $300 and only 2000 peices it’s seems alittle to expensive for me.
Great review. I look forward to getting this.
I think AFOLs forget the purpose of the mis-match colours in the bases and mechanical mechanisms in Lego sets. The bright colours make the parts easier to identify and therefore make the set more accessible, and easier to piece together when reviewing the instructions.
This is a great point that I did not mention when I was addressing the colors. In many large sets, these different colors do help find where the next piece goes.
Here in Australia it is $470 plus $45 postgae so not cheap. I have just finished mine and was a great build. I found the instructions a bit vague att times as brick sections are not high lighted now in the book so with brown and black bricks you have to look really hard and on bits like the rock walls you have to go over the whole picture to find out where to place them. It has a great look to it when finished butt the only part I wasn't happy with was the small mirror section - that piece of paper will not lastt long and a real small mirror would have been great making the beam brighter as anything over a few feet and it will not show up very well. Adding the battery pack , motor etc makes this a dear set but compared to the 5770 it blows it away
Pretty cool but too pricey. It’s a pass for me. The motor definitely adds to the price
I think this should be at the $250 price. Even then, that's a pretty penny.
I love this set and I'll be using my points to get a big discount on it but definitely on my list.
WTF $300, no way. With sticker as a mirror, the barely visible light and only 2000 parts? Shocking!
Lego does not compensate for inflation, Lego causes inflation.
Good review. The lighthouse looks awesome and I've always wanted a nice lighthouse in my city. But € 300 is (a bit) too much for me. So unless I find a good deal one day, I think I'll pass. There are a lot of cool Lego sets out there lately, but they're way too expensive. I'm skipping on a lot of sets just because of the price. Except the new castle. I had to have the castle, but that means a no go on a bunch of other sets.
So, being 5 months further down the road, I have to come back to my words. I've seen several reviews on it, it's such a nice set, and I've wanted a decent lighthouse in my city so bad for so long now. I still think € 300 is too much for the set, but I've been able to save up on VIP points to get a nice discount. So I've ordered it yesterday while double VIP points are still being rewarded. They know what they're doing at LEGO. They've got me in their power… Now I can't wait to build it and put it in my city.
Wasn't Lego eventually gonna stop using base plates? Cool set and thanks for the honest review. The price increase has been kinda tough to swallow.
There should be a socket for an AC/DC adaptor.
I hate mismatched colours and the rock base isn't tiled or sloped enough. Maybe this needed to be a larger base plate? Usually lighthouses have more than one rocky outcrop or island. Mirror sticker, that's a bit cheap and won't last.
Rally cool set! Cant wait to pick one up and build it!
If I think about 300€ this is not it. Money is getting short more and more these days and especially when I look at other brands lego is just making me sad :'(
I mean for 70€ less I can get a 6800 pieces Lighthouse from Bluebrixx that looks way cooler...
Fab video once again 👏. I do agree with you regarding the price. In the uk it is £260 which is expensive especially during the current £$€ climate. The only way that I will be purchasing this set is if I can find another retailer who will sell the set cheaper than lego themselves!!!
I for one do not have a problem with spending the money on these Lego sets. Because:
A). They are collectible, and therefore a great investment.
B). If you start working with your kids with duplo. By the time they progress to a Lego set like this. Let's say when they're 12 or 13. They become little engineers.
Therefore, I'll probably invest in this set. You notice I said invest, therefore it's an investment.
Defenetly would suggest placing it on a regular blue baseplate as it does not look that good with the current water in the city
This is painfully true.
Or increase the rock work and cover the baseplate. More room for scenes anyway and the rocks look like they need a bit of added detail
I am 100% with you on this set. It is a gorgeous build and very clever with how everything works. But that $300 price tag is far too steep for me. Maybe you could put some transparent light blue plates/tiles on the dark blue baseplate to help match the felt a little better.
Good suggestion on the blue plate. I really want to avoid taking it off this plate. It would be like rebuilding it.
I would add some whitish-clear, and maybe even some white all around it as if to show the waves crashing against this rocky outcropping... It's placement in your city does make it seem to be in the way of the waves that would naturally be coming in and ebbing out from the sea, so there should be some white froth around it...
i think you should build a small beach next to the river and put the lighthouse in the aria where the river and ocean meet.
Unfortunately, many LEGO youtubers are scared to talk about the price. Glad you are honest. Great review! Agree that LEGO screwed up with the price on this one.
Thanks for the honest review, yes a really cool set. However the price is too high.. sorry, that's another set I couldn't afford to buy it (actually my town is big enough and I have the friends light house too).. no need to have 2nd lighthouse🥰
Hopefully Lego realise their mistake with the pricing on this. Awesome set, I’m sure I’ll pick it up but it might be a case of using my VIP points or combining with GWPs double VIP points or discount from other retailers. Great review
It will be interesting to see the impact of this on TLG. They are not a public company so we won't ever know the real impact, but I am sure we'll see something with how many sets remain sitting on the shelf for long periods of time.
@@alexnunes I believe a lot of city sets will be sitting in TLG shops for so long....😆😆😆 (like city school one)
If you do not like the yellow stick on the vestas wind turbine you can take it off its technic pin and just remove the removable led to turn it on and off
Great review. I will be picking this one up as we just stayed in an actual lighthouse in Alaska this year.
Wow, that is pretty cool. I didn't know you could do that.
@@alexnunes look up Sitka Lighthouse!
Great video as always Alex. Love the subject matter as I grew up beside the sea, but man….. that price point. Even with the Lego tax and the inflation ‘excuse’ it just feels really expensive. Lego getting ridiculous with their pricing now. Yes it’s always been expensive, but now getting crazy.
Lots of people feel the same way. It will be interesting to see how these price changes impact them over the next year or so.
Nice Vid Alex.... def waiting for a better deal on that one! very cool though
You should add some mini lights or light poles along the street with working lights similar to how the one is in the little cottage for the fireplace. That would be cool when you turn the lights off and only all the street lights and lighthouse would be lit up would give it a really cool look at night but not sure if something like that exists for small lights/street lights for Lego.
And also the amusement park would be super cool to have some mini lights so when you turn the main lights off that’s all lit up.
良いですねぇ。良いセットですね。
The price of LEGO has gone insane. Can no longer buy sets. Can’t justify the spending
Once you showed/explained that the battery pack and motor are included, I'm starting to understand the price point. Wish it was only $199.99, but because of inflation, itis what it is.......
very honest and good review! 4:31 am I wrong or is there a golden part on top of that red technic part?
after seeing it compared to the LEGO wind turbine I'm actually not sure if the lighthouse is tall enough or if adding one or more floors would be better.
but yea, 300€/$ is too much. I hope that it won't be a LEGO exclusive forever, so I can get a good price from other sellers. 200€ would have been fair imho
Good eye! They used a golden ring as a spacer for the technic axle. I have never seen that done before. I do think you are onto something about the height. One more level might be the sweet spot.
if I had this set, i would have built it on a light blue base plate that you can get for 9-15$ :)
One quick look and I thought to myself “Wow I bet this costs something ridiculous like $300” Lego is silly sometimes
So many sets out awesome
I canceled my preorder of The Office so I can buy this one day one!
Great looking set and great review.
It is expensive, like Lego has always been. Of course after the recent increase we will have to be a bit more selective, we can’t buy them all.
Anyway this one comes with the power function that for sure bring the price up. Maybe they could’ve have lower the price tag and sell the power function separately
It’s large volume of bricks counter than lower piece count.
$300 and it's still with stickers?! Will that mirror-sticker still work after 10-15 years?
Nah I actually want this set down horrendously bad for this set
My opinion price is because only that light is really pricey.but is extremely beautiful set and I love it so much.can’t wait to buy it
You could simply take a normal blue baseplate alex :)
Its a maybe. Possibly VIP weekend before thanksgiving with double VIP, GWP set and 12-15% cash back on Rakuten(Ebates), then I'll give it some serious thought.
This will have to wait or possibly skipped. I already bought the Sanctum, castle and some smaller sets this quarter 😅
Do you think it's a good first set for someone who built his last Lego set almost 50 years ago ?
A lot has changed in 50 years, but I think so.
This is amazing. The only problem is the price with the light it would be a cool display piece at night
Hey Alex, are you gonna get/review the new green express train (lego city) ? I just got mine today from Bricklink ($140 CAD instead of the $240 CAD retail price here in Canada).
I don't think so, but that is only because I have nowhere to put it. I may need to upgrade my trainyard again.
@@alexnunes Ah ok, I see :). I thought about it because you have lots of other trains and tracks in the city, it would look nice.
Thanks for the review but I don't get your gripe with the multi coloured pieces hidden inside. What does it matter? You don't see the pieces...
A small gripe for sure, but at $300 I want the right LEGO no matter where it is.
Great review. What did you become a Lego ambassador?
Thanks, I joined the LAN back in May. Still pretty new.
it is really overpriced
Yes it is
That's a very cool set
I seen it, Yer fond of me lobster!!
Hey I just started mine today. On page one it shows the white 4 piece block with a plus sign next to it. Is this just indicating that this set uses a motor ? Because then you don’t see that symbol again until bag #2? I just want to make sure I don’t mess something up on page 1 lol
Absolutely love this set. Pretty Biased as I really like Lighthouses as well though. But like many have said, the price for this is just too high. Inflation or not. This is a $250 set at most.
Bigger Lego sets have been killed by the recent price increases. The percentages are way too high in my opinion. I'm definitely cutting back on my purchases.
Very cool, $300 is a tough cost. Like the Castle, will wait for double points if i buy it. At the end of the vid you have your older Creator lighthouse. Did it have the light brick in it? Is there a way to replace the battery in those that you're aware of?
Good plan to wait for double points! The old creator set did come with the light brick. I am not sure there is a way to replace them, but I haven't looked into it. I have a few of them that have been dead for awhile.
If the light doesn’t work where can the problem be
$380 in Canada, I’m unemployed and homeless in 2 weeks so it’s not gonna happen for me. I think this should have been done the same way as the Loop coaster, hand cranked out of the box with the option to easily motorize it if you choose to.
Same price as Home Alone but half the pieces and mini figs. It’s not even a licensed set, is it because there’s some profit sharing with the creator?
now all we need is the Orca Boat and Jaws, New England town complete.
Yes we do!!!
If they create the Orca set I’ll be getting that for sure!
I’m not getting this light house though
Wowww, finally a complete well done review 💯✅... Not like another Portuguese reviewer that used to work for the Lego Group and shows most of the new sets first but he just seems he is in a crazy run against the clock skipping many details (I'm looking at you Thiago C.🧐)... You well deserve those 100K reviewers!! Keep it rockin' Alex!💪🏼
Really!! Tiagos reviews are some of my favourites, I find him to be one of the more detailed and comprehensive. What a curious comment 🤔
I have a problem with mechanism. I doing like in instruction but it didn’t want to move. What I need to do?
Ok 👍👌
Wow, Alex. You might be able to claim "First" for this review.
yay! Right of the gate with this one. haha.
Try it in the castle area ???
Castle area? interesting!
Quick question, is the baseplate 32x32 studs?
Yes
@@alexnunes ok thanks
I am getting priced out of the hobby. Thankfully I bought a number of sets before the price increase
This is a great set with very cool details, but it is a little expensive. It should have been $250 at most
I agree with that price. It seems like the $250 is where it is at with what you get.
def wait til its discounted. too expensive
Did this set include the motor with it?
yes, the motor, battery box, and lights were included.
Never realised your a LAN member
It is relatively new.
With inflation this will be the new normal for prices. As mentioned in the video LEGO have price hiked many sets in the past month. Yes it seems expensive but you are comparing against the old benchmark. If you continue to use this logic all LEGO sets will be deemed overpriced
Only 2 minifigs for a $300 set?! I would say that is terribly weak! This set should be no more than $150.
just to expensive what for it to go on sale
How tall is it?
21.5 inches / 54cm
too noisy and too expensive, wish there was a variant without the motor to make it cheaper
The price increases are to pay for the billion dollar manufacturing plant Lego is building in Virginia.
Such a terrible value proposition...but a nice model..
300+Tax it just too much.
As a farmer and a teacher and a Greek I hope Americams will face Tyranny. You have well deserved it
