It could've been a lot cheaper if they'd left off the faces, the trail, and the spaceship. While we're at it, it could've been even cheaper if they'd left off the instructions and the box as well.
I heavy disagree on the smoke trail. That makes the set not just an ordinary rocketship where much better ones exist. The smoke trail makes the set unique, a great display, and bring together the set because an all black rocket ship doesn't seem very lego.
I like the set. The rocket is cool. Love the blasting off with the colors and billows of smoke. But I don’t have to be represented. Just give me 2 mini figs to fit in the rocket.
Ironically the only thing I want is the wall of heads. I collect flesh-tone minifigures for creating DnD characters, and it's quite hard to get them because they only come in licensed products and I generally don't want the licensed products (Harry Potter is okay for a fantasy setting but I've got so many bespectacled heads at this point that I could create a continent of scarred, short-sighted children). So just getting a wall of heads by itself would be *perfect* for me.
I'm pretty positive the wall of phriends are Pharrell's actual friends made as Lego heads. I don't think it's meant for people to find a face that looks like them
It can be two things at once. It's definitely meant for people to find faces that look like them. MOC makers are often complaining because Lego makes very few flesh tone heads and even fewer ones representing POC.
I also think the same way about that "Wall of Phriends." Given that the _Piece by Piece_ biopic has all of these new Minifigure designs based on real world music artists, I wonder if this is The LEGO Group's way of adapting them into physical Minifigure form on a budget; just give us the face prints (the most important part), and let the fans fill in the rest of the Minifigure with their own parts.
@@joevictor53 It really is difficult at times. Especially when you're looking for head prints of different colors that have glasses, or wrinkles, or a mustache, or a beard. The lack of variety starts to become apparent really fast.
I really like it and grab it at low sale. this will bomb; I hope the movie is fun. nonetheless the chemtrail cloud build is pretty cool and the horror cabinet of decapitated heads is a moc builders dream
I'm inclined to agree. I feel like if I had this displayed in my house, it would be awkward to explain to someone what they were looking at if they were unfamiliar with the set.
It's pretty easy! Just say something like, "That's a space shuttle blasting off to the Outer Space and the exhaust, as you can see, is highly stylized. Some propa artistic sXXt, eh?!" And the people would go, "Hmmm!!" And then you'd add, "Pretty decent display piece, doncha think?" And they'd go again, "Hmmm!! Quality!! ........ BUT!!! ... Can you detach the spacecraft?" And you'd proudly proclaim, "Yeees! Of cooourse!" And you'd proceed to showcase it and.... yaddi-daddi-daaah, the rest is history. 😀
I could care less about the rocket, but new flesh-colored Lego heads are perfect for my Lego city. (I prefer the flesh-tones to yellow, yeah I'm weird I know)
The heads display is also just that- not just a choice for the mini figures, its own display piece. I for one love it. A really cool thing to depict in Lego: a range of humanity. They’re both display pieces.
The extra lego heads are supposedly to represent the music industry friends he made over the years i think that is dope that you can now have legos with different faces who are also famous artist and industry executives
That's a sexy looking shuttle. The colorful contrail of creativity, imagination, and play is just *chef's kiss* The wall of faces....slightly creepy. Ngl.
It's interesting that "multiple colours" is interpreted as "creative and imaginitive", even when applied to a very basic shape such as this rounded cylinder.
My kid has a cleft lip. There is a figure head with a cleft lip (second row from the left, second from the bottom). Imagine putting this on their Batman figure. This is a great idea from LEGO.
I think this is the most vanity project set Lego has ever done. It has a feeling of something like a golden slipper (yes, just one). Fancy, colorful, super impractical and uninventive. Yet the said slipper is put on pedestal and surrounded with big pretty words and people are supposed to be inspired by it. And of course it's overpriced. Oh and maybe it's just me but when I read the name of this set I thought of Willian Farrel, not the actual astronaut this set is about because I never heard that name before.
Those Space Suits are wicked and those heads are actually pretty sweet. Just the other day I was trying to find a noggin for a custom and that's a sweet idea.
Buying this to get the heads, plus Pharrel is a cool artist and it has a cool display effect. I wish they included hands with the heads for us who need them for other things. (Yellow heads and hands are for kids 3+).
the minifig wall is really fucking cool. the fact Pharrell got them to make a minifig with vitiligo is so cool. also like, i think it’s “my friends” cause like, what if there are ones that look like your friends up there, not just you!
I gotta ask... "Who?" That being said, the ship has a simple sleek design (any details in the cockpit if you wanted a transparent canopy?) Interesting use of pieces to make the smoke at blast off, if they ever needed to make Lego popcorn, now they can.
@@jimbear62 No a lot of us have honestly never heard of him till now, But I'll be honest my music taste is stuck in the 70' and 80's when music was actually music.
When i first saw the set, i was like " ok, cool spaceship! ". Then i saw the price and though that the spaceship alone and the 2 astronauts would be enough XD
I thought the faces were supposed to be actual friends of Pharrell Williams, it would have been much better if lego just added them to the buildable minifigures in their lego stores
All those heads with different skin tones. If only City would drop the outdated yellow skin and give us mini figs with various realistic skin tones. You know, like an ACTUAL city☠️
Not sure about the set as a whole, but the blasting off rocket part is a pretty cool design. I'd like to see them use that idea in future sets to create more "active" display pieces
This is trying to break into the “hype beast” market I feel. Lego trying to make a space in the ridiculous overpriced world of super exclusive products, specifically meant to tailor to ultra rich “style” focused people.
I would have preferred it if the rainbow boost beam (or whatever you wanna call it) was made out of transparent bricks. The structural ones on the inside should have been colorless clear then.
Pharrell was recently implicated in the 1MDB fraud case. Kind of interesting that Lego didn't hold back with this release until his involvement was resolved somehow.
As a fan of Pharrell and influence and impact across various genres, I like the inclusion of the Phriends. I can recognize a few of these, most notably Tyler. As a fan of the culture and Pharrell’s aesthetic design, I love this site.
The smoke trail without the spaceship gives me thoughts I'm not very proud of. But It's a good looking set on its own, especially with no stickers. Don't care for the wall of heads though, I get what the were going for but it still looks creepy to me, like a gruesome trophy wall
Very weird set indeed. The only thing that interests me with this set is the mini fig heads. That by itself is valuable, especially with all the different color tones. I can use them all for my Lego city. Great review though, I totally agree with you.
I’m not a Lego person nor an especially big Pharrell fan but I was in target today and saw this and thought that rocket shape and smoke trail was soooo cool! I kind of want to get it as a display piece
I love that metallic gold canopy, I’d like to make an all black version of the Buzz Lightyear XL-15 set and put that gold canopy on it. I also like the Minifigs with those helmets and gold visors.
I really like the aesthetic of the rocket on the display stand as a model only for displaying, and I can really see myself utilizing all those heads for other things
i think when you know somethings about pharall it's amazing who it feels like him.the colors are spot on. the efford which was put into designing this screams like a hell of ride. it's crazy how much i like this, but it's mainly because you see the love of the designer and so much of pharall in it. price is too much. should just have been 99. oh and love the idea of displaying it in the context of tales of the space age.
The display of LEGO heads just makes me think of that one robot chicken sketch where some LEGO people discover a very similar looking thing in some guy's house
I think the rainbow trail is too iconic for the set to remove, but its a missed opportunity with the wall of phriends. They instead could have had let you pick to one out of all of the available heads when you ordered it online
I actually love the model, including the “wall” of heads, exactly because it’s so unusual and eye-catching. Perhaps the many printed head pieces contributes to the price?
The wall of faces are some legendary people in HipHop culture. People who have books and inspired millions. That wall does make the price high but will drive it up in the future
I was curious how this was going to stand up, seems it's not quite as fall-prone as I was expecting, but probably needs a metal weight in the bottom of the stand for extra stability. And I hope those heads make their way to the secondary market. You can usually only get non-yellow heads depicting specific characters, having yellow-head faces printed on human-colour heads will be huge.
I love this set and i especially love the cloud of smoke! if i get this set ill probably add the smoke trail to my daily bugle explosion to make it more comic-y. but, for 110 dollars i probably wont. this feels like a 70 dollar set at best, especially for only 900 pieces
The thing that makes the set a bit problematic is that it is basically 3 VERY different things in one set. There's a lot of people that would be interested in the heads, the (simple) space ship and the colorful plume. But i guess there are not that many who care about all 3.
I'd love to see the heads show up in Build A Minifigure stations at LEGO stores.. I want it for the heads as I make customs, and I don't mix yellow heads with my Licensed sets (Marvel/Star Wars/ Potter) so having such a variety for citizens would be awesome It's a wierd set... but I WANT IT!
Exactly how I feel. Nothing about this says music, or pharrell, or anything. its just so incredibly random. The fact that it could have been rebranded a creator set with literally no changes is not a good thing
The rocket trail is cool, but if it was smaller it would still look neat and at a cheaper price. The ship looks good too and the gold canopy is sharp looking on the model, but it hides all the detail in the cockpit!
ok, if they collabed with Pharell - surely we could get an Abbey Road crosswalk with just 4 minifigs... right? We had the Yellow Sub back in the day, I remember. Otherwise - a highly unlikely collab but the set does look kinda neat!
I love the set and the entire collaboration. A collaboration like this is long over due and will open many other similar partnerships. Trailblazing always comes with people not getting “it” at first. My hope is that people will be Inspired by the movie and it’s message. Right now there is more than meets the eye ;-)
I think this set is really well done looks fantastic I would agree with the price being kinda steep however this definitely feels like more niche and premium set I think if they were to do a sort of mini series it would’ve been cooler to maybe break the head wall and rocket ship into two separate sets and maybe even have the trail as an online add on of some sort honestly tho I just think it’s pretty cool they made a set at all I was not expecting that
Most fans who will buy this are coming from a higher bias to LEGO than Pharrell I am guessing. That being said , his collabs in the current fashion world (He is currently the Creative Director at Luis Vuitton) are a value to that market and more niche to the Lego market. That also being said, depending on how many units they sell and or make, should make for a great piece to collect unopened I am guessing. I am considering this a buy (especially at the price point) and hold.
My cousin was a REAL designer and couldn't make it on his own. He was invited by several fashion houses but tried to make it on his own with innovative designs which only made a splash in the Asian market unfortunately. He has now retired from his dream and is designing user interfaces which we all use. Such a talent lost to the world. Meanwhile... some guy with a silver spoon in his ass is revered by the world. Success is a matter of circumstance and luck. 'nuf said...
I have a custom lego city/town and this wall of heads will make a brilliant addition by giving me loads of diversity and customisation for the citizens! Perhaps a niche application, but for that fact I'd say the wall of heads is a great addition and I think I can justify the price - though as lego fans I think we could all justify any price if we wanted it enough! 😅 I buy a lot of sets just for the parts, sometimes multiples of the same set so I have a large catalogue of duplicate minifigures that will benefit from a little mixing and matching to give everyone their own unique look. ✌🏼
I thought prior to this review that the wall of heads was all the other characters (musicians) in the film! Thought I was about to get a Kendrick & Snoop minifig head haha They would have made for some amazing prints & even better Easter eggs in my MOCS. I’ll still end up getting this but will definitely be using all these new heads in my Mocs nonetheless; just won’t be Easter eggs.😭
Take out the wall of faces and the smoke trail, which would have to knock off like $30 to $40 or so, and I'd buy it probably. Maybe if it ever goes on discount. If this was a lot cheaper it would be a great parts pack for the minifig heads.
I agree completely on this one with the price, or it should have been subsidized by Lego (they make extra off Star Wars and Disney taxes) to bring this one in for $60, when as you say inclusivity and play are at stake and while I like Pharrell's music I would never buy this. So not sure who the target market is and I feel this one will be on DEEP discount pretty soon (it's this year's hulkbuster or wakanda bust). Maybe the title should have been to the Moon! or Bust!
Buy from LEGO ❯ bit.ly/4gb2Q0i
It could've been a lot cheaper if they'd left off the faces, the trail, and the spaceship. While we're at it, it could've been even cheaper if they'd left off the instructions and the box as well.
hey Tiago - if I didn't miscount, 15 of the heads in the Wall of Phriends are old, the rest are new.
Hear me out - this, but without minifig heads, with rainbow color trail and, instead of space shuttle, Nyan cat
YES YES YES

That iconic time Pharrell built a rainbow emitting rocket
A rainbow-shitting shuttle.
It rhymes and chimes so nice! 😀
I'm inclined to agree. I feel like if I had this displayed in my house, it would be awkward to explain to someone what they were looking at if they were unfamiliar with the set.
Exactly
Honestly I feel like it'd just be as easy as saying something like "This is the rocket ship from the Pharrell Williams Lego Movie"

I think this set is really well done looks fantastic I would agree with the price being kinda steep however this definitely feels like more niche and premium set I think if they were to do a sort of mini series it would’ve been cooler to maybe break the head wall and rocket ship into two separate sets and maybe even have the trail as an online add on of some sort honestly tho I just think it’s pretty cool they made a set at all I was not expecting that
Most fans who will buy this are coming from a higher bias to LEGO than Pharrell I am guessing. That being said , his collabs in the current fashion world (He is currently the Creative Director at Luis Vuitton) are a value to that market and more niche to the Lego market. That also being said, depending on how many units they sell and or make, should make for a great piece to collect unopened I am guessing. I am considering this a buy (especially at the price point) and hold.
My cousin was a REAL designer and couldn't make it on his own. He was invited by several fashion houses but tried to make it on his own with innovative designs which only made a splash in the Asian market unfortunately. He has now retired from his dream and is designing user interfaces which we all use. Such a talent lost to the world. Meanwhile... some guy with a silver spoon in his ass is revered by the world. Success is a matter of circumstance and luck. 'nuf said...

Lego is going after the hypebeast market. They're gonna get it!
It’s a cool set, I’ll be excited to pick it up on clearance next year.
I have a custom lego city/town and this wall of heads will make a brilliant addition by giving me loads of diversity and customisation for the citizens!
Perhaps a niche application, but for that fact I'd say the wall of heads is a great addition and I think I can justify the price - though as lego fans I think we could all justify any price if we wanted it enough! 😅
I buy a lot of sets just for the parts, sometimes multiples of the same set so I have a large catalogue of duplicate minifigures that will benefit from a little mixing and matching to give everyone their own unique look. ✌🏼
0:01 I see what you did there
Nice reference in the first line of the video! 😅
I thought prior to this review that the wall of heads was all the other characters (musicians) in the film! Thought I was about to get a Kendrick & Snoop minifig head haha They would have made for some amazing prints & even better Easter eggs in my MOCS. I’ll still end up getting this but will definitely be using all these new heads in my Mocs nonetheless; just won’t be Easter eggs.😭
Take out the wall of faces and the smoke trail, which would have to knock off like $30 to $40 or so, and I'd buy it probably. Maybe if it ever goes on discount.
If this was a lot cheaper it would be a great parts pack for the minifig heads.
I agree completely on this one with the price, or it should have been subsidized by Lego (they make extra off Star Wars and Disney taxes) to bring this one in for $60, when as you say inclusivity and play are at stake and while I like Pharrell's music I would never buy this. So not sure who the target market is and I feel this one will be on DEEP discount pretty soon (it's this year's hulkbuster or wakanda bust). Maybe the title should have been to the Moon! or Bust!
