At various points there's some LED banding, some mic interference, some underexposure, some color shift, etc. I'm well aware of it all! Compromises accepted to make videos very significantly easier & more comfortable & stress-free to make in the city than literally ever. The city & sharing it is going to be my focus here -- technicalities will happily lag behind!
Jang it’s ok the ‘mess’ is normal and I wish people wouldn’t make a big deal out of nothing and make you feel like you have to constantly justify yourself all the time. I understand people will be people but just brush over it it’s ok my Lego room is always a mess as well hahah
Always appreciate your professionalism. I'm also happy to see a relaxed style video. Even more excited to see news from the city above and below. I'll be waiting for updates on the post apocalyptic and cyberpunk settings! Whoo!
At the end of the day, you're just doing your hobby, just on a larger scale than most other people. If people don't like the 'messiness' of what is supposed to be a behind-the-scenes video, that's their problem 👍
I appreciate some of the "messiness". The creative process takes many twists and turns, time, life and other priorities sometimes get in the way. Seeing your city like this provides hope for many who look at theirs in similar states and realize that things aren't always perfect and eventually dreams/plans will come together.
It geniunely amazes me how Jang has spent so many years on this one city, constantly tweaking and moving and adjusting it. I'm envious of that kind of commitment. I'm plagued with hyper-fixation on a hobby for a short amount of time before my brain burns out and I have focus on something else instead. I hope I can find this zen one day lol. Since I live in a small apartment with no hope of making a "real" lego city, I'm glad Jang documents his so much that I can live vicariously through it!
I don't know but there is something about you that is very genuine and a feeling that you're a friend or so. Please stay humble and "nerdy"! thanks for sharing your creations.
My favorite part under the tables is the underwater scenes, all the hard work you've put into these is quite enormous, especially the Minecraft part, lots of bricks in these ones, wow! Keep up the good work, my friend! Long live Jang and New Jang City!
Seeing the raw display, messy as it is, does make me feel less bad about the mess that is my LEGO setup as well! It's great to just be OK with the fact that it's still a mess and not the way we want it just yet, the fact that it's still very much a WIP, while also serving as motivation for us to set aside time and energy to flesh it out. I do think I needed that. So thank you for putting these walkthrough videos out here! I also appreciate that you stick to your guns and do everything your way, which is how I intend to approach my LEGO stuff as well. Even the Mellemby district being entirely viewer-driven was a decision you made, and being able to exercise such creative control is very empowering and absolutely worth celebrating. Looking forward to seeing more updates, in your own time!
Been watching for many years now, almost since the beginning. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again YOU’RE THE BEST JANG! Thanks for showing us your hobby and for helping others fall in love with Lego all over again. You’ve given me plenty of ideas and I look forward to exploring those ideas and seeing your future updates! Keep it up, and all the best!
Jang, the ways this has sci-fi elements is such an inspiration. It’s amazing how in hindsight when I was younger I decided to hero factory moc by seeing your stuff, and in a roundabout way the same thing is happening now with my dreams of making my own sci-fi city. Also, I appreciate that you explain the work in progress and “messy” seeming parts. It’s real life, and it helps give me a good example for realistic expectations
I think a series by you that involves tutorials, tips and tricks, and guides would be amazing! I think a lot of people starting out in creating their own MOCS, custom designs, etc would appreciate it. For example, making different types of trees, terrain, bridges, etc..
As interesting as the city above is, all my favorite scenes are down here. Never realized how extensive your minecraft layout is or how well that translates into Lego. Hidden dinosaur world FTW, though!!
3:08 I love those treaded vehicles for your defense force! I especially like how you raised the front of the tread on that smaller, open one. Very cool
Thanks for sharing JANG. I find your work very inspiring. One day I’ll have a home big enough to do this myself. My favorite thing is your honesty about “the mess” because when I build Lego this is the truth. In a world where people try to show only perfection this is refreshing.
When Jang said the miners were going to cut through into some other scene my mind immediately went to the Mines of Moria and the Balrog. But Lost World of Dinosaurs is cool too - I picture loads of foliage and underground waterfalls.
I love this! Suggestion for Mellamby custom plan: 'character creator livestream' livestream chat picks/designs a minifig, then all vote for what kind of story/background/job they have, and vote on various aspects of their life like if they are in a vehicle or run a shop etc etc
I really liked this and your Pt.1 . If I have any requests it would be when you do big expansive tours like this in the future, when you call out specific builds - the modern apartment for example, it would be helpful if you put a link to the original video you had of it when you released it, or a video that highlights it. You've got a lot of content (which is a good thing) and it can be difficult going through years worth of content looking for more details on a specific build.
Great video! This is the type of content I like most. This and any moc builds you create. That’s what first brought me to watch your channel. I hope the future will have more Mocs and your city in it
Of everything below the table I’m most interested in mellamby and the minecraft diorama. You should do some viewer Q&A livestreams in mellamby asking what fans want to see in the cyberpunk set up. There’s been so many updates to minecraft with so many new LEGO pieces and colours I’m sure you can make your minecraft builds look a lot more modern. I always look forward to the review off seasons because I really like the custom MOCs you build
Love the Melamby/Cyber Punk portion so much. I'm not sure if I have ever seen the mine/dinosaur land. I only started watching during the pandemic but I do try to go back and watch older videos (even racing ones, ha ha)
11:33 I had a similar idea to have an underground Dino valley, inspired by the Lost Valley level in Tomb Raider. I have noticed it hasn't changed much since you showed it in a video last time so I have to wonder why the newer dinos aren't there (I love the Ankylosaurus model), so it's nice to hear it's being considered with some additional lore.
I still *really* love your two under water scenes and look forward to seeing you make them to be what you currently want. Will you allow yourself to keep official under water sets displayed or is the long term goal to have those areas full of MOCs?
Thanks. For now I'm gonna let the official ones stay, but eventually I'd like to replace them with my own designs, inspired by the same material though and not straying too far from LEGO's style.
This right here is my inspiration (along with the Basement in the LEGO Movie). I really want a LEGO City, but the most I could probably manage right now are as few city blocks.
They shouldn’t effect Lego much. Black Lights are mostly UV B, It’s UV C that accelerates the yellowing mainly. You only get that in Quality (ie Real, not scam tier Chinese Junk) UV sterilizer’s.
Hey Jang, I know you said on your website that you use Linnmon tables and Adils legs, but do you use anything to connect your tables together, or just let them stand next to each other?
I have complex feelings about cyberpunk in general. I don't think it is what I voted for way back when. BUT I really love what you have done with it so far. Can't wait to see more, when ever it may come

Gotta say, I like this impromptu style of sharing your thoughts and progress on the city. It feels very natural and real!
It geniunely amazes me how Jang has spent so many years on this one city, constantly tweaking and moving and adjusting it. I'm envious of that kind of commitment.

I really hope the little Steve digging into the real world part is put back, I always thought that was funny
“What are you gonna do now”
“I am going to Jang’s LEGO CITY”
I don't know but there is something about you that is very genuine and a feeling that you're a friend or so. Please stay humble and "nerdy"! thanks for sharing your creations.
My favorite part under the tables is the underwater scenes, all the hard work you've put into these is quite enormous, especially the Minecraft part, lots of bricks in these ones, wow! Keep up the good work, my friend! Long live Jang and New Jang City!
I LOVE the underwater area. Such a cool usage of those raised baseplates, and so much details.

I've followed your city for so long. I think that was the best update you've done (both parts). I feel like I know your city - as if I've been there.
I appreciate Jang's honesty and candor. It inspires me to pursue what I enjoy about LEGO without feeling obligated to meet the expectations of others.
Will you make any reference to the underground stuff overground? Like having “access hatches” etc?
As interesting as the city above is, all my favorite scenes are down here. Never realized how extensive your minecraft layout is or how well that translates into Lego. Hidden dinosaur world FTW, though!!
I like how there's a whole completely detailed mine set up... just because. It looks great.
3:08 I love those treaded vehicles for your defense force! I especially like how you raised the front of the tread on that smaller, open one. Very cool

YO WHAT'S HUTT'S PIZZA DOING IN THE CYBERPUNK DISTRICT
I always like seeing your collection.
Fantastic to also see these areas!!!
Thanks Jang, next best thing to getting to crawl around under your table myself
Whoa, how’s the stuff in the underwater areas floating? Strings? I legitimately don’t see anything there!
Fishing line is strong and impossible to see
I really liked this and your Pt.1 .
If I have any requests it would be when you do big expansive tours like this in the future, when you call out specific builds - the modern apartment for example, it would be helpful if you put a link to the original video you had of it when you released it, or a video that highlights it.

Awesome
I love this video! Thank you so much jang!
Even more updates letsgoo
What is the white cat next to the converted yellow bus in the cyberpunk area. It looks like a moc of HotWheels' stormtrooper car.
hell yeah some mad max based stuff would be great!!
Awesome!
Great video! This is the type of content I like most. This and any moc builds you create. That’s what first brought me to watch your channel. I hope the future will have more Mocs and your city in it
Your videos inspired me to get back into lego and create my own little city its no where near as good but still not bad love your videos

Did you ever play that rock raiders pc game? Your mining area made me remember it. Like dungeon keeper but lego
It looks awesome I wish I was as talented as you!
This is GREAT
What color is the netherrack at 6:13? It looks like sand red but I can’t imagine it actually would be, I thought it was an incredibly expensive color
It is sand red
I still *really* love your two under water scenes and look forward to seeing you make them to be what you currently want. Will you allow yourself to keep official under water sets displayed or is the long term goal to have those areas full of MOCs?
Thanks. For now I'm gonna let the official ones stay, but eventually I'd like to replace them with my own designs, inspired by the same material though and not straying too far from LEGO's style.
I like , I like it a lot
I had completely forgotten that Minecraft used to have the bedrock walls and is such a good way of making a wall for the lego
Very curious about what the mellemby district will end up looking :D
This right here is my inspiration (along with the Basement in the LEGO Movie). I really want a LEGO City, but the most I could probably manage right now are as few city blocks.
I/We appreciate all the effort, JANG!
Keep doing you! and...
Fluck the haters!!! :¬P
I like this form of content more. just do what you do.
So the Planetary Defense Base is gonna be on two levels with an aquarium in the middle?
Do black lights effect the natural color of the lego pieces like U.V. light and sun damaged pieces?
They shouldn’t effect Lego much. Black Lights are mostly UV B, It’s UV C that accelerates the yellowing mainly. You only get that in Quality (ie Real, not scam tier Chinese Junk) UV sterilizer’s.
Are you going to do a new parts tour?
Journey to the Center of the Earth vibes
Hey Jang, I know you said on your website that you use Linnmon tables and Adils legs, but do you use anything to connect your tables together, or just let them stand next to each other?
next video, Lego city dust mitigation. Seriously, how do you keep it so clean?
He already has a video about that, look it up.
The classic minecraft look is arguably better I think, as that’s most people remember the game.
Incredible collection and displays Jang😳😳 but how do you manage dusting since you have so much? 😂
He has a video on dusting
I have complex feelings about cyberpunk in general. I don't think it is what I voted for way back when. BUT I really love what you have done with it so far. Can't wait to see more, when ever it may come
Is that a lego stormtrooper car under your table?
Put on some rock raiders in the underground mine area!!!!!
Maybe it would be cool if you would use the upside down part of the stranger things set as an abandoned house for your city
How about making a natual museum for some of your dinosaurs?
Why do you have two Vader's castles?
Can we get a "part 3: Behind the curtains", or there weren't any significant changes since the last video about that topic?
Make your own Dinos
You should hide minikits around your city 😂
