It's an amazing feat. I literally don't know how you designed an alt build for such a huge set- can't imagine what the process must have been like. Did you design it digitally first or what?
I'm an experienced moc builder and I have to say, I have no idea how this guy put together an alternate build that's so good for such a huge set, with instructions. It's an amazing feat.
When a friend of mine decided to buy the Hulkbuster despite its crappy design I sent him the video of this awesome rebuild and he immediately bought the instructions and built it. He was super happy and says this was the best investment ever 👍🏻
it never ceases to amaze me about the engineering that goes into creating these works of art. This is a good episode to showcase size and scale, especially when it's all completed. Nice job.
I love putting tail lights on mine with a smart plug that’s connected to power. Hopefully the moc I’m able to pull that off! I bought mine and looking forward to doing it! Wonderful job. Love the video. I just wanted to see the iron man inside if it’s works or not since I bought that too
Looking forward to building this. Picked up the set (on sale for $385) at the Disneyland LEGO store a couple weeks ago, followed by the MOC instructions several days ago. I also have, and already built, the discontinued 76206 Infinity Saga Iron Man, to go inside the Hulkbuster. Although it should probably go without saying, I will also be building the stand by iTavix. But, before I can start this, I have two other (smaller) MOCs to build, starting with the the 76240 Batmobile Tumbler (which I'm hoping to pick up today, on my way to work). After that's complete, I'll get to work on the somewhat larger 75304 Darth Vader, which will involve combining together two separate MOCs.
Great work. Recently bought the RansomFern instructions can't wait to build it. And using command strips for the art seems like a really nice idea. Any idea how long they last before the grip wears out?
Happy building! Its such a great design! I have the Star Wars Darth Vader art on the velcro command strips. That was released in 2020. So it’s still holding up.
So I took the plunge and started. I just finished attaching the 2nd arm socket (with the big round gear), and other parts surrounding from earlier steps started falling off. Not the easiest thing to build.
@@DanielHigareda-d3eit should be on sale on Lego, in Canada it’s 419 right now. 40 percent off! But at Christmas time you’ll definitely find a deal for it!
@brookethebuilder literally just got mine in the mail and just purchased the MOC instructions as well, and came to ask this exact question. Thanks for sharing and for your advice, super stoked to roll a dubie, throw on a good show and spend some quality time with the wife and puppy. Have a great one Ms Brooke!
ive had the hulkbuster set sealed in box for a year and kept holding off building it and i think cause the universe was telling me to build the alt version
I'll be starting with this MOC in a few days when the set gets delivered, how long did it take you to finish this? Just wanna get a rough idea on what to expect. Thanks!
I worked on it on the weekends because of work. So I’d say like 3 days total. It is a harder build just because of all the pieces. As long as you organize your pieces ahead of time it’ll be way better.
When I bought the instructions it came in three different pdf files. With 800 pages for each pdf file. I wouldn’t print it personally. Be a lot of paper and ink.
Aside from the chest portion you mentioned about noting being tough....Can you recall any other parts being difficult Im currently working the MOC after working on the left leg but some pieces didnt feel secure on that leg. Noticing some stress on some pieces Did you notice any pieces not being secured, felt like you had to force them being together? And I really would hate to start over.. I commend you for doing this by yourself.
I know when I was attaching the legs. I almost put the first one on backwards. Once I realized and double checked instructions it did go on. You do have to force it though with the technic pins. I hope that helps.
Thanks for the reply. Sorry to be specific its on Book 2 of the MOC instructions. Step 1245 the red 1×4 piece is not fitting right. and Step 1358 the 1x10 dark gray (thats the piece that im having the stress push to stay on) Sorry....im just so dissapointed about it
@@albertb.3762 I see! The step your talking about. I think I almost did this to. It’s a red 1x5 not a red 1x4. Does that make a difference at all ? Or is it still not lining up right?
You know I didnt realize it might have been a 1x5. Ive been staring at the build forever lol. I keep you updated... Did you use Adobe or specific program to view these PDF instructions? Maybe its my browser =( or using error 😂😂😂
Gotta be honest, I really like the Lego version 🤷🏻♂️ I decided to build if after all the negative reviews and actually once done, I really was like “damn it’s not bad”. Alternative isn’t too bad as well to fair
I never built the original. I know when it came out I did want it day one! But it was so expensive. Then seeing all the reviews saying it was fragile and not accurate. I wanted to at least wait for a sale. Then I found this moc and I had to build it haha glad to hear the original wasn’t that bad.

ransom fern i made the 2015+2018 combination version
Thank you very much, not only did you saved the kit, you saved so many hulkbuster' s lovers ' heart
Thank you so much RansomFern, its an amazing build like always!!!

He did Hulk Buster Alt Build in a smaller scale before and it was also incredibly accurate. th-cam.com/video/NBq8uHADfDY/w-d-xo.html

its so good it makes you think the original designer was building it wrong lmao
I only bought the set after I discovered the $20 moc instructions, it's a great display piece
it never ceases to amaze me about the engineering that goes into creating these works of art. This is a good episode to showcase size and scale, especially when it's all completed. Nice job.
GREAT BUILD wat better then the original Lego one . Plus superb iron man mouse .
5:00 that mouse is so cool
@@Beefjerkyvr the iron man mouse? I found it on Amazon. It’s very cool!
Just bought this set on sale on amazon for 300$ and came across your video. Can’t wait to build the better version!!
@@ogar897 That’s a great deal!! It’s way better than the original. Can’t wait to hear what you think of it!
Wow the MOC look way better and way more accurate good job👍
Oh yeah, I remember the official one. It's good that you found a MOC that's so much better. Hopefully they do a good job next time
I love the MOC version

Cool video! Lego should hire the MOC creator
looks incredible im just so lazy to take mine apart because i already built the lego version lol
I’d probably be the same if I built the original to lol.
Great build and video. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

I built both models. The original is definitely not sturdy at all. I did like it though. I liked both a lot.🎉
That's awesome!
great review, subscribed
Ransom Fern is a singular talent, beautiful build! ✌️❤️🌮's
Someone needs to do a speed build of this MOC.
Great work. Recently bought the RansomFern instructions can't wait to build it. And using command strips for the art seems like a really nice idea. Any idea how long they last before the grip wears out?
Happy building! Its such a great design! I have the Star Wars Darth Vader art on the velcro command strips. That was released in 2020. So it’s still holding up.
I’m still debating if I want to do the MOC build. I’ve already built the original, so I’d have to spend hours taking it apart.
@@rickginsler1834 that’s a tough decision. Taking it apart would be an ordeal. Just the sorting itself and no numbered bags made it a little tough.
@@brookethebuilder well, I have boxes that I can sort the pieces into. It’s just the disassembly that’s going to be tough.
@@rickginsler1834 yah some of that technic would be terrible to take apart.
So I took the plunge and started. I just finished attaching the 2nd arm socket (with the big round gear), and other parts surrounding from earlier steps started falling off. Not the easiest thing to build.
i really wanna get this but its very hard when i have a same size model of mecha godzilla for $120 in my closet.
That’s my dream Lego set
@@DanielHigareda-d3e it’s an amazing rebuild for the Lego set! One of my favorites.

Hi just got the hulkbuster, just a question on sorting the lego, did you do it by colour and size or by piece...
Nice! Happy building. I always sort by colour and usually big pieces and small pieces separated.
@brookethebuilder literally just got mine in the mail and just purchased the MOC instructions as well, and came to ask this exact question. Thanks for sharing and for your advice, super stoked to roll a dubie, throw on a good show and spend some quality time with the wife and puppy. Have a great one Ms Brooke!
Thanks for the response, 12 bags down, more to go
Great review! This alt build puts the "official set" to shame.
ive had the hulkbuster set sealed in box for a year and kept holding off building it and i think cause the universe was telling me to build the alt version
Haha! Yes the universe was right! This alternative build is soooo good!
Was it a tough build?
Not a tough build if your okay with technic . The sorting is the no fun part lol Numbered bags are way easier than all the pieces all at once.
Hey Brooke, where did you get the instructions for the moc for the robert downey jr art set. Realy want that one.
Hey! Here’s the link for it. It’s on rebrickable as well. It is free to.

Hi Brooke. How many pages for the instruction manual ?
Do you think it's worth to print it ?
Thanks.
When I bought the instructions it came in three different pdf files. With 800 pages for each pdf file. I wouldn’t print it personally. Be a lot of paper and ink.
OK, it's just that reading a pdf on a tablet is not something I like very much !!! 😁@@brookethebuilder
Hi Ransom fern for Christmas I asked my mom if she could buy your instructions and
only 8 years old
Did the iron man separate build fit inside the hulk buster after this moc build
I don’t end up buying the iron man buildable figure. I’m pretty sure it does fit in this one.
Very well done video Brooke..that Hulkbuster looks awsome..❤️👍🥰 thanks for sharing 🤗😍
Thank you 😊. I just had to compare the size of it to Cola 🤣. I think it’s heavier than she.
@@brookethebuilder 🤣🤣🤣…Cola doesn’t look heavy..she’s so cute..🥰
Wait so the moc instructions don’t go by the numbers so bag one might not go first
Yes you have to put all the pieces together and sort them. It’s a harder moc build. It’s worth it though! It looks amazing
Do the knees bend or articulate well?
The knees do not bend in this moc. But for displaying I think it looks good and holds up well.
How long did it took to build?
It took me 3 full days. Took my time didn’t want to get a thing wrong.
@@brookethebuilder it's worth building it honestly
Do I need to buy additional pieces or just buy the manual?
All you need is the hulk buster set from Lego no extra pieces. The instructions are needed from rebrickable
Is there an instruction of 14:39 in rebrickable?
Yes there is and they are free! Here is the link : rebrickable.com/mocs/MOC-112124/KSZD/31199iron-man-himself/
@@brookethebuilder Thank you so much! And I also ordered Hulkbuster today, I can't wait for it!!!
@@YEONNI23 That’s awesome! I know I didn’t want it initially when it came out, but this moc was so good! I hope you like this version!

@@InfinityKingofShadows 🤣
Where did you get your sorting trays?
The white ones are from ikea. They are called Kuggis. The clear small ones were from Lego a long time ago. I don’t think Lego sells anymore.
@@brookethebuilder Thanks! I'll have to get some to start my build 😆
Why was he doing the middle finger when u were comparing it 😂
Complete accident 🤣. But now I like to display it that way.
Almost at the end of my Lego build but considering an ‘alternative’ source and building this version too. I will donate one of them when finished
Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice
I genuinely feel bad for the ppl who bought this full price. And have to stare at the original design everyday. 😂
Who's that man at the screen 🪞 😅💀 4:24 of the video ☠️
You don’t know who that is? He’s a streamer, TH-camr His name is Julien Solomita. He’s one of my favs!
