the production quality is insane in your videos
I dont disagree.
But personally its too much for lego reviews. Im looking for a review, not a mini movie lol but thats just me. To each their own
sound is awful
That video editing in the beginning was crazy 😮
I thought it was a lego commercial lol
I appreciate your honesty and personal opinions. This set is a technical masterpiece! That alone is worth the price of admission. Add the fact that I’m a huge Dune fan, it was a definite day one purchase! Cheers 🍻
Damn, the intro edit is sickkk
Also the whole video is sick, thanks for that perfect review 👌 👍 😀
I'm still putting mine together. Got it Thursday afternoon. It's been 3 days now. But, I like to do it a couple of bags at a time, to savor the enjoyment of building it.
If I didn’t make reviews, I’d prefer that too! It’s always sad how fast it’s over😂
Me to! After a while it isnt fun anymore and starts to feel like a job😅 I rather continue fresh the next day when I enjoy it again. It’s not a race!
That intro can make a single 2x4 brick look epic
I love this set. I’ll be doing a few smooth tile and black technic alternative pieces as I build.
I covered as many exposed studs as I could.
I love the landing gear and wings flapping
Love this set. Actually it's the first set I've picked up in 12 years (since I was a kid) and boi was I impressed. I presonally love the technic look and aesthetic as it makes it look utilitarian and functional (which it is with all the functional moving parts it has haha). And I have to agree that the size is absurd with the wings out but I personally display it with the wings folded as I personally like the way it looks. But yeah I think this set is a more of "to theirs, their own" set. I love dune, I love lego, and this set blew my expectations out of the water. Especially as my first set in years.
same here
One of my favorite legos, I started building again this year after at least a decade of not building legos and its just amazing what they made
The biggest issue for me with the design (which I love) is that the look of it all could be improved, SO easily. All LEGO has to do is change the technic pieces from what ever color that is to black or gray. In fact, I have personally ordered from pick-a-brick "replacement" pieces for some of the technic (in black and gray to fit the design), HOWEVER LEGO doesn't make sell all the technic pieces in other colors, ney, they don't MAKE them and have NEVER made them in other colors than the "stock" blue or red or what ever. My "mod" will definitely look better with less strange colors, but alas, it won't be perfect, because LEGO doesn't want to.
I covered as many of the exposed studs as possible.
They purposefully color lock a lot of their technic elements to A) help make finding the elements easier and B) make it easier to assemble, something many people clearly need as I’m astounded with how many people had difficultly building this
Yeah, I know but me personally think that a display model (kinda) aka 18+ set, you would think they would rely on the further developed prefrontal cortex of adults to be able to figure out where to place the pieces. (that's a joke btw, some of it...) @@h2owl205
Jeez the work put into this video. Great job!
Props to you for giving price per weight measurement
I found it refreshing to hear someone else being a bit critical of the aesthetic, as I've been getting a lot of pushback when voicing my own opinions of the compromised look. I feel like it's Lego making a function-over-form choice generally speaking, and I would've preferred the opposite (given that I build primarily for display and not play). But, I can appreciate Lego's choice, as the word play is literally in their name (Leg Godt - play well). On a side note, I'm curious as to why Lego hasn't offered us studless wedge plates...i.e. tiles...yet, since they've been creating cleaner looking, almost studless models for years now. I feel like a smoother exterior surface texture would go a long way towards cleaning up the look of this particular set.
Wow what a truly great youtuber! Can't believe it took me this long to find your channel.
When Top gear meets Lego in the intro, awesome!
Benny should show his Lego collection as a video, would be quite interesting on what he has.
For the price, there should be less studs and Technic bits showing. Great video though.
Really don’t understand how people are struggling to assemble this. Like guys, it’s Lego technic. You’re not building a space shuttle. Just follow the instructions and use just an ounce of concentration.
Nobody said they struggled, I said it’s a more “challenging “ experience compared to lego system sets. And that’s objectively true🤷🏻♂️
@@BrickBuiltBennyI disagree. I’d don’t see how pushing a pin into a technic lift arm is any more challenging than putting a plate on top of a brick
I switched out all the coloured bits (before building), and added a bunch of grey plates on the sides to try and improve the look.
Glad I found your channel. Subbed! Great review!
Turtleneck goes crazy😯 great review benny💪
🌼I really like this set, especially for the selection of minifigures; the Baron is a unique and spectacular minifigure, but my favorite is Lady Jessica.♡
They captured one of the most beautiful looks of her character in the movie and I appreciate that they included the second face and hair, in order to make the character customizable with other looks!♡
As always great review!🌼
All the red pins makes it not look clean, Jang swapped it with grey ones and it became increasingly cleaner. I recommend checking it out on his review :) Personally, I am not into dune, but will buy it because of its functions.
This set is insane! I loved building it. For only 10 bags it took me a while to build. I will agree that its not very display worthy unless you have a ton of space. It’s so big once the wings are out
Love your reviews. Great presentation scale and good balance between objective and subjective input. But the editing... The editing and overall production is next level! Among the best produced videos on TH-cam, in any genre.
I’ve been waiting for the next video!
OH MY GOD! Absolute legend! What an incredibly made review!
Sick editing and effects, bro!
One of the best videos I have ever seen on Lego. Great production and commentary!
enjoyed the clean video editing, feels fun with a hint of professionalism. even though my fingers were very sore after, the build felt very unique especially the beautiful cockpit. glad i found ur channel!
flawless review. Great to see the king of lego back!
There is also something to the aesthetics of a techniс when it is integrated harmoniously into conventional models. In this case, bright elements obviously interfere the most, but they are also needed for color accents so that the model does not look too boring. Another thing is that these bright connectors themselves could be of other colors, but the palette of techniс here is very limited. If I ever buy this ornicopter, I will order colored connectors separately from Ali. Available in metallic silver, dark tan and similar colors.
As for placement - I'm going to place the ship on the wall. I have the 2018 X-Wing and 2013 Gunship placed in the same way.
That was an Awesome video! Great job on it
how did I just find out this man has a lego channel
My God, the editing is so 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. You just earned a sub!
Production quality is top tier, always look forward to your reviews. Saw the set in person, way bigger than expected. I agree with you, it’s not as sleek as I would like, but I think overall design is still good enough where I want one. And the minifigures are really nice. But I totally respect your opinion
Great job Benny!
Love your photoshop videos, and am a huge LEGO fan. Keep up the great work, Benny! Your production level is insane
Nice video. I personally love the technical look. But like you said it’s just personal taste
flawless review. Great to see the king of Lego back!
will you make more star wars reviews in the future?
Very impressive video. It is a lot of fun to watch.
amazing production on your video
Lego should include you in their marketing team and advertising team. The quality of this video is just too good to ignore. Absolutely flawless video mate!!!
sir your review is amazing
I love the look WITH the technics parts showing!
Nice format for content creation ❤
This made my day.
I think the mechanisms involved make it a really cool set, it would be really cool if they designed maybe a smaller scale set that is more accurate focusing on looks/aesthetics 🤷♂️
I love this set. Had a blast building it with my GF. Infact im still improving /modding it after I finished with flat tiles ect.. I actually changed all colored parts that would show on the outside.
What an insane review. Absolutely the best Lego reviewer.
Glad you think so! :))))
Nice intro! I love the production value of the channel.
This is obviously a play model first display second. I hate display models that you are terrified of taking off the shelf. This one you can hand to someone with no fear. I thought those Star Wars sets you showed look like junk compared to this.
Mine came in the mail on Sunday, funny enough in a every similar box as your's did. I want to do a complete color delete with mine. Any piece that can and should be black will be black.
Color delete or color substitutions. For every piece that stands out that is red, blue, yellow or what have you, they have to be black, gray, etc... That's how it should have been in the first place.
I'm the perfect target demographic for this. I love Dune ever since reading the books as a kid. I especially was always fascinated by the Ornithopters. I did build my own Ornithopter back in the da out of my old Lego Space sets (I had an M-Tron Ornithopter, lol). I also love the Villeneuve movie adaptation and of course I love Legos. So this set was a no brainer for me. I also always liked Technic sets, so no issues there.
I will probably mod the set however. For one, I really hate all the rainbow colours that Lego uses these days in their sets and which always stick out like a sore thumb. Here, it's mostly the red ball joints and the blue pins, but also some yellow or lime pieces which have been used on the inside. This is an 18+ set, so you'd think that the customers will be able to handle a set without colourful pieces. It's a shame that I have to fix this myself. Especially since other colour variants of those pieces do exist.
I'm also in the middle of designing a new tail which is sleeker, longer and more accurately resembles the movie Thopter. I will have to see if it will be as sturdy as the standard tail section (my construction is a bit crazy, but I hope that it'll work). If that works, I'll also try to make the central section sleeker without sacrificing any of the functionality. That second part will also be tough. While it will be easy to slap on tiles, slopes and wedges, there's only so much one can do to close the gaps. Particularly the folding mechanism does require some leeway. While you can potentially close large parts the gaps, there is no obvious way for how to secure the pieces, as the central section consists mainly of liftarms. So we'll see how well that will work.
Anyway, despite these issues, I really like the set. Probably my favourite Lego set in a very long time (other than the Star Wars UCS sets, but they're disqualified on price alone). I'm not the biggest minifig-guy, but I do also enjoy the included minifigs. Particularly Lady Jessica is awesome. I appreciate what they did with the Baron Harkonnen, but it doesn't work for me. The cloth piece should at least have been black on both sides as there's no way of the back side not sticking out. All the other minifigs are really good though. It's a bit of a shame that Dune doesn't lend itself to have more Lego sets. The scales are just too big. Some battle packs with Harkonnen and/or Atreides soldiers or Sardaukar and/or Fremen would be cool, but it likely will never happen.
Until today I thought the Baron is a tall minifigures. Didn't know these were all capes, not bricks.
How is this the only Benny video I haven’t seen yet… and right after I buy the Ornithopter set😂
Nice video very cool
I really want to try and display mine from the ceiling with some fishing lines I think 2 side by side in a flight mode would look incredible on display and help get rid of that technic look (hopefully)
I had no idea you had a Lego channel lol. A welcome surprise
I recently got this set and I'm a massive fan of it after seeing it in person. I think it is fair to say they could have put a little more effort into the aesthetics and towards disguising the technic aspects, however I do think the functions and how perfect they operate paired with the amazing minifigures and overall exclusivity of the set make it an absolute win for me.
For a person figuratively starting out with your channel, you have great production. Really good lighting, transitions, and while I disagree with your review as far as looks, great review. I hope your channel explodes.
the editing 😱
You always deliver the best review, wish you could review more star wars sets .❤
Good vidéos good explication and very good quality
your video is so good!
I have the same opinion. The mechanisms are great, but the appearance didn't impress me that much. However, I think that it would be enough to mask it with tile bricks on the sides.
🙂
Amazing quality. Also something that people are overlooking because (rightly) the focus is on the mechanism - the number of mini figures. If it was a star wars set the total number would be outrageous!
I LOVE THAT INTRO 😍😍😍(its a bit loud tho)
This editing is insane
I got it yesterday as a birthday present from my husband ❤ . My 9yrs old son is a bit jealous. But told him we will built it together.
I think they should've covered the technical stuff up more but the like the front
Curious, what's up with the rough surface of the triangular lego piece @6:37? Seems like there was a sticker there then got removed? Quality issues?
Not entirely sure what you mean
@@BrickBuiltBennyit’s the inclined
/sloping piece under the rear wing. You can see it at the time stamp. Or is that just dust that got captured by the camera since it’s super detailed haha
Please make a review on the Lego Discovery space shuttle! Would be perfect!
ur the best youtuber i have ever seen, i almost only watch you😊
Thats some quality video! Do i hear a little fellow Dutch accent? Btw the price dropped pretty fast here in the Netherlands.
So cool
As a professional visual designer I am in awe of your production quality. for 25k subs it simply insane.
I m A Lego Addict, I feel Like I've done So much
Thanks for the sets that you Review, now I get to see If I want to Build Some 👍
The only Thing i dislike about this set are the red and blue pins they use.
Honestly i love it it give off the feel of a machine and the moving technics parts are sick . and this is just me i love the mono tone its kinda my style , wayy to expensive though i wont be buying until i can afford to
Even though I haven’t seen the movie judging by its design and the reference I think it’s a solid set if you like Dune but if you don’t like technic don’t get it
It would be interesting to see a photoshop video on your other channel of you designing a sci fi ship or some kind of sci fi technology/ civilization. Great video!
⚜️ Royal Level Unboxing ⚜️
Justice to Dr. Liet Kynes, the father of Chani.
Great!!!!!
I’ve watched a few videos and people keep complaining about it having Technic parts. Why Lego builders not like Technic? I have this set and I love it.
If you’re a fan of the regular lego system, it’s a very different experience in building and looks. It’s just a preference thing, just like some technic fans might dislike the regular lego system
About a year ago I built my first Technics Lego set. It was a sports car of course but that's not important. OMG I've never sworn so much to myself during a Technics build. The build had all the Technics stuff like linkages and gears that allow the steering wheel and gear changer to work. Hands down the hardest thing I've ever built.....ever. I won't be going back to the Technics sets but will stick with basic builds. I know some of the traditional brick sets may incorporate functions that have some of the Technics parts but hell no on any future Technics.
WOOOOOOOOOOO 🎉🎉🎉
i don’t know if i’m the only one who has this problem or if i built the ornithopter wrong, but opening the doors always causes them to break
Wow, the intro. Did Villeneuve direct it?
The minifigs alone now on Brinklink are $20 each.
I don't understand why reviewers keep saying this was a challenging build and then finishing it way faster than I did. I didn't think it was particularly difficult, but it took me at least 6 hours to put it together and I felt like I was making good time while I did it. I wasn't taking a lot of breaks or anything. I honestly find it difficult to understand how anyone could do this in 2 hours.
Everyone does things (and builds lego) at their own pace, I guess I'm just fast then? Saying it's challenging is just relative to other sets. It doesn't mean it's ''difficult'' or anything, it just takes more care and attention than regular ''studs on top'' techniques.
It took me about the same amount of time as you to build it. I thought it was relatively easy, especially after building the UCS Millennium Falcon. Now that was challenging.
Got a trailer for Dune part 2 at the beginning of the video. Cannot wait
Do a review on the AT TE
I bought this set last Friday at the Intertoys for €134,99 and stored it at my girlfriend's house. I'm gonna stay at here place for a week to take care of her and her cats after her operation. So the second week of March I will be building it. I'm very excited to built it and hang out with the love of my life❤.
I also think the looks could be better but it's Lego so you can always change and modify.
I'm also curious about the Dune 2 and I also have the Dune movie with David Bowie in my DVD collection
My issue is I can get the Delorean with more pieces, more aesthetics, and more enjoyable time
So basically you never liked Technic and now you are forced to review a studded Technic set. And that's your critique to a brilliant set that guides us the way to more sets like this.
Yes, but like I explain, don't let that stop YOU from loving the heck out of this set. It's objectively impressive. It's just not my personal taste/style, which is sad because of how big of a fan I am of the vehicle in-universe.
Only thing what bothered me was wings being bent, so 4 wings on one side are looking down and other 4 on other side looking up (curve). At first I thought that I have made mistake, and mixed them up, but then I realized that all 8 of them are the same and the bent was dependent on what side they were put.
That’s a very valid point indeed
YESSS BENJI I WANTED YOU TO RATE THIS SET!!!
How did you put it together in 2 hours?? It took me around 6
I build pretty fast I guess..
