The City theme always has the most charming, wholesome and jolly sets
At least for a generally younger audience, this is what LEGO should be. Kids should be able to make their creations however they want, and the customizable features in this set really allows them to achieve that. Ok I probably thought too deep into this.
Think your thoughts are fine on this. I believe the set has potential like JANG said. But to me that would be if they make 2 or 3 more sets in this subtheme. Have a car with maybe 1 or 2 design pieces front/back. Or just 1 with an additional engine for let's say 15 euros. I think they kinda fumbled with it since they gave us that electric sports/city car with the charger. If that car was designed to have the front and rear altered that would really have made this set sell more. Since it would then become its own subtheme.
I would've loved this set as a kid, making my own custom attachments with spare pieces to mix and match between the cars. It really invites you to be creative and customize on your own.
I think the pieces that are printed are meant to be touched and moved a lot and testing (or just logic) says that the repeated use of sticker parts will make the sticker peal off pretty quick. Especially for certain parts.
As a car person, this set seems insanely cool. It's super super neat they paid homage to the bosozoku subculture of car modification.
This would be so cool with one of the space theme sets. Imagine the space garage and two small one person ships with interchangeable and customizable bits for the fronts, backs and sides of the ship. Short wings, long wings, stretched back with robot compartment or short back with bigger engine outtakes. This is a really great system. I am right there with you that they should expand on this a few more times with varying sets. I hope it takes off with kids so they do more with it.
Reminds me of the Space Police biker gang - that was a fun theme mostly for the new and unusual aliens!
JANG! I just watched your review of the LEGO City Custom Car Garage and I have to say, I'm really impressed! The idea of being able to customize and modify my own cars in the garage is really cool
Looks genuinely fun to play with.
As an adult lego fan I tend to get caught up in more of a 'model making' kind of mindset.
This set is a good reminder to play around too.
This is a great set! I love that it encourages kids to really start thinking about customization
Review season is upon us ❤️❤️❤️
Amazingly good set I would have absolutely loved when first collecting Lego. Liked the layout of the car garage a couple of years back as it also had a tow truck, but the effort into the customizability and detail of each car as well as actual individual prints are very impressive. As good as the 8 wide series of Speed Champions cars are I still kinda miss the diorama displays similar to this in the larger sets which really added to the display value.
This almost looks like Lego poached a few Hot Wheels designers to design this.
Keep up the EXCELLENT work Jang, Definitely getting this set.
If we were in 2010 or 2011 I could easily see this being a ModNation Racers set, or as mentioned in the reveals video, a Lego Universe racing tie-in.
Either way this is a stand-out set for City with a great concept and execution for its target age range.
Love that teal! Gonna make some Rock Raiders with it
This set is so well done - great play and re-play value plus not terribly breaking the bank. I would have loved it as a kid.
Yellow car looks like a modernized 1990 Celica, and the mods are bosozoku style.
That said, as an adult carguy, this is one of the best Lego sets I've seen, speed champions included!
Buying this for my son who is currently 18 months and will save it til' hes around 5-6. Amazing set imo.
Jangbricks review season is back!! We appreciate how hard you work and it’s a treat for us
This is pretty much the perfect playset. Cool for kids to play with and customize their cars and cool for afols because of the engine and intercooler details and bosozoku reference. They put a lot of thought into this. Definitely designed by car enthusiasts!
The minifigure in the wheelchair will need the spare wheel. With the welding torch so close to the wheel on the chair, it’s bound to get damaged eventuality in universe
Absolutely loving the new background!
The gold rims on the teal car makes me want to try making a custom 6 studs wide Impreza WRX. 👀
I remember when I was younger I was especially into making custom Lego cars. This was mid to late 2000s so there wasn’t a whole lot of selection and the 2 seater chassis piece was mainly used for trucks. 9/10 cars released then only allowed room for one fig. I remember watching videos on TH-cam looking up how to build the coolest custom looking cars. Just like with everything else now, there’s been a huge step up since that time. These speed champions cars are exactly what I’m talking about. 2 seater chassis with 15+ years of newer piece molds to build around it and not only make it look like the car, but it’s also finished too with minimal studs. But then there’s this, which allows for the younger crowd, the crowd I was once apart of, to really customize to their hearts content. As a kid, I would’ve been begging my parents for this
As soon as I saw this, I immediately thought this would go great with the Speed Champions line!
Speed Champions have moved to 8-wide cars
MORE OF THIS LEGO THIS IS AMAZING
Has a very cyberpunk-esque feel to it. Pretty cool. Price is a tad bit steep but not as high as I figured it would be. Usually city sets of this size (400-1000ish pieces) in Canada are priced at around 20c per piece, but this is at around 15-16c per piece
This is Something I would have wanted as a kid!
Your stickers are so perfect
If I was younger I probably would've gone nuts for this set
I was waiting for this one specifically from you. Great stuff
Really fun set, whoever the designer was has some good taste with the Bosozoku reference
kinda deadens the lego experience making modular edits instead of having the kids edit them more creatively by taking stuff apart and back together in its actual pieces
This is actually a really good set. Especially if you have the electric sports car, police car chase, and police car sets. As well as having more car parts for it. Love this set
I love this set!
Review season has begun!
What kinda amazes me on a sidenote with Jang, is that he's not only super knowledgeable with lego, but in kinda all the fields that lego encompasses. From cars, to car parts, to car events, to boats, to space exploration ships, launchers, to star wars, to all the lego subthemes, he knows it all, lego and real life versions. A truly curious mind ! Which makes the reviews all the more entertaining.
I really love when lego does stuff like this to encourage building outside of the rules of the instruction book. I remember life on mars did something similar with its mechs
Wow I love this!! I definitely want this set!!
That ponytail and ballcap piece in that colour was in the Speed Champions Mercedes double pack from last year.
3:12 shape-wise, it reminds me of 240Z Fairlady, I think that's what designers were aiming to replicate
4:22 I can see an NSX with Rocket Bunny kit in it
I love this set, for some reason it gives me Underground Chop Shop vibes... In which case would fit underneath my elevated Highway...
New studio! I like the big shelves 😊
Pretty nice set. I've never thought I'd see so many printed pieces on a City set. I liked this new wheelchair piece. The car customization is a nice feature, although some of the custom parts make them look like more Cyberpunk than something we'd see on Fast & Furious.
For sure I'll combine this one with the previous custom car garage...
It’s a good day when jang post
this is one of the most charming pieces I've seen from them in a while, very happy with it I would've absolutely loved this as a kid, and its one I'd consider even setting up now theres a coolness to the visual. Thanks for reviewing Jang!
Awesome set, great review, glad you talked about this specific set, it's great to see so much work and effort put into this, the prints, the options of customisation, this is so much of what Lego is about imo
Happy New year jang ,mate
Very solid set! love that girl on WHeelchair!
im glad lego are encouraging modification of sets. for a lot of kids i know just a box of parts can be a little intimidating so slowly introducing the idea of mocs will be really good in the long term !!
Ave Jang. First off: happy new year to you and your family. And ofcourse congats on the 10k subcribers!!! 😃😃😃
W vid W creator W person
Whoa Jang knows his cars! Cool haha. Will add this inside my garage corner..
Just bought 2 of this set yesterday and a couple other city/speed champion cars to go with it, including 2 of the newer police cars that kinda look like hot rods
This set reminds me so much of the cars from gta online, especially Benny's workshop lol.
This is such a cool set. I love the fact you can mix and match parts. I'd have sooo much fun with this as a kid. I have ideas already for this. Definitely buying this set and gonna add it to the other garage set to make a really cool custom car garage.
Love the review and the new background!!
It looks like a cute set. Good for the younger city builders. For me as an adult, I would prefer an expert building fully enclosed to compliment the bookshop, assembly square and such.
I wish I had that set
Like your reviews so much 👍 Thanks Jang
Picked this up at Costco today for $45, totally worth getting at that price point!
I know the Super Mario sets aren't popular with everyone but the number of new recolours and specialised parts we are getting is great. I'm buying up cheap part packs on the second hand market for moc building and the rounded double-thickness plates are great for terrain.
I don’t even like cars that much but this is cool. I love some of those prints!
loving the new setup!
I like the new display!
I love the colors, glad there ain’t 100 stickers. Also I’m glad you can change all the body kits!
I don’t need the other garage stuff though
I love this set. Some cool cars with nice customization options. Rear, back, and engine. Yeah, I bet they were thinking like car people. 🙂
The garage stuff could go well with Speed Champions too, though the ramps would probably have to be modified.
I thought the title was going to say a great gateway to Speed Champions haha. I think it could be that too haha.
Hmm, welding and cutting without sleeves is not such a great idea haha. I like that welder's helmet though.
Strong NFS vibes.
I love it
I wonder how well this could be integrated into the Corner Garage.
nice set, beautiful background setup, thanks for the review
So many nice new parts! So many good sets lately.
Just ordered this set yesterday and I'm so excited to add it to my grunge city layout that I'm working on.
That's a super cool set and I audibly gasped when you said but that whole wall was printed. But wow 60 USD is pretty steep for $590 pieces of City it's probably going to be 80 to 100 in Canada 😖😖
It’s $80 in Canada. Not too bad for what’s it got. I do think the similarly priced Fire Command Truck from this year is better valued though.
This looks really good!
that's sick wish I got this as a kid
I think those pieces are printed because they're meant to be touched often - stickers wouldn't last long!
Yeah, this set’s playability is great! Real great set 👍
In general the modular cars remind me of old 90s and 2000s themes that had modularity through technic brick sections, only now there’s a bit smaller connection point, which I imagine allows for more detail
Yo I'm loving the new background when did you get all those shelves it looks really really nice
Yeah, I was hoping for a more reasonable price, like $40 or $50 USD, but it's a really cool set.
The swappable fronts, rears, and engines are a great feature.
This would sell well as a 'toy' toy, not just a LEGO set.
This set great with the 2K drive sets
A really cool set for when it's on sale around maybe 40; love the customizable parts!
good on ya Jang keep it up
Yeah this is one of the best ideas for a set Lego has come up with. There are a total of 16 official combinations (not including changing out the engines for kids to arrange these cars once the set is completely assembled, that is really good. Even though the color scheme is kinda wacky, there are really only 3 distinct colors that also all kind of go together. This is just good toy design.
This is an *awesome* set
Nice to se the 2023 reviews ❤
Will you review the Monkie Kid sets? 🙏
Thx for this video. Are you planning videos about the latest trains?
What a sweet set
Nice one Jang! Lego for the win with prints replacing dreaded stickers for the roofs and blueprint blocks! This set rocks. Great modular bits, colors and figures! Price is a tad high; I'd say it should cost.. hmmm.. 52 dollars and 38 cents. Ish.
great idea, bad price. Will wait for a sale. So far from the new City line of sets, I've built the Slushy Truck and the Gaming Tournament Truck, and they are both great sets (build and value)
Jang,please review speed champions. I hope you would like them
"blueprints" all printed
?maybe the logic is, that since they're all meant to line up to create a picture, yet individually are somewhat indistinct; Lego doesn't want to have kids get confused and apply them upside down and so on....
Hope to see you review the upcoming BIONICLE gwp and the blacktron gwp 🙏
This is such a great structured open ended building idea. I find my son is a lot better at being creative when there’s a goal built right in with the toy.
Also to the people complaining it doesn’t come with a full building structure.
1. It’s Lego, build your own building if you want to.
2. Do you want it to be a $200 set for it to house the entire contents of the garage?
Honestly I might need to pick this up even before it goes on sale.
Ok, now go grab the Monkey Kid set and see how silly those parts look clipped onto these cars! 😁
Car roof the logo looks like Mr best logo
Can you do the police acadmy next
I want to buy this and make moc custom car shop in my lego city kinda like los santos customs or similiar
I know this is just a toy, but welding without sleeves seems like a safety hazard. Normally I wouldn't mention it but I find it funny that they happened to make the only sleeveless minifig in the set be the intended welder.
The reason why I don't have a problem with the price here, is the fact that I am willing to pay more for printed pieces.
