I have some of these sets . But I do want more for parts .Its cool how lego is coming up with so many set you can use for parts .Thanks for pointing out some sets i didnt think about .They are going on to get list .
Yeah, that baby D addition is HUUUUGE! Looking forward to that with the hope that we'll see greys and some earthy colors in those eventually. (rubs hands greedily!) Nice review, Ben. Gonna have to pick up that Porsche (and a few other Speed Champions) and the floral sets for sure!
I don't know how to feel about a number of the Speed Champions sets. Lots of new parts come from that theme, but it's starting to feel a bit like cheating. Kind of falling into the Star Wars trap now where it's not so much a LEGO version of the car but rather just a replication that happens to be LEGO. Recolors are fine, a new piece here or there never hurts, but I'm seeing a couple of very specific pieces coming out of that theme and it just feels weird. I'm sure I'm in the minority.
There's no real way to get started, just get an idea and start building. Trial and error is important to find the right way to build something, but otherwise you just gotta start :)
Starting with alternate builds (moc's created from only the parts of a single Lego set) could be a way into moc building, but it's not for everyone and you may risk getting stuck in that niche 😜 On a more serious note though, look up some alternate builds for sets you own and are willing to take apart or just grab a creator 3in1 set and build the different things made from the set while paying attention to how pieces are used. However you start it, MoC building is a journey away from just following instructions to a point where you will hopefully understand the multiple ways pieces can be used to transfer a vision into an actual brick build thing. It's a journey of failure and (minor/slow) improvement that can be hard and unrewarding for an adult brain, always remember persistence is the key to a successful journey. My first builds where nothing like I had envisioned, but by acknowledging that and improving on the design I got some of them what I had envisioned them to be. Best tip I ever got was to put things aside for a little while (even builds I thought where finished) and have another look at them a day/week/month later, see/realise the areas of improvement and improve on them.
Thanks for pointing out these sets, was really surprise to see the botany line having so many useful mech parts!
Didn’t think I would see you here! Could you do a bionicle type moc soon?
yes, especially the 24x Dark(!) Blueish Grey Mixel Towball-Holders in the Autumn Colored Dry Looking Set!
I wonder if the plant elements could be used to make a 'Ghillie suit' mech?
@@Agarricus that would be cool
I always look forward to these types of videos.
I didn't know about the new small black part from Speed Champions; it is AWESOME!
The new, small, 3-in-1 sets have plenty of snot bricks, clips and ball joints, as well as rare color

Nice insightful video sir! Already grabbed myself the new Speed Champion sets
This video gave me some amazing ideas and I'm really surprised on how many interesting pieces in cool colors are in botanic sets
The Botanical sets are so so good hey!
As someone who greatly prefers constraction over system, it's been pretty dry in terms of sets I'd actually buy for the parts lately.
the flower sets bring back old plan tree leaves and molded trees which is cool!!
Wow! Thanks for this! It is so helpful to know what to get for cool parts!
Good motivation for me to not quit my job!!!
Hope you still working
@@Adhappynobrainrotkid Yep! I just needed better work/life balance. I'm not burnt out anymore and Legos help. 😊 Thanks for asking!
@ametrinefirebird7125 also take care of your health ok
Great video. These sets are amazing for Mocs.
i need those snot bricks for my mech builds omg!
Wooooo these look awesome! Thank you Ben! I probably wouldn’t have found out about several of these peace’s for a few more months, thanks again!
God the blaster part grew an arm
great review........... thank you
Great Vid thx
I really need to get some of those new snot pieces and play around with it.
This video is great! Really like the this type of info!
Amazing video dude! Subscribed 👍
5:43 Interesting, the part doesn't seem to come in trans yellow when I look it up? Wonder if he dyed it somehow, the photo doesn't look heavily edited
Ask jerac the moc builder

Weirdly excited for green hot dogs
Haha totally agree :P
@@BenCossyOfficial those multicolored exo force clips are probably the most exciting from that set though! Grateful you brought it to my attention
How does this have less than 100 likes?!?!??
Better idea how does this vid has less than 1000 likes
5:04
Why?
How does one get started with MOC building?

These are terrible for bionicle mocs, you shouldve recommended technic sets
Ah uest by $60+ sets to not build them
Build them then part them out
when lego becomes art
