As an invert keeper with many tarantulas in my care, I NEED THIS, despite not being a Harry Potter fan... 😍😅 2:18 Noooooo!! Don't bend the legs in!! No death curl!! 🫢🥺😭💔
@@Spinosaurus_Aegyptiacus It's not? I don't keep spiders but I thought it happens because spider legs are actuated by a hydraulic like system instead of muscles and when a spider dies the fluids dry out which causes the legs to curl in. I have seen many dead spiders of smaller species with curled up legs. Does that not happen to tarantulas?
@@uzul42 Common misconception, when they die they actually just go limp. they are hydraulic but the lack of fluids doesnt make them curl up, it does the oppositte, which is why they go limp. The actual reason spiders curl up is when they shed their old shell, when they grow
Hey Ashnflash, great review. Just wanted to say I reckon you’re the best Lego channel on TH-cam. You always seem to have the earliest updates and reviews on upcoming sets and your videos don’t drag on. Thanks!
Definitely picking this up just for the giant spider, maybe two even. Don't care for Harry Potter, but any monsters fitting medieval fantasy and DnD is a must-buy. The side build isn't bad either for parts.
Combine it with Hagrid's hut ftom this year, the Harry minifigure from (insert midlegs blue hoodie Potter figure from [insert set here] and Slughorn head from the advent calander on a Vernon torso) and it can be 1/1 accurate
I would almost say this aragog is too scary for kids. The old version was just cartoony enough to not trigger arachnophobia, this is a bit too realistic.
Not as bad as Aragogs design in Lego Harry years 1-4 in my opinion. Always creeped me the hell out as a kid especially that chase section after his boss fight.
Got that set on my birthday. I have to say, as The Chamber of Secrets is my favorite Harry Potter film, this has to be the best interpretation of Aragog in LEGO form.
Not a harry potter fan but for sure picking up this great looking spider built, nice price and nice monster for my high fantasy builds. Vikings and Knights need something to fight.
it's somehow amazing how lego harry potter just gets better every time they remake a new set. IMO each new aragog is better than the one before, and each hagrid's hut is better than the one that came before that, and etc etc.
I'm going to buy a few of these set to make the spider forest from the Hobbit and use cotton as webs for a moc I wanted to make even though Im terrified of spiders 😂.Great video Ash.
Definitely the best looking design we got so far if you combine this with the flying car i would make the car damage and old because that was in the movie
Horace Slughorn: "Good God. Dear fellow, however did you manage to kill it?" Rubeus Hagrid: "Kill it? Me oldest friend, he was." Horace Slughorn: "I'm so sorry, I didn't..." Rubeus Hagrid: "Don't worry yourself, you're not alone. Seriously misunderstood creatures, spiders are. It's the eyes, I reckon. They unnerve some folk." Harry Potter: "Not to mention the pincers; tick,tick,tick...tick." Rubeus Hagrid: "Yeah, I reckon that too." Thank you so much for faithfully doing these in-depth reviews which save many of us a lot of time and money by getting these inside looks ahead of time. Very eager to see you're upcoming combination video, specifically regarding the new Hogwarts Castle System as I'm highly skeptical that it will actually deliver this time. I know that's not very hopeful but, after 8 years of repeated disappointment, the one thing Lego never fails at is leaving more to be desired when it comes to sets based on Hogwarts Castle.
After the HP reviews, could you do Ninjago? They look so cool, and I’m really excited to see what they look like for their scale and to see better looks of them
i have not gotten any harry potter sets since the original ones in 2018😭 so these recent releases especially the hall set are makeing me want to get them 🥲
I might get this because it's a spider but I have to admit I'm not excited for the new HP sets, though I might get more interested after some reviews. I still think the books playsets were the best HP themed sets (individually, at least).
I'm a Transformers fan so I have Legacy Tarantulas (a Predacon who turns into a spider as his beast mode). I like that figure despite being like Ron, not liking spiders very much. This set, however, is similar. So I'll probably get this at some point (maybe have Tarantulas fight and destroy Aragog a bit, or even Brawl or a similar type of tank collectible). BTW I know some ppl are fans of spiders; this is nothing against them, I'm just saying how I may display this model if I don't take it apart so I don't forget its a toy; it's that realistic).
That is very subjective. For a large amount of the people I’ve seen comment on this set, they’ve all said it’s fantastic for its accuracy. Besides just because a set is creepy doesn’t equate to being made into an 18+ set. An 18+ set is only 18+ when its a really large and usually expensive set with a lot of pieces in it. Though it wouldn’t make much of a difference if it was 18+. They sell 18+ sets at target, so people would see it in stores anyway.
I shouldn't buy a Lego Harry Potter Set called aragog in the forbidden forest set I was supposed to save money for the cost of living crisis as well as universal credit I don't wanna get myself kicked out of the house which is a stupid idea or thing I guess I should have just saved more money for the cost of living crisis as well as universal credit
Older Aragog gonna cry and hide asap if he sees his new monster form here lol
😂😂😂
Now I want a good basilisk build, so old legs here can be really scared

as a tarantula keeper you should know that the death curl isnt a thing

@@Spinosaurus_Aegyptiacus So all the curled up spiders I have seen were just discarded shells instead of dead spiders? The more you know. Thx
@@uzul42 Yeah, either that or ones currently shelling
Aragog looks so much better this time around
@metalsonicgamingandstopmotions that means they did an amazing job of making look like a spider
Hey Ashnflash, great review. Just wanted to say I reckon you’re the best Lego channel on TH-cam. You always seem to have the earliest updates and reviews on upcoming sets and your videos don’t drag on. Thanks!
Hey I really appreciate that Johnny! Thank you so much 😊
Thank you for doing the comparison Ash. I was unsure about the $20 price but not anymore.
You’re welcome ☺️
Oh wow the bent in legs look perfect for his look in Half-Blood Prince
Definitely picking this up just for the giant spider, maybe two even. Don't care for Harry Potter, but any monsters fitting medieval fantasy and DnD is a must-buy.
The side build isn't bad either for parts.
if you fold the legs all the way in and turn him on his back, you can recreate the scene from book 6.
And the movie
Combine it with Hagrid's hut ftom this year, the Harry minifigure from (insert midlegs blue hoodie Potter figure from [insert set here] and Slughorn head from the advent calander on a Vernon torso) and it can be 1/1 accurate
Awesome video ashnflash 😊
The comparison is insane how different they are in the space of a few years. I will certainly need to pick this up for all things spooky!
Didn’t think a Lego set would trigger my arachnophobia but here we are
Which do you think creeps you more, this set or the old Shelob set?
@@jaydonmagan4694 this set for sure. Sheldon felt very Legoesque but this just flows organically for a Lego set.
SAME
Okay I get it... new nightmare material 😫
This definitely looks so life like! Wow 😮 awesome video thanks Ashnflash!
Thank you for reviewing the new Lego Harry Potter sets! Your reviews really help me choose which Legos to buy!😁
This is amazing will go nice with the new hargrids hut great review 👍
I believe the best spider build was Shelob from LoTR due to how it looks and its function so it would be nice to have Aragog look similar to it
I would almost say this aragog is too scary for kids. The old version was just cartoony enough to not trigger arachnophobia, this is a bit too realistic.
Not as bad as Aragogs design in Lego Harry years 1-4 in my opinion. Always creeped me the hell out as a kid especially that chase section after his boss fight.
It’s so accurate to the film though!
Rip to arachnophobs who are just minding their own business browsing the toy section and seeing this set.
GREAT ASHNFLASH LEGO HARRY POTTER ARAGOG SET REVIEW
The only kids who wouldn't want this are kids who aren't HP fans in the first place... 🤦♂️
The old one was cuter IMHO
Got that set on my birthday. I have to say, as The Chamber of Secrets is my favorite Harry Potter film, this has to be the best interpretation of Aragog in LEGO form.
Not a harry potter fan but for sure picking up this great looking spider built, nice price and nice monster for my high fantasy builds. Vikings and Knights need something to fight.
3:54 Chamber of Secrets Aragog vs Half-blood Prince Aragog
Just bought it today! Super review! I Love the spider
This set along with the Triwizard Tournament: the Arrival set are the ones I will be getting in June
Shadow from lego sonic will have to wait a little bit, i need to get this set❤🕷️
I'm not a huge lego harry potter fan, but this set is fantastic. The price and that build are incredible. I'm definitely picking a couple of these up
Im not even into Harry Potter like ive never seen the movies but this is too cool for me to pass on
Super cool. 😊☺️😎👍🙏
This looks phenomenal, it would look really good on lotr display too
it's somehow amazing how lego harry potter just gets better every time they remake a new set.
IMO each new aragog is better than the one before, and each hagrid's hut is better than the one that came before that, and etc etc.
I'm going to buy a few of these set to make the spider forest from the Hobbit and use cotton as webs for a moc I wanted to make even though Im terrified of spiders 😂.Great video Ash.
"Goodbye friend of Hagrid".😊
Can we panic now
Definitely the best looking design we got so far if you combine this with the flying car i would make the car damage and old because that was in the movie
I have no interest in Harry potter, but this is probably the nicest lego spider set I've seen. Such a good price too!
this aragog is so accurate but if he was dark brown he would be perfect
Horace Slughorn: "Good God. Dear fellow, however did you manage to kill it?"
Rubeus Hagrid: "Kill it? Me oldest friend, he was."
Horace Slughorn: "I'm so sorry, I didn't..."
Rubeus Hagrid: "Don't worry yourself, you're not alone. Seriously misunderstood creatures, spiders are. It's the eyes, I reckon. They unnerve some folk."
Harry Potter: "Not to mention the pincers; tick,tick,tick...tick."

2018 isn't the original ones. Thats the 2001/2002 ones
I bet you could use him for shelob for your Barad Dur tower
I might get this because it's a spider but I have to admit I'm not excited for the new HP sets, though I might get more interested after some reviews. I still think the books playsets were the best HP themed sets (individually, at least).
Could be copium, but I like the black and tan pieces as accents to the rest of him.
Gaaf die spin Jammer dat er niet meer kleine spinnen bij zitten

I would’ve loved to see a spider more like shellob from lotr
I think with this spider stop motion will be difficult cause the legs don't have forward motion
I'm not a HP fan at all. But this set is definitely going in my annual Halloween LEGO displays 😂
2018!Aragog looks like it came from a 4+ set 😂
That older Aragog model looks like the new models derpy cousin.
Any ideas how to rebuild Aragog into Shelob
Gonna let it hang out with my Monkie Kid SpiderQueen Base
This is too accurate
Can we collectively agree that this set looked better when it wasn't made out of absolute nightmare fuel levels of accuracy? This should be an 18+ set
That is very subjective. For a large amount of the people I’ve seen comment on this set, they’ve all said it’s fantastic for its accuracy.
Besides just because a set is creepy doesn’t equate to being made into an 18+ set. An 18+ set is only 18+ when its a really large and usually expensive set with a lot of pieces in it.

@@jaydonmagan4694 My apologies, good sir, I forgot jokes are illegal in these parts.
Have the 2018 version and like them both. But now with the new aragog the 2018 one be his partner mosag
I am scared of spiders (IRL), and this set is way too realistic for me.
Ahahah I get that. It also means LEGO did a great job lol
@Ashnflash
Definitely! It is a Fantastic looking spider
You can basically use Aragog as the Shelob from LOTR lol 😅
HOOOO HOOO HOO MA GOD NO WAY I HAFE TO BUY IT NOW!
2:23 Why did you have to do his death secen pose 😭
Lore accurate Australia
AHAHAHAHAH
Big Spider!
My friend hates spiders. This is definitely a set she should avoid.
_get it for her 😈_
I don't like the face being a single printed brick.
too flat. would rather see multiple separate 1*1 round tile eyes all built up
This one creeps me out, i only want it for the forest build😬
I was building it until the legs, then my arachnaphobia kicked in and I set it to the side. Now It is a legless spider
This new model is so good compared to the 2018
Lego Aragog looking a bit different…
Hurray
Im totally just gonna buy it and use it for lord of the rings.
this kind of looks like that one She-lob set for Lord of the Rings.
This is too realistic to ny liking
i dont care for harry Potter when will u review cole's titanium dragon mech
Geen lichtgevende lamp ook jammer
i better not show this set to my friend 🤣
Too bad lantern in this one isn’t “glow in the dark” like in the rest of forbidden forests sets
I shouldn't buy a Lego Harry Potter Set called aragog in the forbidden forest set I was supposed to save money for the cost of living crisis as well as universal credit I don't wanna get myself kicked out of the house which is a stupid idea or thing I guess I should have just saved more money for the cost of living crisis as well as universal credit
Since when did Lego put Aragog on Steroids?
For every like this gets, ill get one cone trooper
2 troopers not bad
No car and no dog no thanks
The car and dog are both in other sets. Together you’d be looking at a $40+ set
You live in a basement. OK.
