    Yes the little gold crowbar is for removing 1x1 pieces.I have it from the Art Project set where it’s all 1x1 round tiles.

      There's even one in the Batwing (1989); it's stored in a compartment behind the cockpit and used to remove a few pieces from the cockpit floor that essentially lock the Batwing to the screw/nail you hang it on.

    Members of the LEGO fan community have been making amazing greebled mosaics in this style for years, so it's really cool to see LEGO embrace it as well! 😊

    Didnt care about this set until watching the review and now I'm starting to change my mind
    It looks pretty awesome, and would look cool across the world map. Love the 'you are here' piece and the glow in the dark hair is such a great touch

    I think that this model actually shows off the ingenuity of the Lego designers, and the sheer versatility of Lego itself. I am very impressed!!!

  • @LegoBuilderStudio.

    Great video - the crowbar is definitely for breaking into small LEGO homes 😂 and removing small pieces. I believe this set is a big step towards introducing the "Greebling" technique to the public and I personally can't wait to showcase it!

  • @lukasfire7fly789
    @lukasfire7fly789 Před 15 dny +3

    I will buy it, because at first I was sceptical, but my girlfriend finds it facinating and is eager to build it together (as we have done with The Great Wave). I believe a nice quality time together awaits ;)

    So close, but it doesn't really work for me, though it might if I learn how various bricks are representing things and it becomes educational, but the aesthetics are a bit too blocky for me.

    Like you said the crowbar is for popping out the pins just like how it is included with Speed Champions sets to pop out the hubcaps.

    Adding some of the frogs from the bonsai set might be an interesting idea.

  • @brickonator
    @brickonator Před 16 dny

    I hadn't been following this set closely and assumed that the little machine build was a Voyager probe, maybe showing where it will be in X years from now. Either way, I think if I get this I might leave that out of the display.
    I could see some fans of Star Trek, Mass Effect. etc making some fun additions to this. I'd be tempted to try it myself if I get it.

  • @ghdesign_

    This will look really nice when displayed next to the Tales of the space age set. Maybe someone can make a tasteful light kit for it just like the space age set

    The crowbar is used for removing 1x1 round tiles in the middle of the model without disassembling everything else.

    As an AFOL and a space geek initially I was convinced I would have to get this set. After the official images had been published I wanted to skip the set because of the many random greebling elements instead of a classic mosaic. After your review I'm still not enthusiastic, but considering the purchase with the right discount.

    This set is a Lego exclusive so chances to buy it at a discounted price at other retailers are very low

  • @javiersp15
    @javiersp15 Před 16 dny

    The Wave is great. I think it strikes a balance between being a tile and 3D. This one I think went wayyyy too crazy and it's giving me an uneasy feeling just watching it.

    • @MicahPotts
      @MicahPotts Před 16 dny +1

      That's kind of the idea when you look at the REAL Milky Way too though. So I think it might just be perfect!

    @Manaz101 Před 16 dny +1

    I love the concept, but feel like the execution wasn't spot on. The proportions doesn't look right to me for some reason, even when you view it from far way it sort of just like like a colorful mess. I certain look forward to MORE art sets like this!!! 😁 They should ask M'Brick to design a set for them. 😉

  • @rogerhalt3991
    @rogerhalt3991 Před 15 dny

    Interesting idea with the gradually increasing depth but the colours don’t work for me. The cost presumably comes from lots of the small specialised parts? Not sure it’s worth it in the grand scheme of things, maybe $110 maximum

    • @RacingBrick
      @RacingBrick  Před 15 dny

      I don't think the price has much to do with the cost of the parts, it is simply defined by the theme and the size of the end result. The Amazing Spider Man art set's RRP was also 200 EUR (with only around 2k pieces), and now you can get it for 120 EUR, so this one will go much lower as well for sure.

  • @idonjohnson6999

    This set should be given to crooks as their sentence. Make them have to build it without instructions and a time constraint.

  • @Carchadox50

    Lego said use random rare pieces so we can sell it for a bigger price

  • @Itachi_Rules
    @Itachi_Rules Před 16 dny

    What I don't like of the set is the background. The space should be pitch black, not bluish...

  • @InspectorGadget2014
    @InspectorGadget2014 Před 16 dny +1

    It's a nice design but way, way overpriced for me. Whilst I do value the result, to me it is important that building/assembly is not too repetitive.
    And this one does look like it is very repetitive for at least 5x ~ 6x times. And its price is to me thus way too steep.
    I will wait for a significant discount and/or alternative designs if I'm going to reconsider. If ever.
    Sorry, pass!

  • @vladgheneli
    @vladgheneli Před 15 dny

    isn't this kinda boring to build?

    • @RacingBrick
      @RacingBrick  Před 15 dny +1

      I wouldn't say it's boring as you really need to pick specific parts and put them in specific places, so it's far from being repetitive. But the experience is very different from a Technic build or an Icons vehicle for example.

  • @SongsBuildABit
    @SongsBuildABit Před 14 dny

    I think this set will be a failure. Expensive, too much pink color than real galaxy, and a little trypophobia....
