- Every time I build with Galidor, I'm reminded why it's simply the best.
Thanks to @NickonPlanetRipple for selling me his impeccable Galidor collection! I think it went to a good home. 😊
Check out Nick's review of Galidor here:

I noticed that my last video was starting to get some traction from the algorithm.
This should take care of that.
heh, gottem'
😬
Why wouldn't it? Galidor is a Space theme! It exists in the Outer Dimension which is just space bigger than space! 😉
10/10 self-reflection 😂
Would love to see a full blown collaboration with Nick in the future!
Find someone who looks at you the same way Slugger looks at Galidor
Wanting to disassemble my limbs and put them back together in different configurations?
@@NiiRubra Yeah exactly that!
Happy to help! Between my name and the character's, just for fun someone should count how many times "Nick" is said in this video.
I counted 11 :)
@@HIIMPIEZ Agh, SO close to a dozen.
you really weren't kidding when you said you were selling it all to slugger
Slugger's laugh when he pours even MORE Galidor onto his table is of pure delight and a hint of craze, I love it
I am getting the distinct feeling that the people that liked Galidor this much got a real big kick out of Spore in its day.
Ohh, I can see it yeah. I'm not sure if the overlap exists (surely it does), but that would for sure make sense.
SPORE MENTIONED !!!!
I feel called out 😂
That rattle-bones sound effect is not only perfect for the speed building montages, but its also the sound that a non-Slugger fan makes when they hear Galidor mentioned!
7:48 JOBBY THE HONG REFERENCE SPOTTED
THE CROSSOVER WE DIDNT KNOW WE NEEDED, BUT THAT WE SERIOUSLY DO
EVERY BALLJOINT...
WHERES THE SPREAD
I'll never understand it, but I'm glad you're happy.
4:30 Cat Break should be a staple of every Sluggin' Around
man, the cat really wanted to get his paws on Euripides spear
How do you keep the cat hair under control?😂😂
9:15 Gorm is truly a misunderstood Hero, I hope one day he get the respect he deserves!
whoo slug vid day. this is my first deeper look at galidor besides being mentioned in all the other videos. this video ist just full of joy. galidor kinda looks like one of thoses "cursed creations" forums made into a series. the jet-wing-cannon-arms are really cool lego pieces imo. thanks for sharing your passion
If you want a better overview of the series, you may want to go check out the 20th Anniversary video I did on Galidor on the main channel. 😊
Galidor is the WHAT
Slugger, you have to be careful making videos about Galidor. One of your viewers might end up being the CEO of LEGO in the future and they WILL bring back Galidor as a result of this video.
If I could be so lucky! 😉
2:37 That evil laugh 😈😈😈
That laugh is the best! 😂
If Galidor didn't exist, Jackstone would have taken over lego 😮
I hope you know the sluggin around music has been a constant earworm for me since I first heard it
Wow, where did NickOn Planet Ripple get a Galidor cat? Didn't know LEGO could mold such realistic toys.
(Thank you for omitting interchanging of this creature's limbs and body parts in the video)
Hahaha, yeah I decided to leave that part out. 😂
Theres a certain man-after-man speculative zoology quality to a lot of these galidor mocs, i'm noticing, which is a surprisingly strong thematic throughline for what I'd expect from a more strictly action-figure-y mix-n-match building system. Neat!
SlugonPlanetU doing an unboxing of rare and highly sought after Year 1 Galidor sets for his LegoRebound series, generously donated by fellow youtuber RRNicker. I think they did a collab, not sure, perhaps in another timeline/universe, where Bionicle tool off instead of the decades spaning multimedia juggernaut that was Galidor. Time is a Twister.
It's gonna take a LOT of these videos to unlearn that sound effect as chattering/shivering teeth or the rattling bones of a skeleton.
Fun video, though!
I have a confession. Maybe 8 years ago I was sorting a huge used box of Bionicle parts. Like most used boxes, it included random other brands of toys - mega blox, McDonald’s toys, random cheap broken plastic etc. I keep the mega and throw out the rest as plastic waste. It wasn’t until years later I suddenly realized looking at Galidor videos that I had thrown out that awesome red staff thinking it was some random brand. I share my pain, because every Galidor video makes me regret it more and more!
Oh no! Honestly, I think a similar fate has befallen a lot of Galidor, sadly. It just doesn't look like LEGO to the uninitiated!
(Also, you might not want to look up the price of that staff alone on Bricklink) 😭
...but in case you do, here's a link! www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=gal56&idColor=17#T=P&C=17
@@SlugginAround believe me, I look up the price of the staff every few months as penance XD
1:26 imagine being on Slugger's b channel for deep cuts and being unfamiliar with Galidor
I came into a large galidor lot a few years ago that had doubles and a few triples! Galidor IS the best...
One of the things I've always wanted to do was take apart Alegras arms and make a mirror set, haven't worked up the courage yet!
I'd be super curious to see how those go together! Something like a rubber elbow joint?
I had most of wave 1 & 2 along w/ the egg ship as a kid man I regret getting rid of them I loved the show as a kid too
FINALLY some good content... this channel better be dedicated to bringing back galidor...
The way you pronaunced Jens was perfect, it's a common name in Sweden and Denmark.
Yay! The TV show taught me how. 😊
You've helped me appreciate Galidor much more.
I love how much you have been uploading recently.
love the seat as a mouth!
The real hassle would be obtaining Tager. That drill piece that comes with Tager is ideal for classic Bionicle MOCs.
I remember watching Galidor as a kid and the only thing I remember of the show is the series finale was interrupted by a baseball game. I was very peeved at the time.
Brutal!! 😭
@@SlugginAround Plus I still haven't seen that last episode to this day.
Great video, as always. I really liked the airship creature (10:25) and the...Uh, whatever 10:28 is
I might not personally think of galidor or bionicles as the greatest lego there is... but I do like seeing slugger enjoy these series whilst he teaches me about the silly nuances and their importance in the brick evolution.
Dude wh you got the 👹👹 laugh lol
Ooni and Euripides were my favs
what high Galidor exposure in childhood does to a mf:
To be honest, I had *none* of this stuff as a kid! I only started getting into Galidor a few years ago.
I grew up with Bionicle, but... I was wrong. We all were. 😉
@@SlugginAround "I grew up with Bionicle, but... I was wrong. We all were."
Blasphemy. I DEMAND you sacrifice your favorite Galidorian to the flames as recompense. Alternatively, I will also take 3 little Nicks in its stead.
I like the inclusion of the Dino Attack legs at the end, those dinos really do carry Galidor connection. Im glad to have a spare pteranodon wing along with my raptor and lizards in that theme
Oh my god! Jobby the hong reference in slugger
The Glinch is strong with this one
I loved this toy dude it was great
Loved the cat break.
Love the surprise cameo from your cat, just like in the old live streams! I just hope it didn’t chew too hard on the pieces and leave tooth marks.
if it wasn't for galidor, we wouldn't have the knights kingdom or exo force joints
Y'know, I've been doing a lot of thinking about the Galidor release while watching your videos. I remember finding the idea really interesting in catalogs, but seeing the toys in the store, it was always sort of uncanny looking at the organic mix-n-match limb thing going on. Now the one that *did* catch my interest was the awesome looking Jens robot! Unfortunately, it was the only stand-alone figure with that kind of mechanical look, which defeated the entire mix-n-match gimmic for me.
If only Lego had released a line of buildable figures leaning more on a robotic aesthetic, I think they would have had a real winner on their hands!
Indeed! I’ve often expressed the opinion that Galidor works if you remove the human characters. Then, add in more robots/sci-fi creatures and you’re golden!
slug be like:
"mmmm Galidor" (evil cackling)
What a supremely silly video! It was delightful.
I love how clicky the figures are!
Swivel Man cameo spottet
7:48 I see what you did there....
I ended up with a complete Gorm from a big box of Bionicles I got from a yard sale sometime around 2009, had no idea it was Lego until years later. I think I still have it ... somewhere.
I haven't watched the video yet, but I love how smug the slug looks on the thumbnail
It's like he is saying "Yes. We both know it. You can't do anything about that."
your cat's so cuuute
Why do people think this line sucks again? These are perfectly cool action figures, with a very distinct early 2000’s style. I wanted them when I was younger but never got any.
I believe it’s largely because of the LEGO logo on the box. I think a lot of folks have a predetermined idea on what LEGO *is* and what it *isn’t*
@@SlugginAround Yeah you’re probably right. If it were a different brand, I don’t think people would’ve had that reaction at all.
BTW, back in 2002, I specifically wanted my hair to be parted in the middle thanks to live-action Nick Bluetooth… lol.
@@karatemaster1144 Oh man, that was such a 90s haircut! 😂
8:34-9:01 Thanks for the you-tube golden moment. Great vid.🤠
Slugger, you’ve made me feel the Galidor itch every time you talk about it, and tonight you inspired me to go buy a Nick Bluetooth off eBay! So thanks. 😂 I had Gorm and the Nick McDonald’s toy as a kid!
Hey, welcome back to the Outer Dimension! 😊
I agree with your opinion
I never owned any of the Galidor toys, but I loved the show. To that point, I had seen nothing quite like it, and I see how Doctor Who gave it a lot of influence considering that The Egg was essentially a Tardis. But the writing was pretty strong as I remember, there were some good comedic moments, as well as heart warming moments and the show was not overly serious even when it was being serious. If I had known how much toy sales mattered back then for the show to pick up a second season or at least continue from it's cliffhanger ending, I might have well gone out of my way to get some of the figures. Ah well, at least there's fun to be had, even if the results can be quite the abominations if you go beyond the human figure. (I do remember seeing ads that showed a few such abominations, so it was clearly intended to be allowed to do that.) I think Galidor as a whole was ahead of it's time, as these days you can easily pick up action figures that have customization options to basically make your own creations. Galidor could fit right in with such figures if they use the right aesthetic. Nothing realistic, but a stylized cartoon aesthetic I think would work very well, especially if a Galidor revival were to be done as a cartoon and it picked right up where the live action show left off. (It would have to since I know the actors are much older now.)
That's super cool! Thanks for sharing your history with the theme!
I had neither the toys nor saw the show when I was young, but I do remember all the Galidor advertisement in the LEGO Magazines of the era. I had always assumed it was some show LEGO bought the toy license for... it wasn't until I was an adult that I realized it was an original LEGO IP! 😮
7:22 This is untrue. Galidor figures can hold technic pins in their arms so there is a connection between Galidor and normal pieces
Kind of..! It doesn't feel like an intended connection to me - the way that Technic pins *loosely* fit in their grasp, while Technic axles fall right out doesn't feel like a legal connection.
Man I actually really like Galidor. It's a bummer how big of a failure it was
I used to love Galidor though I had no real knowledge of it. My parents bought me the CD on clearance for the (not so good) Galidor PC game one time and I spent hours on it with a friend of mine. Growing up and seeing all these videos of it... well... I love it, even if it's not what I love from Lego, as a company. It's weird and creative, a totally different way to look at constraction. Maybe it was overambitious and it didn't work out, but these niche, weird creative ideas are missing from Lego today.
lol, it only took 3 videos to finally get to the main course: Galidor.
I love your cat so much, they are just as interested in the Galidor haul.
10:27 Oh wow, all of these creations were pretty cool, but I love the creativity of using the seat sideways as a head!
Thank you! There's tons of creative stuff that can be done with Galidor!
You got a blue nepal? You need to put on a jacket, or turn on your heater!
Released by any other toy company Galidore would have been at least a reasonably successful line of action figures with a quirky play feature. Released by Lego the response was a near universal, wtg?
I remember yeara ago Bricktsar joked with me about Allegra being named like the allergy medicine. Pretty sure i had it on video by chance.
SWIVEL HERE!!!!
Galidor IS the best!
Hiya Slugger, if you don't mind me asking, what are you using to film these build videos? The resolution seems so low to me every time, like it's a lowspec webcam.
Forgive me if I'm wrong, but I feel you could get much better video quality by mounting your phone on a stand and using that to film.
Dank Pods, another CZcamsr I follow, uses I believe his old iPhone 13 or something like that to film all his vids, and they look very crisp.
Haha, yeah this is my livestream webcam. I can't mount my usual camera in this position, so this one has to suffice.
That's definitely the trend these days (just using a phone to record video) but I don't have an iPhone and I doubt my Motorola is going to be up for the challenge. 😂
I rarely make videos like this, so putting in money to upgrade just isn't a priority for me.
Haha, oh no! I'm now imagining you using a Motorola Razr from 2004. 😅
Too bad to hear that though, while I can't say I'm craving to see 4K details on Galidor here, back on the Space live build video, it got a bit frustrating at times at how muddy the image was. I understand it's not a priority right now, but I hope you get around to an upgrade someday!
@@electromistress I almost went with a flip phone this year, haha. I'm so done with smart phones. 😂
I understand - I'm open to suggestions! I'm not tech savvy enough to rig a phone up, but some sort of USB compatible webcam of a higher quality would work, I'd imagine?
Ah, I fully understand... I like to keep most of my online experience on my desktop PC, where it belongs.
Yep, USB webcam would definitely work- I took a quick look, you should be able to find a decent 2K or even 4K webcam for around 50 USD nowadays. Not too much but still a bit of an investment.
On the other hand- now I dunno how old your Motorola really is, but most phones today will have a better rear camera than the webcams I mentioned above. There's a free app for Android called DroidCam- you link it with an app on your PC (works on Linux btw) and it enables you to use your phone as a webcam inside any app. Neat!
@@electromistress Thanks for the suggestions! I'll definitely look into these and try to determine which would be the most feasible. 😊
It’s the Aroundin’ of Slug!
_it’s the aroundin’ of slug_
Bum bum bum~
Hey slugger, just wanted to let you know that a Rock Raiders tee shirt has be found!
That's awesome! ❤️
My cats also need to inspect al new (old) lego sets that I bring home 😂
Galidor is the best, nobody notice that the sets were 4+ .... Now I expect you to combine the galador pieces anso withi modern lego, for example with dinosaurus
Aren’t the galidor bars the same diameter as studs / technic pins?
ooh and those weird Scala curtain rods are very similar
Approximately so, yeah - I'm just not sure how one would utilize that? Technic pins/axles tend to fall out of a Galidor figure's hands. ☹
Isn't April Fools Day the only appropriate date to be releasing a Galidor video?
what if slugger turn to his kek powerizer and say Bazing a i hate galidor and kills it👍🏼💓😯
April Fools was months ago.
7:49 jobby?
dare you to make combiners
Galidor? More like Cat Adore
Might just be something on my end, but this video even at 1080p is distractingly low quality visually, I found myself squinting quite a lot! Otherwise a really cool haul, and lovely video!
No, it's not just you - this isn't my normal camera, but I needed something small for the overhead shot. Oh well... maybe I was intentionally going for that 2002 aesthetic? 😉
7:49 y'know, you are green slug,but no green godzilla (I'm sorry If you actually have no idea who Jobby the Hong is)
Galidor's strongest soldier.
Eyelids, they’re called eyelids
Are you talking about for Nepol? It really does look like some sort of visor, as it has slits in it to see through even when it's down all the way. Doesn't really strike me as eyelids. 🤷♂
You da best
Swivel here noticed
Long fleshy snakes 💀💀💀
What do you think is more controversial?
Hating something that's loved? Or loving something that's hated?
Can I interject my own answer? I'd say being lukewarm on something that's either hated or loved, at least in online discourse, haha. 😅
I think it results in the most amount of blowback as both sides of the fence sort of view you as "the enemy".
Zuko!!!!!
wait, her name is allergy medicine?
Euripideez nuts
Sluggidor
I hate Galidor, but to each their own I guess
Bionicle is better
What is Bionicle?
@@SlugginAround A small Lego theme that lasted for a year before being cancelled after a failed TV show. It used those weird "sockets" instead of the superior hinges.
You slugged too hard and whats a galidor
Bionicle 🤢 Galidor 😄
Like if you slugree!
No, it’s the worst.
I loved this toy dude it was great
Nick made a video about Galidor just so people would want to buy it lol
