Nice
Yes! Eventually!
Limit 3 per customer 🤪

I was at my local Walmart today and saw a ton of them.
The reason this set will prob. be huge popular is that photography is such a big hobby. Considering the arts sets selling well, it just feel right to have a camera somewhere too. Great Review!
One of the most realistic Lego sets in a while! I would love to see a telescope in the same scale eventually
I wonder if they could do a working kolidascope with trans clear parts?
coba coba
There is a small telescope in Lego Ideas candidates online. It is still waiting to get its 10 000 votes though.
I'm surprised since I find it very nice.
Yes
A microscope with biological samples to look at would be so great and educational too
I would understand $60-65 since it is a very good design for the camera and the photos , but it's nowhere near worth $80
Then buy it after a month.. why would you buy lego day 1 in the first place?
😂 it is completely worth every penny of 80$. Do you have a job?
@@JT-np1opnot everyone is able to buy a 80$ set, I'm in latam and the minimum pay at month it's 339$ including the shipping to my country the set would probably cost the half of a month of work and it would be a month without eating TT
@@EshapRacoon im sorry you can’t afford this, that is a shame truly and sincerely. Wait some time and it will reduce in price, until it becomes a collectors item.
@@JT-np1op it’s not always a question of whether people have a job, it’s a question of value.
It’s way more practical to put $80 into my 401(k). It’s definitely more practical to buy this at 20% off after a little bit or wait for a great GWP… then put the difference into my 401(k).
After seeing Master Builder Alec make his own Polaroid camera made me want one instantly. I'm really glad that it's an actual set now. Although I dont think the set is worth $80, I can see the plastic pictures being the main reason for the price point.
One of my favorite CZcamsrs reviewing my set? Awesome! Excellent review as always Tiago. It was so much fun being a part of the process and seeing you enjoy the build as much as you did. I also do wish the price was much lower, but I'm sure it will be discounted soon enough. Really bummed about that peeling sticker too!
Wow you made this set? That’s super cool!
It's kind of telling how high the prices have become when you can buy an actual, functioning, modern Polaroid Go camera for the same price as this set (currently discounted to $80 in the US store)
The go cameras aren't very good, get a one-step instead. -if anyone wants to spend a fortune on Polaroid film.
This was a comment about the Atari 2600 set as well :)
@@th1649 you're right, I was mostly just matching to find a camera with an $80 price tag. Still, not accounting for the used market, you can get a "full" modern Polaroid that'll use regular film for $100
Yes
Although you can't take a real camera (or Atari) apart and make it into something else!
It’s crazy that in Australia it’s only 90 bucks (That’s about 60 USD) We are so used to everything being so much more expensive here!
Can't help but notice they still use the Bohrok eye piece! That part has lasted longer than Bionicle at this point!
I love how creatively you've been showcasing your "subscribe" brick in recent videos!
Funny that the Australian price makes it a good price per piece value as AU$90 is only US$60. Usually a US$80 set would be listed for about AU$130
Its also worth mentioning that you can buy a functional Polaroid Camera from Polaroid themselves for $80 which makes the price even more insane!
Or you could spend $80 on only 4 packs of film! With 8 shots per pack! What a lovely deal.
Weirdly with the AUD price of $90 it converts out to $60USD, a rare win for the Aussie dollar. Otherwise the mechanism and overall look is great
As an aussie, was immediately suspicious of the similarity in price. Will definitely be getting this with the advantage.
Here in Mexico, converted is 117 dollars, which is insane bc we have a factory here
@@luigiymariobrothers that is frankly outrageous
I’ve been noticing that almost every set I end up buying, is Ideas. Absolutely love that theme, but it’s kind of concerning that the sets I love most, were actually not designed by Lego.
one of the master builders on here who works at legoland in california originally made this for his youtube/tiktok and it's nice to see it as a real set
This pricing is brutal especially compared to upcoming 31147 Retro Camera which looks spectacular for something that costs $20.
Paying for the licensing fee, its meant to get the diehards and collectors to give up the money! Not really a set for the average collection lol
Very cool "subscribe" shot through the viewfinder on this one :)
Yet another set I would have bought if the price didn't completely push me away. Do you think pricing will ever get better? Or are these prices here to stay?
I'm not too sure. When IP's are involved prices usually go up. Star Wars, Marvel, Harry Potter etc... But not by this much!
Keep an eye out for price drops. I got the Crocodile Loc twice in 2020 when there was one for sale with a 20% discount. Unfortunately due to illness and other life happenings, I've not had a moment to put them together :C
Price per part ratio is the least of this set's problems. Even if it had like 800 pieces to match the really high price, it won't save it because the set is so very small compared to the many sets that hover in this price range.
And it may also be handicapped further due to the fact that there's the Retro Camera in the Creator 3-in-1 range. Yes that set is smaller and isn't licensed, but it is four times cheaper, which cannot be ignored.
This will become a collectors item. Youre pretty clueless about licensed lego products lol
"collector's item" that doesn't excuse the crazy price 😭😭
@@JT-np1op LEGO fan butthurt much. Almost all Lego for grownups is licensed so it is not that special anymore. This will be on sale soon.
@@Bambeakz “butthurt much”? Are you okay? 🤣 somehow my comment made you lose your intellect.
@@JT-np1op Try to be around people more instead of only building LEGO. You have no clue how normal social interactions work anymore ;)
Said it once I'll say it again!! As a lego collector and a vintage camera collector this was made for me!!
When prices were first jacked up, I was pretty miffed. I couldn’t even afford sets I had been saving years for because of the increase. I was essentially priced out of the big sets like the Daily Bugle; however, I rather like now that Lego sets are high priced for early adopters, soon go on 20% discount (mostly at big box stores) and can eventually be found for over 40% off. Sets that do not get this massive discount are obviously popular enough that the price is “justifiable” from the perceived value of the buyer.
If I ever get this, I’ll be watching for a discount that puts it around $50 (like Luke’s helmet).
Might just download instructions and bricklink it without the photos, stikkers. case etc. Shave of 75% of the price.
Not a terrible idea!
I like how the $80 is obscured in the thumbnail but it’s still very clearly $80 😅
Also, just subscribed. My favorite Lego reviewer.
Thanks for the sub! Means a lot! ❤️
I think your points about the back of the camera are well-taken. Instead of doing advanced gymnastics with ill-fitting plates, I think they should have taken a page from the Great Pyramid of Giza and used old-school roof tiles. It would have been solid.
It's a nice rendition in Lego of this iconic camera, but 80 usd is crazy, especially considering the stickers. For a display piece, one sticker curling up so soon is pretty abysmal...
3:27 I honestly love this feature. Get two of those sets and some sturdy poker cards and you can have a fun "shootout"!
100% thought that one picture was Bruce Wayne. Didn't even realize that wouldn't make sense until you pointed it out. 😅
I'm not sure if I said this on your channel or someone else's, but at $90 AUD (89.99 to be exact), it's a steal! If converted properly, the set should retail at approx $115 over here.
I genuinely don’t understand why the community/reviewers are so focussed on PPP, it’s a great product with neat unique extra’s. Surely they have good reasons to price this set at 80. I don’t buy this set for the pieces.. I buy the whole package. I think it’s great and justifies the price perfectly (just as the Disney camera btw).
I mean you can basically buy a real Polaroid for that money 😂
Great review as always!💜
My nibling is really excited about this set (Lego and photography are their 2 favourite things) but Wow what a horrendous price, I hope I can find it on sale for them someday
The scale is pretty good from what I remember of my dad's identical Polaroid!
Its Spot on, just wish it wasn’t $80 which is an outrage. Not to mention some small issues with the set.
Didn’t Nikon make one all black?
A clever set. Lego is leaning more and more heavily on nostalgia for older buyers these days. What's next? An 8-track tape deck? A VCR? As far as royalties, perhaps Polaroid should be paying Lego for the advertising, not the other way around :)
They did a VHS tape in set 43227: Disney villain Icons.
I love your reviews! Helped me get the titanic as i was deciding between it and the eiffel tower
Finally!!🎉 the set that I’ve been waiting for 3months!
Great view from the viewfinder! I can't subscribe twice 😂
1:03 thought that was Mr. Rogers until he showed the real photo 😂
Few stickers or none at all? ✅
Few QC issues if none at all? ✅
Reasonable size with features that makes for a small, simple, yet striking display piece? ✅
Easy to pack away in the event of moving? ✅
The only thing this set doesn't tick is value for money, but even then this set ticks more boxes than the OE could.
Even though I'm more of a train fan than I am photography nerd, this might actually be a day one purchase.
I also love that the team figured out a way to make the button work unlike the original submission, which relied on a Technic gear.
I feel as though sets like this are kind of the hallmark of what most Ideas sets should be, taking the submission and improving upon it where possible while keeping the core concept and identity resembling the original.
Thank you for the review as always Tiago, this set is definitely the redemption Lego Ideas needed after the OE.
lego should make smooth pieces for this kind of sets.
Given the fact that BrickerBuilds has a Polaroid Camera with black slopes for the back of the camera body I’m surprised that Lego didn’t go that direction also.
After the changes they've made to every Ideas set recently, I'm shocked this is so close to the submission.. but it's also kind the lamest
Andre 3000 is disappointed that you didn't shake the photo after it came out of the camera.
Looks beautiful from the front but very clunky in the back. Definitely going to be waiting for it at a discount.
As someone who loves building models, I have a principal that stickers should never be applied on a curved surface it only works on a flat surface. The curve part should have been printed
You make great videos Tiago. I really enjoy them as an Afol.
Glad to hear that!
lego MOC’s of a polaroid camera have existed for a long time, I remember finding them online when I was in middle school, and tbh some of those fan creations look better than this model, the studs are really throwing me off, it doesn’t look clean at all. Also, im pretty sure lego could have found another solution for the photos that could have been cheaper. Maybe big smooth plates that slide in the camera? Im overall dissapointed by this product and the price, since the concept is great.
Here’s the thing 🤷🏻♂️ this brings the nostalgia of the Polaroid camera that I once had and I love the studs… because that includes the nostalgia of Lego… after all, it is a LEGO set… love 💕 it!!!
Thanks for the detailed review, good to know about that one sticker not staying on, and the price overall. I really appreciate the footage of the inside mechanics of the camera.
This is 30% too much! Thanks for an unbiased review, even if you did get the set free.
Hi Tiago, love your work. Regarding the exposure dial decal, most Lego bricks have a slight oily film on them from release from their mould. This is not an issue with flat decals, but here this appears to be enough to prevent this one sticking. If you clean the part with mild detergent and dry, this decal will stick ok. Neal
I share the same feelings about it. I love it when I saw it and run away when I knew the price. I would put it on my list, but removed cause of the price! Insane!
I have been waiting for this exact video for days!
I have been waiting for this one. My Dad worked at Polaroid for 40 yrs.
Have you tried applying some heat to your decals? Just a household hairdryer will be enough. It will heat the glue and make the sticker more pliable especially when going around curves...
Whenever marketing people „think outside the box“, the world gets yet another brand crossover.
For less than 20e, I picked up the 3 in 1 Creator camera set 31147, as an impulse buy. For 89e, what they ask for this set, needs some more convincing.
I watch a lot of reviewers but I never subscribe because they are always so lacking in detail or care, but you are consistently great and I hope you continue grow!
I just wish they would do a folding SX-70
The Lego creator 3 in one camera is amazing value and just as cool in my opinion…
Bought one Lego set this year. The Dry Bowser Mario set. Over 1300 pieces for around 70 euros.
Waiting patiently for the tiny plants review 😊
Next week most likely!
I absolutely agree, Lego is great but you’ve got to watch the pricing, luckily you can often pick them up from other brands on a discount but still for the average people who want to gift their children a Lego set that is of decent size it’s not really worth it
Used to have one of these in the 80s very good great review 👍
No, simply no, not at $80 dollars. $30 gets a real Polaroid camera and you can get film for it too. $100 gets a new Polaroid instant camera. I understand Legoized ships, cars and recreations of famous landmarks and paintings, but not something that’s obtainable at any yard sale.
Hoping for a lego Leica set, because it will probably be the closest I'll get to owning a Leica
At this rate my whole house will be lego. I'll play on my lego nes with my lego tv. I'll take pictures with my lego polaroid 1000. And study geography with my lego globe.
And use your Lego typewriter to type letters to tell everyone about it 😂
I definitely want it but idk if I’ll get it day 1, might wait for it to be $20 less
As a HUGE film camera fan. I definitely want to get this. But agree with the price. Can't wait for a sale! But I can wait.... :)
it would have been so easy for them to make it really take pictures using currently available instax film
It does look cool. I wonder if Lego will make another object like this one?
Probably. It has done the typewriter and the Globe before, also lot's of plants and a few other "household" items turned LEGO so I don't see them stopping anytime soon!
There's another vintage camera coming in the Creator 3-in-1 range.
And the Nintendo and Atari consoles
Try the price of the X-Men 97 jet at $85 for 359 pieces and 4 minifigs that are not very good.
1:51 try gluing the sticker
Glue on LEGO?! You think I’m some kind of monster?!!
@@TiagoCatarino i said glue the Sticker, not the f**king lego. Glue the sticker so that the Sticker can do its job
Wow, the US is getting hosed on this one!
In Aus it's 'only' $90 Australian (including 10% sales tax), so relatively far cheaper.
I am not one to complain about stickers, but stickers on the side of circular pieces are a nightmare and will ALWAYS unstick. I don't know the physics behind it but probably some force makes the sticker want to straighten back to its straight starting shape. Bad decision by LEGO here.
Great review as always. Usually love Lego Ideas sets, but when they create objects that are easy to own, why not get the real thing instead? Past examples where the real object is cooler would be the typewriter, guitar, globe, etc.
Remember the Adidas shoe? I still have no idea why you would recreate something out of LEGO.
You can't take the real thing apart and turn it into something else!
In the case of both the globe and typewriter you could even make a vehicle as both come with wheels (paper roller on typewriter, 4 inside as counterweights on globe)
you seem to not get the point of legos.
Awesome review as always and merry christmas,and wishes for a happy new year! 🎄 Now about the price tag you mentioned.I cannot agree more that this price is expensive for what it is and the pieces that counts,but we should learn by now that when it comes to licenses the price goes pretty high.Smaller sets with licensing that should go for 20 goes up 30 to 35 usually! Though i do like and respect the work in this i would prefer however to go buy a normal polaroid instead this one though.I don't know exactly what audience lego chasing with this kind of set though! 🤔
the only, and i mean only thing that can justify the price a tiny bit more might be the building experience.
what would you rate it /10? just curious, because if the building experience is not great too, then i don’t really know what LEGO was thinking
either way, really high price. like you said, if you want to buy it, wait for a discount
Pretty cool but for just spending a little more you can buy the actual camera. Still really neat and if I had them this would be next to the typewriter, haha
its not about having the camera with legos the entire point is building them and stuff.
the exposed studs make it look a thousand times better!
nah it would be better with smooth plates.
I am actually a photographer...I will buy this set to display it near to the real Polaroid camera that i have ( the exact same model!!!! lol )
but also, I will wait for a discount on that set!!!!
Say this with me a few times: studs are fine. Studs are what makes LEGO, LEGO. Stop hating on studs, tiles have their use but shouldn’t be used everywhere. It’s a LEGO toy
you realize its smooth on every other part of it and so it should be smooth there to match and because like the real camera its smooth and not studded.
This reminds me of the instant cameras my family used in the early-2000s, when I was a kid. I don't believe we had anything like this at the time but we used instant cameras that we'll get printed at a shop later until phone cameras actually got good enough to use.
I would probably get this set as a nod to my early photography days, but also that function is really cool to replicate in the Lego model.
£80.00!?!?!?!? Wow. I think I'll be waiting a while to get this one...
£70 if we're talking pounds, but yeah it's not great for the price.
I actually have a one step Polaroid camera, and I can say that they’re very similar
Its a cool play feature, if your bored, you can shoot with it like a gun
Is there chance you could do a comparison video, between polaroid and 3in1 camera? as 3in1 camera could be a cheaper option.
Why is the AUD price so out of line with the rest? I mean don't get me wrong. I'm thrilled to finally have something like that in my favour for a change but that has to be a mistake right???
I have no idea! Enjoy!!! Unless it was a mistake, but at the time of this review going live, that's the price shown in the AU website!
I just got paid, might have to preorder it before they update the price
In my country this retails for the equivalent of only $50, I'm not sure why it's so expensive elsewhere
Same but not quite ... the LEGO Creator 3in1 Retro fotocamera is 19,99 ;)
Awesome set, I love cameras and lego but...
One big reason I was looking forward to this was since it has 516 pieces, it would probably be around $50, and therefore pretty affordable
Why is it $80? That's overpriced! It should be $50, at most $60.
C'mon Lego, please stop charging ridiculously overpriced prices on some stuff for no apparent reason. I think I speak for most Lego fans that prices on some Lego sets make no sense, they are way too much. The best example is the hoopty set $90 for 420 pieces? It should cost half the price! There are unfortunately many more examples of sets that are $10, $20, or more over what makes sense. Enough is enough
Love the engineering but like the Pac Man set and Typewriter kit why bother.
You can get a cheaper REAL working version of a vintage typewriter like the one Lego makes.
You can get a cheaper REAL working Pac-Man game with a cabinet almost exactly the same size of the Lego one. And with more actual games to play.
And with this one, you can get a used vintage Polaroid or even a new re-issued one, cheaper, that actually takes pictures, is fun to use and looks great on display.
Great to show off what Lego designers can do, and it's fun to see but a waste of money.
with lego its not about having the real thing or functionality you seem to forget the point of legos
@@Greenhawk4 Actually you don’t know the point of LEGO.
Even LEGO designers talk about this.
LEGO is not to be a kit making product. You make the set, but it’s to be taken apart and make something else. And then again, taken apart and make another moc and so on.
So with these ‘real life’ products it’s a waste of money since you can get the real functioning one a lot cheaper, since the point of LEGO is to keep altering, changing and redesigning using your imagination.
@@ShortRound42 I obviously know but what I was meaning is that when you buy the Lego instead of the real thing it’s because you aren’t just getting it for that thing or for functionality in the first place. You get the Lego version for the joy of putting it together and taking it apart and making other things like you said. Also it’s only more expensive than the real thing because of the picture prints.
The ability to literally shoot photos is fun nonetheless :))
Undeniably!
I wouldn’t pay more than $40 for this. But a real one!!
yeah, i’ll have to pass until a sale; that price immediately made me wrinkle my nose lol
It cost 75 for me but I have a problem with those angels back pieces popping off so easily
We appreciate your dedication and hard work. You'll always have our support.
To be honest, I looked at the product before the price, and $80 to me is very reasonable! I was fully expecting you to praise the price in this video. 😅
Great coverage! Totally agree about the sticker and exposed studs. I wonder if holding the sticker down for 30 seconds when first applying it would help its longevity.
I'm now scared of how much the Dungeons and Dragons set will end up costing 😶🌫
Every time I watch a Lego video the comments are full of ppl complaining about prices, quality, model designs. There is no pleasing this fanbase. Hiding sets until it goes on sale or until you have enough is cringe and trying to win the system on blind packs by feeling on them or weighing them is even worse. Hopefully my algorithm fixes itself
also the people who say stuff about getting the real thing who clearly dont understand the point of legos.
I don't know cool Is cool but you can purchase an original polaroid series 600 for a 1/4 of this price
If I wanted a non-functioning example of an iconic product purely for display purposes, I'd personally just buy the real thing. There's one on eBay right now for $80, and a NOS boxed one for $90. But I think I'll save my $$ for the Ornithopter--which I could never own or operate in real life.
you dont understand the point of legos
I continue to be confused by the “real world object but not functional” sets they’ve been making.
Let me fix that “real world object but not functional and way more expensive”
it doesn't have to be functional the point of legos and why you would get them is to build them. the price though it pretty bad
Can you review a Lego sonic set?
