LEGO will bring back Galidor if this comment gets 1 million likes.
Oh...
I did my part. 👌
Lol
No please no
It had potential. It's just that the execution wasn't great, and the integration with System and Bionicle not immediately apparent.
I just hope that if it returns, it'll open up more possibilities for wacky creations and most importantly, _not_ be a commercial flop.
(Perhaps something like the Knights Kingdom II figures would be a good way to start?)
I still cherish the Nick Bluetooth figures I have, and what's left of their limbs.
Jang is like Jeff Goldblum from Jurassic Park: “LEGO, you were so concerned if you could make Galidor, that you never stopped to think if you should.”
LEGO finds a way
I never knew that LEGO had a set based on The Thing!
Superfreto01
It was originally going to be a licenced "LEGO: The Thing" series, but then TLG realized that the movie had gore and violence in it at the last minute, so bailed out of the deal, and repurposed most of the parts for a series that was still in the planning stage: Galidor...
ha, gotcha! just kidding!.. or am I
Lego artic wasinspired by it!
My first thought went to the monsters made of insides from Stranger Things, but those _were_ very strongly inspired by The Thing.
I know, and its so accurate too!
“Now that I’ve spent some quality time looking at the Galidor series,” that sent a shiver down my spine
Vegeta called he wants his ship back
I remember getting Galidor McDonald’s toys. And they were just as cursed but I loved them.
Same. Strangely the only actually figure of the line I actually had was the villain, of all things.
I got that blue guy and the robot as happy meal toys. A "friend" at school wanted to play with them. Never saw them again. Not sure if it's a good thing or bad thing...
I do remember getting the full-size robot at one point, and had a lot of fun with it. No idea what happened to it.
lol @ jang doing a value evaluation of the galidor spaceship

Hi lego palpatine
I would maintain social distancing from this thing.
You can discover The Never-Ending Story... of 26 episodes.
26 Episodes. Live action. TV Series. (REAL)(Confirmed)
If I had that ship I'd use it as a alian mothership.
I wonder if there's a TV show about Galidor. If it's the case, I'd be curious to see how many episodes were aired
I believe the answer to that is yes. Dunno about how many episodes. It was one season I know. But yes, there was a show
26 Episodes is what Jang states in the Videos about Galidor.
There was a tv show about Galidor... It aired after Power Rangers on Fox
Connor: *28 STAB WOUNDS!*
Jang: *26 EPISODES*
Think they would've sprung for the live-action treatment or nah?
That monstrosity is never leaving my brain
I'm going to have nightmares because of that abomination 😅
I know ha ha but the space ship is fine
When he started talking about it was a show I started laughing instantly.
Both videos on this topic are treasures. I have to add them to a re-watch list.
I fear no man
But that thing
*looks at lego galidor*
It scares me
Lol
Actually I wonder what if we build some platform and room inside the the giant cockpit so to make it a minifigure scale mother ship playset
That sounds awesome.
Naming your main character "Bluetooth" is such a late '90s/early 2000s move.
These videos are giving me major throwbacks, I had the Galidor sets when I was 6 😅
These sets thoroughly entertained me as a kid.
This series was really popular in Canada. I still have my Galidor figures somewhere in my basement.
Remember getting this monstrosity for christmas one year and I don't think I got any Galidor figs with it. I think my parents felt bad about it so I got to get a bunch of the figures after that. As a child this thing was just a massive dissapointment even after I got the figures. I actually really enjoyed the figures and making all sorts of mutant alien abominations though. Thanks for the trip donw memory lane Jang!
Nice another galidor video
I wasn't expecting that "Thing" to return. I was eating a biscuit and choked when I saw the combination.
Are you trying to kill me Jang?!?!?
Literally woke up in the middle of the night and remembered that this exists. I barely remember anything about the show, other than that LEGO made sets based on it, and they weren't no Bionicle.
Edit: OMG, my little brothers had that ship! I had the robot dude, and my older brother had the MC.
Thanks for the review Jang. This line was such an oddity, but always curious on how this worked as a toyline back then.
i kinda love galidor. i wish i could find the sets
bricklink them like JANG did. due to how much Galidor bombed, they aren't that expensive comparative to other sets from 2002.I think last I looked (after the video where he shown where he bought these) I looked and the TDN module was the most expensive set, and it was like $30.
check ebay, some people sell them cheap, not knowing what they are
Wow...I had this as a kid! I've been trying to remember the name of this show for literal years.
They had another large set that was a mech suit with an lcd screen on its back, you could play games on it! It was the best Galidor set IMO
I used to have that exact set and all the other Lego Galidor sets. The only reason i had them was the "Big Lots" stores around here got massive new stocks of Lego Galidor figures and that Vehicle around 2003-04, they sold the figures for 99 cents to 1.99 each, they sold the vehicle for something like 2.99-3.99, and finally they had this big electronic Galidor figure with a tiny LCD built into him and I remember that one being priced around 4.99-5.99. They were basically 90% off or more what the MSRP was only a year or two earlier.
It doesn't look very LEGO-like, but still not a bad toy IMO. The quality of the plastic is pretty good, and the design is quite interesting and unique. A kid could potentially have a lot of fun with a toy like this.
As a lego fan, i’m interested in the weird and strange of lego, but this is by far the strangest lego theme I’ve ever heard of. It’d be interesting if they ever remade this but in minifigure scale with brick built models like the lego of today.
I've been building Ninjago City and you have no idea how excited I was for the Galidor movie poster
This is so horrifying I want to run to Cthulhu for comfort
I totally forgot that Galidor existed.
My brain must have wiped those memories for my protection.
If Jang does not review the KEK POWERIZER we *RIOT*
I LOVED the Galidor sets as a kid.
5:27 i love how he just slams it
LEGO had no problem letting kids mix Jens and Nepol together for some monstrous creations but decided mixing Jens and the TDN was just one nightmare too far
i want Jang to lead the charge & amass an army of us fans worldwide that will become so massive Lego will finally release the episodes of Galidor on CZcams.
If we don't know how bad a mistake it was, how do we know we won't accidentally do it again?
Lego didn't make the show. Just made toys based on it.
@@PhoenixFyre It wasn't filmed at LEGO HQ in Billund Denmark, but it was 100% a LEGO show, commissioned by LEGO & made for LEGO exclusively to sell the toys.
@@JANGBRiCKS huh, no kidding, was looking into it earlier and no mention of Lego behind it's creation. I'd just figured it was something they tried cashing in on. Well they can't all be Lego winners I suppose.
Its very strange, maybe the fact that its lego and the 2000's nostalgia, makes me want this set, it sure looks good on a shelf, or maybe to store pieces or.. i dont know, candies or herbs, but i also thougt that this set will have more features, and i didnt know about that different conections between the same pieces.. why they do that? the regular technic ratchet connectors are very secure, i dont get why they use those, very specific rubber pins.
Why did they call this lego?
Lego made this
You need a pallet cleanser after these things, maybe review one of the actual build-able action figures, the toa mata.
The Explorers' ship was called the Thunder Road.
It's certainly a far cry from modern day Lego spaceships. I wonder if Benny would approve?
No, no one approves
SPACESHIP IS SPACESHIP!!!
-Benny, 2002
jk, but...
i never watched the show, but i got this ship as 7 or 8 year old and most the figs. I kinda liked them as kid..
I didn't grew up during the experimental Lego years, so, everytime I see Galidor, now, I immediately think of Nick On Planet Ripple. God bless his soul.
Any chance you could do Bionicle and hero factory retro reviews?
He has reviews of pretty much every Hero Factory set. Don’t know about Bionicle, though.
I had a couple happy meal Galidor toys. Didn't know what they were till now.
Jang I don't know if you already know this but there was a tv series based on this. 26 episodes, live action at that
All I remember of this are the McDonald's Happy Meal toys! I never remembered what it was called, so I never knew what to look up about it.
This was one of three sets I got for Christmas of 2002. I found this one to be quite interesting. I remember reading the comic that showed all the good guys getting into this ship when the actual physical ship could only hold one figure. Actually, I was able to get two figures into the ship, but still. I know that they needed to make the set be affordable and not make it mega big for five figures in the series and maybe it would have worked better as a ship for minifigures. I'm not saying this should be for minifigures, the existing thing, but I'm just saying that if they were to make a ship that could hold as many people inside of it as it did in the show, they probably would need to have it be a ship that was made for minifigures, using the classic system build.
I honestly ended up using this ship for my other action figures that were much smaller for means of transportation.
I don't know if anyone else might have brought this up or mentioned this, but I wonder how something like this might look as a regular Lego brick build with regular size minifig characters to place in side it? Might be something to try an build with the bricks I've got, something for fun maybe. I barely remember the show, did not know there was a toy line for it. Might be something to CZcams.
I freaking had this. Jesus. Long time no see!
“It’s called the egg” -Galidor mabey
That's bizarre, the nick bluetooth deluxe has those exact pieces like you said but they have the standard technic ratchet joint ends. I got that as a gift and got scarred for life
...man, now I want to hear Ashens's thoughts on this thing. This whole series is so...bizarre for the sticky-brick company.
I remember when you got this in a haul. I want to see you MOC this for Melanby District!
Oh wow. I always forget these things existed...
Don’t worry I remember the reading rainbow, oddly, I wasn’t a 80s kid, I wasn’t even a 1900s kid. I was born in the early 2000s and some how i oddly remember it. But I only have a little sliver of that memory.
I unironically like that insane ship. I'd love to see the Galidor theme return with actual LEgo bits and better designs!
The TDN wing in the deluxe Bluetooth set indeed has a gray Technic pin based connection and not the black rubber connections in this set.
I remember getting the set with the guy and a spring fist...
I found the Euripides figure at a flea market. People would stop and pick him up & look at him, but he had been on the shelf for a very, very, very long time apparently. He was selling for $15 but the owner gave me a deal, and I got him for $10. Ever since, I’ve loved Galidor. I someday want to get all the figures. I know most people hate the theme, but I’m just fascinated by it because it’s so weird and all the parts are so specialized. I love the figure so much, I actually wrote a rather long and semi-positive review on Bricklink.
What were they thinking.....
I guess it is an interesting display piece.
I remember having this as a kid but having no idea what this was or where it came from. I often forgot that it was Lego only to be reminded by the logo.
Any company:ahh yes ima make Bluetooth on basically anything with no copyright
Nick bluetooth: *excuse me what the heck*
It looks good and it can be nodded or placed on your Space Force base as a seized alien spaceship.....
Looks cute.
MY EYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEESSSS!!!!!!!!!!
I love you and Beyond the Brick. This collaboration is up there with Run DMC and Aerosmith 😂
Hope to see you review Ooni at some point!
I'd probably use that as a Alian mother ship as it's so huge lol.
wow this thing is huge
Now I will keep that monstrosity locked away with all my angry clones.
I was never aware of this being a Galidor set
Perhaps they could bring back Galidor, if they use a more modern standard.
Lego in the early 2000s were having a bit of a crisis, they tried ton of weird experiments like Galidor and moved further and further away from the core idea in Lego. What seem to have saved them is the huge focus on branded sets that can drive sales via popular movies and franchises like Star Wars.
That wasn't it either. They actually had one of their worst years in 2003, when there were no movies for HP and SW to tie into.
What saved them was cutting back the amount of parts and colours, and to focus on the basics, such as starting the City range with modernized but classic designs.
You can read more about it in Brick By Brick.
This makes me question everything I knew about Lego on every level
I said it on the last video and I'll say it again, Hasbro copied Galidor and nobody complained at all about their version with Marvel Superheroes. There's just a stigma around Lego making non-Lego stuff.
Are you talking about Build-A-Figures or something else entirely? Because the idea of a buildable action figure was not pioneered by LEGO.
I remember getting this set.
That action figure looks crazy
Honestly, why didn’t LEGO do more plastic vehicles based on the vehicles from Bionicle: Legends of Metru Nui? That’s what the Galidor vehicle reminds me a lot of.
Ive had that purple thing, now i know that it was "lego" and what it was
A fun line! The shows good as well
Thanks Jang. Funny review. Just weird lego set.🕷🎃🤠
Happy Halloween 🕸🦇
I remember having the whole line as a kid... I have many regrets...
5:27 that was violent
Hey JANG i was just at a new toy store location in pleasant hill that you should check out if you’re in the east bay soon. they have a good amount of galidor including (when i was there last week) a nick bluetooth deluxe, and a bunch of other cool stuff. i got a great deal on a retired set and there might be some stuff you’re interested in! it’s called pot of gold on contra costa blvd.
I can't believe I wanted this as a kid. It's just so limiting.
They Fly Now?!?!?
They fly now
They fly now...
Galidor 2020 reboot! Make it happen Lego!
This is galaxies far far away from the lego I know and love. My simple mind designed for studs and anti studs is now damaged forever aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks so much Jang!
The Dark Nightmare module
This is so odd! I wonder if you could somehow integrate it into your Mellemby District... 🤔
This series makes me wish for a more Lovecraftian theme.
You should try to integrate this in your city, Jang.
A Smart Car with its wheels replaced with tiny legs.
What the actual heck was Lego thinking when they created this thing?!
Hmmm, cool egg with rockets!
i dont have but i want to say i love you're vids
Why did this thing use system-proprietary joints, mixing and matching parts was the whole point of Galidor, it’d make the pod interesting to build up custom legs or service arms, how did they mess that up...
I had this thing
why does the spider-human-robot hybrid thingy look like something sid from toy story made LOL
for context for this stuff, Bionicle came out the year prior, and on the shelves were Galidor and the Bionicle toa nuva and Bohrok, let that sink in. Bionicle was everywhere, it was Lego's big thing in 2002, and Lego was like, "lets try this," and relased Galidor..which imo is a neat theme but it's too much not "lego" to ever be popular.
i use those piece to build bionicle moc and everyone is amaze
