  • In this video, we take a detailed look at the LEGO Icons Retro Radio (set 10334). A working LEGO radio!? This set features a sound brick, a working tuning knob, am/fm switch, an antenna, a handle, the ability to enclose your phone, and much more. What a strange set... but is it ever cool!

    That’s one of the most random and unique Lego sets I’ve ever seen 😂

    Would be a lot more appealing if they included a functional radio unit instead of a sound brick. Sure it might cost more but I think a Lego set that you could actually tune in to local radio stations would appeal to more people.

    I have a radio 📻 similar to the Lego one from 1970 and it still works today. It’s a Westinghouse. I’m 69 years old

    You should put your Bluetooth speaker just behind it on your shelf. It will feel likes it’s working then without losing access to your phone :)

    This is a generational set. I have seen several people who are in the younger generations think this is a dumb set, but then I have seen many people who are in older generations think it's cook. It's nostalgic for them. I personally had a black cassette player look very similar to this in the 80's so I LOVE this. I'll be putting mine on a shelf next to my typewriter.

    I love the radio, but it gives me 1950's vibes rather than 1970's because of the light aqua bricks. Awesome set nevertheless though.

    I would definitely buy that if i could afford it. Bills come first 😢. Love your channel & the family. On a side note tho: being how you have the new studio & space, after building & reviewing a set end the video with placing the item in display rooms. While watching this vid i'm thinking " he's gonna walk down & put on the shelf with piano/guitar i bet". So sad you didn't, maybe next time. Keep up the GREAT work you are doing.

    Totally unique, and I loved that you took the back off and showed us that odd tuning piece. Already added it to my Lego wish list. I wonder if an older MP3 player would work in there? The only problem is that some of the older ones don't have Bluetooth.

    Apart from that, seems like 2024 is more focused on small-medium sized sets, no large sets as of yet.
    Large sets as in the box size like the loop coaster, rivendell, museum (I dont count museum as it was released in dec 2023)

    Just a idea I got for your new studio / display rooms. Buy a similar table as the one the Eiffel tower stands on and put the lego Colosseum on it. I think it would look super cool having them both on each side of the door especially because them both are big landmarks. Anyway I think you did an amazing job with all the design choices at the new place. 😃

    An unusual set to say the least. First the vintage type writer, then this. Are they going to come out with a sewing machine next? Granted they also had that tiny walkman set too.

    @paconelious Před měsícem

    I thought about putting a bt speaker inside but honestly I'd use it to hide my phone while studying, maybe play some noise...lord knows if i see my phone light up I'm ditching everything😅
    also it'll be useful on a desk or nightstand for white noise, a podcast, or listing to something when sound quality doesn't need to be high end to enjoy.

    Question about the paper bags: is it real paper (that would disintegrate in water) or "plastified" paper (water resistant) ? I just had my latest Lego from Amazon delivered in a thick paper bag instead of the usual cardboard box, so of course I got a crushed Lego box, that also got pierced. I am happy it was not paper bags for this set.

    @RobinHullBuilds Před měsícem

    They are not 100% paper bags. LEGO are following the 95/5 rule. This allows paper, coated in a plastic material, to be called paper. This means that when it’s recycled the gloop will be separated from the paper and dealt with separately.
