I think thats actually a really cool thing because you can place it basically anywhere and it'll still look good. They you'll have a completely unique build :)
@@TheWonkster Any true Master Builder know's that 'Super Glue' is a part of the end game of LEGO building. (Master Builders use super glue all the time)
Out of all the art sets (including Great Wave off Kanagawa) I think this is the best. It's beautiful and fun and it invites you to look closer to see all the wacky pieces that were used to make it. It's also relatively low-profile (like the Great Wave set), so it doesn't look off when hanging on a wall.
When the first pictures of this set came out I honestly didn't think much of it besides "that looks cool, pretty expensive though", just because I assumed the greebling had no purpose besides looking cool (which tbf it does quite well), but finding out that certain pieces are meant to represent certain things within the Milky Way makes this set so much cooler! (like the Pillars of Creation, something I love so much I have it as my debit card's background) Although I still won't be buying it because of its cost, it's still neat to see what this set has to offer!
I'm glad they did their research and added stuff like that - it makes the whole build so much more enjoyable and meaningful! Still bummed about the mission of the black hole though 😪
Man, the PAB update in about a year or so with these new parts is going to be INSANE. So glad to see Art get some amazing sets recently, and I TOTALLY agree that some alien Botanicals sets would be wonderful.
I absolutely adore this set, I have a crippling obsession with space, and all of those gorgeous colors along with the descriptions for the important solar bodies is enough to make me get it. Bye bye money
IS THAT A BRUSH?!?!? A BRUSH??!??!?1?!? AS DECORATION!?1?!?1??!?!?!? wow, this is like... an actual set... except $200 is kinda pricy. would've been better if it was maybe $140.
Right? LEGO is getting bolder and bolder with the sets they're releasing these days. The line between MOC and official set has become a lot more blurred!
It would be really cool to see a make your own art set with a ton of interesting small parts and a base frame. They could do small expeansion sets to it with extra colour options, allowing the base set to keep to a more generic colour sceme.
couple days ago I lowered my Starry Night on the wall to make eventual room for Milky Way above it. I closed the sliding glass door and down went Starry Night off it's wall hangar 😆 I hadn't quite secured the hangar on the wall new hook. 😖😆
I think it’s pretty too! What holds me back from purchasing though, is that I think I would have more fun making a MOC of a greebled image, than following instructions. It looks like the majority of the build is stacking bricks, and I’d like my design brain to be engaged if there’s that much simplicity in the technique. However, for folks that mainly build sets (not MOCs) and would like a relaxing build, I can see how this would appeal!
Wowie! This set looks really pretty… these are the exact things you said hahah… but you were right. It seems very difficult and tedious to build though.
gonna put this in the "maybe in the future" list, i really like the way it looks and how it is made out of a lot of creative elements, so that you can really look close at it and it give s a whole different perspective. but the sheer amount of great and expensive sets coming out between now and august makes me already a bit weak in the wallet department, so i hope to be able to pick this up at some point before it rotates out of stock
Cool set! Are there any completely new or at least unique coloured pieces in it? That could have been a cool touch to the video listing them if theres any.
Wow it do be pretty. Love all of the recolors of intersting pieces like the light orange hermit crab as a the crab Nebula, but missed opportunity to make new frog color like a glittery trans dark purple frog hanging out in space 🌌
I really REALLY love this set! Am totally going to get this bad boy asap. Been hoping they made a milky way art set. And this set is more then i would've hoped it was going to be.
This set looks incredible! It already had my attention before but after watching this video I am certain I must have one as a display piece above where I'll keep my 2024 space sets to compliment them. I just know my partner will love putting this together with me.
Man they gotta make the planet space themed brickheadz. Seriously I adore this set and love to see lego tackle a model like this and its just absolutely wonderful plus frogs 😄🤑
Great video Awesome set The details representing certain stars etc. are cool The pillars of creation isn't represented the best IMO Should be a little cheaper for the size
I would have loved more little Easter eggs like that. It's kinda interesting though seeing how close they were to Earth. It really shows how massive this galaxy is, and that we can only see so far!
Wild and epic. This looks amazing, but since I already have the Ideas #21340 Tales of the Space Age and recent Art #76271 BTAS Gotham City, I'm not looking for a new wall-mountable art piece [1]! *Footnote* [1] I also have multiple Displates throughout the house, hence even less meaningful wall space for art now.
A little nerdy thing but you pronounce the asterisk on Sagittarius A* as "star," so it's "Sagittarius A-star." Asterisks are used to denote excited atoms, and the radio signal coming from the center of our galaxy was so exciting to astronomers that they used some creative license and denoted the _exciting_ signal with a star! :P
@@CheeseyStudios Oh I wasn't talking about the perspective, I was talking about the structure at the center of the galaxy. :) The Milky Way is a barred spiral galaxy meaning that instead of just having a circle for the core, it has a bar structure. They actually included that in this set. But yeah the perspective is also AWESOME. Makes it look 3D for sure
i really want to know what all the grey pieces scattered throughout are meant to be. i assume they're different probes and satellites, but im super interested in knowing the specifics on them.
this is the best technique for art sets. I would KILL for them to do this more often, this and the great wave are gonna be my first two whenever i have Money again LOL
This might be controversial, but I dont really love how this looks. I'm sure its more striking in real life, both in terms of color vibrancy and the 3D effect it gives. One of the design choices I dont get is the use of open studs for most of the texture pieces, which makes it look like there are a ton of dark dots scattered about the milky way. Shouldn't it be the opposite of that? The milky way doesn't look very milky to me, and the stars or the glimer of stars doesn't look that well repressented to me. When i first heard of the set I also imagined a lot more trans-color tiles, I think it looks too solid. Although I do see why they couldnt do that, it would probably have been very expensive. Lastly, I don't get some of the parts used, they seem somewhat random to me. It looks a lot more like parts spamming than NPU to me, like the parts arent precise enough for the spot they are put in, random. Admittedly I would have been very impressed if this was a moc, but with the parts and resources Lego has availible I just dont think it lived up to what I imagined it would be.
That's totally fair. Some things (the window frames especially) threw me off quite a bit. The build gets a bit unnecessarily high in places for sure because of them!
Is it worth it? The set looks cool but it costs CAD 259.99 (approx 190 USD). I don't know if I should purchase it because it is still a large sum of money...
Personally, I don't think I'd ever pay over $75 for any LEGO art set. Even if you get a lot of pieces, it's hard to justify for something that'll hang on your wall. That's why Tales of the Space Age was such a winner for me!
They should have made a new frog color, maybe a blue one.
Oh dang, that was a huge missed opportunity. It could have been another nebula/point of interest too...
Imagine a transparent purple one
YES! The more frogs the better 😊
They should’ve brought back Sand Red.
Metallic
Just wait until you accidentally knock a piece off and have zero idea where it’s meant to go again 😅
This might be sacrilegious, but I think this might be a glue set

@@CheeseyStudios oh yeah, starry night is pretty cool. i got it on a shelf and its so pretty like there are no empty spots

Okay hear me out: £10 botanicals set that's a potato flower. Doesn't seem like it's a space theme set until you notice it's in a Mars Mission planter.
YESSSSSS
Why is lego doxxing me.
ikr
LLLego Wolf 😊
I'm glad to see LEGO branching out with their art theme. I'm definitely hoping they'll try even more new techniques in the future.
Agreed. So glad we've moved beyond 1x1 rounds (though I will miss the easy recolors those had lol)
Man, the PAB update in about a year or so with these new parts is going to be INSANE. So glad to see Art get some amazing sets recently, and I TOTALLY agree that some alien Botanicals sets would be wonderful.
Alien Botanical would go SOOO hard lol - there's just limitless potential there!
The idea of every piece being different symbolising all of the different galaxy’s is amazing
It was a great set to try this technique out on for sure!
I absolutely adore this set, I have a crippling obsession with space, and all of those gorgeous colors along with the descriptions for the important solar bodies is enough to make me get it. Bye bye money

smh lego

wow, this is like... an actual set... except $200 is kinda pricy. would've been better if it was maybe $140.
Yeah, the price is definitely a bit unfortunate. I'd say for $200 you should go out and buy a cool painting from a local artist instead
My dream art set is a typographical map, I hope we get one eventually
Ooh, that would be awesome honestly.
The pieces in this are amazing.
It's such a crazy parts pack!
I’m gonna get this and add a tiny millennium falcon
Galaxy brain 🌌 🧠
So epic haha
*"To infinity, and beyond!!"*
Nice quick review! I for one was surprised to see building techniques like this be released in an official set at this scale, but I’m all for it!
Right? LEGO is getting bolder and bolder with the sets they're releasing these days. The line between MOC and official set has become a lot more blurred!
It would be really cool to see a make your own art set with a ton of interesting small parts and a base frame. They could do small expeansion sets to it with extra colour options, allowing the base set to keep to a more generic colour sceme.
I guess they kinda tried that with the modern art set. Perhaps they'll do more like that in the future!
“Wow pretty” really sums up this set. I have no idea why I saw people hating on it, I love it
I was a little surprised by the hate too. I get not wanting to buy it obviously, but people thinking this is ugly is defo confusing to me
This and Starry Night are both of my favorites of the art series, can't wait to get my hands on them for my 21st birthday!
Your place is gonna be looking pretty fancy once you get these hung up on the wall!
couple days ago I lowered my Starry Night on the wall to make eventual room for Milky Way above it. I closed the sliding glass door and down went Starry Night off it's wall hangar 😆 I hadn't quite secured the hangar on the wall new hook. 😖😆
just wow! fantastic, brilliant, wonderful. such a beauty, brought to light by your camera work.
I heard LEGO Art was tackling chocolate in order to jump to all new heights, but ... candy bar go that high?
I think it’s pretty too! What holds me back from purchasing though, is that I think I would have more fun making a MOC of a greebled image, than following instructions.

That's the right way to go about it anyway in my opinion! Creating will always be better than following someone else's instructions :)
Yeppers , I'll be getting this.. great video
I love the texturing, they could have just used circle studs for color but they went the extra mile and added soooo much variety in texture
Yeah! I'm so glad they went this route.
Wowie! This set looks really pretty… these are the exact things you said hahah… but you were right. It seems very difficult and tedious to build though.
Best to get the gang together and tackle those sections at once!
I learned the name of our black hole! Sagittarius.
Sagittarius A *, as Sagittarius is the name of a constellation ✨🌌
I love when they have fun facts like that in the instruction booklets! Makes the whole build so much more interesting.
@@Nicenigel14 Sagittarius A * ( as soon as there's a star on the end ) 😂
I really like these sets because you can always take them apart and have so many unique pieces in different colors
Yeah! Lots more useful than an art set made out of 1x1s
What a great review of an awesome new LEGO set. Thanks!👍
My pleasure! Really glad you enjoyed
It's absolutely stunning. As my first major was space physics (eventuality switching to math), this is WONDERFUL
It's a bit pricey for sure, but I think you'll enjoy having this one on your wall. It's gorgeous!
Can tell you've improved on the reviews with the last vid, love it
Appreciate it! Definitely doing my best to incorporate as much of the feedback as I can.

It's the colors that do it for me 👌
damn i so wish this could release earlier in time for my birthday
its so cool and it would fit right in with my other lego sets
Hey, at least it'll still be around come Christmas!
WOAH! I'm instantly obsessed!
It's beautiful, right??
Cool set! Are there any completely new or at least unique coloured pieces in it? That could have been a cool touch to the video listing them if theres any.
As far as I'm aware there didn't seem to be anything out of the ordinary unfortunately, otherwise I would have made a point to cover it!
Wow it do be pretty.
Love all of the recolors of intersting pieces like the light orange hermit crab as a the crab Nebula, but missed opportunity to make new frog color like a glittery trans dark purple frog hanging out in space 🌌
New frog would have made this set the most talked about item of the summer
For sure getting this one!
I think you'll like it!
You should do a modification adding the black of Sagittarius A*.
I'm so surprised they didn't add it themselves!
@@CheeseyStudios Yeah, right!
Chessy's intros always makes a good entrance ✨
I really REALLY love this set! Am totally going to get this bad boy asap. Been hoping they made a milky way art set. And this set is more then i would've hoped it was going to be.
You're really going to enjoy! It looks beautiful when it's done
Are the transparent 1×4 tiles throughout this set transparent purple? If so, this is amazing as I've needed some in that color for a moc!
Yes indeed! It's great to get so many too

MAN this set is awsome!
really amazing to see stuff like this.

Man they gotta make the planet space themed brickheadz. Seriously I adore this set and love to see lego tackle a model like this and its just absolutely wonderful plus frogs 😄🤑
True! I'm surprised we haven't seen any yet.
A day after my birthday! How convenient!
A happy belated birthday!
I wonder if they also make a alternative build if you have 6 or 12 PCS of this set.
where you can build a MEGA milkyway. with even more detail
12 would be wild 🤣 You could fill a whole wall!
thats a goooooood greeble. Honestly kinda feels like it overlaps a bit with the dots line too hahahaha
Rest in peace, DOTS 😭
I love the music used in this videos intro
I love that song too xD It's so much fun!
This is beautiful, I love it. I really like the map-like features of it.
The little easter eggs made the build process a lot more enjoyable! Love it when the designers include things like that too
I would love to see a breakdown of interesting pecies in it. Would only get it for the cool species...
Hopefully the set inventories will be published soon (if they haven't been already!)
Great video
Awesome set
The details representing certain stars etc. are cool
The pillars of creation isn't represented the best IMO

full size Pollock paintings next
probably lolol
*REALLY* looks heavily inspired by Katherine Duclos' art. hope she got a nod somewhere
This is snazzy as heck- feels like a moc though. But very nice, love the little details

IM SO EXCITED FOR IT, i cant wait to have standing proudly right next to my Saturn V
This set is absolutely beautiful. I'll be getting it.

Much appreciated
This looks so cool!
Right? I love that LEGO is trying new techniques with the art line!
The only thing i can say about this set that if you buy it good luck for the building process
It definitely isn't for everyone
I think LEGO missed the chance to include glowing elements. All sorts of mish-mash mumbo-jumbo parts in odd colors, yet not so many easter eggs.
More glowing stuff would have been really neat! You could have turned off the lights to see a whole array of stars
We could well see a Botanical Space set. They have the Avatar license, it should be a blindingly obvious fit!
That would be so cool honestly!
dang this looks crazy
Right? It's fun to see the designers take this different approach
What- new intro music!

Love the colors. They work so well here
its an interesting build technique but i cannot deny that the results look really nice.
It's very "LEGO" - it's fun to get in close and see all those weird accessories
Looks like Lego had a bunch of extra pieces in those colors and needed a use for them
Basically 😂
I showed this to my Astronomy teacher. Both of us came to the conclusion that this is absolutely beautiful
I think I've come to that conclusion as well, ha!
Well, I know what pieces will be on the Pick-A-Brick Wall for the next few months
Whisks 🤣
This is insane!
Right?? I'm surprised LEGO went ahead and did something like this!
Looks amazing, imo
Agreed - it's a beauty
I have to say, the trans-purple tiles are the most attractive part of this display, can't wait to use those in amethyst geodes
So true! Glad that so many pieces have been getting recolored in transparents lately
I don't like that they put gaia so far....
Oh this is fantastic looking, all those pieces look like the LEGO Movie logo heh, and the coral will make it kinda glow from uv
Oh and its thiiiick
Yeah! It's such a fun style
I would've never expected to see Trappist-1 even referenced in a LEGO set, thats crazy
They did their research it seems!
It’s giving off Ninjago City set vibes…whatever piece exists is probably in this set
True lol
I love it
.
I need this
