The Dyslexic Geak
Великобритания
Добавлен 5 апр 2007
Hello and welcome to my Lego Channel. I am a huge AFOL (Adult Fan of Lego) and have been collecting and building sets for nearly a decade after rediscovering Lego in my late 20's. I collect and build just about anything that looks interesting but mainly collect Harry Potter, Ideas/Icons, Creator Expert and Star Wars, but generally only the Original Trilogy themed sets
As someone who is severally Dyslexic, I find the process of following Lego instructions very helpful as it really helps focus my brain for long periods of time but even as an adult, most sets take me quite a long time as I have to concentrate, otherwise I make frustrating mistakes.
My content will mainly focus on Lego news, previews and reviews. When it comes to reviews, these will be my honest thoughts and opinions as the Lego sets will be brought more often than not with my own hard earned money.

10 Excellent Value For Money LEGO Sets
Cool. That’s one I will get at some point. It has its own charm but I must admit compared to the new modular the museum does lack the wow factor for me.
I still haven't built mine. I have the opposite problem, here in Australia its Summer and so hot all the time to sit and build Lego. Looking forward to buying the new modular to add to my backlog
I did the same as you, Purchased it last year and still havent built it yet. I think your right, now's the best time to build it with the Tudor Corner on its way. Day one buy for Tudor.
Oh I'm very much looking forward to Tudor Corner, so glad modulars are back to being released on New years Day once again, felt strange having it release last December
@@TheDyslexicGeak Totally John. Last year when it happened I was thinking "is this the new norm". Glad its back in January.
Great set. Have fun. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you, trying to pace myself with the build lol, its such a fun building experience🙂
very nice 🎉
Thank you, nice fun set to build leading up to Christmas🙂
After seeing the reveal of the Tudor corner, I’ve decided to pivot into building my own Lego city on my shelves. I want 5 of the Modulars out of them all and the natural history museum is one of them. It’s so pretty! It’s nice to see a recent unboxing and review of it. Have fun building!!
Ahh that's sounds great, very similar to what I have done. I experimented having a full Lego City table earlier this year but it took up way too much space in my Lego room so have all my modulars on a shelf now. I cant wait for Tudor Corner in January🙂
I built it a while ago. It is a good build and an amazing display set.
It always looks impressive when I have seen it in the Lego store, very nice modular🙂
That is an awesme set. I've been meaning to get into modulars, but haven't...perhaps this will be the set that pushes me over that hump. I think its awesome.
Ahh they are great sets, one of my favourite lines that Lego do. Only problem is once you buy and build your first one, you end up wanting them all😂
Great buy from yourself especially that shuttle Argos are the leaders in sale items at the moment seem to be getting better on their packaging as well .For me I got Concorde from Argos in its own Lego ready to ship box.Purchased McLaren P1 from Costco for £215 that was my best deal on Black Friday.😊
Yeah Argos and John Lewis are easily the best shops when it comes to Lego sale, Smyths used to be good a few years ago but not so much now. Ahh saw that price on the McLaren, is was very tempted but couldn't quite stretch to it, chances are it will be on sale again next year🤞
I bought this set when it first came out and it stayed in the box in my closet for 3 years until I finally just decided to sell it. Kinda regretting that decision
Ahh that's a shame, yeah this is one UCS set I have been saving up for all year, wasn't sure if it would go on sale again like it did in the Spring. If it hadn't, no chance I would have bought it
Bought the Endurance plus the lifeboat & the Freebies . Very happy 😁
Yeah certainly a good incentive to buy it on release, especially with the Lifeboat GWP
Great haul you got there and what a bargain! I have been picking up a few good deals, got the Landspeeder before it retires, Mario & Yoshi, C3-PO, Bowser and Lego Ideas: Magic of Disney. Been an expensive time for us Lego fans!
Ahh nice haul you got there. I was trying to get the UCS Landspeeder but budget ran out so have to pass that one up sadly. November has been incredibly expensive lol😂
Achat day one pour moi ! Je le trouve vraiment très beau, très réussi cette année, et le petit GWP ira très bien avec 😉
Ouais, c'est certainement un ensemble impressionnant. 2024 a été une autre excellente année, je ne peux pas attendre 2025
You certainly struck gold there my friend with the shuttle. I’ve been buying some of the Star Wars sets I wanted from Argos, Amazon and Smyths. In fact I need to pick one up today from my local Argos. Happy building 😀👍
Oh couldn't believe Lego actually honoured the price, definitely right place right time. Ahh nice, what set are you picking up today?
The Ashoka shuttle which was £15 off plus a further 10%.
@@simonmoss101 Oh that's a decent price
Was disappointing in Australia too!
Pretty much a let down world wide, thankfully in the UK other retailer's had some cracking deals. Not sure why Lego bother every year lol
@@TheDyslexicGeak Yeah I know the feeling. I picked up the The Endurance and GWP's which was good. Otherwise just missed out on 40% off set 75257 Millennium Falcon. Other retailers had one or two 50% off deals but they are limited to what they sell.
Great video
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it🙂
Love the nasa set. I got the Saturn v this year to match the space collection. I also got the endurance. Great looking set.
Ahh did wonder if you would get the Endurance, looks amazing in the Lego window, should be fun build
@@TheDyslexicGeak yeh, overall not the best Black Friday but got a couple of good sets. Gutted I missed Zelda, that was the best deal I saw
I didn’t buy any Lego sets during Black Friday because there was nothing in the offered sales I really wanted or I already have. So I decided to save the money for the Tudor Corner House that will be released on January 1st because that’s on my wishlist. Congrats with your nice purchases.
Yeah the Lego sale was once again very poor. Definitely a good decision to wait for Tudor Corner, January looks mega packed for new sets
Hi the same thing happened to me with the tree house haha £75 hope you OK
Ahh nice one, glad you managed to get a good deal too. I never get these kind of glitched prices so very happy with the Shuttle🙂
Nice one John. Great taste in sets there brother. Did you end up swooping one of those Spaceman Tic Tac Toe sets up?
Thank you. No I didn't bother going for the reward, 2400 points is too high for me. I keep my points for discount vouchers.
Wow, what a bargain - £70!! Amazing 🎉
I could not believe it when I saw the price glitch, I never get these kind of deals so very fortunate. Very glad Lego honoured the price I paid too🙂
Top notch shopping there. What an amazing deal on the shuttle. That Space Shuttle is an all timer of a Lego set. So I’m glad to see you got it.
Yeah very lucky Lego honoured the original price, very much right place, right time situation🙂
You got some great sets. I am spending all my money on gifts right now so no Lego for me. 😢
Ahh good for you, that's exactly what I will be doing throughout December, think I have bought enough Lego in November lol😂
Great purchases 👌
Thank you, got all the retiring sets I wanted apart from Loop Coaster so very happy
Nice stuff. They have prob created an issue for themselves as wouldn’t want the Endurance without the promo unless it’s half price later.
If you’re waiting on half off on the Endurance, you won’t be getting it. The Endurance is going to sell incredibly well, promo or no, for its entire run. It’s an incredible set and the price, given what Lego is selling new sets for these days, isn’t that bad for what you get.
@ to be fair I doubt it goes on that much of a sale. But it will be 20% at least later. And personally I am ok with given I have other good sets to make right now. The sales around Black Friday were crazy.
Yeah its annoying for anyone not buying the Endurance on release, Shackleton should have been included in the Endurance set. Will certainly put people off in the future I would have thought
dude so awesome
Thank you🙂
What Lego sets did you buy during the Black Friday sales?
It's an absolutely fantastic design and definitely day one purchase. I haven't seen a negative comment about it yet. Everyone saying Lego has stepped up its game this time and I totally agree. Love it 😍
Yes it certainly has been well received just looks so fresh and a nice shake up for the Modular building series, looks like Lego have taken things on board
Probably gonna have to be a first day purchase for me
Certainly the stand out January 1st release by far in my opinion, cant wait to get it🙂
@ I think with a few modifications it will fit right in with my medieval fantasy layout
I really like it. I think it’s maybe the strongest modular for a while. Not sure about day 1 yet. I may wait to see if it goes to JL but then again maybe the gwp will sway me
Should be John Lewis who get this one, but never know. I'm buying one release day, looks so good
@ yeh I may buckle and get one release day. Need to see what the story with the GWP is. The moving truck seemed to show up repeatedly for anything. I can’t remember what museum gift was?
@@Ultra_bricks I think it was the Retro Food Truck for the museum, but didn't come out until February if I remember it right
Yes, this is a day one buy for me, especially when the GWP will be available at the same time. It’s the first time in years I’m looking forward to a Lego set this much. It looks so stunning and is for me one of the best modular buildings ever made by Lego. Finally they got rid of those olive green bricks for the walls 😄 A set worth the price also and that’s rare these days 😉
Yes does certainly make a nice change with the promo being available at launch. Certainly does look like a good bang for buck set that's for sure, but I find modulars generally are pretty decent value
Maybe this year they will release the GWP at the same time as the modular. Bloody fantastic set. Day one buy (depending on GWP release).
Oh yes the promo designed to go with it is going to be available at the same time, makes a nice change as in the years past, the promo has always been a few months after release
Just realised I hadn't subscribed!! 🥴
Haha, no problem, thank you for watching🙂
yep from me 💪🏁
Think this one will be very popular, looks so good.
I would definitely buy it in day one I'd probably pick up 3 1 for me 1 for sibling and one for dusting
I for sure will be buying on release day, nice to have the modular being released on 1st January again, the Natural History Museum felt wrong being released in December last year lol
I think the modular line was slowly declining in recent years but this is something else and the best one to-date. I think competition from other brands has given the Lego designers something to think about and let’s face it good competition is beneficial to all of us. I’ve not bought a modular since the boutique hotel but this set will definitely bring me out of my modular dark ages.
Yeah I definitely feel the same as you, other brick companies have been doing some very interesting designs recently so I'm glad to see Lego have responded by doing a design that feels bold and fresh. This looks like the best effort in years.
I will be buying, love it.
It really does look a fresh, bold design with this one and it looks just amazing
Absolutely beautiful. Usually I wait on Modulars, but I am definitely buying this day 1.
I'm happy modulars are being released on 1st January again, in the past I have always spent my Christmas money on the newest modular but of course that was slightly interrupted with the History Museum releasing in December last year. Cannot wait for this one🙂
That is a proper nice looking Lego set. Now, will John Lewis sell it as well and if so do we wait for a sale....?
Ahh now that's the question, as Smyths had the Natural History Museum last year, could be a good sign John Lewis get this one but you never know but my gut feeling is it will be John Lewis, if so look forward to a nice discount later next year😂
Looks great
Certainly is a nice effort this year, seems very popular design
@TheDyslexicGeak I am not usually a one for modular buildings but this looks incredible. Additionally, looking forward to ideas next year
Not sure why he doesn’t have a face….lol
Haha, just a little bizarre lol
@ I mean it looks bloody fantastic. It’s not even that expensive. I don’t live that near to a Lego shop but may have to go to Milton Keynes or London to get this on the 1st.
Are you excited for the new Lego modular in January 2025?
Hey Hope you ok will you be getting this set then?
Quite a beautiful set. Hints of York and Lincoln in the design.
@@MartinOwen-on3io Oh I certainly will be buying this on 1st January🙂
@@craigmcc1982 Yes definitely has that kind of look to it, also reminds me of the traditional pubs around London
Same here brother, I purchased it on back order, shipped today
Oh excellent, glad to hear you got yours shipped. Seen so many stories of peoples orders being cancelled, even orders placed just a few minutes after it actually went live, so we are both very fortunate🙂
@ indeed
I had the original R2-D2 but sold it a few years back. My only purchases of the Insiders weekend was some more of the blue coat soldiers from the Eldorado fortress. I’ve been building up an army and spent enough to get the train promo.
Ahh nice, certainly a good way to get the train promo. Glad I got the big R2 again but I expect its a set that will be remade in a couple of years time
Subscribed
Thank you very much for subscribing🙂
I bought Ninjago City Gardens during Insiders Week and yesterday The Endurance. After selling all GwPs I will get around half of the money spent which is great.
Yeah those GWP certainly were a nice seller a week ago, price has dropped a bit now but still decent. Glad you got the Endurance, looks quite an amazing set🙂
Finally purchased the 4th 3in1 Castle set. Now I have all I need to build that rebrickable Falcon Fortress. Also picked up Rivendell, Medieval Town Square and the endurance.
Oh wow that certainly is some haul. Rivendell is an amazing building experience, savour it🙂
@@TheDyslexicGeak Will do John
So I logged onto the Lego site at midnight, queued for a bit and was confronted with a very underwhelming selection of bits and bobs....the only good stuff was, like you say, from last weekend's Insider Weekend, do you feel the same?
Oh it was quite shocking, even by Lego's Black Friday sale standard, basically just clearing out stuff they cant sell. Argos had a much better sale. I don't know why Lego hype it up so much, its always a big let down after the Insiders Event
I got the family reunion restaurant and the Dragon of East Palace. Can't wait to build them!😊
Oh excellent buys, you managed to grab them just before they retire. The Family Reunion is a great set🙂
Nice pickups. I’ve got the big R2. Very nicely detailed set. Picked up the endurance today. Looking forward to that one.
Oh nice, glad you got the Endurance, it looked quite amazing in the display window🙂
@@TheDyslexicGeak yes it’s one I’m very excited about. Also got the captain America shield at half price. Mixed feelings on it. Build looks horrible but end result next to the Thor hammer might be nice. Will have to see if I build it or not. Half price was a good deal though
