    Everyone is complaining about the use of Technic, but I love it. Technic represents mechanical stuff in the LEGO world.

    • @CrazyChemistPL
      @CrazyChemistPL 11 месяцев назад +8

      Agreed. To me it felt like classic Technic sets, the ones from the mid-late 90s, they still used a lot of System techniques and studded Technic beams to create a, mostly System compatibile, skeletal frame of the model and filled the interior with various mechanisms, with the intention being that you could see them in action. I much prefer this kind of approach than the current with almost full panel/fairing coverage. I really felt like building on of these classic sets when building the ornithopter, the only part that was overly mundane was building the wing roots, 8 very similar assemblies and then later building the wing connectors, yet another series of 8 subassemblies, but in the grand scope of things, it was a really only a tiny part of the overall experience. The instructions actually do quite a good job, alternating between System and Technic-based builds, to keep you engaged and interested throughout the entire process.

      No, technic represents bionycle and other sets which are not really lego as the parts are super specialized.

    Having just built it yesterday, the amount of engineering and gimmicks going into this build was mind-blowing. Having built hundreds of model kits in my life, this is hands down one of the most fun builds I've ever done.
    The decision to focus on the gimmicks and not the internal is, imo, a right one. The fact that you can hold the whole thing by its tail and press on the trigger to flap the wings or to collapse/expand them are just amazing. And that moving landing gears - icing on the cake.
    I was eating good and I am happy. 10/10. Worthy of Lisan al Gaib!

    The technicity of the building techniques were really refreshing. It's actually my first lego set for years and the first as an adult. I love the mixing of technique parts with regular parts. I built a lot of techniques sets during my childhood (10+ years ago) and I don't remember having so much fun with the mechanisms !

    • @JimmyCrohnsWanker
      @JimmyCrohnsWanker 3 месяца назад

      I'm in the same boat as you, couldn't believe the complexity of the Technic stuff and how it was all crammed inside the body. And the final steps of the build were exhilarating. The last set I built was an amazing Technic pneumatic digger 8862 about 25 years ago, and I had the same feelings building this one. I'm addicted again, RIP my wallet.

    It is a complex Technic build... that doesn't use a single cog. And honestly, I really don't see them cheapening out on the looks, I think this is more of a matter of chosen aesthetic with many studs and Technic beam remaining visible.
    And in terms of mechanical complexity, it has nothing on the Airbus helicopter you mentioned, that one is a nightmare of gearboxes and linkages that you have no idea how they work. Took me 5 days to build that one.

    It’s the perfect combination for me! I like technic sets, but always feel let down by their finished appearance- especially with the expensive car sets like the Sian or the Bugatti. And equally am always disappointed by system builds where they prioritise looks over the durability of a set- I’ve modded a lot on my UCS ATAT to be more secure rather have pieces that will drop off at the slightest touch.
    This set to me is like the Classic Land Rover Defender set- a good marriage of both technic and system construction to make something that looks good and has some function!

    • @JimmyCrohnsWanker
      @JimmyCrohnsWanker 3 месяца назад

      Use gravity to help flap the wings more, it doesn't work if the ship is pointing up, it needs to be level. And if you get a rhythm up, the wings start flapping much better. Think of it like bouncing a basketball higher and higher, you need to get the right rhythm. The back wings naturally flap a bit less due to the mechanism.
      About the landing gear, maybe you made a mistake in the build? Mine deploys perfectly both the back end dropping and the front legs coming out laterally, and they lock into place to support the ship. The engineering behind this set i actually mental.

    I wish Lego made sand color base plates. I suppose they do make plates in that color so I might get some of those to display this set eventually. I think it looks better with the wings closed when it's displayed, but then you open the wings and it becomes an amazing thing to play with.

    Since I'm mostly interested in it for display, the functionality doesn't excite me that much. Although I absolutely respect what the designer has done - seriously impressive functionality! This will, however, give me a starting point to try and alter the aesthetics. I completely re-built the Hulk-buster to fix those issues and had a blast doing it (My own - not Ransom Fern's version). So I'm hoping it will be fun to re-work this one. Meanwhile, it's exciting to have a Dune product from Lego!

    Harkonnen looks rly good, just like in movie, only in black and since he is bald he has one face. But seriously this ornicopter looks epic, doesnt matter he doesnt have interior, it was just empty seats anyway. That movement and make it great for kids to play, and you can put it on display i like personally how it looks and im a pirate fan mostly (if you like its easy to close off some gaps as its just gray bricks to add). Also i do find the new Dune inferior to old movies (and im not a big fan) but ornicopter looks cool :).

    110% would not have bought the set if the mech was removed and an "accurate" interior was added. Couldnt care less.
    Not sure if I would have bought the set if the landing gear or the wing folding mech was removed. But having both of those together, and the flapping as cherry on top. Sold.
    Now I'll be waiting another 20 years for a set as impressive as this.

But I'll be curious to see if a compromise can be found without resorting to building a completely separate MOC.
