I know The Star Wars lego heads like boba fett and Stormtrooper always have missing pieces when I get them and I have to Go through my lego bin to find the pieces
At least with the Hulkbuster, this talented MOC designer RansomFern took only the pieces from the set & made it 100% movie accurate with more articulation while also keeping the gimmick of Iron Man fitting inside. Then they made the instructions available on Rebrickable. Now that’s a feat of engineering!
Lego needs to hire him. Like seriously, he was able to make the same exact build but make it 10 times better with the same piece. Lego is really missing out
Releasing Lego sets without trying to build them first? Man, they were getting a head start before the software development industry went full steam ahead on that.
I liked Grievous, both Vaders, Kylo Renn, and the tall robot. More complex ones, more pieces I liked... Was ruminating on Chewie, but a bit dear for what I'd get from it and I hadn't a need for the shells it provided.
I don't think the concept of action figures with swappable parts has ever worked. Just look at Hero Mashers, which barely lasted a couple years even with using IPs like Star Wars and Marvel.
Both Bionicle and Hero Factory worked because they were both Lego first types of Buildable Action Figures, not necessarily made for simply swapping bits from one to another, but being able to fully integrate with regular Lego pieces, whereas Galidor and Hero Mashers could only really swap pieces with one another. Both Hero Factory and Bionicle also meant that the figures could be modified, customized, made smaller or bigger, or even be created with regular spare Lego pieces to make entirely new, original, and different figures not sold in stores. I know technically Galidor pieces can be used with regular Lego as well, but they are so highly specialized and detailed, they just don't look much like Lego pieces at all, so aesthetically speaking, combining them with other Lego pieces looks ugly or strange.
Am I really the only one that likes the blocky car designs more? I find that there is some aesthetic lost when you go in to too much detail and use smooth bricks to cover up the studs in lego. I really loved my 90s lego cars that I owned. They were all blocky but that was part of the charm.
I agree! Sometimes I feel people want Revell-like models, but Lego. I also like the charm of the oldies. They also invite more to play with, instead of a display model.
I owned every Galidor figure, I loved those things as a kid... we actually did not know about the TV show until years later, it was just not on in our house.
One thing to appreciate the galidor set for, Even though it flopped, is that it made the way for bionicle, which proved to be a major success. Lego learnt from past mistakes.
Bionicle also succeeded b cool A it’s a really cool theme. B there was interesting and unique lore that came with the theme for hardcore fans to find. And C BIONICLE IS ONE OF THE BEST TOY LINES IN LEGO HISTORY and should never have been discontinued.
The Firstbourne dragon was fine. The Lloyd Brickhead was the problem since it looked like striped pajamas and they did not bring back the green eyes with the Lloyd movie brickhead. Also the lack of printing did not help.
The lack of minifigure is extremely random, which I feel is one of the main reasons it isn't viewed as highly. Otherwise it's just a generic late 80s/early 90s lego town single vehicle set
tbh, i had some galador sets when i was a kid, however, i must have been like 4 or 5. So I had a good time playing with it.. but looking back, I can understand why people didnt like it
I still remember when Galidor premiered on Latam Nick, the same night Yu-Gi-Oh did. They really buried it in their programming, I only saw that first episode and the last one.
Fun fact about the hulkbuster: someone actually made a replica of the age of ultron hulk hater and they look A LIKE, and it still fits the iron man lego set. So Lego was able to do exactly that but I guess not.
I have the Jyn Erso set in question and I quite like it. She's stood up on a shelf with Captain Phasma and K2SO. I also had the Deluxe Gorn figure as a kid, I'm pretty sure I got him on deep discount.
The ratcheted ball joint pieces that originated with various Galidor arm, leg and head pieces, carried over to other LEGO System and Constraction Figure themes after Galidor was discontinued (LEGO is never one to waste good ideas for special pieces), much like how the ratcheted hinge pieces and cockpits that originated with LEGO Star Wars and Rock Raiders carried over to other LEGO System themes starting in the year 2000...
I feel like when people say that a Lego set is “terrible”, it’s complete over exaggeration. They always say “this piece is too big! this piece is too small!” Etc. It feels more nit-picky than actual criticism. Not criticizing the video or anything, just Lego reviewers in general. If it looks enough like what the set is supposed to represent, who cares if one part is too oversized or undersized
I remember building a Ninjago set, I remember it was like a mech thing, but halfway through I realized the weapon for it wasn't included, not even an extra one. I was so disappointed, I couldn't finish the damn thing.
Those police cruisers were the backbone of the City of Abscissæ's fleet for well over a decade. They are now relegated to reserve status, but used for large events when more officers are needed. They aren't roomy--and they certainly aren't fast--but they serve a purpose!
That little police car is super nostalgic to me. The first lego set i actually remember being given was 6505, a small fire car with a fire man mini fig. Its super basic, but also so nostalgic for me.
There's a moc on rebrickable of the hulk buster using the exact same pieces from the official set and it is stunning and fits the action figure aswell.
Whoa I definitely had a couple of those Galidor happy meal toys. Never knew it was Lego, never knew it was called Galidor and certainly never knew it was a TV show
The Jyn Erso figure looks like a horrible mishmash of Bionicle and Galidor, somehow taking the worst of both worlds. Terrifying and impressive at the same time.
Man I remember having two of those Galidor toys from mcdonalds when I was a kid. I know i had the robot and i think i had the blue alien guy. But man that was a long time ago.
For context with Galidor. That series almost killed Lego as a company. They spent so much money to make it only for nobody to want it. (Custom injection plastic molds like Lego uses generally cost somewhere around $20K each. And with all those new, unique parts it's a lot of molds.) The only thing that saved the company was the invention of Bionicle. The earnings of which basically went into paying off all the losses from Galidor so Lego could break even.
Omg my dad got me a bucket of legos he bought at a garage sale in 2005 and I always wondered where that weird red creature I got was from! This video answered my question almost 20 years later, Galidor!
Oh my god, i had that nick mcdonalds galidor figure as a kid and i never knew where it was from, glad to know it was official lego. I wonder if i still have it tho 🤔
I remember Galdor. I had a few sets of those when I was a kid. I had Nick, the main villain and the red alien thing. I would have them all be villains when I would have them fight my Lego Knights. Those Lego Knight figures that were pretty badass
When I was a kid I had a friend who had a bunch of the Galidor sets. He always called them Legos but I assumed they weren't Lego at all and he just called them that because you could take them apart and put them back together.
Bit of a tangent on lego car recreations, I hadn't touched a lego set in over a decade then while on a bit of a vacation I went to an aquarium that exited through a lego store. Saw the Back to the Future DeLorean, and kind of had to have it (One of my all time favorite movies). Looks super cool and can be adjusted to whichever film version you want. Only down side is the front wheels don't turn left or right.
Even if Galidor looks alien compared to Lego, my parents got me a lot of those figures and I still have them till today. I definitely was the kid that played with these more than Lego sometimes.
I've always thought those buildable figures were ugly AF, but I'm shocked to learn that they don't well well. LEGO keeps making new ones every year, so I figured they had to be reasonably popular.
the lego action figures flopped for 2 reasons. First these things weren't accurate enough to the source material so collectors didn't want em and second, as someone who got the kylo Ren action figure when younger, just thought it was frustrating to play with.
Oh I was only into Bionicle and I remember Calidor I had the black and red bug with really long legs, we never had the show in my country, but I got it as it was interesting and I used it as a monster against my GIJOEs rofl. Brings so much memories and I got that bug thing in 2000's
Despite Jen Urso, being such a cheap set on brick link, and no one really cares to get it somehow because it’s older and the popularity of Star Wars, there’s some people that are unaware of people not demanding for that sat and still put the price way, high or retail priced and it just shocks me I’m like no one will get that
Can you think of any other LEGO Sets that fans hate?
I know The Star Wars lego heads like boba fett and Stormtrooper always have missing pieces when I get them and I have to Go through my lego bin to find the pieces
2022 LEGO MARVEL HULKBUSTER THE WORST LEGO MARVEL SET 😡👎
Drives me crazy
First Order AT_ST...yikes
The liebherr lr 13000 just because of the unreasonable high price lol (atleast i wouldn't be suprised)

i think you meant "feat"
@andyavisand well, it depends how much engineering went into the feet of the figure.

But it's trash

Why am I suddenly thinking of Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing?
Those Star Wars buildable action figures were a bit wonky, but the General Grievous one was absolute awesome!
most of the buildable figures were good , the problem was more with the human faces . Vader or the range trooper are absolute beasts
I take it because he essentially is mostly robot to begin with, also obi aint that bad either.
the best ones were the ones with masks or cybernetics. K2SO, Jango, Cody, Vader...
I liked Grievous, both Vaders, Kylo Renn, and the tall robot. More complex ones, more pieces I liked... Was ruminating on Chewie, but a bit dear for what I'd get from it and I hadn't a need for the shells it provided.
100% i also remember a boba fett one that was really cool
That little Lego police car was one of my first sets as a kid. It wasn’t much but it will always hold a special place in my heart❤️
Aww 🥺❤️
The Obi Won Kenobi figure actually looks pretty good for a lego action figure.
It looks like they used Obi-Wan's design from the Clone Wars tv show, which is probably why is looks less jarring than the other figures.
@@shiethegalYeah that is why he looks better than Luke and Jyn.
I think the best part was that big 'ol cape!
No
Yes I have him and he rocks, he's been with me in a number of flats through the years!
I don't think the concept of action figures with swappable parts has ever worked. Just look at Hero Mashers, which barely lasted a couple years even with using IPs like Star Wars and Marvel.
Don't Bionicle count as "action figures with swappable parts"? They worked pretty well, though
@@ZandorDaysev hero factory worked great too tbh

@@ZandorDaysevnope, that and hero factory were more creative and versatile
I think op is talking about Galidor since it’s identical to hero mashers
It’s never worked
Since galidor used the same ratchet joints the the knights kingdom buildable figures had you could build some awesome mechs with some their limbs
I have been buying bulk and doing that for years.
The bellville line + bioncles, oh lord the terror
imagine if the hulkbuster set came with the lego iornman set. it would have been received so much better.
maybe
maybe but it also coulda been recieved worse bc of that
The only buildable figure that works, in my opinion, is the general grievous one
That dude's more mechanics than man, so of course the figure would look so much better!
I had the Darth Vader one and i remember really liking it. It was tall and prettry badass if you ignored the head, which was a little too big
@@lemaismarabou1920 k2so and the range trooper were really good
idk, I kinda like the look of some of the marvel, like spider man and captain america
@@itstrashboi4142 I get what you mean but I only meant the star wars technique figures

The 8880 Super Car is still proudly displayed in my old room back at my parents' place. I installed lights and all, it looked pretty snazzy.
"Things were better when they were worse."
I owned every Galidor figure, I loved those things as a kid... we actually did not know about the TV show until years later, it was just not on in our house.
I don't think that the Firstborne Dragon Brickhead looks all that bad.
Same! I think it's kinda cute.
I looked at firstborn in the show, then at the brickhead figure and realized it kinda sucked, but that's just my opinion.
One thing to appreciate the galidor set for, Even though it flopped, is that it made the way for bionicle, which proved to be a major success. Lego learnt from past mistakes.
Galidor was released after Bionicle.
Ye Bionicle came before galiodr, will say tho it. introduce the ratchet joints so still something!
2:22 BIONICLE is a constraction theme and it sold really well.
The difference there is that BIONICLE was designed to be semi-robotic, and built from mostly Technic pieces, so the builds "looked LEGO-y".
@@Bubben246but it was a constraction theme tho
Bionicle also succeeded b cool A it’s a really cool theme. B there was interesting and unique lore that came with the theme for hardcore fans to find. And C BIONICLE IS ONE OF THE BEST TOY LINES IN LEGO HISTORY and should never have been discontinued.

The police car one is underrated
The lack of minifigure is extremely random, which I feel is one of the main reasons it isn't viewed as highly. Otherwise it's just a generic late 80s/early 90s lego town single vehicle set
And let's not forget the headless first order atst, that set was a crime
Why didn’t they just make a regular one that could lose its head as a play feature ?
tbh, i had some galador sets when i was a kid, however, i must have been like 4 or 5. So I had a good time playing with it.. but looking back, I can understand why people didnt like it
Can’t let you hate on the dragon masters, those sets where pretty damn fun with some friends and the minifigs where absolutely Stellar!
I got one and the wings on it didn't stay on and it got stuck in a tree. In my opinion, the spinjitzu ones are better
For me it is the UCS Hogwarts Express. $500 for an oversized train with only one passenger car that doesn't even fit on the standard LEGO track!
7:41 is that just a straight-up crate? Nah I'm definitely copping that
I still remember when Galidor premiered on Latam Nick, the same night Yu-Gi-Oh did. They really buried it in their programming, I only saw that first episode and the last one.

I also had the Deluxe Gorn figure as a kid, I'm pretty sure I got him on deep discount.
7:53 He definitely can NOT read blue letters.
I was amazed at the lack of Jack Stone.

I still see the star wars figures from 2017 in stores
That underbite is cute as hell

That little police car is super nostalgic to me. The first lego set i actually remember being given was 6505, a small fire car with a fire man mini fig. Its super basic, but also so nostalgic for me.
I love that cute lil dragon
"Bluetooth" (Blåtand, in Danish) and Gorm was kings of Denmark 1100 years ago. "Bluetooth" was actually the son of Gorm.
I honestly think the Brickhead Dragon looks awesome
Nice vid dude! Ive been watching since the Volectro review!
There's a moc on rebrickable of the hulk buster using the exact same pieces from the official set and it is stunning and fits the action figure aswell.
That series isn't about lego with illegal building techniques, it's about mistakes in box and promotional art and the instructions
I feel like the Hulkbuster would have been a lot more well-received if, at the same price, it had come _with_ the Iron Man figure.
Dont give them ideas for better scamming
possibly but that coulda caused it to be recieved worse actually
5:43 HOLY CRAP THOSE WERE LEGO!? This unlocked a core memory I had that gorn black figure and Bluetooth. No O'Dea wtf they were or came from
Moral of the story: you can’t please the angry mob. People will always find something to start an outrage over.
I just came back to this channel and remembered subscribing at 11k wondering why you didn’t have more subscribers… wow
It's funny because I think the Star wars buildable figures are really cool, all the troopers, droids and sith look great
Whoa I definitely had a couple of those Galidor happy meal toys. Never knew it was Lego, never knew it was called Galidor and certainly never knew it was a TV show
Creepy music here 2:16

As a bionicle guy Erso has PHENOMENALLY good parts for moc making
The Ninjago brick heads looks really sick.
Okay, the Galidor thing unlocked a childhood memory because I had one of those toys and had no idea where it came from
The World Cup sets have a cracking sense of humour though
pls add another background music i was fr scared and it its 23:00 o´clock idk why but its really just scary
90’s Lego cars look like a kid’s drawing come to life and I love them :]
Also the fact that I can equip them with different types of parts of the Galidor character pieces Is awesome 🎉

I have two but as desk toys. Maybe it was marketed to the wrong demographic.
This brought back memories of the Lego Galidor videogame.
For me it was that big pirate ship...They removed the firing cannon but it was still written on the packaging. What a downer.
One man trash is another man treasure! I love love love the Hulkbuster!❤
Legend has it that when Nick Bluetooth lost his baby teeth, his parents wanted to rename him.

Oh I was only into Bionicle and I remember Calidor I had the black and red bug with really long legs, we never had the show in my country, but I got it as it was interesting and I used it as a monster against my GIJOEs rofl. Brings so much memories and I got that bug thing in 2000's
They named Nick's sidekick after a prescription medication???
Don't think it counts as a "set" per say, however I definitely know that Mr. Gold is the most hated minifigure of all time, and understandably so 😂
Despite Jen Urso, being such a cheap set on brick link, and no one really cares to get it somehow because it’s older and the popularity of Star Wars, there’s some people that are unaware of people not demanding for that sat and still put the price way, high or retail priced and it just shocks me I’m like no one will get that
6:03 basically the only thing that Galidor actually has that is not bad
