As a fellow Jaws fan, i dont mind the size. Mainly because of the price. Its already 160 dollars 💀 thats expensive enough. And yes i am a diehard Jaws fan, ive been watching it since i was 6 (yet again im 16 but 10 years ive been watching) and im not disappointed at all.
the thing about the original ideas design isn’t that it was from a Jaws fan - its also from someone that isn’t designing to a parts budget - where Lego will.
I just double checked the price and it's 120 UK. The Hocus Pocus House and Snow White are larger, proportional and more expensive sets but they work for some reason. Idk why they just had to make Orca smaller
Yeah but as I said in the video whilst it's great we finally have a jaws set I am disappointed they changed the Orca build so much from the original design that was perfect. I never actually said not to get the set. Hell I'm even going to get 2.
As a big Jaws and Lego fan I’m very happy with the set. Lego ideas sets tend to be scaled differently, the old Lego back to the future DeLorean and ecto 1 are small and can’t fit in every character and detail in but that’s just how they are, and they did release massive versions of the cars later. As a small-ish set with good printed figures and a display feature I’m very happy.
Lol, thanks for your Jaws first watch experience story , lol. That was great! My parents weren't afraid to take me to horror movies when I was little , I don't remember seeing Jaws , but they told me they took me, but I do remember seeing Jaws 2 ! I was 7 years old. It was an amazing experience. And you have a pretty good Quient look in your video my friend.
Speak for yourself but as a massive Jaws set this is an absolute amazing set and not a disappointment at all! I think the orca looks fantastic, You were very caught up on the original design, LEGO typically makes design changes to make it a better streamline LEGO product, this typically includes having to fix original designs that may have been too delicate.
My father let my sister and I watch Jaws when I was 5 when it came out on HBO, that was definitely the 70’s parenting style. We had chicken that night and my sister and I were complaining that the chicken tasted like shark, 😂. My father just said eat your dinner. Then we went to the lake by our house later that summer and we were deathly afraid a shark was in there, again 😂. Definitely traumatic movie experience for us as children. But it’s one of my favorite movies to today. And I understand all of the things wrong with this set, but I am just so glad that they did give it the green light. I’m 50 now and they never made too many models or anything of the orca unfortunately. Why I’ll never know, it’s an instant seller with the huge cult following of this great film. Thank you for your honest opinion and great video!
The gap in the barrels I believe is there to show that all 5 barrels can fit on the Orca, and there is a 5th barrel included in the set (it’s on the other side of the stern in the water)
Yeah, I hear ya. It feels unfocused. The parts from both display bases should have gone to the Orca. The shark looks great as a shark but it's not Bruce. That's my own biggest problem with the set. Bruce is one of my favorite movie monsters and they switched him out for the stock footage version. The previous shark from the creator line looks way more like Bruce.
I’m glad someone else shares my opinion about the set. Bruce’s gill area looks too puffy, the fins are all cartoonish and overall he looks less intimidating than the shark from aqua raiders. I’m REALLY on the fence about weather or not I’d like to make a purchase, cause while I’d love to have a Lego Jaws diorama to go alongside my MOC of The Inferno ship from the Goonies and the Ghostbusters firehouse, I can’t bring myself to like the official set over the ideas set. Maybe somewhere down the line there will be online instructions showing how to either improve the official set or to straight up make the ideas set. The ladder I (and possibly all of us Jaws fans) would really like. The main upgrades I’d do is; provide a brickarms M1 Gurand and hair piece for Quint, a grey or blue sweater and hat less hair piece for Hooper, a black torso and brickarms revolver for Brody, make Bruce smaller and the Orca better.
I think the size comes from the fact that the shark’s front side is so large that making it it’s actual scale compared to the orca would make it either look much smaller or disproportionate. I think the shark itself in its full form is meant to be displayed on its own. If you’re gonna display it with the ship then it becomes more proportional, which honestly is how I’m going to display it.
If I buy this set, I’m scrapping the sharks for pieces and using a standard classic LEGO shark. Also I find it ironic that LEGO dipoles sets involving violent or mature themed franchises, yet they’ve been so desperate to gouge us AFOLS for money that they’ll basically make sets out of any franchise now. What’s next, Jason Vorhees Cabin set? An Elm Street diaroma set? Freaking Xenomorph Vs Marines battle packs? 😂
I felt like I was the only one yelling about the redesign of the shark. Bruce's fin is ICONIC and the original design pretty much had it down correctly. The redesign cut the top of it right off. Why?? They moved the eyes back which gives it a goofy look and made the whole thing much thinner. We all know Bruce's belly was quite full! I'll probably still get this set but I will be fixing the shark for sure. The Orca...I don't even know where to start.
I sorta agree with your thoughts as a huge jaws fan, the orca being a bit of a disappointment. My biggest. Disappointment here is the 3rd window being so small, and the orca itself being small.
I wish they would have designed the orca the same as bruce so that i can remove quincys legs and display it reenacting that scene, but still a good set. Also the anti communist guy being a die hard jaws fan is funny as hell for some reason
One of my biggest concerns is that there won’t be an undercarriage area (I don’t know what the actual term is called) under the bridge. It looks like there may be space for one, or at least space to create one.
@@OCGangsta I’ll probably just MOC the whole thing up. Make some more interior space. Other than that, I really don’t mind the scale. At surface level it looks proportionally accurate, and it kinda emphasizes the “Need a Bigger Boat.” It’s just a little too narrow.
I think I’m going to buy it but mod it myself so it’s more minifig scale. Also I agree that the shark looks too real if that makes sense😅 I’ll probably change the shark too so it looks more like the shark animatronic and not an irl great white.
I love the the orca build but bruce could have been better what throws it off is the head bruce had a more rounded jaw and i feel like the original design had it correct the ideas version has a very pointed head which i think they were trying to mimic the shark on the cover for the movie
Jaws fans get Jaws set and are disapointed lol, I have been waiting for WW2 sets since I was 6 yo about 40 years ago and I probably won't see them in my lifetime. So yeah appreciate what you got Jaws fellas, at least you got something.
The original jaws that he made is great! It acfually looks like bruce. The official one just looks like a generic shark. The creation shark looks better!
I 100% agree. They’re willing to making a garbage Hocus Pocus set that is relatively bigger than this, and I find it severely unfair. The Orca should’ve been much larger
It would be really something if Lego made it so you could, I don't know, modify their sets with relative ease. Especially, as you stated, you'd be willing to pay more. Or maybe, and I know this will sound crazy... but design and build one that suits your own needs. Lego makes these sets to sell, not to please a small percentage of a fandom.
That’s what I did with the hocus pocus set. I extended the back and made a film accurate staircase and added wood effect tiles to the floor. It is a very impressive set but I just tweaked it slightly to make it even better.
First of all , get the lego set Then look by look by the the page by the instructions for it and just use pieces and new pieyes. They got laying around. It's our rebuilding it the way you like it. So You're welcome america
you and I might spend 200-300 dollars but the average consumer won’t hopefully if this sells really well we will get more sets from jaws (what sets on the movie(s) do you think they should make?). I love jaws but it is an old movie and out of public interest and spotlight. It is not trending in tiktok or other social media. The movie is not re-releasing. And it is not an anniversary year for the movie. LEGO has the spread sheets and all the data they know what will sell and how much they can get away with in terms of price. Of course details are going to be lacking this is a LEGO set not a hunk of plastic from hasbro. Try being a Star Wars LEGO fan 😂 nothing is 100% accurate even the $700 UCS sets (do you really want me to go on about the inaccuracy of ucs sets?). At the end of the day it is product that needs to be sold and for a LEGO **product** in the diorama line this is perfect. Fair criticism and I think LEGO should provide instructions and parts list for the original design in the box as an extra. Welcome to LEGO
@@OCGangsta Yeeeeeah hahaha😁 Now you need some shark jaws on your wall too! This set it's Fantastic. I'm 46 years old now, with a full beard and moustach and remember seeing this film every morning of 1989 summer with the new VHS that my father toke home...by the way, i ❤ this set. ok sorry for my english! i'm from Barcelona and don't want to use translator for to practice.

To be honest, I don't care if the Orca was too small or too big. I think it's fine, but Bruce wasn't that great, but at least it's here.

I totally agree with you. Its a 6/10 for me. The ORCA is not accurate enough. It is too small!

Usually they don't make new molds for a set but I guess because this is a licensed theme they can get away with that detail.
