"Too repetitive," "too tan" - you guys know this is based on AN ACTUAL BUILDING, right? You can't just make some of it hot pink, and add a bunch of wheels and glass windows.
@@childishgambino7018 they aren’t giving reasons why the set should be different they’re giving reasons why they don’t want to buy it and they are perfectly reasonable criticisms in that regard
@@noahdiluca9857 And while they are valuable points of criticism for a practical Lego set, the real Colosseum is such a notorious piece of architecture that Lego probably felt obligated to make it.
Loved Lego as a child and now as a 30 year old adult I recently bought a small set and I noticed one important thing is that it really takes you out of our digital lives and zones you out to just use your mind to do problem solving skills and also the enjoyment/accomplishment of building something. Love it haha
I love still being a kid and getting excited when I get a new lego set, it makes me truly sad to think that one day I may not have any of these sets anymore, but I’m happy to have em
lol i used to not even know how special legos were i always took them apart and ruined the set and built some crazy shit with the bricks hahaha, now i just chill smoke some 🌲 and build legos for fun
I am building this now. I very much enjoy the quiet solitude of the build. I only do 3-4 bags at a time, then take a break. So it takes me a week to build the whole thing. Which is fine, I’m in no rush. In fact, I get depressed when finished, because I have nothing left to build.
Ryan is an immature child who never grew up. He has never had to earn or work for all the things he has, so the concept of throwing a set many people could only dream of having off a roof just says it all. He will grow up one day, perhaps. But I’m not confident. Solid Brix and Jang are far more mature and interesting content producers.
The use of negative space in this lego set is absolutely brilliant. That's all i have to say. I cant afford it and i probably wouldn't buy it if i did, but MAN is that a well designed set.
This and the Titanic set are the ultimate Lego flex. If you have one of these, perfectly assembled, sitting on a dedicated pedestal table in your living room or office, you’re officially an intellectual.
Price to piece ratio is far better than any other big set... so I have to admit this is a good price. And it looks amazing. My only complaint is that they had a golden opportunity to use mini figs for the statues in some of the remaining windows.
It'd be cool if it included a Maximus minifigure. Also is it minifigure scale because I'm thinking of getting it and restoring it for a gladiator moc if it is. I hope lego do more stuff like this because a set of the sphinx and pyramids of Giza would be awesome
I am building it right now. One sitting? Yikes, no way. It is repetitive BUT anything worthwhile is. I have noticed that any big structure is going to be repetitive. Most of my skyscraper mocs are. Totally loving the set. Looks amazing even though I am not done with it.
I think this set is phenomenal. I actually completed this set at 12 years old, this was a very challenging set for me but the end result is fantastic. This is one of my most favorite sets because of the details and the size of it.
Nice to see someone actually take pride, care and joy of this set. Main reason I'm always enjoying your content, you are mature and act like an adult who generally enjoys building.
I think the big difference between this and the millennium falcon is the love and passion put into the build. Everyone is obsessed with this because it’s big, while the Star Wars build is about detail and love for the movies
For the lego fans sure. But the architectural and classical civilisation fans love this for the detail and their love for the original structure. (it's just about what stuff you're interested in)
Pfff DPD screwed up my order and it was send back to Lego. Now i have to wait till 22nd if Januari when it is back in stock .. lego apparently also lost it 😢
Great video, but one thing that I cannot comment on is the fact that you have the CW black series Ashoka Tano and the Death Watch Mandalorian and one other figure (hard to figure out who it is with the emporers shuttle in the way 😂). That is so cool, as a Black Series collector, I have been searching for those figures and I haven't found them yet because the distribution of them is so awful and uneven and the scalpers are selling them for so much (4x the price in some cases 😥). I just wanted to point that out, because that's all I was watching the whole video, great video David I remember when you were Legoboy123456789 back in the day 😂 Damn, anyway, have a wonderful day
I feel like if I get this then I won't want to buy any other lego buildings, unless they were on a large scale like this. The Lego Taj Mahal would be awesome at this scale
You can get one on eBay right now for about an extra 100$. That’s what i did and bro it’s worth it. It’s a cool piece. It’s repetitive but each section is unique so it’s never the same
Not related to the build - which looks beautiful; however, what mic are you using? I'm interested in getting one and the sound and clarity of your mic is great.
That would be a fairly hefty investment. Lego might keep this around for years. However, once it does go I can’t see them doing it again so if you’re happy to play the *very long* game, and you’ve got the money, then it may just be worth it. At the end of the day, let’s say you spend $550 now on it. All you’ve done is convert liquid cash into an asset. If you turn around and sell it for retail or just $600, you’ll have made your money back anyway. I can’t see you losing regardless of what happens, it’s more a case of whether it’s truly going to pay off to make it worth spending. Me, personally, I go for quantity with some of the lower Star Wars sets. The appreciation on a £12 battle pack leads to a better result. But that’s just me!
i don't think its worth 500$, if they made it into a Replica of how it used to be with working Trapdoors/ underground area. it would have been worth 500$

This set simultaneously looks huge and tiny. It's just something about those arch pieces...
I agree completely
Yup
Same here! It is a wierd illusion lol.
Cud u know the arch prices are small 4 studs but it’s big because there are so many

lol i used to not even know how special legos were i always took them apart and ruined the set and built some crazy shit with the bricks hahaha, now i just chill smoke some 🌲 and build legos for fun
Me thinking yes then remembering that equals to $700+ canadian lol
haven’t seen you in a while
in new zealand this is 870 dollars
Prices in USD and CAD used to be real close the gap keeps widening
@@EricGallant24 thankfully the gap is starting to go back down a bit. it's down 6 cents within a year, so legos about to be a bit cheaper!
pain
Yes the enjoyment of the build is a factor for buying it. But mostly for how it looks is why you would be buying it. So I totally agree with you
I am building this now. I very much enjoy the quiet solitude of the build. I only do 3-4 bags at a time, then take a break. So it takes me a week to build the whole thing. Which is fine, I’m in no rush. In fact, I get depressed when finished, because I have nothing left to build.
I regret not buying this when it was available!
Can’t believe Ryan threw this from his roof

Thats a great idea! But the reason lego didnt do that is because this lego set isnt minifig scale, if it was it would be gigantic
Having visited the real one , it's quite incredible how accurate this model is !
Me: "this is cool, I can't afford it, but one day.."
Something deep down: "get two sets and build a restored colosseum"
It also looks like it has some pretty nice pieces to reuse although i don't think i could bring myself to take it appart lol
I really enjoyed this format of vid, very cool to hear your thoughts
Man i live in Roma and this is beatiful and really accurate😍
I really enjoy this quick review type of videos
Please do more !
It'd be cool if it included a Maximus minifigure. Also is it minifigure scale because I'm thinking of getting it and restoring it for a gladiator moc if it is.
I hope lego do more stuff like this because a set of the sphinx and pyramids of Giza would be awesome

How tf did ur parents agree to buy this
@@eatingyourpizza9260 lol
If you add Russel Crowe “Gladiator” and Tigris of Gaul minifigs, then, yes, it would be worth it! 😝

I’ve seen people say that this set sucks to build. I believe you more than them though. I’m going to buy it soon!
$10.00 more dollars and you could see it in person! 😂
“Too repetitive”
Me wishing I could make it every day : 😐
Repetitive: Yes
Worth it: Definitely
I'm getting this for my 16th birthday and i couldn't be happier.
I just got socks
When I built it I have to say I DIDN'T find it repetitive at all! It was just fun and absorbing
Glad I could be able to be a part of this milestone. Thanks for the great content! =)
Thanks David - I was on the fence about getting it. Probably will now.
This is a really good video!
This is awesome but I hope the next ucs set is minifig scale like the mos eisley cantina which is one of the coolest sets ever
He said the build time felt less than the millennium falcon. But I could see that he had help building the Colosseum I’m guessing from his wife.
I think the big difference between this and the millennium falcon is the love and passion put into the build. Everyone is obsessed with this because it’s big, while the Star Wars build is about detail and love for the movies

I just bought this set and I'm very excited. Awesome video!
I can’t wait for the next room tour video! Looks amazing!
I really want to see a size comparison between this and the 2017 falcon as I can’t find a comparison anywhere.
13 hours and 20 minutes well that’s better then the world record!
You need to explain in more detail why it is not repeative but enjoyable.
If it had the option to make the complete undamaged version as well then yes it would.
I think this set could be used to make the docking bay on tattooine where the millennium falcon was stored and maybe jabbas palace
I do not like that for dox number 4, they wrote it as IIII.
Because it's historically accurate
@@lordpete but isn’t it IV
@@Kodaiva No the way lego has it numbered was how it was in the coliseum time, it was before the romans adopted that way
Now I am thinking about getting one for my new swat helicopter and LEGO swat team
I'll pick this up if it goes on sale
The LEGO COLOSSEUM looks so STUNNING and BEAUTIFUL!!! :) (Due to its 9036 Piece Count, I think it's worth the $550! ;)
I have built it and my only problem is when you are building the base the flat pieces underneath always pop off for me
that tie fighter looks pretty cool next to the coliseun
Pfff DPD screwed up my order and it was send back to Lego. Now i have to wait till 22nd if Januari when it is back in stock .. lego apparently also lost it 😢
You should review some of the brickvault builds. I think it would be super interesting to see what you think of them.
I like the non-Star Wars reviews. This style works too, especially for this giant set.
You shouted me out in your livestream :D
Nice vid... ngl I think those new shelves are really drawing my attention.
Does anyone know what the stand he uses for the Tie fighter is from it looks like a 3rd party piece but I'd be interested in finding out what it is
Could be custom made but wicked bricks in the UK sell stands like that.

Pass!
Are we going to get a shelf video coming out soon ?
Really enjoyed this
Nice new review format! I love it ☺️. But I’m still concerned about the repetitiveness of this build...
Man if I had money I'd for sure get it.
It is a shame that they didn’t find a way to include the famous gladiator lift
hey, when can we expect this set to be restocked and how often would lego ususally take to restock their sets?
You can get one on eBay right now for about an extra 100$. That’s what i did and bro it’s worth it. It’s a cool piece. It’s repetitive but each section is unique so it’s never the same

I like this type of video I would like to see one like this again
I’m surprise how you finish the set in one setting. I’m on year 3 😭
I do wish they would've given us the option to build the complete Colosseum the way it was in its prime, and not just as the ruin it is today...
Mine's still in the shipping box in the basement since I got it just like most of my toys and I don't think I'll have the time for it anyway.
Can you send it to me then? Thank you. :)
What shelving is that in the background? Where can I get it at? Thanks
Great show by the way. I plan to buy.
Questions regarding your shelves in the background. Did you custom make those or did you buy as a kit. Thank you.
Not related to the build - which looks beautiful; however, what mic are you using? I'm interested in getting one and the sound and clarity of your mic is great.
@Gregor Barclay makes the best argument ever, PERIOD
Petition for a drop test, yeet it of the roof
As a person who loves legos, yes
I’m 10 years old and I’m Building the Lego Colosseum and I would say it really is worth it
Is there a nano fig version of diavolo????
I think is something in this world for everyone .
A 6 min review on the biggest LEGO set lol
Are you saying the vids to long or to short?
Short
Tbh Ryan’s colosseum is much more beautiful...
No way this is worth that kind of money... Shoulda had 10 minifigs thrown in to display with it in Roman garb.
6c/piece and its still too much for you guys?
I’m 12 am I built it in 6 days
Do another Star wars moc.Maybe Kamino.
I wanna buy it so bad but you know I don’t got that cash but if I won a mr beast challenge it would be the first purchase.
Would it be worthwhile to invest in this set and let it sit closed in the box for a couple of years?
That would be a fairly hefty investment. Lego might keep this around for years. However, once it does go I can’t see them doing it again so if you’re happy to play the *very long* game, and you’ve got the money, then it may just be worth it.

It looks so big compared to David standing behind it
This should be a Latin class project
Its $750 in Australia.
Or like 15 501st battlepacks
Or both😏
Yay tan is great the Master Builder Cantina is all tan and dark tan and no one complained about the cantina
i don't think its worth 500$, if they made it into a Replica of how it used to be with working Trapdoors/ underground area. it would have been worth 500$
