No joke, I’m trying my hardest to make a personal RX-78 GUNDAM made of LEGO. To see this, INSPIRES me to continue! It’s oddly impressive, even though it’s a bootleg…
Are you coming up with ypur own design? I've seen MOCs of the RX-78 before, so there are likely instructions out their for purchase/use. Plus Mega Bloks made official Gundam kits a while back-RX-78, Zeta, and Zaku, but they may have had custom Mega-brand only parts.
So massive props to Ransom Fern for a great design (MOC is Lego nerd for 'My Own Creation,' a terminology coined by the company for their fan designs which they occasionally produce as kits); his work is original and non-infringing fair use (and also a really cool design). The same cannot be said of whatever 'company' produced and sold this kit, which was, based on the inclusion of the printed Batman minifig, produced in a 'ghost hours' factory. This is when a factory that already produces a product (in this case, licensed Lego pieces) normally, but then also runs additional hours off the books; thus producing the same product, but selling it illegally (for massively reduced prices).
@@ZETA14.88 Yes, Fair Use is an affirmative defense, and must be argued in court in order to be affirmed (hence the term, affirmative defense), however Ransom Fern's use of the copyrighted design of the Gundam Barbatos in his artistic piece (the MOC in question) is one that is in keeping with cases that have successfully used fair use as a defense against suit; thus setting legal precedent that is very likely to be overturned for this case.
stupid question. if its a ghost factory... and they use the same lego molds.. how to they remove the little lego text on the studs? just curious about the whole process not questioning if your right or wrong.
@@SenketsuFi NGL, I have no idea. I know the policy, not the specific process. I'm not even sure what modern tooling for Lego-style bricks is like, I'd imagine there are more economic ways than the 70s-style injection molding I'm familiar with.
Temu feels like such an obvious scam. It's ads are so aggressive. It's like that one guy who keeps repeating on how nice they are, but if you have to keep telling it you ain't nice.
The “white ninja band” on Batman is actually pretty standard for official LEGO minifigures of the character. The cowl piece LEGO produces has the eye holes molded above the standard minifigure eyeline, probably because it looks the most proportional. To compensate, LEGO prints a white headband just above the eyeline of the minifigure head so as to fill in the eye holes.
To anyone interested in the company that sponsored the video, be very careful and read the fine print, the gauntlet in total will cost you over 1k USD to finish and you are subscribed to them as soon as you make your first 0.99$ purchase. I can't comment on the quality of the item but I would not recommend a company that hides the true price of their item.
Official lego bags are completely like that! Every small bag within bag 1 is just to separate the small bits from the big bits. When u open bag one you open every bag within bag one, thats pretty standard for lego kits of any size
they aren't labelled tho, and it's not every piece like it was here. So confusion is to be expected, official lego would done like every limb in its own bag or smt
@@JJTheDev but the bags were labelled, as bag 1 and bag 2. The small bags within were not, and also wouldn’t be with lego. When you open bag 1, you open every bag inside bag one.
@@Snarfyy they were labelled number-number, like 1-1, 1-2, etc. which is just confusing, mecha showed that when discussing the bags, and as you would see, no pieces are in the bags 1 or 2 that aren't in a sub bag, which is just a waste too (and not like standard Lego stuff)
i liked at 9:38 when you start building, the song in the background has a small sound like "pitching" which with the radioactive point of view from the camera it remind of the rads from fallout games
Originally, lego parts were all over the place in non labeled bags and you have to dig through a ton of pieces to find what you want when you needed it. Kids these days have it easy (except for prices, RIP).
I remember doing that a lot as a kid! Just dumping all the pieces into a big pile, then spending most of your time hunting for the ones you need. I always thought it was kind of fun, and encouraged you to do some knolling to make everything easier to find. But, of course, having LEGO organize everything for you is much nicer for people that don't have as much time to build sets. And you don't have to dump all 5,000 pieces out at the same time for the really massive sets. Also, LEGO hasn't really gotten much more expensive. Their original themes still follow fairly closely to the 10 cents per piece rule, and licensed ones are usually more like 13 cents per piece, since Disney or whoever takes a cut of those. The individual set prices may seem higher, but that's because they are much bigger than they used to be, so they have more parts. And they usually include more minifigs than they used to, with are way more expensive than basic parts. For example: The Deep freeze Defender, the biggest set from 1993's Ice Planet theme only had 399 parts and 3 minifigs. It originally cost $45, which is slightly more than 10 cents per piece. Meanwhile, a modern set like the Ninjago City Markets has 6,163 parts, and 21 minifigs. It costs $370. Which seems like a lot, but is actually about half the per part cost of the Deep Freeze Defender. And that's not even considering inflation. Though , I do wish they still made more smaller sets like they used to. Those quick builds are usually my favorites.
And the steps didn’t show you what pieces were in each step. You had to have an observant eye on each step and identify what pieces have been added from step to step. I don’t know if kids today would even have enough patients to build the old way. They don’t know how overly simplistic that Lego has made building a set up today.
@@willisjackson7029 I remembered back then the instruction is only for one built only, there are alternatives build that you only figure out by the cover pictures on the box alone
I bough a technic car off of temu for like $25 that seems to be an original kit. From its size and part count it probably would’ve been priced around $200-$300 from official lego. And other than random part bags, and some slightly sloppy tolerances. It truly was an incredibly enjoyable build!
Of course it's a Ransom Fern design, it looks amazing (other than the shitty plastic and stickers from it being a bootleg). I highly recommend checking out his builds, as they're absolutely astounding. Especially his Optimus and hulkbuster ones.
I recently ordered some 3rd party MG accessories, one being the zaku anti-ship rifle (origin) for the mg 2.0, and the other being the quantum cores weapon pack. I think it would be a cool video idea to check out some 3rd party accessories.
they probably make ends meet by not spending any money at all on in-house designers, or properly licensing the ip's for their builds. just cloning other people's work instead.
@@aegisalttt First off, I'm not your "bro". Secondly, I'm sorry if my comment was too complicated for you. Try not to worry about it and work on your comprehension skills instead.
Looks like people are finally finding these Lego gundams. There are 2 more Barbatos in temu. One with his mace and the other being somewhat reddish that can turn into a plane too. Also 2 more lego gundams from mobile suit gundam 00 Exia and Kyrios. Also in temu. In Ali Express they have lego gundams but its just a big head with a bit of the shoulder you build.
Pro tip: it’s actually better to mow your lawn when the sun is going down. You’ll feel more comfortable mowing and your grass is less likely to burn. Win win.
That’s what you had to do in the past say 20-30 and beyond. There was no numbered bags only separated pieces mixed with 2-4 types of pieces in each bag and you had to separate them yourself. And the instructions didn’t show you what pieces you needed for each step, you had to have an observant eye on each step and identify what pieces have been added into each step. I don’t think that kids today would even have enough patients to build the kits that Lego is putting out today. The Lego kits of today the instructions are overly simplistic, where before when I was a kid you had to search for the correct pieces and parts. It challenged the mind more to be more observant of your surroundings and what you are doing.
Well can you make a video about 30MS Neverlia pls, you can combine Neverlia + Spinatio Reaper type to make a succubus. It is really good, so I hope you make it.
You reviewed one of the action figures, but you should also take a look at Motor Nuclear's model kits. Specifically Ao Bing or maybe the upcoming Bai Qi. They're really awesome third party kits!
I actaully got into Gunpla because I collect Lego mechs. Specifically, 70676, Lloyd's Titan Mech. With a lot of these Chinese Lego knockoffs - they make the parts themselves, then rip other peoples' designs from sites like Bricklink. The problem is that these designs are often very complex, in a way that's just not compatible with the low quality of Chinese knockoff pieces.
If im not mistaken, there was an official lego gundam produced by Mega Bloks, it started from 2007 to 2009. This happened probably because Bandai had some relationship with Mattel where Bandai would distribute Mattel toys in japan.
Having built a Lego kit within the last month, honestly those stickers don’t look too far from par. Real lego also has lots of stickers with few printed pieces except on really expensive kits, and they also aren’t fitted edge to edge on the surface they go on
I was into Lego before coming slowly to building Gunpla, because I was fascinated by modellers airbrushing their kits. Then I gave a try to IBO, fell in love with it, and ordered my 1st kit, MG Barbatos. Never stopped building Gunpla since. I still buy and build one or two Lego sets a year, when they release one I really like (today I have a huge collection of Star wars Lego sets). By the way, I'm glad to watch you build a brick built set (I won't, can't write Lego), am not surprised by a bootleg brand that steals MOCers designs, it's a real plague in the Lego creation world. A shame. But I think the final result, as a mecha (not an X-wing flying thing) is quite good.
Don't know if it's been said yet, but be careful with the grey hip friction joints, as on mine, they were smaller then the hip sockets and have already showed stress marks. It still holds together fine, but it is something to be aeare of
not Lego but Bandai did a collab with Mega Bloks and made brick build figure of the RX-78-2 and the Zaku II during the celebration of Gundam's 30th anniversary and those things are super rare as f.
In temrs of building blocks themselves, Lego wasn't the first IMHO, it's difficult to speak about Lego botlegs when Lego wasn't the first company to make building blocks in this particular fashion, using this logic Lego is just a Kiddicraft bootleg, which in turn repurposed Build-O-Brik's for a different material (from rubber to plastic). DIfferent companies found various niches for the same tech.
This is in no way connected. We get you're trying to sound smart, but its not that important. Also, considering Lego bought Kiddicraft over 40 years ago, does it actually matter?
@@paulheap1982 To best of my memory Gaikotsu mentioned something on the lines of lego bootleg, which is often used to refer to other companies dealing in building blocks, my comment was on topic. One company managed to get a fandom that weaponised itself and which loves to degrade other companies in the field (I'm tired of this attitude). To put this in perspective, it's as if Revell or Tamiya garnered a following similar to the one of Lego's and their fans started to attack, for example, Trumpeter because they dare to produce model kits that are not Revell's or Tamiya's. Lego failed numerous times to put the entire building blocks technology (on top of that, as I already wrote, they're not the originators of the technology) under copyright jail. If I'm trying to sound smart, then you're trying to be edgy by attacking someone with a different view on the matter.
back in the day, Lego didn't really organize their parts in the bags so you basically always had to just open every bag- so I suppose I wouldn't have a particularly hellish time making this
I actually buy quite a few things from here. The things that are priced as they should be are genuine, like the 300$ Nintendo. I bought a model kit my Infinite Dimension from them, and what do you know, I got the kit that I was expecting, and it’s actually a good model kit, they are a good 3rd party company. But anyways, a lot of shit is sketch, but for the most part, they are fine. Better than wish, that’s for damn sure
I'm making my own lego barbatos moc and damn... I'm gonna buy this one just because I need the armor plates of this build, my skeleton is already so good to pose and move around that feels bad not having a good armor
Dude with Fan Home's infinity gauntlet they should partner with bandai to do the same thing but with a specific Gundam. I would love to build something up like that.
I still want to build this monstrosity. I hate to say but a local toy store sells these bootleg things (theybactually had a bootleg sinanju at one point) amd despite how frustrating they are to build i end up being pleased with myself for over coming the challenge
I just got it out from storage. The shit was kicked out of it in transit but it’s still holding up well. Biggest complaint would be that if I pick it up by the torso the legs and core fighter tend to fall off
I was going to get this but your video has informed me. It does look impressive however. I have built the Sluban models ,and they are just fine instruction wise and bag numbers. I plan to glue them together except for the joints.
Mecha, you are clearly too young to remember the true "old school" way of Lego, when you only got a single bag, containing all 50-200 pieces of the set. Those were the good days. They made it too easy, because kids nowadays can't be bothered to search for a piece for minutes, only to realize that they were holding it all along.
@@MechaGaikotsu I believe that what he is saying is 20-30+ years ago and beyond Lego didn’t number the bags for each step. They would have bags with 2-4 types of pieces in each of the bags and you would have to separate the pieces yourself and then the instructions didn’t show you the little box with what pieces you were needing for each step. You had to have an observant eye on each step and identify what pieces have been added to each step. Lego has over simplified the separation and instructions on how to build their kits. It doesn’t challenge the mind like it did when I was a kid. Children today wouldn’t have the patients to build today’s kits if the instructions were done the old way and the bags were not numbered like they are now.
I bought a different (but very similar) one from aliexpress. Its pretty damn good for the most part. The version i have didn't have any stickers...everything was painted on very nicely. It's a little wobbly on it's feet but i was pleasantly surprised at how good it is but i DID have to use a bit of glue on the chest area and head. They also have a Kyrios and Exia version which i ordered but haven't built yet but will hopefully be as good as Barbatos.
I just want it on the record that I am not affiliated with (or compensated by) this company in anyway.
There’s a bunch of jank with the design, some of it just comes down to the limitation of the Lego system. I try to be upfront about it and made a video on the jank if anyone is interested.

Here I’m hoping for LEGO to partner with Bandai and do a collaboration. With LEGO partnering with Hasbro and making Optimus, one can only hope.
I wish more companies can do one off collabs of iconic things with LEGO.
not Lego but Bandai did a collab with Mega Bloks and made brick build figure of the RX-78-2 and the Zaku II during the celebration of Gundam's 30th anniversary and those things are super rare as f.
I can recall seeing an official mega bloks Zeta gundam, i think that would be interesting
Why the Zeta of all things
@nicovespruzzi6963 idk man they also made an rx-78-2 and I think a zz, so maybe just popularity?
Perfect grade Sotabrab doesn't look half bad tbh
Can't wait for you to review actual lego gundams, like jay's titan mech zane's titan mech
Pretty cool stuff when waiting for the MGSD Barbie to be released, man i can't wait for more new ibo kits
In temrs of building blocks themselves, Lego wasn't the first IMHO, it's difficult to speak about Lego botlegs when Lego wasn't the first company to make building blocks in this particular fashion, using this logic Lego is just a Kiddicraft bootleg, which in turn repurposed Build-O-Brik's for a different material (from rubber to plastic). DIfferent companies found various niches for the same tech.
This is in no way connected. We get you're trying to sound smart, but its not that important.
Also, considering Lego bought Kiddicraft over 40 years ago, does it actually matter?
@@paulheap1982 To best of my memory Gaikotsu mentioned something on the lines of lego bootleg, which is often used to refer to other companies dealing in building blocks, my comment was on topic. One company managed to get a fandom that weaponised itself and which loves to degrade other companies in the field (I'm tired of this attitude). To put this in perspective, it's as if Revell or Tamiya garnered a following similar to the one of Lego's and their fans started to attack, for example, Trumpeter because they dare to produce model kits that are not Revell's or Tamiya's. Lego failed numerous times to put the entire building blocks technology (on top of that, as I already wrote, they're not the originators of the technology) under copyright jail. If I'm trying to sound smart, then you're trying to be edgy by attacking someone with a different view on the matter.
If you like lego Gundam, you should look at the lego Sinanju's.
back in the day, Lego didn't really organize their parts in the bags so you basically always had to just open every bag- so I suppose I wouldn't have a particularly hellish time making this
I also made a Lego Gundam Barbatos before and uploaded it on my Channel, still one of my proudest works
I actually buy quite a few things from here. The things that are priced as they should be are genuine, like the 300$ Nintendo. I bought a model kit my Infinite Dimension from them, and what do you know, I got the kit that I was expecting, and it’s actually a good model kit, they are a good 3rd party company. But anyways, a lot of shit is sketch, but for the most part, they are fine. Better than wish, that’s for damn sure
I'm making my own lego barbatos moc and damn... I'm gonna buy this one just because I need the armor plates of this build, my skeleton is already so good to pose and move around that feels bad not having a good armor
I praise the person who design this, not the company who stole it and slightly change it.
WHEN IS THE HG KIRYOS REVIEW!!!!!
Tomorrow probably

Dude with Fan Home's infinity gauntlet they should partner with bandai to do the same thing but with a specific Gundam. I would love to build something up like that.
I still want to build this monstrosity. I hate to say but a local toy store sells these bootleg things (theybactually had a bootleg sinanju at one point) amd despite how frustrating they are to build i end up being pleased with myself for over coming the challenge
Hows your pg unleashed? Are the joints still ok? I found some internet post that says the joints for the foot breaks if you always move it
I just got it out from storage. The shit was kicked out of it in transit but it’s still holding up well. Biggest complaint would be that if I pick it up by the torso the legs and core fighter tend to fall off
@@MechaGaikotsu so does it have early realgrade syndrome?
Sluban actually had the same idea, Leshow Takeda Shingen, Sluban brick is legit no worries
25:19 has gotta be one of my top favorite poses
this man is stressing me out, just open all of the bags from the first bag
with some more lego pieces and some custom stickers it will be possible to create all 6 forms of the barbatos as well as lupus and lupus rex
I was going to get this but your video has informed me. It does look impressive however. I have built the Sluban models ,and they are just fine instruction wise and bag numbers. I plan to glue them together except for the joints.
Ngl i always love tinelapse builds!
ALL HAIL THE LEGO GUNDAM, NOW AND FOREVER.
Shouldve finished by launching it across the room! Great vid as usual.
I would probably spray it with a matte top coat and then leave it as a statue or just super glue it all together and leave it as a statue
i love "Stolen design of a stolen IP" mint!
Mecha, you are clearly too young to remember the true "old school" way of Lego, when you only got a single bag, containing all 50-200 pieces of the set. Those were the good days. They made it too easy, because kids nowadays can't be bothered to search for a piece for minutes, only to realize that they were holding it all along.
I’m old enough to fondly remember the red bucket and 6073 was the fanciest thing my local toy shop had
@@MechaGaikotsu I believe that what he is saying is 20-30+ years ago and beyond Lego didn’t number the bags for each step. They would have bags with 2-4 types of pieces in each of the bags and you would have to separate the pieces yourself and then the instructions didn’t show you the little box with what pieces you were needing for each step. You had to have an observant eye on each step and identify what pieces have been added to each step. Lego has over simplified the separation and instructions on how to build their kits. It doesn’t challenge the mind like it did when I was a kid. Children today wouldn’t have the patients to build today’s kits if the instructions were done the old way and the bags were not numbered like they are now.
I bought a different (but very similar) one from aliexpress. Its pretty damn good for the most part. The version i have didn't have any stickers...everything was painted on very nicely. It's a little wobbly on it's feet but i was pleasantly surprised at how good it is but i DID have to use a bit of glue on the chest area and head. They also have a Kyrios and Exia version which i ordered but haven't built yet but will hopefully be as good as Barbatos.
These temu lego sets are outstanding. And for the money, you can not go wrong.
