    Finally, someone who understands why there's only 1 minifigure and no side build. Because it all went into this stunning, articulatation heaven lego mech!!

    Hey Jang! It’s me, the designer of this set. Thanks so much for the glowing review and the comparisons. I’m very glad you like it and the fact it only comes with one figure. It really allowed us to present this set at an appropriate price point while keeping the articulation and detail levels high.

    • @Quote_ation
      @Quote_ation 4 месяца назад +30

      You did an excellent job at this set! I really wanna know, do you have a history with Gunpla? That double elbow joint and sliding armor separation gimmick at the knee remind me heavily of some higher grade kits - Real Grade, Master Grade, etc. Also that super tiny V-Fin on the head too!

      I'd love to see a Classic Space mashup with Exo-Force - odd as that may sound - Classic Space mech theme. A while back a Lego Ideas set did do just that - and introduced us to the green space minifig. But I'd love to see that go even farther. But I guess that's why we have MOCs. :)

    It’s startling how much Lego has improved over time - this Cole mech design is stellar!
    If this set is successful, perhaps we’ll get many more single build masterpieces.
    No side build or extra figures? So what - having one single stellar build (at a solid and competitive price) should be an option far more often.
    The designers at Lego are second-to-none; this is a milestone moment for the hobby :-)

    I am not a fan of mechs myself, but even I can appreciate that this is a masterpiece of a build for the price point. Pretty much the only downside I can think of is that Lego have set the bar so high it is going to have customers demanding this kind of exceptional design in all their products.

  • @The_AGL_Group
    @The_AGL_Group 4 месяца назад +26

    Ninjago mechs still don't scratch the Exo-Force itch, and that's partially because of the usual lack of canopies - those exposed pilots as you mention here. If they had a small transparent windshield protecting Cole, this would be perfect.
    Then again, I say "would be perfect" if this wasn't absolutely what Lego mech fans have always wanted - high stability, great articulation, exceptional posing potential, an amazing silhouette, and all at a very strong price value. As much as having only one minifig in a set this large feels weird, as you say it allows the budgeting to be optimized and all killer with no filler. Heck, from a collector/display perspective, the lack of side build or loose figures makes it even cleaner to put on a shelf, and since it's from an original IP there's no minifig subject pressure and vastly reduced minifig FOMO and resale aspects; this set is firmly for kids, teens, and adults that want an epic mech and the exclusive variant of Cole is a bonus.

    @manireik 4 месяца назад

    I know/care nothing about Ninjago, but I love making robots with Lego. Usually I MOC, but this looked so technically interesting I pre-ordered back in June. Finally built it today, with modifications to get rid of the overly-large shoulder pads, fill in the "cockpit" and give it a bigger non-tiny head, lengthen the torso to better proportions, and to have my own version of the "wings" so they can fold down flat like a cape. It was a really fun build, aesthetically and technically pleasing, with lots of potential for modifications. Really enjoyed it, and glad you did, too!

  • @numgun
    @numgun Месяц назад +1

    Really hoping Lego will do more of these, especially with that level of articulation and laser focus on making the build itself as awesome as possible with minimal minifigs.

    I've taken a break from collecting LEGO sets, choosing to focus on my Gunpla collection and other hobbies recently. I love the robust and practical look of a well designed mech and LEGO hasn't delivered since the Exo-Force line up. Products that end up looking either too goofy or overpriced for the quality and design, aimed more at the younger audience obviously. To see this set on a review and available on the market made my jaw drop. I've already sourced one and I'm looking forwards to it! 😎
    Great video and hats off to the designer!

  • @HeIsTheBluesCat
    @HeIsTheBluesCat 16 дней назад

    Why this is the best NInjago Titan Mech:
    1: The Articulation: The Elbows bend far and those articulations knees are tight! _IMPRESSIVE innovation in LEGO mechs._
    2: General body design: It really does scream a Gundam look, especially the nice head. Honestly the lower legs and arms are the best part to me.
    Overall: S+ set!

  • @furosutokira
    @furosutokira 4 месяца назад +1

    This is by far the BEST mech Lego has ever made. Most of the time I end up buying cheaper sets for the figures, the only reason I would get anything above $50 is if I like the entire set. Zane's titan mech completely sold me because it seemed so cool, and the articulation on this mech is even better than Zane's!

  • @AndyBuildsStuff
    @AndyBuildsStuff 4 месяца назад

    Wow, that articulation is amazing! I had been thoroughly impressed by the knee articulation in Zane’s Titan Mech Battle (71738), which uses multiple ball-and-socket joints to provide plenty of friction and range of motion... but this one is a whole new level. Fine, once again, Lego, take my money.

  • @A-Ner2

    this recent ninjago wave may be the best of the entire line, with the largest dragon of the theme, a gorgeous temple, and a mech that blows about every other ninjago mech (and lego mech in general) out of the water in terms of poseability & scale. just peak set design across the board

Even ignoring any price difference, just the fact that you can get a Lego mech that can do this is really cool.

  • @thebrickhiker
    @thebrickhiker 4 месяца назад

    I'd love if they did this kind of build on the years they don't make a Ninjago City modular set. Something massive, with no side builds, just a minifig. I'm not a Ninjago fan [though I did enjoy the movie and have some of the excellent sets from it], but for me, this is a must-have, just like most of the Ninjago City modular builds. Seeing the size of this - I knew it was big, but it still seems even larger and to me, TLG could have charged $150 for this. I'm glad they didn't, and I hope they keep a "every 2 years, $100 giant mech" in their line up.
    Thanks for the excellent review and the comparison to a model about the same size. Love seeing Lego compared to non-Lego things. Also love the T-shirt. :)

    The Astray is a great comparison, this seems to take a lot of design cues from that mech! This is a remarkable set for LEGO to release, I only (dearly) wish this kind of energy would be shifted away from Ninjago. A set like this, maybe minus the head and with a different cockpit, would be the perfect flagship for a spiritual successor to Exo-Force! It’s just a shame that all the cool ideas for new LEGO themes are instead being relegated Ninjago subthemes.

  • @khoonkitlim5963

    This very well might be my first Ninjago set! I love the _idea_ of Gunpla but I always felt guilty that if I got bored of displaying them then I wouldn't have an outlet to get rid of them. With this sort of mech I can always use it as a parts pack!

    I really like that it's just the mech. A lot of small side builds just kind of get set aside in my collection. Too bad this is so good, as now I will consider buying it.

    I'm not into Ninjago, but might get this one just for the building and engineering, and then later use the parts for something else
