    Imagine if more Star Wars sets were 1) this cheap, 2) this functional and detailed, and 3) had so much value to offer. Even if we ignore the 3-in-1 aspect, this is a really great set.

Also quite surprised this Rover has way more functionality than the official LEGO Space one that felt a little barebones.

    And the latest version of the Clone Turbo Tank is by far, the...Oh, wait, wrong theme... Umm, as I was saying, this is an absolutely excellent in a half 3 in 1 set! I disagree with JANG's opinion about build #2. At a glance, it does look "cobbled" together, but seeing it in greater detail, I feel the designer did actually have an overall plan from the get-go and kept to that all the way through. I think the door, while kinda fat, is absolutely brilliant!

    The '3D' camera package on the top of the main building seems like it would be especially useful to scout out potholes or dangerous terrain that would otherwise scuttle the vehicle. If it's in Space, far away from a tow-truck--not getting stuck seems like a life or death situation.

  • @GODSPEEDseven
    @GODSPEEDseven 4 года назад +1

    What I like about this set, I get a very old school vibe from it. Especially with the use of those side windows that were pretty much the standard when I was growing up with Lego (90's).. Many pieces here that remind me of the old Space Legos in black and green.
    Just a feeling I get looking at these 3 models... maybe that's not really the case.
    I think when they make these 3-in-1 sets, that only include 1 minifig, they should include two ehads that have two faces per head... that way, if by any chance you're interested in having two of these, you could easily have different faces. Detail.

  • @JoelCelaya
    @JoelCelaya 3 года назад

    Maybe nobody cares, but I had some sort of revelation with this set, here’s my story:
    I’ve been a Lego fan since childhood, although I don’t usually buy a lot of sets. I have a small collection of, like, 6 sets. I have a lot of self-control when I see one that I like; I think: “I love Legos, but there are more important stuff I have to buy”. So, I just moved to the US (side note: I couldn’t bring any of my Lego sets with me) and I’ve been seeing this set in Walmart for like 3 weeks and I can’t stop thinking about it, day and night. I love it, all the details, the kind of pieces, all 3 buildings, etc. And I was wondering: “why I’m so into this specific set?” And I was watching this guy and the moment he was talking about the SINGLE mini figure 22:49 and said: “this guy is so alone, like in the frontier days” (or something like that) I realized: “wow, that’s why I want this set so badly: I feel alone, I still don’t have many friends here, I’m adapting to this new place, I’m exploring this new world and I’ve been at home most of the time because of the pandemic, but been here means my life is moving on, just like having a mobile home. That’s why I want it, because I’m feeling alone, like the minifig”.
    Man, I never expected to have this sort of epiphany from a Lego set, even less from a YT video about a Lego set. Gosh, that was intense. Maybe the things we desire talk about the way we feel and what we lack more than we realize. Anyway, I couldn’t help myself, I really wanted to share this with you all. 🙃

    I get a lot of Space Police vibes from this, and I love Space Police. So a definite pick up for me.

    The 2nd build could see as something used in Star Wars maybe, something on a asteroid or other spot used else were, some cool detail to all the builds in this 3 in 1 set. Other then that could see this placed in a cool looking space theme area.

    Habitat build is reminiscent of the Micronauts Astro Station from 40+ years ago.

    If I was smaller, and a lot more time for Lego, this would have been a dream to get.

    This would be a great thing to get like, two of and then moc a custom second car for the main rover.

    That Zone of the Enders reference 😏
    Think I found the basis for a carrier for my Halo minifigures. Perhaps combining two of these sets would do

    The bigger alien kind of gives me Phineas and Ferb vibes
