It looks great, but it's a bit ironic that it shall avoid the sun for fear of discoloration.

I missed out on this one the first time. 😢. Maybe I’ll get this one. ❤ definitely on my wish list.

Me and my girl absolutely love the look of this! She having been to Italy for dance on many occasions, it means more to her of course. She had the old retired set on her "to buy" list when we started doing Lego together, but that one goes for crazy prices. Now we can happily wait to get this one that looks so much more improved and colorful. Although I didnt expect it to be redesign for Architecture. I figured if we ever got another, it would be in the Icons theme, same as the Eiffel Tower, going from Architecture to Icons in a massive and detailed way. KInda glad its not the case because I know that could easily be a $500 set haha

Will you be buying the Lego Trevi Fountain on release day?

do u have any tips on starting lego as a major hobby

Love a haul video but always wonder....where the hell do you put all this stuff when it's built? 😄

Nice haul and have a day 1 release day on my bucket list. The only Jan 1st set I’ve bought so far is the Star Wars ARC-170 which is due to be delivered today. I had £12 in rewards to use up on Jadlam Models and used it all on that which effectively makes it 20% off 👍😀

My Tudor Corner had plastic bags in it. Instructions were in a paper bag though instead of the cardboard sleeve which I’m not happy about. I thought it was funny how you flew past the Creator Panda set😂. It’s an awesome set.

Awesome haul and video man! I also love how u displayed ur sets in the back ❤

You sure bought a lot of Lego sets. You'll be busy for a while. I too bought the Tudor modular. Will start it this week.

Got my tudor corner yesterday 🤗 ☺️

Excellent watch as always, I went for the Micro scale Diagon Alley set myself from the Jan 1st releases.

Nice to meet you outside the store when you were making that video. Man you completely destroyed it in that haul 😅

I think the Natural History Museum fits better next to the Sanctum Sanctorum, which I managed to get from an online retail store at the original retail price (going for much more nowadays). Both have green as their primary color compared to the Tudor, with its red and orange parts. Just my two cents.

Nice haul! I also grabbed the modular. I think it’s their best. I like the black tron but not sure I will get it

I ordered the Tudor Corner online new years day. It arrived Tuesday with both gwp's. It looks good placed next two the Natural History Museum. I think I might have a line of three with the addition of the Boutique Hotel next to them.

ordered Tudor corner online Jan 1st but had to wait to get Tom and Jerry and the holiday camper as they were on back order. Happy to say they turned up today :)

nice video man! A good release this year for sure I deffinetly got a few things. ome of my favorite selections was the 3 in 1 creator dragon and the new cmf series 27. I did not get the Tudor corner though alot of people did.

Have you bought any of the new Lego sets released in January?

The Bob Ross is quite different and unique but I do really love Gizmo. As a camera lover I like the Bolex 16mm and the Sherlock Holmes house. My top is definitely the polar express or bobs burgers

I don't vote anymore for Lego Ideas. As a castle fan I am going 100% for the Bricklink Castle Program....ehh I mean the Bricklink Designer Program 😅

Thanks for liking my Beetlejuice house design! As for the rights, last year Beetlejuice was a finalist for the 80’s contest; meaning that they have the license approval; so that’s a bonus!

I’ve always wondered whether Lego have gone through the review lists and decided they don’t want to do any but have to choose one to keep the theme alive? 😂

If you like the Wild West train station Funewhole has one for sale and they come with lighting kits!

Medieval Seaside Market for the win. Prices are all over the place with this one though! All the best for the channel in 2025 :)

The Turing design uses all existing pieces. At most it would require a large sticker sheet because I doubt they’d print the number pieces. So not that expensive. Sure it’s big for a technic set but it doesn’t have any IP attached like any of the supercar sets. The Beetlejuice house would be expensive because of all the new figures required, but the house would likely appeal to a wider consumer market than the Turing machine so 🤷 And they did do a Hocus Pocus house and I think Beetlejuice would be more appealing than that to most. Music and Jewellery is too similar to existing or previously released Modulars to really be considered IMHO. I agree brickheadz are unlikely. If anything they would be just a regular brickheadz set and not an Ideas set after all they have done Pixar brickheadz before with Wall-e. 🤷 The lake house is cool, but fits more with the Bricklink Designer program than as an Ideas set. Still a little niche. The microscope is nice but unlikely IMHO as it just doesn’t have enough appeal. Summit station agin is more likely as a BL designer program set than an Ideas one. I think the Bob Ross is most likely out of those so far, reminds me of the Van Gogh set crossed with the space art set. The princess bride looks great, and given that they’ve done a Goonies (another popular eighties film) set I see this as being quite likely. Mystery Shack? Unlikely. They’ve done Winnie the Pooh (or at least the Disney version), so I could see this being chosen. I’d love them to do a Muppet theatre, especially as so many have already done it effectively by using the CMFs and modifying the Friends theatre set but that’s precisely why I don’t see this one being selected. 🤔🤷🤣 I don’t know, Gizmo is clearly popular. Plus it’s a buildable one and TLG loves doing those. I mean they have 2 buildable Simba sets! I could see them doing this! Cliff side house? Nope. Not gonna happen. Magical books? Nope, unlikely IMHO. Feels too much like a Harry Potter set. Discworld- unlikely again for much the same reason. Again modular hospital, also unlikely. Same as the previous mystery shack, unlikely. Especially as it looks very similar to the A Frame cabin 🤷 Howls moving castle is cool but….🤷 Italian Villa, unlikely. Modular library too boring looking and too many library ideas already! 😂 Ski lodge is cool but again belongs more in the BL designer program than Ideas IMHO. Woodland wildlife looks good but it’s too similar to the creator 3 in 1 animal sets, just with more side builds. Unlikely. Drill dozer looks cool, but too niche. Although I could see a lot of people modding it. Wild West train station? BL designer program stuff again. 😂 Everyone would love a new Simpsons set but two in a row? Hmmm… The medieval Tavern? Another BLD program set more likely. Sherlock Holmes? I dunno I think that’s more likely than most. It’s a modular yet also an IP, but a free IP. I would’ve ranked this higher than a Twilight set and we are getting one of those so 🤷 Capybara? Another 3in1 without the 3in1. Unlikely. Clue/do? Nope, unlikely. Polar Express? Possible but I wouldn’t hold my breath Commerce and camping trip both unlikely. NO TAYLOR SWIFT! Taskmaster would be awesome, but Greg would need to be a bigfig! 😂 Too adult and too specific to be a set IMHO Helicopter is good but again niche and looks too militaristic to qualify. Bobs burgers? Unlikely. Frogs are possible given the Kingfisher set. Possible. PlayStation 2? Nope. All the other gaming system recreations have been of ones not being made or sold anymore, but I think PlayStation is too new (relatively) to fit that category. If anything PlayStation they’d do the first not the second. Card shuffler is awesome but too close to gambling to qualify. Jumanji would be great, but unlikely. Workshop is again BLDP not Ideas. I could see them doing the grinch. Betta? Nope.

Beetlejuice has a good chance. We've gotten back to back Halloween themed IP sets with Hocus Pocus and Nightmare before Christmas. I think its about time a Bob Ross set was chosen. This one is pretty creative and I like its designed as a sort of studio diorama and as a modular display set. Godzilla is an IP I think Lego would consider for a theme in the near future, even just brickheadz. Its gotten a lot of worldwide appeal over the last decade between US media, and its revival in Japan back in 2018 with Shin Godzilla. Not sure if they would go with this US Monsterverse version for Ideas but it would show that Lego is indeed interested.

Who is this Taylor Swift fella, and why does he keep getting so much attention.

Polar Express, Medieval Tavern, Wild West train station, Music and Jewelry. They are what I would like...so they have now received Neils kiss of death, they will never ever be made...sorry about that.

Beetlejuice house and summit station would be my top choices.

Several interesting sets, maybe just the Alpine Ski Lodge for me. I’d love a Spanish villa set in the minaret rounded style utilising some lovely colours.

My two picks would be the Medieval tavern and Wild West Train station to go with the bricklink series 4 train. Although like you I don’t believe either set with be chosen as an ideas set. I think they both to would have a high chance to be chosen via the bricklink designer program. If Lego can get the Taylor Swift IP that would be a no-brainer for them (not for me but her billion fans that apparently have no problem spending $1000 for a concert.) lol

I like the sherlock holmes set and howl moving castle

Wonder what gets picked. I hope we see images of February set soon also

Which of these 54 Lego Ideas designs do you hope get selected for retail sets?

Bought the mountain fortress (haven't build it yet :P ) and was thinking to try to order the siege encampment for some flavour to the fortress, but not at that price... Might save up for later sets that really appeal I guess. Pricing is going up and up it seems, the original BL sets had decent prices.

To me this is the strongest series of the 6 so far revealed. I think for sure I’ve gotta go for the Train. I’m debating on the other castle sets. It’s a lot of money and I think that train is going to be a set that goes up and up in value over time so I may have to swing for 2 of those. I don’t do much “investing” but that one seems like an obvious winner

I’ve watched a build of the Merchant Boat and looks a great set to build and own

This will be an expensive series for me…. 2x Seige…2x train….2x market. If anyone is a castle fan, I can’t see them skipping the siege encampment. It compliments all castle sets

Huge prices for numerous stickers. 17 stickers for the train set is an absolut nogo for the money

Its clear from these prices where Lego's priorities are aimed.

I must admit to going a bit cold on the BDP lately as space is an issue especially when regular Lego sets are coming off the production line 20 to the dozen. I would be all over the western train but have been buying “Old West” sets from a rival company 😉. Their train is a third of the price!

This may sound thick but are these sets done by Lego or another company

Cant stand your voice

Which set would be the best for investing? Or are none of these good enough?

Some nice looking ones in there but nothing that really makes me want to grab them. Train is nicest I think

Really insane pricing. I was very surprised by how small the boxes were for Ominous Isle and Brick Cross. I enjoyed the Isle but not sure I will make Brick Cross. Got the Forest Stronghold coming and have backlog with D&D, Black Falcon and now Tudor Corner. Will probably give these a miss as I think the BDP is now very overpriced, especially when you consider most standard Lego sets you can get on 20-30% discount. If I was to go for one it would be the market as looks like they have improved it and added some more figures.

Siege encampment for me is a must buy, and probably the only one I'll get. It's less pieces but more expensive than the riverside set because it has a bunch of animals and 18 minifigures! Seaside market was close but I like black falcons more than lion knights.

Thanks, great video

Great looking sets but none of these are amount I have been spending recently. Great review. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
