Loved this one.

Great video Heather nice set 📐

I built this last week and had pretty much the same experience. Lots of repetitive building but it goes quick. I expected it to be small, but it turned out bigger than I thought. Would like to see any other Christmas/winter builds! I just built the Nutcracker GWP yesterday and it's much better than I expected.

I have several of these Lego poinsettias. My cat won't sample these and I'm grateful for it! If you build 4 of these together,you get a full size version ( more or less the size of the "Real" plant)!

You should send Lego a strongly worded e-mail about the mistake in the instructions, they should really fix that. 41 years!!! They should have fixed it by now! I'm just saying, I would demand a refund from Lego. You also can no longer say the word "Space" in reference to Lego without saying it like Alex doing Captain Kirk.

Nice video about Space

I bought a boxed copy of this set from a guy in the Netherlands about 5 years ago, he only wanted 200 Euros plus 50 Euros shipping for it so I got it for less than $300 USD, which was a steal!!! I can confirm that all the parts to build both sets are included with the boxed version of the set.

Any plans to build the MTron and Blacktron II super models? I have the classic space one, I'm just not sure they're worth it to get extra parts for

You reminded me of how I felt about set 10176 king's castle from 2006. It felt like they were trying to use up the remaining castle pieces from their inventory. The build felt incomplete, and the accessories for the minifigs did not go together.

Great video! It had it all; Classic Lego lore, chase collecting, exclusivity, even the frustration we all love!😅 It's part of the hobby!

I’m ready for the hunt for the missing classic space sets video series

Greetings from Germany. I had that as a child. Nice to see it again. Totally forgot about it. Thanks for bringing back some memories.

Yup, the only way to get it affordably was to get the 2 separate sets. I got my original boxed 1593 in 1986 and I still have the box and the instructions. It is a nice set and I love how the vehicle attaches to the back. Played a lot with this set back in the day. Edit: Also I think some of the ladder pieces you have as extras go under the plane.

I'm surprised that the ran over package contents is still so good! Yes, the did a green helmet in the Ninjago set.

fun facts - Barnes and Noble online still has Vidiyo sets (not the ones with the valuable figures), and Walmart online still has the Galaxy Explorer (available from Walmart, not just resellers)

Joey - you might have already seen - but Lego has the Orient Express for $60 off right now. Plus double VIP points is going on

Thank you for sharing this wholesome moment. Perfect for the holidays!🥲

Since Joey likes to drill through lego... why don't you go for it and put a red light through to make it rudolph. Just kidding... Hmm... those clear lego balls looks good. Maybe we will be making some as well. Grtz, SG from Belgium 🇧🇪

Nice tree. Will there be Lego under the tree?

Just leaving a comment so Earl has something to read. Keep up the dad jokes.

Heather had a fantastic Joey impersonation

The ornament look really good hello heather and Dakota ❤

Nice job and fun to see a peek outside the basement

Fun! We have a lot of similar-looking ornaments on our tree. I started getting 2 or 3 LEGO ornaments per year and based on how many I have now, I must've started about a 100 years ago! 🤣

should add this to the point-to-point tram playlist. Dakota will be a pro cameraman or grip before you know it

Best video ever, keep this up with your family !

Cool decorations, I hope you get all the Formula 1 collectable Happy Meal Toys... I mean minifigs this year.

really like the whimsical music while you’re rambling in exposition. sounds like an Oswald cartoon but live-action. you had to be a bean counter before you cut that baseplate lol. good that you fixed the light on the reversing unit

my fat head gets in the way of a light source when filming too. getting that hooked up on a 3 second timer is so cool for your transit network

I’m gonna pull out my uno reverse card on your new reversing unit

i did a similar build to your tutorial for a generic power functions chassis that I can put body shells over

Best tree 🌲! Great work again.

ughhh would you guys hurry up and put the brick on there!

You guys are so festive! ❤

I think you forgot to spread your arms like what Jacob said you should do when you show your city. This was a fun video to watch. Almost like it’s a Jacob video, but with Dakota instead of Milo.

Hey guys, I recently discovered this podcast and am catching up on the episodes. Still another 80 to go. Here's a question for you all: if you were to pick a 'vintage' train set (Lego-produced, not MOC) to put under your Christmas tree, which one would it be? I just had that dilemma. I have a lot of 12V and 9V sets. I think 12V is too difficult to take apart so I ignored those sets and I don't have any of the 60s or 70s sets. I would have chosen 4535, the deluxe My Own Train, but have that one at my mom's house. I ultimately went with 4563, Load N' Haul Railroad. My three kids under five seem to enjoy it, but I'm constantly worried they'll irreparably destroy it when they play with it.

Tram .you calling it a tram to. Thats what i seed. It look s more like a. Tram that city set .others saying train .i calling it a red tram set 😅.

Most the track s in my cuty are risen .only 2 spots in my city tracks at ground leval thru my train tunnle and .train yard .and i not got mile plate .way just been creative .with how i got my moduler s sitting onto or another base plate .and you can just. Build up around .them. So if need to move a moduler can just lift the moduler out as thay not atached easy bonus about tracks. Been above ground. Can have little shop builds. stalls walk ways under the tracks. 😊

Hi joie 😊👋 decoda 🚂🚃🚃 I need the city red. New train. And to the city. Cargo one .to Manny dam set s .I trying to get .from this year . Like jazz club burga truck red bus .musium .then more set s. Come. 😅 As you know how it is .$$$$$$

The track for the train is fine, what you should do it elevate everything in the city around the train track.

The monorail was raised. The tram is on ground level. Those who want raised will have to wait a (few) year(s) until you want to have back a raised monorail. I was a bit sceptical about changing the monorail for a tram. But it looks good. 👌 Grtz, SG from Belgium 🇧🇪

You know, I really do hope to be doing this hobby with my grandkids too. I seem to be between the phase of my own kids being interested in LEGO and playing with LEGO with grandkids. I can wait though.

Who is the Mils you’ve adopted? That’s what Dakota was thinking

I think my favorite part of this is how you got the train to stop so the doors are perfectly aligned with the platforms at the station. It's very satisfying. And that looked like some excellent malletting by Dakota!

It’s always nice seeing you two working together.

Awesome! Great job, keep up the hard work Dakota and the other guy

Very cool. And the stop and go is slick

It will never be done

Like the EOL's you have made for the tram line.
