HOW TO FIX The NEW LEGO Great PYRAMID of GIZA Set (21058) 2022

[@yasserabdeen9642]

Nice work, you need to modify the direction of the Sand Dunes to make it in one direction not mirrored.

[@BriQFoundation]

Thanks for the tip!

[@heartofakid9532]

Funny I saw that two and it just felt wrong but looks awesome as a one solid build as long as the sand dunes are fixed lol

Yeah that’s my only minor nitpick, but hell yeah I was waiting for someone to make a video doing exactly this 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

[@johnycruz2078]

The end result of getting a full pyramid is quite nice. The fact that there is a Technic pin already present is fishy. LEGO wants us to buy two sets apparently...

[@kekambas79]

Lego’s thinking, “let the consumer buy another set to complete the pyramid!” smh

[@solvemproblerstudios5889]

It’s like with the Ironman Halls on a much worse scale. They’re “suggesting” you buy a few more.

[@2010ngojo]

One half for back in the day, golden age of the great pyramid. Other half would be the current day pyramid with the worn out look.

[@gagelochard3731]

Yea it’s a bit fishy and Lego definitely wants everyone’s money 😂😂 but it would have been way out of peoples price ranges and very hard for typical consumers to display.

[@dr.coomerphd4937]

just me but i have a feeling that lego might release another set of the pyramid in the present day

[@theneedforspeeder9575]

The half pyramid is such a dumb design for their price honestly

[@oulosvie]

Just use mirror so you get the whole pyramid.

[@TheInvisibleLegacy]

Genius

[@afkjj140]

I love the historical accuracy of the white and gold, as well as the chambers.

[@kolaxanthe]

I'm wondering if the pyramid "shell" should also be built as a whole in order to avoid the split down the middle. I'm guessing it might be hard to grip the shell though and remove it. I'm also tempted to just buy the pieces to make up the second half as you have done for just the base and pyramid shell (not including the unbuilt half underneath) as it seems a lot of pieces from the second set will be unneeded - I haven't figured out if this would be a cost saving or not.

[@BriQFoundation]

That is absolutely one way. I was lucky enough that Zavvi sent over the sets to me. Otherwise, Cost would’ve definitely been figured into it.

[@TabbyTimeOut]

There's a pretty good MOC on Rebrickable that uses two sets to good results. The pyramid shell is whole and there are more buildings and water around the front and side of the pyramid. The base is also square which is more aesthetically pleasing. Yes the shell is harder to get off if its in one piece but it looks a lot better with no seam.

[@davymaekelberg]

[@NauticalBricks]

Amazing customisation, by any chance could you release the build instructions for the second half?

[@DerekYang-tf1uq]

Hi

[@wings9925]

Nice work. I suggest reversing the direction of dunes at the sides so they're all windswept in the same way. Also, the rear would benefit from sand too, instead of the layered darker plates. Being on the leeward side I don't think there would be dunes, but some texture would work

[@j1t176]

I'm honestly surprised that lego didn't make instructions for a modification for this in the first place since they gave us the axel bricks for it

[@jamesbellanca]

Could you please give us some instructions on how to build your mod, along with what extra pieces you needed? I just finished the first half and decided to buy a second one, so I'd LOVE to know how you changed it to work so well. Particularly mirroring the inside!

[@arshaga1]

Same here!

[@Quentino808]

I love mythology, norse, Greek, Egyptian they're all really interesting. I love that Lego finally made a historical pyramid build but I just don't want to buy 2 to display it how I want. Hopefully I can find them on sale soon, it's a beautiful build I'd hate to miss out on it

[@Merlinsbigbeard]

Honestly, I like that the back is exposed. It shows the accurate tunnels carved into the real pyramid. Plus the front is so damn pretty by itself

[@botboy0]

Id like to not get half a pyramid thinking I get a full pyramid

[@RipOffProductionsLLC]

Technically there is an error/inaccuracy in the set... but only if you subscribe to the internal ramp hypothesis, which does have some decent evidence and get around a lot of the problems with other ideas about how the pyramids were biult. Then again, showing an internal ramp at this particular scale might be impractical. Also, The Great Pyramid isn't the one with the little tiny queen pyramids next to it, that's the Red Pyramid(and even if it was, it's entrance doesn't line up with them this way)

[@MadMarcus66]

Ive made the pyramide outer layer in one piece and still have the cut underneath. Replaced one of the tombs inside with some gold artifacts. Made the river 10 studs wide with more boats and enlarged the village.

I'm honestly a little shocked they would make this set and only include half the pyramid xD Those connection points are a taunt- and it worked on you!

[@Bananarama67]

Any potential for a full bricks list for building the back half?

[@joek5882]

I feel that I've been doing this a lot lately with Lego sets...that they're impressive, but in need of "fixing". I guess that's the beauty of Lego. I spent several weeks rebuilding and improving the Lego Titanic and just the other day I had to make a few small mods to my Optimus Prime to fix some minor problems. 🤷‍♂️. Stellar job on THIS mod...it would prove too expensive for me as I need the new castle! 👍

[@jaydiemusik]

For me it feels more like a degrease in creativity and laziness for Lego. Everytime i see a set i spot something that i don‘t like. I wouldn’t mind otherwise but it got really expensive over the years

[@readyplayerocto]

pls show me the titanic

[@joek5882]

@@readyplayerocto If I had the means to share photos I would be happy to. I'm sure Lego experts could probably improve on what I've done, but considering that I'm not an expert, I have to say I'm pretty happy with the results. I should also point out that I would be accurately accused of "cheating" as I made use of custom stickers on areas that I felt just couldn't do the overall look justice with actual bricks. I also didn't create any kind of guide for my mods. I would create a mock up, stare at it for a day or two and then change it to make it look better until I got the way I wanted it. So the bow (specifically the forecastle) went through several rebuilds until it turned out just right. 🤗

[@LRM12o8]

So, the "beauty" of Lego is that they offer flawed sets at a higher price than the competition? 😂

[@jam777]

Can you give the link to instruction how to fix pyramid?

[@johnosbeck4584]

You know it says right in the instruction book for this set that you can order another set of instructions from them on how to do this exact thing.

[@ultramaximusreviews]

LEGO should have provided the extra pieces you had to swipe from another set in this so people could buy 2 and do this... OR come up with an extra add-on pack to do this.

[@coffeeinhandproductions3238]

This is superb attention to detail, and from the first reveal one of the largest glaring issues with simply placing two of these together. Not so much the surrounding Nile which you rectified beautifully but not having the inner duct system properly lining up. Reverse building it couldn't have been easy but the ending result when separated looks well worth the time effort.

[@BriQFoundation]

[@chrisjanssen8072]

Would u be willing to write up some instructions showing how u did this and what extra pieces you used for us that are new to Lego? It would be greatly appreciated

[@mbphilipblack8993]

I love everything EGYPTIAN so I'm definitely getting this especially the history of their empires and mythology a must have. The Nile inclusion is a great bonus with that solid layered depth building technique and the mini boats have some clever parts usage, I like micro builds but have never really gotten into them but these wonders of the world sub theme are very appealing hope they make Hanging Gardens of Babaylon or even a more stylised Mount Olympus would be cool. I'll be putting it right against the wall don't necessarily need a full pyramid as the illusion is created but would have preferred a full one with a more detailed interior with some booby traps love the other buildings included with the spire/tower and sphinxes and the overall foliage looks like a cracking build.

[@thechieflegofanatic9194]

Given how much time and effort I put forth to get the Mos Eisley set, I can’t imagine just having it in a drawer I built. I am excited about the Pyramid set though. I’ll tide myself over with the Loop Coaster until August gets here.

[@zombiesalmon4997]

Instant subscription 💙

[@BrickHQ]

You made this set look much better, the way it should have been made originally. What lego parts storage system do you use?

[@bebopblue]

I would love to see the same done with the Disney Castle, as it too is missing the back half. Except the back isn’t something you can base off the front design since it’s different. And it’s pretty evident in the front since spires in the back can also be seen in the front on the actual castle. Even the small version is just half the castle.

[@bjornroeven7343]

For the outside you need an extra piece. A sand roof tile 4x2 Else you’ll have 2 doors in the pyramid. What is the piece you need for the bottom on which you say you needed a piece from another set? I’m gonna build my second half of the pyramid completely mirrored. Already have the wedge pieces mirrored, but can’t find the piece you’re talking about.

[@TheRealFeechLaManna]

Great job! I have been pondering something similar for this set, it was clear to me from the start that I would need two sets and more, as I also want to incorporate a Sphinx. Inspiring stuff!

[@BriQFoundation]

That's a great idea!

[@lilshaolinboy]

[@lam1991hahaha]

[@Anne-ot8gq]

A hieroglyphics wall that is more of an art display like the starry night set would be so cool.

[@bjornroeven7343]

Almost perfect, but I would turn around the sand dunes since they are normally shaped by the wind and should face the other direction. Further you did a nice job. My half pyramid fits perfectly where it’s standing so I’m not modifying it, but love to see what you did with it.

[@gaijininja]

Great build. Only modification I would recommend is to reverse the sand dunes on either side of the second build so they face the same direction as the original, rather than a mirror image.

[@alphaomegazulu8451]

[@violin1357]

[@Benzene21]

I’m confused. If it’s meant to be 2 parts, why do you need extra pieces from other sets? Why can’t I do it with the pieces included? What’s missing?

[@MrKlawUK]

I wonder what a ‘minimal’ second half would look like. Skip the internals - just the outer skin and the internal bracing. May be possible to bricklink but I don’t know how rare those white old style roof bricks are?

[@rochelimit55555]

I’m kinda frustrated here because I want to see it from the top and the camera keeps looking it from human eye level. Also a little critique, my OCD keeps kickin my ass when I see the symmetrical brick module of the pyramid, which I think shouldn’t be that way. it should have the same rhythm, meaning that the short brick should meet longer brick instead of another short brick, to avoid the back side of the pyramid looking like a mirrorized version of the original front side, u know what I mean

[@pokeroohardo6539]

Sooo two sets are needed and that needs to be done is connecting them in the back? That’s the only catch here?

[@AFunnyLittleCharacter]

Ah yes, how to fix this Lego set. Step 1. Buy another, Step 2. That’s it. Just buy two.

[@slswisher]

Hi I completed the full pyramid with no assistance from here. I did three flat squares deep as shown here. The only parts you need to replace are the 2x4 wedges in tan and sand in the thin and tan on the thicker ones. You need left hand to do the back pyramid. I just used the sand colored blocks from the front to fill the back in layers. Then put trees on the back for some color. I moved the village just a bit and used the three extra sphinx’s to balance out the walkway. I got the dunes right. To be honest Lego did a good job balancing this out. They made it as is to you could buy this at a reasonable price. But if you want more you can pay more for the rest. If this was $270 many would not buy it. To me it was worth it and makes a impressive display. Note bot kits include an axle to join both kit. No one really says this but Lego made a holder for the pin on each kit. The reverse build was not difficult but I do a lot of Technic super cars where you are. Hall Angel a bit. Same on the Titanic. To me the reverse build made this interesting.

[@JKyle22]

"With no assistance from here." . Wow you just thought you'd point that out huh? You put two halves together, congratulations it isn't that difficult.

[@slswisher]

@@JKyle22 Jack for your information a number of us have asked what parts needed changed out to get the reverse built pyramid completed as these parts are not a common or easy color to locate. My comment was a jab at the lack of simple advice we were asking. FYI I did not just put two together. I reverse built the second half and shortened it up and did MOC with the rest of the land scape. Now get back to life with reading with your lips moving in moms basement.

[@slswisher]

@@stephensoroka1239 sorry no photo but the part numbers 6328445, 6394212, 6177890 I replace all with the left hand versions. You have to reverse the work way and changing from right hand angles to left let you do this so the internal paths still line up. Hope this helps.

Indeed. This is the way lego intended it to be. You should neet to buy 2x times the already expensive set to get a full one... I have one hlaf and I'm ok with it because I dont have that much space. But I think its outrages that lego, on top of the pricy set, suggests, by placing those axlebricks, to buy 2, that dont even go together without extra parts..... Still nice mock to finish the pyramide!

But after seeing this video, I've changed my mind. But now it looks like I'm going to have to buy two of the same set!

[@dannypipewrench533]

1:41 Ooh, those sand dunes. I do not care if they are little pieces of plastic. I love sand dunes. They are so majestic. I love being able to see just two colors, beige (or white, tan, yellow, orange, or red) and blue, or beige and grey if it is an overcast day. Three colors, depending on clouds. No plants (maybe a few shrubs here and there. Imperial Sand Dunes has great valleys of creosote bushes), just sand. Magnificent desolation.

There's nothing "wrong" with it being a 1/2 pyramid. Your mod is more of an enhancement. Also for the potential cost and how much space is saved I disagree it should have been a full pyramid. Nice mod. though.

[@colemanbain9251]

Yeah I remember people being similarly upset about the lego Statue of Liberty’s face. I think that Lego made good choices on these sets: the half pyramid makes it easier to display on a shelf and the flat Statue of Liberty face was more artistic than a blocky face with big nose.

Sorry to break it, but you made one mistake in your mod... ( Because yup, I thought about it too... ) Since you built the passage and everything, you also built another coffin... Or there was only one of those in the main chamber, so you should change it by replacing it with something else, such as some jewelry or gold pieces...
