CASUAL re--view: LEGO Ideas Tree House 21318

[@JANGBRiCKS]

LOL my luck -- sound rendered up extra bassy. Happens probably 1/50th of the time for absolutely no discernible or repeatable version. Sorry about that.

[@mileschicken1]

it sounds really good tbh

[@aidanquarles5081]

It ups the relaxation factor, man. I like it.

[@YensR]

Not much of an ASMR person, but I approve of this sound rendering =) Lovely personal review - almost like an introspective

[@lurkenvoncurken518]

B A S S

[@EmeraldCoasttt]

asmr

[@danieljohanson9337]

you should replace one of the plants in the background with the treehouse

[@rohindhaliwal182]

great idea

[@2by4productions20]

I was gonna say that

[@MiniLegoProductions]

Daniel Johanson yeah he should!

[@brickrichbuilds]

The warm and natural background really helps make this video extra comfy, as does your casual candor. The bassy voice works with it. More of this type, please! : )

[@MiniLegoProductions]

Richard Patton yeah, this was nice

[@Rod-ms2mu]

yes this was sooo relaxing

[@legoman5432]

You should do a video discussing your favorite lego sets. From now and your childhood

[@LG-jt3lr]

I would enjoy that also.

[@WATCHINGTHEWATCHERS]

He already did that when showing Lego catalogues of classic sets. Search his vids "A look though 1980s Lego catalogue"

[@omnitheus5442]

yeah I'd be up for that

[@timol.1831]

Probably the best Jangbricks video to date. I want to call this brickphilosophy: just take the time for certain sets that deserve a bit more attention and share what you think and how this inspires you.

[@Nailfut]

you could even keep it as part of studio B's backgroud, along those "real-life plants"

[@unavailablespaceship]

I didn't know, but now I need that kind of casual re-view more often as soon as possible. The sound was fun. You can bother me with any video at any time..!!

[@-tL-]

I love this set, one of the best sets released in years. I have a park in the centre of my City and this set will be going as the central focus as a cafe or tourist information centre. I’m planning on putting the new Hagrid’s Hut near it as a Park Keepers cottage.

[@1776PonySoldier]

Great idea. Im stealing that for my city.

[@RTGame]

I'm currently gearing up to mover house, and my reward for getting through the moving process is going to be this set as a centrepiece for my office room. Thanks for the followup video :)

[@lurkenvoncurken518]

Oi Rt, wat ar ya doing watching Jang???

[@McArg_]

congrats on moving it can be a big thing!

[@tjzp]

Jang I rarely post comments, but I just wanted to say thanks for all your hard work. Your reviews are great, some of the most informative on the internet. Your personal opinions are also welcome! Keep up the good work!

[@vladimirchervenkov6949]

JANG, as a viewer, I appreciate and watch EVERY new video style you put out. Thank you

[@WATCHINGTHEWATCHERS]

Gnajbricks

[@thatfishguy4991]

This is, without doubt, the most beautiful LEGO set I’ve ever seen.

[@JanKustersSittard]

The angled down branches work wonders for the over all view! And I love the re-review; its the last 5 minutes of a normal review with the personal thoughts, but expanded. It is great to hear your real joy shimmering through here.

[@BrentARJ]

Jang, something about this review had an effect on me. I've been a "no" on the tree house, and your first review me reassured that I was making the right decision. It's beautiful, but it's too big for my space and your quibbles with it match mine well. Then you posted this, and the presentation with the plants and fairy lights just won me over instantly, and your warmer commentary only reinforced the sensation that my wife and I would be missing out on a one-of-a-kind experience if we skipped it. Thanks for doing a re-view, you should consider doing a couple more like this for the truly special sets.

[@Duffman-gj4fs]

Hey Jang could you do a night shot of the tree house with some of your new interior lights? I think it would look sweet

[@Lego4LifeProductions]

I love this style of video! It’s very relaxing, and it’s great to hear more of your thoughts on a set. As for what to do with it, I think it would look great in this studio as a background piece.

[@PuuberZ]

Soon as i get this set i'm going to fill it with my Forestmen army. Perfect place for them to chill on my layout.

[@kidsimaginefun2793]

WE LOVE YOU JANG!!! Would you ever consider keeping it on this build table? That set could shine between those 2 bricks in the background. The oversized blue and yellow 1x1 that is. Like you say "it brings joy to you and calmness". This is a great set and definitely encapsulates the Imagination of LEGO. It's all good stuff!

[@polarlicht4758]

I just love the autumn season, and this set with the yellow leaves looks awesome. Maybe add more leaves and make the tree higher to see how it looks.

[@GuanoLad]

What I like about this set is it feels like a MOC you'd see at a convention. It's not tied to an IP, it has the creativity that amateurs want to put in a set, hidden surprises and clever ideas.

[@danielel-khoury4453]

This is awesome!! Would love to see more stuff like this, re-reviews for sets you love or maybe even a top 10 list of your favourite sets from the year!

[@WATCHINGTHEWATCHERS]

He talks about his favourite sets in the "A look through 1970s/1980s/1990s Lego catalogue"

[@ElenaJuradox]

This casual review was really nice. I enjoyed it a lot 🧡

[@thechames3164]

Another beautifully aesthetic video. I love this new style you’re doing, like the NASA Apollo landing. Flawless entertainment for your hundreds of thousands of fans. Keep, up, the fantastic work!!!!!

[@marloesvissers-schurman8693]

Hi Jang, I really like the format of this video for some smaller sets. I can't believe the amount of work you put in all of your videos. I am really happy each time a new review is uploaded. Thank you! Keep up the awesome work!

[@MidnightCatBrix]

Your set up has gotten so tranquil

[@Randymarsh2069]

love all your reviews but I love this one in particular. The background and is so warm and cozy. I watched it once through and have replayed it a couple times while cleaning my room. Awesome stuff!

[@AtticSnacks]

I'd definitely fill it up with some more autumn leaves and give it a worthy spot.

[@robinsevere7387]

This reminds me of the Animal Planet show called Treehouse Masters

[@lennertvandyck5185]

Set with most leave pieces ever made Jang: It needs more leaves!

[@RavixFourhorn]

I think you should leave that treehouse in the work area with your other plants and lights! It fits in perfectly and it will be nice to look at while you build!

[@ldude3580]

I haven’t wanted a non licensed set this much in a long time. It is a really beautiful set that has really captured my imagination and made me feel really calm... which is odd as I don’t even own it! If I can free up some space I’d love to get hold of it at some point. Something about it really magical to me.

[@defenderprime8046]

I totally agree with you, Jang, this is one special set for sure! It may not go very well in New Jang City (unless you create a new nature area to would encompass the tree house, if you had the space under your city!), this set need to be in a central area, even on a kitchen table because it looks great on every side (sorry if I'm repeating myself from the official review video), or even on a turntable on a shelf somewhere. And as for a few mods, adding a taller tree top would certainly make it more to scale to a real tree of that size, or something close to it, and how about adding a few lights to the lanterns, some inside the houses and one under the campfire, now that would make it super nice! (brainstorming a little bit!)

[@madhatten00]

I like how it goes so well with the candles and ur display.

[@GJBricks]

This is such a beautiful set. I'd been looking at the two small treehouse sets in the creator and friends lines for my city, but this... This is tempting.

[@MG-sy8pj]

That was really interesting. That little turntable is the perfect size for the tree set, which is cool to see. I could see a set like that on a dresser in a bedroom or on a table in a den or living room. Little trickier with a dog of course, but I just mean that when looking at a particular set makes me smile, I put it somewhere I can see it regularly. Thanks for taking the time to expand upon your thoughts on this set.

[@ULSWC]

I...actually like this bassy version of your narration. Makes it somehow more comforting :D

[@jeromymoore9073]

SO glad you put this out. The idea of angling the branches down slightly looks so much better thank you for that! One of the first things I did was tile under the base of the tree because I also agree it looks a bit weird. I also Took the carrot tops and inverted them in most places. Not sure why but they looked funny to me sticking up. love this style of review. Think you should keep the treehouse among the plants and if you do other reviews of this style it will be like the seed that started something new.

[@MinuteMuncher]

Really like it too...I would treat it like a house decoration/artificial plant... but keep it autumnal. Very satisfying! 👍🍁

[@terrywoodward4076]

Great video Jang, I, and I’m sure many of your followers really appreciate this ‘extra’ video on what looks to me like a truly great new set. I will be looking out for this one here in Melbourne as it looks like a ‘must have’ set to me. And finally, let me just add that I think your reviews are the best on KZbin. I watch most of your reviews and put great store on your thoughts and recommendations. Thanks for making the world a little bit brighter Jang. Keep it up please 👍😊

[@grizzly._.]

I'd love to see you add some warm-coloured lights to the interiors of the three cabins and showing us what that'd look like. I can imagine this looking even more inviting and pleasant with a little dusk (IRL room) lighting and some warm light glowing out of the windows.

[@splat668]

Grizzly let’s get this too a top comment, imagine a romantic sunset shelf

[@brickcollisionanimation6704]

Love this new idea Also I prefer the yellow leaves

[@PaladinHeart]

You could incorporate the tree a themed restaurant, like a rain forest or jungle atmosphere, and the treeehouse is there for kids to play. At the base of the tree could be all the dining tables and you could basically build the restaurant around the tree (while changing the base of course). Alternatively, the whole tree could be the top of a building where they sell camping and/or DIY supplies.

[@LG-jt3lr]

I appreciate the additional video with your overall thoughts on this set. Perhaps you can display that set somewhere else around your house. Also I genuinely enjoy the videos you do about your thoughts about upcoming sets and then your overall thoughts after you've built all the sets of a particular theme's wave of sets. Please keep them coming. We watch because your we like to hear your insight especially with all your experience.

[@trex6052]

You should make a small baseplate called jangcountry that has trees and is a big farm that would be cool

[@finnvanrijn1704]

I would place the treehouse somewhere everyone can see it. I mean if it’s really one of your favorite LEGO sets than you have to display it in an special way! I would place it on a (noticeable) shelf with lots and lots of pretty plants around it, to really make the set look special and celebrating the Beaty of nature✨🌿🌱🍀☘️

[@Marvin_R]

I think it fits better in the center of a table, as it doesn't have a bad/play side. every side is a display side.

[@wayward-saint]

This format would be a great way to casually re-view your other favorite sets. The tree house is definitely one of my favorites, and I haven’t even gotten it yet.

[@liamwilson6693]

That background looks amazing, and creates a really calm and relaxing environment for your videos Jang. Is it real wood or a wallpaper made to look like wood??

[@Aphyxl]

It always sounds like he is talking SUPER close to the microphone 🎤 but then you realize that it’s just his normal voice 🤣

[@TheSamuraiSnowman]

Hi Jang, long time viewer here. I really value your opinions on sets, I love that you took the time to make this video! I feel more or less the same way you do about this set and hearing that it is among your all-time favorites is quite interesting. I personally think it's right up there with 10193 Medieval Market Village as one of the best sets of all-time. I'm planning on making this set my first over $150 Lego purchase. And I've considering making a lot of the changes/improvements you mentioned in this video. If you do make those changes to this set, I'd love to see a video featuring them! Thanks for all the great videos you put out!

[@gar2yc]

I'm probably late here, but i've been watching the channel since the Bionicle Rahi MOCs, back then i really invested in my collection, but over the last 4 years the super-saturation of licensed themes and the slow death of the constraction lines drove me further away from LEGO and even brought me to dable and enjoy MEGA's super-articulated figs and parts inventory. The Review you did for this set, actually brought me to find my parts' collection, remember the joy i used to have making original stuff on LCad and then building it in physical form. Althought it didn't make me get back into LEGO, it helped me take the final step into donating it to my cousin who's getting to his AFOL phase, and seeing his joy made me actually happy, my time with LEGO is done, but the bricks will bring joy to someone once again.

[@Funky_Player2]

This video idea seems kinda cool

[@jjones2582]

I agree with this being a fascinating set. I think there is something about building trees and organic shapes out of Lego that is just more awesome than anything else one can build. I love science fiction more than most and really liked the space sets and castle sets as a kid, but for some reason my utmost favorite sets were the Forestmen sets. Those were awesome. Maybe it's just all the the green color. I don't know.

[@WhatTheBrickTV]

The angled-down branches change the look dramatically for the better. I would love to see more tree added to the top of the canopy. More leaves. Please make that a video of you end up modifying this set!

[@ArtfulAmy]

Maybe you could build a campground retreat on the outskirts of town featuring the treehouse as well as smaller woodsy builds like Lakeside Lodge (with the brick-built moose of course!).

[@shynocru7783]

the set and your background make you feel calm

[@uncletatscreativeshack1702]

I love this set and need to add it to my collection! I think I like the fall colors the best. This looks perfect right here where it is as some of the other viewers have pointed out

[@omnitheus5442]

With the change of the foliage Lego should have included new plates for the grass too... Maybe a little snow or or pale green or yellow grass.

[@BlueToad6456]

Keep it as a relaxing decoration in your bedroom!

[@ULSWC]

I also LOVE this casual re-view. Here's hoping you'll do more of those in the future :)

[@ValosiTiamata]

This was quite a pleasant departure from the normal review, and I hope you do more like it in future for sets you feel particularly strongly about. I can think of a couple options for what to do with the build. Daniel Johanson's suggestion of making it a part of your buildspace is a great idea. It would also look great elsewherte in the house tucked among houseplants as a sort of hidden treasure for visitors to find (so long as it's placed in a canine-safe spot, of course). It could also be nice to add it to one of your work stations or cleaning spaces (such as the sink in NJC's room) where it might not always be visible, but will be there whenever you're using that space.

[@Nikdo96]

Could you please set it next to NINJAGO City set? I need to know how high is this so I know for sure it would fit :D

[@outsider238]

I don't know how you guys are building this in 6-8 hours. It took me at least double that time! Haha! I'm a slow builder though. I did make some modifications on mine. I couldn't stand that green toilet paper so I used a white cylinder piece instead to make it look normal. I didn't like that the pulley piece on the basket pulley was sideways which wouldn't actually work so I used a hollow stud and a faucet piece sideways so the pulley is vertical and looks correct. I also added a couple of bunnies roaming around on the grounds just for fun. I also notched the top branches up one spot so the tree doesn't look quite so flat on top.

[@vonfragyou]

I finished this set yesterday and it quickly took a place next to London bridge on my desk. The build was awesome and has so many different pieces.

[@dwaynegoodyear9149]

I agree with pretty much everyone that this was a nice relaxing video I had no issues with it what so ever. The background was a nice touch also sometimes a move from the same ol white wash studio background to a more eye pleasing setting works well but it tied it all together cheers my buddy

[@Aces_n_eights_115]

I enjoyed this review, it was almost a Personal type of review. Almost like you did the review in this space for every single person that is watching it...

[@KhanKristopher]

You could put it in your under the table dino area. Like it's the home of some stranded minifigs like a land of the lost kind of Easter egg.

[@RichardBRiddick-n7x]

These videos just appreciating the products are really good.

[@christophernorman4985]

I like hear your personal thoughts and feelings both good and bad. And I definitely wana know your favorites. Because of you I’ll end up buying this set.

[@lurkenvoncurken518]

Great vid Jang, the audio sounds fine! Keep up the great work

[@1776PonySoldier]

Just got this for Christmas today!! So awesome.

[@kendog84bsc]

If you put this down in the Melemby, it might look cool if you make it look as if the sun light is coming through a hole on the ceiling, lighting only this small portion of area surrounding this tree house so the area is preserved, or purified like, de-polluted, so the plants can grow or remain healthy.

[@WATCHINGTHEWATCHERS]

There would be no natural light down there.

[@michaelminton1224]

If you have the box, you can simply collapse it down just to fit it in and keep it in storage until you want enjoy it again and you can reassemble in a few minutes. I do that with all my Legos and it works out fine especially with the Christmas sets every year.

[@JD45OIP]

You could buy a second version of the same set then combine them to make more of an Ewok village style set, and use some of the parts to extend it higher up?

[@robin2thek]

I love this video. Talking about the set. It’s just nice.

[@cmckenna]

Jang, absolutely love your videos! I agree that this is one of the best sets that I've seen from Lego recently too! In the video, you move the camera forward with ease, and your arms are easily moving and you look comfortable: how are you supporting your camera in this video?! It's like it's on an easy to manoeuvre head with an arm? Checked your FAQs, but couldn't see anything on that. Thanks!

[@Alan-wt5gj]

Hi Jang! Why don’t you make a top 5 favorite sets video. I think many of your followers would really appreciate that. Thanks and have a calm one.

[@MTBSoja]

Just heading out to Denmark tomorrow. Definitely going to Legoland and praying they have this in stock

[@jimmyyasuda]

That turntable setting is so nice I wanna put the set on an auto turntable, light it up inside each room with warm color lights, and use it as a nightstand :)

[@outsider238]

I'm glad you're not going to take it apart. This set really is a work of art and peaceful to look at and deserves to be displayed. I'm half way through building mine and I love it already.

[@gvlproductions7112]

Nice review the background looks awesome!!!

[@dd_zzero6827]

Great review Jang. Btw, I just picked up 4 full cups of regular green leaves at the pick a brick wall at the local Lego store. I couldn't believe they had it!! You might want to check it out. With a little modification maybe you can put it in a park with other trees in the city. It could be an attraction that the minifigs can come and see. But I know you have to make room for it. Just a suggestion.

[@Natharneal]

Dark green with regular green and putting some lights in it would look amazing.

[@urshurakdieohnekanal9291]

It looks better with the branches curving down. And I prefer the autumn-version, could be my age ;-). Very nice video!

[@sarunassirvinskas8361]

Ok, I'm making an order right now :) How about mixing summer leaves with autumn ones? I wonder how it would look. I'm already imagining how I put a lot of minifigures to this set. Also I'm seeing green frog sitting near the river and more animals running around. Awesome set, can't wait to put my hands on it :)

[@Corvus_Feathercloak]

personally this it looks too good to take apart I would love to get this set unfortunately I don't have the money right now I probably won't ever have the money cuz it's probably really expensive a lot of The LEGO ideas sets are close to $200 to $300 but I think you should maybe make some kind of rural area in new Jang City I'm thinking somewhere near the mountain and the zoo where a lot of these country or outdoorsy theme sets would fit in nicely but it's your city it's your rules keep up the great videos JangBricks!

[@andykillsu]

My favorite LEGO set is the Eiffel Tower 10181. After building it myself it is just amazing and remarkable that connecting bricks with 1x1 studs is strong enough to support the structure.

[@Tscott99]

If I had the set and your layout, I'd be thinking of trying to fit it by the mountain, maybe put a wooden cabin nearby. Like a small vacation area for the city.

[@333trouble8]

We constantly try and fit new sets in our towns or cities, it usually turns into a mess over time but you never know what might work until you try it, so I think you can build things like the tree house and make a small display to go along with it, I myself have made a 48x48 baseplate with a water section where the stream on the side is falling into the pond I built using the ninjago water method...it just so happens after I built the display I found a spot... I have a massive water area where the tree house will fit in, on the outside of my Japanese garden build near my theme park..it might not stay there if the transition looks wrong. but it's a spot I feel it could work and I'm glad i tried it out... you never know where it might fit!

[@danalexsmith]

Love this casual review 💚 Do you have somewhere just outside your doorway it would fit? ...if you live in a city it may be pleasant to have it has an outdoor piece maybe with some real water running through it?

[@johnlant1730]

Keep it on your build desk! Looks good there!

[@olitristan3056]

It would look great in the background of this studio

[@DaMnUFo0]

All right. I am sold. I guess I'm heading to the Lego Store sometime this week. Thanks for the review.

[@MaartendeNatris]

I was hoping for this video! I thought the first review video could use more of your opinion, which I value a lot more than the overview of the set

[@demanvandemaan]

I agree with the others that this would make a nice background thing in studio B. Maybe just for a while? It just fits with the whole home-y, calming atmosphere you've got going on there. (In Dutch we have an untranslatable word for it: gezellig!) I also totally agree with you on the greatness of this set! I'm not sure why I like it so much, but it just resonates on my level for some reason. Maybe just because it's a nice thought, being out in nature, having your own cool little space to play and frollick about... Very well put together by Lego! This is all the way up on my "to get" list, mostly thanks to your (as ever) very well done review. This concept of you talking more "off the record" about sets is something I hope to see more of! Your views on Lego and the world in general are so interesting and nice to hear, so I would love to enjoy more content like that!

[@eucliid2370]

This new style of background gives a great vibe! Please make more videos like this!👌👌👌👍👍

[@NutSucker-ft7zn]

Hi jang this is an interesting concept

[@stanleyong7638]

Beautiful tree 🌲 house 🏡. I have to get this 😊

[@razeerr226]

Love your "stream of consciousness" narrative!

[@WW2BRICKS]

I love the background for the review. Who has got a white board at home? So, it looks more realistic. I would love to see the tree houses with lights inside? Greetings
