LEGO 6765 Gold City Junction *VINTAGE REVIEW!* - Wild West Retrospective, Ep. 6

[@drumstick1113]

The explosion mechanics of these old sets are so much better than what we have today. Now explosions are done usually with a lever mechanic of some kind. Half the time the explosion isn't that great. But the old explosion was just perfect.

[@Josh_Greathouse]

That explosion is amazing. Had a ton of fun with this as a kid. I love the complex moc, but there is magic to this. I would love a remake of these that isn't too complex. Man I loved this set as a kid.

[@jacobnion2525]

Too bad we didn't get a saloon. But a general store is at lesst one generic building besides the obligatory sheriff's office and bank. I really appreciate how you focus on the play features. The whole fascination and magic with the glorious 90s sets is the combination of the charming simplicity (from today's point of view) and amazingly effective play functions. Many sets of the last years sacrificed just too much of their look mediocre functions (with exceptions). Luckily thing have become better nowadays.

[@TrikBrix]

A saloon would’ve been so cool! But, like I said, it’s understandable why we didn’t get one. And you’re right; most 90s sets not only looked good (especially for the time), they were fun to play with.

[@christopherwilliams9418]

@@TrikBrix IIRC there actually was a saloon in the old Legoland videogame if you need some inspiration!

[@jamiethedinosaur869]

Well a saloon wouldn’t be “kid friendly.” But the best part of this being a Lego set is that you can always build a saloon.

[@trontosaurusrex9532]

The possibility of the builds and set pieces of the Wild West theme were endless. I miss this era of Legos. Great work on the series.

[@TrikBrix]

Thank you! I kinda wish this theme had continued for a few more years, because - like you said - there are so many things you can do with it. I would’ve loved to have seen a train for the bandits to rob!

[@Shadow6212]

Wow, the quallity and the concent of this channel is superb! Instant subscribe!

[@TrikBrix]

Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying it! 😎👍

[@seandilallo8718]

I had this as a kid; it was one of my favourites!

[@juliemiller9294]

Great set! I love that wagon!

[@TrikBrix]

Me too! 😊👍

[@nopunintended5096]

The interior of the general store is more complex than expected, really nice 👌

[@TrikBrix]

I was pleasantly surprised, as well... just a great set all around! Thanks for watching! 😎👍

[@JohnnyBricks]

I want to get into buying LEGOs again, I really want this!

[@MaxfluffTheCoonFox2002]

I love vintage legos from the 80s, 90s and 2000s, this is my favorite set from the wild west line ;)

[@warrenlehmkuhleii8472]

It is criminal that this channel only has 399 subs. This channel is very high quality.

[@TrikBrix]

Thanks so much! I’m glad you like it! 😎👍

[@jamesrussell3756]

I’ve been watching your videos since the very beginning, with the Exploriens set. Without a doubt some of the best vintage set reviews ever to land on KZbin. Awesome set! Keep it up!

[@TrikBrix]

Wow, thanks so much! Glad you’ve been enjoying them! 😎👍

[@ClassicBrickStudios]

I agree. He really does an amazing Job with his videos

[@maryi685]

My friend had some sets of this series. Such a cool theme. Always wanted it. I don't think I'll get such rare sets but I'm thinking about building sets with analogue pieces with instructions.

[@RoninCatholic]

Any time I got chrome gold coins, I always kept the sprue and treated it like a gold nugget worth more than the coins themselves. Personally I prefer the 1x1 round plates in regular yellow from classic Castle and the 1x1 round tiles in pearl gold from more recent sets.

[@thomaspaine4670]

I'm glad to hear I wasn't the only person who kept the gold sprue lol. I still keep them.

[@jamiethedinosaur869]

I used the sprue for that too.

[@susancalles5389]

Legoredo was the best the closest thing we got was the Lone Ranger sets

[@TrikBrix]

I really wish the Lone Ranger movie would’ve been better received, because the sets we got for it were amazing, and I would’ve loved to have seen what else they could come up with had the line continued. Thanks for watching! 😎👍

[@mikepalmer392]

I only wanted the union soldiers but wish they did a bit better on those sets they had good detail here and there still

[@natanlego]

great set

[@mikepalmer8760]

Poor Banker....lol eh they have made Many but to few sets they shuld have made more wild western building's maybe a Saloon town square or even put a bit more detail in the Union Army Calvary,Infantry, even have some Altelery I wish I culdive gotten the Altelery wagon 6716 but they shuldive added few things for it an extra soldger in front for a gunman and an special crate to hold a few cannon ball's right behind the cannon. I wish they culd do an anaversery and Put the old set back out into stores and make and announcement of it. Keep up the video's! Thanks for the old memories man I had gotten only one set that was the 3 soldiers lol still have them but lost the general's hat but added lone ranger soldiers from the newer version to make an platoon love theyse sets!

[@Thunderwing88]

That hammer is supposed to be an axe, I bought this set when it first came out. I still have most of the pieces, instructions, and box.

[@TrikBrix]

You’re absolutely right... I guess that’s the kind of stuff that happens when you buy used sets, lol. Thanks for pointing it out! 😎👍

[@Steven_Andreyechen]

Another great video, I’m really enjoying this theme of videos!

[@TrikBrix]

Thanks, Steven! Glad to hear it! 😎👍

[@rijkemans5114]

I don't own Fort Legoredo (yet), but my cousin and friend had one, and I played with it a lot. I still think this one is my favourite. The sort of civilian life is missing in a lot of sets in the historical themes, so I'm glad this one does. The state of the stickers on your copy, especially the waggon, made me anxcious. I use the soldier as the driver, so that the one unique figure can be used in the store. An additional minifigure or two could've been useful, maybe a woman (beside the Indians, not a single woman to be found in the West?) and I wouldn't have minded to sacrifice the cannon to stay within the price range. I do think the whole Western/Wild West theme could've used more variety in the minifigures. What I mean with that is use different faces, different hats, scarf or no scarf et cetera. Deputy Dan for example always has the same torso, face, pants and hat combo. You can switch it yourself obviously, but if you build the theme as per instructions, you'll end up with many identical deputy's, identical black Bart's, identical Flatfoot Thomsen's. Pirates did a much better job in this regard.

[@jonsix1928]

your videos are great, you will have thousands of subscribers in to time. best of luck

[@TrikBrix]

Thanks so much, Jon! I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos! 😎👍

[@rockyfanatic6846]

How many Lego 2010 semi trucks could take the 2 set buildings and the wagon

[@Johndal84]

I love this Retro Lego Sets like WildWest, Knights or Pirates. 👍

[@gregwhipple390]

ikr

[@kylefrank638]

Fright Knights would be great to see, maybe after he's through with all of Adventurers.

[@abominabletruthman]

Great video and content - you have a new follower! I always wanted this set as a kid but never did get it, I'm afraid. But, this was as good as having it. Thanks for the nostalgia!

[@bindair_dundat]

I had all the Western sets back as a kid, apart from the Indian ones. Sold them about 10 years ago for dirt cheap just to free up space. I regretted it. Especially since my sister has a kid now who would probably love it in a year or two.

[@jamiethedinosaur869]

The armored wagon reminds me of the one from the John Wayne movie “The War Wagon” which had a Gatling gun on it IIRC

[@TheRealMFDIS]

I have this beautiful set, I bought it nearly complete, IMO that is my favorite wild west/western set released

[@SkeeterDraws]

I'm a little late in discovering this channel, but the content is amazing! I only had the Calvary battle pack, but I could be easily seduced into collecting the whole line!

[@monkeybro162]

Just found your channel I love your content

[@tfGalvatron1]

Man that kinda makes me want to build a vintage style saloon moc to go with this theme

[@salausi]

I Gott that Set thus year dir Christmas IT IS realy cool i Love IT Just Like your Channel

[@mikepalmer392]

Looks like the same wooden walls used in a few sets I'd just add bout 4 more extending the store a bit and white walls for the store as well o wish they added more of those black fencing

[@NeonSupernovaUPW]

Man I wanted this set so bad when I was a kid.

[@coletteamber]

The money wagon is to transport money to the vault.

[@BB-nn9en]

One of the last series to still look like lego.

[@Didojuice]

idk why but every time I see these old LEGO sets/themes (Space, Town, Pirates, Castle, and Western), they remind me of the 50's to 60's Gumby cartoon

[@TrikBrix]

Haha, that’s an interesting thought correlation! Gotta love Gumby! 😎👍

[@Didojuice]

I used to love that show so much when I was younger

[@martinturecky5272]

The cannon is from different set western dont have the top emblem this one was in pirates set in different times

[@shampo0oLWD]

9:46 🤣

[@johnsinth8261]

transporting large sums of money would have been a risky business back then

[@daviddecamp5783]

Lego made a saloon in 1970s Western type of town planner

[@TrikBrix]

I’ve seen pictures of that set, but I’ve never had my hands on one. I really wish they would’ve made one for the 90s Wild West theme - that would’ve been so cool!

[@couchpotatoe91]

A saloon would have to be its own, unique set. One of the reasons it didn't get made probably was because they wouldn't have gotten away with a simple front and some tables inside. That said it could be a wonderful "LEGO ideas"-set, don't you think?

[@raygallagherjr8851]

Nice

[@daviddecamp5783]

Lego didn't make a saline bag 1970s for a town planner set of the western type

[@gregwhipple390]

is it just me or does it look like the older LEGO sets were better

[@salausi]

Does someone know how to build the alternative builds

[@ClassicBrickStudios]

I dont know why, but I have those minifigs (Banker and the other guy) even tho I don't own this set. So I guess I can consider myself lucky 😁

[@TrikBrix]

Lucky for sure! 😄👍

[@ClassicBrickStudios]

@@TrikBrix also the Sets I got myself for christmas arrived and I think Achu has to be the coolest and most detailed minifigure ever made. In all my Collection he instantly became my favourite

[@TrikBrix]

He is pretty great... I love his cape design and headdress. You’ll definitely be seeing him on this channel before too long! 😎👍

[@ClassicBrickStudios]

@@TrikBrix I sure hope so. I was planning on getting myself the ancient ruins set. But that one is so hard to find for an okay price. Ebay 200-400 euros + 40 euros shipping. And you cant buy the plate alone that it is build on. I look forward to those videos. Also to your pirates series :-)

[@TrikBrix]

Not to spoil my future review of Amazon Ancient Ruins, but I thought I would like it a lot more than I do... and I got a decent deal on it @ $100. It’s cool, but even what I payed seems like too much for what you get. Maybe it’ll grow on me before I do season two of the Adventurers, but it’s nowhere near the set that Pharaoh’s Forbidden Ruins is, IMO.

[@gregwhipple390]

im probibly late to this channle i wished he did not stop it :(

[@notcwyatt]

I wish the wagon sold separately, and the bank is a bit bright colored

[@quacky181]

sorry for bad english i from sweden

[@TrikBrix]

No worries! Thanks so much for watching! 😎👍
