Lego ALMOST Made the Greatest Gift With Purchase of All Time

[@SW_Bricks]

The quality of this video is awesome! I came to JBS for the comedy.. stayed for the calming review!

[@SkyKid002]

"They say he had a crazy reason for circumnavigating the world... i say he had a loco motive" 😅😂😂💀⚰️

[@wai0937]

I don’t know anything about this subject but I love that JBS does and can make an in-depth video like this about it.

[@pta3407]

I'm not a fan of GWPs, but being a big Jules Verne fan myself, this one I had to have. Ended up buying the Notre Dame to get it - figured might as well keep the theme French. Absolutely love the JV Tribute, even though its such a small set, the subject matter and how it was executed is spot on and is one of my absolute favourite sets in my entire Lego collection placed proudly on top of my Jules Verne books. The only point I really must disagree with you on is, if Lego does indeed make a large scale Nautilus set, you won't be the first in line as that would be me 😉

[@TheBrickBods]

Loco Motive was my fave pun! I'm very grateful that even as a parent, I've never had blippi inflicted upon me!

[@erict5138]

I loved the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea ride at Disney too! Got to go on it during my first Disney World trip in 1988.

[@JoshBuildsStuff]

I just need to make it out to Tokyo DisneySea to experience the 20,000 leagues ride there.

[@AbsolutelyJason]

Cool!

[@waider]

The ref to Blippi 😅

[@brickbunniestv7184]

I must admit, I really like that you are wearing a victorian-style outfit. Its classically smashing.

[@Studlake]

I was beginning to believe this day would never come.

Took a while to pick the best ascot to compliment this set.

Super cool set! I think we were both captivated by the 20,000 Leagues ride at Disney as kids!

[@OaktownBricks]

Great Video! The green screen was so amazing that it almost looked real!

[@Chi-bricks]

I know very little of the subject matter, so I'm sure I missed a lot of your puns. However, I did laugh out loud--and cry inwardly--when you mentioned B-L-I-P-P-I. 😅 Thanks for the great video as always!

[@AbsolutelyJason]

Locomotive.....OMG! Got me!!!! lol!!!!!!!

[@richardblakely6854]

I’ve been a moderate Verne fan since seeing an exhibition with props from the 1954 movie a long time ago. I was looking forward to it since it was announced, and well worth paying full price for certain other sets I’m order to acquire it.

[@TheBrickQuest]

The classic Disney 20,000 leagues under the sea has always been a favorite of mine. Great review of the set!

[@roelhendrickx4302]

Great (biased, haha) review. I always come for the Lego news and I stay for the humour. Some truly superb puns in this one. "Loco Motive" is probably my favourite one, but it is the winner by a nose length in a strong field.

[@joannakinsey6696]

Oh, I also bought the Durmstrang ship to get this set! Plus the HP spider. I'm not a fan of spiders, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do for the free GWP.

[@LodanSD]

I remember watching a show on the Sci Fi Channel that was similar to 20k Leagues Under the Sea! Ok, so I guess the show was called "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" from Irwin Allen, who also did Lost in Space, The Time Tunnel, and Land of the Giants. And now I REALLY want to watch all four of those again!!!

[@JoshBuildsStuff]

The sub from Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea is definitely one of the other great sci fi submarines from yesteryear

[@joannakinsey6696]

All that badgering finally paid off! And it was worth the wait if the wait was due to the procurement of that fabulous outfit. Super enjoyed the Thoreau reference as well. And hey, if the rumors of Ernest Shackleton's Endurance ship are true (FABulous book), I think there's a definite chance of a Lego Nautilus. I'd buy it. And the Endurance. And now I want the Charles Dickens tribute GWP as well. Right then, I'm off to convince the husband that the custom bookshelves I had built for the "fancy" room should not be just for books anymore. Wish me luck.

[@JoshBuildsStuff]

I forgot about that upcoming Endurance ship and I have SUCH high hopes for that set. Should be a really good size for the rumored price and has an exclusive GWP.

[@MAllen-ec9by]

Great Review on the set, as I got this because I like the idea of the famous minifigure too. I'm surprised though, that Lego didn't make a theme of this, as it was a good idea and that Lego has basically made most of the sets in one shape or another throughout its history. The Sub for example, the many deep sea diver themes or Atlantis for 20,000 leagues. Mountain climbers rescue /rock raiders, for Journey to the centre of the Earth, Adventure series along with a train set for Around the world in 80 days, Even Journey to the Moon, Etc, so it is possible, plus I'd really like to see that minifigure model of the Disney Sub be made, as that would be a really good reason to get back to buying Lego. Other writers themes they could use, would be HG Wells, Bram Stoker, Mary Shelly, honestly the list is endless.

This video made me want the set lol

[@TatterU]

you speak a lot of strange words, funny man subbed and i look forward to delving into your channel 😂 (real talk though your humor is very clever)

[@MrKlawUK]

I did not know (although makes sense with even slight thought) that 20,000 leagues meant distance, not depth. An unusual phrasing though, to be sure.

[@JoshBuildsStuff]

To be fair, the original title is "20,000 leagues under the seas," which makes more sense. They slightly mistranslated it in english and it became better known as "...under the sea" which is where a lot of the confusion comes from.

[@neilrusling-je6zo]

You will have to fight me if you think YOU will be FIRST in line for that 4000 pieces Nautilus coming out for this Christmas...I hopes.

[@countrabricksbuildcraze8916]

Great vid josh .you got me. Intreved to check out. More about. Him i not a movie buff or book reader as i seed. But he seem intresting. You room back drop look awsome for this vid

[@DerHoschi]

But you didn't named your kids Jules and Verne? Good wife!

[@AbsolutelyJason]

lol

[@Mu-podcast]

I'm so unhappy that this GWP was offered for so short a time. I'll have to go after market for it. I would so love a really cool large Nautilus kit. I'd be find if they went with an original design rather than the Disney one. There are plenty of model kits of original designs for the boat, so why not LEGO? I'd also be all over some HG Wells inspired sets. These stories are public domain and are open to interpretation, why not use them?

[@SweetyNutmeg1]

What do you think about GWP Moving Truck and GWP Vintage Hot Dog Van? I have built them both, and I love how they look! I feel that these two GWPs and yours (as well as future GWP called Reading, Reading, Reading) are all amazing, high quality, good-looking, neat sets.

[@JoshBuildsStuff]

I agree both of those vehicles were super sold sets and would have probably sold well even if they weren't gwps. I am curious about that future Reading gwp and hopeful it might reference actual authors since LEGO's now done that a few times in the past.

[@martinpowers7894]

I enjoyed Verne's books and the old 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Disney movie. However, I am more of a H.G. Wells fan, yet I still have not seen that Invisible Man set.

[@JoshBuildsStuff]

If that was a pun, bravo. There are always H.G. Wells time machines on LEGO Ideas, so there might be a chance for a set someday.

[@jstones9872]

2nd in line for a lego Natulius kit

[@joannakinsey6696]

Are you willing to share which audiobook narrators you like best for Jules Verne books? I have a few credits hanging around I need to use and thought I'd grab some Verne . . . but I didn't expect so many options. Does Tim Curry get the vibe? I dunno. Lol.

[@JoshBuildsStuff]

My only strong preference is Peter Hussman reading 20,000 Leagues. Otherwise as long as it sounds like an old-timey man with decent pronunciation, I'm good. I think I have heard good things about Tim Curry's audiobook narrations, but haven't listened to any personally.
