6:28 Correction: In Sonic Chaos, You Actually Do Need To Find The Chaos Emeralds In Special/Bonus Stages. I Think You're Confusing It With 8bit Sonic 1 And 2, Where You Have To Find Them In The Zones Like You Said

[@just2good]

oops my bad!

[@Xuga027]

@@just2goodHow much does the cheapest set costs? (in euro) if you know?

[@cxthednalien]

In Sonic Tripe Trouble you can find the special stages in the zones themselves through boxes with the chaos emerald symbol

[@Livcsy987]

Oh, man, feel loose. I will tell you about this because if nobody will buy your set then because. Because they already make a lack of figure of customer makeovers like shadow and knuckles and hills. And everybody like you got a loose I think you can lose today

I believe Lego were the ones that decided not to give minifigures, might be wrong though, also good joke!

@@nochs_brother_2 Yeah, the ones I'm talking about just came out this year. But since the movie, other Mario minifigures have also been released but the ones from WM Blocks are the best out there in my opinion.

[@EllieoftheBog]

I think the fact that these have play features that consistently work is genuinely outstanding. Having these be not frustrating to play with is just gonna make them sell incredibly well. The fact sonic consistently runs through the levels from what you’ve demonstrated is something rare for lego.

[@Lordodragonss]

Yes its VERY impresive!

[@OkayYaraman]

Again, $100 for this is actually an AMAZING price when you compare it to the Stuntz sets that also have these loops, but cost a lot more even though they’re smaller and aren’t licensed.

[@Nerdtendo6366]

As a huge Mixels fan, Newtron’s eyes makes me happy :)

[@troopsome6254]

I'm amazed how the stunts are actually possible to complete here. I remember being frustrated with Chima Speedorz as they were very hard to get right.

[@NickonPlanetRipple]

Hmmmm.... if you remove the arms from the combined mech, you basically have the walker from Sonic Adventure 2.

[@Slaymisi]

Wait, so I can recreate one of the funnier scenes from the fandub... I miss my wife tails, I miss her alot, I'll be back

[@Kyezoar]

I feel like with Mechs they REALLY need to make a theme like Exo-force where it's a central focus and not just made for the sake of mechs. Cause the Death Egg Robot and Egg Walker build are exactly that, a mech that fits within the theme and does't feel out of place.

[@TheOmegazerox]

I remember exo force. Had menny and built my owne. With all the mechs lego does that them would be great to reboot with modern lego pieces. I wouldn't demand or exspect the same story but a fresh start maby even a diferant name like mech battlers or somthing. Maby even something like using mechs in a tourniment battle betwean charecters or teams with some cheaters willing to cheat and play dirty to win.

[@Dystopian-toast]

Your genuinely one of my favourite Lego KZbinrs thank you for keeping my interest in the brand alive 😊

[@just2good]

Aw thank you so much for the kind words!!!

[@KOTSOSMC2002]

I got the Loop Challenge on August 1st and have been messing around with it ever since, doing a few loopty loops every morning before going to work. It works every single time, it consistently works. I've seen so many reviews where people miss the loop, I'm actually a bit flabbergasted.

[@Songal18]

Yeah THIS is the Eggman we all want XD I love the animals actually. Uh huh this is a great set even for the price.

[@Kim-Pine]

This set seems great but I think out of the whole wave I just rather get the Death Egg robot and the smaller Amy set to get the figures from this one. It's a shame I'll be missing out on this cool playset but I just don't have the room for this massive playset and mostly want the minifigures

[@TheOmegazerox]

Just what I did. You get Tails in the Amy animal rescue set too. I prefer building for display and don't actually play with them. I do like to add features or create scenes or poses with figures. I like mixxing figures like Sonic and Stich or Gonzo for a good laugh so I want figures.

[@joseeduardocarreira198]

I can't be the only one who wants to build an eggman with Hulk's arms instead of his normal ones, right?

[@just2good]

i will for a cursed vid lol

[@BahamutStriker]

Funny enough in the Sonic Central yesterday they knowledged the Brick Built Eggman from the ideas set

[@brandonharristsw7516]

13:25 I think it’s showing us that the sets has the chaos emeralds

[@SwiftpawWolffox]

That tree isn't the best play feature execution but they at least tried to replicate aspects of the games. Though personally I'd just rebuild it to lock in place and Neutron perched on it to snipe at Sonic. The rest of this set is really good at recreating the feel of Sonic, and the Tall Leg Minifig version of Eggman is better than the Ideas brick built one for the most part, even without a posable head. Just looks a ton better. And that mech build replicates how the Eggmobile attachs to other mechs to operate them really well.

[@explosion_cartoons]

WHY COULDN’T THE MARIO LEGO SETS BE THIS GOOOOOOD😭😭😭😭

[@kristinphelps1846]

The spinning feature is like the home alone set where its nearly impossible to get Kevin through the door on the sled

[@maskdude6914]

We need a wave 2 consisting of Knuckles, Shadow, and Metal Sonic

[@brandonharristsw7516]

You know I’ve been thinking of trying to do something once those sets are out, I still remembered what it is. Hope it’s good enough I get a lot views just like the original

[@talkinghoorse6936]

Eggman has technic slots in his shoulders, that means you can insert Bigfig arms into the figure lol

[@just2good]

trust me, cooking uo some cursed figs

[@flyingsquirrel64]

The little pool float was used in the sonic 3&k end cutscene in sonic origins. When the death egg crashed and flicky popped the float.

[@AbsolutelyJason]

Great review! Thanks, Justin!

[@brenlc1412]

I just realized Sonic is winking his pupil instead of his eye.

[@felipechan]

This is one I'm planning to buy, not because of sonic but the loop! So I can make a 4 colours quadruple loops challenge for my Stuntz bike and see if I can pull that off XD

[@kayleebliss5738]

I wish they would make a lego sonic block that has a screen like lego Mario that just plays music and sound effects. I think sound is very under utilized play feature in LEGO sets , and while I think the Mario sets were a bit of a gimmick, the animated faces and sounds really added a lot of value to the sets IMO. Sonic deserves the same treatment

[@lego_goomba]

That would be weird it would be fat sonic that eat to much chilly dog's

[@capybara2671]

Mechs aren't inherently bad. They just have to make sense.

[@lance2580]

I agree with that. I hate how LEGO and Marvel haphazardly give random characters like Thanos or Captain America mechs just for the sake of merchandising. When can LEGO make a set of Peni Parker and SP//dr or get more licenses from Hasbro to create more _Transformers_ sets? Those make sense.

[@MayoHosko]

I appreciate all the improvements over the ideas set

[@just2good]

mayoooo

Awesome reviews on all the Sonic sets man! I’m buying all of them 🤩

[@BrieTheGirlWhoLikesDinos]

Licensed Lego theme with loop pieces: Relatively good price to piece ratio. Unlicensed theme with loop pieces: Out of control price to piece ratio. Way to go Lego. Nice logic.

[@zman5999]

8:15 I believe the float is based on the dinosaur-like enemies that come out of the lava in hill top zone in Sonic 2

[@thatsruffdog]

I wish they used Hagrid’s arms for more figures. I so desperately want a Barret Wallace figure from Final Fantasy VII using those arms. 🙏

[@theanimatorboi1737]

I like how the pool float is a reference to sonic origins, in the 3&K ending cutscene you see eggman floating in the ocean on that pool float :)

[@just2good]

oh shoot nice spot!

Plus the fact that lego sonic’s new moulds are actually being used in sonic superstars for a lego part of the game EDIT: I think this ought be green hill in the new game idk

[@ThunderSpeedStudios]

0:54 8 if you count the hips and the legs separate

[@BiffBaffBuffer]

As wonderful these sets and minifigs are (and I do intend to add them to the collection), LEGO goofed up in a big way when it comes to Amy! I can't be the only one to notice, and I don't want to explicitly state the issue... but: the choice of colour for her hip piece... Revision: The phrase; "Gone commando" is the closest clue I'm prepared to give (If you see the problem, too, do say...)

[@robinrigeway7827]

I really enjoy your videos

[@D.Revealus]

so the best set from this wave for the end 😂😂😂 (i mean death egg robot)

[@Jcmatek]

Hey Justin! I have a video idea! For the end of year you should do a minifigure ranking of the best ones that came out of 2023! Eggman for sure had to go on there!

[@just2good]

Good idea!

[@KylerBMusic]

This is like the Stuntz sets... crazy prices!

[@ABrickinTime]

Now only if they had made this system for Mario instead of the course system being introduced. You would’ve been on cloud 9! 🤩

[@Metalizer]

I like the figs but how about the scuffs on the Sonic's sphere and on the track? Stuntz used to leave nasty scuffs on the loop track very fast, I wonder how is it here.

[@agentspongebob6953]

I think you should do a video where you try and do circular builds like the sphere in the set, maybe like the gyro-sphere like you said and maybe other kinds of builds like that!

[@just2good]

ohhh i like this idea

[@agentspongebob6953]

It'd be cool if you did a video on it!

[@treyvonishere4375]

Fun fact: that inflatable purple float is actually based on a Badnik from Sonic 2 called Rexon and can be found in the lava pits in Hilltop Zone.

[@just2good]

oh wow I didn’t know that!

[@maxcorrice9499]

How does eggman’s flying thing look without the arms and stuff? I think that’s meant to be his basic flying thing that was also in the ideas set

[@nuggetfactory281]

Eggman’s gonna be great for cursed minifigures

[@Ballerthebear]

Just got the set but can’t really tell what the Eggmobile was based off of. Looks a mix of the sonic x Eggmobile with the eggwalker from sonic adventure 2.
