[@lancemaltby895]

What's with all these comments with people bitching about the price? Lego puts out the Death Star, a feature build on a licensed property, charges 800$ for 5000 pcs. How is 300$ for 3500 pcs to build Castle Greyskull a problem? And by the way, Mega Construx doesn't use stickers. Not that I don't enjoy Lego as much as I do Mega, but it's beyond time building block hobbyists stop slamming Mega Construx and begin appreciating the brand for what it is. The only viable alternative to Lego and the only brand that could push Lego into being innovative again.

[@gapelle7867]

I couldn't have said it better myself friend :)

[@dedelebon]

Agree.

[@lancemaltby895]

I just received an order from Entertainment Earth and found the Castle Greyskull set listed at 250$ in their catalog. 300$ must be in Canadian dollars. Using the Lego Darth Vader's Castle set for a closer comparison, I calculated the piece cost. Vader's Castle, at 130$ for 1060 pcs works out to 12 cents American per pc. Castle Greyskull, at 250$ for 3508 pcs works out to 7 cents American per pc. I suppose the extra 5 cents per pc is to pay for all the stickers Lego will include. Myself, I'll be picking up both sets, but next year may have to make some choices when Mega starts releasing sets under the Game of Thrones license I heard they picked up.

[@jaraxel888]

my bitching is I've never been able to find it in Canada :-(

[@TheMiggy75]

Lego actually puts out quality product. That's why

[@XxHordakxX]

MOTU stuff is always so nice to look at. All these colours and fantastic characters. This is no exception

[@efunaony6234]

Agreed sir

[@mathieu4204]

I wish Mega Construx would just launch a full MOTU line instead of trickling down characters through the Heroes line like they are doing right now.

[@parcelohssa2243]

100%.

[@gapelle7867]

They're doing it next year. They have plans to ditch the Heroes line and do a full on MOTU figure line.

[@verenceable]

As a LEGO Fan and born in time He-Man coming up, i Love it . Its Great build. Cool Details und really good Figures. Im not a great He-man Fan ( i only owned 2 Figures in childhood) but this is a needfull thing. Mega is a really good alternative to Lego . I own the ST Anniversary Sets and there are great . Expecially the Box Design far better than Lego. Thats UCS Feeling to me . And the Price ....damn good .

[@CattyMintgum]

I hope Mega Construx continues to go strong and get more sets out not just for Heman but other licenses too because they really have potential to be amazing. the Mini Figures alone are perfect.

[@Friariello91]

MC is great, but hands break easily, they need to improve minifigures structure and/or plastic

[@berwinenzemann3468]

Finally the gate is big enough for He-Man to ride through on Battle-Cat... if they ever do a Battle-Cat figure.

[@gapelle7867]

In the future probably

[@nathanemery2690]

@@gapelle7867 "in the future, probably"... thats a solid bet, as there isn't presently one, and none was produced in the past :-p FYI there is a Roton vs Battle Cat coming out next year.

[@vindiaz2924]

Now there is a Battle Cat and Panthor.

[@darthgiggity7948]

Greetings from the future. We have the Battlecat and Panthor Mega Construx toys. But it they are really difficult to purchase at their shelf price. Scalpers and hoarders got a hold of them really fast.

[@SeansModelBuilds]

@@darthgiggity7948 So should I consider myself lucky that I found a flocked Skeletor Panther from Mega Construx at ToysRUs a few days ago?

[@meaniestora]

holy batman!!!!! this is one of the masterpiece mega construx set

[@daveyvalor2610]

I am absolutely floored by the quality of this product. THey went above and beyond and paid attention to every small detail. It's worth every penny if you ask me! Great review as always Pixel Dan!

[@omniriven9806]

They started rocky, I had Halo construx sets and they always, ALWAYS missed a small amount of bricks. And the bricks were loose. But the recent small MOTU sets were complete (thank god) and the pieces stick together better now.

[@SeansModelBuilds]

I build scale models as a hobby, but I have just realized that Construx(1980s Version) was my first model building experience. Oh and Air Raiders also. I will post videos of my collections in coming weeks.

[@kingkahn11]

I have the set and love it! I used the extra pieces left over to beef up the stone work.

[@paladox1771]

If only Mega Construx had given Monster High the same amount of love and attention to detail. Great review! Can't wait to put this one together myself. I'll be grabbing an extra if they ever go down to 60% or less. It's already down to $180 at Wal-Mart.

[@artistpoet5253]

I got mine. Not disapointed in the very least. Price is ok for building toys. I remember when it was Megablox and the bricks would come loose after a month on display (looking at you, Enterprise D). I'm really looking forward to more models and figures. Snake Mountain is a must!

[@shawnhull9988]

I hope Mattel keeps pumping out MOTU. I love this line and will keep buying. My only complaint is they are already doing exclusives that will command scalper prices.

[@superpan218]

Mega Construx MOTU most wanted: * Evil Horde Slime Pit * Evil Horde Fright Zone * Snake Mountain * Point Dread with the Talon Fighter

[@godkingzulu]

She-Ra, the Rebellion, the Horde, the Snake Men. It just isn't MOTU for me without them...

[@smallvillefan72]

I hope they give us Snake 🐍 Mountain ⛰

[@LtCaveman]

@Imran Corey One would need a GF for this sale, sir. No sale.

[@torquetheprisoner]

they have its abou 300

[@angryarchitect]

I just bought it for $130 on Amazon and it's the most fun Ive had in years.

[@darkstarderg4710]

Best play set ever! Can't wait to get it and do stop motion! Zodak approves.

[@thadeusbaggins9967]

Then Zodak will certainly approve of the prototype Zodak figure shown here: www.megaconstrux.com/en-us/community/forums/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=5281&start=20

[@ronanmenezes5639]

Thats a most impressive toy made of blocks for building that see in my life. Awesome

[@wallbieswarriors]

Just picked mine up from Think Geek in Tulsa today. I told the guy "I'm the only person with a Castle Grayskull." He was like "yeah, it's our only one." Then I kinda laughed and said "yeah, that He-Man guy is here."

[@efunaony6234]

Awesome review Dan if I had the space and money it would be an instant purchase

[@michaelkoukaras7515]

This was an amazing set to build, took me about 4 days to finish. Displays awesome and just looks fantastic!

[@jommysalami227]

I hope they do a talon fighter and point dread to go with this

[@haiyuanguo7338]

July 2020，you can get it

[@PokeDread84]

I just got mine in ! Now that ive seen the Review, i can start Building !!

[@artistpoet5253]

OK, WOW! Finally finished my copy of the castle and I am not disapointed! So many cool features and loads of fun to build. Only thing is: what to do with all the extra pieces I have? I know what you're thinking, "are you sure you built it right?" and yep, I did. I guess I could make some field works or maybe just some random terrain...

[@josejr8474]

Looks great!!! I will get this for sure!!

[@Craplatte]

I'm currently building this (only the last section left) and it's such a great set! If Mega Construx comes out with more MOTU stuff at this quality level, they'll have a fan for life :-)

[@kyleg.macatuno2946]

I wanna find that, also thank you PixleDan for getting me hooked up on Masters of the Universe, if I find this set and reveiw it I wanna give you a shout out, you are amazing

[@Mind_of_MATT]

This is too awesome! I've never cared for legos or building but as someone who owned the orig Grayskull in my childhood this hits my nostalgia buttons for MOTU. How difficult would it be for me to come in fresh & build this thing? Are the instructions pretty clear? The parts separated out sounds good.

[@danielwilliamson6180]

Great Castle Greyskull playset. I wish one day Lego will do He-Man. I'd love to buy a He-Man Lego minifigure.

Awsome Action Figure review

[@reventonrowe6111]

Probably the only CG I can afford

[@Rustyjamesman]

this is soooo cool!

[@omniriven9806]

Overall brick grip quality has gone up since the first Halo sets from Mattel and the sets I have so far are complete (they weren't in the old Halo days). Very tempted to get this massive set. High price but about a million pieces so that's acceptable.

[@Wacky_Wonders]

I'd have liked seeing more variations on He-Man & Skeletor, like Thunder Punch vs Dragon Blaster or the Battle Armors. Maybe even just brown out the gray straps on He-Man & give Skeletor a cape for a more 200x/MYP style

[@DougPalumbo]

Very cool!

[@matlockwk]

I'm kind of a Lego snob, but this is a nice looking set and definitely makes me want to check it out! Thanks for the review

Hey Dan oh, I know you review more than just Masters of the Universe products, but you're my go-to man with the mega construx sets. I'm up to date with all the kits, but I have one question for you seems how you like to interview and review products. Has there been any whispers an Orko minifigure? I know it might be too small to be considered, but Minimates brought out a Twiki with with Buck Rogers line. Just a question, he was my favorite character. Have a great one PD.

[@davidhenderson8016]

Just wondering if there gonna do a snake mountain as well on mega construx

[@exodous02]

My OCD is killing me, you need to press the pieces together better, lots of gaps. Or is it the quality of the bricks themselves? I know Lego rip-offs you press together and they slowly separate over time. Either way my OCD is acting up watching this.

[@Rod-ms2mu]

OMG YES! I HAD TO GRAB TWO LEGO 2×4 BRICKS AND JUST KEEP PRESSING THEM TOGETHER IN ORDER TO WATCH THIS VIDEO WITHOUT GETTING TRIGGERED

[@MrTurner1973]

Nice, pal.

[@omniriven9806]

Man I wish Lego would "borrow" the Mattel minifigure design like Mattel borrowed the Lego design. And make all Lego things just a bit bigger to fit those figures. How cool would it be to have Nexo Knights be in scale with Construx MOTU. 2 rivaling sci fi medieval factions.

[@jmvdb9367]

i have a question my front gate doesn't close i build it just like you but the black handle doesn't hold the drawbrigde closed is there a soluition?

[@robdcollector2808]

Now this is awesome!!!! It cost close to what the classics originally sold for at 300.00 back i they matty collector hey day!

[@TwesomE]

Though the classic is the classic hands down and all,i chose to buy the mega construx because it is better scaled with those small figurines.The classics toy line in the original doesn't fit that good in the classic set,though the bigger and better version stands better! But this bigger set is ludacris in the pricetag as well to be honest with you and had a limited run i think.I give bigger values to the mega construx because you build it like a lego,and for the scaling with the figures.And i think that in the bigger version of this they didn't include those doors that should exist for the money you giving and the space that will occupy in your room!

[@JuanPedrazaxXXjk]

Waiting for Snake Mountain Mattel! Don't let us wait forever. And what about a original Trapjaw?

[@andrewmoeller1987]

Castle Gray Skull looks really cool, but I'll have to wait and see if I can get it on sale. If I do get it though, I might have to do something different with those green bricks... I'm thinking a green bricked sewer-- for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! I already have a turtle lair built for them, but if they had a sewer to explore just outside the lair, well that would be awesome. Nice review.
