I remember how excited all my friends were when I got the complete Pod Racer box set for Christmas. For a long time I didn't think I got that many Star Wars sets, but looking back I had two thirds of The Phantom Menace catalog and half the Attack of the Clones including the Slave I. For some reason I thought there were way more sets out there. Kind of fell out of Legos by Revenge of the Sith.

[@Sandwich1414]

I got the 1999 Y-Wing and Darth Vader TIE Advanced, and Luke's landspeeder and I absolutely adored them. I know they're blocky, they don't have the "screen accurate" shapes and colours but I loved them.

That stuff was my first introduction to Star Wars, followed by the demo version of Jedi Outcast and then the actual films. It went back full circle and now I only enjoy the LEGO stuff.

[@natbarmore]

Around 5:45, that AT-AT MOC from ‘82 is, in fact, a pretty good representation of how difficult making any sort of walker was with the parts of the time, and you’re not wrong about how much we’d all been wishing for Lego Star Wars by 1999. I had been dreaming of that moment for almost 20 years. Literally: I had an extremely vivid dream sometime in the early ‘80s that Lego Star Wars sets were being released and I’d gotten to see them early (Millennium Falcon, TIE Fighter, X-Wing, AT-AT), and to this day I still can recall snippets of the dream-and I never remember my dreams. But I knew as soon as I woke up that it would never happen. So I was a kid again when the first OT Star Wars sets were revealed, even as crude as they were.

Plus all of the designs for the their faces/hair usually look white anyways. What black or Indian kid is gonna grab a yellow minifg and go "Oh yeah this represents me!" They wont.

I honestly do agree with you, having licenses back in the early 2000s was more of a specialty among the creative ideas that Lego itself could come up with. Nowadays I do believe that the design elements make the sets way better than their original counterparts, believe me I grew up with the original Star Wars and Harry Potter sets so I know exactly how that feels. However, licenses nowadays make it feel like turning everything into Lego but forgetting what Lego itself actually is.

[@benjimon4738]

I fell in love with Harry Potter back in 2017. I have had on/off again relationship with Star Wars my whole life. I never liked the HP sets as a kid, but as an adult, I love them all. I loved the origional SW sets until around 2003-2005, and I love these new sets since about 2 years ago. HOWEVER, I agree with you on some of the points you make about how as good as some of these themes and sets are, they are destorying LEGO's original ideas and those fun iconic sets of the space exploration, ocean fighting, midevel sets, etc. I couldn't believe how LEGO had aquired the license to Spiderman and Jurassic Park as a kid, but now I can't keep up as an adult that even has a kid who likes LEGO himself on all the new sets. Wish I had all of my old sets from 1998-2003 time frame (mainly). Those are iconic and I appreciate your youtube channel for showing these sets, some of which I have forgotten since then.

[@fredjones2170]

Great review, and definitely a nice nostalgia trip. Fun fact, the TIE Fighters in the original trilogy were actually meant to be blue, but that made them invisible when filming with bluescreen. So in a way, the original LEGO sets weren't too inaccurate. Also, those were my favorite Droideka minifig builds too - they never really got them right afterward, with their most recent redesign looking especially terrible. Incidentally, your voice work in this video seems to be improving - I don't know what it is about it, but you really nailed it in this video!

[@callumsparrow4379]

It’s criminal how LEGO never bothered to make an actual Sonic The Hedgehog set, especially after the Sonic DLC Pack for LEGO Dimensions. Just imagine building a bunch of classic Badniks bundled with a bulky Robotnik figurine, or a fully-working Animal Capsule filled with Flickies, or even a recreation of the Doomsday Zone fight.

[@callumsparrow4379]

As for the Adventure and Modern Eras, the cinematic moments and Final Bosses would be absolute treats to fully construct; the chases with the Emerald Coast orca and City Escape GUN truck would be amazing, Metal Overlord already literally transformed himself piece by piece in Heroes so it’d work perfectly with LEGO, Dark Gaia and the Gaia Colossus would tower over everything and the Egg Nega Wisp Armour would’ve been pretty rad.

Hey legomanarthur

[@maxmiller5619]

Being born in 84 and raised on Lego and as a fan of most of what they have actual licences for now, you had to get creative. Here's an example: I remember my friends and I would use the long translucent antenna pieces as lightsabers. Now kids can just use, well, actual Lego lightsabers. I can really enjoy some of the licensed lines. I own stuff from Lego Batman, Marvel (mostly only comic based), Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, Pirates of the Caribbean, Ghostbusters, and so on...but I too always found myself annoyed when, say, they'd deem LOTR Castle, POTC Pirates, or SW Space for the year or longer. It was always kind of heartbreaking! Like a great example here; I would take Monster Fighters over Scooby Doo ANY DAY!

[@CaspianMidnight]

They did continue the mini-trend in the form of the board games, which I personally thought were awesome, especially the fantasy ones. The microfigures were an interesting design and worked well for the games themselves.

[@depressedbreakfast2614]

That last quote “licensed sets need to be balanced out with LEGOs themes it needs to be 50/50” is very accurate The main reason why legos themes fail is because they don’t market them and if they have a show or something based around them it usually isn’t well developed. But when they do promote their own themes and give them proper story’s they do extremely well (ninjago, bionicle) Personally I’d love a new original CCBS theme

[@heyheyitsjae2475]

Fun fact: the Basilisk isn't actually green! The animatronic/puppet they used for filming actually had black skin, but the Chamber of Secrets was filled with a green light/glow that altered its appearance. That said, I'm pretty sure the canonical color outside of movie-magic is supposed to be dark green, so the video game version is the closest we've gotten and even that's not quite right.

For me my favourite licensed themes as a kid was the original LEGO Batman. That toy-line actually introduced me to the Batman universe and defined for me what all the characters and vehicles look like. They were also great sets with a fantastic Batmobile, Batwing and Batcave. Sadly I think Batman has run his course when it comes to LEGO, a lot of the sets just make worse versions of the vehicles and if there’s ever a cool exclusive minifig like Killer Moth or Batwoman I’d rather buy them separately online for cheap instead of putting a ton of money into buying another Batmobile.

In LEGO's defense, the First Order AT-ST set reflects the scene in The Last Jedi where BB-8 Hijacks a walker and almost the whole head gets ripped off as it breaks loose of its docking port. They could have at the very least included the parts necessary for a head, with an easy break-off feature, instead of a stupid elevator build. What pissed me off more was that Heavy Scout Walker which didn't show up anywhere and was just pure concept art.

@@NickonPlanetRipple on the bright side, the set sold poorly and LEGO will probably make up for it in the Star Wars wave after Episode IX releases.

[@Mick0Mania]

Although my favorite line is "Creator" especially after they started focusing on "big boy" sets like the modular buildings, I think we owe a lot to the movie tie in sets. It forces LEGO sets to imitate realism (as realistic as spaceships and wizards get) a bit more to fit in with the movie's style. I really enjoy seeing how they implement muted colors and builds they come up with to imitate elements from the films. Since LEGO is in a much better place now then it was before, the builds are generally very interesting as opposed to relying on a lot of pre-formed large pieces that early licensed sets did. That all said, I think the best LEGO sets to come out has always been from LEGO's own movie's. The LEGO movie sets, The Ninjago movie sets and the LEGO Batman movie sets are my personal favorites as I think they blend detailed design and toy elements perfectly. Not that I buy them specifically, they tend to be on the expensive side, but the builds are very inspiring. I tend to buy smaller creator sets and use it's pieces to build things in the LEGO films' sets style.

I think "Smooth Elegant designs attempted with 2001 era legos" is still a cool aesthetic

I remember making my own Pod racer since the one you get in stores was three pack, which made it WAY too expensive for us

Yeah, way back then, those sets looked plain and blocky, but now they are more detailed. Progress at it's finest.

Sonic Heroes ost in the background? I see you're a man of culture as well! You've earned a new sub

I'd like to add that, atleast here in Serbia, Harry Potter was the go to for girls. Boys got cool shit like Hagrid, Cerberus, the Troll and loads of awesome beasties with medieval structures while the girls got colorful set pieces with loads of decorations. And then I grew to appreciate the little knick knacks when I got older just because of how much life they brought into the pieces

Don’t think I didn’t notice the Star Fox assault ost throughout the Star Wars segment. Nice touch.

My first lego sets ever were Harry Potter and Star Wars. Say what you want about licensed themes, but to me, these two never get old. :D
