Stryker - Armored Fighting Vehicle - Custom Military Lego

[@happycamper117119]

I feel uniquely qualified to comment on this kit, since I served in a Stryker Brigade Combat Team. (SBCT). The Stryker comes in multiple variants, including ones not shown in this video. I operated an M1135 NBCRV which is a Nuclear, Biological, Chemical Reconnaissance Vehicle. It allows Brigade Commanders to survey, detect and cordon off areas of the battlefield contaminated by chemical, biological or nuclear weapons. M1128 MGSs were attached to infantry battalions and operated by tankers (19K MOS) to provide fire support, kind of like how StuGs were in WWII. (Even though they were assault artillery). The TOW carrier belonged to a standalone (organic) infantry company that gave Brigade Commanders incredible tank killing power. The command variant was issued to Battalion commanders and BDE (Brigade) Commanders. There is also an Engineer variant that can tow what is called a MCLC or mine clearing linear charge. It also has small flag holders on the back of the vehicle to drop to mark off a clear lane in a minefield. There is a medic variant too. The last variant is the Scout one. (Can't remember the nomenclature). It has an LRAS3 ("El-raz"), or Long range advanced scout surveillance system, which allows US Army Cavalry Scouts to see incredible distances on the battlefield, allowing recon from safe distances. Strykers are armored to withstand 14.5mm machine gun fire and light shrapnel from artillery, but can be retrofitted with additional armor that allows them to withstand light cannon fire and slat/cage armor to protect from shaped charges. Strykers are the ultimate Swiss Army knife for the US Army, since an SBCT has all of the tools it needs available to it within the brigade, without having to outsource to neighboring units for support.

Thanks for the insight! We especially appreciate feedback from actual users of the vehicles we model. And of course thanks for your service!

Hi Hunter Gonzales, I am Peter Yim from Hong Kong China. I love how u describe your life inside your Stryker brigade, but how long had u been inside that brigade and did u equip the VTAC Tomahawk(Stryker vehicles issued)? Lastly I am inviting u to read the world's first(still in production) Tom Clancy's universe and Star Wars Crossover fan fiction on Wattpad!! :-) read here and your experience might be included inside this fanfic-> www.wattpad.com/story/126613878-the-ghost-outsiders-of-mandalore-a-tom-clancy%27s

[@greymms3603]

Is the m2 too big?

[@siirivan8833]

Hunter Gonzales You a 74? I’m curious to know what SBCT you were in that had a NBCRV. Was it a NBCRV platoon or were you attached to that unit?

[@mizaqenyad4269]

My father was one of the engineers that actually helped design the Stryker tank! I had him check out pictures of your set, and he says it’s extremely accurate! In fact, his job was to design the automatic loading system for the “cannon” (I forget which cannon it was) variant, and he said the way the add on pack cannon was built, even shows the loading system he designed! They could fire up to 6 shells a minute, before reloading, which was extremely easy and fast.

[@brickmaniatoys]

Thanks for sharing your story!

[@AdityaChaseFan]

8:29 Stryker version of the LAV 25

[@billtran6376]

You guys should build the AMX rc 10, that would be amazing.

[@butaneveins]

They keep the back hatch open for the mortar because if they’re not using a LHMBC they will be using aiming stakes. Stakes they physically put out to aim with and reference to.

[@nolocrav1153]

This is by far my favorite kit in the brickmania Arsenal

[@adamvaz9097]

I was waiting for this kit! Have you guys ever done the Apache Attack Helicopter, that would be sick!

[@SausageEggCheeseMcMuffin]

adam vaz yeah they have

[@randomguy1017]

I like the idea of the add on weapons packs, real cool.

[@grandpaj6263]

Just watching Brick mani and this was in the suggested, all new videos I must watch.

[@ethanfoster290]

Nice creation John!!!

[@starkiller-fn6db]

Love the build plus the design and detail

[@agapesc]

That's really cool but you guys should do a German u-boat

[@brickmaniatoys]

Start saving money now!

[@letsbeoriginal2436]

I currently serve in a Stryker Brigade as a 91S or Stryker Systems Maintainer. I was thinking if y’all would ever do a Stryker build after I watched the Abrams video and I am very pleased with your design and I really enjoy seeing the add on kits. Keep up the good work.

[@AdityaChaseFan]

The Stryker vehicles you forget: With mine plower as an engineer vehicle, Fire support vehicle, and Nuclear biological chemical recon vehicle (NBC RV) Medical evacuation vehicle

[@minigunmaniac2569]

Good job John! You never disappoint us.

[@berndmaier915]

This kit seems super awesome will you in the future come out with stickers for modern us soldiers/ marines so that one could build an affordable army of them?

[@indiversityy9064]

“This is 105mm" -John 2018

[@AdityaChaseFan]

Your creation is the coolest I like it!

[@El_Cypriot]

Awesome build!!

[@kylem9503]

This kit is too cool

[@fatmanicy4292]

I would love to see a amx-13 or really any tank with oscalating turret. Maybe a new t-72 would be nice?

[@archie2887]

Can you guys do a scorpion/scimitar recognisance vehicle

[@apexbuilder0171]

or a Challenger 1/2 tank and possibly even a Warrior IFV/APC

[@devinayala776]

looks amazing as always, can't wait to order some

[@ninus17]

now make the MOWAG/GDLS Piranha 5 and i would also like to see the leopard 2a5

[@pemioi]

9:50 I've seen a stryker fire like that once and he tiped the vehicle over on its side lol

[@sheepeatercivic5999]

Can you do some more WW2 Soviet stuff coming up

[@brickmaniatoys]

Da!

[@redenginner]

Can you also do a similar approach to a M113 remaked evacuation colors, like have modules for the AA, IFV, and Missile Carrier. Plus you could even do a specialized version that is done up in the NASA firefighting color scheme for the space race line

[@imperialscout8570]

Fauder looks like someone is going to a new front :)

[@sheepeatercivic5999]

Storm Vonk yes I am!

[@dallas9994]

brickmaniatoys hey is there any more American ww2 kits coming out be4 Xmas?

[@WormWormWormWormWormWormWorm]

I really wish this was still in stock :( . I have heard that the new Stryker is very hard to build and is not very sturdy, this is also cheaper, and I like having a cheaper main build with optional add-ons.

[@zysoninnocreation4833]

omg , i bet those enemies fear that stryker

[@rifle_viam8869]

This is a IFV and I was thinking is brickmania ever going to make a MRAP to go compliment the Humvee and Abrams

[@Waffur_u]

Amazing kit

[@bw_l560]

9:57 That’s actually a really big problem with the recoil system. The Stryker MGS has had a lot of problems with its turrets, and can only carry 18 rounds. Any reloading, repairs, or clearance of stoppages could only be performed by exposed personnel standing atop the vehicle. The autoloader suffered frequent jams and stoppages.

[@supermegadestroyerpoopmylo]

u wot m8 they should just be escorted by artillery/tanks

[@legomodernwarfe4508]

i love that stryker

[@legomodernwarfe4508]

v

[@legomodernwarfe4508]

your tanks and your planes,helicopter in so cool and i love your channel

[@kalama_4790]

Strykers are my favorite

[@nbmlego28]

9:45 They say "Never bring a Stryker to a tank fight." Unless it's got that thing on it.

[@mrpunnypuffin8070]

Can you make battle of France book with Stuka please as it has just sold out and really wanted it for Christmas and anyone who likes wants this book and should leave suggestions for other content inside

[@mrpunnypuffin8070]

Also Focke-Wulf would be nice

[@hannibalsmith3811]

Awsome! Please do the a team van.

[@bonjour1416]

Build the AMX-13!!! Lots of weird angles on that thing.

[@andisparrow4582]

Awesome brickmania

[@psychomantis9442]

Sooooo, what are the chances of either a restock in 2020, or instructions in a sort of 21st century modern book? And damn I love all the brick built weapon options!! 🤤

[@aoli8142]

Ah! I had missed Brickmania's theme song!

[@thesamstone3277]

Its everywere sold out! Did come the Striker come back? or at least the instructions!

[@thijsrikkerink6333]

Im bussy with an lego RC Königs Tiger. I already made most of the rc part but now i paused that project cuz i am building the new Bugatti Chiron set to fit next to my Porsche 911 gt3 rs 😊

[@cyrustheelder9608]

Surely this will shut Peter Yim up.

[@pyeitme508]

Will there be Different colors included and a CAGE armor added in the future?!

[@fatmanicy4292]

Peter Yim you could easily make that with some Lego bar peices.

[@pyeitme508]

that_one_russian_bear I know but THESE GUYS are pros and I don't know how to calculate the right bricks for the CAGE armor :-(

[@pyeitme508]

Actually I already gave the comment to them on Instragram and they "might" think about it!

[@fatmanicy4292]

Peter Yim It's simple take a few u clip peices, a couple of the small bar peices, and the small tiles with clips!

[@pyeitme508]

that_one_russian_bear Got it, but a f***ing $195 USD Stryker and two weapons upgrade kits IS TOO EXPENSIVE!!!!

[@AdityaChaseFan]

How many days does it takes to build this model?

[@davidneese5422]

Great design! I've always loved APCs and IFVs, especially from the post cold war era. Are you thinking of making more modern kits soon? I'd love to see an AMX Leclerc or a Leopard 2A7/Stridsvagn 122...

[@bruddaboosh]

I saw these in your Woodfield stores a few days ago.

[@brickmaniatoys]

Trurth revealed that you can get new releases in our stores before you can order them online!

[@banzi-rc7dm]

I wish they would make the schwerer Gustav or the dora gun as some call it I could just imagine how much it would cost

[@minh7063]

Nice vehicle but I wonder why all the store don’t sell it.

[@notajaxon9476]

Is this ever going to be back in stock in 2024? I would love to buy this

[@emergency_slovenia]

wow !!!! realy amazing !!!!!

[@LEGOTANKS]

*very cool!!!*

[@Jackm656]

Love your kits I want all but too expensive but saving up to get some more love what you do and never stop

[@awkwarddoggo05]

JagdTiger or JagdPanther? Edit: I just finished watching the video and this is by far on of my favorite Brickmania kits!

[@legio-IV-Cataphract]

Please make a t-64b and a mini kits upgrades to make the dshk and Vickers into a dshk model m1938 and a maxim m1910

[@viewer4327]

[@pemioi]

I work currently in a styker brigade team, and have 2 mortar vehicles, do they point to the rear? Im a 50 gunner in my vehicle and dont deal with the mortar ones

[@Idkplsam]

When are you guys going to restock this .

[@derekhenschel3191]

Add-on packs for the striker please

[@harrison2636]

Can u come out with some cheaper miniature builds in the range of 15-20 dollars plz?

[@Sputnikski]

Pretty cool! I would like to order one for Christmas. Would they still be available until then?

[@eliteboi2216]

Do you get all the pieces for all of the extentions or enough pieces for 1

[@joeyphaahla]

So jealous of people who get these sets.☹️

[@clone_trop_ben6445]

Brickmania can you make the Australian centurion for your Vietnam theme.

[@brickmaniatoys]

Good idea!

[@nickthe1million336]

It’s sad though that so many Brickmania stuff is out of stock.

[@neb3760]

I want bmp2 or task force ranger Humvee back!

[@upnightnick]

why isn’t there a ATGM (Anti Tank Guided Missile) add on pack?

[@brickmaniatoys]

It's included with the Styrker Heavy Weapons add-on pack

[@manifestman132]

Any one else have a left over 1x2? I rebuilt it a few time and could not find where it went.

[@diegovidal9862]

Are you guys going to stop making the tiger 1 and if you are will you make a upgraded version

[@brickmaniatoys]

The dark gray Tiger I will not be restocked. We hope to have new edition built with colors more suited for the eastern steppes!

[@WildSaucy]

Make modern navy boats and ships

[@edgeresteban7718]

Do a how to build or sell it ill buy it wait do they sell these

[@calvinmurphy8770]

[@sethkinney3671]

you could totally make tons of money from just selling the instructions alone

[@Grahamlogan56]

what happened to yitzy? It did not mention everything on Instagram?

[@fatmanicy4292]

MR. REDPANDA He's dedicated himself just to jbrick

[@ProGamerOne]

Can you guys do some Russian ww1 stuff please? Would really love it.

[@narwhocalypse9656]

Why are their sets so expensive? I feel like a bricklink order of this would be like $50 but they're charging 4 times that.

[@brickmaniatoys]

But how much is the design time and instruction book worth?

[@extremecommunism4738]

Narwhocalypse They need to pay for their staffs and employees as well

[@patickcarr3695]

Do you also stand outside of art galleries and ask them why thier paintings are so much, when Ace hardware sells the paint at a fraction of the cost?

[@narwhocalypse9656]

Patrick Carr I would if anyone could make it with a simple set of instructions for a quarter the price.

[@patickcarr3695]

[@dubbydapanda7189]

I want one. (Dreams are crushed... It's $195)

[@nbmlego28]

I know how you feel. I tried to make a Stryker a good as john's once and it ended up having 1 more hatch than his and I sacrificed the steering for interior space. I tried to convince myself that I didn't need his Stryker but mine wasn't as good. All I need are some minifigures BUT THEY'RE F*CKING 40 DOLLARS EACH. you have the same problem I do lol

[@dubbydapanda7189]

Nicholas Rensi yeah, just because they are custom figures and builds doesn't mean that they need to be this frickin expensive, I mean seriously a vehicle of this size looks like it would be at least 30-40 bucks because I'm used to buying actual Lego sets. I'm not here to hate on these guys, I honestly love what they do but damn those prices are frickin expensive. Seriously $190 could get me this set, or a whole frickin PS4 it's that much!
