What is your estimate for build time on this?

[@andreas8664]

The idea of the cat standing in the box is really clever

[@TiagoCatarino]

Stole the idea from the PR images of the product truth be told!

[@wanitsch]

@@TiagoCatarino I will try to fit the cat into the Lego kolosseum. Then people will think, nice it came with a suitable litter box

[@Adthereccomendationsguy]

​@@TiagoCatarinothe new parts actually came from speed champion sets

[@tomkroebel4936]

And it's also extremely realistic as most of us cat owners know!

[@coffeeinhandproductions3238]

It made me laugh. As a cat owner I can confirm they do this when a box of any size is lying around.

[@johnnysharp2899]

Lego ideas is definitely my favorite theme. Sets like the Viking village and medieval blacksmith look so good, and then you have random licensed sets like Seinfeld or Sesame Street. There’s just so much variety, it’s a really unique theme.

[@TiagoCatarino]

Totally agree!

[@cheesiestsandwich]

Thank the fans of lego who came up with the sets on the Lego Ideas website.

I love how smooth it looks, and 100 bucks? That's basically a price you would get from parting out on bricklink. Love it

[@Kurokami-One]

I would love to see a variation build of it in a "loaf" pose if possible.

[@jardex2275]

Considering the original Ideas submission was a different breed, I can imagine more being released in different colorations and poses if this sells well.

[@AbsolutelyJason]

That would be great!

[@LunaticTheCat]

They should have also added Green option for the eyes, other than that it looks amazing

[@HobbitHobbit]

I love what Lego is doing with these submit ideas themes. Tiago's commentary was spot on and I will definitely buy this. I run a cat charity so this will be purrfect for my many cats, including my 3 tuxedos - Spot, Peter, and Will.

[@brickeezy]

Lego Ideas is so random and therefore is the reason why it’s my favorite Lego theme! Want a cat? No problem. Want a typewriter? No problem. Want a treehouse? No problem!!!

[@tay-lore]

I wasn't really sold on the cat until I saw you display it sitting in its box. That's perfect!

[@michaelemond7315]

The idea of a lego Tuxedo cat furs made me paws. I thought "you have to be kitten me". But after I got over my negative cat-itude I realized "meow you're talking". And Tiago's video was so purr-suasive I realized - this idea is hiss-terical. P.S. Someone requested some cat jokes. And as a dad I took up the challenge.

no toebeans either! still though looks great. will buy. possibly day 1 even. a rarity for me.

[@lsmill4754]

This is my one complaint!! The new big Simba even has whiskers

[@BrilliantBro]

I personally love this set, and it might be one of my most favourite sets of the year😍

[@TiagoCatarino]

Mine too! It will probably be featured in my top LEGO sets of 2024 FOR SURE

[@vedranlucev1837]

Tiago just can't get over that tree set.

[@bertbergers9171]

Thank you for showing it in line-up with the buildable big minifigure! gives good sense of scale.

[@andrewbarnick8750]

Great review! Those slopes you mentioned not being familiar with debuted in this year's Speed Champions sets. While they're rare now, I expect that like many other past Speed Champions parts they will find all sorts of interesting uses like in this set before long. I expect this will be a popular set to customize-I myself am hoping that most of those black slopes will be available in dark grey so that I can make it look like my cat Violet.

[@mackerel6099]

came here to say this, they were introduced in speed champions cars and are already in a number of sets!

[@Dewebje]

I love hearing the joy in you're voice. And I think I might agree with you. Besides: Lego heads are my favourite to build. Yoda, Harry Potter and others: they're design inside and outside is always a wow.

[@Glegh]

Let the cat jokes roll in

[@TiagoCatarino]

Got any?

@@TeachMeEnteiright meow

[@tc16169]

A Lego cat?! That's impawsible!

[@skeletonpatch]

I have an extreme urge to pick this set up and customize it to look like my own cat who, while being a tuxedo himself, is quite unique. Though if many of the curves are accomplished with relatively new parts that aren’t very common yet it’ll probably be a while before I can get it to match. Considering that LEGO has already released two identical Creator sets that are simple colour swaps it’s only fair that this one get the same treatment so that everyone gets the chance to build a replica of their pet.

[@Polylep]

Where can we find the color swap sets?

[@skeletonpatch]

@@Polylep The sets I’m referring to are the Tropical Parrot and Tropical Pink Parrot. It’s been a while since I’ve been to a store that sells LEGO (Walmart) but they were both still in stock last time I checked

[@Polylep]

@@skeletonpatch Thank you!

[@goose_goose_duck_Maizen_fan]

I have the same set. However, is step 168 & 169 a mistake or error

From start to finish, this was by far one of the best builds in a long time. A real pleasure. And the result..wow.

[@TiagoCatarino]

I don’t lie!

[@Dewebje]

@@TiagoCatarino absolutly not!! 😀

[@xicufwm]

0:30 oh, the cat in the cardboard box was a stroke of genius! *chef's kiss* I love this set and would love to see variations of it, like a siamese cat!

[@dantediss1]

As far as whiskers go. It will be easy to just use fishing line and cut a few pieces and wedge them in between the building brick space of the nose on each side.

[@halocraft314]

LEGO should give us more cat breeds in different positions, like a ginger cat laying on its side or a maincoon in proper loaf position.

[@tomkroebel4936]

As sad as it might be this will probably not happen as LEGO stated they don't want to make multiple sets with the same theme in IDEAS! But I would be a fan of a set with cats similar to the "Adorable Dogs" in the creator-3-in-1 line...

[@cheesiestsandwich]

​​@@tomkroebel4936 the lego sonic the hedgehog and minecraft IDEAS theme became a series.

[@SAVINGEZRA]

LEGO Ideas and Architecture are my two favorite themes and I’m glad they’re both thriving! Also, as a cat owner, this is so realistic and impressive

[@coffeeinhandproductions3238]

Really like how this one turned out. Shame to lose the bowl and fishbone, but the build looks spectacular, and fun to assemble. One my favorite Ideas offerings in recent years, and modestly priced too.

[@DouglasLambert]

I love silliness of the Tuxedo Cat. The IDEAS theme is perfect for that. I was really hoping that my little yellow tree was picked up for production. I'm happy that some professional LEGO designers took a look at it, but some commentary or feedback would be great.

[@jimcurt99]

Just started building this and I LOVE it- super fun build, GREAT value- can't say enough good things.

[@likecrazyhorse]

I loved the concept, hated the reveal pics, love the look on review in "real life". I hope they make more colors of the new blocks in the future so I can build more cats

[@chongpooka2769]

Definitely needs some whiskers but besides that excellent. How tall is it?

[@femketje8496]

Late reply so you might have found it already, but it is 32cm(12.5inch) x 24cm (9.5inch)

[@TazerXI]

Out of curiosity, how much does Lego let you create new pieces for sets? Are there certain requirements you have to meet, like saying what other uses they have, etc.?

[@Vprod.]

Pretty darn cool! Now i'm kinda hoping for a dog model to accompany it. Something like a bulldog might be a very cool build with the wrinkly face and all. A german shepherd would be awesome too.

[@B0H0]

100% buying this on release! Already set a reminder a day before. the $100 price point sealed it for me. Was expecting a $180+ but at $100 I'm ready to pull the trigger instantly.

[@02001djz]

I'm not a cat person, but know so many people who I would like to buy this for. Your review just made it that much more exciting as usual!

[@goose_goose_duck_Maizen_fan]

I used both i color eyes blue one yellow Oh yeah it does sound like purring Yeah I know the scale is almost purrfect has my real cat only a little taller I have the same set. However, is step 168 & 169 a mistake or error

[@mozzarellabmx]

Definitely going to get this and buy some extra black pieces so I can replicate my tuxedo exactly!

[@Brian-fo6ew]

It would have been so cool if it could be in a walking stance, but it’s already super great looking! I have too much to buy on June 1st… (Star Wars, City, Ninjago, Notre Dame, Cat, Radio)

[@Thomas_that_guy]

Any advice for building it quickly, I’m getting it tomorrow and it has to be ready in three days!

[@jardex2275]

The build remind me of how Mighty Bowser is built, especially the limbs. You'd build the upper arm, clip it in, lower arm, clip it in, etc. I agree that it's very satisfying. The set has the same appeal as the Bonsai tree, and I can see people that normally don't buy Lego sets picking this one up, especially at that $100 price point. There are actual sculptures and decorations that cost more than that.

[@hellhound_haunt]

this is a day 1 purchase for me!! absolutely love this set already!

[@smallbutjustright]

I’ve just bought this for my son who is a big Lego fan & also daddy of 2 tuxedo cats. It’s a present for his 14th birthday next week. Can’t wait to see his reaction when he unwraps it.

[@Templar462]

This is absolutely a day-1 purchase for me. Cats are the absolute best, and hey Lego too? sold.

[@AminalCreacher]

I'm pretty sure all those "new" slopes recently debuted in speed champions sets. That line really has been a boon for curvycurvy bits

[@TheB3]

I'm allergic to cats, so this is my chance to finally own one! Plus this is the one time the LEGO version is actually _cheaper_ than the real thing 😂

[@TiagoCatarino]

There you go! I thought I’d mention it as a joke, but I didn’t want to annoy anyone 😅

[@Chaosrunepownage]

They need to have recolors in the curved pieces galore! My last cat was a cow cat and I'd love to re-create him in Lego with this set. Looks like I'll have to part out some more white when we get the inventory.

[@LunaticTheCat]

As someone who owns quite literally every non-Friends themed Lego cat set, I am so excited to build this! (Just got it in the mail today) Best set ever! Haha

[@msusann]

How hard would it be to make the tip of the tail black? If I could do that it would look exactly like my cat. By the way, I love the cat sitting in the box! So perfect!

[@onecleverpig]

Those wedge slope elements were introduced in the march speed champions btw, i believe. The 2x2 and 1x4

[@Tatsu4242]

I love this set, just wish those newer parts came in black. My cat is fully black so I’d love to recreate him.

[@BlackHat302Gaming]

Honestly, every time I seen this model I hated it. It look like a model I would never have wanted to build. But right off the bat in your video, my option changed. It looked great and looks very interesting to build. Thank you for your reviews. As always , awesome and very helpful. Definitely on my list of possible model lego kit to get.

[@billjenkins302]

I think this set is gonna sell well and I’m hoping that leads to lego making another one with different colors and/or poses

[@manuel602602]

I feel like a want it just because I have a tuxedo cat and would be nice to make into a Lego piece at home, Lego really putting an effort in the Ideas line

[@potawatadingdong]

I'd like a long-haired mod to honor my late cat. Lego could make a whole "build your own pet" line.

[@idonjohnson6999]

You need to do more Speed Champions: many of these new slope tiles are introduced there.

it would be cool if they did a personalised one where you send a picture of your cat and they give you a build like your own cat

its getting to the point with lego slopes that Iprobably need a built 'sampler' plate showing them all joined up with the different radii etc
