Top 10 best LEGO sets of 2024

[@garyolsen6018]

I believe the Hogwarts castle (76419) was released in 2023. My vote for a potential replacement would be the new Endurance ship.

[@DarkAnimalStudios]

How the heck did I get that wrong? I even reviewed it…in 2023. Pinning your comment so everyone can see. Thank you. Still a great set! If I had to remove it from the list I would replace it with The Animated Series Gotham City set

[@dariocarzola8978]

This is awesome! Thank you for delivering on an OG fan request…Great to see you on cam too!

[@DarkAnimalStudios]

Yeah man got it in before getting sick 😂 Question is do I end the year off with most disappointing sets of 2024?

[@dariocarzola8978]

You already know my answer! Haha. Hope you get well soon.

[@TheBrickQuest]

Great list! A lot of great sets this year.

[@DarkAnimalStudios]

Thank you, I thought so too. I’m currently mulling over my script for sets that let me down this year, and I’m just not sure if I want to end the year on a negative note 😂

[@HelloEightDays]

Awesome video bro! Good job!

[@DarkAnimalStudios]

Thank you…except for the 2023 set I included 😂

[@brickeezy]

Explosive is indeed a good word to use for LEGO this year! 🙌🏼 The Auspicious Dragon is definitely underrated in my opinion. I’m glad you put this one on your top 10 👍🏼 Mario and Yoshi is VERY impressive!! 👏🏼 great list! 😊

[@ABrickDreamer]

It was a great year for Lego

[@DarkAnimalStudios]

I agree! Apart from a worrying upwards trend of overpriced sets it was great

[@CodyRitchie2]

Refreshing to see a list with no Star Wars. Love the Jaws, Dune and Mario sets as well. I would say the Zelda Deku Tree set would make my own personal list but it’s so overpriced for what you’re getting especially if you plan on building the Orcarina of Time Deku Tree. Nice list.

[@DarkAnimalStudios]

I love the Deku Tree set so much, but the cost and 2-in-1 part of it really cooled me on the set. It made me overly critical of the set and some missing things like Zelda from OoT. It’s actually the biggest disappointment for me this year

[@AidanJasanis07]

Great list of sets! Since Hogwarts Grounds was a 2023 set, I’d switch it out for the new UCS Burrow. Lots of fun technique, heavy detail, and great fig selection 🖤

[@DarkAnimalStudios]

Thank you! The only reason the burrow did not make the cut was because I did not build it, but I do love the way it looks 🙂

[@MLT-bricks]

My favourites were the Milky Way and Batman Gotham city 😊

[@DarkAnimalStudios]

I was waaaay too intimidated by the milky way! It looks amazing, how was the building?

[@MLT-bricks]

@@DarkAnimalStudiosi really enjoyed it, recommend it 😊

[@Finnl-qe5le]

This was a pretty good year for Lego

[@odinlomsdalen8557]

can you review the Spiderman Final battle set?

[@DarkAnimalStudios]

Hey, unfortunately the set is a bit too dated for me to go back to it. I did however review the Add-on and how it connects to the final battle over here if that helps? kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmjNiKVsopyVmbM

[@Regeor]

Interesting, as a Ninjago Megafan, the Dragon Stone Shrine was one of my least favourite sets this year. It’s so expensive, so dense that you can’t do much with it and reused a lot of minifigures. It’s a shame because we need more location sets in the theme, just ones that are more substantial. Personally my favourite 2024 set would be the Source Dragon of Motion.

[@DarkAnimalStudios]

No ways! You see this is me coming from a non megafan perspective. I love how well rounded (pardon the pun) it was as a display set

[@tcp1623]

What will Lego create in 2025? (DnD wise)

[@DarkAnimalStudios]

I really hope we get modular campaign expansions, but smaller sets at a lower price

[@anicrowsenjixd8918]

06:04 aren't the prices different?

[@DarkAnimalStudios]

Ah yes, you are right! Those are the prices for the DnD set. Sorry, I’m slowly realising how many mistakes I made in this video.

[@Bart-Did-it]

That ninjargo one has almost an entire super fig stone Wolf 🐺 in it and you missed it .

[@DarkAnimalStudios]

Wait you’re gonna have to explain that to me 😂

[@Bart-Did-it]

@@DarkAnimalStudiosthe Ninjargo Shrine looks like a big Wolf 🐺 or even a Werewolf. With a little bit of MOC’ng you could build a Super Fig but like the big figs but larger . As soon as I see it I thought massive wolf not Dragon 🤷‍♂️ looks really good

[@kevinodw_]

3:54 This set was released in 2023....

[@DarkAnimalStudios]

Yes! I pinned the first one to point it out…the shame will follow me into 2025 😂 I have no idea how I got it so wrong considering I reviewed it last year

[@kalebgamez808]

No Artemis rocket?

[@DarkAnimalStudios]

I didn’t build that one! 😂

[@kalebgamez808]

@@DarkAnimalStudios I'll review it for you. The build itself is flawless, as beautiful as can be, great price per piece ratio, over two feet tall, the rocket can detach from the tower and can even come apart like the Saturn V (different ways though, cause it's not the same rocket). There is only one downside, the building experience. The rocket was very fun to build, but it's at the very end and it's only 1/8 of the process, same can be said for the launch pad, only it's not as fun and it takes a bit longer (and at the beginning), but the tower is VERY tedious to build, and this is coming from a technic enjoyer. It does have some pretty interesting techniques to stabilize it, but that doesn't make up for repeating the same small build 10 (yes, 10) in a row, with very few other things in between. Like I said, the build itself is flawless IMO, but you need the mental capacity to build the tower in order to enjoy it fully (worth it though)

[@DarkAnimalStudios]

Epic, thank you for the review! Where the heck do you display it

[@kalebgamez808]

@@DarkAnimalStudios Top of my dresser. If you have a shelf, it either has to be really big shelves, or you have to put it on top

[@Badgers_9]

D&D for me. But overall the sets this year haven’t been the best.

[@DarkAnimalStudios]

Interesting. There were some bad licensed sets for sure, but I found it great overall. I especially love that we got some space sets across a variety of themes. Which ones stood out to you as downright terrible?

[@dariocarzola8978]

Controversial, but I wasn’t keen on that Chewie set.

[@DarkAnimalStudios]

That thing was pure horror

[@Badgers_9]

@@DarkAnimalStudios massive let down on the X mansion and over priced Marvel sets. Barad Dur was covered in stickers. No castle or pirate sets. The Mona Lisa is embarrassing. Thankfully we got D&D. Next year should be much better with a great modular, Blacktron Renegade, Simpsons, and some great Bricklink sets coming out.

[@DarkAnimalStudios]

Yeah I’m not a fan of stickers, especially the inconsistency of their inclusion between themes.
