Was the LEGO Star Wars Mos Eisley Cantina worth coming back to LEGO for? My first Set in 16 years!

[@eth777]

Never have I seen a brand new channel start with such a banger of a video. I will watch your career with great interest.

[@4xThree]

Thank you! As it’s the first video hopefully it can only get better from here!

Pro tip for Lego stickers. Use the thin edge of the brick separator to remove them from the sheet and apply them to the piece. Makes life so much easier

[@4xThree]

Genius! Got a set coming up that has some stickers, will try this out in that video. Thanks for the tip!

[@ryanhuong]

Another tip is if you have a sticker almost all the way down, as long as there is one corner still loose, then you can slide the actual sticker backing paper between the sticker and the Lego and it will help you lift up the sticker so you can re-apply it.

[@4xThree]

@ryanhuong Genius move! Do you like applying the stickers or would you prefer if they had been printed?

[@Givretto]

The lighting, the editing (complete with those barely noticeable orange inserts between cuts now and then), the slow zoom (digital or mechanical?), your calm demeanor (and cool glasses), the titles, the pacing ... all great! And this can't be your first KZbin gig. Well done!

[@4xThree]

Thank you so much for noticing the effort put into the video! It actually is my first KZbin project but I’ve created other forms of content for other people prior. The slow zoom in is digital ;)

[@starlenni9300]

The camera quality and setup are amazing. The OG Lego Star Wars 'character unlocked' sounds are a really nice effect that I hope you keep up with. I hope you decide to pick the hobby back up and continue to share your experience with us!

[@4xThree]

Got some ideas for the channel moving forward so I hope you tag along to see what projects are made! Glad you appreciate the efforts so far!

[@davidd2]

I didn't notice this only had 80 likes. Seriously wouldn't be suprised if it had 80.000. The quality is just so great keep it up

[@4xThree]

Thanks, hopefully we’ll get there! Just started working on the next video!

Enjoyed the video. Glad my youtube algorithm gave me this on my feed

Super well made video!

[@4xThree]

Thanks!

[@arghjayem]

If this is your first set getting back into LEGO…..what’s with the two speed champions sets and a 3in1 creator set in the background?

[@4xThree]

@@arghjayem good eye! The speed champion Lambo was kind of a gwp from a store with the latest Beats Studio Pro’s, the Pagani was a valentines gift and the camera was a birthday present that remains sealed. The cantina is the first set I paid for. I’ll be making a video around this theme of gifting Lego soon because I’ve had a really fun experience with it the last year prior to diving into it myself!

[@Jebsss]

As a fellow beginning content creator, I wish you the best of luck! this is an absolute banger. 💪🏻

[@4xThree]

Thank you, glad the effort paid off and that the video was appreciated!

[@noactionjackson]

inspiring video, i’ve been eyeing up the cantina for a while now and might have to pull the trigger before the end of the year. similar boat as you hadn’t collected lego for around a decade then got some speed champions sets on a whim and was hooked. although that’s the only theme i have bought since returning, my childhood itch for some star wars sets continues to grow

[@4xThree]

I got the Speedchampion as a gift with purchase type of situation when I got the Beats Studio Pro and the building techniques in that set started the Lego itch for me! Glad to see we have similar experiences. The Cantina fully satisfied the itch, I really miss the Exo Force type of sets and Lego Agents was one of the last themes I bought into.

[@Scotty_in_Ohio]

I wasn't missing any pieces in this set - I believe there was a case where I had the color wrong from the instructions and _thought_ I was missing pieces - recently, I did have another set (the Disney Villains, which my wife and I were building) that was short just one 1x2 brick. I've had another set months ago and I emailed Lego with the set number and piece number - took about a week and got the part... Great video!

[@4xThree]

I thought the instructions were a bit hard to read honestly when they’re printed on black, made all the colors look darker than their respective pieces. What did you think of the Disney villains set? It’s not my cup of tea personally but I like the concept and appreciate the approach they took on the set.

[@SeeRoosterGaming]

This is my kind of content - chill, relaxed, and still quite humorous. Well done. Definitely agree with you on the stickers - they are such a hassle when you’re older. But, the detail they bring is always welcomed. The build itself is super rad. Unfortunately, it seems the Cantina is finally “Out Of Stock” for some folks, so this set is definitely doing its final lap. I know you mentioned it in the video, but I would love to see more content in the future. Would love to hear your takes on the large UCS sets like the AT-AT & Venator, even if you said they’re a bit too much, haha. Best of luck with everything. Excited to see the next video!

[@4xThree]

Hi and thanks for the compliment! Chill relaxed and a tad humorous is exactly what I set out to achieve actually. We’ll see if the channel grows to a point where the AT-AT can be acquired, I like the design of it it’s just that at that price only get so many gray pieces kind of sucks out the life of me but hey I think it has some sort of sand blue seats so maybe it’s worth it…?

[@GucciGengar.]

This set is an instant classic for me.

[@4xThree]

Likewise!

[@KerioFive]

The Cantina was $350 when it released, Lego raised their prices shortly after. Its still one of the best for $400

[@4xThree]

I saw that, I fully agree with you even at $400 it packs so much in one set! It went on sale locally at a retailer for $350 for about 2 hours and then the sale disappeared…

[@ItsBanzy]

A tip if you decide to get back into collecting, use the brick separator to help put on stickers helps out a bunch!!

[@4xThree]

Someone recommended that too, never seen it done so I’ll look that up before the next video. Thanks!

[@Retronus]

I also recently got back into collecting some Lego sets. I decided to pick up the Lego lord of the rings Rivendell set, paid a little bit for it. The build itself is quite large and takes up a bit of room when displayed, I'm a fan of the aesthetics of that set, it was quite an interesting set to build too, I had some fun building it. At one point I want to pick up the other Lord of the Rings Barad-dûr set from Lego. Regarding the video I did enjoy the editing in your video, it was nice. The build of the cantina looks interesting and quite a fun build, an issue with Star Wars sets these days is that they're quite expensive in regards to the dollar to piece count but from my understanding this set is quite good value for what you get in the box. Good video, Cheers.

[@4xThree]

NomadH02 in the comment section of this video also got the Rivendell set as their returner set! It looks fantastic, I love these bigger sets with lots of detail reminds me of the Sentai Fortress from Exo-Force back in the day but even beefier. Barad-Dûr is a giant of a set, I grew up with Lord of the Rings too but when it came to picking a returner set Star Wars felt like a domain I was a bit more experienced with but that PS2 game of Lord of the Rings The Two Towers slapped! Thanks for watching the video, hope you follow along :)

[@jt734]

I´d recommend getting the Rivendell set if you can spare the cash for it, but maybe wait a while before building it. There is the risk of other sets paling in comparison :)

[@4xThree]

If the channel grows I might just get it at some point! Looks like an intricate build with that playset aesthetic which is just right up my alley.

[@404TextError]

Great video, like the relaxing vibes. Subbed

[@4xThree]

Thanks, was aiming for just that! Hope you enjoy the future content :)

[@ZANZEXX]

Awesome first video, I just subscribed

[@4xThree]

Thanks!

[@micahgeurts9233]

I have not had a missing piece in any of my many lego sets over the past three years. Granted, the biggest set I have is the recent brick built R2-D2. Sorry you had to deal with that.

[@4xThree]

I’ve built a lot of sets in my childhood and never had this experience either… I’m making a video on one of the brick build droids actually quite soon! Are you familiar with the old technic droid sets?

[@micahgeurts9233]

@@4xThree I’m familiar in the sense of knowing about them, but I never owned any. Looking forward to the next video

@micahgeurts9233 Then we share the same lack of experience, stay tuned!

[@grandwarden501st6]

Bro you got the 2015 mango fett and speed champions in the back

[@4xThree]

Someone thought Mango was a Bonkle back in the day and gifted it to me… oddly simple design. Making a video on the speed champions and some other sets as they were gifts which is what got me to buying my first set myself. Before getting myself the Cantina I got friends and family Lego for their birthdays because I wasn’t sure if it was deemed okay to collect Lego as an adult but now everyone around me has Lego so …

[@micahgeurts9233]

You may enjoy the diorama sets as they are sort of just smaller versions of this.

[@4xThree]

I really do like the speeder chase set but the price seems a bit to steep for some of them, especially the pod race!

[@raffikirschner]

Awesome video! Hope there is more to come.

[@4xThree]

@@raffikirschner there sure is! As I mentioned towards the end I have a set that is an update of a Technic Star Wars set from 2000 that I’ll be taking a closer look at in the coming weeks! Glad to have you here.

[@madman7991]

Kinda surprised at the missing piece, personally i bought this set from a knock off version and it was perfectly the same as lego. Except it was only around 100 bucks, and it didnt have any missing pieces at all! Something to look into to save spending so much on real lego, personally the only difference i found were the bricks were sometimes a tighter squeeze than lego. But the 100 bucks vs 400 odd, its a no brainer..... I found it on Aliexpress personally but i know there are other companies out there too

[@4xThree]

Fair enough! Whats weirder to me is that additional piece that’s not supposed to be in the set at all… Were you happy with the set even if it was a bootleg? Were the instructions the same?

[@madman7991]

@@4xThree yeah that's a strange one to have an unknown piece, honestly quality is superb. I noticed a few tiny things as difference, like the lamps are made with other pieces and not a single whole piece etc. I also think possibly the action part of the greedo chair isn't there? Haven't paid enough attention for that yet, but I have other bootleg (honestly even calling them bootleg seems bad cause like the quality is 80-80% there.) I have the Dungeons and Dragons set and it's really good, and I got it like

[@4xThree]

For future videos it could be an interesting discussion point for sure! I’ve seen people acquiring proper bootleg bionicle sets that look kinda peculiar, almost straight out of the “Bionicle” dream that many seem to have had… Will need more experience with the modern sets for now but down the line I might visit this topic, thanks for the suggestion!

[@madman7991]

@@4xThree any time! I've recently gotten back into Lego myself and the bootlegs have been a childhood dream come true. For a couple 100 bucks its easy to replicate an old Christmas being 11 getting some sets haha there's a whole other side too with MOC builds for sets that Lego don't make but there are brick designs for. I've seen some crazy 10,000+ piece sets

[@NomadH02]

25:00 I might get a lot of disagreements about this but this is why I believe MBS is infinitely better than UCS, there's so much more interaction that goes with it.. I've been thinking about getting this one for a while and think I'm ready to pull the trigger. Great video!

[@4xThree]

Is that what separates UCS and MBS? One being a “playset” and the other being an upscaled detailed singular model?

[@NomadH02]

​@@4xThree it's pretty much like that yeah..with the other MBS being cloud city

[@4xThree]

If you’re a fan of that MBS style then I’d definitely suggest you get the set if you can. My white whale set is the Ewok Village from 2013, hopefully that gets a recreation soon even if it was pretty damn good for its time too.

[@NomadH02]

​@@4xThree it's funny you mention that set as it was essentially the first MBS set before the label

missing pieces = left in bag. You need to check the bags again. Built a lot of sets.....

[@4xThree]

Unfortunately after checking all the bags several times it wasn’t found and that odd white piece made an appearance in the set without being referenced at the end of the instructions so I suppose that piece made it in the batch leaving the window piece elsewhere…
