A Working LEGO Radio!? Retro Radio Review
Ойын-сауық
In this video, we take a detailed look at the LEGO Icons Retro Radio (set 10334). A working LEGO radio!? This set features a sound brick, a working tuning knob, am/fm switch, an antenna, a handle, the ability to enclose your phone, and much more. What a strange set... but is it ever cool!

That’s one of the most random and unique Lego sets I’ve ever seen 😂
I have a radio 📻 similar to the Lego one from 1970 and it still works today. It’s a Westinghouse. I’m 69 years old

And still enjoying Lego? That’s great
You should put your Bluetooth speaker just behind it on your shelf. It will feel likes it’s working then without losing access to your phone :)
Would be a lot more appealing if they included a functional radio unit instead of a sound brick. Sure it might cost more but I think a Lego set that you could actually tune in to local radio stations would appeal to more people.
This is a generational set. I have seen several people who are in the younger generations think this is a dumb set, but then I have seen many people who are in older generations think it's cook. It's nostalgic for them. I personally had a black cassette player look very similar to this in the 80's so I LOVE this. I'll be putting mine on a shelf next to my typewriter.
Who would have thought that a $30 fully functioning radio would sell for $100 as a nonfunctional toy version 50 years later...

The sound brick is the most expensive part that Lego makes.

@@idonjohnson6999 thank you for enlightening me. quite helpful! /s
love it...would have been perfect if it actually had a radio feature :)
I love the radio, but it gives me 1950's vibes rather than 1970's because of the light aqua bricks. Awesome set nevertheless though.

I wish it was more like the colors of the Atari :)
Before seeing the review: meh don’t need it. After seeing this review: okay. I NEED IT! Looks like a fun build 😮
I would definitely buy that if i could afford it. Bills come first 😢. Love your channel & the family. On a side note tho: being how you have the new studio & space, after building & reviewing a set end the video with placing the item in display rooms. While watching this vid i'm thinking " he's gonna walk down & put on the shelf with piano/guitar i bet". So sad you didn't, maybe next time. Keep up the GREAT work you are doing.
Are you sure this is 1970’s? The look and feel and even the audio all feels like the 1950’s to me…maybe early 60’s
I would have preferred an 80s style Panasonic ‘Boom Box’ of ‘Ghetto Blaster’ as they used to call them
I do believe that we, or at least I, very much needed a Lego Retro Radio for my house. I think this is very cool and can’t wait to pick one up. I like how you can find positives in a set even if it isn’t your favorite thing. Thanks for your review!
This set is precious!
It would be cool to find a small enough blue tooth speaker to put inside rather than your phone.
this set is crazy. the resemblance is crazy
it will fit well in your ideas/icons music shelf
I LOVE THIS! It goes along with all the other Reto Tech that they are doing like the Polaroid camera, the vintage file camera and now the radio. Now we need a cassette player and CD player.
Lego now do an 80’s Boombox.
This is such a sick set! Love it!
I wish Lego had added a battery compartment at the back with batteries made from lego to pop in and out.
The LEGO radio could be something I would love to get and listen to some music while I’m working on my tasks.
I think it is better than a piano, typewriter or camera.
Do you want a radio?. its the same as any other Lego set you have that you display, you have recently filled all your shelves with lego, why is the radio any different, its a display piece like much of your collection

Totally.
Totally unique, and I loved that you took the back off and showed us that odd tuning piece. Already added it to my Lego wish list. I wonder if an older MP3 player would work in there? The only problem is that some of the older ones don't have Bluetooth.
Looks like it should be a $70 radio lol.

The reason is because of the sound brick
La vidéo d'hier est arrivé en retard et celle là arrive en avance 😂😂 (Tu t'es bien rattrapé Jordan 😂)
That's so unexpected, and quirky, would be cute in a Lego room playing music and surprising people where the music is coming from.
Lego has used that giant worm gear thing to move the elevator up and down on the current Friends Hospital set
This set looks great! Lego have been on a roll this past week or so with some great set reveals
A Bricksie logo rug in the Star Wars room would be awesome!
Does this mean you’re off your suspension? I am seeing more reviews again!!
I was going to get this set but I was really disappointed that the color is so similar to the typewriter 😢😅
Cool looking set - My family had one of these same types of Radios in the early 70's when I was really young 👍
An unusual set to say the least. First the vintage type writer, then this. Are they going to come out with a sewing machine next? Granted they also had that tiny walkman set too. Nice to see the paper bags finally being implemented though. Congrats on your Oilers sneaking out that OT win last night.
Its cool looking and love the functions on it.
I like it! Awesome Video Review👍👍💪
It reminds me a lot of the typewriter. Kind of random but executed in a really cool way
I love it. I think I want this more than that Lego Cat coming next month. Thanks for the review.
Pretty cool set The sound brick makes it better, the phone integration is great
Love the radio can’t wait to pick it up! 📻
Back in the 1970s I had a transistor radio just like this. Even the colours are exactly right. Incredible!😀😃
Was not sure of the radio. Have it admit it looks pretty cool. Great review
I need that. Yes, we really need a Radio! Finally! Paper bags!
I love it , my dads radio was like this & it had a fake wood case lol
I actually really like this set. Do you think you could fit an echo dot in there? I would love to put my echo in there.
wow, much better than I expected
Apart from that, seems like 2024 is more focused on small-medium sized sets, no large sets as of yet. Large sets as in the box size like the loop coaster, rivendell, museum (I dont count museum as it was released in dec 2023)
Wow looks quite clever with sound brick fm radio awseome review
Nice must buy
Is that tuning knob operating backwards? Normally you'd turn clockwise to move the dial to the right - but it looks like on this one that move the dial to the left
Well with the Typewriter, Polaroid Camera, Film Camera and the Atari we are getting a lot of Retro sets that could make a cute shelf display
Just a idea I got for your new studio / display rooms. Buy a similar table as the one the Eiffel tower stands on and put the lego Colosseum on it. I think it would look super cool having them both on each side of the door especially because them both are big landmarks. Anyway I think you did an amazing job with all the design choices at the new place. 😃
Never thought I would need a lego radio before lol
The old-fashioned audio snippets are actually pretty cool. I wasn't sold at first but I'm starting to see the appeal of this set.
Really cool set for display 😊
I love this, 100% will buy.
That vintage radio 📻 is pretty neat 👌🏻.
What are the white grill pieces used here?
I thought about putting a bt speaker inside but honestly I'd use it to hide my phone while studying, maybe play some noise...lord knows if i see my phone light up I'm ditching everything😅 also it'll be useful on a desk or nightstand for white noise, a podcast, or listing to something when sound quality doesn't need to be high end to enjoy.
Question about the paper bags: is it real paper (that would disintegrate in water) or "plastified" paper (water resistant) ? I just had my latest Lego from Amazon delivered in a thick paper bag instead of the usual cardboard box, so of course I got a crushed Lego box, that also got pierced. I am happy it was not paper bags for this set.
I will be building one for my Lego room & tucking my speaker behind it!
I got paper bags in my last Lego set - it was the Planet Earth and Moon orbiting the Sun
That's kinda cool; I'll have to remind myself to get that....
Random, but I kinda like it. Rather than your phone, maybe put a small bluetooth speaker in there? Sound quality will probably be better, and you won't accidentally smash it when the phone rings...
That worm piece is used in the big Friends house of last year as an elevator piece.
How many times did he say, “I don’t know if I need this?” Newsflash, you never need any LEGO set. Just say you don’t like it. 😂

Oh. My. Goodness 😮it's so awesome. With the sound brick. Now that's tottaly. Rad ..
When do we ge the Lego legoset?
I’m definitely buying this Lego set
aqua blue is such a beautiful color, though ..
I would argue we don’t *need* any Lego set hahaha but I get what you mean
Wow my daughter (16) likes it. It looks a bit like my first owned radio from early 80ties, but I miss the cassette player.. that would be awesome! Then I could finally play my cassettes again..

This almost looks like the one I grew up a with only switch out the light green/aqua to a dark brown or tan color, and it would bring back my childhood. mom hanging clothes on the line and my brother and i playing with our hot wheels in the dirt.
This looks great! Why is there no sound brick in the new Mandrake?
I do like the colors🌸
Ok now I now what to maybe ask for my birthday
You probably can't wait to reveal and review the Barad-Dur Tower 10333.
The 2 LBG plates not fully aligned triggered me, and was wondering when is he going to notice it. I'm glad he make things right at the end of the video.
This is the coolest lego set
I was hoping that it had a BT speaker inside instead of just a compartment for hiding your phone.
It like 3 in 1 camera. Maybe lego going retro item line
Cool set. I would probably cover those studs with plates. You know I hate exposed studs. Otherwise it is really cool. .tfs
Good evening from Australia 🇦🇺
Love it 😍
People over in Europe had the paper bags for a while.
My set didn't have paper bags. Also i screwed up somewhere and it doesn't turn on😢
Do you know if this is the first lego radio
I see a face on the front… pretty cool
Maybe easily moddable with real electronic so you have a fully functional Lego radio 🤩
Love it
That's good.
They are not 100% paper bags. LEGO are following the 95/5 rule. This allows paper, coated in a plastic material, to be called paper. This means that when it’s recycled the gloop will be separated from the paper and dealt with separately.
It kinda reminds me of the radio from gilligans island
I think Bose makes a mini speaker that would fit inside with some small mods that would be much better
wow, so I am retro now :P
I have built this, And I gotta say it was amazing I dropped it the first time I built it and had to rebuild it😅 Still was fun
Man I thought the sound Brick was gonna be a blue tooth device for your phone!
Completely random yet technically is a super set. My son would probably have this just because it's different.
Can a Bluetooth speaker fit in the radio?
