When are you going to review mc laren

How dense this build would be

@julienmauger6264

Yeah, so for 4 300 pieces, there must be a lot of small pieces... (and here the ratio price / piece is an illusion 😆)

If you made it out of black and grey blocks you'd have a very cool gothic dark souls/Bloodborne style cathedral

@klausm5460

29 күн бұрын

Interestingly, although we associate gothic architecture with dark walls, gargoyles and hidden corners these cathedrals were exceptionally airy and bright inside because of the larger windows compard with romanism and the light shade of the (unweathered) limestone.

yeah its way better than the usual ways

Tbh I'd add the cross on the top of the tower. It is an iconic part of an iconic building so why not? We did get american flag on the white house so they allow it in some cases and I don't see anything controversial about it.

I've experienced the huge repetition of the Tour eiffel, so I think that if I bring the new set of Notre Dame, I will find it enjoyable. I can't wait to buy it

Love the look of the set you have gone above and beyond to explaine the different years of construction

Its good but that circular window print should have been far more colourful

The first detailed and fair review of this interesting set, though i regret the very small scale limiting details. Well done Balazs !

That’s a stunning architecture set. The design really lends itself to Lego and the designers did a fantastic job.

This opens the gate to a plethora of iconic cathedrals - from the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona to the Duomo Firenze, St. Peter in Rome or St. Stephens in Vienna.

@Rollermonkey1

As iconic as Sagrada Familia is, I think you'd need about 40,000 pieces to have any chance of actually replicating the lack of repetition in its facades and other elements, so I really hope that they don't actually try.

I hope I'll get to build the Florence Cathedral one day.

How good are you at reviewing, I’m not the biggest technic fan. But your reviews are one of the best on the web. Thanks

I have to say I love the box opening like that! Will make it easier for those who don’t like doing the build in one sitting

One beautiful set

A beautiful construction, with a celebre monument.

by far the best Lego set to come out as a fan of Lego architecture sets, thank you for the deep review of this wonderful set. :)

love this guy

These deteails are very great! I think this set presents the building's structures very accurate. I missed that standpoint from another architect sets. So it will be my first architect set😊. Thanks for the review!

It looks pretty nice

Thank you for the video.

This is an awesome set to start building Architecture. I hope one day I can afford it

The set is pretty good I might buy it! But I now know all it’s advantages and disadvantages thanks to you!!😊😊😊

Glad to see it passed the swooshability test.

It's a nice set. Not for me but nice. As always, your builds and opinions are greatly appreciated.

Just received my set. Interestingly, the box looks like the one in your review, but does not have the lift off lid. Just the end opens and the contents removed that way. Thanks for your review, it was very informative.

Very cute.

With interior areas being obscured as the building progresses, detailed photos taken as well can create an additional display opportunity along with the actual physical build.

Il like it ! I'm sure interesting B models will emerge ! So much tan bricks for classicals builds.

I always wanted.

I'm surprised the Royale Eijsbouts aren't mentioned. They are the forgers of many important bells of important churches, including the Notre-Dame

Quite nice but smaller than I expected. Having built the Himeji Castle and pyramid I’m tempted, but it’ll need to be cheaper. What’s next from the Architecture series? Cologne cathedral please!

I was there when you posted the other video! It’s such a cool structure! I’m just sad I couldn’t go inside because of the fire.

While I was among those who were surprised (I actually told a guy two months before it was revealed how IF Lego ever did stray from their avoidance of religious themed buildings as an architecture set it would probably be something like this or St. Peter’s Basilica but I didn’t think it would be very likely. Shows what I knew.

2:46 The last time I visited Notre-Dame, there were burgundy curtains inside to drown out the noise of the city when someone enters, so maybe that's the red colour. Still, doesn't look nice.

The Religious aspect is kind of redundant at this point because literally how many shrines, and temples have we already seen from The Ninjago or I guess Monke Kids theme? That aside this is a spectacular set, and despite the repetitious nature of the build looks well worth the time as it should be able to display anywhere. Engineering the build as it was originally constructed is also a very clever touch. Between this the Icons Lamborghini, and GOTG Milano Lego is turning out some award winning sets this Spring/Summer season.

good point. i feel like most people will see this as something Paris-related rather than religious. No other Euro-American religious structure can get away with this.

hope to see speed champions set review in next video

Quite good set. I would like to build it. But i don’t have the money nor the place to put it. Very good review.

Sagrada familia or other gaudi building w would be cool, though their organic elements could be a challenge with lego

I need this so bad 😭🙏

They need to do a lego Hagia Sophia

Nice how long time wise it took u to complete and build this set

I cant wait to see how this will look next to the Eiffel Tower. Soon i will have a scale model of all of Paris!!!

mmmm... where do you put wheels and the motor to making it go? 🤔

The advantage of the size being not too big is that its easier to display. Looks like a great set for architecture lovers. Looks very nice. I wouldnt buy it because I generally dont like too much repetition.

I personally love it and cant wait to have it exposed somewhere in my apartment

The irony of using magic wands to recreate a famous cathedral.

Last boxes like these were classic space ones.

1:01 As far as I know, all the Technic 1:8 supercars boxes open like this.

Would love if they would do the Hagia Sophia, St. Peter's Basilica, or Cologne Cathedral next. Both are amazing architectural wonders outside of their religious functions.

@MH-sm5qk

28 күн бұрын

glad someone agrees! But the first two might be very controversial, and the last isn't as well known. Notre-Dame is just barely well-known among cathedrals because it's an icon of Paris.

The most iconic part of the cathedral is the spire with the cockerel above the cross, why did Lego transform it into a radio antenna?

I hope the interiors could be opened up easily for viewing

this makes me want an anor londo in lego

Looks better in person! Cool

Actually the tuxedo cat has a similar box opening

Does it come with fire/flame elements?

Is it flammable?

I was hoping for some clever technique for building that round wall at the back...

Well, Taj-Mahal is also a religious building. I see no reason why a cathedral would be a problem.

Notre Dame has crosses, small ones, but there are some. Where are they? Its a Cathedral...

First! Really cool set

Sadly no organ inside. You dont want to know how big the organ is, it huge. I miss the basic interior besides the pilars. Its nice but expected more.

Was this your first Architecture set? I don't think the theme is for you!! 😝

I was raised religious, but am not religious whatsoever as an adult and avoid it at all costs, but I absolutely love cathedrals from an architectual and human standpoint. They’re just amazing and the people’s dedication to building them over decades and even hundreds of years is incredible. I hope they do other cathedrals!
