I think the reason Spider uses the 1 1/2 legs is that he’s shorter than the Na’vi in the film, shorter than the teenagers who use the 2 legs to make them shorter than the adults with the 3, so maybe he wouldn’t have to use the 1 1/2 legs if there was a 2 1/2 option but Lego probably doesn’t want to open that can of worms

Lego has been with the same figures for decades, I understand that these figures and their shape are iconic to the brand, it was a miracle that they made molds for figures like Darth Maul or the Tusken Raider. But its the last straw that for some things or even weapons they reuse the same mold for years. Look at Mega Construx, I swear they would have done something like the Hunters in the case of the Na'vi and they could have been awesome.

Avatar is probably my favorite Lego theme at the moment. Obviously I like the films but they just strike such a perfect balance between a play set and a display set. The side builds double as stands so there's almost no 'wasted' pieces if you want to display the main build like with a lot of other sets. But there's also a lot of figures and playability (swooshable)

I appreciate all the reef builds for how many new colour/piece combinations we've got. Whilst teal bananas aren't something I in particular was clamouring for, you just know there's someone out there whose build has finally been completed by it.

@hanburgundy4317

This. You never know when NPU can make or break a build. I follow a lot of contests that use one specific piece, and I can already envision all sorts of unique and eye-catching ways of using these bananas. Plus, they remind me of Donkey Kong 64, and I'd love a DK line featuring all five Kongs and bananas in their respective colors (DK yellow, Diddy red, Lanky blue, Tiny purple, Chunky green). With LEGO already doing so many Mario sets, we might eventually see Donkey Kong, Legend of Zelda, Kirby, Metroid, etc. Think of how much money they'd make if they came out with highly playable Super Smash Bros themed sets with collectible minifigs.

I think the reef builds/terrain builds in the Avatar sets are super important, a huge part of the movies' impact is how breathtaking Pandora is. If this were any other line they would feel super filler-y but Pandora's ecosystem is too foundational to the IP for the Lego theme to skip.

The sets might be pricy or have not very interesting side builds but they are REALLY acuarette ti the movie in my opinion.

He loves dinosaurs and it made him so happy. I also recently saw The Way of Water in theatres. My algorithm must be picking up on these things because I've never watched a Lego review on KZread until this one came in my recommendations. And I must say, this is a great review! It's thorough yet concise, and contains information that both hardcore Lego collectors and casual fans will find informative and useful. I give your review an A+.

I like the reef builds, I think they add a lot of interest to the sets without being prohibitively part intensive. The builds are all very movie accurate, so sales of these will most likely depend on the movie being a success. I wasn't interested in either of the Avatar movie waves so far, but just watched both recently and am at least a little more interested. If they go on sale then even better for my wallet. Lately Lego seems to be following a policy of releasing at a high price to test interest, then discount 10-20% to help sales so we'll see.

For a theme known for its conflict there's not much RDA personel. LEGO seems to avoid making a ton of humans for these sets and instead of giving Jake a basic LEGO gun they give him a crossbow. Like there's a total of now 3 RDA in both Avatar waves. They're atleast giving us a ton of wildlife and Na'vi. Anyways love the crabsuit and the Mako sub could be a bit better at closing those gaps.

I am actually surprised by your somehow honest opinion on the pricing of those sets. Personally I would love to see more playsets rather then buildable animals, like 75573 we had in a previous wave, but I really like those minifigures and might just get them loose.

Love this full wave reviews❤ Please do more!!

i love the skimwing sm dude,its soooo accurate to the movie its insane

Great video - I enjoy this “full wave” review format, and that you edit them to be relatively short and snappy! I’d be interested to see how well sets in a wave work together, rather than just a comparison between them. For instance, do the sets offer greater play value when bought together, or do they establish any “system within a system” features? Would also be great to see any creative ideas from you to reuse the pieces in an alternate build, if you have time!

I just saw the new movie yesterday (also since avatar was first announce to get sets I want a UCS style Samson gun ship (with the blue paint form the fight scene in the first movie)

Awesome review! Love when you go in depth on sets and show all the details! Keep up the phenomenal work!

I am loving these full wave reveiws!

Very nice review Tiago! Love to see one or two of these wave reviews every year. Very informative! The theme doesn't appeal to me so i'll pass on this one (as a bonus, it will save me a lot of cash). Cheers!!

7:19 I just find this scene hilarious, cooking a fish on the end of a handgun like this. Overall this wave seems a lot better & more interesting than the 1st wave as I actually want to get the Submarine set & the ilu discovery. That whale is pretty cool though, I might get that at some point. I just like coral reefs better & actually have some other underwater sets that would fit with this environment better like the water dragon from Ninjago, the turtle like Dragon of the East from Monkey Kid, & this oil rig set from Ultra Agents as well as some of my Atlantis sets.

I just picked up Payakan the Tulkun & Crabsuit, Ilu Discovery and the Neytiri & Thanator vs. AMP Suit Quaritch for the double VIP point day. Can’t wait to build these.

I actually really like these. For this price I probably won't get them, but they do their job well. I feel like these are pretty well balanced between being playsets and sets for collectors. And you cannot not like the colors of the reef areas

what a detail review i love this full detail review

I love how concise and to the point your review videos are! I have a feeling we will see big discounts on these sets in a few months… Also, I still feel they should have resurrected the Forma pin element to attach the vinyl fin pieces (and the banshee wings for that matter). Somehow these technic ball pins look really distracting.

I will now be waiting to purchase these when they go on sale.

I think what those sets are all about is, getting some piece for presentation on a shelf. That is why the reefs are key. I am not so sure about the reef home though. Doesn't really look all that impressive. But the animals sets should work for those inclined towards an Avatar Lego model. If they are ready to shelf out those prices? Maybe for the smaller sets.

My favorite part of the Avatar line is how unique the sets look. They're incredibly detailed and really stand out in a nice way from my other Lego sets. I love how the nature builds make the world look alien instead of just like Earth nature.

Series idea for Tiago: (day 16) Tiago should make a subreddit where people can post Mocs that he reviews and gives feedback monthly/weekly. It’s going to be good for both the fans who are looking to improve and will probably take Tiago less time to make.

The Payakan set is easily my favorite and will be a day ine purchase for me. I absolutely love the creature and it's design in the film and I love that we're finally getting a LEGO whale, even if it's an alien whale. The crabsuit is also a nice build and a cool design. I'll also be getting the Ilu set at some point as it's also a great little set and I love the creature too. Despite the high prices of the theme, I'm really impressed with the theme on the whole and I'll probably end up getting all of the sets eventually.

I love seeing the non standard lego parts, thin plastic panels are useful for specific designs

While these sets do have their flaws like you mentioned, as a whole this wave is really strong and I love the use of funky colours. Cant wait to get them all to see the figs in person and build a world!

You say not a lot of play but tbh the fact that the set has plastic wings instead of cloth or something like that REALLY reminds me of being a kid and how AWESOME these sets would be to play with in the bathtub. I use to always play with my lego in the tub with the Atlantis series. but even though they were from a underwater theme they didnt feel like the really worked in the bathtub. Tbh they were really big/Bulky But these? These look like I would have had lots and lots of fun playing with them

great review

I think the short bendable legs on the human are to make the other figures seem even bigger

This so cool very interesting sets loved the movie as well

creatures in lego are always good for kids, they are like big customizable dolls

It's true that the prices are absurd, but these are some of the most gorgeous and displayable LEGO sets ever! The only real problem with playability is that LEGO didn't include more "bad guys" vehicles, like the harpoon boats, the Sea Dragon ship, or the Sea Wasp rotorcraft.

The arms and legs of the tall avatar characters are a re-use of Lego's old Toy Story 1, 2 and 3 molds used on Woodie and Jessie respectively.

Indeed! Pricey... But great nontheless!

Does anyone know why Spider is in the submarine ?? Can´t recall that from the movie.... What I don´t like is that the moulds for the creature-heads have a way duller finish than the brickbuild bodies - weird concept. The reefs I feel are just there to drive the piece count in a cheap way. The prices still remain insane....but there will be discounts....got the tree of souls for 83,99€...and that worked for me but most unlikely for the retailer!

Payakan the tulkan and crabsuit and metkayina reef home price remains. Mako submarine is now $47.99 Skimwing adventure is $27.99 And ilu discovery is $23.99.

I love lego's creature builds

Me getting a notification from Tiago thinking it was an R34 review. Not disappointed but I didn't expect this :D (still please give us the R34 everyone is dying for it)

I really like that they made it for displaying and not playing I really want to collect them all for display

Was really hoping all these would connect somehow to make a giant display like the first wave! Still gonna get them all love this movie.

I find it funny when you said the Mekaying village would not sell much when it has already sold out as of time of post. it did not last long and it has that unique figures in it that will make it quite valuable in the second hand market.

One of thoses sets have the perfect wings to make a Mothra.

The payakun is the only one that I would consider he's my faverite character of a movie and it looks really good but the crabsuit is also very nice

these definitely feel more targeted at fans of the film and an older audience, as a huge avatar fan I'm looking to get all the sets for the collectability and displaybility of it. also at some point down the line those reefs are a great starting point for an avatar lego moc of pandora

I feel that if they add end one set to the line up it would make them all go together. That being the boat raft thing. For playability.

I’m not expecting it to happen but I would love an 18+ set based on Avatar. As a 23 year old I’m getting back into LEGO after being obsessed with it as a kid. Naturally I am most interested in the adult sets and want to support everything about the Avatar franchise.

Didn’t think Lego would ever price sets higher than Star Wars sets lol. But when you break down how many new molds there are it does make more sense strictly because some of those pieces (the heads and animal parts mostly) won’t be able to be used in other licenses without slight retools. The legs were used before I believe in a CMF. Seems in my eyes you are spot on with this being a niche product for a niche market. Wouldn’t be surprised if Lego didn’t produce as many of these sets as other lines. Supply and demand. Low supply for low demand means higher prices

The ilu is so adorable… 😚

These are actually pretty beautiful kits.

They will go nicely with my SW sets as I make a Savage Land. I can use the first wave sets to make a bigger tribe now.
