@@darkroom0716 In most ways, yes, Slugger is one of us, but I think there is another side to Slugger that we saw today, the Galidor side. Galidor Slugger is a lonely creature cursed to forever wander a world that cannot understand him. He sees the warmth of the Bionicle fans' fires, hears the laughter as they celebrate the nine years of their chosen theme, but he knows those fires are not for him. He climbs into his metaphorical TDN Module and sets out in search of his own kind, but he knows it is fruitless. No matter how far he travels, no one he meets shares his pop cultural heritage. "What the heck is an Ooni?" "Kek Powerizer? Sorry, I'm not on 4chan." Slugger is the last of his kind. Maybe the only one there ever was. But he keeps on, regardless. He will never give up. Well, Slugger, I've never even held a Nick Bluetooth, and I can only name Nepol and Shimmer because I have Bricklink open right now, but I'll call those ratcheted Lego joints "Galidor joints" for you. Godspeed, Slugger.

I’ve often said that companies aren’t my friends and if they made my favorite product ever at the cost of the company going bankrupt all that means to me is that I get an amazing product.

I can't believe that RR Slugger videos are now becoming intertextual with prior RR Slugger videos in order to siphon their true entertainment value, this is glorious

5:36 It’s nice to see someone having fun with a set. There’s quite a few people out there that complain that why didn’t this minifigure come with leg printing or this should’ve been this color instead. It’s Lego, you are allowed to mod stuff. I’ve enjoyed occasionally modifying my own sets like giving minifigures extra details, adding a windscreen or specialized exhaust piece to my race car, an extra saddle to my dragon, or giving a high tech space blaster to my medieval knights, or just getting an extra minifigure to go along with a set they should’ve been included in. You’re not just stuck with the base model when you buy a set.

Those new System to Galidor Joint connectors are a godsend for mech design as a whole, previously we could only get that form factor using ball joints but those will often become loose if reused, so having the sturdiness of galidor joints is much preferable

I need a Dreamzzz subtheme of Rock Raiders/Galidor mash ups. That Granite Grinder looked like it came out of John Carpenter's "The Thing"

I had a thought earlier and I think something that draws me to your videos is your framing. Part of the enjoyment in watching lego reviews is window shopping. In other reviews its typical to do top down views while reviewer talks which can look unflattering or feel understimulating and often I don't watch through to the end. But in your videos it always feels like we get to see the builds at minifigure level and explore the whole (or most) of the set visually because of the way you plan your shots. And thats on top of all the set pieces and stop motion you make to go the extra mile which I bet is a lot more work to do for you. I guess I just hope you know how well it pays off.

@RRSlugger

Really? Thank you! Honestly, I sometimes feel like I don't have enough wide shots of a set, to better help communicate the orientation of things and whatnot, but this is good feedback to get. Here's a little secret - often times we're down at minifigure level because my tripod simply doesn't extend much higher than that! The scene where I sprinkled some Galidor parts onto the models was shot at max height for my tripod, to give some context. 😄 A happy accident then!

@Lordodragonss

I also adore this framing. Makes sets look more imposing.

The beginning of the video addressing a Galidor version of the "Bionicle dream" is actually extremely relatable, I've had dreams of finding unopened Galidor sets in unlikely places at least 3 times, glad I'm not alone. Also the part where you started to "review" the set, listing features the base set absolutely does not have was hilarious and I'm surprised I've never ever seen a joke like that in any kind of review video before.

Woow, wasn't expecting Spec Ops The Line being mentioned in a Lego video. Love it!

This is where you're mistaken: it's ALWAYS a Galidor video.

That "Dreams do come true" segment has me in pieces! Keep on keeping on mister Slugger!

The "Galidor joints" are used in the Knights Kingdom "constraction figures" as well as the 2006 LEGO SpongeBob SquarePants building set, "Build-a-Bob." I guess LEGO saw the potential in using those ratcheted ball joints, that they decided to use them again long after their debut in Galidor...

Whenever Slugger uploads it makes my day better, the quality is unmatched.

Another commentator has called this video "unhinged", and they're absolutely right! This one made me laugh out loud multiple times, and I had to pause the video so that I could get the giggles out and then pay attention! On the serious side, I 100% agree that we ought to call them "Galidor joints"; it just makes sense, that's what they're from! I also like you showing off the comics in the instructions, but I think I need to see more of those Fabuland instructions, please! Man, this one was really something else. Slugger's going nuts for Galidor. And we're going along for the entire ride! Thanks for another hit!

The bed stealer is the best thing I’ve seen in the past month

Slugger is a real goof nugget. That intro makes me giggle every time.

This was more chaotic than what I'm used to from Slugger videos :D Excluding the zoo

Nothing tops the Galidor joint when it comes to body horror in Lego. This gave me flashbacks to all of the deeply weird shenanigans my friends and I would get up to with Lego figures, cobbling together things that would make Sid from Toy Story recoil in horror. My favorites are still the dinosaurs, who doesn't wanna put a triceratops head on a T-rex body with dragon wings and flippers? There's something oddly satisfying about making really cursed Lego figures... I will say though, nothing we ever made is as disturbing as your minifigure with the Dreamzzz face sticker on it. Good God man, that's horrifying.

My first experience with the Galidor joints was Exo Force as a little kid, so I always associated them with that. Funny that they came all the way from Galidor, I think it's neat that a theme that flopped hard and is a big meme nowadays lives on through them

me: "oh a slugger video I guess I will have a look when I have time" also me: *giggling and head banging to summer of slug*

What a delightfully unhinged video, I appreciate all the Galidor love that you share with us in your videos. Galidor Joints ftw!!!

I'm not really into DreamZzz however I do have to admit it is funny that this reminds me much of the movie "Inside Out" and how Dreams are protrayed there. So all in all I think LEGO did a fun thing with these sets especially for kids as its target audience. 🙂 Also, as always, great video!

Man, your videos are so wacky, yet sincere, and remind me of what I love about LEGO- ITS FUN. AND IT SHOULD BE FUN, people’s gatekeeping and opinions be darned!

My favourite version of the galidor joint system was in the bahrag queens of bionicle, the technic 4 long half-beams that each went around a ring with a pin. A really incredible assembly for the strong but diverse motion of galidor translated to a 4 long ÷ o÷ technic beam, which gives plenty of good options. And the circular flaring at the ring area to fit the ring just looked cool anywats, I'd use them for things other than joints cos i liked the piece look.

Been waiting for your video on Dreamzzz! :) I bought Grimkeeper during my lunch break today, building tonight!!!

So I've been (lightly) collecting Monkie Kid sets since I got back into Lego, and I'm really appreciating how many sets have weird little call-backs to older eras. Plus so, so many Galidor-jointed mechs. Even a few that used more Bionicle-like builds. Silly as it might sound, there was something super nostalgic about seeing those old joints again in a bunny-driven bunny robot

I know I already left one comment, but I just realized a massive hole in this video's topic, the larger set you review, the crocodile car, is extremely similar in concept to the canceled Galidor set 8322! Both are red vehicles, with blue creature accents, with the biggest aspect of both being a sharp toothed head at the front of the vehicle. The only difference is the canceled set was a shark crossed with a bike.

Anyway, you've sold me on more Galidor maniacal energy. I might need to ponder on some weird MOCs.

i would like to make one nitpick- galidor may have pioneered the system, but i believe it was the knights kingdom action figures that introduced the parts as they are today. the parts they used for limbs have been retired since then, but the ratchet pieces with the technic pegs are the same design used way back when. the curved armour plate bricks established for that line are also still used today, even inspiring the shells used by ninjago’s evo sets and the like. knights kingdom means a lot to me, and i want to make sure its legacy is remembered.
