I bought the new AT-AT a couple days ago, the first LEGO walker I’ve ever gotten (not counting small scout Walkers), and, while that price is pretty...crazy...it’s rather good, in terms of figures, design, interior space, height, color and display value. I almost got the AT-M6, but I didn’t for whatever reason, wonder what it’s like to have in person
Jang, thank you for your great videos! Now that Hidden Side is down, wouldn't it be great to have a look back on what went wrong with this series? Where were opportunities and where did LEGO make mistakes. I would really like to hear your thoughts on the topic because all the hate Hidden Side got for the App doesn't seem to blend in with the overall quality of the builds and sets.
@Wyattporter
3 жыл бұрын
In the opinion of a random commenter, I think Hidden Side failed because Nobody Asked For It. No one was clamoring for an AR Lego game (as far as I know), they just did one. If as much energy as goes into Ninjago went into Hidden Side, it would have succeeded. The obscure story shorts could have been a cartoon for sets that are clearly lore-heavy. Also the box art needed to show the sets not weird artwork
@martinohnenamen6147
3 жыл бұрын
Hidden Side had some good and even really good sets but horrible packaging for buyers and sellers in shops. And the App is just plain wrong for Lego. Lego is supposed to inspire creativity by building and get kids away from smart phones and not push them toward them.
@bertbergers9171
3 жыл бұрын
Lego should just never ever stimulate kids to pick up their phones to do toy stuff, Lego should want to stay and focus on being THE alternative to parents and kids to play without the use of a phone by the kids. Kids will learn phone shizzle randomly everywhere, Lego doesn´t have to train them in that, nor should Lego feel a need to incorporate the phone in fear of loosing the kids from playing Lego due to the phone. If Lego would continu to make great sets, kids will fantasize play themselves for ever. Some of the hidden side sets where nice, but some where diminished by the use of the (lime??)green haunted pieces. The school for instance was cool, but could have been better if the space needed for aunted action was used for creating play space.

Man, I’ve been watching this channel since I was seven, maybe younger, back when you did Hero Factory, and before that, god...one of the first channels I watched on a regular basis, I’m so glad to see this channel has continued for so long. Repetitive? Yeah, it can be, but that doesn’t take away from all the memories I have of this channel. Thanks for reading, whoever reads this, thank you, I’d like to hear what you guys think too.
I love how you sit behind the builds so you can get a proper sense of scale
I've been watching for so many years that I've lost count. And you brought the lego love back for me. I was picked on so much for what what I enjoy doing, and you let me know it is okay to be who I am
10 new shows for us starwars fans... It is a good day indeed jang

The x wings that they have done for the trilogy seem decent enough and good build quality and the first order snow speeder is only an unfortunate set that didn’t really get as much screen time as they thought it would. The first order at st is far worse than the snow speeder.
This is the best one, really enjoyed the last part
Agree about movement of scout walker - Back in 2013 the Galaxy Squad - Hive Crawler had an amazing leg mechanism. Something like that would have worked better.

Great video =) Cant wait until we get 2021 sets and get your insight on them Your the Bob Ross of Legos.
I appreciate the last minute of the video just being a silent message to the designer saying "I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed."
"Show, don't tell". So much meaningful. Best ending ever :D i laugh :)
i love how jang just sounds like a Dr who's really disappointed in their patient for not listening to them through this whole video. classic
I can't wait to see part 6 with the minifigs!
You had me at the 'Tie Dorito' and kept me with the silent breakdown on the Scout Walker
I like all these, and the crait speeder on sale is an EXCELLENT value for useful parts....also, if your having a SITH type day, the tie dagger could jack somone up!!! thanks jang!
JANG! hey man, I just stumbled onto your RC channel a few days ago, and now your lego channel! Just wanted to say how awesome I think your videos are! Thanks for taking the time and effort to put these together. Your RC videos got me back into driving, I've been out of the hobby for about 8 years. We really appreciate all your hard work! Thanks!!!
Never has silence been so eloquent as with the AT-ST roasting! Awesome.

The end was pure gold
Hey guys, looks like Jang here from ultimate Rc. This year i got back in rc cars and watchrd some of your old videos again, now this month im getting into lego again and i find you here too!
I love the sith tie fighter it looks awesome and there’s nothing wrong with it in my opinion. But great video!
IM SO HYPED FOR ALL THESE SHOWS( ESPECIALLY OBI WAN SHOW)
The end=perfect
Thanks Jang. The AT-ST just needs a detachable top.( Battle damage) 🤠
That AT-ST silence speaks volumes and is epic!
I've seen it time and a gain with lego. They do not do the "This goes with this" often especially with star wars sets. Maybe its a mentality of not wanting customers to buy loads of sets just for the figures? But they must know people do that! haha
Hopefully LEGO is watching this and is taking notes. He speaks for me.
That Thumbnail speaks for itself. "My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined." Looks at First Order AT-ST. I can't even believe Jang kept that thing yet even giving it some screen time again.
I liked the dorito tie
Omg, I was dying at that last one!
Basically more than I expected from this video, and no modell is missing
Now I know who you remind me of- BOB ROSS😁Your appearance kinda looks like him and definitely your voice
No comment on the AT-ST was the best critique possible on that horrendous set, haha! Gotta wholeheartedly disagree on the Heavy Scout Walker, though. I bought it out of pure curiosity and it truely subverted my expectations. For the legs to work, it had to have tires and even if the wheels were transparent, we'd still _see_ those tires. Playing with it for a time, I really felt that the walking function, while not perfect, was actually really fun.
Love this 😂
for me the first order heavy scout walker was one of my favorites! it is my favorite size for sets, not to big to be unwieldy in a small childs hands but not so small that its just a little speeder or something. the legs are cool and unique and its a fun upgrade to the ATST, I would like to see teddy bears destroy the new design. it also reminds me of some of the kenner original vehicles they made when they ran out of star wars ships, its cute and I would love to see lego to more original concepts.
I laughed so hard from 16:14 onwards! I still remember your original review of this dreaded set.

i had it on my mind aswell from the moment i saw it standing around.
Of these sets I see potential in the crawler. Mod it a little bit and I think it would be an interesting droid-machine. Like having it with a few troopers in the cyberpunk city, as a security droid.
Ironically, the AT-M6 is one of my favourite Star Wars sets ever! I keep 4 minifigures inside and a bunch of lightsabers and guns, plus its ape shape just rocks :P
I modded my ATM6 to contain 6 figures in the back and to have a much more accurate head and now I love it also neatened up the armour plating so that set was close to being great
1. I personally liked the Defense of Crait, but understand your criticisms of the play value. 2. The only reason I would get the Dorito fighter is if I found it on sale, it is too expensive in my opinion, especially with the 2021 $40 TIE.
Superficial and hollow Lego sets seem quite fitting when considering the film they were based on.
Does kind of pain me to see the KoR transport on here, even though it does fundamentally fail at what it exists to do. Still, I do understand, and agree even. I think the Resistance Transport Pod at least deserved an honorable mention just for how many stickers you had to put on the canopy, even though I think its a nice little shuttle.
While I own the battle on Crait, AT-M6 and First Order scout walker, myself, ad I love them for what they are, I do see where you're coming from with how each of the sets is flawed and imperfect. I'll still love them for what LEGO was able to do but I respect your opinion on them nonetheless.
I literally ROFLed at the last one. The silence was golden.
the spider walker was pretty freaking cool build, despite on being in the movies. Interesting concept and for what it was, I think interesting.
That walker with the wheels reminds me of the 2003 Bionicle set Takua and Pewku, which has an excellent walking emulation look to it. You should check it out, Jang!
That ending had me in tears
I wish I could hear Jang's thoughts on the new Disney/Star Wars/Marvel TV shows and movies
I was surprised to see the AT-M6 here, I love that set. Btw you forgot the Nightbuzzard does have a tiny bit of interior but it can only hold 1 figure.
Agreed entirely, great video
This might sound a bit weird but it’s actually really nice to know how little time you leave between filming a video and uploading it. That way it feels way more personal!
14:40, it's a hollow shell. It's like buying a dead turtle!
I couldn't stop laughing at the end of the vid....no words indeed...hahaha
no words needed
Can’t wait to get myself the new tie dorrito
I laughed so hard at the end.
That First Order AT-ST is a bizarre one!
I would've been sold on the AT-ST if it came with a full AT-ST build and then having the BB8 thing be a fun little extra thing on the side.
It’s been almost 2 years since I got a lego Star Wars set.
Everything on your list I completely understand and I am thankful that I never bought any of these sets.
Sam's brick lab did an amazing easy mod of the knights of renaissance transport. It was right along the lines of the way I was planning on fixing it. But it's a must Jang you may actually like it after thaf.
The knights of Ren transport ship seems to be the first macro fighter...
I loved the at-st part 😂
16:17 - 17:17 I havent seen funnier silent comedy that this in years
I'd like to forget the sequel trilogy EXCEPT for Kylo Ren. He was awesome. He was cool. I liked him. Adam Driver did FANTASTICALLY. I'd like them to keep the Kylo Ren merch rolling lol.
I bought the AT-M6. I can say it’s not the best AT-AT, but I like it, and it was the final nail on my LEGO collection
The last one was priceless
Saved the best for last I see.
