The drill vehicle looks so cool

I'm not gonna lie, I was genuinely disappointed when I found out they canceled the CCBS Super Battle Droid. I literally never buy multiples of the same set, but that would have been an exception. It would have been so cool to see multiple Super Battle Droids lined up next to the General Grievous model.

What's extraordinary with Europa is how appealing the village buildings look, even though they use the lcassic red/yellow/blue/green colours.

You're a brave man... walking backwards through rooms filled with completed Lego sets! 🙂

Man I really hope we get that Temple of Doom lego set. I mean they paid a lego designer to produce the design for it, they created the box art and no doubt the manual has been made. I also hope we get more in the future. The Indiana jones line has so much potential. Cheers for the video, good watch!

I agree. It's just a Lego set, they should have been allowed to release it.

The Indiana Jones one hurts the most. The fact that the line may very well be dead after already being introduced is one of the most infuriating things Lego could potentially ever do.

@@thebutterstick8659 A shame if they do because I really would like to have seen more sets based on the first three movies including the flying wing again.

A little ironic that they redesigned the Las Vegas Skyline set because of the Las Vegas shooting that killed 60 people... but they had no problem releasing the Titanic as set, where 1500 people died. But to be fair there's a big difference between an event that happened in 2017 and one that happened in 1912.

I really think the Europa line would have been great, as it was what was going in Lego's "Europe" during the same timeline as the Pirates sets. The soldiers in the Europa set are identical to the ones from the Imperials from 1989. I could actually see it going from the 1600s-1800s and sort of bridges the gap between the 80s-90s era Castle era to the 80s-90s City era.

New Lego Movie Sets: 70843 Chainsaw Dave's Battle Vehicle - 588 pcs - 4 figs - $60 70844 Unikitty Playground - 756 pcs - 6 figs - $80 70845 The Batmobile Drill - 1745 pcs - 8 figs - $200

14:11 I really hope a prototype sculpt shows up for this, as it has with Seatron. The Dragonmasters dragon is my favorite specialised lego piece of all time, and I would LOVE to own one of these, even if it was a 3D print. I also wish for more pics of it.

Mark stafford (the most notable person who designs superhero sets) spent a year working on a superhero set that never got released. No wonder 2019 was such a barren year for dc. To be fair, I don’t actually see the set selling that well unfortunately.

27:46 If that set did get released. It could've been modified to become the Underminer's large drill tank from the end of the first Incredibles / the begining of Incredibles 2.

I will never forget LEGO for cancelling the LEGO Movie 2 batmobile

Geez, I really thought that Batman's battle vehicle released. Guess I thought wrong. Such a cool design too, it almost feels more like a MOC rather than an official retail set!

There are reports out there that it was the rights-holder that made the decision to cancel the Temple of Doom set rather than LEGO. Not sure if that's true but it wouldn't surprise me if it is.

To be honest, having an electric toy (monorail) for an underwater theme is a recipe for disaster.

Thank you for such an interesting and informative video! Although I've never been a fan of constraction-style figures, I can appreciate the important role they played in forming the LEGO we know today. And I have to agree that Batman's Battle Vehicle would have been so cool as a set. Personally, I mostly just wish that the yellow cement mixer truck will eventually be re-worked into an official set, as we've only ever gotten one rather underwhelming CITY cement mixer.

It's also really cool to see the DNA of the Seatron prototypes present in Aquazone. The black and green color scheme was used for Aquaraiders, and we can see the big raised baseplates paired together in the same way they were used for the Aquanauts base set. And some of those sea-people craft resemble some of the Aquazone Sting-Rays sets, like the little crab mech. Also, the way you have some of your sets haphazardly stacked on top of one another horrifies me. Bruh. You gotta be willing to disassemble some of your sets if you don't have the display space.

Wow, I've never seen those 2012 Superheroes Aquaman and Superman figures before. It seems like LEGO were really trying hard to expand on the CCBS system... Such as shame they just kind of gave up on it as soon as the sales dropped.

7:47 If LEGO had done this instead, their building system would have never been as popular as it is today. Especially with inflation considered, people would just shrug their shoulders and assume the LEGO building system no different than cheaper dolls and action figures from other toy companies, then walk away. Remember that action figures from the Galidor line could not really interface or interlock with other LEGO pieces. Minifigures can. Plus, having larger-scale action figures would have required prohibitively larger models that take up much more space and cost people much more money. Even with minifigures, we still complain day after day, week after week, and year after year about how overpriced all kinds of LEGO sets from all kinds of different LEGO themes have become. Imagine just how much more expensive LEGO would be if everything were produced at action figure scale. Minifigures are small enough that we do not need to build huge, space-consuming vehicles and structures to play with them. Yes, they may have much less articulation, and yes, they may be much less authentic, but in return, they are cheap, robust, and compact. And sometimes, the best products that roll off the assembly line come in small packages. Imagine if action figures like the ones in the Galidor line were used instead of minifigures in The LEGO Movie that launched in 2014. Everything in the movie would have been built at a larger scale and the characters would have likely looked not that much different from non-LEGO characters in non-LEGO movies. Even if the same animation style was used, the action figure characters onscreen would still look out of place in a brick-built environment. Kids and parents would not have been able to distinguish the characters as LEGO characters as easily as they did. Do you think as many people would have wanted to see the movie then? Nope. Why? It would have looked no different than a regular, non-LEGO stop-motion movie, which there were plenty of those out there already before The LEGO Movie and its spinoffs launched (Fantastic Mr. Fox, ParaNorman, etc.). People would have just walked away thinking The LEGO Movie was ultimately just more of the same, the whole movie would have been a box office disappointment, and the sequel and spinoff films would have never seen the light of day. (By the way, we also probably wouldn't have gotten the Playmobil movie that launched in 2019.) A primary reason why The LEGO Movie was as successful as it was has to do with the nostalgia of the LEGO building system. Remember that LEGO Minifigures have been around since 1978, and many generations of children have cycled through since then. Many adults today were children during the earlier days of LEGO and remember the Minifigure as an icon of their childhood years. With a minifigure character, these people, and the majority of those in the more recent generations, can all tell straight away that the character is LEGO. With an action figure, people have to ask themselves, is this character a toy or a real person? If their joints are exposed on camera, then people have to ask themselves, is this character supposed to be a living being or a robot? (we had this problem with Bionicle!) None of that is confirmed until it is said or shown in the movie that the character is a toy human or robot. But with LEGO Minifigures, the audience can look at the characters onscreen and not need any background information or context to tell they are LEGO characters. That ability to recognize the type of characters quickly allows more room for story development throughout the film and appeals to the audience. So in my opinion, I do believe that we should be extremely grateful that LEGO stayed true to the minifigure. If we want action figures, there's plenty of places out there to buy action figures. Many companies are great at making action figures, and I can point you to all kinds of different shops and stores that can perfectly satisfy your cravings for good, high-quality action figures. But if there's one thing that has been made clear after so many years of countless knockoff copycat brands, its that no company is better at producing the LEGO minifigure or LEGO pieces than LEGO itself.

if LEGO decides to release that cancellled Batman Battle drill Vehicle i'll definitely going to get one

The Temple of Doom really gets me. Since I was a kid, Temple of Doom was my favorite movie. I had the old set when I was little, it was my favorite set… the mine track, dumping the rocks on people, the trap door at the top, the awesome minifigure lineup, what a set! I was so hyped when I saw the new one. I really hate what’s happening to society at large as I get older. Something like a canceled ToD set is symptomatic of our overall culture in 2023-24 and that disgusts me. How sad, honestly

Great top 10 vid. Thanks Chris

awesome episode

The fact we didnt get Seatron... is a capital crime. I would have loved the aliens sets as a kid in the 90s. Crap, man; they had creature sailfin pieces that weren't used in sets until 2000. Not only that but they featured the UFO hull parts.

Batman's a big fan of the Thunder Driller, I see

I really wish we would have got that Lego city criminal lair

That pic at 2:42 is bigger than you might realize as the alien's head and arms there is sourced from mega blok's planetoid line! In modern times lego has borrowed more and more part designs from mega to further the possibilities of their own building system, but this shows the use of competition parts for inspiration goes back far further than one might think!

We existed in the 1980's, but LEGO hadn't directed any marketing budget towards us at that point.

I think the 20s gangster theme could've worked, and would probably work if it was released today. It probably wouldn't happen, because Lego wouldn't want a theme that would outsell city, though.
