Nice work, you need to modify the direction of the Sand Dunes to make it in one direction not mirrored.

The end result of getting a full pyramid is quite nice. The fact that there is a Technic pin already present is fishy. LEGO wants us to buy two sets apparently...

I'm wondering if the pyramid "shell" should also be built as a whole in order to avoid the split down the middle. I'm guessing it might be hard to grip the shell though and remove it. I'm also tempted to just buy the pieces to make up the second half as you have done for just the base and pyramid shell (not including the unbuilt half underneath) as it seems a lot of pieces from the second set will be unneeded - I haven't figured out if this would be a cost saving or not.

Nice work. I suggest reversing the direction of dunes at the sides so they're all windswept in the same way. Also, the rear would benefit from sand too, instead of the layered darker plates. Being on the leeward side I don't think there would be dunes, but some texture would work

Amazing customisation, by any chance could you release the build instructions for the second half?

I love mythology, norse, Greek, Egyptian they're all really interesting. I love that Lego finally made a historical pyramid build but I just don't want to buy 2 to display it how I want. Hopefully I can find them on sale soon, it's a beautiful build I'd hate to miss out on it

This is superb attention to detail, and from the first reveal one of the largest glaring issues with simply placing two of these together. Not so much the surrounding Nile which you rectified beautifully but not having the inner duct system properly lining up. Reverse building it couldn't have been easy but the ending result when separated looks well worth the time effort.

Great job! I have been pondering something similar for this set, it was clear to me from the start that I would need two sets and more, as I also want to incorporate a Sphinx. Inspiring stuff!

I feel that I've been doing this a lot lately with Lego sets...that they're impressive, but in need of "fixing". I guess that's the beauty of Lego. I spent several weeks rebuilding and improving the Lego Titanic and just the other day I had to make a few small mods to my Optimus Prime to fix some minor problems. 🤷‍♂️. Stellar job on THIS mod...it would prove too expensive for me as I need the new castle! 👍

I love the historical accuracy of the white and gold, as well as the chambers.

Honestly, I like that the back is exposed. It shows the accurate tunnels carved into the real pyramid. Plus the front is so damn pretty by itself

Great to see this. Thanks for posting

I love this video, its short ..nice, but very well presented, especially the camera pull-outs.

Thanks to your link, I was able to get this set early in the US! It was my first time buying LEGO from an unfamiliar site, but it arrived quicker than I thought and now sits in my room :)

As someone who enjoys modifying official LEGO sets instead of building MOCs from scratch, I can appreciate this!

This was such a great video! I loved the black background so we could really see what was going on with the build. You did a fantastic job on this project! Thank you, Marc!

I love everything EGYPTIAN so I'm definitely getting this especially the history of their empires and mythology a must have. The Nile inclusion is a great bonus with that solid layered depth building technique and the mini boats have some clever parts usage, I like micro builds but have never really gotten into them but these wonders of the world sub theme are very appealing hope they make Hanging Gardens of Babaylon or even a more stylised Mount Olympus would be cool. I'll be putting it right against the wall don't necessarily need a full pyramid as the illusion is created but would have preferred a full one with a more detailed interior with some booby traps love the other buildings included with the spire/tower and sphinxes and the overall foliage looks like a cracking build.

Could you please give us some instructions on how to build your mod, along with what extra pieces you needed? I just finished the first half and decided to buy a second one, so I'd LOVE to know how you changed it to work so well. Particularly mirroring the inside!

I'm honestly a little shocked they would make this set and only include half the pyramid xD Those connection points are a taunt- and it worked on you!

Given how much time and effort I put forth to get the Mos Eisley set, I can’t imagine just having it in a drawer I built. I am excited about the Pyramid set though. I’ll tide myself over with the Loop Coaster until August gets here.

"This is the wy it meant to be" Absolutly right! If there would have been a full pyramid and not that much changes in design of the Temples and Pyramids in front of... and if Lego have been intelligent enough to place the correct picture of the Great (Khufu`s Pyramid) in the instruction.... and the price was still the same, I would love to buy that set. But the way they did is just so dissapointing!

Thanks

That was great how you modified the pyramid and you are exactly correct...that is the way it should have come out of the box from Lego!!! 2 sets are expensive..... Great job! Thank you!

Hey, great job man. Could you tell te type of the boxes you use to organize bricks. I saw its a Husky, but can't find exact set you've got with sliding tray. Thanks!

Fantastic work!

I'm honestly surprised that lego didn't make instructions for a modification for this in the first place since they gave us the axel bricks for it

looks amazing!

Thank you for making this video the perfect length. I feel like some people would try to drag it out for 15/20 minutes

i have two sets coming today, cant wait to get started. im just glad i sa this video and realized it needed two sets to be whole

That was such a good video!

You made this set look much better, the way it should have been made originally. What lego parts storage system do you use?

This is clean!

Awesome video 🥰❤️

Love the look, may need to do that myself

Great video - is there a specific list of the extra parts needed (taken from the Mos Eisley set)? Don't have that set so may need to improvise.

What extra pieces did you need? what to get these ahead of time before i build.

That rotating shot with epic music at the end was awesome! And yes, looks like Lego wants completionists/perfectionists to buy a 2nd set and then some! Grrr...

Awesome! You should do this with the Colosseum too!

the end looks so worth it, nicely done.

That’s pretty slick my friend. 😎

Your videos are really nice to watch But what I love is that you are showing the very essence of LEGO Your creativity has (somewhat) beat corporate soullessness

Sick edit👍👍👍

Looks sweet not sure if I want to shell out money for two lol love how that astronaut looks at beginning of video hope the family iS well .. yes only issue is zavvi taking long time to ship (only sometimes when it goes out of stock temporarily)

Great work. I'm so sad, that Lego wasn't be able to give us this set.... Now, THIS is a complete model.

So wonderful! And simple!!!

I hope you get this, I would like to know what Husky storage container you are using in this video, it looks plastic, stackable with sorting drawers that can be pulled out. I cannot seem to find this set?

The half pyramid is such a dumb design for their price honestly

What is that Lego space man you showed at 0:22? Where can I buy this?

I would love to see the same done with the Disney Castle, as it too is missing the back half. Except the back isn’t something you can base off the front design since it’s different. And it’s pretty evident in the front since spires in the back can also be seen in the front on the actual castle. Even the small version is just half the castle.

Genius 👏👏👏👏

This set looks great and thanks for the heads-up on the DeLorean. I've been looking for that set for awhile. Now I got it 10% off! 😁

Any potential for a full bricks list for building the back half?

Is this a posted part list ? For the extras

Ive made the pyramide outer layer in one piece and still have the cut underneath. Replaced one of the tombs inside with some gold artifacts. Made the river 10 studs wide with more boats and enlarged the village.

Is there any way you could supply a BOM in this description for the parts that you had to acquire extra?

It is designed a certain way so you can actually display it on a shelf or against a wall so it doesn't need to be ''fixed'.

That's a great idea using the Husky boxes for LEGO storage. I just might go get a couple. NICE build too

Great job

You did a good job!

Looks PERFECT 👍🏻

Finally someone did this !

Good job 👍🏼, I got a second one to do the same except I plan to put sand dunes around the back.

Nice job! I will be doing this myself when I get my hands on two sets! I was bummed when they revealed only half of a pyramid.

We’re did you get your black storage box from please

Hey I'm not sure if you will answer this, but I'm right now searching for a shelf to sort my Legos into, what sort of shelf system do you use? :) Would be a pleasure if you would find the time to answer :))

Pouring those pieces loose out of the box like that gave me an anxiety attack lol

Nice!

Imagine buying two of these if you could buy instead a Saturn V and a Cobi Titanic or Lego Space Shuttle. Or a Cada Italian Sports car and a Saturn V.

Ah yes, how to fix this Lego set. Step 1. Buy another, Step 2. That’s it. Just buy two.

I would love to see something similar with the Roman Colosseum, which multiple sets used to make it look like it did in it’s heyday

I wonder what a ‘minimal’ second half would look like. Skip the internals - just the outer skin and the internal bracing. May be possible to bricklink but I don’t know how rare those white old style roof bricks are?

Would u be willing to write up some instructions showing how u did this and what extra pieces you used for us that are new to Lego? It would be greatly appreciated

Which pieces did you need to bring in? Where did you need to use them?

What are the extra bricks that you needed to complete the second half?

Damn, never thought I’d see someone wearing a smith rock hoodie. Grew up 5 mins away from there.

Great work! Forgot to turn the dunes around tho so that they all face the same direction

Excellent modification. 👍👍

Do you have the instructions. For what you’ve done posted somewhere? This is what I want to do when I can get these

What is that awesome spaceman set that you show off at the start?

Love what you did with this set! Love your Husky storage solution even more, can you do a video or tell me where and what kind Husky storage this is? It would be awesome if you have a discount code.

As for the complaints here. Lego offered this as a choice. You want a lower price and less size you build the kit as is. You want the full pyramid you buy two kits. You were not going to get the full size any cheaper. I feel they gave you the option not ripping you off. This kit could have been $260 and you had no choice.

lego should take note of these. For those who are considering doing it.

I have done exactly the sale a few weeks ago but extened the Nile with more boats and put a sfynxs on the bigger desert side

Wow. The pyramid look beautiful

“Fine, I’ll do it myself”

Sniped a 10300 delorean! Been trying to get one for months! Thank you!!!

What’s the storage unit u have!?

Fabulous! Wish the original set to look exactly like that.

Any way to get a list of the peices needed to modify the second half???

do you know what the extra parts you used were? i don’t have the mos eisley cantina so gonna need to get the parts from bricklink

Idk is I built it wrong or something but mine keeps breaking like I can’t pick it up at all just being able to touch it in the shelf

Finished the full Pyramid on 25/06/2022, widened the river a few days later, now I'm designing the next stage to make it a 945mm long build. And yes I mirrored the dancing man AND changed the sand dunes

Great fucking shots, dude. Can tell you put a lot of thought and effort into lighting and camera movement. Looks like a commercial! It’s appreciated.

I would also switch orientation of the dunes on the other side and maybe put some buildings on the other side of the pyramid.

what was that astronaut set in the beginning? that was so cool

Lego looking at this😳

Hey, briQ foundatition, on zavvi, do they sell retired sets like the ninjago city docks set?

im not okay with them selling half a pyramid knowing people sould want the full one

That's LEGO policy for you: Buy 2 get 1.
