I stand corrected! Captain Hook did in fact had a pocket watch! It can be seen when he's waiting on the bomb he sent to Peter Pan to explode! It seems the US VHS cases where white instead of the transparent ones from Europe I was more familiar with! Sorry! *LEGO sets in this video:* Disney Villains ❯ bit.ly/3LMBUqb Hogwarts Icons ❯ bit.ly/46bYzEE Jurassic Park Sets ❯ bit.ly/3LEaORV Pac-Man Arcade ❯ bit.ly/3ZE6TKF

I grew up in the US, and I'm used to seeing cassette tape boxes being made of opaque white plastic. I guess it was different in Europe

Captain Hook had a pocket watch! The Crocodile ate it along with his hand, that’s why it makes a ticking noise that he’s afraid of. You’re right we don’t ever see it though, because it’s inside the crocodile.

Never thought Tiago would say “simping” in a video

To me, this looks like a left-side bookend, which makes me wonder if another set with more villains - or possibly one with princesses or heroes - will be released in the future to serve as the right-side bookend

The apple and other accessories look great but I agree the VHS tapes don’t scream “VHS” to me. Yay for new Disney Minifigs!! ..now fingers crossed for a Belle minifig one day 🌹⭐️

I grew up in the 90s and these are actually very nostalgic. I had each of these movies on VHS and the covers did indeed look very similar to how they are portrayed here. Little mermaid and ursala would have been a great 5th VHS to add to this.

Normally I don't care about the Disney sets but my late brother who had severe autism was obsessed with collecting the Disney VHS' line and, being these are all from the classic era of Disney animation these are also some of his favorite movies. I know I'm a very niche case that I'm doubtful LEGO could have planned for but I genuinely got some tears in my eye seeing the loving details of this set and the recreation of the VHS tape really brings back some loving memories of my brother. You got me, LEGO, I'll be snatching this one up for display.

I agree with you, in comparison to the Harry Potter Icon set, this one is a bit underwhelming. I feel like they should have stuck with books as a base to keep a timeless feel, but also in reference to the openings of many of these films. I also think better icons could have been used: - A Half Painted Red and White rose for the Queen of Hearts could have worked, and we know lego can do roses well. - Ursula's Shell Necklace would have made sense for the Little Mermaid - Maybe Jafar's Cobra Staff or even Iago could have worked well for Aladdin. - I kind of think Captain Hook's actual hook could have been an interesting build And then maybe they could have had books for Maleficent, Gaston and maybe Cruella De Vil, because she is definitely an icon of a villain. They could have also had some fun and thrown in Yzma's Llama Potion and Dr. Facilier's Talisman.

As a display piece i agree it looks really mediocre, but i have to give credit for those minimalist images of Jafar and Melificent on the cases. Those just look beautiful. I wish they had made art pieces like that the focus of the set instead of the non-diagetic objects

Totally agree that we needed actual Villain icons--not items with villain branding! I just wish that the VHS cases opened up to hold the VHS tape. I will be building the VHS cassette separately.

So, in the US at least, Disney VHS tapes were stylized with white plastic clamshells rather than the more common cardboard slip-covers, so these kinda do read as VHS tapes to me, but i would have rather had a more accurate recreation of the covers of the VHS tapes rather than the villain designs in the set. Obviously this is a set about villains, but if they wanted these to read as VHS tapes, they suould have made them look like the actual VHS tapes

Funny thing is, I’m a 90s kid and I watched all these movies back in the day but they were not in official pretty boxes but rather in some generic VHS cases, so not only these look like books to me as well, even if I saw them as cases they would not bring the nostalgia.

The sides of the Disney VHS tapes were white back then not translucent.

Really wish they had included some more villains as minifigs though, there are so many iconic ones!

This is super nostalgic as growing up with VHS the cases built/displayed here in NA were known as clamshells and reserved for animated/family orientated movies. Most other movies had the slip case box treatment. Clamshells were characteristically bigger, plastic as they were more durable than than the box cases. Overall this is a really cool set. Interesting builds/minifigs/easter eggs scattered about. The pocket watch makes sense because it can be still heard inside the crocodile that snatches off his hand often chasing him away.

7:27 "Wait a minute, there was no cane in Citizen Kane!"

Your criticism about people under 25 not knowing what a VHS tape is might be fair. But this is clearly a nostalgia set for people who grew up with Disney VHS release (aka people who are 25 - 40) or even their parents. I went to Disney World last year with my partner's family and they are DISNEY PEOPLE. And a lot of the merchandise there is aimed at people like this. It's unique and targets a very specific kind of nostalgia. Personally I'm adding this to a list of Christmas items to give to my partner's mom because I know she would love it.

A pocket watch is Hook's iconic item from the book. The croc bites his hand off while holding the pocket watch, and giving him his namesake feature. The croc, now having tasted Hook, wants to eat the rest of him, forever hunting him. Hook can always get away because he can hear the ticking, but lives in fear knowing one day the watch will stop...

Hook's pocket watch is an important part of the story.

I think this is fantatsic ! I pre ordered as soon as i could and cant wait to receive it next week. I grew up with VHS and for me, its amazing ! And captain hook does have a pocket watch

I have the sleeping beauty and Aladdin vhs on display and the sides are white, not transparent. Only certain VHS cases were transparent. Great video! I really want this set now!

I'm from 1999 and I know what VCR and cassette tape is and I love it.❤📼

My grandmom had--and still does have--a sizeable collection of vhs' that I always enjoyed playing. I told her that they were like blue-ray dvds in how when you take it out it remembers where your where at in the film. vhs tapes hold a special place in my heart even though i'm just a teen. Nice review btw :D

This feels to me like they just made some random builds so they could sell minifigs for $130

Not a disney fan but honestly if I had one in my life I'd consider getting this to give to them just so I can keep the brick built VHS for myself. So cool!

Awesome set! Probably I'll purchase it. Thanks for the video!

As an owner of plenty of vhs tapes I can confirm the sides are white and not clear. Loved the video Tiago, and although I will not be buying this set I can at least appreciate it through your video!

Looks exactly like the clamshell VHS collection I had as a kid. Fond memories

I think Captain Hook DID have a pocket watch in Peter Pan, but it wasn't something ever really focussed on? I seem to remember him having one to watch the time for when the bomb he left for Peter would explode, and I think he pulled it out in his conversation with Tinkerbell...? And the Queen of Hearts being a playing card makes sense because her character originated from a playing card, all her subjects are literal playing cards, and I think during the chase scene right before Alice wakes up, there's a whole cloud of them falling that the Queen might be part of? It's been a long time since I watched either movie, though I saw them both a decent amount of times when I was a kid.

I think in Australia we got both the transparent AND white VHS cases. I remember if you rented them from video stores especially, they'd put them in all-white generic cases instead of the proper cases they kept on the shelves.

I am 25 in September and i know alot about VHS tapes we had a whole collection growing up and even remember being able to record a movie or tv series on a blank tape for later viewing. If i had the money i would buy this immediately because it brings a heap of nostalgia

Maybe they need a Lego Senior category for this sort of set…

Omg! You make my day every time!🔥🔥🔥⚡️⚡️⚡️

I have to respectfully disagree. I am 30 years old and have a VHS collection of over 120 VHS tapes. Most people from my generation find VHS (especially Disney VHS) very nostalgic and it's the VHS tape alone that entises people to pick up this set, in my opinion.

Great review! Thanks!

this is very beautiful display piece ❤️

VHS tapes and Tape Cover. Haven't heard those words for awhile already

Captain Hook had his pocket watch eaten along with his hand by a crocodile (hence the hook). That same crocodile would make a tick tick sound when he would be seen swimming around tormenting Captain Hook. It qualifies as an icon

During the ‘90s, Disney video cassettes came in book-like cases just like these, at least here in the States.

Wow looks awesome i remember vhs tapes in the 80s great review

Really nice presentation.Could you do the up house?

"What can we use to reference Ursala?" " I dunno a videotape?" The VHS boxes do look like them with the black line representing the seam.

3:40 - All my disney cases where white back then :D I guess Europe had it different!

Yes, also looking forward to your jurassic and pac man reviews. See i made it to the end.

thank you for this review. I thought all the cases were books. Sadly the VHS tapes are not that great. I would love to see Lego make some books like the one in this set.

I think the Peter Pan watch face references when they landed on the face of Big Ben

I can't say I'm concerned what people under 25 recognize when it comes to Lego sets. I like this set

I love this! I saw they were VHS tapes and thought it was very cool. Not sure why anything other than the actual tape can't be a book. Beauty and the Beast seems more like a book. They are not uniform sizes. Being over 50 I remember these being released on VHS. It was a big deal as it was about the only way to see Disney movies. They would release movies out of the vault for a limited time. Older movies could finally be watched. I still have my Disney VHS tapes. I can’t seem to part with them. Some movies you can’t get anymore. They also came with extra items. I know I have lithographs from some. Most were 4 or 5 pictures from the movie. I have Pooh and The Lion King framed. The rest of the art is stored away. It was a bummer when you had to buy them all again on DVD. ☹️ They were all released with great fanfare. Like waiting for Lego sets to be released! And then retired.

If I remember correctly Captain Hook didn't have a pocket watch. But there was an alarm clock in the movie... which was swallowed by the crocodile, along with Hook's hand. So that might be the connection.

Lovely video tiago!

Will you do a mega review of all the summer Ninjago sets like you did with the winter wave?

PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWERS!!!! itty bitty living space.

I am curious as to whether I would be warmer on this if it were multiple sets rather than a single big set. For instance, rather than a single card, you get a deck of cards that comes with a Queen of Hearts mini-fig. In place of a Book/VHS of Aladdin you get a lamp with a Jaffar figure inside. Ultimately you would have 7 sets (or more, as a series there is no reason not to include the Shadow Man in a talisman or Judge Frollo in his hat) that you could arrange as you see fit, and not buying the ones you aren't interested in.

Great set, I appreciate the VHS tape

I walked in the Lego store yesterday and immediately recognized these were Vhs tape and case. So did my 14 yr old son. I guess we collect them. I had to have this set. I will wish in my heart that they come out with Cinderella, The Nightmare before Christmas. Pocahontas, and so many...sets like this one!

It is an interesting thought that you suggested that these be "objects" instead of just books or just VHS covers. I, too mistook them for books when it was first revealed. On the one hand, it would have been nice, as you say, if these were a collection of items, but I would have perfectly been happy having these as a set of books. After all, they are all fairy tales. But Disney being an animation company for the past few decades, I could understand why they went with nostalgic VHS covers.

Disney VHS (and DVD) cases were usually white here in Brazil too.

I worked in a video store in late 80’s early 90’s and the Disney VHS had distinct white cases with a clear front and back for the picture inserts. You can google yo see the original cases.

Tiago Tuesday Talks: stops posting Me: We are not going to wait another year for a new episode, right? Tiago Tuesday Talks: Me: Right?

00:47 anyone else want TLG to do a full pack of printed “life size” playing cards now? 😂

Printed elements always good 👍

Caption Hook’s watch was eaten be the crocodile along with his hand. That’s why the crocodile makes a ticking sound.

I like this set

Now I feel old! I saw that those are VHS tapes immediately!

I dunno about this exact product but I will absolutely buy the parts just to make one of those VHS tapes

The White VHS cases (called clamshells) were popular with Disney in the US (vs the clear or purple European cases). The spines vaguely resemble the “Materpiece collection” spines though the rest of the covers don’t resemble any US cover art. Weird.

I like some of the figures but yeah I'd much rather have got iconic things from the Disney films. The apple, Ursula's locket, the rose or mirror from Beauty and the Beast, Genie's lamp, etc. They could've had even more icons if they didn't have to make it like VHS tapes or just for villains. Other things like Crikee in his cage from Mulan, Ariel's dinglehopper, Cinderella's slipper, etc.

I'm still going to pretend that the Sleeping Beauty and Aladdin VHS cases are books and no one can stop me! As someone who uses books as decor this will fit right in as a display piece in my home.

Tbf, I am 22 and I grew up watching things on VHS for a few years until me and my brother got stuck watching Mythbusters and How Its Made all day, every day

We finally get Gaston and the Old Queen. And Genie Jafar.

I'm 23 and I grew up on VHS tapes lol 8:04

Ok, I actually still have a box full of disney VHS tapes, lol, and I did have 2 fuchsia pink cases, (along with solid black ones) but they were slightly transparent, they were for blank tapes u would buy. This set I gotta go pick up!🍻

The watch and the apple are cool as hell but the VHS cases feel like a completely separate set. It just feels like a mess.

Tiago your the first one to review the set

I had lots of Disney movies on VHS and their cases were white, and opened like a book

Well, now I wanna watch Disney movies.

So many of the objects in this set just don't feel like proper ways to represent the villains; I mean really, VHS cassette tape and cases? The poison apple, card and pocket watch is fine but I'd rather swap the other stuff out for a magic lamp, spinning wheel, and enchanted rose or scabard.

I am SO EXCITED for the pacman one. And while this is a nice set, and I get the display.. If I could get it on sale or as a gift, I'd be excited, but I wouldn't buy it full price for myself

Impressive

Having lived with VHS I have zero nostalgia for it. DVDs were a godsend.

I live in the us and when my family still had a library of vhs tapes, every single one of them had white plastic covers. Tho, all of them were disney or pokemon movies, so im not sure if that was the reason why 🤔

I guess the white clamshell Disney VHS cases was only in America

Disney must have forgotten what their VHS cases looked like.

The original Disney VHS cases were white.

The cassette cases were always meant to imitate books, which is why their sides are white,to resemble pages. Also, a pronunciation tip about Malificent's name: Its end is "cent" so it sounds like the end of "magnificent". :)

Disney VHS came in those cases with white plastic and not transparent

Really want those minifigs, the build itself would be a fun one but then would quickly get parted out methinks. For $130 I will snatch it up though for sure!

Disney VHS cases in the 90s were white at least where I'm from (UK)

Is the brick choice (to make a certain shape) in the green poison of the apple reference to the urban legend Disney allegedly sneaked in Fallus shapes in it's movies? Could this be a very subtle hidden reference? 😅

Wish it came with Ursula minifig

I thought they were books as well. I LOVE the apple so this set is a yes for me just for the apple

Most amusing about this is the fact, that Disney on one hand is trying so hard to have us forget about these old time classics and keep churning out these awful live action remakes; but then is very eager to milk the sentiment here. Heh, corporations be corporations 🙄

Nice

Bro really called maléficent "malefícent" 😂😂😂

Malificent? nah we got Mal Efficient

Although nice elements, the vhs cassette itself accurate, the book, the watch, and the apple are the only nice parts. Casette cases could be any color though they died quickly from my childhood.

She isn't quite efficient She's mal-efficient

I think the build is ok, I'm just nostalgia'd out. Ready to move onto the future and not be stuck reliving the 90's for the rest of my life. The minifigs were great tho.

Honestly, I really like that apple build! 😄
