*LEGO sets in this video:* The Globe ❯ bit.ly/3LUcIyi Typewritter ❯ bit.ly/3tlY0cD

This would be so customisable to your own design. Use the base globe technic build then add whatever planet etc you like on top.

Why is there such a strong disdain against Technic elements in system sets? They're both Lego and made to correlate together. Technic increases the structural integrity, if it were all to be made with system parts, it would have a much higher part count and would be hideously expensive and you don't see the Technic elements when it's done. As far as repetition goes, you expect that with something such as a sphere and it's blatantly visible on the box..

There is one big + in this set that offsets the big ammount of technic pieces. You can use different parts to cover the globe and remake it using technic skeleton underneath. You probably could make other planets, moon, sun, other stars, maybe even death star from star wars.

Although repetitive and consisting of quite a lot Technic parts, I do feel it's an amazing set and would look really cool once completely built up and put on display.

As someone who enjoyed applying all the stickers to my Maersk ships, this set appeals to me. The repetitive nature is calming as it lets the mind wander while keeping the hands busy.

Now I want an updated Death Star or Death Star II even more, just imagine the improvements they could make in shape and detail.

I never understood complaining about "boring" or "repetitive" builds. When you buy the set, you know what you'll be building. It's like buying an AT-AT, and complaining you had to build FOUR legs that were exactly the same. Or buying the Hogwarts collection and complaining you had to build TWO wings for Hedwig that were the same. Personally I don't like repetition in builds either, but if I bought the damn set than I should know what I'm getting myself into. Like if you bought this globe set why would you ever complain about having to literally build the globe? Makes zero sense to me

Technic pieces have always been a plus to me tho. They're amazing support/skeletons to builds like ships and other vehicles

Question: How is the decision made at Lego whether a part is printed or whether there is a sticker for it?

I just completed my globe and I could not disagree more with Tiago's take on repetitive builds. This is a very Zen build with an elegant construct. I found myself staring at the interior as I joined the different spherical plate sections and marveled at the beauty of it. Very calming to put together. As a historical side note, I was reminded of Brunelleschi's dome in Florence and thought what an awesome Lego Architecture model could be built.

Repetition is fine for me as I spread my builds over days. And as long as the end results is stunning like the recent Taj Mahal I built I’m ok with it. This one sure looks like a stunner.

I really love the way light bounces off the separate panels as you rotate it

While I love sets with good building experiences, in the end, what really matters is how good the set looks. The building experience only lasts a few hours, while you get to enjoy and look at the set for years to come, and after a few days or weeks, you will forget how repetitive the building experience was. So even if a building experience isn't too great, if how it's designed was the best way to make the set look as good as possible, then it was probably worth it.

I've never thought I'd say this, but after the typewriter experience, it seems like I actually enjoy repetition in building large models.

I appreciate that your reviews focus not only on the model, but the building experience and the quality and quantity of useful parts. Thanks!

I just received a copy of this set for my birthday, and I honestly love it so much. I think it's really cool to see how to achieve non-blocky shapes using Lego, so I enjoyed the "skeleton" of the model in spite of its repetition. That said, the thing I'm most excited about is that I'm planning to take off all of the detail that forms the continents and use the globe with my friends to create a tactile map of our Dungeons and Dragons world. I'm super excited about it. I've also seen people do stuff like making the Globe into a Death Star, and I think it would be cool to replace the oceans with tan to create a more old-school sci-fi explorer's globe vibe. All in all I adore this set.

Wow! I thought that a globe was never possible bc it’s so round. Good job Lego! This and the world map will go like coffee and donuts.

Great and thorough review as usual. I definitely agree with you on giving it a 10/10 as a display piece. As for the complaint on the piece usage I think you are probably in the very small minority on how you would use the pieces in this set. Most people will buy this set as a permanent display piece and not for taking apart later to use individual pieces for other builds.

I wouldnt expect that I would love this set but something about it is just so perfect. Great early review as always :D

This set looks amazing! While the repetitive build does seem like it could drag a bit, it’s a great display piece which is what I’m mostly looking for. As for the lots of technic, personally I don’t like to take apart my sets so it doesn’t really bother me.

Very nice approach on this one Tiago, I like how you balanced out the perspective of a parts collector. Honestly, the panel free globe structure looks fantastic as the foundation of some steam punk gizmo, only needs a few lights in there :)

Thanks for a well-thought review with some interesting points regarding the build process and number of technic pieces! Beautiful shots as well. Keep up the good work!

the globe looks like a terminator at the end without skin 😂😂😂👍

C'mon, you already have the Technic BMW, now you have this set, time to embrace the selection of Technic parts you have at your disposal and start building with them instead of complaining about them ;)

It’s only inevitable until someone or LEGO themselves makes a Death Star out of this structure

I dig this so much! Great review, I want this set even more now. I'm slowly building my stock of Lego. In the meantime, I love to build sets like this over days or weeks. Very calming.

I’m all for the building experience myself, so I really understand your critique. As stunning as this globe looks, and as much as I like all those shapes, prints and new elements, I’m not sure if I’ll pick this one up 😅 I can’t say it’s a great set if it “only” looks great too - for me, a great set should have it all - awesome building experience, nice techniques incorporated, good parts selection and an above average display value. I really appreciate this detailed technical breakdown! Btw, some may say it’s not much, but for me this fix at 2:17 makes all the difference 🌎

Set looks great, would be rewarding to put it on display. Also a very easy gift idea I like your reviews a lot - I appreciate the honesty in your reviews, and you don't just say every part of it is good.

That Globe looks really good, I like that they included printed elements (it might be a 200 dollar set, but getting printed items is not always guaranteed as we certainly know from a certain $800 Star Wars Set)...

That reflects light so elegantly in motion.

Really impressive display piece. Looks like a challenge to build for sure.

Ooooh nice display piece though. I'd be very tempted to redo the land masses with the fictional worlds from my tabletop gaming settings. Thanks for reviewing, I hadn't even heard of this set before!

I do want this, but I wonder: Is the structure strong enough to add some tiles to the globe? I was thinking either adding some topographical details (small wedges for mountains maybe) , something to indicate places I've visited and maybe some more shapes like the boat.

Love the review! Thank you!

глобус выглядит как терминатор в конце без кожи 😂😂😂🤩👍

I would have really liked if it came with a lot of glow in the dark round bricks, so you could place one on every country you have been in.

You could create a full Death Star now since it's a full tiled glob

I Love The Way It Spins!!!

Got straight to the point, very informative concise review, and nice voice? You've earned my subscription!

Looks like a cool set. I'm not really against repetition so I would probably like this set if I owned it.

I only have an issue with the gaps between the panels. Overall I like it and think it would look good next to the ship in a bottle set. Is that sailboat the Leviathan?

Fantastic review!

Wow this looks awesome as a display. Super happy the labels are printed and not stickers!

Ugh I'm honestly torn on this one I feel like I'm with you. those printed tiles and the blue wedges and black 1x5s are super nice and I would *likely* keep it built but I think you're right about how much of it is the technic frame.. and I'm really glad you felt the need to include information like that in the Set review, because it's a type of detail I don't think every reviewer would take the time and count.. price/piece never tells the whole story!

Great review as always. Not sure I'll pick this one up. It is amazing but the style of the finish isn't me. Out of interest Tiago, I wonder how many people are like you; build a kit and then take it apart for parts? I'm very much an 'ornament' builder. Once built, they stay built. I wonder if Lego have ever done research to find the percentages of each type of builder?

Thanks Tiago for your great review. I think this is an amazing display set and therefore for me it is not a big problem that there are a lot technic pieces are included.

Thank you for the black rod tip! It is a small detail but looks so much better.

Ooh, good review. I really love it as a display piece, they did a great job on that. No stickers, as it should be for a typical display set like this. And I don't mind the Technic pieces. But yes, I expected a bit of repetition, that's just unavoidable with a set like this. But then you see that shot starting from 4:52....that's an awful LOT of repetition. The one other thing I don't like is the price. But considering the piece count and the number of unique prints it's not unreasonable. Well, at least not by Lego standards....

That’s what I love about your show. Because you always go into detail, especially regarding the inner workings, which you luckily did. And honestly, awesome Lego set, but repetitive design.

Dude I used to watch you when you had 7k subs, you've grown sooooo much!!!!

I did the exact same thing with mine with the black axle at the bottom, the piece I used was even an extra that came with the set like you haha

A Death Star set like this with some interior and mount would be awesome, would be so cool to have a set like that. Don't know if it's possible but they should give it a go. This looks awesome.

Imagine being salty about the fact that a spherical lego set has a lot of technic parts.

Nice set! 👍🏻

the sphere construction is amazing! I'd use this for a MOC

Can we expect a miniaturized version of the globe or is that too much to ask for? And great review as always, Thiago, obrigado!

Why do people complain about repetetive building sections? Its a symmetrical uniform object... what do you expect?

It would be more fun to customize it by adding lots of clear dark and light blue tiles on the water, maybe put in a whirlpool and mini sea dragon, and for the travelers they can put a colored one by one stud on every city they visit

Great and honest review as always, thanks Tiago

This has to me the same issue as the typewriter and piano. It's an amazing demonstration to just how versatile Lego is but at the same time exposes its limitations. The end results are purely eye candy and not actually useable as they were intended....ie the typewriter doesn't actually let you type, the piano doesn't play, and the globe doesn't give you any idea (except extremely roughly) about our planet's geography.

A normal globe doesn't really consist of much as it is, the fact that lego even made a complete design for the set is impressive enough, what mire do you want, its a globe, not a deathstar!

ok nice ! ecto1 was such amazing building expérience !!!!

Worth the wait

I can completely understand your criticism of this set, but I would like to say a few more things about it. For me, a model does not only have to look good from a distance, which this globe has only achieved to a limited extent. I also want to be able to enjoy it when I look at it up close, and unfortunately this globe doesn't do that for me at all. Yes, the set has printed tiles and there is a nice little feature that allows the globe to rotate, but unfortunately that's all there is positive to say about this set. Some things you shouldn't try to make out of Lego, and for me a globe is definitely one of those things you should stay away from. And then something else about your comment about the plastic packaging: Unfortunately, these so-called paper bags that came with the "Temple Set" are also coated with plastic on the inside. This is eyewash, because since these bags are not made entirely of paper, they have to be recycled with the other plastic waste. Moreover, microplastics are also released from this composite material, which can end up in the soil and groundwater, and at some point also in the oceans, and thus also in the fish we eat. I would prefer Lego to stick with the conventional bags or, as the Mould King company does, use reusable Ziplock bags. In my eyes, that would be more honest with the customers, because the reference to the composite material or the plastic coating inside was missing from the "paper bags".

This did not have any buts. Amazing look, great execution. If you want parts other than technic, buy some mixed LEGO by the kilogram.

Honestly the paper bags are so cool, I really hope Lego adopts this for more sets because they are better in almost every way!

lego : WE DO NOT DEAL WITH WAR RELATED STUFF!! star wars line, literally having WAR in its name **looks around to make sure no one notices

Aceasta este uimitor! Nu pot sa cred ce bine arata per ansamblu👋👋👋

I want one! It's so classy!

Hats off to you dude 👍

I love the font they used for the printed pieces

Hey the designer was a participant in the first season of Lego Masters France!

I love your videos. keep it UP!

Cool that they put the fan designer's initials on the set. I think that's better than putting the Lego designer's ones like the Ship in a Bottle or the Old Fishing Store

It’s cool imo, you could place a red stud to every place you’ve visited

Seems like Lego are doing anything nowadays love it!

Wow I’m so happy to see the paper bags instead of plastic

This looks really good to me!

This is the kind of set where you have friends come over to help you build it. This model looks amazing. Besides the repetitiveness, everything looks fine to me. I knew just from seeing a lego earth that lego was going to put something about making the planet more green into the mix. Isn't it ironic that a company that makes plastic toys is supporting making the world greener? Or is it just me? I just find it funny. Great video TC. I love it. This is a wonderful revew.

I think the best aspect is that the top plates can easily be removed or modified. As others have pointed out, this is an easy frame for a Death Star. I could also see it working for other planets, an emoji, a beach ball, a watermelon, or an eyeball. Pretty much any round object would work. Personally, this would be a near permanent display piece once I finished it. If I'm paying $200 for it, I'm dang well going to show it off to visitors for as long as possible.

I haven't played with lego for about 7 years, but i saw this build and i just had to buy it. Nostalgic!

As an Australian in so happy to see that every state got a look in include my home state Tasmania well done lego

Just finished building mine today🌎

This is SO COOL, I want it!! 😍🥰

This looks awesome, Hopefully this means a fully panelled death star is on the table of ideas now

I could have sworn that the 1x5 plate existed when I was a kid. I looked it up and was shocked to find out that it came out in 2021 for the first time. I feel like I'm going crazy!

I think it looks awesome without the plates connected at 5:30 :) Good review! It will probably a day 1 buy for me. Looking forward to a same scale Jupiter (hehe).

considering buying this! thank you =D

It'd be kinda cool if you could make iconic buildings small enough to place near cities. Example big ben for London, freedom tower for NYC, space needle for Seattle, etc.

Every time I see new amazing lego sets. I wonder which lego sets we'll get in the future.

For me, a good LEGO set at this size and price must have these (3) things. 1) it must be displayable, look wonderful on a shelf. 2) must have some good pieces, lots of variety (because I too am a moc builder). 3) has got to have a fun and engaging build!

As a builder I specifically look for sets that come with a lot of technic elements because I use them a lot in my own builds. But it really comes down to build style. Almost all my models incorporate motion in one way or another with takes a lot of technic.

It’s beautiful!

I got this enjoyed it for a week stopped when I have half the globe left, finished it a few weeks ago after almost a year, it was quite fun split up lol

dude ima need that for my birthday

This is an outstanding review! I really appreciate the insights into some of the design features, the critique of the building experience, and being able to "see into the box" before I decide whether to purchase the set or not. Thank you for taking the time to put together such a thorough and well-edited review video!

this set is very nice I always wanted a lego globe set

Can't wait to see this costumized to Starkiller Base

that was an amazing globe!
