00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:20.399
Shut up and welcome to the Bricks King Podcast, where
2
00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:24.519
I'm gonna Benji about Lego of you, those amazing bricks
3
00:00:24.519 --> 00:00:27.440
of plastic, and discuss what is new and up and
4
00:00:27.480 --> 00:00:32.280
coming around the Lego world on your many it goos Matt,
5
00:00:33.079 --> 00:00:37.560
let's built on it. Indeed, indeed, let's build on it.
6
00:00:37.679 --> 00:00:43.000
Let us let us, let us, let us salad, yum delicious.
7
00:00:43.320 --> 00:00:53.359
Let us talk about something fun, something typically expensive, something well,
8
00:00:53.520 --> 00:00:56.560
let's just enough enough going on and on like this.
9
00:00:56.679 --> 00:00:58.759
I just I cannot do this. I cannot do this
10
00:00:59.079 --> 00:01:01.679
for your for your enjoyment, for your pleasure. I just
11
00:01:01.759 --> 00:01:05.519
cannot continue to do I'm totally kidding. What I wanted
12
00:01:05.560 --> 00:01:09.239
to talk about today is a little bit of the
13
00:01:10.359 --> 00:01:14.000
Lego Bricklink Designer Program. I know that was a long
14
00:01:14.159 --> 00:01:20.040
sigh for something so simple. So series five or I'm sorry,
15
00:01:20.120 --> 00:01:25.719
Series five. There are five sets. In series number ten,
16
00:01:26.000 --> 00:01:31.640
there are finalists. And if you've never purchased anything from
17
00:01:31.680 --> 00:01:35.400
the Bricklink Designer Program, some people will say you're missing out.
18
00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:39.920
I think there's also opinions that will say, I maybe
19
00:01:39.920 --> 00:01:41.760
not missing as much as you think there is. I
20
00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:47.879
do think, however, the program has gotten extensively better since
21
00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:51.840
some changes have happened since the Lego group all bricklink,
22
00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:54.239
which is always a good thing. So there are five
23
00:01:54.280 --> 00:02:00.079
sets and these were chosen. These were chosen on the
24
00:02:00.120 --> 00:02:03.760
I think the twentieth there was a live stream of March.
25
00:02:04.400 --> 00:02:06.560
Whenever you're hearing this two years down the road, you're like, what,
26
00:02:07.120 --> 00:02:11.159
that's tomorrow. No, So a little bit, a little bit
27
00:02:11.199 --> 00:02:14.360
about the Designer Program if you don't know. This started
28
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:19.759
in what twenty twenty twenty twenty one, I believe, And
29
00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:24.080
it's essentially a way to give you the creator, you
30
00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:28.439
creative people out there, an opportunity to take what you build,
31
00:02:28.479 --> 00:02:32.159
what you create, your mock and potentially have it turned
32
00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:36.360
into a set. Aside from the Lego ideas platform criteria
33
00:02:36.439 --> 00:02:39.360
is a little bit different and everything like that. But
34
00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:43.479
the cool thing about it is it really kind of
35
00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:48.240
just goes into crowdfunding mode. If it meets the demand,
36
00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:53.360
it gets produced. Now, I could be wrong. I don't
37
00:02:53.400 --> 00:02:56.759
believe in the past there was any kind of Lego
38
00:02:56.879 --> 00:03:00.719
insignia on the box. I could be wrong. I don't
39
00:03:00.759 --> 00:03:03.360
remember it is It has been a minute since I've
40
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:10.319
bought anything from No, No, No, What I what am
41
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:13.000
I trying to say I haven't bought anything from the
42
00:03:13.039 --> 00:03:16.680
Bricklink Designer program in a few years. There we go.
43
00:03:16.800 --> 00:03:19.919
That was much more difficult to spit out than any
44
00:03:21.039 --> 00:03:23.639
that you can think. But anyway, so the new sets,
45
00:03:24.280 --> 00:03:27.120
once they become a thing, they're sold on Lego dot Com,
46
00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:30.400
you know, through the crowdfunding all this kind of stuff.
47
00:03:31.319 --> 00:03:33.240
The interesting thing and I had to look this up.
48
00:03:33.879 --> 00:03:36.719
The designs the five that we're gonna talk about today.
49
00:03:36.919 --> 00:03:40.479
Obviously they have to receive a minimum of three thousand
50
00:03:40.560 --> 00:03:43.960
pre orders to be able to become a thing. The
51
00:03:44.120 --> 00:03:47.560
cool thing is if you create something like one of
52
00:03:47.560 --> 00:03:50.199
these five we're gonna talk about, you can end up
53
00:03:50.240 --> 00:03:54.599
potentially potentially if it, if yours makes it, you receive
54
00:03:54.919 --> 00:03:57.879
some of the money from the sets that are sold,
55
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:00.879
which is cool. So it's kind of it's kind of interesting.
56
00:04:01.360 --> 00:04:05.639
So I guess we could stop. I can stop just
57
00:04:05.719 --> 00:04:07.439
kind of beating around the bush here and just kind
58
00:04:07.439 --> 00:04:09.800
of get to it. So there are five of them.
59
00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:12.680
They are all unique in their own right. I do
60
00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:15.879
have a little bit of a press release here for
61
00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:18.279
each of the five. It's just a little blurb for
62
00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:20.680
each of them, and I'll go through it and we'll
63
00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:22.319
talk about the set a little bit. I'm not gonna
64
00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:25.279
go super into detail. I say that we'll see how
65
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:29.560
this goes, but let's go ahead and jump into it.
66
00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:32.319
So the first one is that we have here is
67
00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:37.439
the joust. It's a medieval tournament or tournament depending of fence.
68
00:04:37.519 --> 00:04:40.160
They I don't that is not a slight towards the
69
00:04:40.240 --> 00:04:42.199
British people, if that's what I was trying to get there.
70
00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:45.959
But anyway, this was designed by the user name mocker Mommy.
71
00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:48.360
That's kind of cool. So it says from the designer,
72
00:04:48.680 --> 00:04:53.240
this is under what they are talking about here. Under
73
00:04:53.279 --> 00:04:56.079
fluttering banners and the roar of the crowd, the Horse
74
00:04:56.160 --> 00:04:59.279
Knights opened the gates of their Grand Jousting Arena for
75
00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:02.199
the first time in may years. They had called upon
76
00:05:02.600 --> 00:05:06.360
all newly founded factions to compete in a tournament of
77
00:05:06.480 --> 00:05:10.639
honor and courage. Riders arrived from distant lands, the noble
78
00:05:10.680 --> 00:05:15.480
Griffin Knights proud and swift, the cunning Serpent Knights, masters
79
00:05:15.480 --> 00:05:19.319
of strategy, and the fearsome Kraken Knights very cool sound
80
00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:23.040
to that hardened by the storm and sea. Each faction
81
00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:28.079
entered the lists with lances raised, eager to prove their worth.
82
00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:33.480
Steel clashed, lances shattered, and horses thundered across the arena.
83
00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:37.399
With every charge, the crowd held its breath for this
84
00:05:37.600 --> 00:05:41.360
tournament was more than a contest of strength. It was
85
00:05:41.399 --> 00:05:47.439
a trial of bravery, discipline, and knightly spirit. Very cool,
86
00:05:47.839 --> 00:05:52.040
very cool little right up there, I can attest there
87
00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:54.519
are some of you out there that probably know much
88
00:05:54.519 --> 00:05:58.000
more about these factions than I do. Whether or not
89
00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:02.040
there mythical in nature or not I'm guessing probably not
90
00:06:02.720 --> 00:06:09.399
or not mythical previous lego sets, night stuff. I don't.
91
00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:12.959
I don't know, but I love this. This is cool looking.
92
00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:16.759
This is I'm gonna I'll put it out there. This
93
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:19.160
is not something that I would purchase, just due to
94
00:06:19.199 --> 00:06:21.439
the sheer fact that I don't have somewhere that this
95
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:25.759
would fit well with what I have, aside from the lego,
96
00:06:26.480 --> 00:06:29.600
the the nostalgic stuff that they did with Castle and
97
00:06:30.120 --> 00:06:34.439
trying to think whatever else night type stuff. Aside from those,
98
00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:38.040
I don't know what else I would do with this.
99
00:06:38.560 --> 00:06:41.959
It's cool, It's as cool as can be. I don't
100
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:44.079
I just don't know what I would do with it.
101
00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:46.800
I really don't know what I would do with it now,
102
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:49.800
I guess, I guess I should step back real quick.
103
00:06:50.279 --> 00:06:53.720
So the designs got announced, and then we'll get back
104
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:58.199
to this. The designs got announced. The designs all five
105
00:06:58.199 --> 00:07:03.959
of these have through what January of next year is
106
00:07:04.079 --> 00:07:11.040
twenty twenty seven to absolutely lock everything into place, designs, instructions,
107
00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:15.120
everything perfect to a t done and then February of
108
00:07:15.199 --> 00:07:18.800
next year, I believe February first, that is when pre
109
00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:22.439
orders go up for you to buy. Now you can
110
00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:26.360
only get two per household, so I'm sure there's a
111
00:07:26.399 --> 00:07:30.600
way around that. I'm sure maybe you know what. I'm
112
00:07:30.600 --> 00:07:32.040
not even gonna say that. I don't want to potentially
113
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:34.839
get in trouble. I don't think I would. I don't
114
00:07:34.839 --> 00:07:37.560
want to put it out there and somebody think about this. However,
115
00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:42.000
you can only get two per household, minimum minimum of
116
00:07:42.079 --> 00:07:45.079
three thousand pre orders. I don't think that's usually a problem.
117
00:07:45.160 --> 00:07:47.920
I think these always end up getting produced and it's
118
00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:51.199
a one time production run. So I know there's a
119
00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:53.360
lot of people that have fomo fear of missing out
120
00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:59.639
with Lego sets, Lots and lots of people I just
121
00:07:59.759 --> 00:08:05.720
want I just wonder with these and usually the insane
122
00:08:05.800 --> 00:08:09.240
price point that comes with it. If that deters some
123
00:08:09.360 --> 00:08:12.079
folks when you think, oh, I'm gonna do something else.
124
00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:16.240
This has almost thirty one hundred pieces, three thousand and
125
00:08:16.720 --> 00:08:20.839
ninety nine to be exact, the jousting set here. It's
126
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:24.279
got a functional gait, it has removable roofs, it has
127
00:08:24.360 --> 00:08:27.839
a removable top of the gatehouse, individual tents for the
128
00:08:27.839 --> 00:08:30.680
different factions, which I do think is pretty neat, feels
129
00:08:30.759 --> 00:08:36.960
very Harry Potter esque like their tournament and removable snack stand.
130
00:08:37.639 --> 00:08:40.000
So you get a bunch of different mini bigs. Obviously
131
00:08:40.480 --> 00:08:43.200
that is nice. You get your people watching, maybe royalty,
132
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:46.559
maybe some peasants. You got your different factions. All three
133
00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:50.759
tenths are unique. They're different colors, different builds, different parts.
134
00:08:51.360 --> 00:08:53.919
I like the way that is done and their side
135
00:08:53.919 --> 00:08:58.000
builds of their own, so that is cool. I love
136
00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:00.000
the nights. I love kind of what is going on.
137
00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:03.080
You've got a backside and a front side to this.
138
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:09.559
It looks great, unique, unique design to this because while
139
00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:11.879
the center part of your castle, if that's what you
140
00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:15.360
want to call that, the main entrance is built top
141
00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:18.639
to bottom, the two little side builds that are all
142
00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:22.320
part of this base are built kind of up on
143
00:09:23.200 --> 00:09:26.480
not on stilts, kind of like up on piers, I
144
00:09:26.480 --> 00:09:29.879
guess to a certain degree. So that's kind of it's
145
00:09:29.960 --> 00:09:32.320
kind of cool. It just gives you that feel. But
146
00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:34.480
you have stairs that go up towards the top, you've
147
00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:39.440
got some eateries eating areas, You've got your section for
148
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:43.240
the king and the queen or his mistress to be
149
00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:45.639
able to sit and watch, and then you've got other
150
00:09:46.120 --> 00:09:50.000
I guess other people that are watching. And but I
151
00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:53.000
love the design of the knights, the knights helmets, and
152
00:09:53.120 --> 00:09:54.960
aren't you know it's not like, oh my god, they
153
00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:57.720
reinvented the wheel they'd put into three DPS. No, no, no, no,
154
00:09:58.159 --> 00:10:00.600
that'd be pretty cool though. But there's some there's some
155
00:10:00.639 --> 00:10:04.960
cool stuff. I am partial to the Cracking team, that
156
00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:08.039
is who I'm rooting for. They have the triangular tent.
157
00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:11.240
I love it. I think it looks cool. I know
158
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:15.039
this is probably gonna do Gangbusters, just because it's more
159
00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:18.559
the medieval theme, and a lot of people love it
160
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:24.399
from the Lego Vault ideas. You know, they did the
161
00:10:23.200 --> 00:10:30.039
ideas icon sets. But when you have that a remake
162
00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:32.720
of original sets and then you add these, it just
163
00:10:32.879 --> 00:10:34.960
I think it just drives people bonkers. They just get
164
00:10:34.960 --> 00:10:38.159
excited and they just they have to have it. The
165
00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:40.960
question is will it be you? So the next one
166
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:44.720
that we're gonna chit chat about is the firehouse designed
167
00:10:44.720 --> 00:10:49.440
by brick Hucker. Alrighty. The note from the designer says,
168
00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:52.799
designed on a thirty two by thirty two base plate
169
00:10:52.840 --> 00:10:56.360
with an attached sixteen by thirty two base pain what
170
00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:02.759
this firehouse seamlessly integrates into existing city layout. It includes
171
00:11:02.799 --> 00:11:05.480
a large custom garage door that opens with the turn
172
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:07.360
of a crank, which is really cool. I was looking
173
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:10.399
at that earlier. The build is designed to open and
174
00:11:10.440 --> 00:11:13.480
separate in multiple ways, giving you easy access to the
175
00:11:13.519 --> 00:11:19.240
interior and a more enjoyable building experience or play experience
176
00:11:19.360 --> 00:11:22.799
like some of us love with a lively cast of characters.
177
00:11:23.200 --> 00:11:27.360
Firehouse features a construction crew repairing the sidewalk out front,
178
00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:31.120
an exuberant hot dog girl feeding the pigeons. No no, no, no,
179
00:11:31.120 --> 00:11:33.960
no no no, we don't feed pigeons, the fire crew
180
00:11:34.080 --> 00:11:38.519
dashing to an address, oh, to address an emergency. I
181
00:11:38.559 --> 00:11:42.240
guess they could dash to an address to address an emergency,
182
00:11:42.320 --> 00:11:45.159
but that's a little much, and the dispatcher organizing the
183
00:11:45.200 --> 00:11:50.200
incoming calls and prioritizing emergencies. Yes, yes, give me all
184
00:11:50.320 --> 00:11:53.200
of those things. So you want to know there are
185
00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:55.200
seven stickers that are in this. There are not stickers
186
00:11:55.240 --> 00:11:57.480
in the last one. There are seven stickers in this.
187
00:11:57.600 --> 00:12:00.919
Twenty nine hundred and ninety eight pieces is what you
188
00:12:00.960 --> 00:12:04.720
would be getting in the box. There are ten minifigs
189
00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:09.159
in total. You have equipment and supply rooms, dispatching, kitchenery, receptionarya,
190
00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:13.480
modular sections, vintage fire truck which looks pretty sharp, and
191
00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:16.159
a functional garage door which we had already talked about.
192
00:12:16.200 --> 00:12:21.919
So okay, now the question is sixteen by thirty two
193
00:12:22.080 --> 00:12:24.799
and a thirty two by thirty two. Dear God, you
194
00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:28.039
can already imagine, you can already imagine the price point
195
00:12:28.080 --> 00:12:32.679
on this three thousand pieces. Do the math, probably looking
196
00:12:32.759 --> 00:12:36.840
at three eighty am I am I over am I
197
00:12:36.879 --> 00:12:40.159
over budget? There, we think it's three eighty. It's got
198
00:12:40.159 --> 00:12:42.679
to be. It's gotta be somewhere around three eighty. Surely
199
00:12:42.720 --> 00:12:46.399
it's not four hundred. Surely it's not. So your main
200
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:50.080
firehouse section that is where you're keeping your engine and
201
00:12:50.120 --> 00:12:52.840
stuff like that, and it looks like layer's a well,
202
00:12:52.879 --> 00:12:55.039
we'll look at it in a second. But there's two stories.
203
00:12:55.279 --> 00:12:57.840
You have your slanted roof up top, and then your
204
00:12:57.879 --> 00:13:01.200
other you're sixteen by thirty two, has four sections, if
205
00:13:01.200 --> 00:13:02.360
you want to call it that kind of like the
206
00:13:02.399 --> 00:13:06.000
bell tower is its own little section, which the clock tower,
207
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:10.320
I guess. I guess you could say that is its
208
00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:13.600
own section, so if you want to four stories high.
209
00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:16.120
But I love What I love about this is yes,
210
00:13:16.159 --> 00:13:19.360
it does immediately fit into a city. That's great. Love
211
00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:23.120
that love it. But the architecture around the outside of
212
00:13:23.159 --> 00:13:27.600
the building is unique. We've got some darker green color
213
00:13:27.600 --> 00:13:31.120
there is it like the evergreen type color. I can't
214
00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:33.559
really tell what shade that is. I don't want to
215
00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:36.799
be wrong about it. But you got that dark burgundy
216
00:13:36.919 --> 00:13:40.639
red color, which is great on the outside. Got some
217
00:13:40.679 --> 00:13:45.080
of that burnt orange, not burn orange dark the dark
218
00:13:45.200 --> 00:13:50.440
dark orange orange, the dark dark brown. I said burn orange.
219
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:53.039
I'm thinking. I don't know what I'm thinking. It's been
220
00:13:53.039 --> 00:13:57.240
a day, I guess. But we've got pigeons like they
221
00:13:57.240 --> 00:14:00.360
had already had said. And I just love the genera
222
00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:02.519
of the vines growing up the side of the building.
223
00:14:02.559 --> 00:14:07.320
I think that's pretty pretty cool. It's pretty sharp, but
224
00:14:07.399 --> 00:14:10.320
we've got our turning crank. I love how that opens
225
00:14:10.519 --> 00:14:13.360
the garage door to the firehouse. That's always been a
226
00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:17.279
bugaboo of mine. I've absolutely hated some of the doors
227
00:14:17.279 --> 00:14:20.480
that have been done through lego city stuff, even with
228
00:14:21.360 --> 00:14:26.799
I think was the garage the corner garage modular years back.
229
00:14:27.440 --> 00:14:30.480
Still wasn't the biggest fan of that. But you turn
230
00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:32.919
your crank, it opens it. The crank isn't a giant
231
00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:36.320
red knob, so that's that's cool. It almost looks like
232
00:14:36.399 --> 00:14:42.720
it's a European fire truck. It maybe, but the helmets,
233
00:14:42.919 --> 00:14:47.720
the helmets, the yeah, fire helmets, they look more European.
234
00:14:47.879 --> 00:14:50.240
I don't never seen anything like that here in the US,
235
00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:54.000
but it is. It is pretty neat. And then you've
236
00:14:54.000 --> 00:14:58.519
got your pole. Who doesn't need a sliding pole? How
237
00:14:58.600 --> 00:15:02.559
cool is that? Man? But I love the little office
238
00:15:02.600 --> 00:15:06.000
area and stuff that you've got going on your equipment room,
239
00:15:06.200 --> 00:15:10.039
and it's just it's sharp. It's different in its own right.
240
00:15:11.000 --> 00:15:13.600
The slanted roof, I love it look it looks like
241
00:15:13.679 --> 00:15:18.120
almost like a slate roof. Don't ever see slate roofs
242
00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:22.159
down here in Texas, but I've not seen a slate
243
00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:24.799
roof in a long time. I'm sure they're a little
244
00:15:24.799 --> 00:15:28.879
more common in other places, but some interesting parts usage
245
00:15:29.879 --> 00:15:31.360
not in a bad way. I don't say that a
246
00:15:31.360 --> 00:15:34.159
bad way. I just I like it. You know, you've
247
00:15:34.200 --> 00:15:38.120
got some exposed brick and then you don't it just
248
00:15:38.279 --> 00:15:42.480
it's it's nice. I do like the way it looks. Again,
249
00:15:42.960 --> 00:15:46.679
curious about the price, because this could get expensive fast,
250
00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:49.960
you know, just like the last one. Can't be really expensive.
251
00:15:50.279 --> 00:15:51.799
So if it's one of those things you're like, I
252
00:15:51.840 --> 00:15:54.440
want all five of them. If you're going with the
253
00:15:54.519 --> 00:16:00.440
completionist thing, you're gonna spend a couple grand pro bubbly
254
00:16:00.879 --> 00:16:03.320
if you were to get all five. Again, we haven't
255
00:16:03.360 --> 00:16:06.360
gone through them all yet, so we're getting there. But
256
00:16:06.480 --> 00:16:10.000
I can't imagine them being super super cheap, especially not
257
00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:12.879
those two. So next up on the docket we have
258
00:16:13.039 --> 00:16:17.440
the kiosk, designed by Hostas Builds, and the note says
259
00:16:17.600 --> 00:16:23.559
as follows. Step into a classic Parisian street scene with
260
00:16:23.679 --> 00:16:27.360
this old newspaper kiosk where you can pick up the
261
00:16:27.480 --> 00:16:32.960
latest papers along with coffee, lemonade, donuts, and cookies. Inside
262
00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:36.919
a new coffee machine keeps drinks tasting great and on
263
00:16:37.000 --> 00:16:40.120
the side of the kiosk, you'll find an old postbox
264
00:16:40.840 --> 00:16:45.519
that for that extra touch of city life. A few
265
00:16:45.559 --> 00:16:49.399
local pigeons like to hang around, two happily cleaning up
266
00:16:49.440 --> 00:16:53.840
any cookie crumbs on the ground. Okay, two sets pigeons.
267
00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:59.240
One set likes cookies, the other likes hot dog buds.
268
00:17:00.039 --> 00:17:04.200
What is this chaos? Kiosk was inspired by a variety
269
00:17:04.240 --> 00:17:07.720
of real kiosks and newsstands from Paris that were built
270
00:17:07.839 --> 00:17:12.160
during the nineteenth and early twentieth century. These kiosks were
271
00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:17.079
often painted in dark tones like black, gray and dark green,
272
00:17:17.559 --> 00:17:20.799
but I chose to add lighter colors like tan to
273
00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:24.359
give the build a warmer, more cheerful feel. I can
274
00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:26.359
see that, I can feel that should have done it
275
00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:32.359
in all black. Totally kidding. Your kiosk, so what do
276
00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:35.519
you need to know? Has three stickers, has seven hundred
277
00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:37.680
and twenty nine parts that should give you a rough
278
00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:42.480
idea of what you're walking into potentially price wise. And
279
00:17:42.920 --> 00:17:45.039
you got three minifigs, You have a vendor, you have
280
00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:50.559
two customers. We've already got the birds, We've got cookie crumbs.
281
00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:54.200
Everybody knows Twix is the only only candy bar with
282
00:17:54.200 --> 00:18:01.880
the cookie crunch. Seinfeld fan anybody. We're just we're just
283
00:18:01.920 --> 00:18:05.440
coming off the rails today, just totally coming off the rails.
284
00:18:05.640 --> 00:18:08.200
And I love it. One of the things that I
285
00:18:08.279 --> 00:18:11.039
like here, well, a number of things. I love these
286
00:18:11.079 --> 00:18:14.720
little kiosk builds. It's like I said, seven hundred did
287
00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:17.240
I say that seven hundred and twenty nine pieces. I
288
00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:22.200
love it because it's it's quaint, it's compact, it has
289
00:18:22.240 --> 00:18:24.839
a lot of detail, and it doesn't take up a
290
00:18:24.880 --> 00:18:28.799
big footprint, whether you put it in your city or
291
00:18:28.920 --> 00:18:30.880
you so choose to just kind of have it as
292
00:18:30.920 --> 00:18:34.920
a standalone. I love the clock above the kiosk. It's
293
00:18:35.000 --> 00:18:38.359
just sharp from a numerals up there. Don't see that.
294
00:18:40.000 --> 00:18:45.279
Not a ton of clocks where I live in the country. Okay,
295
00:18:46.160 --> 00:18:49.119
I don't know the last time, other than going into
296
00:18:49.400 --> 00:18:54.440
downtown Fort Worth or downtown Dallas, maybe atop of church
297
00:18:55.279 --> 00:18:58.079
maybe that was the last time I saw a clock
298
00:18:58.759 --> 00:19:03.640
like that on top of anything. There's a little uh,
299
00:19:03.680 --> 00:19:06.119
there's a little ad on the side of it that
300
00:19:06.200 --> 00:19:09.759
says ice cold, you know, lemonade, I guess drink of
301
00:19:09.799 --> 00:19:14.480
some kind. There something fizzy, your fizzy pops. But again,
302
00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:17.000
you've got like a viny type flower that's growing up
303
00:19:17.079 --> 00:19:19.319
the side of it as well. Big fan of that.
304
00:19:19.440 --> 00:19:22.039
Any kind of foliage is great. I love the use
305
00:19:22.119 --> 00:19:27.279
of the black frogs for the decoration ornamentation on top
306
00:19:27.319 --> 00:19:30.279
of the roof. I think that is neat. You've got
307
00:19:30.319 --> 00:19:32.720
a little light post that has what is supposed to
308
00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:37.359
I'm assuming assuming be the power cable that goes to it.
309
00:19:37.599 --> 00:19:42.440
That's kind of cool. Gives you a periodic feel, and
310
00:19:42.880 --> 00:19:44.920
so the roof can come off. We get a look
311
00:19:45.000 --> 00:19:49.200
down inside. Not the best photo down inside, honestly, it
312
00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:53.160
doesn't look horrible. It's just really hard to tell really
313
00:19:53.200 --> 00:19:55.000
what you're getting into. Now there's a photo from the
314
00:19:55.039 --> 00:19:57.799
other side where the door is, and then the old
315
00:19:57.799 --> 00:20:01.480
little mailbox that's outside, but you can kind of see
316
00:20:01.519 --> 00:20:04.119
some details that is in their little coffee machine, a
317
00:20:04.119 --> 00:20:09.240
little genie lamp because we've got genies in there. Again,
318
00:20:09.559 --> 00:20:13.240
kind of hard to tell, but still really cool. Plus
319
00:20:13.759 --> 00:20:16.279
one thing that I do love is the windows in
320
00:20:16.319 --> 00:20:19.400
the front where you're serving open and close, so you
321
00:20:19.440 --> 00:20:22.039
can close up shop literally at the end of the
322
00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:25.200
day when you so choose to go home, which is
323
00:20:25.200 --> 00:20:28.160
always good for us that like to go home after
324
00:20:28.200 --> 00:20:32.559
a long day of work. So right now, right now.
325
00:20:33.839 --> 00:20:36.480
If I had to list it, I would say fire
326
00:20:36.519 --> 00:20:40.799
truck one, firehouse Apologies, I'm looking at the truck, firehouse one,
327
00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:45.680
kiosk two, medieval tournament three. It's just right now, it's
328
00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:46.880
just right now. We still have to bit more to
329
00:20:46.920 --> 00:20:49.079
talk about, two more that you need to know the
330
00:20:49.119 --> 00:20:53.440
details about and ponder where your hard earned pennies are
331
00:20:53.440 --> 00:20:57.039
going to go. So the next one is the Space Cafe,
332
00:20:57.480 --> 00:21:01.359
designed by Rocking Bricks thirty one. The note from the designer,
333
00:21:01.960 --> 00:21:05.599
Ugh man, you're making me read too much, says welcome
334
00:21:06.039 --> 00:21:09.319
space travelers to the best place in the galaxy, the
335
00:21:09.359 --> 00:21:12.839
Space Cafe. The primary goal was to create a fun
336
00:21:12.920 --> 00:21:16.319
and colorful set which could add something original to your
337
00:21:16.359 --> 00:21:22.079
city or work as a standalone display. As an architecture enthusiast,
338
00:21:22.319 --> 00:21:25.880
I wanted to pay tribute to the atomic Age design
339
00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:30.480
of the nineteen sixties in the US, very true, characterized
340
00:21:30.519 --> 00:21:34.480
by its angular, modern shapes inspired by space ships. The
341
00:21:34.559 --> 00:21:38.599
initial idea was to combine this distinctive architecture with the
342
00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:42.519
retro atmosphere of arcades through a cohesive theme, in this
343
00:21:42.599 --> 00:21:45.720
case space. The goal was for the entire building to
344
00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:49.079
resemble a space ship or space station with a roof
345
00:21:49.079 --> 00:21:53.480
that mimics the wings of a ship and porthole shaped windows.
346
00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:58.480
Decorative elements such as the rocket and the UFO complete
347
00:21:58.480 --> 00:22:02.279
the design and emphasize the retro feel of the project.
348
00:22:02.680 --> 00:22:07.119
The interior is no exception. The cafe has a kitchen, tables,
349
00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:12.440
an arcade, the most importantly, an escape pod restroom ha ha.
350
00:22:13.759 --> 00:22:17.599
The real challenge was creating a cohesive design. Every detail
351
00:22:17.680 --> 00:22:20.160
had to be created as if it were an element
352
00:22:20.279 --> 00:22:23.440
of a ship or a space station, including the emergency
353
00:22:23.519 --> 00:22:27.680
pod themed restroom. I wanted a clean, an understated design
354
00:22:27.799 --> 00:22:32.640
that maintains the retro pop and colorful nineties feel. The
355
00:22:32.720 --> 00:22:36.319
sign was a very interesting element to design and really
356
00:22:36.359 --> 00:22:39.240
gives a pop to the whole thing. I also loved
357
00:22:39.279 --> 00:22:43.480
including and reusing the surfboard element used three times in
358
00:22:43.559 --> 00:22:48.480
the set. The choice of colors was also decisive in
359
00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:53.720
achieving this retro vibe. The combination of dark torquoise like
360
00:22:53.880 --> 00:22:58.079
gray and reddish orange was the perfect mix and brought
361
00:22:58.480 --> 00:23:01.440
a lot of fun to the over all designed. The
362
00:23:01.440 --> 00:23:04.799
building process took me about a week to complete. Okay,
363
00:23:05.759 --> 00:23:07.720
I kind of want to stop there and say, shut
364
00:23:07.839 --> 00:23:12.960
your mouth, what the hell? What is going on here.
365
00:23:13.599 --> 00:23:16.839
The final paragraph says the set rests on a forty
366
00:23:16.920 --> 00:23:20.640
eight stud by thirty two stud base plate and is
367
00:23:20.680 --> 00:23:25.400
therefore easily integrated into a city. It contains many details
368
00:23:25.440 --> 00:23:29.680
such as arcade games, a kitchen, a planetarium, a nineteen
369
00:23:29.759 --> 00:23:33.799
fifties car, bicycle parking, and much more. The roof can
370
00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:38.400
be opened to allow access to the interior. What on Earth?
371
00:23:39.200 --> 00:23:42.960
When I saw this, I was like, Oh my goodness,
372
00:23:43.440 --> 00:23:47.440
this thing is cool. It's just what you heard. There
373
00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:51.559
is so many little odds and ends here. It's just
374
00:23:51.799 --> 00:23:55.319
it's something I kind of we'll talk about this at
375
00:23:55.359 --> 00:23:59.119
the end. It is twenty five hundred and forty five pieces,
376
00:23:59.319 --> 00:24:04.519
ten sticks, alrighty, and pretty much everything that we read
377
00:24:04.559 --> 00:24:08.480
in that is included on the bricklinks little description thing
378
00:24:08.519 --> 00:24:11.359
for it. There's a lot going on here. Part of
379
00:24:11.400 --> 00:24:14.039
the reason I think I like this is because it
380
00:24:14.200 --> 00:24:19.400
scratches every itch of my ADHD and my brain just
381
00:24:19.400 --> 00:24:22.920
goes push all over the place, all over the place.
382
00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:27.640
Some interesting design choices. Again, I don't mean that in
383
00:24:27.640 --> 00:24:31.000
a negative light, just interesting design choices. I feel a
384
00:24:31.079 --> 00:24:38.160
vibe here, very much so of old fifties, some nineties coloring.
385
00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:41.000
Like you said, I definitely feel the space theme that
386
00:24:41.119 --> 00:24:43.640
is going on. I love the UFO. The space sign
387
00:24:43.759 --> 00:24:46.799
is really cool. Space cafe sign is really cool. The
388
00:24:46.880 --> 00:24:50.519
rocket out front is neat. There's just a lot, man,
389
00:24:50.599 --> 00:24:54.839
there's a lot here. Your little drive through cafe, a
390
00:24:54.880 --> 00:24:57.079
little area. You got a little robots out in front,
391
00:24:57.240 --> 00:25:02.119
like little statues, and man, this is something that feels
392
00:25:02.119 --> 00:25:05.599
like would be in like in a beach like a
393
00:25:05.759 --> 00:25:08.000
I could see this like in a in a beach
394
00:25:08.079 --> 00:25:12.720
town like maybe something California vibes to a certain degree,
395
00:25:13.119 --> 00:25:19.160
you know, something something different. I love the solar system
396
00:25:19.240 --> 00:25:22.279
model right here. I think that's pretty cool that we're
397
00:25:22.400 --> 00:25:24.720
looking at a top down I guess of the main
398
00:25:25.480 --> 00:25:27.960
thing the main build is that supposed to be maybe
399
00:25:28.039 --> 00:25:32.240
lighting the solar system lighting or something like that. But
400
00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:36.039
you've got kind of fifty like again, fifties vibe more
401
00:25:36.200 --> 00:25:42.559
futuristic feel with some things, some some not things. But yeah,
402
00:25:42.599 --> 00:25:46.720
you've got this little arcade. You got Stud Invaders the
403
00:25:46.799 --> 00:25:50.319
game that is cool. You got a little retro classic
404
00:25:50.400 --> 00:25:54.319
spaceship ride. You've got some other games that are over here.
405
00:25:54.359 --> 00:25:57.359
I'm not really sure. You got a oh my goodness,
406
00:25:58.400 --> 00:26:03.200
not a pinball machine, almost like whack a Mole game
407
00:26:03.200 --> 00:26:06.519
that you've got going on over here. Some really cool
408
00:26:07.079 --> 00:26:09.880
little ideas that are going on. Maybe a claw machine.
409
00:26:09.960 --> 00:26:12.680
Is that what I'm seeing here? An idea of a
410
00:26:12.720 --> 00:26:16.440
claw machine. You've got your skate pod bathroom. That is cool.
411
00:26:16.559 --> 00:26:19.039
I love the way that is done. You got your
412
00:26:19.079 --> 00:26:22.200
your kitchen. The kitchen looks pretty cool. The escape pod here,
413
00:26:22.160 --> 00:26:27.480
we're getting another photo, and there's duty in the toilet.
414
00:26:28.039 --> 00:26:33.519
Somebody didn't hit the button to expel out into outer space.
415
00:26:34.519 --> 00:26:36.960
But your your car here that you've got going through.
416
00:26:37.000 --> 00:26:42.279
The little drive through is a fifties slash the fifth
417
00:26:42.319 --> 00:26:45.799
element vibe going on with it. It's just kind of
418
00:26:46.279 --> 00:26:49.519
it's kind of different. The orange color is very bizarre.
419
00:26:50.279 --> 00:26:55.160
I love it. I love everything about it. It's it's
420
00:26:55.200 --> 00:26:59.200
almost like modular meets Lego City, Like it's got that
421
00:26:59.400 --> 00:27:03.000
feel of like Lego City stuff, but it's also modular
422
00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:07.960
feel as well. So it's it's really hard to kind
423
00:27:08.000 --> 00:27:11.119
of pick where this thing goes. So when we talk
424
00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:16.559
about pieces, almost twenty six hundred pieces again, price point,
425
00:27:16.599 --> 00:27:19.000
what are we looking at here? We're looking at three hundred,
426
00:27:19.680 --> 00:27:23.720
were looking at two eighty probably not probably looking at
427
00:27:23.759 --> 00:27:26.599
three hundred I don't know though, I could. I could
428
00:27:26.640 --> 00:27:31.960
be wrong. I could one be wrong. But man, so sharp,
429
00:27:32.400 --> 00:27:36.039
so sharp. Let's get to the last one here, and
430
00:27:36.240 --> 00:27:41.160
is the wild West Trains station your your designer is
431
00:27:41.920 --> 00:27:45.839
I think lucky with two l's, or it's eye lucky,
432
00:27:46.559 --> 00:27:51.720
or I'm assuming it's lucky. So the man, y'all just
433
00:27:51.759 --> 00:27:54.000
love these long write ups. Y'all are killing me here.
434
00:27:55.119 --> 00:27:58.480
So the designer wrote this step back in time to
435
00:27:58.599 --> 00:28:01.119
the golden age of the wow Wet with the train
436
00:28:01.279 --> 00:28:06.079
station the bustling heart of lucky Town, not a Lucky Town,
437
00:28:06.240 --> 00:28:10.079
Lucky Town capitol letters there. This detailed build recreates the
438
00:28:10.119 --> 00:28:14.559
atmosphere of a frontier railway hub where trains brought trade,
439
00:28:14.599 --> 00:28:18.319
travelers and stories of adventure into the desert. The two
440
00:28:18.359 --> 00:28:23.000
story wooden station features a covered porch, elegant decorative details,
441
00:28:23.279 --> 00:28:27.720
weathered siding, and a striking rooftopped with a weather vane
442
00:28:27.839 --> 00:28:31.799
and clock. All right, give me some clock. Signs reading
443
00:28:31.880 --> 00:28:35.920
Brick Express and Lucky Town proudly mark the building as
444
00:28:35.960 --> 00:28:40.160
a true centerpiece of the community. Beside the platform stands
445
00:28:40.200 --> 00:28:43.559
a wooden cargo crane used to unload heavy freight arriving
446
00:28:43.599 --> 00:28:46.960
by rail. In this scene, the crane is busy transferring
447
00:28:47.000 --> 00:28:51.480
cannons from a flatbed wagon, hinting at military shipments, oh
448
00:28:51.599 --> 00:28:56.079
Boy Town defenses, or perhaps a less than legal deal
449
00:28:56.200 --> 00:28:59.960
unfolding under the desert sun. Say who we need some
450
00:29:00.119 --> 00:29:03.640
lego city police in here. A short section of track
451
00:29:03.880 --> 00:29:06.920
runs in front of the station, surrounded by crates, barrels,
452
00:29:06.960 --> 00:29:12.519
and equipment prepared for transport. Desert landscaping with cacti, tumbleweeds
453
00:29:12.559 --> 00:29:16.160
and flowers brings the setting to life, while a small clock,
454
00:29:16.359 --> 00:29:20.119
posters and subtle details hint at the many stories unfolding
455
00:29:20.200 --> 00:29:24.279
in Lucky Town. The interior of the station offers such
456
00:29:24.960 --> 00:29:29.079
as much character as the xterier. On the ground floor,
457
00:29:29.319 --> 00:29:33.079
travelers will find the ticket office with its service window,
458
00:29:33.359 --> 00:29:37.559
fare signs, and cashtrawer, surrounded by parcels, barrels and sacks
459
00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:42.000
ready for shipment. A heavy safe, bottles and storage crates
460
00:29:42.119 --> 00:29:46.200
emphasize the station's role as both a travel hub and
461
00:29:46.279 --> 00:29:51.279
a secure place for valuable goods. Upstairs, the station master's
462
00:29:51.319 --> 00:29:56.440
office is fully furnished with a sturdy desk chair, shelves
463
00:29:56.480 --> 00:29:59.920
for documents, and small details such as a lantern, a mug,
464
00:30:00.319 --> 00:30:03.880
and a newspaper, the perfect setting for long hours of
465
00:30:04.039 --> 00:30:09.079
behind the scenes work. Designed for both display and play,
466
00:30:09.720 --> 00:30:13.960
Sweet the Wild West Train Station blends seamlessly with trains
467
00:30:14.240 --> 00:30:18.359
and other Western themed builds. As the logistical heart of
468
00:30:18.480 --> 00:30:23.000
Lucky Town, it offers endless opportunities for storytelling and serves
469
00:30:23.319 --> 00:30:30.160
as a strong centerpiece for any frontier town layout. Hello, gorgeous,
470
00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:35.920
let's see what she looks like. Because well, it's it's big.
471
00:30:38.880 --> 00:30:43.000
It feels much bigger than what it's piece count is
472
00:30:43.000 --> 00:30:45.519
that I'm gonna tell you. So the parts that you're
473
00:30:45.519 --> 00:30:51.759
getting thirty one hundred and eighty four pieces. Okay, that's
474
00:30:51.759 --> 00:30:55.039
how many parts you get. That's what you're getting. It's cool,
475
00:30:55.240 --> 00:30:59.519
It's just cool. I think it's great. You could integrate
476
00:30:59.559 --> 00:31:03.880
at with this. I would assume if you wanted to.
477
00:31:04.599 --> 00:31:07.880
You know, out in front, you've got your your little
478
00:31:08.079 --> 00:31:12.359
your little patio, your covered patio, not patio porch. You
479
00:31:12.400 --> 00:31:15.799
definitely feel transported to the Western time. You definitely feel
480
00:31:15.839 --> 00:31:22.759
it in the build, Definitely feel Western desert vibes with
481
00:31:23.039 --> 00:31:26.000
like I had said, with all the foliage between cacti
482
00:31:26.599 --> 00:31:30.359
and the stuff that's rolling across the ground and blowing
483
00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:33.559
across the ground. So that's kind of neat. There's his sign,
484
00:31:33.559 --> 00:31:37.799
that's his train arrives today. It gives me some back
485
00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:42.599
to the future part three vibes going on there. So
486
00:31:42.880 --> 00:31:46.759
one of the things it looks like, it looks like
487
00:31:46.960 --> 00:31:50.200
this is a solid track piece and it's not brick
488
00:31:50.279 --> 00:31:55.160
built track. Is that I can't I can't quite tell,
489
00:31:55.839 --> 00:31:59.200
you know, what it might. I don't know. I don't
490
00:31:59.240 --> 00:32:01.839
know if this is when I say custom track. There
491
00:32:01.880 --> 00:32:05.359
are train communities out there that don't just use the
492
00:32:05.440 --> 00:32:08.880
Lego track. They kind of there's a couple different ways
493
00:32:08.880 --> 00:32:11.920
of doing it, and I'm wondering if that's the way
494
00:32:12.319 --> 00:32:16.880
or am I seeing I don't know. I think this
495
00:32:17.319 --> 00:32:19.599
might just be standard Lego track, which if it is
496
00:32:20.200 --> 00:32:22.880
great because then you can add more to it. It
497
00:32:22.880 --> 00:32:25.240
seems that all they did was put some tiles. I
498
00:32:25.240 --> 00:32:28.519
shouldn't say all they did, but they put some tiles
499
00:32:28.759 --> 00:32:31.000
down the center of the track and down the sides
500
00:32:31.960 --> 00:32:34.400
to cover up that, you know, the nasty studs. We
501
00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:38.720
don't like studs around here unless it's me. Ah, there
502
00:32:38.759 --> 00:32:42.359
was a joke there, and it's a dad joke. That's
503
00:32:42.359 --> 00:32:46.119
what I live with, It's what I live by. But
504
00:32:46.200 --> 00:32:48.200
I do like off of the back, you know, the
505
00:32:48.240 --> 00:32:51.839
little waiting area, the platform that people are waiting on.
506
00:32:53.480 --> 00:32:56.200
You've got your crane, another clock back there, you got
507
00:32:56.200 --> 00:32:59.960
your clock on the corner again. A lot of foliage
508
00:33:00.240 --> 00:33:03.039
of different plants and stuff like that to give you
509
00:33:03.079 --> 00:33:09.000
a different feel. It doesn't feel as what is deserted.
510
00:33:09.160 --> 00:33:12.119
There was no pun intended in there. It doesn't feel
511
00:33:12.119 --> 00:33:15.319
as deserted with all of this plant life that is
512
00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:18.000
going on, whether it be cacti or not. It just
513
00:33:18.200 --> 00:33:21.759
it adds some more in depth to the landscape as
514
00:33:21.799 --> 00:33:25.119
a whole. You got the little cactus skull that's sticking
515
00:33:25.160 --> 00:33:27.519
out the back end at the top of the building,
516
00:33:27.599 --> 00:33:29.960
you know, like they used to do, you know, hang
517
00:33:30.039 --> 00:33:32.519
that kind of stuff. It's kind of a kind of
518
00:33:32.559 --> 00:33:34.960
neat little train car that you got. You got some
519
00:33:35.160 --> 00:33:40.599
cannons for defense, point defense, somebody would say. And I
520
00:33:40.640 --> 00:33:43.079
do like the roof. The roof is kind of cool,
521
00:33:43.960 --> 00:33:47.160
maybe slate kind of idea that's going on. It looks
522
00:33:47.200 --> 00:33:50.839
like almost like a metal roof. Doubt they used metal
523
00:33:50.880 --> 00:33:55.279
back then, as it was probably very expensive to make.
524
00:33:55.680 --> 00:33:59.839
It's not like today. But a lot of stuff going
525
00:33:59.880 --> 00:34:03.480
on on the outside the inside is not a lot
526
00:34:03.519 --> 00:34:06.880
of pictures, and the pictures that are given to us
527
00:34:07.000 --> 00:34:10.719
are not great. These are the same pictures you can find.
528
00:34:10.760 --> 00:34:13.400
I'm actually looking on bricklink dot com. So you can
529
00:34:13.440 --> 00:34:17.559
go to their Designer program, go to series ten. What
530
00:34:17.599 --> 00:34:19.760
did I say, Series ten, and you can go look
531
00:34:19.800 --> 00:34:22.440
at each individual one of these if you are so curious.
532
00:34:23.280 --> 00:34:26.280
I'll leave the link in the show notes that will
533
00:34:26.320 --> 00:34:29.159
send you to the Designer program to be able to
534
00:34:29.199 --> 00:34:32.320
take a peek. But you kind of get an idea
535
00:34:32.400 --> 00:34:37.519
what's on the inside. It feels small based on these photos.
536
00:34:38.000 --> 00:34:43.119
It doesn't look small obviously from the footprint of it,
537
00:34:43.159 --> 00:34:45.719
but I don't know. The safe is cool. You can
538
00:34:46.119 --> 00:34:50.840
see the old heated stove that's going on there, and
539
00:34:50.880 --> 00:34:53.880
then the office. It's a nice brick belt chair. I
540
00:34:53.920 --> 00:34:57.480
do like that. It's different. Looks like we've got a phone,
541
00:34:57.679 --> 00:35:02.199
a telephone piece, like a receiver piece that you would
542
00:35:02.280 --> 00:35:04.920
talk into as part of the chair. Is that what
543
00:35:04.960 --> 00:35:07.360
that is? That's all I think it's that might be
544
00:35:07.639 --> 00:35:10.480
what that is, or might be something else, but I
545
00:35:11.159 --> 00:35:17.119
like it. It's cool, it's different. I wonder I know
546
00:35:17.159 --> 00:35:20.079
they've done so before I trip over my tongue again
547
00:35:21.039 --> 00:35:24.639
or my thoughts I should. I guess it feels like
548
00:35:25.599 --> 00:35:31.000
there's always a Western themed thing. There's always something castle
549
00:35:31.079 --> 00:35:35.119
related or medieval related. And I'm not saying every time
550
00:35:35.679 --> 00:35:38.559
it just feels like that seems to get a lot
551
00:35:38.599 --> 00:35:42.440
of traction. Obviously, there's a lot of folks that are
552
00:35:42.519 --> 00:35:46.079
interested in it. I'm interested in it. It always comes
553
00:35:46.119 --> 00:35:51.960
down to interest level comes at a cost, and if
554
00:35:51.960 --> 00:35:56.559
I'm gonna pick one out of five, then four are
555
00:35:56.559 --> 00:35:59.519
getting scrubbed, and it's got to be something that I'm
556
00:35:59.679 --> 00:36:02.840
so I'm not saying I'm not sold on this. I
557
00:36:02.840 --> 00:36:06.840
think this is great. I like the Western idea of things.
558
00:36:07.519 --> 00:36:10.320
It's just got to hit me in the right spot.
559
00:36:10.639 --> 00:36:14.519
I don't know if this does. Now We've got until
560
00:36:15.280 --> 00:36:21.559
what almost eleven ten months by the time this goes
561
00:36:21.639 --> 00:36:25.400
green gets greenlt to be bought, so plenty of time
562
00:36:25.639 --> 00:36:29.079
things could even change a little bit on it, which
563
00:36:29.159 --> 00:36:31.840
it would be nice to know what things did change
564
00:36:31.920 --> 00:36:34.000
on it. But I'm not saying I don't like it
565
00:36:34.480 --> 00:36:38.199
for me. If I were gonna rate these for me
566
00:36:38.760 --> 00:36:42.719
something that I would want today, already we went through
567
00:36:42.760 --> 00:36:45.119
the first three and I did that intentionally, so you
568
00:36:45.159 --> 00:36:49.559
weren't like, oh, I already know he's gonna no, So
569
00:36:50.320 --> 00:36:55.679
for me, Firehouse is still number one, but real close
570
00:36:55.760 --> 00:37:00.199
second is Space Cafe. It's a I think some we're
571
00:37:00.199 --> 00:37:03.079
gonna look at it and say it's a hot mess
572
00:37:03.800 --> 00:37:05.760
because it's a mix of a bunch of different things,
573
00:37:05.760 --> 00:37:09.519
but it's so cool. I would then say it would
574
00:37:09.559 --> 00:37:13.440
probably be the wild West train station, then the Kiosk,
575
00:37:13.639 --> 00:37:16.599
and then the Joust. For me personally, that's how I
576
00:37:16.599 --> 00:37:19.800
would rate them. That's how it would rank them based
577
00:37:19.840 --> 00:37:23.519
on what I think is going to happen. I think
578
00:37:24.000 --> 00:37:29.800
it'll be the Firehouse, wild West, and Joust that go
579
00:37:30.559 --> 00:37:35.400
boom like hotcakes just completely gone and boom goes the dynamite.
580
00:37:35.480 --> 00:37:38.440
You know. I just found out where that clip came from.
581
00:37:39.039 --> 00:37:41.599
Just found out two days ago during the tournament, the
582
00:37:41.840 --> 00:37:44.639
NCAA tournament for those of you that watch basketball, college
583
00:37:44.639 --> 00:37:49.440
basketball anyway, I just have a feeling wild West is
584
00:37:49.639 --> 00:37:53.599
probably gonna do pretty well. I think Firehouse was gonna
585
00:37:53.599 --> 00:37:56.599
do well. People love that kind of stuff. There's so
586
00:37:56.679 --> 00:38:00.840
many Firehouse enthusiasts, believe it or not. Older of my
587
00:38:00.920 --> 00:38:06.360
two sisters that are younger than me, she dated someone
588
00:38:07.119 --> 00:38:09.760
years before her husband, just like we all do. Right.
589
00:38:10.360 --> 00:38:14.000
And he was a firefighter. And the joke that I
590
00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:18.159
always had was, you know with the Chicago Fire the
591
00:38:18.400 --> 00:38:22.440
television show that anybody that's seen it knows fire department
592
00:38:22.519 --> 00:38:25.920
call out, right. And I would always joke around with him,
593
00:38:26.239 --> 00:38:29.000
and I would say it constantly, you know, almost to
594
00:38:29.119 --> 00:38:32.760
like annoyance. He's like, you know, we don't we really
595
00:38:32.840 --> 00:38:37.039
don't do that. I'm sure you don't do that, but
596
00:38:37.159 --> 00:38:40.440
it's Hollywood, right anyway. I say that to say this.
597
00:38:41.039 --> 00:38:43.280
He was a firefighter. And what they would do is
598
00:38:43.320 --> 00:38:46.719
when they would travel, they would travel and go visit
599
00:38:47.000 --> 00:38:49.400
firehouses wherever they were going. So when they would come
600
00:38:49.440 --> 00:38:53.280
to Texas to visit me, because Pennsylvania is a plane
601
00:38:53.360 --> 00:38:57.400
ride away for a long twenty two hour drive, or
602
00:38:57.400 --> 00:38:59.719
you can do it in twenty and a half if
603
00:38:59.800 --> 00:39:03.960
you're me anyway, So what they would do is they
604
00:39:03.960 --> 00:39:07.079
would travel and when they came here the one time,
605
00:39:07.719 --> 00:39:09.760
they went to a couple of different firehouses, just fire
606
00:39:09.760 --> 00:39:14.039
different stations to just look at and take pictures whatever.
607
00:39:14.559 --> 00:39:18.199
It was a thing anyway, But there's so many enthusiasts
608
00:39:18.199 --> 00:39:21.599
out there, like with trains, that there are with firehouses.
609
00:39:21.599 --> 00:39:24.639
There are people enamored by firehouses. And I say all
610
00:39:24.760 --> 00:39:28.320
that to say I think firehouse and train station the
611
00:39:28.320 --> 00:39:30.880
wild West train Station are probably gonna be the two
612
00:39:30.920 --> 00:39:35.400
big ones. However, I do think joust is gonna be
613
00:39:35.599 --> 00:39:39.880
right there with them. The only thing I wonder about
614
00:39:39.960 --> 00:39:43.599
joustas is it gonna be too rich for some people?
615
00:39:44.159 --> 00:39:46.559
Is it gonna be the price point gonna be a
616
00:39:46.800 --> 00:39:50.119
little bit too rich for them? Now, if that's something
617
00:39:50.199 --> 00:39:53.679
you just are dying to have or to collect, to
618
00:39:53.719 --> 00:39:56.559
go along with everything else, then you might just say,
619
00:39:57.079 --> 00:39:59.079
I don't care what the price is, shut up and
620
00:39:59.119 --> 00:40:02.400
take my money. Said in Futurama, we've all seen that
621
00:40:02.440 --> 00:40:05.159
meme or the giff jiff whatever it is at this
622
00:40:05.239 --> 00:40:09.079
point that's floating around the innerwebs. So I am very
623
00:40:09.119 --> 00:40:12.679
curious to see how this will do next February. So
624
00:40:13.119 --> 00:40:16.159
those are the details, And you know, the probably the
625
00:40:16.159 --> 00:40:19.119
funny thing is I probably could have not told you
626
00:40:19.159 --> 00:40:22.559
guys when this was available to purchase and just keep
627
00:40:22.599 --> 00:40:26.440
you just keep you hanging on. You'd be checking the
628
00:40:26.440 --> 00:40:29.639
internet like every week, like is it available today? Because
629
00:40:29.679 --> 00:40:31.760
again it's one of those things if you miss out,
630
00:40:31.920 --> 00:40:34.440
is done, is gone. You can't get it back, just
631
00:40:34.480 --> 00:40:37.519
like other Lego sets. However, this is not one of
632
00:40:37.519 --> 00:40:40.320
those things that stays in production, stays on a shelf
633
00:40:40.360 --> 00:40:44.559
for two years or longer. This is something that is
634
00:40:44.599 --> 00:40:49.159
gonna go away real quick. So anyway that I think
635
00:40:49.199 --> 00:40:52.800
that's gonna wrap up the episode, I feel this was good.
636
00:40:53.159 --> 00:40:56.039
I feel this was long enough. I feel like I
637
00:40:56.079 --> 00:40:59.039
have annoyed you enough to the point where you are
638
00:40:59.079 --> 00:41:01.079
ready to just say, oh my god, am I at
639
00:41:01.079 --> 00:41:04.920
work already? Or not shut this thing off. Surely you
640
00:41:04.960 --> 00:41:08.480
don't feel that way, but before we go, I do.
641
00:41:09.360 --> 00:41:11.079
I was gonna say this in the middle, and I said, no,
642
00:41:11.119 --> 00:41:13.760
we'll talk about it later. I'm going to reach out
643
00:41:14.400 --> 00:41:18.400
and I don't even know if you know any of
644
00:41:18.400 --> 00:41:20.840
these people that I mentioned, or you are one of
645
00:41:20.880 --> 00:41:24.119
these people that I mentioned out of the five and
646
00:41:24.159 --> 00:41:29.760
you are somebody that knows them. Again, I would love
647
00:41:30.199 --> 00:41:33.440
to talk to either you the mocker that like the
648
00:41:33.480 --> 00:41:38.320
mocker mommy, or if you know them, say Hey, this guy,
649
00:41:38.519 --> 00:41:42.960
this weird guy, he does this dumb podcast. He wants
650
00:41:43.000 --> 00:41:46.199
to talk to you about something. I would love to
651
00:41:46.360 --> 00:41:51.039
have them come on talk about their builds. Give that
652
00:41:51.079 --> 00:41:57.320
little blurb is nothing right. Sometimes aesthetics, sometimes design choices
653
00:41:57.400 --> 00:42:00.960
come down to is the part available? Yes? Is the
654
00:42:01.079 --> 00:42:04.800
part available? No? What can I do since that part
655
00:42:04.880 --> 00:42:07.559
that I want to use is not available? And again,
656
00:42:08.119 --> 00:42:11.719
parts are constantly changing in a catalog. You've already said
657
00:42:11.719 --> 00:42:15.599
they have until what January next year to finalize. So
658
00:42:15.679 --> 00:42:17.840
if there is a certain part that comes out in
659
00:42:18.000 --> 00:42:21.119
black that they could use on the kiosk or they
660
00:42:21.119 --> 00:42:23.159
could use on the train station, I'm looking at those
661
00:42:23.199 --> 00:42:26.320
because those have a lot of a number of black
662
00:42:26.320 --> 00:42:29.880
elements on them that could be something that they could change.
663
00:42:30.440 --> 00:42:33.639
I'm curious to know those details, those stories. It's what
664
00:42:33.679 --> 00:42:35.880
I love. I love getting the story from the people.
665
00:42:36.280 --> 00:42:38.480
And since I've not been able to get to a
666
00:42:38.559 --> 00:42:43.360
convention for the longest time due to my new career
667
00:42:43.800 --> 00:42:49.480
which seems to just always be at I would I think,
668
00:42:49.960 --> 00:42:51.719
I think we're going to do what we can. If
669
00:42:51.760 --> 00:42:54.719
I don't hear back from anybody because you don't know them,
670
00:42:54.760 --> 00:42:58.280
they don't know me, or whatever, or you are not them,
671
00:42:58.599 --> 00:43:00.519
I do have another way of going about it, and
672
00:43:00.559 --> 00:43:02.679
I think I'm going to reach out to the powers
673
00:43:02.679 --> 00:43:06.840
that be and say, hey, I would love to get
674
00:43:06.840 --> 00:43:09.719
these people on to do an interview. Could you ask them?
675
00:43:10.159 --> 00:43:12.559
Because I think It would be phenomenal to be able
676
00:43:12.559 --> 00:43:15.239
to get those little stories, the things that you don't
677
00:43:15.239 --> 00:43:17.320
stop and think about. You just look at it like
678
00:43:17.360 --> 00:43:19.280
I do, and you look at it and you say, oh,
679
00:43:19.280 --> 00:43:21.199
that firehouse was really cool. I really like what they
680
00:43:21.199 --> 00:43:23.679
did here. I did here. And in the blurb you're
681
00:43:23.679 --> 00:43:26.840
getting a little bit of a piece of something, and
682
00:43:26.920 --> 00:43:31.039
maybe maybe it changes your mind. Maybe you were all
683
00:43:31.039 --> 00:43:33.159
in and now you're all out. Maybe you were all out,
684
00:43:33.239 --> 00:43:36.840
now you're all in. It's usually that way. That's usually
685
00:43:36.840 --> 00:43:39.679
how I get suckered into things. I hear something where
686
00:43:39.679 --> 00:43:43.000
I get in extra detail and I'm like, I just
687
00:43:43.119 --> 00:43:45.360
have to do this now. I don't I don't care
688
00:43:45.400 --> 00:43:48.679
what it's gonna take, what it's gonna cost. If I
689
00:43:48.760 --> 00:43:51.480
have the disposable income to do it, that's what I
690
00:43:51.480 --> 00:43:56.079
want to do. And it usually involves plastic of some kind.
691
00:43:56.639 --> 00:43:58.920
But yeah, I think I think that could be fun.
692
00:43:59.320 --> 00:44:02.000
I think that'd be good. I think you guys would
693
00:44:02.039 --> 00:44:04.239
enjoy it. I would enjoy it. Whether you do or not,
694
00:44:04.320 --> 00:44:07.159
I don't really care. Totally kidding, but I think it
695
00:44:07.159 --> 00:44:11.159
would be cool. So with that note, we are going
696
00:44:11.199 --> 00:44:13.960
to end this episode. I hope you enjoyed it. I
697
00:44:14.000 --> 00:44:16.920
hope you are doing well wherever you are at. I
698
00:44:16.960 --> 00:44:20.760
hope this was enough silliness and in real world stuff
699
00:44:20.800 --> 00:44:26.960
and the real world stuff, actuality, life, happiness, whatever. I
700
00:44:26.960 --> 00:44:29.320
don't know what I'm trying to say. I just hope
701
00:44:29.320 --> 00:44:31.920
you enjoyed it and it sucked you away from whatever
702
00:44:32.440 --> 00:44:35.719
bad things or rough day you may have had on
703
00:44:35.880 --> 00:44:39.760
the car ride home, on your run, whatever. So until
704
00:44:39.760 --> 00:44:43.519
we meet again, I'm your minifig ghost, Matt. Let's build
705
00:44:43.559 --> 00:44:43.760
on it.
