hello everyone this is the Lego Marvel Super Heroes Thanos ultimate battle set
and as always movie related sets are allowable to have some movie related
spoilers so make your choices on what videos to watch appropriately and please
be sure to check out the pinned comment on this video that a pinned comment
before you comment yourself so this is the third ravager em ship that Lego has
made to go with minifigs and it's the third design it's completely different
design from the last one as far as how its built and definitely a completely
different design from the first each has had its own thing going for it this one
has a nice broad wingspan I think it's one of the more elegant of the three I'm
not sure if it quite beats the first one but the first one you know had the most
pieces and the largest size and the most bulk overall but I think this looks
really nice on display it does have a lot of studs visible and also some anti
studs showing the undersides of things but I think it looks better in person
than it does on camera to be honest I think it looks really good some things
that are unique to this one in terms of how it's built include the dihedral with
the wings they're actually angled up just slightly from the horizontal plane
which is a nice thing and it works well if you kind of bring the go wing thing
into it you can change the angles if a lot of these winglets as usual this goes
up and down this goes up and down these go in and out these go up in town these
go up and down you know kind of the usual fare the usual stuff that you
would expect here these anti studs on the insides of these vertical fins don't
look all that great to me but I'm glad that they have the nice thinness to them
makes everything look a little bit sharper than if they had tried to bulk
it up and cover everything up with tiles and you know they don't have Dayak well
they don't have many diagonal tiles that would really help to smooth things over
so I'm actually quite a fan of this design to be honest with you it has just
a couple of stud shooters one on top of either wing surprise it in put more in
it then uses the same canopy piece printed
canopy piece as the last one that they did but here this is angled forward much
more so that's a good thing I think does not hold for people inside of that
canopy area though instead it holds just too but this is a little removable
scooter thing that you can pull out you just grab that and pull it out and then
that's able to to fly around or scoot around you know use it as a small
speeder and it's able to hold on to all the accessories you need for both of
those many things nice to have a little deployable thing they have a pretty
nicely shaped space there to imagine the figures getting back into the inner
passenger compartment and the rear also opens up pretty nicely and to get better
access you can take off the top so that all opens up that's good it's just a
single sticker on either side there's one there and there's one there no tape
deck in this one unfortunately get a couple more seats though you can put a
couple more people back there plus you have space for some cargo and I'll show
you what the cargo can be just a little bit later on yeah this is nice that
again it's just a single piece with a single you know thickness of in this
case a tile I was like these were just a single plate and it works well gives you
a nice smooth space there interestingly this is very flat on the back because it
was designed to have another set actually get attached to it these flaps
come down to close up that space the back of the box gives you a preview man
once I review this set I will show you the two together in person as well looks
like they go together pretty nicely and it'll make the whole thing look a little
bit more aerodynamic and complete rather than just ending with that flat plane
here's a look at the ship from a lower angle just to help you to get a little
bit better understanding of how it appears from some different
views so they did actually build it up around the side a bit and close that up
around the fuselage so it doesn't look too blocky and incomplete there it's
really just the back that looks particularly flat and again that's
because of the docking that's available it's a pretty large unit it gets
attached to it so they needed some space for that I think it works looks a lot
better once you put that on there but this is not bad just has that at one
angle that's not as good as the rest for sure
of course Thanos himself and the Infinity Gauntlet are two other major
draws and selling points for this set I think that uh looks okay I I personally
am still not a major fan of big figs I think that Lego has done a handful of
pretty good big figs but this one is just kind of kind of normal you know it
doesn't really stand out in in its overall quality of course it just has
the regular articulation of the arms that can be moved up and down
individually and the hand can be rotated around and he has his sword wielded at
the moment no ability to move the legs or to move the head the quality of the
printing on the figure I think is pretty good there's nothing to be seen around
the back as usual but you do get the stand for the
Infinity Gauntlet and the gauntlet itself looks pretty good obviously you
can plug in each of the stones or gems and this set comes with the reality
stone and in fact as with the other infinity war sets they give you a sprue
of four of those so if you lose one you still have three more you can go through
that process of losing them a number of times and still not be out of look out
of luck and you can pull this off and put it directly on him I have to say
that is a better look for a sure you know takes away some of the plainness
and sameness of of the big fakes you know this makes it definitely a lot more
prestigious looking and more unique to have that different handpiece there and
I think that's done pretty decently well it's not able to hold things quite as
much but that makes sense and you know rotating this around does make it look
like a like a proper fist I guess that side isn't the best looking
right there with the open space there maybe they could have closed that up a
bit better but overall I think they did a pretty good job here like the depth
behind it and I look forward to after I go through and review all of the
Infinity Ward sets look for - going ahead and putting all the stones in this
and seeing how that looks here's another Iron Man mark 48 the
figure is not exclusive to this set but all the extra boosters attached to him
are specifically with the sticker sheet that makes that specific to this set the
parts themselves I think are not unique in any way but that's a pretty good
build you know it scales really well all the booster elements I think scale
really well - a Lego minifigs way that they're proportioned you can change the
angles of these a bit because they are attached to the exact same back back
piece that they used for the iron spider they've got some bars and this can be
angled in and out and you can change around the kind of blast pieces so they
give you a full set of the blast and splat pieces I'll show you the rest of
them as well but I think it's a pretty good looking thing we need to look at
just the figure up close though hmm maybe he doesn't want to be seen up
close that's just a little combination that they suggest for one of the blast
pieces and one of the splat pieces to connect them together to show some
firepower coming off one of the hands and then they give you a couple they
give you a couple of sets of these and then a couple of these smaller ones as
well just the the full set of all the pieces that they introduced just last
year for those types of comic elements and again otherwise this is the exact
same iron and figure that's in the sanctum
sanctorum set still a really good-looking one I think this one's not
printed quite as well as the last one I got around the base of the mouth with
the gold but the eyes look pretty good and those eyes look really great from a
distance even it's a testament to good design in my opinion and it has good
torso printing around the back it has the two-faced prints so this one shows
all the heads-up display stuff I still think that looks a little bit too pale
there could have gone with a darker base color maybe you know that's really the
way you want to see it right there and I think you needed to have just some
some darkness around you know that the shadows around the edges but this is how
they did it I'm okay with it I understand why they
did it and I do appreciate an attempt to make things pop with the the colors in
detail and there's just his standard expression and then rounding things out
here are star-lord and Gamora and I think between the two of these Gamora
is the star as a figure I like the printing on the face and I like the hair
and I think the torso is is decent not a highlight of the set
I think the legs are kind of the low point of that figure just because the
print is not done all that well on this one
it's a little bit a little bit thin and then star-lords torso print is actually
done pretty well standard face for him prints around the backs look about as
good as the front and there are their alternate faces just a little bit off of
Gamora there you go I figure a lot of folks will want to buy
this for Thanos and the gauntlet and if you already have one of the em ships you
may be a little bit annoyed ultimately kind of having to buy another one unless
you're gonna wait and buy just the figures at a big markup on the after
market if you have the second M ship that they did this is definitely a
better one you will like this much more you know repurpose one of them have them
battle against each other or together or something and have this one be the
disappear because you'll see in person it's just a
much more majestic thing Iron Man with all the boosters pretty cool
good Gamora star-lord is star-lord you know you star Lord overall I think
it's a decent set I think that'll be better with the combination I think I
would I would feel better about it if they hadn't just recently done an EM
ship that in my opinion was not as good as this one and I wish that Thanos was
more more detailed more something just he needs more in my opinion he sees not
special enough to me the gauntlet is good and the Infinity stone system that
came up with is good I look forward to filling that up but just the figure
itself for something that's so valuable and that like I said drive so much of
the the volume of sales of this set I wish that he was a little bit better so
those are my thoughts on the set and most importantly I have shown the thing
to you so you can make your own determination whether you think it's
worth it or not what you think of the set on the whole let me know if you have
any thoughts about it after checking out the pinned comment feel free to leave a
comment of your own and I'll keep working and talk to you in soon
you
