hello everyone this is the Lego Marvel superheroes Thor's weapon quest set from
Avengers infinity war there are spoilers in this set related to the infinity war
movie so don't consider yourself warned you have actually been warned about that
and be sure to check out the pinned comment and the video description if you
haven't seen those already the main build is this pod that's intended to
attach very well to the main M ship for this series I'll show you how that works
in a minute I like the shaping of this it's a little
bit different it has some nice lines some nice smooth lines you know it's not
that frequent that we see concave curves on ships especially here just in general
really with with Lego build so that's nice to see I like how they extended
things out with the spoiler or wing pieces done in the sand blue color at
the base just all of this shaping along the side I really just enjoy putting
together with different types of pieces used to create that effect I think the
stickers work really nicely in there I like how the the dark grey and the light
gray kind of interface to each other as you look at it from front to back or
back to front and I also appreciate the inclusion of this shallower it's like
the TIE fighter canopy piece shallower dish piece on the back it allows you to
have that wide open viewable space without it taking up the depth of a
larger canopy part like this and it went together pretty quickly no no real crazy
special techniques for sure and you can get into this by taking the roof off
here and by opening up this and opening up this this actually opens down and you
fit three people in there so I've got all three of the figures of the set in
there at one time the only problem here is that the accessories do not fit with
them so you know what to find some place to put those I guess you can kind of
throw them in there but they don't have any clips or anything that that is one
thing that's a little bit missing here but it's nice to actually be able to get
three folks into such a small build rocket does have
to stand up but I mean he's gonna have to stand up because he's not able to
bend his legs anyway they give you two stud shooters one on either side up here
they're easy to get to I think they don't look bad at all the color just
fits right in I think the shaping fits just fine so this doesn't have much in
the way of negative stuff going on for it oh one other thing that I really like
about that design of this is just that large fender piece now that little bit
of curve just sticks out as viewed from the top doesn't look as great from the
front but as you view it from the side from the top that's nice just a type of
shape that you don't frequently see that you know a little bit of incursion there
just a slightly different radius I liked it now let's finally check out how the
pod attaches to the EM chip from the Thanos battle set and it's actually
really simple you have these two locking flaps here in
orange that need to be turned up and the flat flaps in gray just need to be
raised up a bit other than that this is just gonna slide right in uses that
extra space and then use the few technican Ector x' down at the base it's
actually much better than I expected a really good use of this large
specialized fuselage bar look at that just slides right in and that's pretty
much it now you can bring these down to help lock it together and it becomes
even more solid I mean I can actually hold the entire ship from the pod that's
how well those simple connections go together that's really good design and I
think that looks so much better now so so much better than just leaving the
flat surface on the back this really really adds this makes for in my opinion
one of the best combinations most useful combinations that Lego has come up with
for two different sets in a long time and in quite some number of years that I
that I can recall really just adds doesn't take away at all gives you the
extra space to put three more figures in there the the main ship itself will hold
four so you know it's it's a significant in
prease proportion-wise percentage-wise yeah it's smooth it's slick the add-on
is not a particularly expensive set the lines go together the positions of
colors go together kind of flows shaping the shape of the pod to me just looks
really good for that section of the universe you know the design work that
they've done for the guardians of the galaxy stuff has had a certain a certain
flavor and this preserves it so I think it goes really well with the EM ship
design yeah I'm really really happy with this what about taking it off maybe
maybe taking an office not as easy well they give you these - asking me one by
two newer style of modified plate pieces with the bar at either end so that's
easy to get your finger under there and then pull this straight out now no sweat
no problem at all I think you have these separately you can get this to come down
yeah it all just works very nicely really good design there and then the
second build in the weapon quest set is this Forge or piece of a forge from
nidavellir I'm sure I'm pronouncing that wrong but it's the same place where
Muller was originally forged and the idea here well I think this is a
dramatic simplification of what we're actually going to see in the movie and
it might not be entirely accurate but the way that Lego has set it up for the
sake of play is that you approach this and Thor needs to use his you know his
energy his electrical power to either manipulate this device this power device
or power it up in the first place to create something or he can unlock it
somehow so that it can release the weapon and there are two action features
the first one is really simple it's really basic it's just a drawer that
will reveal the weapon inside the other one is just to spin this up you know
another of those is particularly interesting I think this looks cool and
it helps to support some play patterns the drawer is maybe a little bit too
simple I don't know I think it's I think it's okay but just not great you know
it's it's just so simplified with so few pieces probably because of the budget
they just kind of throw the infinity stone back here the power stone it's
just on a little pedestal I don't know if you need to bring that to this to act
as one of the elements to help power it up maybe that's you know just a story
that you can use there there are definitely possibilities for imaginative
play here even if this doesn't line up exactly with what happens in the movie
which is which is all good actually you know given that it's a toy and kids
should be encouraged to go beyond the you know just the story that's already
been written and create their own story so I'm okay with this it's just really
simple and really limited I think there's a look at how Lego did that
particular weapon I think that even without the other leaks that we've seen
it would be pretty obvious from this with the use of the twig piece which is
really like a a carrot top piece that's been recolor to brown we've had that for
a while but it's pretty obvious that that the handle is supposed to come from
Groot so that's where you know Cruz is gonna really bring his value into this
scene and why he's important for this this is half hammer and half X and it's
essentially the new Mjolnir for now on here's a closer look at the new version
of Thor which to me looks a little bit more generic and simple and plain
compared to previous versions you know it doesn't look as unique to me and
that's not a lego issue that's just kind of the MCU design just personal opinion
about that though I think that Lego perhaps could have put a little bit more
depth into the printing by going between the gray that they used and a different
shade or maybe bring you in just a little bit of gunmetal gray or some
silver just to create yeah just just depth and more shape or illusion of
shape there but the designs that are placed there I think look good this does
use the same head as the Ragnarok with the the lightning coming out of the
eyes and he does have both eyes lit up there and his hands have right now just
a little adapter it allow you to attach the splat and blast pieces so you can
create different looks of the electricity coming out of them that
one's actually backwards there it actually doesn't look bad look at it
it's an interesting different way of doing it but yeah you can attach any of
those types of things and they give you a full set of those in this set
including some of the regular power blast pieces while the second generation
ones that don't actually fire off but just give you the illusion of a little
ball of electricity just coming off a hand rocket racoon as far as I can tell
is exactly the same version as the guardians of the galaxy 2 version I
don't think anything has changed other than the blaster but you know it's
something that can always be swapped out to me this one looks like it's printed
better than the one that I got from guardians of the galaxy - so everything
looks more crisp especially with the the shoulders with the dark red printing
there and also the smile on the underside of the the snout just looks
it's more clean looks like it's done better to me a perfectly good figure I
think it'll be nice to get something different but it's it's not bad as it is
you can reverse the tail although if you do point the tail down then you need to
be standing on top of something because it's taller than his short little legs
and there's just the rest of print on the torso on the back lastly here's the
teen angst Groot the nobody understands me edition version of them I think this
looks pretty good it works out just fine in my opinion just doing a minifigure of
this surprisingly so you know we went from from a full built-up action figure
brick-built action figure of them down to micro fig single piece thing and now
they come just right to the middle and I'm surprised at how well I think this
actually works I think the shaping of head works well the proportions are
actually pretty appropriate for an a Lego a vacation of the character
yeah I like it yeah really no complaints here they only give you one of the the
twig style pieces the branch pieces to show the extension coming out would be
nice to get a spare of that as well but overall pretty well done I think I think
one of the most interesting things about this set is that it is not conflict
based it's not about battle at all there are no bad guys here there's nothing to
fight against I'm I'm pretty sure that Thor is going to work with this device
here to create his new weapon so it's all just a very positive and
constructive thing again I don't think this looks that great and rocket enemies
pretty much the same actually think that the Thor figure is not that great either
Group teen group teen angst group I think is really good the pod I think is
a really good use of pieces and gives you some some interesting shapes
interesting building techniques that are simple but cool to look at and cool to
put together and adds a lot of value if you get the hem ship also adds a lot of
value to that in play and also display I think both so yeah I think this set is
not going to be for everyone I think it's not a must buy for for fans of
infinity war unless you're on a quest to get all the gems and stones in which
case you do need to get this one to complete the collection but I think that
if you like what you see if you are into using your imagination a bit beyond just
the exact things that are provided and the exact story that's that's told
officially this can provide a lot of lot of value for kids I think that by itself
does not give you a lot of value for display or collectability unless you're
really just going for the completionist route but that's it for my look at this
set so thanks for watching and I'll talk to you in as soon as I can
you
