3:55 This is in Dutch. 3:58 This is in French. Since you have both it means that this box is from Belgium where Dutch and French are both official languages. Since I speak French, I can translate for you. On top box it says, "Choose your fate and try to win one of many Star Wars prices". The top of the middle box asks to choose between the light and the dark side and explain their choice by either writing or drawing. The bottom of the middle box asks to guess how many people will participate in this contest. The bottom box is just a fill out form with instruction to send the form to an address in Bruxelles, Belgium (confirming my original assumption) before the 31st of December 2017.
Since in Russia we don't (and didn't before) have the official Lego, we never had the same promos / gifts with purchases you normally get in official stores elsewhere. That's why the contents of the Russian gift box was kind of exclusive to the Russian buyers, but I can feel the frustration for seeing the stuff you'd normally get for free))
Russian certified Lego retailer (which released the box in the video) had a lot of same promos as the official Lego stores had, the problem is that the retailer was quite selective in choosing which promos they would like to include. So that’s why they never offered 20th anniversary Ben Kenobi but, for example, they were giving the Mario expansion set with Stone-Eye for pre-ordering the starter course, just as Lego stores had
Oh and by the way I remember the Russian retailer offering most of the promos included in this box (at least the dioramas and the minifig polybags with that small background piece) so apparently the reason for the gift box is pretty much the same as the others: they wanted to get rid of the remaining stocks, those alien sets undoubtedly point at that because no one ever cared about those 🙃
@@FabuBrikor some reason, I am almost sure that you are either a Ukrainian, or just a Russophobe, or a person who thoughtlessly believes in propaganda without having his own opinion, or just a head on his shoulders.
in Russia, there has always been a network intermediary approved by the Lego company, it worked on the principle of all other lego stores, but formally had a different name. And about the lack of promotions with gifts, you're just lying, we were constantly given gifts when shopping, I don't remember more than one day in my life that Russians lego stores didn't give gifts when buying for a certain amount of money.

It’s the way his undying love for the company and also burning hatred for the company work together to form his burning passion for lego 😭 that’s the best thing about these videos is seeing how much he cares and loves it. Thanks for another banger king!
Translation for the Dutch piece of paper in the Intertoys mystery box: ''Choose your path and have a chance to win fantastic Star Wars prizes!'' (in the red circle it says ''A Star Wars bedroom makeover!'' as one of the prizes) ''Choose your path! Choose your path and tells us why you choose the light or dark side of The Force!'' And at the bottom it just asks for you personal information to join the giveaway
I do own the Dutch mystery box, the "movie tickets" youre talking about are actually post cards you could give to your friends and ask them to come build togheter... its lamer then you might have thought. The other one was being able to have a chance to win one of those products indeed.. not all of them. It was a promotion that I'm sure you could get spending a certain amount of money, think it was 100 euro on lego star wars products. Altough if you knew a guy that worked at Intertoys they could give you some. I got two. Gave one to my ex... still regret it till this day 😆
I remember ordering something online so I could get the Last Jedi themed ''mystery box''. But when my order arrived I didn't get the mystery box. Luckily some time later I recieved two in the mail so that was pretty cool.
It was like watching Christmas morning opening a present that was disappointing while your aunt was sitting there, smiling thinking she was the best aunt ever. 😂. Great stuff
The Shore trooper polybag mystery box was also sold in Belgium, my country 😉. It was sold in or most popular Toy store: Dreamland. I got 3 of those boxes 😅
With how disappointed I am with modern LEGO Star Wars Clones and choices... it's the little things in life that will make me happy hahah thank you! Glad you enjoyed!
I must say that in Russia no one buys mystery boxes, since the official reseller of the Lego company (in Russia - Mir Kubikov) always puts sets there that are not in demand by the buyer, do not make a profit and simply lie in a warehouse or on display. Mystery boxes sold for about $60-80, which is the price of a good set. P.S. It's Russian business.
that "STAR WARS GIFT BOX!" was funny af, im pretty sure all us lego nerds were on the edge of out seat to see the cool stuff and ended up being the funniest thing in a while.
If you want to recoup some of the cost of the big box I would be interested in buying that Hoth 20th set from you, fun to see what’s contained in those “mystery boxes”
For the second mystery box, the cards weren't tickets but invitation (like birthday cards) you'd send to your friends to go see The Last Jedi together. Source: There's some French and I speak French.
The two alien poly bags were special Lego store builds where you would basically build them in the Lego store (you would have to sign up to attend one of these beforehand) These events ended around 2018 to 2019
ok 3:37 this is what i can traslate Come toghether with me to the newest star wars the last jedi at kinepolls find out and go with me to a galaxy far far away so yes its a ticket as a dutch person translation is easy 3:55 choose your path and make chance on fantastic star wars prizes
I got an Indiana Jones mystery box back at SDCC in '08. Sealed. Traded for it at the time. Got a polybagged jeep with Indy figure. Very cool and an exclusive temple terrain build with two Ugha Warrior figs. The terrain you drive over is like a trap too. That was exclusive (the terrain/temple build) only to that Indy box (box exclusive too). Worth like $600 now. It was $50 at that show. So like at the time, that polybag (jeep and figure) you could say like $10 dollars, and the temple/trap/terrain is like roughly less than 200 pieces or so? So fairly say like a $15 worth of Lego (large skull element, two large ramps are stand out elements to have). And with the two Ugha Warrior figs another like $5 of figs. So total, I'd say you got $30 of Lego, and exclusive box, exclusive instructions on nice quality paper (unique to Lego). Box very sturdy w/nicely printed graphics. Unique fold out instructions on thick paper. Very exclusive too, for a Lego set. So you could say at the time, a fair price considering only 500 made and convention exclusive to boot. One of my prized pieces in my Lego collection.
The text on the paper isn't actually Dutch but French and it says: "choose your Destiny and your chance to win. One of many starwars awards". Which leads me to believe it may have come frome a Top1toys in Belgium
Gotta say, finally finding out what was in that gift box years after your initial video on it was pretty neat. Crazy to think that was a coupke years ago lol. Still think these are better than the rigged whatnot blind bags lol
I've not seen that ufo Pollybag in years it's from a old promotion in the UK and other places where on the first Thursday every month you could go up and get one for free
Yeah, JB does their own 'licensed' Lego exclusives. Like they also have their own exclusive fig 3 packs. I think another toy store in Europe does that too (in England). Looks like that JB box has stuff you can get from those European Star Wars magazines that have polybags of figs, and mini vehicles. That Lego 'mystery' box is the only fair priced one (the official one). And has a decent selection of figs.
I want LEGO to do another mystery box with polybag minifigs again! Also, I totally love how Ryan didn't want to cut the wrapping paper seal, I'm right there with him, I would have pulled it out of the box too lol.
3:40 Translation from Dutch: "Dear ___, Join me to discover the latest Star Wars (The Last Jedi) at Kinepolis and go to a galaxy far far away!" Kinepolis is a cinema, but it doesn't appear to be a ticket, just a bit of cardboard to invite people. I think the small text say something like: "This invitation isn't a ticket, and also cannot be traded in for one. To participate in a showing of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, you have to buy a ticket beforehand" Exciting stuff -_-
3:56 "Choose your path for a chance to win fantastic Star Wars prizes. Choose your side and tell us why you picked the light or the dark side of the Force! " The blurry bit is harder to read, but it looks like you're supposed to guess how many people have participated in the sweepstakes by the 31st of December at midnight, followed by contact details.
The cards from the Netherlands pack say: Dear BLANK, come and discover the latest star wars the last jedi with me at kinepolis and join me in a galaxy far far away (yes the phrasing is also weird in durch)
If Lego were to have mystery boxes of some of those European SW magazine polybags (containing both figures and mini-builds) for US customers, I could very much see myself getting some. Then again, I think I'd rather just have a Star Wars minifig series that features SW characters or a Clone Trooper focused one. With the older helmets of course.
I remember those Lego ones in store . They didn't announce them or anything. They lasted hours in my local store I was so disappointed. I contacted Lego and they sent me 3 of the figs but didn't get the box.
I mean the sad part is to complete 100% of Lego Star Wars, you'd have to have the rare 1 of 1's, the limited editions, and maybe some misprints. So I wish you luck on the venture.
Funny seeing the R3 cuz recently (like a month ago) Legoland California put up a bunch of the r3 poly bags for people to just buy if they wanted to for $5 each cuz our warehouse just kinda found them sitting around, lol
the second box was available in belgium as well it was free if you had a lego membership every month you get another free lego mystery item box the items inside could be from ninjago star wars harry potter
Ask MandR: I've displayed most of mine for quite awhile and dust piles up easily. What is the best way to eliminate the dust without damaging the Lego?

Man, It was so good to see Mandr excited for something Lego-related again. The paper hype is real.
Amazing video! The December 2018 gift box is clearly the best (in my opinion) by having all of those minifig polybags.
You only had to spend $75 USD to get it. Looking back on it it insane value...
I had no Idea Lego made mystery boxes
That's why there a mystery
Me neither
To make money

Imagine if the Big box from Russia came with a Chrome Vader, Chrome Stormtrooper, and Gold C-3po. That would be BONKERS.
The disappointment of receiving nothing cool in a surprise box perfectly shows why gambling and lootboxes is a bad idea.
Imagine opening an old promo mystery box nowadays and getting a sealed Shadow ARF Trooper or Darth Revan promo. That wood be so insane.
I remember ordering something online so I could get the Last Jedi themed ''mystery box''. But when my order arrived I didn't get the mystery box. Luckily some time later I recieved two in the mail so that was pretty cool.

That alien space ship is the special ship that you would find throughout the lego clone wars game levels. Cools Easter egg for them to add.
2:28 , holy shit you just unlocked a core memory , I got that as a kid and I absolutely loved it
Watching you open the box from Russia legitimately made me smile . . . you were so excited like a kid on Christmas!
With how disappointed I am with modern LEGO Star Wars Clones and choices... it's the little things in life that will make me happy hahah thank you! Glad you enjoyed!
I don’t know why watching you open mystery boxes is so damn fun and exciting…
OMG 2:50 this really gives me weird memory. I as kid always wanted it lol! I am dutch
now that i think about it, that paper wrap thing in the last box could be a good design for lego 's new recycle-able paper bags inside each lego sets
2:57 I paid 20 euros for that but I live in Belgium so it was easily shipped.
I must say that in Russia no one buys mystery boxes, since the official reseller of the Lego company (in Russia - Mir Kubikov) always puts sets there that are not in demand by the buyer, do not make a profit and simply lie in a warehouse or on display.

that "STAR WARS GIFT BOX!" was funny af, im pretty sure all us lego nerds were on the edge of out seat to see the cool stuff and ended up being the funniest thing in a while.
seriously if lego did a mystery box it would be a massive seller
11:30 I used to put stickers like that in DHL job on all lego boxes. It was so weird...
I also have the red last Jedi box. (3:38) those are actually invitation you can give to someone and not actual tickets.
They should make lego themed wall paper, it sounds stupid but it would be cool in a lego room.
If you want to recoup some of the cost of the big box I would be interested in buying that Hoth 20th set from you, fun to see what’s contained in those “mystery boxes”
11:43 whenever you get a bad gift on Christmas

Absolutely amazing vid though fr
that sealed home one set in the backround is awesome i want it
Ryan: sees a box that literally has the word "gift" on it
Also Ryan: pays hundreds of dollars for it
