RUINING My Most Expensive Lego Set!

- Sorry in advance if i sound a bit different, its been snowing in the UK so i've got a cold.
I always planned to open this set once i got my own house but i thought i would share the experience with the fellas, its a really nice set but the price is beyond unreasonable now. I dont even know why its suddenly exploded to be honest, not too long ago it was around 4k which is still far too much.
I hope you enjoy the video though and if you have any ideas for future videos then let me know.
Thanks again!
The first skin tone minifigures were the basket ball ones

Lando is the first proper black figure, the NBA figures don’t exactly count seen as they have a specialised design, they also came out in the same year 🤓

Lego is never ruined when opened, it is fulfilling it's purpose.
Very true 👍
Words of wisdom many have forgotten, that only the true of heart remember.
I’ve noticed with figure collectors that keeping in the box is okay and all, as long as there’s a transparent window to see it through, but if you can’t see it through the box, let alone the finished product as with Lego, you’ve ruined its purpose
Seriously
It's never fun to leave Lego sets mint in box.
That only works for action figures because you can still see the figure in the package.
Lego is meant to be opened.
So refreshing to see a Lego channel that isn't just big hauls from the Lego store, or complaining about minor details about Lego Star Wars. Keep it up
Good on ya mate. It's nowhere near the equivalent but I managed to find a Dino Island set boxed for a great price, and opened it after a day. I was weighing up the pros and cons and realised "I bought it because I wanted the set, not the box."
Exactly! No point having lego you cant see! 😁
Honestly glad you opened such a "legendary" set. I understand the like "historical preservation" behind keeping lego sealed, but it's certainly not a bad thing to open a set up and enjoy it.
From that title I thought you were going to smash the box or break Boba Fett's arms or something, thankfully all you did was build the set and actually use it like the designers intended back in the day! It's crazy most people would have it sit in a box instead of actually enjoying owning it!
Its why i try to avoid buying discontinued sets new, i buy them to display not to rot away 😁
What I would do is sell it new and then buy a used one. You let it stay new, you get a bit of a profit, and you get the set (get your cake and you eat it too)
@@RobrickLegoso how did you feel about it
This is what I have been missing in Lego reviews. Humor and creativity as well as information. Thank you very much.
No way you opened a completely new cloud city set😲
I honestly respect it
I recently discovered (and binged) your channel. Have to say I love your humour and really appreciate all the jokes you slip into every video. Thanks so much, sir! ❤
Love the humor and commentary! Great video
I got this set for Christmas in 2003 and still have it on display now. So glad my parents taught me to take care of my toys
Damn you got crazy lucky! 😁
I got it for Christmas as well, but I gave this and all my other lego away when I turned 20😂😂 😢😢....
Great work Robrick, thanks for showing us this really cool set.
I just binge-watched your entire channel!
Loving the vids (especially the British humour)
I normally upload on a Friday, so after furious editing, I can now look forward to Robrick Sundays!
-I'm gonna ruin this set.
-Is he gonna destroy the minifigures? Melt the bricks? Smear greasy food over them?
-Worse, he is gonna open the box, assemble the set and use the play features.
-What a vile crime against all Lego stands for!!!
I kind of like the fact that I've only ever seen this set 3 times: in the catalogs, once at the LEGO Store in Disney World, and once in a resale LEGO store.
Glad you enjoyed building it!
These videos are great. Love the work. Keep it up. I'm a fan.
so few videos about cloud city and even fewer where people unbox. thanks for the vid!
honestly just found your channel maybe a day or two ago and it’s now my fav channel on youtube. keep up the good work brother! can’t wait to see more vids🦾
Thanks lad 😊
Fun fact: the yellow/blue cape was used a SECOND time with the 20th Anniversary edition of Lando as featured in 75259 Snowspeedwr from 2019. The only difference is 1 more cm of cape, according to Bricklink.
I'm pleased to have this one even if the brown is updated to Reddish Brown.
My guess for the Carbonite chamber placing is because of making an escape scene with the door leading out to the landing platform. Making the walkway in the center would not only be balanced but also sturdy in 2003 LEGO standards.
Cool ❤
You're videos are so funny man! Life time subscriber.
Thanks 😁
How do you open it (besides opening the bags) the audacity this man has…
I love it
Even I can’t open an $8000/$10,000 lego set
You’re so eloquent, I dig it! A deposit for a house, it’s painfully true xD
yay you uploaded
this is a very good video and this is a fire channel
Congrats on 1k and hopefully being monetised
On the plus side you have a really cool set, On the downside you just sacrificed around half the potential value....
Fingers crossed the video eventually makes back the losses in views, ad revenue and channel growth in the future. Keep doing what you are and I am sure you will hit 10k in no time.
God knows how you will too this video though.
glorious!
Absolutely based for opening this set
The lockdowns and the recent release of a new lego star wars game really brought parasitic price speculation into overdrive for stuff like this. I remember seeing a nearly complete one used back in 2019 for 150 USD at a hobby shop specifically made for selling used lego. I'm not the kinda guy who usually has 100 dollars just lying around to blow on lego used or otherwise but it just makes it sting a bit more considering this is one of those sets I've always loved the aesthetics of since I saw it in a magazine as a kid.
Knockoff companies never stopped producing copies of the boba fett from this set, so even if you had money to blow on the individual minifigures it's a russian roulette type situation of visually identical genuine bobas, knockoff bobas passed as genuine or "custom replicas" as well as some actual waterslide decal customs all being passed hands between a mix of people that don't know anything other than ""boba cloud city value+big money!!!"" and actual scammers. A similar phenomenon was happening with stuff like the gonk droid and the original lego jabba for a bit, but those have mostly gone back down in price as far as I'm aware.
Its happened to SDCC figs too, its a bit scary buying them now as you run the risk of getting a fake 😬
@@RobrickLego The SDCC ones are worse in the knockoffs case because of the fact they were a one time only event exclusive deal and are still in high demand. The figures from this set being mass produced set exclusives instead of something that's actually super rare like the SDCC ones make them a lot more painful in a different way. You know the real ones are out there, it's just almost all the figures on the market are being hoarded by a select few sellers who are also squatting on the fakes without even knowing half the time.
Another example of the "mass produced but treated the same as a one time deal" thing is the Rock raiders chief minifigure of all things. unlike the others I don't think it's got too many knockoffs. It's gotten so bad with that one theres' like just 4 or 5 sellers online that are just constantly stocked with "1" of the figure but just so happen to get another for a much higher price each time they sell one. I still have mine from back in the day but I've got enough of a weird attachment to it I'm not willing to sell it off to someone that's probably one of those 4 or 5 scalpers for any price lmao.
I swear one day people are just gonna find a storage unit full of all these currently grossly inflated lego parts after they run out of people willing to pay so much for used minifigs. I say "lego parts" because this phenomena is hitting lego stuff across the board and kinda making it harder to find some certain parts online for a sane price unless you buy used bulk lots and get lucky.
Epic video, LOVE this
If you have the box and instructions you could probably get around £50 without the box id say around £35 :)
@@RobrickLego I have the instruction only, why is the box so important? I dont get it xD
The box is there to protect what is inside, and I certainly will not keep the boxes to take up all my space in the cellar, wine need the space more lol
legendary unboxing prolly hurt ur soul a lil bit loll 😂
Best Lego UA-camr
Gucci legs! 😂😂😂
I don't really get why opening a lego set decreases it's value. The box is literally carton, nothing special! And even if I build it, it shouldn't decrease it even more...
very cool video
this man really opened this just for a video (correction a perfect video)
0:29 I wish my dad would come back from getting milk at the store :(
You're my favorite yellow knight
I’d say it stoped being “brand new” the second you flipped open that box lid.
I can imagine that you were gutted to find that theres a misprint on bobas helmet
i wanted to go travel somewhere till i saw it costs thousands and i have to much lego to buy, google images of Paris will have to do XD
This video is BASED
At least you have a 2000$ minifigure
When I was a child, the set cost 1k new and I thought that was extreme xD
Dude why oh no you just rekt lukes death and now Darth Vader has him in a milk 0:29
I knew you wouldn't destroy it, but I thought, I don't know, that you would put pieces in wrong positions, or putting in pieces from other themes, like Castle or Pirates just because why not... I didn't expected at all that you will simply do the worst of the worst of the WORST...!
To... OPEN IT!
XD XD XD XD XD XD XD XD That's not ruined, that's well used, "well played" (given that LEGO comes from the Danish "Play well") XD XD
When I was 7 I traded a Luke and the light up Mace Windu for the Cloud City Boba Fett. Best deal Ive ever made
Jesus you got so lucky with that one!
@@RobrickLego I think I may have traded a Hot Wheels car too, I didnt realize the Boba Fetts were worth so much.
This title and thumbnail scares me!!!
😨
You can clap with one hand
I don’t know how to feel about this.
How much did you end up paying for it?
After import tax i think i paid about £1800
@@RobrickLego that’s a really good price how long ago was that?
I actually don't care that you opened it, I would probably do the same tbh
Memes
ok
You really might be rich
I wish, its more like i live a goblin to have more spending money 😅
@@RobrickLego well, if it makes you happy
Why not sell it and buy an opened one?
Not a bad idea! It might sound weird but i grew really attached to this one though, when i bought it me and my wife rented a flat and she said i was only allowed to open it when we get our own place seeing as its so expensive and we didn't want anything to get lost during the move so it's got a lot of sentimental value :)
@@RobrickLego aw that's cute, enjoy the set :)
