Another really good (and fair) review . I think what could enhance alot of these newer sets would be the re-introduction of corner flags , scoreboard and dare I say it a trophy.
Found a Subbuteo set in parents loft over the weekend so set it up and played a few games with my daughter. Have had the best time. Then ended up down a UA-cam subbuteo rabbit hole and came across your channel. So much nostalgia on here. Great work!
Thanks buddy. But an Alternative? I’m offended. You should have been watching all along lol. Don’t panic, I won’t be moving. My videos will be as free UA-cam let them :-) thanks
@@SubbuteoCollector You're welcome buddy! I agree I should be watching your videos more often ever since TFM moved to Patreon. I don't want to offend you I was searching around on UA-cam that is worth of a replacement for TFM. I will love to collect Subbuteo, build realistic dioramas of stadiums with the right sizes to play Subbuteo matches and maybe some Subbuteo Solo Tournaments, Subbuteo is easy to play but the rules are so complicated, I only can flick for passing and I am so bad for shooting to the goals because my fingers aren't strong enought to shoot for the goal. See you at the next video and keep on flickin' !!! Best regards from Portugal. ;-)
@@1989worms1 Well I was here before TFM and I'll certainly be here a lot longer too.Keep playing and collecting anyway you can new video coming at you very soon
Good review Stew. I think they've missed a trick with this set. They should have put in kits which Maradona played in. BUT! Imagine you're a youngster whose Dad has told him all about how great the game is. You get this set, and find 20 players and two goalkeepers in about nine different kits!!!!! You would be a bit confused, to say the least. Anyhoo, I like your fair review a lot. Good job. Also, many thanks for mentioning the Leicester Foxes Collectors' Fair, coming up on June 11th. Preparations are going really well, and it's going to be a great day. Keep on Flickin'!
@@SubbuteoCollector Hah, if I was being a nause I'd say seeing the Maradona figure on fire... but objectively, as a set... What you mentioned about have several figures of him in kits of all the teams, then having an opposing team that was somewhat contentious (so for Argentina obvs an England team), better quality goal nets!, and to pull it all together a little booklet about Maradona, his achievements, etc. You could even add in a joke figure in a non-playing but iconic pose (picture the Gazza set with that 😬).
Another cracking vid mate, cheers. If I still lived in the UK I think I’d get back into subbuteo. It’d be interesting to know what it is your missing regards your collection. On previous vids I’ve heard you say you’re looking for the Southend team. Anything else? Anything that eludes you? Be cool to share it with your viewers. Keep it up! 👍🏼
Thanks buddy.I've managed to snag a southend team now. Got a couple. I need loads, there is always so much to grab. in my next video I'll be doing a list of the last le leggenda i need.
I'm unable to make the Leicester subbuteo fair this year so I treated myself to this. I'm with you on this Stewart about the goals. Not good & need to improve but how long have you been saying that. The 2nd team should have been another Maradona team or the Argentina away kit. I also think that you have made a great shout out for Pele , Best sets. Even get a Cruyff one.
Alan, some years ago in Spain, Total Soccer did something like that with Sevilla - Betis, R. Madrid - At. Madrid or R. Madrid - Barcelona. It was great!
Another great review mate and I definitely agree with most of what your saying....and it would be nice to see other box sets with legends on but I can't forgive Maradona for the hand of god lol fantastic footballer but sadly a cheat. The set does look great and I actually like the different colour base its a good touch but they have definitely missed a trick not having a different 2nd team just a plain red. Anyways great review as always mate
the spurs set comes with 11 players who cant stay upright on their bases and the number 10 has a black eye and broken jaw , grab em fast as the package is crumbing

They did corner flags in the 75th-anniversary set. That was a nice touch

Fantastic buddy, its a big rabbit, enjoy
Great video as always, Stewart! I am watching your videos as an alternative for TFM since TFM moved to Patreon.

thank buddy and your more than welcome, can't wait for the fair
I really like your videos and analysis. are you going to make a video of maradona editon - Nápoles ?
Yes as soon as I can get it at decent price without importing it from italy
I'm genuinely glad you've got it for the collection... but I'm defo in the 'not for me' camp 🙂
What would make you want it?

England fan but you still have to admire Diego, one of the greatest of all time. Box set just looks like a quick cash in with minimal effort.
Yeah not a lot of English fans like him tho
Does it come with a pound of coke and the number 10 have one big hand ?
Own hand required flicking purposes only lol
@@SubbuteoCollector yeah flicking the ball into the back of the net !!! oh i mean "header"
existen con metal?
Metal? Goals or playes?
@@SubbuteoCollector los muñequitos para mayor durabilidad y fuerza de golpe

Can’t beat the solid steel goals tbh
but saying that the ones they supply are always for beginners obviously!
Very much for beginners, but they still improve

Fingers crossed we get some similar sets
Currently available online, 2nd December 2023, for 22 quid.
Postage is extra.
Bargain
@@SubbuteoCollector Maradona - Napoli box set currently available on there. 40 quid.
How about a Celtic and Ranger's box set or other derby games around the world ?
Alan, some years ago in Spain, Total Soccer did something like that with Sevilla - Betis, R. Madrid - At. Madrid or R. Madrid - Barcelona. It was great!
Cracking idea
Your right, they did, and Zeugo did a Milan Derby version too
They’ve made Maradona look like a funk soul brother 😂
Funk soul brother lol
YEah it's shame they have a base player model

Thanks pals Yeah rivals and away kits would be so easy to do
mamma mia, que grande!!!!
Really big / Veramente grande
the spurs set comes with 11 players who cant stay upright on their bases and the number 10 has a black eye and broken jaw , grab em fast as the package is crumbing
With realistic no trophy
They need to sort out those awful goals and nets for a start.
Starting to think it'll never happen
Been saying for ages that the box artwork is better than the contents
and that it is
👍🏻👍🏻⚽️⚽️⚽️🇦🇷🇦🇷🇦🇷
:-)
Could've been better. Videos on different player types etc would be good... as long as you don't hide it behind a paywall later on 😏
We all know that isn’t happening here
Charlie George, now your talking
I'd buy it
I find cool. Dont like the goals though
Easy fix the goals
horrible version
It's got its good points
It's like subbuteo has lost its soul , sorry love the show
Thanks for the slow love :-)
