    I love your honesty. As a BTS fan (ARMY since MOTS era), I agree with you that this is a set for ARMY and not for Lego fans. I also agree that this is the type of IDEAs set that will help Lego reach out to more people and ultimately have a big benefit to the hobby. As an AFOL, the price is not ideal and the building techniques are simple. However, I will be getting a couple of sets if I can with the aim of building a light up disco floor that looks like the one in the music video.

    First bit of research I've seen anybody put into a review of this set. Props. I'm okay with this being a more reach out to others set than specifically most Lego fans as it introduces a different demographic to Lego, and it's one I don't have to consider budgeting for this year. Win/Win.

    7:00 as much as I love the current LEGO ideas models, this brings up a perfect point of focusing the ideas sets as a way to intrude the hobby to non-LEGO fans. Look how quick the Office sold out compared to other LEGO ideas sets, I won't be surprised if the BTS set is the highest selling set of the year, mainly from the volume of the fan base.

    It is very refreshing to get a review not just nagging on BTS or their fandom, with someone being objective about the brick number, usage, features and price while still reiterating how someone else might enjoy even thought you might not be picking it up for yourself. I am a big bts and lego fan and I personally love these two worlds colliding but I understand its not for everyone and to each their own!

    Your review is spot on, I am 60 years old and haven’t played with Legos ever, not my kind of toy, but....... I am a BTS fan and ordered this the day it came out! I am on backorder, so I think you were correct in saying it will introduce millions of BTS fans to Legos. When I was ordering it, I browsed their catalog and if I like the BTS build, I may buy some other ones that attracted my eye.

      It was really a missed opportunity!

Although this set is for a niche market, I am glad that LEGO gave it a go! I am also very glad and quite honestly surprised at the amount of research you did about BTS and Dynamite.

And as an ARMY, I'm really happy for and proud of the designers, Josh and Jacob, for this set, so it's great whenever I see them get their credits.

    As both an extremely dedicated army and an extremely dedicated AFOL, I really appreciated your approach to this review….thank you for being both respectful to BTS for the armies as well as honest about the set for the Lego fans. Given my combo of interests, there was absolutely no question that I was going to buy this despite it being overpriced and while it certainly wasn’t the most technically interesting build I’ve ever done, it was definitely one of the most joyful given the details included in the set. And I totally agree that there are now going to be thousands of non-Lego fans doing their first ever build as a result of this set which absolutely makes it a brilliant move for Lego as a company.
    (And for those watching this who are unfamiliar with BTS, I can almost guarantee that they are not what you think they are. Sure, songs like Dynamite and Butter are fun bubblegum pop made in English to appeal to American radio. But if you look at literally anything else from their ten-year career and 300-song discography, you will find real art. They have entirely transcended the boyband label. Please take it from me, a 45-year-old serious music fan…they are worth your time.)

    I’m not embarrassed to admit that this set will be displayed along some of my bigger 4k+ piece sets. It’s a very small and simple set, but with what BTS has meant to me and millions of other people I think they deserve the spot. I am mad at myself for forgetting the release date and having to buy the set from a reseller though and having only bought one set. Usually I buy one set to build and one to save, but these price gauging scalpers aren’t getting my money twice.

As a BTS ARMY I really loved seeing you break down what all was included in the set. This is definetly made for ARMY the details are fantastic and seeing their records in the record shop made me want to buy this. Between the minifigs, the attention to detail regarding the MV plus the albums ft in the record shop I am leaning toward purchasing it now! The price may be a little steep for what you actually get, but Lego and BTS are the only areas I allow myself to splurge so I think it will be worth it to pick one up!

I'm visually impaired and don't have a lot of luck trying to place stickers, get them aligned, and so forth. I was originally planning to purchase this set because I thought all I had to do was snap the pieces together, but honestly will probably pass on it now.

Even knowing that the price point was horrible? Of course I did, because I buy anything BTS related and I really wanted the 7 figurines. Was I surprised that the set was already on back order when I logged into my VIP account just minutes after it's release? Of course I wasn't because ARMY sells out anything with BTS on it. This set is out here to reach the millions of fans who will potentially become Lego fans because of this set. Great review, and I also appreciate all the research you did on the band members and the Dynamite MV.

    Excellent review! I still haven’t watched the actual music video- so, I don’t know what any of these locations really represent-but thanks to your excellent editing skills- I get it now! Lol. The hair, faces, and torsos have been done well- and omg that sticker from the official release photos from TLG killed me! I’m awful with stickers but even I would have fixed that craziness lol. You are 100% correct- this is a lego set for BTS fans- likely it will do extremely well, and if it doesn’t & ends up going on sale or there’s a double VIP promo, it’s a decent parts pack in my eyes. All in all, for the original designer’s benefit, I hope it does well- I’ll be shocked if it doesn’t. Could things have been done better? Absolutely. The price is awful, however- most lego sets these days are. I truly appreciate your ability to point out tons of details, your honesty, editing, overall opinion, all in such a very short & concise video! Good point on the whole “lego Ideas” explanation.. however, I feel like we typically see a lot of the “beautifully designed Lego models that will be changed in the final design anyways” 😂. I hope you are enjoying this week with your family! Thank you for all of your hard work, as always!

    My only issue with this set existing is that Lego does not have a "Pop Culture" category and instead uses the Ideas line. I think if Ideas can't survive without big name sets like this, they should just remove it. But we definitely need a pop culture line for this kind of stuff going forward.

    • @TiagoCatarino
      @TiagoCatarino  Рік тому +11

      I would disagree. They've been trying their hand at pop culture with LEGO Art sets. They did the Wharhol set, The beattles, Rolling stones and probably a few more. They're doing just fine with the assortment they've been pushing, this was just a tad different from the usual stuff to test the waters I think.
      If successful we can expect to see a lot more of this. Like the sitcom sets... Enough of those already 😅

    • @RoscoeWasHere
      @RoscoeWasHere Рік тому +5

      ​@@TiagoCatarino Well I think my point is that Ideas feels more like "insert popular thing here" instead of original ideas not based on pop culture. Which is why a line dedicated to stuff like movies, music, art, TV shows, etc.. could be insanely popular.
      I mean, they rebranded a TON of stuff into Icons, so... what about that? It feels like they could get a lot more focused instead of splitting so many sets like this into multiple categories.

    ARMY here! 💜 You hit the nail on the head with your comments on how this set is good for LEGO even if it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. Me personally, I’ve NEVER touched a LEGO set. I always was intimidated by them, but as an ARMY I figured I’d give it a go. I have had so much fun putting this set together, and I love the cute details they threw in just for the fans. The stage is an especially cool feature.
    In fact, I’ve had so much fun with this that I might start completing other LEGO sets. Never thought I’d even consider that before!

    I’m assuming that you’re probably not an Army, but you truly did you your homework well on both BTS and the Lego set with very specific details and accurate descriptions.

    I got into BTS because of this song which I initially thought was by Bruno Mars! This music video isn’t my favourite of theirs. (They performance of Dynamite in a US TV show I forgot which, was much better). But it is iconic for its place in the history of 21st century pop and in my own life. Haven’t touched Lego in over 40 years so I am happy that this is on the “simpler” side (compared to the 1970s these are definitely more “complex”). Thanks for the review!

    As an Army from Dynamite and a broke Lego fan, I agree with you. this set isn't for Lego fans, WHY IS THIS HELLA EXPENSIVE???? but it's a great idea! BTS are easily the easiest promotion causes and I understand with my soul why they're so popular. thanks for your research! not many people do that :)
    I'm just saying, you can't love them that easily just by listening to a few of their songs. it's easy to like BTS but loving them is an entirely different thing. I'm saying this for all the silently irked Armies out there.
    This Lego set is for Armies, And I think Lego did a great job in making these. The accuracy is super spectacular! I love the design of the manual book and the box, AIGHT TIME TO SAY BYEBYE TO MY WALLET

    This was the first video of yours I watched and I really liked the way you explained your point of view, also the honesty! I’m not a Lego fan (just an Army) and I truly understood why you think it’s a “bad” Lego set, the points were definitely valid. I, myself, found some things that could be changed in order to make it better, for example something as simple as the mic colors which have a lot of meaning. Totally agree when you say that this was a product made for ARMY but at the end of the day Lego is just a company and companies have to know how to make money. And right now it’s pretty clear that we’ll buy about anything with bts’ name on it (guilty)

    I'm one of those ARMY who hasn't touch a LEGO set in years. Last one was around seven years ago when my now teenager son filled the house with domino rally tracks made out of bricks among other things and needed "mom's help" to achieve some of his most outrageous ideas. And my last build for myself was Frodo and Gandalf cart for LOTR. I hope I can get my hands on this set, but I can't find any store shipping to Argentina. If any LEGO fan can give me some hints I'll be thankful!

    My husband and children love lego and I am army to the bone. I agree the price point is terrible given the number of pieces (as someone who has many many lego in her home this was pricey for what it was). I actually almost passed on getting the set as I didn’t see anything special about it (my bias in Rm and his look isn’t my favorite here) but after seeing the album details and the stage details I was sold. My husband helped me secure a set (and he gladly racked up more vip points) and I’m excited to start my build. I do wish that the pieces were printed versus just stickers but 🤷🏽‍♀️. It is very clearly a lego set for bts fans not for avid lego collectors. That being said army sold it out the day of the release 🤣 the power of army is real

    It is good that the reaction is sincere. I understand that for the LEGO fans this may be too simple and some of them can see it unfair that the set was chosen thanks to the power of ARMY. I have been buying LEGO for several years for my daughter, always scolding her that we have no more space to display it, the bricks are everywhere and stepping on it really hurts. And now I have bought my first own LEGO set just because as ARMY I love BTS, the set is cute and I can play with my daughter together. Is it overpriced? Yes, like most of BTS merch and LEGO things. But still it was kind of healing to build it and it looks great next to the other BTS merch. I am glad I have it :-)

    as an army, when i saw the announcement for the dynamite lego set on lego's official ig, I was quite surprised. i could recognise what this set's aim was though: to reach the many many bts fans who would be willing to pay for official bts "merch", because they are collectors, and that's what collectors do. i also used to play with legos a lot as a child, and while it's unfortunately true that I haven't done so in years, I can recognise that, for a passionate lego fan, this is a pretty bad piece. it is not made for the sake of the building process and the fun that brings, but for the pure fact that it is about bts. it's for fans of bts, not for fans of lego. it's far from complicated, and that immediately takes the joy out for someone who loves the building aspect.
    that said, I wanna say that I most certainly do not fuck with the people in the comments of that announcement post, who felt the need to trash bts in every way they could possibly think of, just because lego made a product about them that they couldn't enjoy. newsflash my guy, you don't have to like and buy every lego product that comes out. you can skip one. it's okay, I promise. it obviously wasn't made for you, so let the people it was made for enjoy it in their own way. a lot of them lego stans were plain-out xenophobic & racist too, which is definetely not a good look for your community lmao.
    all in all, I agree with this video. frankly, I think bts deserved way better than this set. these guys have songs that are infinently more intriguing than dynamite, both in lyrics and production, as well as MV-wise. but that's their fun little english song with the billion views, so yeah. it's no surprise lego would choose this one and make it as simplistic as it is. this is not in any way a problem of bts, and the people that make it one are fucking idiotic. just let fans have this one and go on with your day like a normal person would do.
