What's with all these comments with people bitching about the price?
Lego puts out the Death Star, a feature build on a licensed property, charges 800$ for 5000 pcs.
How is 300$ for 3500 pcs to build Castle Greyskull a problem?
And by the way, Mega Construx doesn't use stickers.
Not that I don't enjoy Lego as much as I do Mega, but it's beyond time building block hobbyists stop slamming Mega Construx and begin appreciating the brand for what it is. The only viable alternative to Lego and the only brand that could push Lego into being innovative again.
I couldn't have said it better myself friend :)
Agree.
I just received an order from Entertainment Earth and found the Castle Greyskull set listed at 250$ in their catalog. 300$ must be in Canadian dollars. Using the Lego Darth Vader's Castle set for a closer comparison, I calculated the piece cost.
Vader's Castle, at 130$ for 1060 pcs works out to 12 cents American per pc.
Castle Greyskull, at 250$ for 3508 pcs works out to 7 cents American per pc.
I suppose the extra 5 cents per pc is to pay for all the stickers Lego will include.
Myself, I'll be picking up both sets, but next year may have to make some choices when Mega starts releasing sets under the Game of Thrones license I heard they picked up.
my bitching is I've never been able to find it in Canada :-(
Lego actually puts out quality product. That's why
MOTU stuff is always so nice to look at. All these colours and fantastic characters.
This is no exception
Agreed sir
I wish Mega Construx would just launch a full MOTU line instead of trickling down characters through the Heroes line like they are doing right now.
100%.
They're doing it next year. They have plans to ditch the Heroes line and do a full on MOTU figure line.
As a LEGO Fan and born in time He-Man coming up, i Love it . Its Great build. Cool Details und really good Figures. Im not a great He-man Fan ( i only owned 2 Figures in childhood) but this is a needfull thing.
Mega is a really good alternative to Lego . I own the ST Anniversary Sets and there are great . Expecially the Box Design far better than Lego. Thats UCS Feeling to me .
And the Price ....damn good .
I hope Mega Construx continues to go strong and get more sets out not just for Heman but other licenses too because they really have potential to be amazing.
the Mini Figures alone are perfect.
MC is great, but hands break easily, they need to improve minifigures structure and/or plastic
Finally the gate is big enough for He-Man to ride through on Battle-Cat... if they ever do a Battle-Cat figure.
In the future probably
@@gapelle7867 "in the future, probably"... thats a solid bet, as there isn't presently one, and none was produced in the past :-p
FYI there is a Roton vs Battle Cat coming out next year.
Now there is a Battle Cat and Panthor.
Greetings from the future. We have the Battlecat and Panthor Mega Construx toys. But it they are really difficult to purchase at their shelf price. Scalpers and hoarders got a hold of them really fast.
@@darthgiggity7948 So should I consider myself lucky that I found a flocked Skeletor Panther from Mega Construx at ToysRUs a few days ago?
I am absolutely floored by the quality of this product. THey went above and beyond and paid attention to every small detail. It's worth every penny if you ask me! Great review as always Pixel Dan!
They started rocky, I had Halo construx sets and they always, ALWAYS missed a small amount of bricks. And the bricks were loose.
But the recent small MOTU sets were complete (thank god) and the pieces stick together better now.
holy batman!!!!! this is one of the masterpiece mega construx set
I build scale models as a hobby, but I have just realized that Construx(1980s Version) was my first model building experience. Oh and Air Raiders also. I will post videos of my collections in coming weeks.
I have the set and love it! I used the extra pieces left over to beef up the stone work.
If only Mega Construx had given Monster High the same amount of love and attention to detail.
Great review! Can't wait to put this one together myself. I'll be grabbing an extra if they ever go down to 60% or less. It's already down to $180 at Wal-Mart.
I got mine. Not disapointed in the very least. Price is ok for building toys. I remember when it was Megablox and the bricks would come loose after a month on display (looking at you, Enterprise D). I'm really looking forward to more models and figures. Snake Mountain is a must!
Thats a most impressive toy made of blocks for building that see in my life. Awesome
Thanks for this video, it's everything I needed!
This was an amazing set to build, took me about 4 days to finish. Displays awesome and just looks fantastic!
I hope Mattel keeps pumping out MOTU. I love this line and will keep buying. My only complaint is they are already doing exclusives that will command scalper prices.
I hope they give us Snake 🐍 Mountain ⛰
@Imran Corey One would need a GF for this sale, sir. No sale.
they have its abou 300
Best play set ever!
Can't wait to get it and do
stop motion!
Zodak approves.
Then Zodak will certainly approve of the prototype Zodak figure shown here: www.megaconstrux.com/en-us/community/forums/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=5281&start=20
That's awesome. just picked up 2 pack Skeletor/Panthor Flocked...this line is awesome.
Awesome review Dan if I had the space and money it would be an instant purchase
I just bought it for $130 on Amazon and it's the most fun Ive had in years.
I just got mine in ! Now that ive seen the Review, i can start Building !!
Just picked mine up from Think Geek in Tulsa today. I told the guy "I'm the only person with a Castle Grayskull." He was like "yeah, it's our only one." Then I kinda laughed and said "yeah, that He-Man guy is here."
I purchased this playset yesterday! Thank you for this video!
Bernhard Alberer dann dürfte dir auch das Set „Battle cat vs Roton“ gefallen 🤗 ua-cam.com/video/Ob82--SVmAM/v-deo.html
Mega Construx MOTU most wanted:
* Evil Horde Slime Pit
* Evil Horde Fright Zone
* Snake Mountain
* Point Dread with the Talon Fighter
She-Ra, the Rebellion, the Horde, the Snake Men. It just isn't MOTU for me without them...
Looks great!!! I will get this for sure!!
I'm currently building this (only the last section left) and it's such a great set! If Mega Construx comes out with more MOTU stuff at this quality level, they'll have a fan for life :-)
Very cool! Fantastic! Mattel, brings this playset to Brazil, please!
I wanna find that, also thank you PixleDan for getting me hooked up on Masters of the Universe, if I find this set and reveiw it I wanna give you a shout out, you are amazing
I hope they do a talon fighter and point dread to go with this
July 2020，you can get it
OK, WOW! Finally finished my copy of the castle and I am not disapointed! So many cool features and loads of fun to build. Only thing is: what to do with all the extra pieces I have? I know what you're thinking, "are you sure you built it right?" and yep, I did.
I guess I could make some field works or maybe just some random terrain...
I'm glad you got yours. I'm still being jacked around with my preorder
Me too. Let me guess Gamestop?
@@Richierich43615 Yeah. The store called me yesterday and told me that they were looking into whats going on. Hopefully I get my Castle before I get Scarglow and Stratos lol
@@christopherbevard1333 my gamestop app lost my pre order, But the stores computer says it's still there. AND their computer doesn't show any it transit.
@@Richierich43615 yeah. Their app is crap. I was told that this happens alot with collectibles
It's really an amazing set, I wish I had it
Awesome!
As a long time LEGO fan I love the mega con mini figure and building components with very few exceptions. Which over time has gotten increasingly better since the assassins creed line
Very cool. Makes me wish I was a kid again 😀
Can’t wait to put this together
Amazing!
Top vídeo Pixel Dan!!!
Hi Pixel!! I realy love this set. I am one of the designers of this set, it was a pretty fun project to design.
"skolls and scolpts" the pronunciations are inherently Dan! - loved the review, the hidden door with hinges was really cool.
I just bought mine a week ago. It showed up yesterday. I got it on Mattel Creations 33% off. Surprisingly it came in the Vintage box and not the updated Mega blue logo.
I just got mine and looks good.
Probably the only CG I can afford
Awsome Action Figure review
I didn't know you did this one I've got everything but the castle still looking
Thanks a lot Dan, after this vid I was hooked. I ordered mine on Friday from walmart.com for $189.00 and got it the next day, Saturday delivered at my home. I sat there for 15 hours straight and got 'er done. Wind Raider coming today. Awesome vid and I love these kits. Have a great one and can't wait for the 2020 releases. Keep on doin' the vid bud. Build on Brother..... 😎
15 hours straight!?! Must've had some good cocaine?😏
@@rickjames2.0 nope to dope Mr. James LMAO. It brought back memories of Lego building when I was a kid, added to the MOTU imaginary adventures. It was like a big peanut butter and jelly sandwich to a fluffy kid. Yes I was fluffy..... and I had to get it done. LOL, have a great one Rick.
I had no idea this thing even existed. I'm a Lego guy and never paid any attention to Lego alternatives but now I must have it along with all the other MOTU sets.
This is too awesome! I've never cared for legos or building but as someone who owned the orig Grayskull in my childhood this hits my nostalgia buttons for MOTU. How difficult would it be for me to come in fresh & build this thing? Are the instructions pretty clear? The parts separated out sounds good.
I'd have liked seeing more variations on He-Man & Skeletor, like Thunder Punch vs Dragon Blaster or the Battle Armors. Maybe even just brown out the gray straps on He-Man & give Skeletor a cape for a more 200x/MYP style
"The Sorceress, who is exclusive to this set"
And then Panthor at Point Dread came out.
Cool! Great video
this is soooo cool!
Overall brick grip quality has gone up since the first Halo sets from Mattel and the sets I have so far are complete (they weren't in the old Halo days).
Very tempted to get this massive set. High price but about a million pieces so that's acceptable.
How did you get the jaw bridge to work right I can’t get it to stay close
how do u make the drawbridge stay closed at 11:54? other reviews i've seen couldn't get the drawbridge to stay shut
Now they need to release the Talon fighter for it !!
That are
What a great looking Lego set!
Not LEGO. Mega Construx.
I am in the process of building this....good lord, man. Intense.
i have a question my front gate doesn't close i build it just like you but the black handle doesn't hold the drawbrigde closed is there a soluition?
Great Castle Greyskull playset. I wish one day Lego will do He-Man. I'd love to buy a He-Man Lego minifigure.
Looks so cool
My OCD is killing me, you need to press the pieces together better, lots of gaps. Or is it the quality of the bricks themselves? I know Lego rip-offs you press together and they slowly separate over time. Either way my OCD is acting up watching this.
OMG YES! I HAD TO GRAB TWO LEGO 2×4 BRICKS AND JUST KEEP PRESSING THEM TOGETHER IN ORDER TO WATCH THIS VIDEO WITHOUT GETTING TRIGGERED
Quality is high, he just didn't see them together hard enough.
Very cool!
Just wondering if there gonna do a snake mountain as well on mega construx
Ordered it today from Amazon for 160$! I can't wait!
Hey Dan oh, I know you review more than just Masters of the Universe products, but you're my go-to man with the mega construx sets. I'm up to date with all the kits, but I have one question for you seems how you like to interview and review products. Has there been any whispers an Orko minifigure? I know it might be too small to be considered, but Minimates brought out a Twiki with with Buck Rogers line. Just a question, he was my favorite character. Have a great one PD.
That price is crazy but it is a large set with alot of pieces.
I think I need to get one!
Im about four years late, but I just won this set in an auction for the ungodly price of $50.10. I can't wait to start building.
Me encanta este castillo me recuerda mucho mi niñez !!!! Y a mi sobrino le encantó es una maravilla !!!!
Got one yeasterday, here in Brazil, and was amazed to see that it was 300 dollars originally! I paid R$ 450 or USD 88. Was a really good price for this product, and I will join my wife, that is a big Princess of Power fan, has some Classics and is getting all the Masterverse ones, to build it during the weekend. That should be painfuly fun :)
Hey. Where'd you manage to get it for 88 dollars?
Amazing!! Congratulations for the vídeo unboxing!! Greetings from *El Búnker de Recoil*
Man just paid for snake mountain and now we have this to buy🙄 so much for ever saving money 😂👍
Is there a spot specifically designated for the Construx Talon?
Best brick playset ever.
I am 35 years old but I might just buy it, because it's fun to build and reminds me of my childhood.
Then I can display it next to my sideshow MOTU statues.
I'm kind of a Lego snob, but this is a nice looking set and definitely makes me want to check it out! Thanks for the review
Haha yep I'm still kicking, I stop by UA-cam to watch but don't make videos anymore. Always collecting 😊
Awesome i had the original 🤘
Cool
Nice, pal.
Absolutely loving the little tributes to the original mini comics. And the details in the castle are phenomenal too.
Now this is awesome!!!! It cost close to what the classics originally sold for at 300.00 back i they matty collector hey day!
does it scale well with the super 7 3 3/4 inch figures????
No
Waiting for Snake Mountain Mattel! Don't let us wait forever. And what about a original Trapjaw?
Merci 👍
Finally. I was looking for this video everday since the set came out.
Cool review! I was wondering, is the quality similar to Lego?
Thank you
Yes it is
Hey Dan can you please tell me where can i order this on Europe? =) I want this set so bad!!!
Amazon.co.uk has it for example, ordered mine from there :)
I stuck a Destiny figure in the place of the picture of a space suit. Only $166 on Amazon right now!
Only missing the ComicCon Battle bones...help?!
How much? Lol my classics castle greyskull already take up slotbof room I love this line I do have few of these figures
$250 :(
So....where do I order?
Castle Gray Skull looks really cool, but I'll have to wait and see if I can get it on sale. If I do get it though, I might have to do something different with those green bricks... I'm thinking a green bricked sewer-- for the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! I already have a turtle lair built for them, but if they had a sewer to explore just outside the lair, well that would be awesome. Nice review.
I was thinking the same thing for my custom New York city.
I'm not really into MOTU.
When are you going to do a review of the Mega Construx Point Dread?
Just bought mine for $160 on Amazon! I am having the same problem another reviewer is having with keeping the gate closed. Tried watching to see how yours stayed shut so easy... any tips?
Ooh I rly want dat set I gave beast man and he-man stinkore and stuff like dem but that one I need it
Great video. Would you know who designed it? Ive checked around and could not find anything. Its a genius work or AI
Great
I want this
So if you like the mini comics more than the other media buy this set?
