Thank you LEGO for sending this set for review. Views and opinions are my own.
#lego
Yay or Nay?
Yay?
Meh
Definitely yay thanks a lot for this vid
@@zaidiatoranimation3947 meh
The movie was yay but the sets are rather meh
Don't actually mind the reef builds, they're good for setting the scene and work well as display stands, they can also be used with a lot of other lego themes especially all the city ocean exploration stuff
I actually would have loved some of those reef builds in Aqua Raiders or Atlantis. The reefs are great!
And I mean is it really a surprise since the whole movie is set in a reef… like what else would they put in it
@@ashleyroberts2294 I know right
I loved all of the reef bits; I thought they really helped add atmosphere
I think the reason Spider uses the 1 1/2 legs is that he’s shorter than the Na’vi in the film, shorter than the teenagers who use the 2 legs to make them shorter than the adults with the 3, so maybe he wouldn’t have to use the 1 1/2 legs if there was a 2 1/2 option but Lego probably doesn’t want to open that can of worms
Those 2 1/2 legs would be fascinating. It would make it possible for Lego to make semi realistic NBA players compared to normal figs
hes also still a teenager, i think.
@Harold Paulle new leg molds, potentially new arm molds, etc etc
I think this is a great choice for Spider but my issue is with Tuk who looks way too tall in Lego form to me compared to the other minifigs
Lego has been with the same figures for decades, I understand that these figures and their shape are iconic to the brand, it was a miracle that they made molds for figures like Darth Maul or the Tusken Raider.
But its the last straw that for some things or even weapons they reuse the same mold for years.
Look at Mega Construx, I swear they would have done something like the Hunters in the case of the Na'vi and they could have been awesome.
Avatar is probably my favorite Lego theme at the moment. Obviously I like the films but they just strike such a perfect balance between a play set and a display set. The side builds double as stands so there's almost no 'wasted' pieces if you want to display the main build like with a lot of other sets. But there's also a lot of figures and playability (swooshable)
Agreed I love the sets
True I'm going to get them all
I appreciate all the reef builds for how many new colour/piece combinations we've got. Whilst teal bananas aren't something I in particular was clamouring for, you just know there's someone out there whose build has finally been completed by it.
This. You never know when NPU can make or break a build. I follow a lot of contests that use one specific piece, and I can already envision all sorts of unique and eye-catching ways of using these bananas. Plus, they remind me of Donkey Kong 64, and I'd love a DK line featuring all five Kongs and bananas in their respective colors (DK yellow, Diddy red, Lanky blue, Tiny purple, Chunky green).
With LEGO already doing so many Mario sets, we might eventually see Donkey Kong, Legend of Zelda, Kirby, Metroid, etc. Think of how much money they'd make if they came out with highly playable Super Smash Bros themed sets with collectible minifigs.
The sets might be pricy or have not very interesting side builds but they are REALLY acuarette ti the movie in my opinion.
They are and I did point that out! Great job by the designers!
Ya I have watched the movie and I got to say it’s quite accurate to the movie
Fscts
They'll get reduced on Amazon when the summer ir winter waves are set to be released.
Yeah but i think the Submarine really should've gotten it's own windscreen piece, but i will probably customice that myself.
I think the reef builds/terrain builds in the Avatar sets are super important, a huge part of the movies' impact is how breathtaking Pandora is. If this were any other line they would feel super filler-y but Pandora's ecosystem is too foundational to the IP for the Lego theme to skip.
Just wanted to say that I really appreciate all the work that goes into these full wave reviews! I find it very useful being able to compare sets to each other like this, and your set reviews are always very high quality.
Its this kind of feedback that keeps me going and trying to do better every time. Thank you!
These definitely seem more like the kinds of sets young adults like myself would purchase for display. I’m really tempted to buy these cuz I loved the movie so much
Same here!
Luckily they're relatively cheap nowadays, except maybe the sub. Picked up payakan for 60€ just the other day, the others seem about as well discounted, though that is probably somewhat more the case in the EU
I personally think the volume/weight & size of the plastic are better price indicator than price per piece ratio.
YES I did this with a buddy not too long ago and we found that weighing it gives a WAY more accurate weight/piece ratio than piece. And we found Legos pricing is pretty consistent with only a few exceptions
Exactly. There's more to it including printing pieces and specialized molds --especially very large ones like the Tulkun has.
That is by far the stupidest statement I’ve heard all day
@@clonedflamingo6723 why?
@@shadowlaughers101 Plastic Lego uses is ultra cheap.
I honestly don’t mind these sets don’t really have a lot of playability. As a 25 year old, I just love to display really nice sets and these look all amazing for that!! Nice video btw 😊
I used to play with Lego a lot as a kid. Now I have a kid of my own and he's just starting to get into Lego. We just got him his first Duplo sets, from the Jurassic World collection. He loves dinosaurs and it made him so happy. I also recently saw The Way of Water in theatres. My algorithm must be picking up on these things because I've never watched a Lego review on UA-cam until this one came in my recommendations. And I must say, this is a great review! It's thorough yet concise, and contains information that both hardcore Lego collectors and casual fans will find informative and useful. I give your review an A+.
I'm one of the people who bought the Reef Home. I liked the way it looked and Kiri was My favourite character in the movie and I just had to respect that too. I also really like how it gives you the chance to simulate someone swimming underwater while the others are in the home.
I do not comment often on UA-cam videos and I have nothing to add to the topic (because everything is already said in the video), but I just wanted to thank you for making refreshingly relaxed, un-shouty videos which have a perfect byte-size length and are always narrated without any trace of a mean spirit. Quite different from a lot of other channels here on YT. For these reasons you are one the the very few youtubers I watch literally every video of.
Please comment more. It lifts my spirits up :)
I like that Tiago Is doing waves of sets for review and not just one at a time.
It's a lot of work though so be sure to drop a like!
@@TiagoCatarino will do
I just started watching LEGO review videos a few months ago, but yours are the only ones I've consistently returned to. You're knowledgeable, trustworthy, and more entertaining than the others out there. I only started getting into LEGO as an adult (the first movie was my gateway drug LOL) but you've expanded my view outside the usual City sets I buy. I also just finished watching Season 3 of LEGO Masters (US) and think you'd make a great judge on that show. Thank you for your hard work!
Wow thank you for this man! :) It means a lot!
He also designed the ship in a bottle while working at Lego (working from a fan idea). It's one of the best sets of all time. Step 59... so good.
@@bugsbycarlinagreed. Filling the stuts in the bottle is just… chefs kiss
Check out Jangbricks :D I watch both as I love their different ways!
I like the reef builds, I think they add a lot of interest to the sets without being prohibitively part intensive. The builds are all very movie accurate, so sales of these will most likely depend on the movie being a success. I wasn't interested in either of the Avatar movie waves so far, but just watched both recently and am at least a little more interested. If they go on sale then even better for my wallet. Lately Lego seems to be following a policy of releasing at a high price to test interest, then discount 10-20% to help sales so we'll see.
Yes. It seems that they follow the psychological warfare seen in clothing industry - sell for the intended price, but slap in on a sales sticker whilst inflating the “original” price, to make customers feel as if they get value.
It works
I love how honest you are in your reviews. Videos like this go a long way to build trust with audiences.
yeah people love a shit talker don’t they
6:54 oh no dead fish xD
I think all these sets are great looking, especially because of the stands which hugely benefit those who'll just display them, but these should all be like 20% cheaper.
The biggest is only 100, and most are around 30. That's not bad.
Yes please do more of these full wave reviews! :)
What theme?
Marvel
For a theme known for its conflict there's not much RDA personel. LEGO seems to avoid making a ton of humans for these sets and instead of giving Jake a basic LEGO gun they give him a crossbow. Like there's a total of now 3 RDA in both Avatar waves. They're atleast giving us a ton of wildlife and Na'vi.
Anyways love the crabsuit and the Mako sub could be a bit better at closing those gaps.
hasn't lego said that they dont want to make military stuff?
Why can't they just make a simple AMP suit set for under 10$? Those would sell like hotcakes.
@@arrun5125 That was the first thing I had in mind.
@@arrun5125 but they have Star WARS license lol. But yeah, RDA is specifically a US Marine related, so I can understand that.
@@GamingMafia_id star wars is acceptable because it's not realistic at all (lasers, etc). As you say, the RDA guys in avatar are essentially modern day military guys.
I actually really like these. For this price I probably won't get them, but they do their job well. I feel like these are pretty well balanced between being playsets and sets for collectors. And you cannot not like the colors of the reef areas
Full wave vids are great sir! I appreciate your views and opinions.
I appreciate that!
i love the skimwing sm dude,its soooo accurate to the movie its insane
I will now be waiting to purchase these when they go on sale.
My favorite part of the Avatar line is how unique the sets look. They're incredibly detailed and really stand out in a nice way from my other Lego sets. I love how the nature builds make the world look alien instead of just like Earth nature.
These LEGO sets are brought to you by our sponsors "Reef Builds." When you need to build a reef, look no further than the new LEGO Avatar sets!
Right?! 😂
I just saw the new movie yesterday (also since avatar was first announce to get sets I want a UCS style Samson gun ship (with the blue paint form the fight scene in the first movie)
Love this theme
Spider and Quaritch are my must have minifigures from this wave.
Pun not intended.
As someone who watched the movie, they really could have gotten a lot more out of it, if they did more of the human ships and such. One of the helicopters or the massive ship would both have been great kits imho, and would allow for some cool figures of the *other* Navis in the movie
The whaling ship would be huge
id love to see one of those new helicopters that got unceremoniously shot down like three times but looked badass in the 30 seconds of screentime they got
The helicopter are in from the first movie and is in the first set of Legos that came out that was based in the first movie
I am actually surprised by your somehow honest opinion on the pricing of those sets. Personally I would love to see more playsets rather then buildable animals, like 75573 we had in a previous wave, but I really like those minifigures and might just get them loose.
I love this form of review where you cover the whole wave of sets. !great job Tiago
They look so good!
creatures in lego are always good for kids, they are like big customizable dolls
The payakan look amazing
I loooove the reef bits!!Since I don’t want the pieces that only fit within the avatar theme I can’t justify buying the whole sets for those prices, but i’ll definitely be keeping an eye out for parted out pieces and pick-a-brick options!
you speak very fluently and very well, this is a very well edited and well handled. 10/10
While these sets do have their flaws like you mentioned, as a whole this wave is really strong and I love the use of funky colours. Cant wait to get them all to see the figs in person and build a world!
7:19 I just find this scene hilarious, cooking a fish on the end of a handgun like this. Overall this wave seems a lot better & more interesting than the 1st wave as I actually want to get the Submarine set & the ilu discovery. That whale is pretty cool though, I might get that at some point. I just like coral reefs better & actually have some other underwater sets that would fit with this environment better like the water dragon from Ninjago, the turtle like Dragon of the East from Monkey Kid, & this oil rig set from Ultra Agents as well as some of my Atlantis sets.
🤣🤣🤣
Series idea for Tiago: (day 16)
Tiago should make a subreddit where people can post Mocs that he reviews and gives feedback monthly/weekly. It’s going to be good for both the fans who are looking to improve and will probably take Tiago less time to make.
I see you! I don't think there would be a lot of general interest in videos like that. In the grand scheme of things nobody knows who I am.
I would probably hurt people's feelings as well as I usually don't hold back on feedback so I don't know man... I don't see it happening
I would enjoy it
@@TiagoCatarino yeah you’re probably right. I just wanted you to see it and tell me your thoughts and I’m glad I got them even over 2 months later.
There are of course many cons but *you could try it once as a 500k subscriber special.* I don’t see it being a permanent series either but there definitely seem to be some people who would like to see it so *I’d suggest making a poll to see if people would want it as a 500k special*
@@TiagoCatarino how about only allowing it to your subscribers/followers? They would all know how your feedback can be, so no feelings should be hurt
@@Tarennys yeah
I’m not expecting it to happen but I would love an 18+ set based on Avatar. As a 23 year old I’m getting back into LEGO after being obsessed with it as a kid. Naturally I am most interested in the adult sets and want to support everything about the Avatar franchise.
Very nice review Tiago! Love to see one or two of these wave reviews every year. Very informative! The theme doesn't appeal to me so i'll pass on this one (as a bonus, it will save me a lot of cash). Cheers!!
I love the movies and love the game but was eh on the sets at first , after watching your two review videos they are now my obsession lmaoo
Love this full wave reviews❤
Please do more!!
I am loving these full wave reveiws!
I love seeing the non standard lego parts, thin plastic panels are useful for specific designs
I love lego's creature builds
I think the short bendable legs on the human are to make the other figures seem even bigger
what a detail review
i love this full detail review
It's true that the prices are absurd, but these are some of the most gorgeous and displayable LEGO sets ever! The only real problem with playability is that LEGO didn't include more "bad guys" vehicles, like the harpoon boats, the Sea Dragon ship, or the Sea Wasp rotorcraft.
Best reviews my guy
Best subscribers
I swear my biggest pet peeve with lego is when space ships or aquatic vehicles aren’t properly sealed
RIGHT?!
I hope these go on sale allowing you to make a full reef-bed. Those pieces are the best parts of the sets!
I think what those sets are all about is, getting some piece for presentation on a shelf. That is why the reefs are key. I am not so sure about the reef home though. Doesn't really look all that impressive. But the animals sets should work for those inclined towards an Avatar Lego model. If they are ready to shelf out those prices? Maybe for the smaller sets.
The biggest difference between Lego when I was a kid and Lego now seems to be that back then, the sets were unique themes that were all about encouraging your own creativity and play, but now, they're all heavily pre-designed sellout franchise themes that just encourages you to simulate whatever pop culture franchise they're based on. A really sad development.
Im actually quit surprised on how much I liked the movie and now the sets. Love the colors and the display ability. I like the smallest one best as they really captured the creatures look imo. If Im finding a great deal on it Im gonna buy it :)
Im loving this new series review format
I really like these. Might have to grab some extras for the future.
Can never afford these kits, so I'm glad to see them completely in this video. Keep it up man!
More to come!
If Payakan ever goes on sale for like 10-15 dollars off I might get it. It's one of my favorites in the entire Avatar theme.
this is such a good video and you are so good at what youre doing 👍🏻👍🏻
These creatures and vehicles must have so much subnaitica inspiration
Really love the full wave reviews keep them coming ❤️
The arms and legs of the tall avatar characters are a re-use of Lego's old Toy Story 1, 2 and 3 molds used on Woodie and Jessie respectively.
This guys accent is literally the best part of this video
These are actually pretty beautiful kits.
The fact that the only set that is close to being reasonably priced is an exclusive shows to me that lego doesn't actually expect customers to buy at full price.
I really like that they made it for displaying and not playing I really want to collect them all for display
I just picked up Payakan the Tulkun & Crabsuit, Ilu Discovery and the Neytiri & Thanator vs. AMP Suit Quaritch for the double VIP point day. Can’t wait to build these.
One of thoses sets have the perfect wings to make a Mothra.
I hope they make new sets when Avatar 3 comes out in 2024
Aonung's hair is what they should have used for Tsu'tey!
Thank you for reviewing it. Havent even watched the movie but the sets look great!
ITS AMAZING
Didn’t think Lego would ever price sets higher than Star Wars sets lol. But when you break down how many new molds there are it does make more sense strictly because some of those pieces (the heads and animal parts mostly) won’t be able to be used in other licenses without slight retools. The legs were used before I believe in a CMF. Seems in my eyes you are spot on with this being a niche product for a niche market. Wouldn’t be surprised if Lego didn’t produce as many of these sets as other lines. Supply and demand. Low supply for low demand means higher prices
I don't know why but the Minifig really looks like Fake Lego. But the leg and the hand can be use as Mr. fantastic if lego release Fantastic 4 minifigure.
ahaha kinda do indeed :P
The Payakan set is easily my favorite and will be a day ine purchase for me. I absolutely love the creature and it's design in the film and I love that we're finally getting a LEGO whale, even if it's an alien whale. The crabsuit is also a nice build and a cool design. I'll also be getting the Ilu set at some point as it's also a great little set and I love the creature too. Despite the high prices of the theme, I'm really impressed with the theme on the whole and I'll probably end up getting all of the sets eventually.
7:45 You gave Neytiri a Metacayina tail
You say not a lot of play but tbh the fact that the set has plastic wings instead of cloth or something like that REALLY reminds me of being a kid and how AWESOME these sets would be to play with in the bathtub.
I use to always play with my lego in the tub with the Atlantis series. but even though they were from a underwater theme they didnt feel like the really worked in the bathtub. Tbh they were really big/Bulky
But these? These look like I would have had lots and lots of fun playing with them
Spider is still a kid in the film so it makes sense for him to use those legs. He's only supposed to be like 13-14 years old in the film.
The payakun is the only one that I would consider he's my faverite character of a movie and it looks really good but the crabsuit is also very nice
This so cool very interesting sets loved the movie as well
The ilu is so adorable… 😚
It’s not the pieces that matter, it’s THE BUILD
The thing about Avatar is the alien environment, so I definitely understand the alien reef
they should have done a Lego avatar set involving the giant hovercraft-like vehicle used in the film
Peak video
Nah man, but thanks
I think the main reason why the sets are so expensive was probably because James Cameron demanded that Lego "go-all-out" when making the sets and the minifig.
I think his short leg is because hes a they are teanagers, The two navi have normal legs but for them those are the shorter teenager ones.
these definitely feel more targeted at fans of the film and an older audience, as a huge avatar fan I'm looking to get all the sets for the collectability and displaybility of it. also at some point down the line those reefs are a great starting point for an avatar lego moc of pandora
These are pretty fantastic sets!
what a great line of sets definetly will get them all on release day
well said Tiago! I really like the reef home and totally would have played with that as a kid, but yeah, they are all super pricey. Will be buying some as soon as they go on sale!
Was really hoping all these would connect somehow to make a giant display like the first wave! Still gonna get them all love this movie.
I love the reefs.
RDA set would be massive hype the ships the robots and the spaceship
Me getting a notification from Tiago thinking it was an R34 review.
Not disappointed but I didn't expect this :D
(still please give us the R34 everyone is dying for it)
these sets would be nice displaying in an aquarium
