I was very pleasantly surprised on that "full shark option", I think it was a good call on the IP holders to ask that it be included (hopefully those extra pieces don't raise the price too much though lol). Modifying the base to accommodate both the boat and the full shark also seems like it would be fun! That said, if they included an alternate way to build the shark, including a different configuration for the base out-of-the-box so you can display all the things you bought would have been nice, especially for people who may not want to fiddle around with building their own base.
Thanks JANG for all you do. I have never been affected by cancer but I am so grateful for influencers like yourself to be able to use your platform (of building lego) to do such great work.
My sister went through Hodgkins Lymphoma in high-school, so I always appreciate the cancer fundraiser. I've watched them before. It's always a relaxing event with Jang.
Yes, assembling the bow and the strings is extremely finnicky, and moving the set around is scary af. Anything involving droid arms also really tested my patience. But once it's all assembled and in place, this set is absolutely beautiful.
Jaws is one of my favorite movies so this is definitely a buy from me. I’m glad to see that it’s so well done. Now….. if only they would make an Overlook Hotel set from The Shining, my life would be complete
When Jang said he grew up in amd around boats, I imagined a flashback scene of an 8y/o him with a full beard in a yellow raincoat, covered in oil crawling out of the boat's engine compartment.
As a massive Lego and Jaws fan, I'm happy with the set. It would need to be considerably bigger to avoid design compromises on the Orca, and I agree with your criticisms (especially Bruce's tail - that was the first thing I noticed). I'm displaying mine as the diorama, so the tail is not an issue. Great review!
As someone who has never seen the movie this set still looks great to me. Not sure why, but the ship kinda reminds me of the ship from the River Expedition set from the Adventurers Jungle subtheme. They're totally different designs but for some reason this reminds me of that set. Keep up the great work Jang!
Thanks Jang. I built mine yesterday and I do agree with the bow section. For me it was as i put on the transom, and it broke apart inside, mostly the angled sections. I had to rebuild and that was annoying. Other wise 9.9 out of 10
Glad you mentioned the construction of the bow, which I found infuriating. If the assemblies start to move it works parts free deep inside the build (two small blue curves) and needs to be taken apart and reassembled. I really struggled with it and I’m a very experienced builder who rarely finds a build tricky. I honestly think it’s bad enough it shouldn’t have made it through quality control. (Great review as always though Jang).
@@sterow It looks like a MOC and sounds like it’s built like a MOC. For a display model, it’s “ok” but like you said we expect a certain quality of build from Lego
The cancer donations made me tear up. I’ve been watching Jang for well over a decade of my life, and I depended on many of his fun livestreams in early-mid 2021 to help ease my depression caused by the passing of my dad from cancer. I’m very grateful to see so many donations to what seems to be a truly genuine and worthwhile cause.
The "You're Gonna Need a Bigger Boat" quote is perfect! I was thinking the same thing when I saw the set. Then I saw the label and was like, "Perfect...Mind read!"
Thank you so much Jang for all the Cancer awareness you are raising!!!! My Grandfather just passed 2 months ago from cancer so it really warms my heart to see you really trying to help fund research ❤️
Appreciated Jang's knowledge on the subject matter of naval things and the movie (that comes from familiarity with the topic as well as resaerch done in preparation). Like calling the things on the boat by their names and pointing out little details placed by the designer for added realism. To me at least, stuff like that elevates the review and make it feel just a little more special.
AHA, found the bell piece on the boat, its a top hat with open top from friends, its not well documented 11:00 yeah figured out that was a crossbow bolt from next knights
They went with that introductory Hooper outfit because it is more iconic looking, what he wore at the end of the movie is plain in comparison. Quint was probably the easiest to get right as all his outfits had striking qualities. Brody was likely the hardest to do well, for a character in law enforcement he dressed quite casually simple.
Thank for the great review. I think the biggest problem with Chief Brody's minifig is that Roy Scheider had a very narrow, long face that's impossible to replicate in Lego without making a different head mold. But I think Hooper's face is pretty good, and as you said, Quint is nearly perfect. And as a huge Jaws fan and a huge Lego fan, I'm really looking forward to getting the set.
Love the international letter print! That seems new to me. What do the black phone handsets on the roof of the boat represent? Wonderful review, as always. Thanks so much for spending the time doing it, and for doing yet another fundraiser - very much appreciated!
I like the idea that if expensive LEGO sets are going to have stickers, have them be on the inside of the model and have prints for the outside. I think Richard Dreyfuss not only looks amazing but to me is one of the best minifigures based on a movie LEGO has made. 😆
Even as someone who's never seen jaws I really like this set. Out of my price range though, no matter how much it comes with. Thanks for the review Jang!
Ave Jang. Thank you so much for your carrity work. I already made a donation, llike i promist on your live show yesterday. Keep up the good vibes over on twich. 😁👍
I'll be getting this set eventually on sale but rebuilding Bruce back to how he was originally designed. I don't know why they changed his iconic fin, which was a star of the film due to the giant model never working, and chopped the top off to make it flat! Check out how this set used to be, and the shark looks so much better. Great video!
Glad you acknowledged that, I honestly feel like these minifigures are among the best I have ever seen. And yea, the whole thing is really a full-blown success.
Thank you for bringing up the bow section of the boat. I had to redo that portion multiple times and break out glue. The bow is poorly designed and for the life of me I can’t understand why the black pieces on the bottom of the bow section aren’t put on when the bow is disconnected instead of when the boat is together entirely. Great looking piece with excellent details, but the bow is very frustrating.
The alternate display for the shark was a very very good call by the IP. I’m rather impressed with the method the leg designers used to make that possible. The only complaint I have in that department is the at the display base should have had something to let you display without the shark.
I am one of those Jaws fans, and I just love this set. I haven't purchased it yet, but intend to. I can forgive the tail because it's LEGO, and we can find another way to build it. The designer had a budget to stick to I don't have to worry about. I agree about the gills. They look great even though they are set backwards. LEGO is a restrictive medium to build in, that's what makes it so fun when people come up with unusual piece uses to produce a shape. I'm just happy Bruce has his jowls. I'd be very disappointed if he didn't have them. My guess on Hooper's outfit was that a fig of him from the later part of the movie would have been too plain. He was just wearing a plain gray sweatshirt and jeans. I can get why they went for a look that had more visual interest and stood out more from Brody's clothes since he was wearing gray too. It is pretty impossible to get a really good Roy Scheider without a nose, so I think you're right there. Overall, I've very happy with the figs, especially Quint. That minifig looks like he wants to punch someone. I'd love it if they made Quint into a key chain mini.
Good Review overall, and although I haven't built it yet, it hasn't changed my opinion that the set is well done. You have pointed out some of the flaws that builders have noticed, and some you haven't? I do however wish that they (Lego) had included the following... A full shark cage for one, a working winch would be the other, the addition of a sound brick with ominous music of the shark approaching, damn! That would have been good. And finally made it bigger, as you're right, this thing was aimed at kids, but only adults can appreciate it, because it is fragile, and it's a look, but don't touch the set, which is a shame as kids love that shark! I think Lego has missed the boat (pardon the pun?) As from what I see was a really good idea, and I hope that in the next Legos ideas venture, they mull-over that!
The onyl problem I see with the minifigures is that Quint doesn't have a hair and bandana combo to recreate his death scene, but I think expecting that would be unrealistic. I don't know if a printed bandana paired with a hairpiece would've worked either.
Totally agree with the Bow like you and others have commented on. Seems weird that Lego would decide to only have two one stud connections to hold together. Still love the set and design overall build!
I wish the stand for the shark was designed to look like the animatronic used in the movie, like in the photo you showed in the video. Then it would make more sense to have it separate. Over all it looks really good, but the boat hanging over the edge of the base looks weird to me. Looks like they ran out of parts or something.
Love this set. My only gripe is the blocky build of Bruce. 11:30 is not forgivable for me, it's the first thing I noticed and the body could have been built up differently. Maybe MOC makers can use the tail of Bruce to create new mouth that opens properly when he is on the diorama...
I can’t stop wondering if there should be a piece of the shark’s tail/fin should have been made visible. The way it’s angled just looks like it’s missing that.
I like the minifigures well enough, I guess, but I would have liked to option to swap out some stuff out. The Owen Grady torso would be okay for Matt, the Seinfeld shirt for Quint without jacket. Not sure about hair for Matt though, maybe Senator Palpatine? Not sure about hair for Quint. Any suggestions?
You've been a staple of my youtube diet and a favourite way of mine to wind down and relax, so when you ask for support for a lofty purpose I'm proud to chip in ❤
Wait, so they still have the revolver mold for this set, idk why they didn't bring that back for the Onyx Cinder set, it would be a more accurate sidearm for Jude Law's character.
It's a really good looking boat and shark. I just watched the movie again recently and it's pretty spot on. Yeah, Hooper didn't wear that outfit for very long. The figure likenesses do work for me, though. I'm surprised it was the Jaws people that asked for the full shark and LEGO didn't think of it themselves. I appreciate it though. I'm not rolling in dough and and I have other expensive hobbies, so not sure if I'll be able to pick this up for not. I like what's here, though. Thanks for the review. I'm glad to hear the charity drive went so well!
I like the Dreyfuss and Shaw figures, but I agree with you about Scheider's representation. They made him look too angry and the hair is all wrong. That aside, a lovely set for sure. I used to make my own Jaws boat from the old Cabin Cruiser set from 1991 (4011).
My only lasting impression, having only watched this movie once, was that the Shark was waaaaaaay scarier than this one. Other than that, it looks like a great set, for those who want it
The cancer donations really impressed me! I’m glad there was so many.
It was exciting to be part of it and to see Jangs reaction, I think he was genuinely touched.
When I lost my dad to cancer last year looking forward to your videos every time new sets released kept me going
I'm living with just my mum now and she's going through chemo, again your videos are helping keep me sane.

i love how many incredible lego sets are coming out recently. but it also sucks.. because these sets are literally better than ever, but my wallet

Stephen King related sets would be so cool.
When Jang said he grew up in amd around boats, I imagined a flashback scene of an 8y/o him with a full beard in a yellow raincoat, covered in oil crawling out of the boat's engine compartment.
I can always count on Jang to give a 100% honest review.
the sticker/map of Amity Island is actually a map of Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts, where the movie was filmed.

The only change I'd make is adding a scuba gear Hooper, and a late movie Quint with bandana.
Was on the fence so this was extremely helpful thank you!

Quint was probably the easiest to get right as all his outfits had striking qualities. Brody was likely the hardest to do well, for a character in law enforcement he dressed quite casually simple.

The amount of small details and the strings make this set almost feel like a moc, but the result looks really good!
Do not get in the water, there are sharks.

this is one of the best looking modern boats Lego ever made, and also one of the best looking sharks
Love your T-shirt Jang!
This is probably the best looking boat lego produced. It would go great with the old fishing store.
The full shark was everything I wanted it to be
This set just makes me really want a theme about boats, maybe LEGO original waterworld type theme
Glad you acknowledged that, I honestly feel like these minifigures are among the best I have ever seen. And yea, the whole thing is really a full-blown success.

I went to buy this set & it was on back order before it was released.
"Hooper drives the boat Chief."
Very cool set! I think LEGO could have moulded whole hull as one piece that can cruise on real water.
I wonder we’ll get Jaws 2 Lego set soon?
There's something BIG coming jawsome set great review jang enjoying your charity time 👍
The onyl problem I see with the minifigures is that Quint doesn't have a hair and bandana combo to recreate his death scene, but I think expecting that would be unrealistic. I don't know if a printed bandana paired with a hairpiece would've worked either.
Is it possible to turn the piece around in the seat at the bow so the minifigs can sit?
Awesome review as always! 🎉
Jaws is here jaws was a shark without a cause
But does a minifig fit in Bruce's mouth?

Love this set. Will pick up the next double points
I I am surprised they go did not use the clear, red and green squares for the navigation lights. That is odd.
Well done on the fundraising 👍
Love to see a set where most of the issues you find with it have to be pretty darn nitpicky.
I agree with you about the figures' likenesses.
A shepherd's staff is called a crook.

Jang, may I ask if the Orca boat (only) will be scaled if placed next to the Lego Ideas Old Fishing Store please?
Great cause, Jang!!
Lego website saying 60 days for delivery what a joke
I get your feeling of the shark tail being angled wrong... but for me it's what looks like a pink tongue that bugs me since sharks don't have tongues.
Great set. Shark looks a little too friendly to me though
Too bad they got rid of Dots. That piece is great to have. Glad they have it in black now. Fun set. I would actually get this if I could.
I'm gonna need a bigger room 😅
@@Slavador2393 I'm gonna need a bigger wallet ;)
I am up for a bigger house after 4 years of collecting :)
Awesomeeeeee set. I wish Jurassic Park had a set of this size and detail. The weird gate did NOT count lol
Between this and the infamous "Master Builder inspired" set, it is clear which one people who has $150 to spend are going to chose.
Where can I buy the Lego jaws set other than online, are they only releasing in Lego stores or can I get it at target as well
Wanting to grab this set after I move, really hoping it's not sold out and scalped by then XD
Sick references 🦈
Characters look great. 👍
im fine with brody but they really messed up hooper, the outfit is wrong and the hairpiece doesnt really work IMO
I feel that getting a Brick Arms M1 garand is a necessary aftermarket modification. Of course I don't expect Lego to give us one.
I agree with you about the figures.
Lego will do a man eating shark set, but not a Deadpool set, makes sense
Yes, the bow is a bit fragile. On my first attempt at attaching it one side fell off. Success with the second attempt!
My only lasting impression, having only watched this movie once, was that the Shark was waaaaaaay scarier than this one. Other than that, it looks like a great set, for those who want it
