Hi
With the Brachiosaurus, I actually quite like the look of the grey clips. In the real world when they put up dinosaur bones they need something to connect them, as bones mostly don't fully connect, making the grey clips accurate.
I agree! When I saw an exhibit of a real triceratops skeleton, they had these dark clips holding things in place.
Glad someone else pointed it! Yes, the gray pieces are plaster pieces meant to mimic the cartilage that would most likely be there holding the bones together. The same technique is used with incomplete skeletons with missing or broken parts.
Was about to comment the exact same thing. I'm impressed that the set designer thought of that detail.
Same applies to that T Rex Skeleton from the 76940 T Rex Fossil Dinosaur Exhibition, although it's very minimal (Yes I know the name is lengthy and way too specific)
You are so insanely good at filming lego sets. When I watch reviews from others, I always feel like I’m missing some things, but never in your video.
You're too kind, thanks :) Still a lot of improvements to be done, that's for sure, but working on it!
🤡
yup
@@JokeswithMitochondria hey mate i got curious about ur username so decided to check ur profile. Wasn't disappointed lmao
@@sterlingarcher8041 lolol damn ur right
As a massive fan of Lego, palaeontology and space this feels like a match made in heaven
RIGHT?!
@@TiagoCatarino I hope you can also review the upcoming T.Rex skull display, that looks like an awesome build especially for the price
Already on my wishlist
awesome, you're the best lego creator out there@@TiagoCatarino
100% agree! As a kid I grew up in my local natural history museum, and I'm so incredibly excited for this set. Paleontology and Anthropology have been life-long passions of mine too.
Something I like about this set is that it is one building rather than a large building with smaller ones on the sides like the police station or the boutique hotel
Exactly! I get the love for separated buildings but it's nice to have one large dedicated building every once in awhile.
I actually like the smaller buildings like on the jazz club and police station. They add some extra depth to the lineup of buildings (although i do still enjoy having this one be just one building)
1. I absolutely love this set. 2. I love the colour scheme of the building. 3. I find the colours of the tree and banners to clash with the building and I wonder if this is part of the reason why people are divided on the colour scheme. 4. Thank you SO much for showing it on it's own without any of the mini figures, banners or tree blocking it - it shows how stunning the building is and I think I have to buy it now!!
Lego bot!
@@alterego2275😂 never.... A bot would never say point 3 😉 read again
No, for me the colour of the tree and banners has little to do with why I don't like the olive green in the building. If anything, the white of the pillars clashes more with the green. The olive green in the haunted mansion set worked as it was pushed back by the black and grey, as well as fitting into a Halloween/haunted theme. Here the colour is too much and too grim.
I didn’t even know a prosthetic leg element existed! I’m a wheelchair user and professional adaptive athlete who pushes for diversity in everything I do, and having LEGO one of my favorite brands make something g like that really makes me happy :)
Lego has lots of diverse minifig elements these days. It's awesome. They have the prosthetic, a head with a hearing aid, wheelchair minifigs, and even a minifig with vitigilo
Echo from the Lego Marvel CMF series 2 has a cool prosthetic leg custom piece, it looks really good!
To be fair, they've had prosthetic legs since Pirates, but I get what you mean :).
@@pljjk9400bruh 😂
I like to imagine the grey on the skeleton to be the cement that holds it together
this was my very first modular and by far the biggest Lego set I've ever gotten and I could not be happier! I loved science and Lego growing up, and this set brought back so many good memories from the natural history museum in DC, which I loved when I lived in Virginia. I loved all the detailed exhibits and appreciated all the little explanations in the instructions! it felt like exploring a real museum with simplified plaques. 10/10!
That boxed finish to the windows you did to fix that unfunished feel was absolutely perfect!
Haven't bought a lego set in decades (growing older, no space, budget, etc.), but I watch every video Tiago puts out. Love his passion and the high production value of the videos. I feel all the fun as if I have the sets in front of me.
We need a Ben Stiller minifig in this set 😀
I think the grey hinges for the brachiosaur, with the apparent black stand, is a good detail addition. Makes it credible as in real life exhibitions, where joints are reinforced with steel, and a stand poses the skeleton.
I absolutely love this building, my favorite currently is the jazz club because of its fantastic colors and pleasant design, but for a museum I think this is nearly flawless! I feel like a tan or grey color choice would be way to boring so I think the still neutral olive works great, but I can’t wait to pick this one up
Can already be pre-ordered in time for Christmas!
I really wish I had $300 to spare for this set. It's beautiful, my girlfriend and I are really into museums, and it looks like it would be fun to just mess with on a day to day basis.
Great review! I love how you actually showed your suggestions for modifications and how you showed the building technique for the stairs and fence--very helpful. I also appreciated seeing the curved roof windows as separate elements as I am not familiar with that piece. This looks like a fabulous modular building.
10:21 that little spin showed the depth of the building better than I've seen from any pictures so far. I like when these buildings aren't just mostly flat on the front, but have depth, parts that jut in and parts that stick out
I wish it was either all tan or dark tan or hell a combination of the two. The green colour makes no sense. Whenever people think of a natural history museum, most would associate that building being a beige colour. Here's hoping it'll be easy to colour swap since the building techniques that went into creating the museum itself remains very impressive imo.
Top quality reviews Tiago. I really appreciate the extra effort to make this reviews more entertaining and informative 👏🏼
This was underwhelming at first, but really starting to grow on me. I've already preordered it!
The attention to detail is amazing. The designer's ability to tell a lottle story and include so many details is very enjoyable.
0:36 Legos color quality/consistency dipped hard. Those wall bricks all have different tones
I love the white banana piece usage too!
I absolutely like your thoughts on the design with the accompanied tricks in your video production 😉
So many references! So cool
This is seriously awesome!!! Super cool design and I love the interior.
Your editing in this video is so cool, Tiago!
Love the fence technique with the arrows, thats very nice! Also I think the olive green works, Lego Modulars are meant to pop on display and look good on a shelf, grey is realistic, but i get the compromise
This is so cool, I love this set it looks epic, keep revieing it tells me what to buy XD
Nice review! I'm seriously considering this one as a gift to myself. Looking forward to someone integrating the Galileo Galilei set into the museum diorama. Maybe even combining it with the Jane Goodall set.
Great review! Amazing video and context when comparing with other sets. Realy thank you for decoding all the hidden references from the designer interview.
AWSOME WORK
Glad it was helpful!
I just pre ordered mine! I can’t wait. And I just received the Home Alone set a few days ago, it’s amazing! Thank you for all of your reviews and content!
I'm super hyped for this one. Thanks for showing it as part of a modular street as its helping me plan out how I will place it.
Glad to help!
yeah! i can agree when you said that the first time you got your first modular building its really hard to stop buying more😂
I really like the space this set is giving as well the references i think i will buy it in the near future!
Awesome review of an awesome set. I just can't shake the feeling I wish it was coming out Jan 1st
this reminds me SO MUCH of the field museum in chicago (which is also a natural history museum) both have a brachiosaurus skeleton the field museum having one of the most famous and most complete skeletons. the field museum also has a geology exhibit and has a similar structure to the set!
if your ever in chicago i highly recommend going there
After my move i may consider picking this one up as my first modular. Its a neat one
Great review! Best quality video images. And very useful & nice details. Thank you!
Thanks for the video great as always
I’m not much into the modular building sets but I really like this one, it looks like it would be a blast to build and come up with ways to display it
I love everything about this set except the olive green, but I can get over that. I don't collect modulars; I only have one, the bookshop, but thinking about making this one or the boutique hotel the second. I like that you compared the two at the end.
I absolutely love the look of this, and can't wait to own it. I'm surprised we're getting a modular and a half (like Assembly Square) again so soon. I really thought this would be an "anniversary" thing that we wouldn't see until 2027, so it's a nice surprise. I am curious as to why LEGO is releasing it a month early, effectively giving us two modulars in one year? Maybe this is a new thing, so we have modulars available in time for the holiday season?
It comes down to money I think :) There's no sense in having January releases be it modulars or any kinds of LEGO products IMO. But I guess LEGO needs to get rid of old inventory to make space for the new stuff
@@TiagoCatarino Sounds reasonable to me! I'm just happy to be getting a new modular sooner, rather than later. Especially this one. 🙂
THREE modulars this year, if you count the Avengers Tower (which i do!).
@@TiagoCatarinodo you think Lego will ever start releasing multiple modular buildings in a year? With all the Bricklink Modular’s I think there’s a demand there.
Awesome review as always 🌟👑 Your comments about ways to make it better I approve 100% (windows, line between the floors..). I'm not interested in this modular at all (like other themes better) but I have to say that color bother me the most - white or yellow(ish) should suit it much better in my opinion. Design of the Brachiosaurus I dislike too. Rest is cool I guess..
Very cool set!
Nit picks - I would also have liked to see the dark tan Brick work represented with the Bullion pieces. I love the way the classic set references match the "history" of the world the museum is set into!
I love the reference to adventures theme, it maches the haunted house, and it is realy nice. I allways love that theme and after these sets were released i was thinking of incorporating the figures in city theme.
Pitty is that the museum does not show one item reminding the adventures theme.
I love the combo of bowser and the flower hehe
I love this modular and will definitely get it myself one day. Might've been good to see how the Dino skeleton compared in size to the Dino skeletons Ideas set from a few years back, if you had it to hand. But, as always, Tiago, great review!
True. I just think of it as a baby dinosaur.
Never got the assembly square but this looks like a good substitute!
My main criticism when I first saw it is that it's just far too busy on the front. There's just too much clutter making the overall structure look less defined. I probably would not add the window cleaner and I would build the tree at half that height to avoid blocking the banner.
Also, I know this wouldn't fit in line with the Modular theme, but I just really wanted the back of this thing to be open so you could directly play with it without taking the entire monstrosity apart. It just looks perfectly made to be played with in a dollhouse configuration, instead of a space-consuming construction project anytime you want to experience the interior.
Totally agree. I liked how it looked when Tiago removed all the extra busy work in the front, I think they overdid it a tad but at least you can remove it yourself for a cleaner look
Amazing set!
The downtown diner was my very first modular building I built ❤
It's the first Modulair sets I really like! I will get this one soon, first waiting for some nice GWP offers haha
Excellent another amazing video , keep it up ❤
I'm planning on buying the Escape from the Lost Tomb set along with this, just so I can Include an Egypt exhibit, the Ark (instead of it being in a box in a warehouse someplace) and, of course, Indy himself.
"That belongs in a museum!"
With a little adjustment on the exterior (the glass doors) and lots of interior redesign, this could work as Wayne Manor
OMG the scratches on the glass door! I like the references to previous sets, that's nice. Also the Galileo set is NOT free -- it's a gift with purchase which means it is INCLUDED in the price of the set. If it were free you can just get it without paying a dime but you get it WITH paying for another set. Don't kid yourself.
Sand green would have been a colour to satisfy more people. Serious Haunted House vibes from the olive green.
Love it!!
I really want to make it bigger when I get it. Most of the other modulars don't lend themselves well to upsizing in my opinion, and most examples I've seen just look wrong.
amazing set!
We agree!
I LOVE IT!
Great review, now I am even more convinced my preorder was correct.
Please keep your focused style, not criticizing every small bit. I also like your humour: the designer has never heard of Lego brick pieces... But then you come back with an appraisal for his work!
Que linda essa construção!!!!!!!😊
Excelente review como sempre caro Tiago ! Adorei o detalhe do pedaço de queijo e a entrada para o rato :-) Concordo em absoluto com os teus 2 pontos : as janelas inferiores poderiam ter o mesmo acabamento (prefiro essa alternativa do que a tua segunda sugestão). E concordo em absoluto que aquela linha branca e cinza não deveriam estar ali.
Como é sabido adoro o story teller por isso este é para mim um ponto alto ! ah...finalmente o detalhe do janitor ser o designer....magnifico !
Tal como referias isto começando não da para parar :-) (e comecei tarde com os modulares.....)
Abraço e continuação de boas construções.
P.S - ja estou a espera do proximo episodio do podcast e inclusive dei uam sugestão !
Fantastic set just pre oerederd great review
Hope you enjoy it!
I agree it looks good on its own. Perhaps put it in the center of a city park.
My gosh, that's a beautiful modular! I love the exterior and the extras as well as the first floor exhibits and especially the skeleton extending to the second floor. However, the floor of the second floor without tiles but studs and the references to old lego themes, which I find useless as exhibits, are major design Flaws.
I think there is especially one non-Lego set that has to be compared to this one, Xingbao's maritime museum (I build it). The latter is significantly less expensive while boosting a 20% higher piece count, a third floor, all tiled floors and a more detailed backside. Furthermore, I find the single exhibition theme better. While Xingbao's facade is incredibly detailed, it just feels like "too much" compared to the one of Lego's museum. The former boasts, however, a great ingenious door design.
You and Cheesey Studios are my favorite Lego channels
Man I haven’t used Lego since age 10 but recent sets look amazing
Apart from a few ‘flaws’, the overall design is simply amazing.
Love all the little details.
This one is my favorite so far
I feel like the last two modulars have really tiny windows at the front. I think this building would look a little better with double sized windows. Maybe it's the big posters on both sides as they catch more attention than necessary and make the windows look smaller than they actually are. It's a nice looking building overall but as you said at the end, it feels like a standalone set which I am not really sure I like
I really like this set very much. I actually wanted to make a moc of a museum so I am glad Lego did one so I don't have to. lol!
This is the big 18th Bday (now officially past on the 10th!) set, and I’d say this set is great already. I’m limiting myself to 2 bags a day, and my opinion on some aspects is this: I prefer the green coloration, it feels like something I’d come across as a random-ish building in New York City, though a brick red color would also fit well. The more plates I can plop figures out front on, the better. That’s the main issue I have with my two other Modular’s (Fire Brigade and Bookshop), they come with so many figures but no way to display them without toppling over unless you add some plates as modifications.
Awesome review
I want to like this but really struggle to. It doesn't seem big too me even though it apparently is. The stairs are less substantial than the police station and feels more like a boutique museum than a landmark museum.
This looks and feels like actual LEGO for a change. There's actual care put into the details, the details tell their own stories, references to other sets, interesting building techniques, play features and it can be looked at from all sides?! Are you sure this isn't a MOC?
Awesome set
I'm not sure about the color. I think the main color should have been light nougat with white and maybe other colors as accents
Its awesome that it fills up the whole baseplate for the first time in a while
IMO the dinosaur takes up too much space, I would probably replace it with something else
That's the beauty of the set though, its perfect to customize.
Hey Tiago, I’m wondering what would it take to be a Lego graphic designer for Minifigure’s. I love this set btw.
As the parisian restaurant ist my favorite Modular building I might be a bit biased (because of the color scheme). But very much like it. I especially love that its just one building not 3 with some random thing stuck to the side. It remindes me of the earlier buildings where the houses where just one solid block. Definitely the best modern modular as I didnt like the jazz club nor the Hotel ( just a waste of space with the angle and the whole behind it imo) :)
I hear you, I’ve just finished my first modular and it’s going to be a slippery slope… already bought two more, done a MOC of my own apartment block, and looking for retired modulars. Poor bank account. Also flying to Billund tomorrow so that could get pricey…
Thanks for the video I ended up picking add up for $220 today
Thanks for the comprehensive review. I like the colour, but I’m curious to know why you think it would have been difficult to make it in tan? (Sorry if you’ve answered this in an earlier comment)?
I just love the look of this set! I can't justify buying it, but...
Please make a recap of all the modular building collection, your top 3, just to know where to start this new lego adiction. Ha!
the grey peices on the skeleton are metal that are holding the bones together
This set is like a flashback from the history of lego
Probably my go to reviewer (besides JangBricks) since 2022
While not all Grey, the Fire Brigade was mostly grey!
I think Space wall display is meant to represent the Earth itself (blue water, white ice cap and green land- maybe the Americas? I admit my bias) with the spaceship swooping by as in the Classic Space logo
I think that the reason for the grey on the skeleton is the metal clips to hold the bones together.
6:32 im fairly sure the cray clips are supposed too resemble metal parts holding the bones together
I usually stick to castle/knights sets and builds, but seeing as how they're insanely lacking, I've gotten into some city stuff lately, and I really want this set
Careful. Your wallet might regret it 😂
Great review! Unfortunately, the set is so simple for Modulars line... I don't like Jazz Club, but compared to this set, it is excellent.
Hello, this would be a nice complement to my own MOC, a City can have more than one museum. How I would love a school next done in this similar style.
I love it and the fact that the dinosaur skeleton has banana’s as the rib cage but I probably won’t be getting this because I spent all my money on concord and I’m only really a technic and speed champions fan
Good purchase. This one does not beat the Concorde in building techniques that's for sure!
Can’t say I’m very impressed. It’s basically a rectangular box with a façade. The last modular I bought was the Boutique Hotel which showed some very impressive building techniques and use of angles.
The Olive Green is perfect. I can't wait to turn this set into a haunted house instead
