- One of the most asked questions I get is, where's Sean?
Well he's back but having such a long break made him go a little nuts on camera, so you might want to cover your kids ears on this one. Lol. The good news is, even if you're not a fan of tanks, you might still enjoy this like me...or not.
It's time to look into this bad boy and I can confirm this is probably our #1 seller right now. It might be sold out already, so if you didn't manage to get it, just wait more will come back in stock.
Also, I will be back with Sean sooner than you think.
Sit back enjoy this #panlos #tank #maus You might even need a drink during this talk.

That turret took a couple tries to seat the roof on but once it was on it felt really sturdy. I was really amazed at Panlos's quality of the parts and the instructions. This was my first major non-LEGO set and I absolutely loved putting it together.
Noah! That was fast. I’m glad you got it and it helps being newer. Their older tanks are ok too but some could be a hit and miss but overall it’s great to see brand stepping up their game. Glad you loved putting it together cause I did too.
Panlos really has knocked it out of the ball park with the quality of their products. I purchased their Merkava mk4 tank and it was so much fun to build. Looking forward to getting the Maus now. :)
@@kamuiius They really have. I was really impressed. Get the Maus: it's loads of fun to put together.
Me, a German still smirking about that Mannemer Dreck literally means dirt of Mannheim. XD Anyways, nice and funny video as always, so glad I haven't died because of a drop test xD
At least the dirt tastes good lol.
@@brickmeupscottie great comeback Scotty!
The “potato smasher” is the bottom of the German frag grenade if you were wondering
Thank ya!
It would be cool to see you and Sean do a build video. You guys are so awesome together.
That video would be a week long.
I love how UA-cam recommends this now. Also like how Scotty is playing with the barrel while Sean is talking. They wouldn't have had any gas left to fuel a motorbike. Also I missed my chance, but then again Germany did as well.
I’m sure UA-cam doesn’t like recommending me that much lol
Its the best when you get Sean in on these videos. He is freaking hilarious and makes the videos even better. I figure they had a large assortment of weapons so reduce manufacturing cost they can put the same cast peice out with all the army style sets and would cover all the sorta countries.
I’ll try to get him on more. Always good and keeps me sane too.
You’re probably right on the weapons we’ve seen that happen too many times in modulars. Like what the hell am I supposed to do with 10 combs.
Woohooo New Scottie video! It is good to see Sean again. :)
Yessss finally.
@@brickmeupscottie I am going to have to buy this tank now. Awesome Review Scottie! :)
the reviews with sean are always so good!
The good news is, I've got him coming back...the bad news is...he's leaving for good soon. Noooooooooooooo
That's one big tank or mobile bunker, depends as you think about it, thank you for the review
A beast...
Fun fact, the prototype stages of the Panzer VIII Maus, were first, the Vk 100. 01 (Porsche) and second, the Mauschen (Little mouse). There were also a few variants of other super-heavy tanks. The Vk 72. 01 (Krupp) and E100. Both carried larger guns, a 15, cm cannon, which was stronger than the Maus, 128mm cannon.
Thanks for the fun fact!
Scotty was so zoned out during the quite excellent historical background. I get it, you're not a tank guy. I forgive you. 😀 Glad to see you're doing well in recent videos. I really enjoyed chatting with you a few times during "Dumpster Fire 2021" some of the footage you posted quarantine apartment buildings and other events was really eye-opening. Really brought home how the covid crisis affected other people around the world. Hope your little boy is doing well, I'm sorry I don't remember his name. Cheers!
Yea crazy how time has changed and it became worldwide. Those buildings are fully occupied with families now and I eat there in the mall lol.
Yes I’m zoned out and im thinking how am I going to trim his long ass talk. Hahaha our sit downs are usually 2-3 hours. What you see is a fraction so I have already prepare my editing skills while he talks hahahah.
Thank you for this review. Made me buy one and it's really cool that it has an interior
You’re welcome hope you have fun with the build. If you ordered from us I’d have thrown in a bunch of extra figs to fight amongst each other lol. If not all good you’ll love it.
Finaly got mine :D ty for the nice hand writen letter . Having a blast building it
Yay! hope your build was smooth and great to know you got it! Thank you so much!
Just recently came across your videos and just wanted to say that I’m enjoying the different reviews and love the energy, especially with Sean (hopefully I spelled that right lol)
Thanks for dropping by! And yes that’s Sean he’ll be happy you even mentioned him so no worries. I call him many other names lol. Hope I can get him back soon.
just bought 4 sets from your site, super pumped and can't wait
Only 4? Lol thanks so much. Really appreciate the support. Enjoy and be sure to send pics!
@@brickmeupscottie my bad, meant 6! Don't know why i said 4, they should get here today, can't wait
Nice to see Sean again!
Always good to have him. It’s been so long he’s gone off the rails and this vid was actually over an hour long lol.
Hallo Sean und Scottie.🤠👍👍👍
Hallo hallo again Andi!
Yesss
Perfect for my Lego City
:O
I just put up my ww1 Lee-Enfield bayonet for sale today, so I can confirm that that is indeed a British 1907 pattern bayonet, pre-1914 version.
😮
Puppet guy, is it still for sale?
@@thearmoredgeorgian2736 I'm afraid not, I sold it to a Hungarian collector.
To be honest, we all know, and most General Staff Officers of Germany, knew that the Maus wasn't good in most scenarios. It was vulnerable to bombing, sluggish, having a 188 ton weight, and had a large silhouette for aircraft. However, Hitler saw this tank as a mobile fortification, and a ram to batter through enemy defenses, which is what makes this tank shine, along with it's monstrous size. The Maus turret had a 260-310 mm frontal face, the sides coming at 241 mm, and the turret rear at 216 mm. Its front armor, was very impressive, coming around 200 mm thick. It was sloped at an angle, increasing it's relative armor to nearly 340 mm thick! The sides of the tank, were 185 mm thick, and the rear coming at 200 mm. This tank could withstand (to my knowledge) any tanks cannon in the war. Even the Soviet's IS-2, with the 122 mm cannon, only had 175 mm of penetration, only missing 5 mm of penetration, but still failing to penetrate the armor. The Maus was definitely, a champion in the armor profile.
Thanks for the info! Great read.
Amazing
I agree! I’m still waiting for the other huge sets to release.
Thank you for the video and all the jokes "...the Autobahn-Camouflage doesn't necessarily work..." fantastic. Stay safe.
You’re welcome. This was a warm up compared to the next review. Lol. Stay safe too!
You guys are dope pals keep up the good work!
Thanks for the kind words!!
Didn’t the drop all come about because of the Golden Gate Bridge?
Yes Sean should build a set 😂
Was it? I can’t remember hahaha
The video build with Sean would be about a month long...
I kept laughing through the video of what Sean said throughout the video. But I liked the picture you showed I didn't know that. But I have to agree with Sean on what they included for weapons, nice to know that the Germans actually invented something before the Russians did but never got credit for it. But I love the inside of the tank and all of its details it has, Brickmeet said he loved his too.
However Saslovsky has his work cut out for him on this one. Can't wait what knowledge he puts in the comments about this when he sees this video. See you in the next one.
It’s funny cause half the time I’m not even listening to Sean. I’m making sure the audio and the cameras are all working...it’s nice to surprise myself afterward hahah
@@brickmeupscottie from what I see it shows both of you have fun with each other every time. That's what I've seen in other military videos on your channel of comments from him so knowledgeable with stuff like this. Great to know afterwards like you said.
The maus is one ICONIC wander waffe and were all gonna remember it. Even russian lovers cuz its an important point in history and its still a good tank (if it be to keep it and the germans didnt destroy this beast) IT would have some modern things but on side 200MMS armor thats alot. And finally a german tank that doesnt get easly destroyed from the back( german tanks had problems whit back armor where the engine was but the maus had the engine centered) sad it was desrtoyed (fuel problem)
I watched / listened to the whole dang thing, EXCEPT the drop test. NO!!! I love these Panlos super tank sets. Imma pull the trigger on this set, as a display piece. The Maus is SO Nazi German. We've got a great Cobi / bootleg tank collection, including Panzers 1-7. So we gotta have the Panzer 8.
Haha I just dismantled the Maus and realized some bits did get damaged doh! Most of my past military sets will go up soon for second hand sale if you ever want to have what I’ve done lol. Some missing pieces here n there. 😂
Only reason I can think off for the Germans having a Chinese sword would be because Japan invaded some of China and Japan was allied with Germany so Japan might of supplied them with a couple of Chinese swords if they even got their hands on any.
Yes Sean can build one if he wants but dont make him
I forced him already.
To be picky, I think the proportion will look more accurate if both the chasses and the turret is one brick taller/thicker
As you can see I’m so off with my portions for any set lol.
Fwiw the grafitti on the tank just says "engine compartment" and "battle compartment", I guess to instruct gunners about where to aim to take it out.
Hahah wow… reminds me when I went to camp in high school and we wrote our teachers initials in the snow in the cabin he was staying in and just like the tank the entire student body knew how to hunt him down and attack with snowballs lol. Thanks for the info!
I wish BMUS had way more subscribers.
Thank you! Many keep requesting the same and some ask why I’m not bigger. It’s cool man. It’s more intimate this way or else I’d never have time to reply comments. I guess I gotta let UA-cam do it’s thing.
Finally ww2 builds
Great video, but personally I would rather get the Maus from the brand Cobi. Cobi doesn't have any details on the inside (just black pieces) and their mini figures look weird. But if you build one of their sets the only thing that will break is the brick separator, in case you ever try to disassemble their sets.
I do like it that you get printed pieces in this set, but at the same time I don't like the look of the damaged panels unprinted pieces on those spots would have made the tank a whole lot better.
Good opinion. You’re not the only one who mentioned the printed tiles. Personally I thought it looked cool. I guess you could alway get loose bricks and replace those pieces. Interesting to know Cobi can destroy the separator hahaha
The container at the back is a external fuel tank and would be used to get to the battlefield. So by the time the tank got to the battle the tank would be empty.
Thanks for the info! I’ll be sure to tel Sean he’s fired.
@@brickmeupscottie your welcome
Did he accidentally call the maus the elephant
With Sean nothing is an accident lol.
If you haven’t yet, you should review the new cobi version it’s way stronger and has more color on the inside of the turret
Oh nice. I don't get Cobi on this side of the world. Maybe one day I'll look into it.
the barrel on the rear of the tank was supposed to be a flamethrower because why not?
Hans.... Get the Flammenwerfer!
@@brickmeupscottie 🤣🤣
So wait where did u guys buy this?
Directly from the manufacturer. You can buy this set anywhere but we sell it too. I think the first batch has been sold out though so kinda have to wait for the factories to make more but there’s probably other places that still have them avail in the meantime. I think I have one left in stock here but it might have been taken. Hope that helps.
@@brickmeupscottie ok thank you cause I saw Etsy and some other 3rd party retailers have this for sale but I’m not sure to trust them or not
It's awesome to see this is a lot better scaled to lego figs than the COBI tanks are. I have the COBI Tiger 131 and scale is so off it's almost comical.
I still have yet to try a Cobi tank. I heard they’re good otherwise?
@@brickmeupscottie The details great. I only have the Tiger 121 (since part of the cost went to the museum to keep it running), but I love COBI's warship line. I have Yamato and Enterprise and they are absolutely gorgeous. I'm really hoping they get Akagi, Kaga, and Arizona at some point.
As far as the Tiger goes, the treads can stick at times. But otherwise it's great. I really want to get their Karl-Gerat morser.
I have that Lego tank
I really need to review more lol.
Hi Scottie. I like how he gave a historical background to the tank. Is he a veteran or worked in a military before? Combination of military knowledge and the brick build itself. As always Scottie, interestingly very good review!
I used to build 1/35 models when I was a kid, and I always had an interest in military history; a lot of my family and friends served.
What he said lol.
all panlos tanks are 1 28 scale
Ah nice! Thank you for that info. I’m so off on scale hhahah
do you ship to Brazil?
Yes but unfortunately, it’s expensive. You can email Ida directly from the store and she can update you. Thanks.
@@brickmeupscottie oh ok thanks
@@brickmeupscottie oh but how much is to deliver here in brazil
is that I want to buy here because the other store is more expensive
it is a reer armor
Oh nice thank you.
Tank Panzan viii maus
Hello USA 🇺🇸
Yah its an external fuel tank due to the fact it didn't have enough
Good timing I just told Sean during lunch lol. Thank you.
No problem and wow thats funny timing
tank!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! tank!!!!!!! tank!!!!!!!!!!! my favorite army car love it awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ll be sure to get more tanksssss ssssoooonnnn
@@brickmeupscottie yessssssss!!!!!!!!!!
I really want a maus set and don't feel like paying 200 for a cobi one off eBay. But man I really don't like those decals on this one.
I didn’t even think about the prints tbh. But...it looks like it’s possible to replace them with plain pieces instead, so it’ll look nice n shiny lol.
Too bad about the broken piece but cool looking set but not for me
Easily replaceable. I was kinda surprised they broke off.
Some of what Sean said is true and some of it is wrong, but it good try. The first thing is the name, I couldn't find anything about the name "Fanny" even in various UA-cam videos too, the two names that do come up is the name "Mammoth" and "Maus" but the name Fanny could be forgotten or not documented. He is correct about the person that created it. There was a wooden mock up presented to Hitler on the first of May in 1943. V1 was a turretless test vehicle in December 1943 with a wooden turret as the real design for the weight, then in June 1944 it a real gun for firing tests.
V2 was delivered in March 1944, with a production turret a diesel engine. Both tanks NEVER saw action in the war. But both prototypes were at the Kummersdorf testing facility in 1945, v2 was sent to Gronsdorf (I don't know if that's correct spelling for that) to protect the army High command bunker complex from the fast approaching red army, by having it parked outside the Maybach one bunker. It was blown up before the Soviets could capture it. V1 was destroyed, except it wasn't as bad as the destruction of V2.
However, engineers of the red army decided to assemble one tank from the two wrecks. That part of them trying to do it was difficult since the turret weighed so much, and it required 6 captured German 18-ton Pharmo Half-tracks to pull the turret from the wreck. V1's turret did weigh 55 tons. But it later arrived in the Soviet Union in 1946, but it didn't have any significance for anything else. It's at the Kubinka tank museum, as Mark Felton says at the end of his video telling about this tank quote "it's enduring monument to how not design and tanks" end quote. But to answer the question of the back part of the turret, that is where the ammunition will be stored as said on world of tank's channel. More rounds were stored in the hull near under the turret that's what those other ones were showing. Not really propellant for the rounds. The barrel on the back is the fuel tank holding 420 liters of fuel.
So I do want to thank Mark Felton for providing the information I used.
I liked what he said about the weapons and I learned that German didn't get credit for the the automatic firing weapon before the AK-47 was put out. While lost in confusion on why was there a sword included. I also didn't know about a Japanese man in a German uniform either thanks for that. So there was somethings I didn't know either.
That's my knowledge about the Maus tank, enjoy.
Thanks for the info as always.
I thought it was obvious the "Fanny" thing was a joke. I started out wanting to make a simple mother-in-law joke, then when I saw Eva's mother's name, I had to go too far. My apologies.
Also, Chiang Kai Shek's son was Chinese, not Japanese. Thank you for watching!
@@brickmeupscottie ur welcome Scottie, since I did research before I post a comment like this to make sure I have my facts straight and confirmed. But glad you enjoy seeing these, thank you.
@@whitebison66 I didn't know it was a joke, I can't really tell what's a joke or an insult apart, that's for me to tell. But yeah I couldn't find anything about that name other than trying to translate it from Russian but it wasn't able to translate it properly. So I don't know what it says.
Oh I had that part wrong, I thought he was Japanese since Japan was fighting in the war. But I had it wrong, I forgot he was Chinese instead. Just a mix up that's all.
This is the first time I got a comment from a guest on Scottie's channel since I started watching it. So thank you.
@@saslovskykoslov I apologize for the confusion. I think you can see, I often confuse myself, too. Thank you again for watching!

no. Solía pero ya no. agradecido por el traductor de google
@@brickmeupscottie Mis nalgas son peligrosas como el tiburón.
The tracks must have sucked
Actually not too bad. Other tank tracks are smaller which seems more of a pain in the ass. These being big weren’t too bad.
Maybe not imply communists frequently lie when you live in HK 😛
Haha as I mentioned in another post i hardly even know what Sean is saying. I’m making sure the audio is working and the tank is fixed lol.
