I remember really loving this theme. Never cared for the app, and the box art was weird, but it was a fun theme. I remember getting the Diner set and Welcome to The Hidden Side sets. Really fun memories
Still gutted we didn’t get more - I love Hidden Side. My biggest Lego wish (apart from a new Castle/Fantasy theme) is that we get a long running theme about supernatural/hidden world sets. It has so much potential. Hidden Side was close to it, just need some more work and better marketing.
Real shame that Hidden Side didn’t take off. I had quite a few of the sets, and they were very well built. A lot of the builds with hidden monster features were a reminiscent of Ghostbusters. Just a shame that the theme flopped because most assumed that it would be worthless without the app.
2:51 Lego did other AR stuff before Hidden Side, like Lego AR Playgrounds in 2018, and maybe even more from before then. I liked AR Playgrounds since it was a fun extra that you could use with some sets from around its time, but wasn't necessesary for the enjoyment of said sets. Although I still did enjoy the Hidden Side app, AR with Lego should, in my opinion, be limited to being a fun extra rather than the whole point of the theme.
I own almost all of the series 1 sets (excluding the high school) and most of the series 2 sets. I heard at some point that they made a series 3 but I never saw any marketing on it, nor did I ever see it sold anywhere near me.
I mean it faced the same fate as all the other lego original themese besides ninjago: They try to be unique and well, you can only make so many sets based around really specific uniqueness. Thats the same reason chima/ nexo knights, they were unique but kept their uniqueness loose. Ninjago on the otherhand is extremely loose, it can be based on various themes: western, jungle explorer, pirates, dungeons, different realms, augmented reality/technology stuff, and the most important ones being ninjas, dragons and demons.
God I loved this theme. I got 2 sets for my birthday, but it's a shame they gambled too much on the app, which sucked HORRIBLY! So much wasted potential, but the city and bus builds were great!.
The issue with hidden side for me was that we never got the main villain lady E in a set
And the boxes
That's definitely an unfortunate problem with the augmented reality aspect of it, would have loved a Lady. E figure!
@@AL123Productionshey I lost my old discord account can you add my new one
This is a theme I missed out on but younger me would have loved this.

Even though it was short-lived, I still love Hidden Side. Happy Halloween, everyone!🎃🦇👻🐺🌕🧡🖤🤍

I loved the minifigs for this series, I use them often for my ghostbusters
Im currently rebuilding the cool bus "betsy" and just cant stop crying about the loss of this legendary theme

Being disconnected after only 1 year is crazy but I wish to have gotten my hands on one of the sets now.

I still miss this theme.
I remember owning 3 sets Jb's ghost lab, the School bus and Welcome to the hidden side with the Ghost Jack minifigure
I had a big hyperfixation on this theme, and I loved the app. Really wish we got more sets.
The app was pretty fun!
I bought almost all the sets because i remember at the time it was a big deal for lego to have an original theme other than ninjago and city
Thanks for making a full video
:)
I think hidden side lasted perfectly long enough. I want more short themes like hidden side that don’t overstay their welcome.

The best lego hidden side return please 😭😭😭😭😔😔😔
I miss Lego hidden side
No way it started 5 years ago?! 😱

I love that game so much 😍😍😍
OMG finally someone who loves hidden side as much as meeeeeee
The box art didn't do these sets justice, I never paid attention to the theme and turns out it had great designs.
God I loved this theme. I got 2 sets for my birthday, but it's a shame they gambled too much on the app, which sucked HORRIBLY! So much wasted potential, but the city and bus builds were great!.
I did want the castle one, never got it. It didn't hang around long enough for me to prioritise it.
Goodbye hidden side
Can you do a video on nexo nights please? Youve made great videos so I think you would crush that one too!
I have alll the hidden side sets except for the halloweeen special sets
Didn't the game have a mode where you could play as the ghosts without buying any sets?
Honestly, I think the covid pandemic was probably? another factor considering sales probably reduced alot because of quarantine.
I think that Hidden Side also didn't sell well cause 2020
