I see what you're saying but from my understanding the reason why pins are usually colored is so they can be identified easier. Some allow for a more smoother pivot while others are meant to be more rigid/stiffer. Unfortunately the pins are highly visible so they stand out a lot more. Idk if they make those same pins in black, it'd be worth looking into
@@DerpleDude Pretty much all Technic pins were made in gray or black at some point. 2L axle pins with friction (now blue) were only produced in black briefly so they might be expensive/hard to find though. Edit: yep, they're $1+ per piece
To be honest, while the figures are great and the functions are great, I think it’s lacking in detail for an ICONS set, a lot of exposed technic and colored pins. Also lack of a display stand for posing it flight mode. I understand for many these aren’t huge deals but I expect a more display friendly look for an Icons set, and would rather it look better then function better.
Well they used up all the material for the waistcape of the Baron and Lego said that it was for play convenience to stop it from leaking.Why else would they remove a key part of many clone mini figures.It couldn't be because like many billion Euro companies try and save every cent possible.
Well this is probably the only Dune set we'll ever get, so yes. Meanwhile we'll get a million more star wars sets, so they got plenty more chances to make clone kamas again
ITS AWSOME! Already have one and it's a must! It won my budget against quite a few excellent sets and absolutely no regrets. Build was very good as well.
Its interesting because a lot of the characters arent in the uniforms I wouldve thought - that being said they do give you everything so that you can make the characters the way you want if you choose. You can put Paul in the stillsuit, or Duncan, etc. I do think Keins is a weird addition, shes an important character but not prominent. It wouldve been better to have saurdukar or harkonen grunt imo. Hopefully we get more sets though!!
Slightly off topic, but has anyone noticed in the newest Dune 2 trailer that the last 5 music notes are the exact same as the first 5 music notes in Halo Wars “Spirit of Fire”?
Thanks for the review. When I saw the reveal you mentioned and I saw the wings, that was that. I pre-ordered it right then and there. This set looks epic and the Mini-Figs are great. I think this will be a one-off in terms of Dune but this will be worth every penny. February 1st can’t come fast enough!
Can you open only landing think on back without legs(sorry i cant speak english very well) to represent the scene from a movie when paul and gurney stand and seeing a worm eating a spice machine
The only mystery is how Lego is keep conjuring these extreme high quality sets out of the thin air. Classic Lego Space vibes, super cool mechanical wings, better overall design than custom made toys, tipping into the Dune universe with an awesome set of minifigs. Everything that makes life great!
Was this review released early or are you the only member of LAN who got it/was interested in it? I can't find any other reviews on UA-cam or google yet - only the developer interviews and previews from two months ago. I appreciate your review obviously but I was just trying to search for some other reviews (there are usually quite a few LAN reviews all at the same time when the embargo is lifted) to get a longer review and noticed yours was the only one on the internet already. At first I just assumed you found it early in stores so you beat the embargo date but it says it was provided as an early review copy from Lego so I assume it's a LAN review. Anyways, I just figured I would ask in case this was on accident. Either way, cheers and thanks for the review.
100% broken embargo date. Probably got a date mixed up somehow. I tried to warn him but I guess he didn't see the comment. The rest of the LAN reviews just came. @@Aido4258
i think the only fully new glass piece is the very front of the cockpit, the sides are the same as used on the galaxy explorer but in black, and i think the same piece was in the UCS X-Wing as well
there are 2 new pieces and a 1 new color. the Wing pieces are new, and the small front piece of the cockpit are new. the new color is the trans black (the color of each of the glass pieces)
Very cool build, would prefer the wing-blades being plate-built instead of using huge specialized pieces, but ofc the weight of them would be too much. All the mechanics are very cool, but realistically you'll just swoosh it once then it goes onto the shelf. Most kids wont get this thing for birthday, the audience is mostly adults I guess. I loved the movie, but not enough to invest in such an expensive set.
The colored technic looks really bad in my opinion. I also wish the Fremen characters had the nose piece instead of just their face, and then the other side of the head had the full mask. The cockpit also looks a little off. I really wish they had not included the functionality and rather made the thing look more accurate. I know it's cool but personally I don't know if I like it too much.
The set looks amazing but I do have one concern. Just how long are those wings going to last. They already look like they are deforming and I can only assume the motion play feature will make it worse.
Aaaah the number of the set is so close to 10191 which is the year in which the Dune is happening. WHY THEY MISSED SUCH AN OPPORTUNITY BY SO LITTLE AAAAAAAA
Yes, the #legoiconsduneatreidesroyalornithopter is really a great model, it's really fun to build. Even if it's a hidden LEGO Technic model! In my opinion, it’s already the best LEGO model of 2024!
Tbh i wanted to pick this up but I changed my mind. Main reason is that I dont like technic and the features that it does dont do it for me cuz I would rather have a nice display set than this and so ill be building moc instead. Plus I can get the minifigures seperately.
Oh, so the Barron is mostly just cape/cloth. From the original pictures I’d thought he was plastic/brick like they occasionally do with a queen or princess dress. This is less interesting/impressive.
But it looks so unfinished at the back and the shaping is all over the place. I assume most of the development time went into the wings which do look awesome but in the end, overall it's just dark, colorless and unpolished. :/
I think they should have focused on this being a display set rather than an adult playset. The functions detract from the overall look which I think is more important. I think a smaller set with lady Jessica and Paul in the smaller ornithopter they pilot later in the film would have been more interesting
I must not fear. Fear is the mind killer. Fear is the little that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone, there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
Wouldn't be LEGO if there weren't all those colored pins showing and being grossly priced :/ But overall, not as bad as expected. Looks like the designer wasn't completely screwed over by execs.
Oh man, I still won't forgive lego for coloring those pins like that. They had a good thing going with the black and grey. It really makes use of technic pieces less appealing to designers, which is a shame.
The exposed technic in this set just makes it look unfinished, imho. So close to being amazing. Also, it looks like you have misbuilt the wing mechanism compared to the developer videos.
Those colored pins *everywhere* are atrocious. Looks more like a prototype... Wouldn't hurt LEGO to atleast have correct colors for all the visible parts.
LEGO been saving up all the cloth from SW clones kamas for this set.
based
:(
Oh boohoo my clone doesn't have a
piece of waist fabric 😢
😂😂😂
That's both sad and true a bit amusing as well 😂
The designers for this set should be extremely proud. Absolutely amazing set
Colored pins usually don’t bother me but they do with this set. And I wish the face prints had better likenesses to the actors

Man this is an amazing set. Still can’t believe Lego made a Dune set. I preordered two, can’t wait for them to arrive.

It’s not even available for pre order lol…

I really don‘t like the colored axles and pins but still looking forward to it and changing them for black or grey parts :D
So the barren can have the largest cloth piece known to man but captain rex can't have a waist cape.

The Baron Harkonen has gone on a successful diet.
I can’t believe they included jetstream Sam cosplaying as Peter griffin in this set
Which figure is that?
"Good, very good"
Underrated comment 🤣
@@TheFirstCurse1 Duncan i think. Jetstream Sam in lego is impossible tho,they would need a new legpiece to replicate the thicccness
@@TheFirstCurse1 how do you live in everyday life being this oblivious? theres ONE minifig with peter griffins clothes, are you blind?
Great review! Love Dune and can’t wait for the sequel and this set!
I may get it. Specially because the mini fig count
I didn't know how much I needed this set until now
ITS AWSOME! Already have one and it's a must! It won my budget against quite a few excellent sets and absolutely no regrets. Build was very good as well.

Small thing, it’s called a stillsuit, not a Fremman Suit. Also, main character missing is Javier Bardem’s Stilgar.
Great callout! Thanks you!

The cockpit pieces look like they could go well with an AT-OT, the set looks great too!
This set has SOOO much SWOOSH!🥰
An important feature of any sci-fi craft.

Thiing I like from this set is that there's unique glass/window panel that can be used in other creations.
We live in a timeline where Star Wars and Dune have Lego sets
Also in the timeline where Star Wars now sucks. So there’s that :(.
@av_oid oh common, we used to have One good starwars movie, now we have Two. It could be worse, we could have more Christmas specials :)
@@randomnickify it's not even so bad it's good it's just bad. Apathy is death and that's what's happened with star wars.
Apathy is death 💙❤️🙈
Am I wrong or are the side cockpit pieces not new? Aren't they the UCS X-wing cockpit?
i think the only fully new glass piece is the very front of the cockpit, the sides are the same as used on the galaxy explorer but in black, and i think the same piece was in the UCS X-Wing as well
Color is

Haven’t been this excited for a set ever I think
Very cool! Thanks for reviewing this before the release! How do you like your Periodic Table of LEGO Colors? I just got the 3.0 not long ago.
Very cool build, would prefer the wing-blades being plate-built instead of using huge specialized pieces, but ofc the weight of them would be too much.
All the mechanics are very cool, but realistically you'll just swoosh it once then it goes onto the shelf. Most kids wont get this thing for birthday, the audience is mostly adults I guess.
I loved the movie, but not enough to invest in such an expensive set.
Definitely looking forward to this!
Let's go! nice job man
I just can't wait to get my grubby hands on this kit.

i doubt i’ll have the funds to pick this up but my GOD is it beautiful
Super cool!!! I want it! But it's too expensive for me right now...
Why red axles? And the wings are pretty floppy
The set looks amazing but I do have one concern. Just how long are those wings going to last. They already look like they are deforming and I can only assume the motion play feature will make it worse.
im hyped for this to release! i am going to order the baron head for my custom kingpin!
Take a shot every time he says “super.”
Aaaah the number of the set is so close to 10191 which is the year in which the Dune is happening. WHY THEY MISSED SUCH AN OPPORTUNITY BY SO LITTLE AAAAAAAA
Does the Paul Atreides figure have another print with a mask on the back of the head?
Oh man I really dig this thing!
Hey DarkBluishGray! Keep up the great content :) I hope to see you review this Dune set!
@@colbyentzminger217 ha thanks bud. We'll see lots of good sets coming out this year.
This set is soo good. But why with the little bits of red on the ship??

Why is Duke Leto in a fremen suit?

I’ll definitely Be getting more accurate hair for Paul, and swapping Leto and Paul’s outfits from time to time.
This is just awesome I can’t wait to get it
Oh, so the Barron is mostly just cape/cloth. From the original pictures I’d thought he was plastic/brick like they occasionally do with a queen or princess dress. This is less interesting/impressive.

Awesome!
How deep a bookshelf is required? (So width discounting wings on one side)
Oh my god wow this set is just amazing
The literal only complaints I have are that Paul’s minifig is kinda underwhelming and that it doesn’t have Stilgar and Feyd.
Now we need a hunter killer from T2
But it looks so unfinished at the back and the shaping is all over the place. I assume most of the development time went into the wings which do look awesome but in the end, overall it's just dark, colorless and unpolished. :/
I can see why we aren’t getting waist capes…
Those bright technic pins though...
I think I might have to not buy this one, just because I’m saving up for the UCS Venator. I don’t have that kind of money.
I was really thinking about getting this one. Now that I see the amount of visible blue and red parts I'll pass.
I think they should have focused on this being a display set rather than an adult playset. The functions detract from the overall look which I think is more important. I think a smaller set with lady Jessica and Paul in the smaller ornithopter they pilot later in the film would have been more interesting
The book is, of course, much better than a film could ever be. You should read it.
Preordered
I must not fear.
Fear is the mind killer.
Fear is the little that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.

Wouldn't be LEGO if there weren't all those colored pins showing and being grossly priced :/ But overall, not as bad as expected. Looks like the designer wasn't completely screwed over by execs.
Did not expect TLG to pull of somehing like this. A designer sets with.. with... what ? With multiple actual, relevant FUNCTIONS ???
blue, red and yellow. That's everything i see. So bad Lego can't produce these Parts in the right color
Is this a real set??
Yes, you can already preorder it in lego store.
My desire for this set is growing a little to fast.
I think it’s close to Minifig scale, but still to small
Perhaps a better camera for your videos. I do like the content but the constant moving and out of focus were giving me head ache!
I would have expected Lego DOOM before Lego Dune. To be fair I wouldn't typically expect either of the two
Oh man, I still won't forgive lego for coloring those pins like that. They had a good thing going with the black and grey. It really makes use of technic pieces less appealing to designers, which is a shame.
Lego's prices are getting crazy.
People will scalp this like crazzzzzzzzzy.
The exposed technic in this set just makes it look unfinished, imho. So close to being amazing.
Also, it looks like you have misbuilt the wing mechanism compared to the developer videos.
While I have zero interest in DUNE at all, I for sure want to grab this set.
I want this
“Really cool”
The functionality is cool and all but honestly I don't think it looks that good as a display model. Figures are great though.
140 € for that is nuts
I’ll never forget or forgive my mum for selling my lego
Lego could've printed that cape XDD
is it just me who thinks that jason momoa here looks amlot like peter griffin?
i would get this if it was $100
Let the gang know, how many red pegs does it say are in it, back of the instruction manual time
Liet, my man, what have they done to you...
Too bad every wing blade is going to end up curved and bent from too soft of plastic..
way way way too many exposed studs on this one. Hopefully modding it will do wonders.
$ 165 WTF
Is it me or does Duke Leto already have a torso crack at 3:43
Nope! That's essentially a print/mold line - they're commonly seen in that dark pearl/gray color!
Those colored pins *everywhere* are atrocious. Looks more like a prototype... Wouldn't hurt LEGO to atleast have correct colors for all the visible parts.
This is a Rahi!
I read opinmoner
wdym "a few weeks" its coming in a month
February 1st. Like 2 weeks
