*LEGO sets in this video:* The Globe ❯ bit.ly/3LUcIyi Typewritter ❯ bit.ly/3tlY0cD

This would be so customisable to your own design. Use the base globe technic build then add whatever planet etc you like on top.

Why is there such a strong disdain against Technic elements in system sets? They're both Lego and made to correlate together. Technic increases the structural integrity, if it were all to be made with system parts, it would have a much higher part count and would be hideously expensive and you don't see the Technic elements when it's done. As far as repetition goes, you expect that with something such as a sphere and it's blatantly visible on the box..

There is one big + in this set that offsets the big ammount of technic pieces. You can use different parts to cover the globe and remake it using technic skeleton underneath. You probably could make other planets, moon, sun, other stars, maybe even death star from star wars.

Now I want an updated Death Star or Death Star II even more, just imagine the improvements they could make in shape and detail.

Although repetitive and consisting of quite a lot Technic parts, I do feel it's an amazing set and would look really cool once completely built up and put on display.

As someone who enjoyed applying all the stickers to my Maersk ships, this set appeals to me. The repetitive nature is calming as it lets the mind wander while keeping the hands busy.

I never understood complaining about "boring" or "repetitive" builds. When you buy the set, you know what you'll be building. It's like buying an AT-AT, and complaining you had to build FOUR legs that were exactly the same. Or buying the Hogwarts collection and complaining you had to build TWO wings for Hedwig that were the same. Personally I don't like repetition in builds either, but if I bought the damn set than I should know what I'm getting myself into. Like if you bought this globe set why would you ever complain about having to literally build the globe? Makes zero sense to me

Technic pieces have always been a plus to me tho. They're amazing support/skeletons to builds like ships and other vehicles

Question: How is the decision made at Lego whether a part is printed or whether there is a sticker for it?

I just completed my globe and I could not disagree more with Tiago's take on repetitive builds. This is a very Zen build with an elegant construct. I found myself staring at the interior as I joined the different spherical plate sections and marveled at the beauty of it. Very calming to put together. As a historical side note, I was reminded of Brunelleschi's dome in Florence and thought what an awesome Lego Architecture model could be built.

Repetition is fine for me as I spread my builds over days. And as long as the end results is stunning like the recent Taj Mahal I built I’m ok with it. This one sure looks like a stunner.

I really love the way light bounces off the separate panels as you rotate it

I've never thought I'd say this, but after the typewriter experience, it seems like I actually enjoy repetition in building large models.

Wow! I thought that a globe was never possible bc it’s so round. Good job Lego! This and the world map will go like coffee and donuts.

I just received a copy of this set for my birthday, and I honestly love it so much. I think it's really cool to see how to achieve non-blocky shapes using Lego, so I enjoyed the "skeleton" of the model in spite of its repetition. That said, the thing I'm most excited about is that I'm planning to take off all of the detail that forms the continents and use the globe with my friends to create a tactile map of our Dungeons and Dragons world. I'm super excited about it. I've also seen people do stuff like making the Globe into a Death Star, and I think it would be cool to replace the oceans with tan to create a more old-school sci-fi explorer's globe vibe. All in all I adore this set.

I wouldnt expect that I would love this set but something about it is just so perfect. Great early review as always :D

I appreciate that your reviews focus not only on the model, but the building experience and the quality and quantity of useful parts. Thanks!

Thanks for a well-thought review with some interesting points regarding the build process and number of technic pieces! Beautiful shots as well. Keep up the good work!

While I love sets with good building experiences, in the end, what really matters is how good the set looks. The building experience only lasts a few hours, while you get to enjoy and look at the set for years to come, and after a few days or weeks, you will forget how repetitive the building experience was. So even if a building experience isn't too great, if how it's designed was the best way to make the set look as good as possible, then it was probably worth it.

Very nice approach on this one Tiago, I like how you balanced out the perspective of a parts collector. Honestly, the panel free globe structure looks fantastic as the foundation of some steam punk gizmo, only needs a few lights in there :)

Great and thorough review as usual. I definitely agree with you on giving it a 10/10 as a display piece. As for the complaint on the piece usage I think you are probably in the very small minority on how you would use the pieces in this set. Most people will buy this set as a permanent display piece and not for taking apart later to use individual pieces for other builds.

I dig this so much! Great review, I want this set even more now. I'm slowly building my stock of Lego. In the meantime, I love to build sets like this over days or weeks. Very calming.

Set looks great, would be rewarding to put it on display. Also a very easy gift idea I like your reviews a lot - I appreciate the honesty in your reviews, and you don't just say every part of it is good.

This set looks amazing! While the repetitive build does seem like it could drag a bit, it’s a great display piece which is what I’m mostly looking for. As for the lots of technic, personally I don’t like to take apart my sets so it doesn’t really bother me.

Ooooh nice display piece though. I'd be very tempted to redo the land masses with the fictional worlds from my tabletop gaming settings. Thanks for reviewing, I hadn't even heard of this set before!

Got straight to the point, very informative concise review, and nice voice? You've earned my subscription!

It’s only inevitable until someone or LEGO themselves makes a Death Star out of this structure

Really impressive display piece. Looks like a challenge to build for sure.

C'mon, you already have the Technic BMW, now you have this set, time to embrace the selection of Technic parts you have at your disposal and start building with them instead of complaining about them ;)

Thanks Tiago for your great review. I think this is an amazing display set and therefore for me it is not a big problem that there are a lot technic pieces are included.

I’m all for the building experience myself, so I really understand your critique. As stunning as this globe looks, and as much as I like all those shapes, prints and new elements, I’m not sure if I’ll pick this one up 😅 I can’t say it’s a great set if it “only” looks great too - for me, a great set should have it all - awesome building experience, nice techniques incorporated, good parts selection and an above average display value. I really appreciate this detailed technical breakdown! Btw, some may say it’s not much, but for me this fix at 2:17 makes all the difference 🌎

Why do people complain about repetetive building sections? Its a symmetrical uniform object... what do you expect?

I do want this, but I wonder: Is the structure strong enough to add some tiles to the globe? I was thinking either adding some topographical details (small wedges for mountains maybe) , something to indicate places I've visited and maybe some more shapes like the boat.

You could create a full Death Star now since it's a full tiled glob

That reflects light so elegantly in motion.

That Globe looks really good, I like that they included printed elements (it might be a 200 dollar set, but getting printed items is not always guaranteed as we certainly know from a certain $800 Star Wars Set)...

I only have an issue with the gaps between the panels. Overall I like it and think it would look good next to the ship in a bottle set. Is that sailboat the Leviathan?

Dude I used to watch you when you had 7k subs, you've grown sooooo much!!!!

Thank you for the black rod tip! It is a small detail but looks so much better.

I would have really liked if it came with a lot of glow in the dark round bricks, so you could place one on every country you have been in.

Ugh I'm honestly torn on this one I feel like I'm with you. those printed tiles and the blue wedges and black 1x5s are super nice and I would *likely* keep it built but I think you're right about how much of it is the technic frame.. and I'm really glad you felt the need to include information like that in the Set review, because it's a type of detail I don't think every reviewer would take the time and count.. price/piece never tells the whole story!

Wow this looks awesome as a display. Super happy the labels are printed and not stickers!

the sphere construction is amazing! I'd use this for a MOC

Looks like a cool set. I'm not really against repetition so I would probably like this set if I owned it.

Ooh, good review. I really love it as a display piece, they did a great job on that. No stickers, as it should be for a typical display set like this. And I don't mind the Technic pieces. But yes, I expected a bit of repetition, that's just unavoidable with a set like this. But then you see that shot starting from 4:52....that's an awful LOT of repetition. The one other thing I don't like is the price. But considering the piece count and the number of unique prints it's not unreasonable. Well, at least not by Lego standards....

This is the kind of set where you have friends come over to help you build it. This model looks amazing. Besides the repetitiveness, everything looks fine to me. I knew just from seeing a lego earth that lego was going to put something about making the planet more green into the mix. Isn't it ironic that a company that makes plastic toys is supporting making the world greener? Or is it just me? I just find it funny. Great video TC. I love it. This is a wonderful revew.

Great and honest review as always, thanks Tiago

That’s what I love about your show. Because you always go into detail, especially regarding the inner workings, which you luckily did. And honestly, awesome Lego set, but repetitive design.

Great review as always. Not sure I'll pick this one up. It is amazing but the style of the finish isn't me. Out of interest Tiago, I wonder how many people are like you; build a kit and then take it apart for parts? I'm very much an 'ornament' builder. Once built, they stay built. I wonder if Lego have ever done research to find the percentages of each type of builder?

Love the review! Thank you!

I did the exact same thing with mine with the black axle at the bottom, the piece I used was even an extra that came with the set like you haha

A Death Star set like this with some interior and mount would be awesome, would be so cool to have a set like that. Don't know if it's possible but they should give it a go. This looks awesome.

Can we expect a miniaturized version of the globe or is that too much to ask for? And great review as always, Thiago, obrigado!

Hey the designer was a participant in the first season of Lego Masters France!

Honestly the paper bags are so cool, I really hope Lego adopts this for more sets because they are better in almost every way!

Imagine being salty about the fact that a spherical lego set has a lot of technic parts.

This has to me the same issue as the typewriter and piano. It's an amazing demonstration to just how versatile Lego is but at the same time exposes its limitations. The end results are purely eye candy and not actually useable as they were intended....ie the typewriter doesn't actually let you type, the piano doesn't play, and the globe doesn't give you any idea (except extremely roughly) about our planet's geography.

lego : WE DO NOT DEAL WITH WAR RELATED STUFF!! star wars line, literally having WAR in its name **looks around to make sure no one notices

Cool that they put the fan designer's initials on the set. I think that's better than putting the Lego designer's ones like the Ship in a Bottle or the Old Fishing Store

This did not have any buts. Amazing look, great execution. If you want parts other than technic, buy some mixed LEGO by the kilogram.

A normal globe doesn't really consist of much as it is, the fact that lego even made a complete design for the set is impressive enough, what mire do you want, its a globe, not a deathstar!

Thank you Tiago. I always appreciate your perspective. I've been trying to figure out if I truly want to invest in this set. It's quite an expensive set, here in Australia. Your videos really are helpful. Thanks :)

This is an outstanding review! I really appreciate the insights into some of the design features, the critique of the building experience, and being able to "see into the box" before I decide whether to purchase the set or not. Thank you for taking the time to put together such a thorough and well-edited review video!

I can completely understand your criticism of this set, but I would like to say a few more things about it. For me, a model does not only have to look good from a distance, which this globe has only achieved to a limited extent. I also want to be able to enjoy it when I look at it up close, and unfortunately this globe doesn't do that for me at all. Yes, the set has printed tiles and there is a nice little feature that allows the globe to rotate, but unfortunately that's all there is positive to say about this set. Some things you shouldn't try to make out of Lego, and for me a globe is definitely one of those things you should stay away from. And then something else about your comment about the plastic packaging: Unfortunately, these so-called paper bags that came with the "Temple Set" are also coated with plastic on the inside. This is eyewash, because since these bags are not made entirely of paper, they have to be recycled with the other plastic waste. Moreover, microplastics are also released from this composite material, which can end up in the soil and groundwater, and at some point also in the oceans, and thus also in the fish we eat. I would prefer Lego to stick with the conventional bags or, as the Mould King company does, use reusable Ziplock bags. In my eyes, that would be more honest with the customers, because the reference to the composite material or the plastic coating inside was missing from the "paper bags".

I haven't played with lego for about 7 years, but i saw this build and i just had to buy it. Nostalgic!

As an Australian in so happy to see that every state got a look in include my home state Tasmania well done lego

Thx for another thorough review. I'm with you, building experience is always tops for me. Especially when I built with my son, but I do space out the build on almost everything over a couple of days. I like to savor the build experience. Enjoy each step and for me, it teaches me Lego engineering. I love it. I do like display pieces too. So this one fits the bill for me.

ok nice ! ecto1 was such amazing building expérience !!!!

For a lego set to be good I must enjoy looking at it everytime This one definitely checks out!

tiago you hold a very special place in my lego heart cause i didn’t even know you were a designer but i have every set from you and i got them all on my birthday over the years the only part of a set you made i don’t think is great is the bottom of the ship and the bottle set cause it’s really foggy but it’s the best that was doable at the time and it’s still one of my altime favorites much love from the florida keys and it’s also memorable cause one of our good family friends when he was alive was mel fisher it was always amazing to see what he would find like that one time he came back with 30 silver bars from a spanish shipwreck rip mel fisher and one of my favorite things is a part of a ship window he gave for me as a birthday present when i was 5

This is definitely on my To Buy list and, all being well, will be a Day 1 purchase for me!!

I think it looks awesome without the plates connected at 5:30 :) Good review! It will probably a day 1 buy for me. Looking forward to a same scale Jupiter (hehe).

It would be more fun to customize it by adding lots of clear dark and light blue tiles on the water, maybe put in a whirlpool and mini sea dragon, and for the travelers they can put a colored one by one stud on every city they visit

I got this enjoyed it for a week stopped when I have half the globe left, finished it a few weeks ago after almost a year, it was quite fun split up lol

Seems like Lego are doing anything nowadays love it!

the globe looks like a terminator at the end without skin 😂😂😂👍

I love your videos. keep it UP!

As a builder I specifically look for sets that come with a lot of technic elements because I use them a lot in my own builds. But it really comes down to build style. Almost all my models incorporate motion in one way or another with takes a lot of technic.

I can definitely see LEGO making a desktop style Death Star in this manner similar to the guitar, typewriter etc which attract non traditional LEGO fans to the brand. Star Wars fans would love a Death Star build like that on their desks. Great review. 👍

This looks awesome, Hopefully this means a fully panelled death star is on the table of ideas now

Good review as always. I don't know if I'm going to get this, after the coliseum I strayed away from repetition so much. It was my biggest fear with the Titanic set, but the Titanic set ended up being the best building experience I've had in a Lego set..

Tiago! Obviously you still have some pull or Information at lego, do you know when the Office lego ideas set Is coming out or if they just stopped production on it?

I think some of the repetition makes it a great set to build with family or friends, and like other people point out the base structure is highly customizable to any planet or satellite you can think of. DnD players or other TTRPG gamers would LOVE to have this as an interactive map to fill it with landmarks and dangers

I think the best aspect is that the top plates can easily be removed or modified. As others have pointed out, this is an easy frame for a Death Star. I could also see it working for other planets, an emoji, a beach ball, a watermelon, or an eyeball. Pretty much any round object would work. Personally, this would be a near permanent display piece once I finished it. If I'm paying $200 for it, I'm dang well going to show it off to visitors for as long as possible.

Fantastic review!

As someone who has this lego set I do recommend getting it even if not into lego to much I remember getting this set for Christmas since I was getting into geography although it took a long 4 hours to build I enjoyed building it a lot

I love the font they used for the printed pieces

*instruction how to pick it up" xDD that sums up everything you have to know about lego customers hahaha

How easy would it be to remove the globe from it’s stand (and hypothetically replace it with another one?)

That's a really nice looking piece. It does really seem similar to the Ship in a Bottle set which I really enjoy. I will have to add this to my collection even though the $199 price tag does kind of turn me off of it a bit. I think my biggest issue with LEGOs in general lately is the production quality of the pieces. Almost all of my older pieces (not within the last 3-5 years) do not have the dots from production where a lot of the new ones do.

I could have sworn that the 1x5 plate existed when I was a kid. I looked it up and was shocked to find out that it came out in 2021 for the first time. I feel like I'm going crazy!

This looks amazing! I'm definitely putting this on my to by list! Keep up the awesome videos, they bring so much joy to so many people!

Tiago, I wonder about the 4 big wheels in the globe, gathered one one side.. what are these for? Counterweight or do they move?

If your going to take this apart I think this would be a good set because it has a lot of new pieces you’ve never seen a lot of repetitive pieces you can use and a lot of technical (which idk why he hates so much) is very useful for building large scale or using in sets if you know how to use them I think he tried technic and was bad at it and now he just hates it in general 😂

Something cool you could do with this set is taking the printed name tiles and putting them on the world map

I Love The Way It Spins!!!

Hats off to you dude 👍

It'd be kinda cool if you could make iconic buildings small enough to place near cities. Example big ben for London, freedom tower for NYC, space needle for Seattle, etc.

For me, a good LEGO set at this size and price must have these (3) things. 1) it must be displayable, look wonderful on a shelf. 2) must have some good pieces, lots of variety (because I too am a moc builder). 3) has got to have a fun and engaging build!
