Custom LEGO hospital MOC progress #5

With just shy of 100 videos published to the JANGBRiCKS channel in January alone, I was able to get through the overwhelming majority of new releases, and I'm down to less than two dozen new sets in the queue.  With that, I'm now able to divert energies back towards the terribly neglected city!

I want the city to noticeably grow twice as much this year as it did last.  For reference, check out what it looked like last February.  Time for high gear!

Mega Bloks Call of Duty Anti-Aircraft Vehicle review!

I picked up this medium-small CoD set about 2 months ago and I finally got through enough of the higher-priority sets to slip a review of this one into the queue.

The vehicle is not self-propelled and is intended to represent a Soviet ZPU-4, a real-life piece which appears in quite a few different Call of Duty games.

LEGO Nexo Knights Robin's Mini Fortrex Polybag review! 30372

LEGO had a good sense of silliness to make this severely miniaturized version of the largest launch season set from Nexo Knights.  With a kid in the driver's seat, it looks like it may even be a realistically-scaled (for minifigs) future-medieval Power Wheels machine.

The uniquely-shaped second floor of the hospital is now complete, save for the front fascia which actually has to contribute to the 3rd floor structure :)  Onward & upward!

Back in 2013 when I was still fairly new to reviewing brick-based sets, I had the misfortune of trying out the previous Homing Spider Droid set, #75016.  The result was what remains one of my more negative videos ever.  Thankfully this new version has corrected the major error of the last generation!

I finally got the huge Ghostbusters set built yesterday, and I've rendered up two different versions of the process.  One is really quick to give more of the "wow" value of seeing 4,600+ parts assembled at light speed.  The other is more laid back to grab a snack or beverage, lean back in your seat, and have more of an experience of seeing the thing come together, one sub-assembly at a time.  Which do you prefer?

New JANG City non-progress & self-punishment!

Ah yes, the city layout.  That second-class citizen of my LEGO life.  Woe is it.  Well, I did make some changes affecting a noticeable portion of it this week, so as promised, since there's an update, I've made an update video.
Stuff yet to be developed that has been in the plan since 2013:
  • Tall office buildings
  • Custom freight harbor with ships, containers, crane, trucks, etc.
  • Pet store
  • Residential neighborhood with houses and possibly an apartment complex
  • Planetary Defense Force base
  • Passenger train station with elevated rail transfer
  • Second elevated rail stop
  • Industrial area
  • More cars, crucks (passenger and commercial), other normal vehicles you'll find in any city
  • More people (kids, men, women)
  • More...

LEGO Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters review & builds! 75827

I've done it!  I've reviewed the new LEGO set with the largest piece count since 2008's Taj Mahal!  For sake of reference, this has twice as many parts as the modular Fire Brigade set and 50% more than the Super Star Destroyer.

Videos:
Over the weekend I separately edited & published two different lengths of fast-motion builds to see if viewers had a clear preference between a quick "wow" factor and a somewhat easier to follow build.  Surprisingly, every metric was evenly split between the two, including viewership, comment engagement, and like/dislike ratios.  More people skipped forward on the 10-minute version, but I definitely didn't get an answer as to which was preferred!  Interesting. I suppose I'll have to try the same experiment with some other sizes of builds.

At any rate, enjoy the review and please leave a comment here or on the video with your thoughts about the set itself.

LEGO Mighty Micros Spider-Man vs. Green Goblin review! 76064

LEGO's new Marvel & DC Super Heroes Mighty Micros series has started showing up in stores, and any long-time followers of my channel should find it completely unsurprising that I love the concept, what with all the "chibi style" stuff I've tried, including my miniature racing-car series I did for Hero Factory.  These are not designed for the adult collector market!  Gasp!  There's nothing wrong with adults liking them, of course, but clearly these are targeted towards younger kids who just want to have crashing vehicles together with inexpensive Super Heroes drivers.  Righteous.

Must buy!  Best set ever!  Made by LEGO and therefore the pinnacle of perfection!

This is none of those things, in my opinion :)  Some of the components are really cool, but especially for the price, the entire set has too many misses, too many areas that appear or feel half-finished.  Even play value is diminished by some of the design choices.

Have a look at the review, if you would, and let me know whether you agree.

Fact: After seeing the first box art image of this set, I expected my review to go like a Mighty Micros overview -- fun cutesy little set, but nothing too special.

Oh, but that new Harley Quinn figure...
